Back To School Dock to School 3 fter the summer vocation we thought would never get here; we couldn ' t wait to return to our campus home and life style. Cars, vans, trucks and u-houls lined the streets on Saturday morning, os upperclassmen were running off to see who else wos bock in campus. Freshmen and transfer students hod a chance to orient themselves for o few days before the onslaught, and soon found themselves pulled in to the excitement of college life. Arranging one ' s space was the first order of business — laying carpets, hoisting couches, tacking posters. But that August heat soon drew us to the beach at Lake Bonet, the bockroods by the river, or the nearest fon with o few friends to reminisce the adventures of summer. Activities were planned by the Student Association ond HSUB, to get people acquainted, and the campus was generally known os the country club. The field between Noll and Gallagher Halls was the scene of many football, frisbee and softball gomes. All too soon that energy was directed to the process of buying books, locating dosses, and taking notes from new professors. The Cubs were in first, the weather was awesome and we held on with only the best. We partied, dealt with the difficulties of school, and long winter months. We maybe even grew up a little, but in the meantime we turned up the tunes, danced and celebrated our good times at Saint Joseph ' s College. The reflecting pond or SJC is o port of our community thot is enjoyoble to everyone throughout oil seosons of the yeor. Freshmen, Jim Mathews and John Obbogy rop with Father Froelich in the lounge of Dennett Hall. This is on example of showing o personal touch. Many students followed their fellow pumas to football gomes wherever they ployed. To display their spirit for their team, they rood-tripped to places os for os Georgetown College in Kentucky to watch. 4 A Personal Touch he life we have at Saint Joe ' s is something special. Our particular school is unique for the fact that each of us is an integral part of it. The figures and faces in these pictures are not simply fellow students, they are people with whom we have had close and exclusive contact. They are people who we know; only a few perhaps as true friends, but all are recognizable at least as a face we have seen time and time again. For those of us who have been involved in various activities at St. Joe ' s, almost all of the images in this book may be immediately identifiable, even as to the exact time, place, and circumstances of their occurrence. Others may have had a smaller sphere on our campus, but these areas as well are represented. Even if, for reasons of your own, you have shrunk from playing a part in this community, you are still here. There have probably been times for all of us when the small scale of our world at Sr. Joe ' s seemed stifling. Yet our school can always provide a window to larger horizons, a ladder to higher places, on a place where we can train to expand ourselves. Classes at St. Joe ' s are challenging. They can also be, as we all know, quite intimate. In our classes we have The girls from Halos Hall hove always displayed their togetherness as they do now, cheering on their classmates and roommates at on air guitar contest. stimulated each other in learning, and perhaps, discovered friendships of a new kind during the course of desperate study sessions. Academics have been the central goal we have strived for together but there are numerous other opportunities for learning and growth at St. Joe ' s. For our physical maintenance and improvement there is Raleigh Hall, the courts and fields which hold our intramural games, as well as the varsity sports in which so many of us have competed. Here again, we have grown closer displaying and admiring athletic desire and ability. Special hobby clubs, student government and many other organizations and projects have allowed us to work on still other areas. In short, St. Joe ' s can only have been as small as we, as individuals, at times have made it. All of the above can be disputed, as each of us has had different goals, aspirations, and reasons for being and staying at St. Joe ' s. Rut there is a simple area of immense importance to all of us. This area is that of our rime here as one of personal growth in contact with a select group of people. To say that we are a select group is not exactly to say that we are superior. However, it is to say that people we know here, who are seen within these pages, have become so to ourselves. This is the Personal Touch of Saint Joseph ' s College.

Major changes were made, problems confronted and solved, and educational programs as well os entertainment were provided. The biggest accomplishment during the year was the change in governmental structure. The Student Association absorbed Halleck Student Union Board in order to provide more quality, services to the students. The Student Association was divided into two sections; the Student Government and the Student Union Board. This enabled the Student Government to concentrate on governmental policies while Student Union Board was in charge of all social activities and programming. The work was divided into smaller divisions and done by more people. This new structure was more up to date, organized and efficient and will be beneficial to the students. The Student Association provided more diverse programming than before. In September a congressional debate was held, between Dr. Allen Maxwell and Ellis Bud Hillis. A lecture was given by Mr. James Schaffer on how to get o job. A panel discussion was held on Alcohol, the Low, and Public Policy. A group of Freshman Mary Bosch watches Tom Flynn, sophomore, gamble his life away or the Business club table. John Frieberger, sophomore, and freshman Tom Steigmeyer readily await to take Flynn ' s money. students attended a convertion about BACCHUS, to learn about responsible drinking. 1984-85 was on entertaining year, os well as an educational one. A wide variety of bonds were brought in for mixers including Kool Boy and the Polaroidz, Big Twist ond the Mellow Fellows, Amusement Pork Stutz, the Late Show ond many more. Several events were co-sponsored with Halleck Student Union Board such os a Pig Boast, Halloween Party comedians, folk singers such os Boy Fogg and on Irish Bond. Movies were brought bock to the auditorium. They were the first run movies and a small admission fee was used to supplement the revenue of the S.A. Some problems were faced os well. There were many difficulties with the S.A. ' s satellite dish which brings us cable television and movie channels. The students did survive for three weeks without T.V. and hopefully that will never happen again. In the fall semester many students were unhappy with certain aspects of life at St. Joe. A forum was held for trustees and administrators to hear the students discuss campus facilities, inconsistency in academics, and the alcohol policy. The S.A. used this opportunity to try to improve communications between the students, the administration, and the trustees. The Student Association accomplished many goals and hopefully the successful programs will be continued in the future.

It all began weeks before, when clubs, organizations, alumni, and just about oil St. Joe ' s students become involved one way or another in the 1904 Homecoming. The festivities began Friday night, when olumni and friends gathered with St. Joe students for the mixer and parties throughout the campus. Early Saturday morning, Rensselaer and SJC residents lined the sidewalks downtown as the bands, police and fire engines, along with crepe paper filled convertibles and floats slowly moved along the parade route. The highlight of the parade wos Senior class president, Sue Plomin, running along the senior float and screaming cheers to get the crowd psyched for the game. The senior class float also went over well with the theme Dogbusters as the puma football players were getting ready to face the Butler Bulldogs. At halftime, the homecoming court of Lino Chesak, Jackie Schweder, Lynne Chesek, Karen Clausen and Carol Helvig stepped onto the field, anxiously waiting for the winner to be announced. Senior Jackie Schweder was the winner and was crowned by Diane Szucs. In on awesome attempt to win over the Bulldogs, the Pumas were defeated. But even so, it didn ' t dampen the spirits of the Pumas. After resting a bit, people from the SJC community dressed up and got ready to hit the dancefloor with the Amusement Pork Band. At midnight, when the bond stopped ploying, students flocked to their favorite dorms to find parties and dance all night long. As the night of excitement drew to o close, students began to disperse from their parties and retire to their dorms for the rest of the evening; or for some, the early morning.

Homecoming ' 84 Homecoming 11 I E very year at Sainr Joseph ' s College, students and faculty celebrate a special weekend, that is set aside just for parents and family. Parents Weekend, in October, 1984, was a time for parents to spend with their children. According to freshman, Linda Knick, My parents were impressed with my new friends and new way of life. Special events and activities were planned to give students and parents a chance to socialize with everyone. The day started off when the fighting Pumas went up against Franklin College, while devoted fans with umbrellas didn ' t let the gloomy day dampen their spirits. Many students pitched in to have small get togethers in their rooms and provided with food and drinks. In some dorms, such as Gallagher, the whole dorm had one big party in the lounge to socialize with everyone. If nothing else was happening, people went to Halleck Center to visit the faculty and Alumni. When dinner time came around, students and their parents opted whether to eat in the 5JC cafeteria or in one of the restaurants in the area. For the parents who stayed for the entire evening, the Student Association had a mixer planned with a swing band. Even though it wasn ' t the type of band that most students were familiar with, students, parents, faculty and many others danced for hours. Afterwards, when the band stopped playing, some departed, while others continued to party at Core XI and make the most of every minute with family and friends. Senior, Kevin Fleck and Trocy Massey show parents how to donee of the mixer on Saturday night, that wos sponsored by the Student Association. Many freshmen gather in a Justin room to socialize and get acquainted with other parents and each other. 12 Parents Weekend Chatting with dads about many such things is exactly what sophomore, Kitty Cibula is doing, emphasizing on with her dad and a friend. Music of the 1920 ' s and 1930’s was a change of pace, compared to the mixers in the past. The McCarthy family stops to snap a shot to capture this festive day. Many parents enjoyed the beer and brat tent to socialize with many other parents, students and faculty members. I n the middle of January, when the wind is blowing throughout campus, ond it looks as if the school itself is closed down, in hibernation, people of the 5JC community hove found their own ways to moke the best of the winter months that seem to last forever. When the winter doldrums set in, and studying gets o bit monotonous, our small community begins to find things to do. For example, cross¬ country skiing has become more popular this post year, than it ever has. One could ski along the route to Lake Doner, to find many students gathered on stools, ice fishing. For another change of pace, Saturday afternoons were good times for a game of softball or football in the snow. The guys from Bennett Hall waited for one of the coldest days of the year to hove on all dorm football game with the upperclassmen v.s. freshmen. When the weather was sub-zero, os it was on Superbowl Sunday, students would be gathered around their favorite lounging or partying spot, with o bowl of chili in one hand and some type of beverage in the other. Gallagher Holl wos o very popular place for people on that particular day. The Christmas season was really in tune around pumaville in 1984. Almost every dorm had their annual Christmas party or donee, os was the Justin Halas Christmas dance, which was the major event of the Christmas season. Bottling the winter months seemed pretty tough for some, but for others, it wos the most fun of the year. Dr. Nichols stops for o moment to char with o student about o homework assignment. 14 Winter . I . 4 Superbowl Sunday was a time for chili and o color T.V., os it was for senior, Scott Steward. Christmas is o time for shoring ond coring for everyone. Senior, Jim Schreiber hands a present to o hoppy little girl. The snow ond bitter cold didn ' t stop many students from making their way to the cafeteria in the winter months. Seniors disploy their holiday spirit or o post New Year ' s Eve party, which wos spon¬ sored by the senior class. Accounting Finance The Accounring-Finance Club is sponsored by Mr. Broussard. The purpose of rhe club is ro broaden rhe members Knowledge of rhe profession and related fields. The club does this through guest speakers and special club functions throughout rhe year. The club officers ore elected by club members during rhe second semester for the following year. These officers ore in charge of encouraging members ro participate in all facets of campus sponsored activities. In September, rhe club in cooperation with the Computer Club, held their annual fall picnic or Lake Boner. It was attended by more than seventy people and everyone had a good time despite the cold rainy day. In October, rhe club participated in Homecoming activities by entering a float. Unfortunately, rhe club did nor win first-place in rhe float division. Furthermore, the club took port in Monte Carlo activities and held a Christmas party which was highlighted by a singing duet of Mr. Broussard and Mr. Kasky doing their rendition of Way Down. During the second semester, rhe club held their annual banquet. Presentation of both Awards and gag awards were given out. Both students and professors hod their chance to be recognized. Throughout the year, rhe Club sponsored rhe weekly Accounting Study Seminar. The seminar wos held every Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The seminar was always well attended and seemed ro help all those involved. The year closed out with elections and promises of on even better year, next year.

Formerly the Biology Club, the name was changed so as not to make the club appear so exclusive. Any student, regardless of major, was invited to be a part of the club and participate in the activities offered. The Science Club engaged in many activities this past year in addition to bi-monthly meetings. Some of the activities were a get-acquainted picnic in the early fall, many various fund raisers, different documentary type movies, and participation in the annual Monte Carlo event. Other activities furthering the interests of science were also engaged in. Science club held elections at the end of the first semester and the transition came smoothly. The officers for the first semester were Jordan Balvich, President; Kathy Alter, Vice President; Christopher Nagy, Treasurer; and Anne Devor, Secretary. Following the election the new officers elected were Christopher Nagy, President; Ronald Seth, Vice President; Brian Morton, Treasurer; and Anne Devor, Secretary. The new officers began work and continued to promote interest in the club. Fund raisers were continued and partcipation in the Spring Fling was a major one. Activities during the second semester were a speaker, continuation of film showings, a tutorial service for Biology and Chemistry, and a trip to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. The second semester was as successful as the first and the Science Club will continue to function as an organization to further the interest of science at St. Joseph ' s.

The senate is a representative body of students of the larger community of students of Saint Joe ' s. Senate met on a bi-weekly basis to discuss current topics of interest of the student body os a whole. Some of these topics were how to deal with the T.V. coble situation ond the satellite dish, revamping HSUD into the SUB (working more in conjunction with S.A.) which also entailed amending the constitution. Student Senate ' s responsibilities were also to carry information boc k to the dorms for dispersement among the student body. The function of this group is to be on outreach between S.A. and the student body. Business Club The Business Club, the largest club on campus, is an organization that provides extra educational and social opportunities for its members. Each year, the club provides a variety of services to the students or Sr. Joseph ' s. A desk blotter is distributed to each student which provides them with the athletic schedules of the basketball ond football reams, os well os coupons to be redeemed at local businesses. The birthday coke service allows the parents to order personal ized cokes to be delivered to their sons or daughters on their birthdays or on special occasions. The exam survival kit service is performed bi-annually, and also offers the parents o chance to let their student know he she is thought of by sending him or her a prepared bog of food to get them through the exhaustive week. In addition, the club also co-sponsors on annual Career Fair with the Placement Office which brings companies on campus and gives students on opportunity to interview with them. Social events include the annual pig roost which occurs in the foil and allows the club members to meet each other. The building of a Homecoming Float is also a fall event, ond the Business Club has won best floor for numerous years. This year, the Business Club also entered o cart in the Little 500 race. A ski trip was undertaken to Swiss Volley. It wos on exciting day with, thankfully, no major injuries. The club has also sponsored a few pizza parties to get the members together and discuss future activities. The Business Club devotes much of its time to scheduling guest speakers, and organizing trips to companies in order to keep its members informed of current business proctices and to initiate them into the business world. This year, the club has sponsored guest speakers from Quasar, and United Telephone, ond hove token trips to Stone 6 Adler, Inc., Joy ' s Foods, Inc., Bethlehem Steel, ond Signature Financial Markefing.

Its main objectives ore to provide activities which will be of value to future teachers, and hove fun while doing it. The Education club hos been involved in several functions this past year. Some of our activities hove included the annual Pumoville Ploy school, a service for alumni ' s children returning for homecoming. Other ventures ore: o Halloween wiener roost and hoyride, booths for both Monte Carlo and the Spring Fling. We also hod a guest speaker on education systems in general and educating the mentally handicapped. One of our most involved octivities were the mock interviews. We arranged for nine school principals to come to SJC and do individual interviews with education students. This gave the students a chance to experience o one-on-one interview and practice. We intend to wrap up the year with o final banquet for oil the members. • � r I Senior Mark Dorgetti and Junior Mary Lonz collaborate on yet another major computer project.

This new approach involved a reorganization of the existing program. Activities in seven different areas attracted more than sixty volunteers to the Campus Ministry program. Each program area was headed by a student chairperson who worked in coordination with the Director, Fr. Dob Matichek. Volunteers in Music Ministry planned and provided music for weekend masses throughout the year. Others planned two all¬ campus retreats for the campus community. Over thirty-five people went to each one and both were thoroughly enjoyed by oil participants. In addition to these programs, members of the Campus Ministry team also participated in two Indiana Organization of Campus Ministries (IOCM) Ecumenical Retreats in Indianapolis, and enjoyed a Christmas Caroling party at Dr. and Mrs. Chesak ' s home in town. The year was a complete success, and an enjoyment to all. Father Matichek preaches his homily at the Campus Ministry retreat. Members of the Campus Ministry Staff at¬ tended the IOCM retreat in Indy.

The club is academically and service oriented — service in that it provides clowns for several activiities both on and off campus. The club also provides skits and actors for several Core program lectures. Besides the service given outside of the actual theatre, the club members make up the bulk of actors, technicians and house people for the theatre productions put on here at SJC. During the past theatre season four shows were done for the campus. Three out of the four shows were adult comedy — Bedroom Force , Dr. Hero, and Vanities. The fourth was just plain fun, Neil Simon ' s, Fools. The Columbian Players as well as the theatre is always looking for new talent and new members.

This is one woy to see the county in a different fashion than most would see it. The Bicycle Club takes tours both in and out of this county. The club also tries to vary its tour lengths so that both the athletic and purely recreational rider will be challenged ond pleased. For the 1984-85 school year the Bicycle Club activities con be separated into three different categories. First, a continuation of local ride with o possibility of expansion if interest provides. Second, a weekend trip to scenic Parke county, and finally the inclusion of winter activities. Examples of this include hiking and the possibility of cross-country skiing. The Bike Club experienced an eventful year. Members of the Art Club include: Elizabeth Echevarria, Sue Droscoe, Denise McCarthy, Lien Malia.

Art Club ' s service activities were to help design themes and help decorate for several dances throughout the year. We also loaned out posters to students and faculty members while working close with the Fine Arts people. The most unique activity we did was to have a T-shirt work shop. This activity consisted of designing o personalized pointed shirt, socks, or sweatshirts. We also hod o bus trip to visit the Chicago Art Institute. In our spore time to get away from campus life for a while we would go to Bonnie Zimmer ' s house and enjoy chili and spaghetti dinners. Through these activities we were able to enjoy our club while allowing others to get involved.

Therefore, some of the club ' s activities upheld a sense of tradition. Among such activities were performances os well as participation in campus events. Traditional performances included singing or several weekend masses in the Chapel, a seasonal Christmas performance, and a Lenten Service for a local community church. Involvement in campus events consisted of participation in Monte Carlo and rhe newly formed Spring Fling. The SJC Chorus also kept up tradition with their two fundraising activities. During the first semester, as Winter and finals set in, the Chorus sold candy bars. The second semester brought with it notions of Little 500. Along with this come our annual t-shirt sole. Proceeds from both fund-raisers went toward financing what hos also become o tradition — the end-of-rhe- year excursion to Beef ' N ' Boards Dinner Theater.

Gallagher Charitable Society Gallagher Charitable Society was established three years ago and in this short span of time, this organization has gained an outstanding reputation on both rhe campus and in the surrounding communities. The members of the club consist mainly of residents of Gallagher Hall. Each year the club sponsors a variety of fund-raisers. This year, the annual Softball Marathon was held in September to help raise money for the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon. Also, cafeteria numbers were collected and between the two events, roughly $800.00 was raised for the cause. In December, The Charitable Society also had its annual Christmas Party (Operation Christmas Basket) for rhe needy families in rhe surrounding communities. The Hockey Marathon was also held to help raise money for rhe cause. Although rhe marathon didn ' t last 12 hours as hoped, the event allowed rhe intramural hockey teams to get their line-ups established and get a few scrimmage games in before the season opened. Through donations of money, cafeteria numbers, and presents over $ 1000.00 was raised to help make the party possible. A nearby grocery store, Wilco, provided chicken dinners for rhe guests and afterwards everyone lined up to receive their present from Santa Claus. The organization also sponsored a Christmas party in the Ballroom for rhe campus. The music and especially the punch were both festive and rhe party was marked a success. We, rhe members and officers of the Charitable Society would like to thank everyone who has helped make these events possible and hope that in rhe future will continue to support our organization.

Dob Kinsella stated, STUFF is entirely a group effort. Dy working as a group, through good times and bod, we were able to inform and entertain the SJC Community. We confronted main issues that needed probing, but did not get involved with petty power-plays and thus retained our objectivity. Below: Don Hoyng frocks down some information from Brother Ed Hobrowski. Right: A few lost details ore obtained over the phone by Dob Kinsella to odd the finishino touches to o story. There is never a life without sadness, There is never a heart free from pain: If one seeks in this world for true solace. He seeks it forever in vain. So when to your heart comes the sorrow Of losing some dear one you ' ve known Tis the touch of God ' s sickle at harvest Since He reaps in the fields He has sown. In Memoriam Gregory E. Kulavik f : .

This assertion becomes clear to oil who experience the living environment which is uniquely Soint Joseph ' s College. Two people of the college ' ' died during the 1984- 1985 academic year. Dr. William L. Downard and Fr. Raphael H. Gross, C.PP.S. ore remembered for the distinguished service each provided to the college community. Each of these men mode a difference and a Difference! doing so provided continuing evidence of the quality of the people laboring on behalf of students at Soint Joseph ' s College. The college community was reminded by Father President Charles Banet. C.PP.S., thus os each of us accomplishes the good works of our lives we must always remember that we walk in the light of those who labored so diligently before us. Father Raphael Gross former president of the college, died on Wednesday, January 30, 1985. Father Gross served os president from 1951-1965 and his tenure encompassed a period of significant growth and change. Major building projects were completed resulting in the addition of four dormitories Noll, Bennett, Gallagher and Holos. Perhaps the most celebrated addition wos the Charles Holleck Student Union Center completed in 1963. The cornerstone of this building wos laid with former Congressman Charles Holleck ond former president Dwight Eisenhower in attendance. Coupled with this physical growth Father Gross ' presidency hallmarked the college s expansion of its academic offerings ond student population. The number of deportments and majors grew os the student population went from 500 to 1,341. During this time the composition of the faculty changed from predominantly clerical in 1951 to predmoninantly lay by 1965. After leaving the presidency, Father Gross continued to serve the college community by directing the Saint Joseph ' s Fellows Program founded in 1962. Throughout his adult life. Father Gross devoted oil of his efforts to the betterment ond enhancement of Saint Joseph ' s College. He wos o man of dedication ond intellect who truly believed in the value of o Saint Joseph ' s College education. 38 Dedication The excitement surrounding the search and appointment of a new Vice President for Academic Affairs climaxed with the Presidential announcement at the commencement ceremonies of April 29, 1984, that Dr. William Downard was to be the Vice President for Academic Affairs effective July 1, 1984. The community received the news with great hope and admiration for the man who had served the institution in so many teaching and administrative positions since his appointment to the faculty in 1969. His tenure as the Vice President for Academic Affairs lasted a short 48 days. He died following heart surgery at Chicago ' s Presbyterian St. Luke Hospital on August 17, 1984. Yet, these days were filled with orchestrating the dreams whcih became goals for the academic area under this dynamic young administrator. He lead a delegation to □ conference dealing with the challenged of retaining students at SJC at a higher level and developed detailed Dlans for faculty workshop on the subject. A reception for lew students was held on August 5 and Dr. Downard was n attendance. Faculty staffing for the new year was accomplished as well as committee appointments and special study group memberships. Dr. Downard ' s summer schedule would have been grueling for on individual who was in full health; for Dill Downard it was a matter of discipline and organization and a loving concern for people. Dr. Downard was a family man. He and his wife, Sue, had four children: Becky, now a student a Saint Joseph ' s College, David, a sophomore at Hanover College, Mary Beth, a high school junior, and Stephen, a freshman. Bill was a caring husband and father, and yet his home was always open to his students, colleagues, fellow alumni of Saint Joseph ' s College, and friends in the Rensselaer Community. A close friend of Dr. Downard commented that it was this openness to all people, this warm friendship, that contributed most to his success of a teacher, colleague, and administrator. This kind of openness and friendship was o gift to the college from Dr. Downard and all his family. His former students remembered him as a demanding teacher but excellent motivator. He was a scholar who relished the opportunity for further education such os that provided him by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. He shared his love of learning with his students and colleagues by bringing many guest lecturers to campus. Dr. Downard has left a great legacy to Saint Joseph ' s College: the plans for his new administration, his warmth, his sense of friendship and concern, his deep family life, his love of teaching and scholarship. His legacy is a challenge to all of us to look to the future with optimism, concern for each other, and to achieve all that we can by setting even higher standards. He will be missed.

During the interim months teams participate in volleyball, basketball, floor hockey and water polo to name a few. 66 I.M. ' s Throughout the academic year approximately 10 different Intramural team sports are organized and managed by student staff aided by the I.M. Director. In April of each year the successful female and male reams overall are announced and their dorm name is added to the Richard F. Scharf Intramural trophy located in Halleck Center.

A Time of Getting It Together For many seniors ir is hard to believe that four years have passed by so quickly. The overage senior spent three years and eight Cores just to arrive or the final three Cores. (The final destination Core XI) On this journey the class of 1985 grew in friendship and strength. The seniors of 1985 will be remembered in Saint Joseph ' s College history os perhaps one of the most dedicated and hard working that SJC has ever known. The S.A. government was headed by Ann O ' Hara, who also was selected os senior of the year. However, there were at least forty other seniors who displayed leadership ond responsibility on o daily basis. Senior year seems a journey that is unique from that of the previous three years. The task of job finding, spouse finding and making bucks is at the forefront of almost all seniors ' thoughts. In order to keep this all in perspective and provide a support group for each other the senior doss sponsors many events throughout the year. A party for the freshmen in the fall at Lake Banet, various celebrations in Core XI, a New Year ' s Eve party to start second semester, eighty-six days to graduation party, senior brunch. Saint Patrick ' s Day party, rejection letter burning, and various other events to help one survive the senior year blues. It is hard to describe any given area that separates a Saint Joseph ' s College Senior from a Senior elsewhere, except that a senior at Saint Joseph ' s College has been given a chance to grow academically and individually. With a student enrollment of 900 students there is plenty to offer each ond every student. Although each senior hos followed a different path to graduation each senior will graduate and continue the tradition of being some of the most hospitable alumni in the country. Seniors at Saint Joseph ' s College have all shared many common experiences: Clearing cobwebs out of the P.O. Box, Moodys Light, Bill Maniscalco ' s venging peacebonds, trips thru Seifert, standing in line for SHEPARDS PIE, Wahls for a drink, Mixers, golf on the executive course, copying a Core paper, laughing off rejection letters, Ma Rafferty ' s demise, Big Chill Soundtrack at Core XI, Frank Slaby, putting up with all those Cub fans, Merlini Beach Party, Lake Banet, Dr. Nichols Core lecture, W.P.U.M. newsbreaks, skipping Core lectures, late night rap sessions with friends, beer and brat tent, taking classes in the new Core Building, (OOPS I forgot that was never built), Ginny Marzke ' s pep talks on finding a job, a winning basketball team our senior year, trips for munchies from AGP and Wilco, Cable T.V. that worked, Cable T.V. that never worked, sleeping through Fr. Kramer ' s lectures, getting to be the guinea pigs for the new Core X, the sad news of Dr. Downard ' s death, the retirement of Bill Jennings as football coach, R.A. ' s who always were there at the wrong time, road trips to Chicago, Little 500, Homecoming, Bennet ' s Pig Roast, Gallagher ' s Purple Passion Party, I.M. ' s, Halos Fools, Noll Stoned Ponies, an I.M. game without an injury, Bumper... Seniors 63 Like many other seniors, our lost year is centered toward looking ot the future, but it is also o time to reflect on our life here at St. Joe ' s. For all of us, deep rooted friendships have been mode here. Who will ever forget partying with the Smurfs, mud wrestling on o cool September evening, those incredible Dig-Chill Weekends and lost but not least ever lasting M.A.S.H. parties. Yes we hove hod some good times or Sr. Joe ' s ond to many of us they will be long lasting memories. David Dorret VIy Time or St. Joe ' s Going to college was going to be different ond I wasn ' t sure exactly what I would be facing. The school I chose was going to be o school which offered me o good learning otmosphere but it was also going to hove to be o place where I would enjoy living and could moke some new friends. When I come to this school — It was only o school! Yet, it didn’t take too long before other Freshmen were asking me who I wos ond Where is Schwietermon Hall?” My classes went very well and I felt os though I wos accomplishing something. I decided to come bock — once — twice — and a third time. The time hos gone so quickly. I know everyone soys that — But it’s True! I made it! — I am o Senior, a Graduate! I am confident both in the quality ond the degree of my learning. Somewhere along the way I found whot I needed ot 5r. Joe ' s, even when I didn ' t know I needed it. I think this is because St. Joe ' s stopped being just o school ond become more of o home. I have met and come to know so many people whose spirit, style ond coring ore so special that they will never let me forger them. The rime I have spent or St. Joe ' s has been filled with good times ond rimes of struggle, which means it hos been a rime of growth. I am thankful for those who have shored with me and been o port of my days here — for our time hos been time well spent! Matthew Doyle My Reflections of Sain t Joseph ' s College When I reflect on Saint Joe, I think of the good times ond bod times. I onolyze Soint Joe ' s community in on effort to figure our whot is wrong and whot could be done to right the wrong. I see o structure that needs to be re-structured. I see o change in the future ... if we will show some interest, take time to get involved, and voice our opinions. Soint Joseph ' s is a good school. It con be o great school! Take Saint Joe ' s away from the administration ond place it in the hands of the students. This is our school, let’s moke it ours to enjoy ond cherish. Small is beautiful when given the freedom to enjoy it! Saint Joe con be o great place, better than the rest. The ingredients ore all here, oil we need is to prepare it!! John J. Erby Senior Class of 85” ALIVE Seniors Clare Hillian gets a home permanent from one of her friends. ... Seniors Burgers, Trivial Pursuit games at all hours of the night, Mr. Groppes Core IX, Stuff ' s overthrow, studying in the library, sleeping in Sister Pot ' s lecture, sleeping in 99% of oil lectures, watching the corn grow bigger every fall, Sue Plomin ' s haircuts, getting corded ot every bar in town, the 50 t drinks at Chapmans, Twenty-first birthday parties, getting straight A ' s, well at least a few did, spring break in Florida, Dr. Mehal, getting carded in the cafeteria, sleeping past your eight o ' clock class, and the list could go on and on . . . The memories we will take from Saint Joseph’s College are memories that will last a lifetime. Many of the friendships will survive and others will fade away. But each person and each event has helped form each and every senior into a better person, than when we were freshmen stepping on SJC property in 1981 Seniors for many years have been kidded about why they stayed in Rensselaer, home of nothing except corn, well those that did stay know why they did. Because at Saint Joseph ' s College you receive a quality education and receive the opportunity to attempt many various activities. The class of 1985 will be missed but it is not the end of the journey. The contributions the class of 1985 are capable of making as alumni are Karen Donnelly, Mary Margret Smith, senior Jim Schreibir, Dill Maniscalco, senior Mike Von-eekeren, and David Hoover pose for a group shot during the senior breakfast. immense. Without doubt someone will be appointed to the alumni board and who knows maybe even the Board of Trustees. Thank you Saint Joseph ' s College for the memories and time you have given us, the class with class, 1985. David Dorret ond Vincent Massey get down during the HSUB Lipsink contest.

Aquinas The oldest residence hall in use on the campus is Aquinos Hall. Aquinos was built in 1910 in conjunction with the Chopel. The hall ' s original purpose wos to house the Precious Blood Sisters, who from 1891 to 1959 staffed the kitchen ond for most of that time also the laundry. Some of these Sisters eventually come to teach on the faculty. In 1959, when the building wos converted into a student residence hall, the building wos named after St. Thomas Aquinas, whom after being a Core 3 student you would readily recognize is a fitting patron of any school. Although it is too bod that the 68 years of service by the Precious Blood Sisters is not memorialized in the hall ' s name. ?d Aquinas 2nd Aquinas 3rd Front Row, Left to Right: Phil Sperry, John Roach, John Bellucci, Bob Klein, Scorr Lovell.

The reason for the question centered around a proposal to put up o plaque which would feature the image of Bishop John Bennett. Bennett himself went to school here in 1906 to 1909, and in 1944 become the first bishop of the local diocese of Lafayette, Indiana. In 1954-1955, when Bennett and Noll halls were being built, Bennett approved a fund drive for the college in oil parishes of his diocese. Bennett wos a frequent visitor to the college and in 1946, the college awarded him on honorary doctorate in appreciation. Perhaps the name Bennett, for the guys who live there ond the rest of the student body, should remind us of the many early alumni who devoted their entire lives to religion and to the Church as well os to helping their alma mater. Bennett First We Are the Ones . . . Dennett First The members of Dennett 1st like to think we are one of the best floors on campus, (probably the best!) At times, we ore o unified group; however, there is usually a little division from within. Some of the members feel there ore two types of people living on Dennett 1st. Those who ore members of Dennett 1st Northeast, and those who would like to be. Although there may be internal conflicts, whenever a member of Dennett is confronted with a problem from outside, he will always hove the full support of the floor. We take on the responsibility os a role model to the inferior forms on campus. We feel we display the proper balance between partying and studying. We like to be the best ot whatever we do, and if you were to check our repurafion around campus, this idea would be confirmed in entirety.

Apart from a softball marathon held on Labor Day Weekend, the major event is a Christmas party held in the Ballroom for the less fortunate children of the Rensselaer area. In addition to the party atmosphere, each child receives a gift.

Constructed during the tenure of Father President Gross, Halos Hall was part of on ambitious growth period of the College. The college was still o single sex institution, therefore men were the first residents. The building was dedicated in 1958 to George 5. Halos, o member of the Board of Trustees a generous patron of the College, and owner of the Chicago Bears Football team. Mr. Halos had utilized the campus os the training camp for the Bears for several years. It is truly significant that these facts be noted since the dedicated man died recently. Halas Hall currently houses women and has a total capacity of 124. Each floor houses approximately 42 women who very quickly form close and lasting relationships.

Justin 117 Merlini In 1984, residents of Merlini Hall became interested in the history of the hall, especially in its coar-of-arms and its name. The hall ' s residents got together and decided to set up a display case to show the coar-of-arms and some of the hall trophies. Fr. Gerlach C.PP.S. was able to help the residents. About the name, the hall was named after Father Giovanni (John) Merlini, a priest of the Society of the Precious Blood. Merlini ' s principal marks of distinction were that he was the general superior of the Society in Rome, 1847-1873, and that his heroic life later gained him the title of Venerable, the first step towards sainthood in the Catholic Church. Father Merlini never actually set foot on American soil but he did strive ahead in efforts to set up institutions of higher education and learning. Therefore, the use of this name memoralized the almost one century of work the priests and brothers of the Society of the Precious Blood in the college opostolote. r n First Row: Tony Dir; Second Row: Debashi Bharracharya, Gary Kleinrichert, Russ Den- nick, Par Deacy, Poblo Libro, Ron Serh, Phil Lowe, Dove Zipparo; Third Row: Dove Cloncy, Joe Condon, Don Carr, John Huff- srerer, Rich Krupo, Don Lapinski, Alan Ritz, Dove Monninger, Mike Mills. Merlini 119 Schwiererman Hall is probably | primarily known as the building which I most of the Precious Blood priests and | brothers, who hove teaching or : administrative positions at 5JC, coll ; home. However, a small group of | students live on the second floor of this holl os well. They are the C.PP.5. college level seminarians and brother candidates. What makes them different? Not much really, they look like anyone else, they do a lot of the same crazy things anyone else might do, and they hove a lor of the same concerns. Yet if there was one aspect or characteristic which could be soid to really set them opart, it would probably hove to be a common goal that they share, and a common bond of support for each other in achieving that goal. The goal is to take an honest look ot the priesthood or brotherhood in the Society of the Precious Blood, to take on honest look ot themselves, and finally to decide whether or not the religious life is right for each one of them as individuals. The bond of support is so important because there are so few in the seminarian brother candidate program. If there was no bond, it would surely be questionable whether the program would exist ot all. The common goal and bond ore exhibited formally in doily Mass ond prayer, and informally in just being there for a friend when things ore not going so well, or celebrating when things ore. These guys ore really about as diverse a group os you Schwieterman Holl First Row: Fr. Al Naseman C.PP.S., Man Doyle, Tom Cortes, Tim Cahill, Mike Bendele, Jerry Schwieterman.
