S IORS Juniors Begin to Make the Grade When September rolled around we found that we were finally in line for ua few commis- sions and promotions, with a little say-so in the corps. 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.

JOHN LENSKI CHARLES McINTOSI-I S NIORS Improvements Made on the Grounds There were quite a few improvements around the place that year. New lights had been installed in the locker rooms, drinking foun- tains had sprung up on the drill field and tennis courts, the handball courts were finally com- pleted. At first, few were interested in hand- ball, for it was something new. The tennis team began to use the courts for pralcticeg then sev- eral of the faculty began to play and the inter- est of the 'Cadets wias finally aroused. Now it is one of the more popular sports. Tennis was organized as an intramural sport and 'an elim- ination contest was held just before the close of the second term. And we were looking forward to becoming juniors.

ELM ER -RICHMEIER KENNETH SCHMEIDLER HEARN RUDER SENIORS Col. Downey, the New P.M.S. Q T. Col. Arthur Downey replaced Col. Kngght as P.M.S. 8z T. Col. Knight had been trans .er- red to Greece. We like the new Colonel im- mediately and subsequent events proved we were correct in our hunch. Father Richard returned to St. Joseph's after spending a year. as Vprofessor at the new St. Francis Seminary in lctoria. Mr. James Conrad was added to the English department as instructor in English and de ate coach. The debate team did very well in view of the fact that debating was something rather new. Mr. Thomas Gatschet came to assist in the music department. I-Ie IS the son of Mr. George Gfatschet, instructor in commerce. Boxing Takes the Limelight Col. Downey organized the boxing team and ended the season with seven state champions. While the sport had been somewhat popu ar at the school in the -past, this year, under he Col- one1's fine coaching, the team really went places.. Bob Fluker was rated so highly that it was difficult to get matches for him. At the state f11'l31S'11'1 Pratt, the team covered itself with glory in taking seven first places. ELMER RICHMEIER . . . .
