At St. Joseph's the basic military science stu- dents make up the officer and higher non-com- missioned personnel, and the junior R.O.TfC. students constitute the enlisted Cadet person- nel. The Battalion Well Organized There were several changes in the setup of the' battalion staff this year. A court martial board of eight was created, an intelligence depart- ment and the office of public information. The court martial board consisted entirely of students. Infractions of the Cadet standards constitute the proper matter of the court. It was partially in response to the demand of the stu- N-J Second row: Lt. H. James, P. I. O., Lt. N.

Sentences consisted of monetary fines and extra duty. Intelligence Department, S-2. The second new post created was the S-2, or intelligence department. It is part of this stu- dent's office to keep the corps well informed of the whereabouts of our armies in foreign countries. He is also to keep the battalion in- formed concerning the political situations in this country. Public Information Officer. The purpose of the PIO is to send out current information concerning the activities of the ca- dets and members of the faculty. Clippings from the school paper or press releases were sent to the home-town paper of the person con- cerned. PIO forms are datelined at the school and the editors who receive the information are asked to send a copy of the issue in which the news appears. CO.

' WWW? l-n 1-f NORMAN GIEBLER Norman, our lone 'graduate of this year's Junior College department, has been an outstanding student during all the years he attended St. J oseph's. He has averaged B plus during all his high school years, and has maintained this high standard also in junior college. Outside of the classroom, his interests have been chiefly in music and the crack platoon. He has been a member of the band and glee clubs and this year is the com- mander of the crack platoon.

To build up the department to its pre-war strength of nearly 80 members has been an uphill job all the way. Even with the return of the GI a-nd the privileges allowed them, the attendance has never equalled the former enrollment. With the announcement during the past summer of the establishment of the Mili- tary Institute -at St. Joseph's, there has been a greater interest shown and this year's enrollment of 23 has 'been the best since the war. The members of this year's college de- partment have been mostly graduates of St. Joseph's. Seven of the students have come from other schools. If the school suc- ceeds in winning the Advanced Course rating, carrying with its completion the rating of second lieutenant in the regular army, the prospects for an even greater enrollment should easily be realized. The junior college department at St. Joseph's offers a good variety of courses in the sciences .and humanities. The staff members are all well qualified by training and experience, the facilities are adequate, and should future demands require it, fur- ther facilities can easily be added. The double incentive of a college education plus the military -commission should be a good drawing card for the future. 25 'EI' in ,P-ev-v 'iinvl' unior Cofgge gI 8:lA.l'l'LQl'l WALTER WINDHOLZ .......

True, there were times when the going was pretty rough: then again, things were pretty good at other times, so, taking all in all, we do believe the happy moments overbalance the sad ones by far. Of course, it would not be the Army or even a boarding school if there were no gripes! O CHARLES BAIER ............ Pittsburgh, Pa. Glee Clulbg Camera Club: Messiah Chorus: N R A.

From the howls of the older men we soon understood that it meant something rough, and indeed it was. Many were the hours the boys tramped down the weeds around the drill field. How Well we remember the names being called off for dpenalty drillers to report to the O. D. on Satur ay mornings at 9:00. Sometimes our names were called off: and if we were lucky, they were not. Good Year for Athletics . The football team did quite well that year, winning five and losmlg two, one'of the losses being to our arch-r1va s, H3375 High. The B team had a little better recor , winning fobur out of five. In basketball the season was fair the Cadets winning nine, losing seven. The high- llght of the season came with the athletic ban- guet, at which Johnny LuJack, ot Notre Dame ame, was the guest sgeaker. The rifle team, un- er the coaching of Capt. Welglel, was outstanding. That year they won anot er third place Hearst Trophy. But the event that pleased both coach and sharpshoot- ers was the two-tune beating of the University of Wichita team which boasted of having one of the best rifle teams in the country.

The lec- tures were held in the -auditorium because of the lack of seating capacity in the chapel. At the end of the lecture on the second morning, we were moved out of the building immediately by way of the north stairs, and we wondered what had happened. On arriving at the drill field we soon found out: clouds of smoke were billowing out of the chapel windows. The local fire department was fast 'at work trying to quench the ablaze, and people were running hither and yon. When the fire was brought un- der control it was found that the greatest dam- age had been caused by the smoke and that the fire had been confined to the sacristy. The main loss was to the vestments and the sacristy cup- board. Father Terence was partially overcome by smoke when he rescued the Blessed Sacrif- ment, but he soon responded to a few shots of Penicillin. After the cha-pel was re-decorated it was more beautiful than ever. Before long May was here and we had suc- cessfully passed our first year of high school. IVANGOTTSCHALK.............Hays,Ks.

Hit The big project for the year was the pro- duction of the Choral Passion Play. A chorus of 75 voices, the combined glee clubs of St. J oseph's and the Girls' Catholic High of Hays, teamed with a group of actors from the two schools, presented a -beautiful and inspiring history of the Passion -and death of Christ. A narrator explained the action while the actors went through the story. Music was furnished by an organ especially installed for the occasion with Father Hyacinth presiding at the console.

The team went through the season undefeated and then took Lawrence, the defending state champion, in the first annual Sunflower Bowl game on Thanksgiving day. Besides taking the mythical state championship, Marion Schmidt was chosen to the all-state team as co-captain, and Bob Fluker received an honarable mention. We also took the trophy as winners of the now- defunct Union Placific League. The basketball season was an anti-climax. After losing 18 out of 19 starts in the regular season, the Cadets went to the Regional finals where they were downed by Russell who went on to take the state crown.

We even had the privilege of 'attending the military balls and dating girls without vio- lating the military standards. We finally got our turn to tell off the freshmen and sopho- mores: we really felt good about it. New Recreation Center Begun The Number One event of the year Was the beginning of the new Recreation Center. For years the school has felt the need for better facilities for recreation, especially for the boarders. Then, too, the bvasketball floor left much to be desired: it was small and the audi- torium held only afbout a thousand spectators. The new building was to have 'a large, regula- tion basketball court, recreation rooms, bowling alleys, swimming pool, exercise gym, wand had provisions for the military offices and music de- partments. It was, indeed, the beginning of a dream come true. THOMAS PETTIT ..... . . ....... Topeka. Ks. Yearbook: Journal: Crack Platoon: Basketball. IRVIN PFANNENSTIEL ............ Hays, Ks.

But while the records might look rather sick, still we covered ourselves with glory in the final game with Lawrence where we went into the game a three-touchdown un- der-dog, and just 'about tied the game in the last minutes of play. It was one of the most thrilling games ever played by la Cadet team. The basketball team showed a one-game im- provement over the previous team, Winning' four to 15 losses.

Not that any- t ing but sweet music lssued from the many in- struments: it was Just that the rhythmic-beat of a drum or the sweet wail of a clarinet Just did not mix smoothly with chemical formulae or the parts of speech. And the new gun racks elim- inated much noise several times a week-with the new system the soldiers filed in one door, past the gun racks, and out the other door: no muss, no fuss, no bull-rings as had happened formerly. New Posts in Military What griped many a soul was the Court Martial setup. It was bad enough when we had to march the. bull-ring for infractions of the regulations: it was bad enough to face Fr. Paulinus and try to get across an excuse, but to stand court martial, to pay fines, brother, ghvatihurt where it hurts most: in the pocket- oo . U The institution of the Public Information Of- fice should go a long way towards making the school better known. Whenever a student's name appeared in the school pamper, or when- ever he 'or one of the faculty 1d something outstanding, a copy of the story was sent to his hometown newspaper. Since our boys come from some 20 states, this gives much free publicity to the school. CHARLES SHIPLEY ......... Independence, Ks.

The wins were over Newton, Dodge City, Ellis, Plainville, Goodland and our old grid enemy, Hays Hi. The tie was with Abilene and one of the best games the Cadets played, with both teams being evenly matched. The loss was with Hutchinson. Even though the Cadets lost, a great deal of credit was given to the Cadets for their fine defense and offensive play. As We go to press, fit is only Decemberl, we find there are many events which cannot be reported, since they are all in the future. The basketball team took their first two games and give the impression that they are going places this year. The boxers split in two matches with Russell. The rifle team has been re-organized but to date has not shot any matches.

The burden of t e publxcatlon, including the writing, edlting, and layout fell upon the faculty advisor.

When we look back now and realize what greenhorns we all were, how rough and unpollished, we wonder that the school has put up w1th us all this tlme. While we.may not be the most fmlshed and polished specunens. in the world, we feel that we have gained inestlmably from attending St. J osegh's --we have received a training that cannot e found elsewhere.

There was no score in the first quarter. The first tally came in the second when Tony Schmldt passed to Frank Boll1g who,ran for the score. Pitner kicked the extra polnt to give the Cadets a 7-0 lead as the half ended. The Railroaders came back in the th1rd gularter to go ahead 12-7. Their lrst score came when K. Ken- ard lntercepted a Cadet lpass and ran 38 yards for the tal y. Bafus missed the extra pomt. Wlth two mlnutes left to go in the third quar- ter, Kenard again scored from his own seven yard line, climaxing a sustained drive from the Cadet 17. With two minutes to go in the last stanza, Tony Schmidt went ov- er from his own 17 yard line. Pit- nezgs kick for the extra point was W1 e. EDGE PAST DODGE CITY The Soldiers caught fire in the first quarter when Tony Schmidt ran around end for 17 yards to score. Three minutes later Tony went around end again and sprint- ed 60 yards to hit pay dirt. Both kicks failed and thescore stood 12-0 at the end of the first quarter. Dodge came back in the second iluarter to score three times Their irst tally came when Dodge block- ed a punt Wh1Ch rolled in the end zone where the Demons recovered. The second score came after a ser- ies of line bucks, Dodge going over from their own 10 yard line. The thlrd touchdown resulted again from a series of line plays, and Dodge led at the half, 18-12. Neither team scored in the third stanza, the Cadets holding the ball most of the time. In the final quar- ter, Tony Schmidt threw a beautiful pass to Don Schmidt who made 'a sensatlonal catch and then went all the way. This tlme the kick was good and the game ended 19-18. I.

CADETS TROMP ELLIS 27-7 The Cadets made it three straight b tromping a gallant Ellis team, 2?-7. Pitner broke loose early in the game for a 40 .yard run to put the soldiers in scoring territory. A pass from Tony Schmldt to Don Schmidt and a line plun e by Pitner put the Cadets across for the first touch- down. The extra point was good. With only a few moments gone in the second qluarter Ellis drove over for. the ta ly and kicked the extra pomt to tie up the ball game. The Cadets came back with a pass- ing attack then an end sweep by Doc Sheedy to score Just before the end of the half. In the third quarter, na few long runs by Sheedy and.Hor1nek, led by the brilliant locking of Beecher, But the Cadets in scoring posltlon. itner carried for the score and then converted. Sheedy led the attack for the fin- al tially to bring the final score to CADETS SUFFER FIRST LOSS The Cadet steamroller came to a sudden stop when the team met the Hutchinson Salt Hawks. It was the Hawk's first win of the season. After a scoreless first quarter, the Hawks opened the second stan- za with a touchdown. as McCoy raced 22 yards to- paydirt, and then ran the extra pomt. Tony Schmidt then scored for the Cadets after an 86 yard drive. The try for the extra point failed, leaving the score 7-6 at the half. Hutchinson capitalized on a break with the second half kickoff and took over on their 45. McCoy finally went over for their second tally. After two minutes of the final quarter, Tony Schmidt went over to t1e the score 13-13. The battle see-sawed during the rest of the quarter until the last minute when Chaufant went over for the Hawks, the extra point was good, and the Hawks had taken one. Coach Sylvester Palmer T.

The Schmidt to Schmidt combination clicked like the Air- lift and left the Cowboys bewilder- ed. The first three touchdowns were the result of the Tony to Don com- bination. Only one of the extra goints were good, but the soldiers eld a comfortable 'lead of 19-0 when the second team went in. Sheedy prassed to lfitner for the next tally. ony Schmidt set IB: the fourth score by passing to K. rake in the third quarter. In the final quarter Sheedy hit the mark again when he passed to Sphleicher who went over for the final score. A 'pass to Hime earned tlzleaegcgra pom and the game end- e - . CADETS TAKE PLAINVILLF. An under-rated Plainville team came close to upsetting the highly favored -Cadets on Oct. 13, at P ain- ville. Althought the Cadets scored first -with P1tner's. touchdown Plainville came back in the second quarter with an interception and an 80 yard run to tie ug the score and then go ahead wit the extra point, 7-6. With a little .more respect for their ogponents in the second half, the Ca ets took to the air, and Bpass- es to Don Schmidt and Frank ollxg paved the way for the second mark- er. The extra point was good and theiscore stood 13-7. After holdin? then' opponents on-downs, the so - diers again moved into pay dirt be- hind the blocking of Beecher and Horinek, bringing the score to 20- 7, The Cardinals then took to the air and drove another score across.

TAKE HOMECOMING GAME The Cadetsclimaxed the home- coming activities of thelold grads lily taking their old arch-rivals, ays igh, 1nto camp 12-6. It was a battling pack of soldiers that went onto the field and from the first play of the game, domina- ted the play throughout. On the first play. after the kick- off, Tony Schmidt Sicked up 'a Hays fumble and ran 0 yards for a touchdown. The break took most of the starch out of the Indians. The second tally came after P1tner's 66 ard run put the Cadets on the llays 3. A five yard tpenalty put them back .to the 8 rom which Tony Schmidt went over again for the second touchdown. The rest of the game went score- less up to the last minute, although the Cadets and the Indians both piled ug: first drowns. With one mm- ute lef to play, it looked 'as lf the Cadets had put over ea shutout, but, with only 40 seconds left in the game, Norman Pfeifer got off pn a short pass to score for the Tndlans. The game ended 12-6. HOLD ABILENE 14-14 Playing the last, and probably the best, game of the season, the Cadets held the highly-favored Abilene Cowboys to -a 14-14 t1e. Abilene drew the first blood when Hart, the sipeedy 135 pound back, went over or the flrst tally. The 'Cadets immediately came back in a drive which 'began on their own 20. A pass from Tony' to Don Schmidt put the Cadets on the 8 yard line from where Pitner went over for the score. Both extra-point attempts were good and the quar- ter ended 7-7. Neither team scored in the sec- ond .quarter. On receiving the kick- off in the second half, the Cadets drove relentlessly from their own 10 to the Abilene 5, only to lose the ball on a fumble. On the next lay, Hart threw a story-book pass grom his own end zone while completely surrounded by Cadets, to Huffman who went al the way. Again the extra point was good. l The Cadets then began a despera- tion drive which ended in ay dirt when Lelker went over. Tllle extra pomt was good. K. Brake, end J. Lutz, tackle. J.

Downey's boxers returned from the Golden Gloves tournament with two crowns dangling from their belts. Thomas Younger, Class B lightweight had to fight his team mate, Verlin Staab, in the finals, and thus Staab lost the opportunity to win a crown for himself.

Rifle Team Has A Busy Year The rifle teams were again under the coaching of Sgt. Randall Vaughn. The sport continues to be one of the most popular in the school. There is keen competition among the students for berths on the varsity teams, espe- cially the Hearst and Camp Perry. Among the matches completed at this time were: the Hearst Trophy match, results of which have not as yet been publishedg the Camp Perry Match at Boonville, Mo., in iwhich the team emerged fourth in the high school di- vision, and 24th in the entire competition. The NRA club fired a prone match, ten men shooting, the five highest scores being taken for record. The club won third place in the na- tion, scoring 1881 out of a possible 2000. The club sharpshooters go to Ellis, Ks., on April 1 to fire in the Midwest NRA match. Other local matches and some postal matches will round out the year's activities.

CADETS HAVE MEDIOCRE SEASON Although the se-ason's results are by no means impressive, the Cadets played la- bang-up type of ball game. Coach Al Bi linger, in his first season at St.. Joseph's, had a tremendous Job on his hands 1n trying to mold his charges over to his type of ba l p ay. .That he has suc- ceeded to a arge extent 1S evident by the good showing made aglainst teams which had the ad- vantage in both elght and experience. The boys did not get to play on the new basketball floor until- February 8, when they climaxed the dedication with a win over the Sacred Heart team of Salma. WIN FOUR, LOSE THIRTEEN I The opening game of the season at Ness City augured wel for the te-am's record. Com- ing from behind at the half, 14-10, the soldiers got hot and came out at the long end of the score, 29-28. Plainville was the next victim. With Dave Sheedy dumping, 16 points, and Malone and Schumacher wit 14 each, the Cadets ran over the. Cardinals 71-25. Every man on the team saw action in this game. It was the first home game of the season and left the fans well pleased. SALINA KNIGHTS TAKE FIRST OF THREE Although they! played their best game of the season to ate, t e Cadets could not avert the final 56-53 defeat handed them by the Sacred Heart Kniihtsof Salma. Sheedy was hot with 23 points, ut It was not enough. Victoria pulled the early season surprise by dumping the Cadets 48-38 in the Victoria gym. The Ca ets had figured- to take this one easily, leading all the way until the last- quarter when Victoria opened the Jets and whlazed past the amazed soldiers. Sheedy was again high point man, followed by Don Schmidt. The intra-city tussle with- Hays High saw two cold teams 'Slaying an unmspiring game at the Coliseum. e ln ians led all the way, emerging a 39-21 victor. 3'i'S.'v- ..- , Lei - . .f 's--'nr-1'-.Tf -z . ,53 5-j,1iw.., .1221 5 Fig Ff a, ,. .itat iw -7 i.1h'i..+. fi 'I-3 'f , e1 1' ' ill-5,14-f Gan-Z .

The Norton Blue Jays, the -eventual state champions, showedlthelr superior caliber by downinalthe Cadets in a rather one-sided game, 61-22. olf, all-st-ate forward, scored 21 points for the victors. Osborne made it five in a row for the ill- starred Cadets at Osborne, when the Cadets ended up on the short end of a 48-31 battle. The Cadet high scoring man, Sheedy, was held to 8 points. A powerful Stockton team continued the pattern by defeating the sold1ers on their home court before one of the smallest audiences ever to Witness a game at St. Joseiph's. Since this was the first game of the secon semester, three transfer students, who had been ineligible until then saw their first action on the Ca et squad. Pat Smith, one of the new players, led the scor- ing with 14 points. Stockton .ed at the end of the first quarter, but the soldiers came back in the second and third stanzas to gp ahead, only tgosfimgter in the final period. The mal score was Below, left to right: Art Malone, Pat Smith, Doc Sheedy. M .J l T The Russell Broncos rode roughshod. over a Cadet team which was plagued with injuries 46-22, at Russell. Four regular starters warmed the bench during this game: Bollig,-with -an in- Mlred knee' Bil inger, with a sprained ankleg alone with an lnfected footg Pettit, with a wrenched knee. The victors were never in trou- ble throughout the game. The .Victoria .Knights proved to everyone that their first victory over the Cadet quintet was no fluke by trouncing the soldiers in a M-arch of Dimes benefit game, 45-25. The Cadet team was exceptionally cold, missing' numerous shotspand opportunities to score. he Cadet shooting average hit the season's low during this contest. Whether it was the new floor, or just some of the Coach's applied psychologyhthe Cadet team showed marked improvement in the Ellis game, although they emerged on the shiort end of a 44-38 score. The Cadet's play was nothing of which to be ashamed: they were in there fighting all the way and had it not been for a sudden cooling offiin the third period, they wou'ld have taken this one. FINALLY BREAK INTO WINNING COLUMN The Cadet's play finally improved to the point where they were once again in the win- ning column ,tall taking the Sa ina Knights to the cleaners.. e soldiers were really hustlin in there, taking the rebounds, and in generals? making themse ves obnoxious to the opposition. It was the third win against nine losses. We were happy to see the score: 36-29. .Ellis 'made a clean sweep of their season series with the 'Cadets by taking a 44-38 de- c1sron..The Cadets led most of the way until Ellis finally drove ahead to win the contest. The powerful Ovsborne Bulldogs, coached b Don Red Nichol, defeated the Cadets 47-2? ln. the new gym. Coach Nichol and Cadet Coach Billinier played together four years at Fort Hays tate. Coach ichol had the advantage of a group of tall boys, something Coach Billinier sa ly lacks. The game was a rough and tum le affair with 47 fouls being calle . Q I T 5 'i . 'I 'Q' The Hays High Indians appeared unbeat- able as they romped over the so .diers 52-29 be- fore a large crowd at the Sheridan coliseum. The Cadets battled hard all the way. They were simply meeting three much betteriteams as Coach Leas made frequent changes in the In- dian lineup. SECOND WIN OVER SALINA The fighting Cadets finally achieved a sec- ond win over a team this season by defeat1n7g the Salina Knights on the Academy court, 4 - 42. The Cadets got off to a hot start, outhustled Salina all the wayk constantly stealing the ball and blocking the nights' shots. Brake, who re- cently graduated frorn the B squad turned in a fine performance at center, while Sheedy and Don Schmidt were outstanding at guard. The Cadets took it on the chin again when they met Russell, this time falling efore the taller and surer footed Broncos 64-24 on the academy court. The Cadets Just were not fast enough nor clever enough to overcome the blg Russell height advantagle and Russell kept get- ting nearly all their re Qunds, usually keeping on shooting until they hit. The Cadets closed the regular season at the academy court with the best performance of the entire season against Larned. The.Cadets were never outhustled, but Larned's big. boys took advantage of their height and lt paid off with a 48-41 victory. Below, left to right: Ronald Rupp, Don Schmidt, An- thony Schmidt. i .

IN TOURNAMENT The Cadets showed surprising accuracy from the outside as they broke loose in the sec- ond cgluarter to down Hill Clty 55-29. Pat Smith woul spread out the Hill Clty defense with his long shots, then Don Schmidt and Art Malone would count from below the bucket as the Ca- dets lplayed one of the best games of the year. Coac Billinger substltuted freely, all ten of the squad seeing action, and all but one breaking into the scoring column. The Hays High Indians had a bad night and the 'St. Jose? 's Cadets a good one as the Cadets outscram led and out .battled the In- dians onliv to see the huge height advantage of the In ians play off in a large number of tg:- ins and close s ots to give Hays High a 56- 9 victory in the semi-fma s of the Class A region- al high school basketball tournament before 2,00 ans at the Sheridan coliseum. INTRA-MURAL TOURNAMENT HELD The basketball intramurals were organized on a platoon basis. Teams were paired in a regu- lar bracket. Second platoon of A company nos- ed out the second platoon of B company to win the honors. The games were played off on both the new and old floors. Competition was keen throughout since the winners of the various intra-mural events are given points which are accumulated until the end of the school year when the company with the highest number of points is declared the intra-mural champion for the year. 1, . ew rig I ll i ' iiiiifi , fr: i i i-,if ziftfiifag 1' f 4 ' Q 'i ,Q- i T L' :O i 1' -Wist a r -- mg.

The team showed such mar ed improve- ment 'as the season went along that several members were moved up to the A sfihuad, at first to substitute for injured players, and then inally to become perman- ent members of the varsity.

QCPQCL fL0l'l Cen fel' il .ii 1 'N 4 rp ' ' Bishop Thlll Blesses New Building Bishop Frank A. Thill, D. D., Bishop of the diocese of Salina, formally dedicated the new Recreation Center, thusculminating a project which had been envisioned these .many years. The larger student body and the in- adequacy of the recreational facilities of the school made it imperative that some further addition be made to St. Joseph's. Permission was finally granted by the Capuchin superiors and work was begun almost immediately. The architectural firm of Shaughnessy and Bower of 'Kansas City prepared the plans. Groundbreaking took place Oct. 25, 1949 in the presence of several faculty members. Work was pushed ahead as fast as the weather and lalbor conditions would permit. The foundations were completed before the win- ter. The following Spring the superstructure gradually took shape and it was hoped that the building would be ready for occupancy by September. Lack of this and that important material and shortage of skilled laborers slowed down the building operation to such an extent that the building could not be used until February of 1951. The dedication took place on February 8. Due to the shortage of funds, much work was done on the interior by the students and faculty. The finishing of the basketball floor, walls and 'bleachers was done by students and faculty. The painting in the athletic depart- ment, in the musicdepartment, and in the recreation and canteen areas was all done by faculty and. students. The basketball goals were also home-made, effecting a saving of several thousand dollars. Above: The new St. Joseph's Recreation Center seen from the -South.

Also note the basketball goals, of which there are six. One goal is shown in playing position, the others in the retracted position. The hall seats 1500 spectators comfortably. The floor is a regular college size playing area.

A new policy was put into force this year in the music department with regard to the student's prac- ticing his instrument. In previous years, this responsibility rested com- pletely on the student. Instead, this year, supervised ensemble .and sec- tional work was done daily, under the direction of the teachers them- selves. There were about six 'active en- sembles among the students of mu- sic, four, of Cadets, and the other two of outside students. The flute udic i n rn ,.

Q l The largest organization is the concert band, cons1st1ng of over sixty selected members from the Cadet b1a.ttal1on, Girls' Catholic High and the Jeffer- son grade school. They will climax their year's work A Q G: 9 - with the annual Spring concert. The militarfy band is composed exclusively of Cadets and per orms at all parades and mllxtary functions at the school. The dance bfaind.was organ- ized by Mr. Gatschet in response to the insistent de- mands of some of the ban members. Their ,goal is to play at the schoo1's social functions, especially at the military ball.

Important as hi-s academic and social obligations may be, the Cadet is constantly impressed with the gravity of his religious obligations. And this is the prime rea- son for the 'Catholic school. Daily Mass and frequent reception of the Sac- raments, prescribed thrice-weekly religious instruc- tion are part of the daily life of the student. Such daily contact with religion makes it a part of the student's life rather than something which is to be donned once a week like a Sunday suit. The annual three-day retreat is held shortly before the Easter vacation, and all members of the Corps are obliged to attend. In the scene above, taken on the occasion of the visit of the Pilgrim Virgin of Fatima, four Cadets were highly privileged to carry the image in solemn procession. The crowd in attendance was too large to be accommodated in the parish church, so the services were held in the Jefferson School auditor- ium.

The decorating committee went all out in decorating the function room for the occasion. The formal dance beganat 8:30 with the traditional grand imarch, led by the football ?1ayers. The muslc, furnished by the Freddy oe Orchestra, was declared to be out of this World by everyone present. Lay members of the faculty and their wives acted as chaperones. Mixers and date dances were also held at various times during the year, the music being furnished by a Juke box. Coach and Mrs. Billinger, chaperones, watch the festivities at the Gridiron Ball.

To facilitate and divide the work, the class was di- vided into two staffs, one for each publication. Harold James was chosen editor of the newspaper, Thomas Petit, editor of the annual. Charles Ship- ley, although not a member of the class, volunteered his assistance in gathering ads for both publications. The newspaper, the Cadet Journ- al, was published eight times dur- ing the year, about the 20th of the month. , Copy for the yearbook had to be at the publishers in three sections, November 1, January 5, and April 1.
