Timothy and 'Mr. Tom Gatschet to make this year an outstanding one in the music department. Three active-bands, the glee club, and.the various ensembles give evidence of great activity. Q l The largest organization is the concert band, cons1st1ng of over sixty selected members from the Cadet b1a.ttal1on, Girls' Catholic High and the Jeffer- son grade school. They will climax their year's work A Q G: 9 - with the annual Spring concert. The militarfy band is composed exclusively of Cadets and per orms at all parades and mllxtary functions at the school. The dance bfaind.was organ- ized by Mr. Gatschet in response to the insistent de- mands of some of the ban members. Their ,goal is to play at the schoo1's social functions, especially at the military ball. These three bands are the culmina- tion of many years of hfard work on the part of the musical directors. .il THE CONCERT BAND-l to r: Mary Ann Beilman, Patty Staab, ,Carol Kinderknecht, Irma Fross, Rita Fross, Carol Schueler, Julianne Wiesner, Mary Anne Roth.

RELIGIGUS The student at St. Joseph's is constantly re- minded that his first duly is towards God. Important as hi-s academic and social obligations may be, the Cadet is constantly impressed with the gravity of his religious obligations. And this is the prime rea- son for the 'Catholic school. Daily Mass and frequent reception of the Sac- raments, prescribed thrice-weekly religious instruc- tion are part of the daily life of the student. Such daily contact with religion makes it a part of the student's life rather than something which is to be donned once a week like a Sunday suit. The annual three-day retreat is held shortly before the Easter vacation, and all members of the Corps are obliged to attend. In the scene above, taken on the occasion of the visit of the Pilgrim Virgin of Fatima, four Cadets were highly privileged to carry the image in solemn procession. The crowd in attendance was too large to be accommodated in the parish church, so the services were held in the Jefferson School auditor- ium. Photo courtesy Foster Studio
