THE STAR We met for the third time in September, 1926, this time as dignified and important Juniors. We found ourselves under the leadership of Brother Basilian, who led us so ably in second year. We immediately renewed old acquaintances and set out to pass the scholastic year. The class started on its journey through third year with a Retreat, which was of great benefit to all. We responded to the call of the St. La Salle Auxiliary, and our position among the leaders was the result. The second-quarter saw the entrance of Christmas holidays, and the mid-year exams. The third quarter passed uneventfully, all studying for the not- far-distant Regents. Now, you find us cramming knowledge into our heads for the coming exams. Let's hope all pass. Our class has been well represented in sports. Milford Berner, all-star full-back, and Eddie O'Connor saw action on the football field. Eddie O'Connor also played in basketball. Ed Walsh, Jim Braun and Joe Healy represent us on the diamond while on sports, we might say that the class basketball team was near the top in the Senior League. This class has also contributed to other school activities. Our class led all others when it came to bringing in votes for the Library contest. In conjunction with the Card Party, the Junior class held a Junior Class Ban- quet, the first of its kind in the history of St. Joseph's. It turned out to be a great success. The class, in general, has been very successful in its studies. A few have dropped out. The majority, however, have decided to last it. James Kelly, Joseph Schifferli and James Sweeney have excelled in studies. A few more days and we shall have the honored name of Seniors! Then a few short weeks of vacation, and we shall become active under that name so desired by all. We Wish the faculty, the patrons of the Star , and our fellow school- mates a happy vacation. QBur jlliluntblp Qllnmmuniun fj?fgQq HROUGH the kindness of Monsignor Duffy, our entire mlmil ,Z ' student body has enjoyed the unusual privilege of the use of the beautiful new St. Joseph's Cathedral for First wi Friday Devotions. It has always been an inspiring sight, I . N I -fl' cg to any one visiting the 'Cathedral on one of those mem- orable dars, to see an assemblage of St. J0e's boys, filling almost an entire side of the middle aisle, receive their Divine Lord in Holy Communion. The spirit displayed by the boys on these occasions was remarkable in its sincerity and devotion. Although attendance there required much sacrifice on the part of the boys, nearly all, with very few exceptions, possess a perfect record. At 7:45 A. M., on every First Friday morning the students assembled at the school from which they walked in a body to the Cathedral. Mass and Sacred Heart Devotions occupied their attentions here, and these over, they returned to school, where break- fast was served in the cafeteria. Soon afterwards, however, the regular routine of school duties was under way, but the spirit in which the students had begun the day was present throughout it. M. B. If 'eftj four
