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 ...... . .

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.

SENICRS State Champions in Football The 1948 football campvaign will long be re- membered at St. Joseph's for it was the first time we had achieved the state championship. 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. Three games to our credit that year, but we got a trophy! HAROLD JAMES ........... Carlsbad, N. Mex. Journal: Yearbook, Flag Detail: Decorating: Glee Club: Crack Platoon. RICHARD KLUGE ..............
