SE ICR qluarters in the Recreation Center. 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.

Q Fm . 4 r i-A ANTHONY SCHMIDT vagal' 5 RICHARD SMOLCZYK S NIURS We Become Seniors At Last The school year of 1950-51 was one of many new interests and changes. 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. D The Junior College showed a marked 1n- crease in enrollment as a direct result of the change of military status. 'The new Recreation Center was completed-the fulfillment of a dream of many years' standing. Several new states were represented. The student-body was now -a good cross section of the countryg students enrolled from states bor- dering on the Atlantlc and the Pacific, the Can- adian and the Mexican borders, 19 states in 'all. 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.

SENIGRS Good Gridiron Season The football team had a better-than expect- ed year, with 6 wins, one tie, and one loss. 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. One innovation this year wlas the new uni- forms for the Military Science students: a shade of green similar to the regular Army officers' uniform. When the unit had been outfitted, they ROBERT TOEPFER presented a striking and very neat appearance. ROBERT TOEPFER ............... Hays, Ks. Crack Platoon: Glee Club: Yearbook: Journal: Football.
