g T H E S T A R . Zlaistnrp ui jfrzsbman Glass ME QEQQQUQQFQITII the close of the present term, this class, Freshman C, Wim! we 5'3 '26-'27, passes into Collegiate Institute history. Here we 5 are, thiry-five regulars, irregulars, actives, passives, sper- SQ fects iperhaps?l and mostly imperfects. We are now in plz, -f Q- .1 the grips of the final scholastic tussle which is the su- preme test as to whether we shall advance or recede. Owing to the pleasing and encouraging efforts of all our teachers, our Freshman Year has been a most successful one. True, it is that an occasional one has been sidetracked, but, all things considered, we have as a class, been a success. One C, is familiarly known as the French Class. It is so called because most of us have elected the Language of Diplomacy as our foreign language starter. There are a few who selected the language of Cicero to begin with. Professor Fitzgerald successfully conducts our French and Professor Barden is equally successful with the Latin Class. Our happy group is made up of boys from the Grammar grades Cot' boysl from fifteen parishes of this city. Mt. St. Joseph's Boys' School, St. Teresa's Holy Name and St. Magdalen's have more representatives here than we have from any other schools. The zealous pastors and pains- taking Sisters have sent us their finest type of American Catholic boy- hood, all being fine specimens of Christian manliness. With surprising rapidity our boys acquire the loyal spirit for which St. Joseph's boys are noted. In all activities we have co-operated to the best of our ability in bringing the various events to a successful issue. Several boys in our class have given a most creditable account of themselves in athletics during the past year. Mr. John Decker has worked wonders with the young people during his training season. The snappy teams he put on the Gym floor have furnished many a thrill during the winter season. Anthony Weinholtz is our Star scholar, having led his class during the entire scholastic year. His closest competitors were Arthur Grimm, Casimir Konopan, Franklin Hochreiter, Andrew Dorn and John Long. Our most popular period was Biology. There is no subject on our Scho- lastic Platter which seemed to be attacked with such enthusiasm. That 'Lab' period, says one, Is my favorite. The mathematical stars are Arthur Grimm, Alfred Setter and Casimir Konopa. In English we have Gerald Beckley, Franklin Hochreiter and John Long. Latin is the fav- orite study of Andrew Dorn who has the highest marks to his credit. We congratulate our Graduates on the successful termination of their studies here and Wish them God Speed. We thank our teachers for their efforts in our behalf and wish them a happ-y holy and restful vaca- tion. We thank also the editors and all connected with The Star for the bright snappy school paper which they prepared for us each month. The Star was always good, but, this year, it was the best ever.
