3t ' Wouidn’t (13e 3 t. , oe ' Without .... A vital constituent in a student’s ev¬ eryday life is the classroom and, of course, it wouldn’t be St. Joe without plenty of them. Although the students do not realize the importance of the class¬ rooms now, they will long be remembered in later life as the heart of education and learning. Perhaps the favorites of all the class¬ rooms here at St. Joe are the laboratories of the sciences shown above. These lab¬ oratories are equipped to the minutest detail with all the chemicals and appara¬ tuses required to fulfill a typical scien¬ tific program. With all these helpful advantages, the students are able to actually participate in chemical, biological, and physical ex¬ periments under the direction of their professors, and will therefore obtain a better knowledge of the subject taught in these selective classrooms.

opli omoreS aSS of 1949 No longer freshies, and ready for a new year of studies and sports, thirty fellows returned in September. Settling down to the business at hand, they began by electing John Raster president, Chuck Russell vice-president, Jess Howard secretary, and Dick Carrabine treasurer. September also means football. John Raster, Bob Woodcock, Jack O’Mal¬ ley and George Pacholski made the squad. When basketball season rolled around, John Raster, Bob Woodcock, and Chuck Russell ably represented the sophomores. Religion, too, has its place and when the call for servers came, the major¬ ity of the class became faithful members of the Acolyte Club. In studies, the main goal of all was a high class average. With five schol¬ arship winners still in the ranks, an exceptional average was held. Along with work must come play. The intramural courts saw many a hard fought battle. Here, too, the sophs showed their spirit by turning out to the man and joining the various teams. Taken together, these things spell a year of great success for the sopho¬ more class.

Perhaps no other place is more prized than the studyhall. The studyhall, to¬ gether with all its murmured whisper¬ ings, contains a joyous atmosphere of delight. Delight, in such a way, that the student is more inclined to study than to constantly waste time. This modern room is very well illuminated and con¬ tinually well-kept. The prefect of the studyhall is always at the proper disposal of the pupils. In him, the students find help and advice as well as encouragement and favors. His aid is extremely appreciated and he naturally ranks as a faithful guide among the boys. Many memories of the old studyhall and its odd incidents will long be cher¬ ished by the prosperous St. Joe man in later life as he ponders over “the good ole days.” . . . Our Olt aAdroomA |i
