THE STAR Qlllass Zlaisturp uf 1:33 NCE the beginning .of the school year 1Sl26-27, the class . ix M of 1B has been making St. Joe s famous in every respect. S1213 Its coop-eration in all the school's undertakings, its loyalty, I? ts students? sincerity and conduct have made it the pop- f6vpl,5ge. vm Ii ular and notable class which it is. At the very outset of the football season 1B showed such attendance at all games that it easily had the best average of the freshman classes, and always stood high in competition with the other classes. Its cheering was a big factor in the team's great stream of vic- tories. Then came the class team of 1B in the Freshman Basketball League. The members on the team were Hiemenz, Andujar, Lyons, Joyce, Frisa and last but not least the great delicatessen man Lobby Lobmiller. .A Freshman Team was next selecte-d and five of 1B's players qualified for it. From the first game Hiemenz was the scoring ace, so fast that our opposition thought he was greased lightning. Sebas Andujar the old reliable was the stonewall to many as well intended goal. His great guard- ing and Lyons' maneuvering at forward were important factors in the team's great career. After a very successful season of basketball our class next formed a baseball team which claims the freshman title. Our infield was composed of Rebescher, Jacobi, Lobmiller and Hiemenz. Our outfield consisted of Lapare, O'Connor, Andujar, and Lyons. Our battery was Dan Cowl of Bartlett A. C. fame, an-d Bill Joyce, former St. Theresa's star at the pitching post, with Joe Frisa behind the platter. Cawl has a wonderful gum drop as he calls it, which has helped him win for his Bartlett A. C. This curve ball has set all previous opposition upon their crutches, and it is no wonder the Bartletts have won five games out of four starts. That's the old 1B winning spirit, Dan. Keep it up! Joyce, our other twirler starred on the basketball team, holding down a guard position. A rather bright boy, Joyce, has made a great hit with his clever imitation of John Barone. Oh, yes, thereis Joe Frisa who has told us oft and oft, that if Kelly had twice the brains he has now he would be a halfwit. Joe is famous because he always works and does his homework alone. But, Joe has the class at heart and if you wish anything in the line of wit, please consult this lad. Joe is also a ballplayer and singer of note. The reason Why Irish Kelly is slow, is that he wears I. R. C. stocking, guaranteed not to run under any circumstances. Irish is a quiet, moody boy, who never cracks a joke. Who said that? Do you know where our room has gotten its pep? From nowhere else but Eddie Tutak, the livewiren of 1B. Scvc My

THE STAR At last Cowboy Hankin, big cowman from N. Buffalo, has sold his faithful horse Flying Dominoes and has recently purchased a Miracle Wagon. We see where Angert's auto parts will soon get some business. With the entrance of Steven Chute our class found a great sheik, a boy who never fools and a clever handball player. Evidently he must be a bigg0 in his village. He claims to be a skilful handball player, but Tutak has his number-Crescent 2301. Next we have Goldie Gaetz, our midget, who holds the record for climbing the stairs, his fastest time being five minutes flat. Then there is Mayor Charles Lapare of Fort Erie, whose executive duties of late have been keeping him from school. Charlie is also a boxer of note for over in his metropolis he has been popularly called the Fort Erie Flash fin the panh, having lost one bout in as many starts. A great tragedy was narrowly averted when John fBeefD Bauer was finally persuaded to cease his violent attempt at Black Bottom. The school was just about to collapse when the beloved Brother Virgil rushed in upon the scene and halted hostilities. Bauer is a good-natured fellow, though, a good salesman and a popular man in 1B. John CSausageJ Malone, our bespeckled youth, thinks Grant had to fight for the North in the Civil War because he wore a union suit. Recently Frank Kellner golf wizard hit a ball down a fellow golfer's throat. As the ball lodged there the latter had to be operated upon and during the knifing Frank excitedly awaited the outcome. What for? The ball of course. Frank, however, has been doing fine Work in studies and a bright future is forecast for him. Syd Masters, the absentee record holder, Bob Brennan, the apple king, Angel Face Fatta the great penance man, Melancholy O'Connor, Ray'i Sharmach, copying czar, Bill O,Rourke, the big boy , Johnnie the book worm, Willie McCarthy the candy kid from the Chocolate Bar, Barone, our Beau Brummel Goergan, class poet, and vote getter, Babies Mattison and Mellon, our big he-man , Baker another boy star, Frank Ehret, the little boy blue , Lindsey, toymaker, Bill O'Connell, the Alibi Ike , have all done splendid work for the past and have heaped glory on 1B. In conclusion let us remember the good mother of our worthy and beloved classmate George Rebescher, who passed away on Thursday, June 2, 1927. We all feel she has truly merited eternal repose in heaven and all promise her our earnest prayers. Here ends the eventful and brilliant record of 1B for the school year 1926-27. S my two
