S NIOR lltt res Athletic Record Fair The football team came through one of the toughest schedules in the history of the school with four victories out of seven starts. We lost to Hutchinson, Lawrence, fout to avenge the previous year's defetl, and our old nemesis, Hays High. 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. The record again is not indicative of the spirit of those who, like true sports, play- ed their all down to the last Whistle. NORMAN C. RUDER . . . . . Hays Ks. . Crack Platoon: Glee Club.

The faculty had an increase of two members which helped relieve the pressure in several departments, The De- partment of the Army raised St. J o'seph's tp the status of a military Institute, thus permittlng the school to give both the Junior and semor R.O.T.'C. courses.

New Prefect Added to Staff n The administration received la. new member ln the person of Fr. 'Canice to whom was as- signed the -positions of l1brar1an and assistant Erefect. With the student-body divided often etween the two buildings, it was thought best to have a prefectjn each building, especially at free times, for, hlce the proverbial 'when the cat's 'away the mice will play, boys- will tend to run wi d when not under supervision.
