K, F 1 y V X ! x ' I X ' l C- N Y XMI X 14 A Q V 'C di X C X i l For the first time in its fourteen years the Sham- rock Club was represented in the annual St. Pat- ricks Day Parade. Under the organization and supervision at Mr. Herman the group won first prize in its marching division. Almost two hundred boys braved snow, sleet and gale-torce winds to win the coveted trophy. Following flag-bearer John Breier were George Navadel, Fred Fechter and John McKeone, parade captains. This is a tremendous organization. The boys this year can be proud that they are members of such a club. They have followed the old prece- dents, but have also set new ones-ones that will last long after they have left. i ri amy' M Xi' 1 4 HL The Irish take over the Chem Lab at Christmas Time

Bob Klocke Shamrock Club For fourteen years now Mr. John J. Borden has given his all for his most prized proiect, St. Joe's Shamrock Club. ln l94l Mr. Borden had only a few boys in his infant organization. Today nearly every student in school is a member. This is a great accomplishment. The activities this year were among the finest ever run by its moderator. Bob Klocke and Bill Connelly were elected Co- Presidents with Ron Malecki as Chairman of the Board of Directors. They, with last year's board O 'D Bill Connelly and six additional members, performed a mog- nificent iob. The highlights of the school year came at Christmas and on St. Patrick's Day. As every year, the club distributed food baskets to the less fortunate .of the community at Christmas time. Each family was provided with two full bas- kets of food. This great success may be credited to Dick Gilbert, Tim Donovan, Jerry Mullen and Pat Donlon. Front row: F. Pisaro, J. Burns, J. Herbold, E. Ryan, R. Maleckl, R. Werdein, P. Donlon, A.

l . A ,typ v'- Paintings and trophies attract interest at hobby show Hobby Show The hundreds of parents and friends who visited St. Joe's Hobby Show and Open House on Sun- day, April 4, were greeted upon entering the gym, by the eye-filling sight of over 240 exhibits, run- ning the gamut from cake decorating to elec- tronics. The most popular hobby, as demonstrated by the recent show, was photography, whose exhibit included 62 photos. Close behind this pastime in the number of participants were model airplanes ll2 R. Williamson croons with 45 entries, and model automobiles, with 32. Students energetically demonstrated the appar- atus in the Physics lab, while the air in the Chem- istry lab was filled with indications of the skill of students of this ancient science. Midway through the afternoon the school orchestra gave a fine performance in the school gym. A tape recorder in the second floor corridor proved the center of attraction for many, others found a homemade car more to their liking. Dore me? gi ,Lf
