St. oe ' lAJitliout . . . • a asses The basic theories and practical knowl¬ edge necessary to mold Leaders of To¬ morrow are taught at St. Joseph’s. The facilities, in themselves, more than suffi¬ cient, have been augmented by an indus¬ trious body of eager students; eager to “advance in wisdom and age and grace before God and man.” Such are all the members of St. Joseph’s Academy.

s entord •Senior C iaAA JJi3tor O n a sunny day in September, 1943, a band of twenty-eight young adven¬ turers entered St. Joseph’s Academy for the first time. We were the largest Freshman class ever to enroll at St. Joe’s. Eugene Hartlage was elected as president to lead our class through the year. Passing the age of green freshmen, we proudly became cocky sophomores. We took as our motto for the year, “Better Catholics, Better Citizens.” We, the good citizens, realizing the value of a sound government, elected Jimmy Thieme as the one to guide our growing class this year. Our Junior year was one we should call the “Glorious Year”. We really hit our peak in sports, social life and scholastic work. We were moved from the dorms to private rooms in Siefert Hall. Those days shall never be for¬ gotten. The Monogram Club, which was well represented by our Juniors, put on a very successful dance. Many more dances were planned. The biggest of the year was the school prom, which was semi-formal and was entirely a Junior Class production. Our Senior year is nothing to just brush away. We were off to a good start, electing Bob Lamkin as our president and head man around the school. He was ably assisted by Jerry Diver, vice-president; Bill Briody, secretary, and Bob Nolan, treasurer. The seniors dominated the football team with nine of the eleven on the first team. The seniors also held a homecoming dance, to highlight the finish of the football year. The seniors again domi¬ nated the basketball team, with seven of its members on the ten-man squad. So, through the immortal halls of St. Joseph’s pass the graduating class of 1947, with four years of the best Catholic knowledge and training to lead and guide them in their future life. Page twenty
