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.

he 1984-85 Student Association had a very successful year. 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. Social Events Social Events 7
