SENIURS Sophomore Year We had now advanced .a grade to sopho- more and we wondered what the Hear had in store for us. At the first assembly, t e new boys were introduced from the stage, and we won- dered whether We looked -as green as those new greishmen when We arrived. Well, we probably 1 . Colonel Knight. passed out a few ranks in our direction, but it was the old men who got all. the brass. When the officers had been ap- pointed, they found, to their surprise, that their uniforms were to be no different this year than any other Cad.et'sg gone were the pinks and greens, in thelrlplace the only distinguishing mark of the officers was to be their badge of rank. The bulletin boards were immediately tfilled with notices of sales on used officers' uni- orms. New Faculty Members There were two new faculty members this year, Father Anselm and Capt..Schmal.

or IVAN GOTTSCHALK HARLAND GRABBE SENICRS Excitement During Retreat The annual retreat is supposed to be a time of quiet and reflection, but this year's proved to bring with it a lot of excitement. 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.

L Q , l SENIORS Drive Again for Honor School We all received a white star for our sleeves, the mark of an honor school. The annual strug- gle to pass the honor inspection was again upon us. We worked doubly hard because we want- ed to keep the rating by all means. When the inspecting officers came, they found us keyed for the inspection. We had to wait till gradua- tion to hear the final results: we made it! Choral Passion Play a. 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. Father Timothy and Sister Milberga directed the production 5 Father Paulinus was in charge of the stage -and lighting effects. CLETUS W. KLAUS . . . . . . McCracken, Ks. MELVIN LEIKER ...... . .
