These invaluable assets always prove to be the difference between the year of successful enterprises and one characterized by just another graduating class. In bringing out those qualities the unior students at St. oes illus- trate the traditional school spirit. In the early part of the school year. this spirit was exhibited by them in the hard worlc which went into securing money for the Building Fund Drive. The united contributions of the three unior rooms, 12, 14 and 22, amounted to ,S4,393.00, a large percentage of the entire school's quota. Brother Augustineis Room 22 sponsored our lone skating party of the year in order to raise the money which was given to Father Schieder as the contribution of Room 22 toward raising funds for the new school building. In conjunction with the Drive, also, Brother A. Clement organized a tumbling act for the mammoth rally which was held at Kleinhans Music Hall just before the workers set out on their jobs of soliciting throughout the city. This tumbling act, one of the high- ROOM 12 Ixt Row: Kunstel. Colern. Nlasterson, Bestlne. Gottstine, Lombard. Smith. 1.exner, Flynn. D. Kieffer, B. Kieffer. frm' Row: Habermehl, Speyer.

Clement who was satisfied only with near-professional performances on their part. Christmas came and again under the direction of Brother A. Clement, a beautiful crib, replete with snow, miniature village and colored lights, was erected in his homeroom, Room 12. The con- struction of this crib drew a great deal of commendation from the students as well as the faculty and added to the holiday spirit which pervaded the school during this joyous season. With the accent on literary ability, the National Essay Contest provided the entire student body with the opportunity to participate in competition with other schools for a large number of prizes, both national and local. Among the many Junior contributors, the worlc of two, George Striegel and Robert Nlilcuszewslci, both of Brother -Iosephls Room 14, was selected. Their thoughts on lVf1at the United States Navy Mean.: to Me were deemed sufficiently meritorious to be con- sidered representative of the school and their essays were forwarded for further judging. Following the precedent started last year bv the Junior English teacher, Mr. Kass, the more literary and imaginative members of the Junior class contributed their best talents to the writing ROOM 14 151 Row: Donnelly, Norris, Striegel, Amodeo, Schneggenburger, W.
