H.S. Fifteen pupils entered St. Joseph School as the Freshmen of 1933. From all direc- tions they came renewing old friendships, and making new ones for the year. On September 8, 193883, we entered Room 6 and heard the Do’s and Don’ts of school life. We gazed upon the Lordly Seniors, the Dignified Juniors and So- phisticated Sophomores. We greeted our teach- ers who are very kind and loving to all of us, and we decided to do what we could to make life full of joy for them and for ourselves. We pro- ceeded to our study room where we met our dear Sister M. Pascaline who received us with a smil- ing countenance and we have labored with her help to obey the rules of the school and hope that when the school days of the term are over we shall be considered a credit to our school.— 37. el Pr eae.

Any one can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, and purely for a day. This is all life really means to us. Do your duty today, fight today’s temptations. Do not weaken and dishearten yourself by looking into the future for things you cannot see or could not understand were you to see them. God gives night to lower its curtain of darkness on our little days. Do not attempt to see beyond. Short hori- zons make life easier and render us capable of brave, true and holy living.—’37. AGES OF MAN Birth to 10—he acquires his disposition and his temperament. 10 to 20—he acquires his manners and his friends. 20 to 830—he makes a batch of false starts. 30 to 40—he either makes good or falls down. 40 to 50—he goes ahead at full speed or lies by the roadside. 50 to 60—he reaps what he sowed in his earlier years. 60 to 70—he had his full measure of honor or dishonor. 70 to 80—he looks forward and back, with great joy or great regret.—N. N. Jolly United Neat Intellectual Obedient Regular —0o LEADERSHIP AND ITS RESPONSIBILIT Y It is quite natural that we desire to be lead- ers. But do we ever stop to consider that ai- tached to leadership is responsibility. The fireman looks forward eagerly to the day when he will have charge of an engine as an engineer; but when the promotion comes he trembles as he thinks of the many lives for whose safety he is so largely responsible. There is no position of leadership which does not carry with it its measure of solemn respon- sibility proportioned according to its dignity and importance. When one is chosen to fill a position in the school the position is not conferred as a per- sonal compliment nor is it for the gratification of personal vanity, or personal advantage, but it is a means of fixing personal responsibility. We believe that there is nothing more needed today than a revival of consciousness of the obligations of leadership. We need not expect the school to be more loyal than its leaders, or to move forward with greater zeal and fidelity than is exhibited by those who are chosen to positions of responsi- bility.—’35. —— — 0— Those who try to appear what they are not would make a better appearance by being what they are. Most people who try to appear bet- ter than they are, are really better than they ap- pear to be. No amount of pretense can im- prove on the original. Character subtly makes itself known through every disguise; and this is a very comforting fact, since the character is usually so much better than the caricature. Be yourself. eereeerececeosre eo @ Se SHPS HSCS HSHSSOCSCOC SCS SHOSHSOS SO SSeS

SPeeresersereesee THE HAPPIEST TIME Young men and women are all the time be- ing told that the present is the happiest time of their lives, and that is not particularly pleas- ant news to those just starting out. Most of them are aware of the hardships of their lot. An examination that must be passed in a month may be as much of a bugbear as a note that must be met in thirty days. The people that tell you that the present is the happiest time of your life are not quite fair. They may have been happier in their youth than they are now, but there are others who find each year better than the last. Do not belittle the good experience of the present. Form the habit of being happy, for that will be a great help. Do not believe, how- ever, that you are happier now than you ever will be again. Thousands find the path of life one that grows brighter all the way—N. N. 1) LIVING AND THINKING It is more difficult to live on the level than it is to think on the level. In your mind you may have a pack of splendid ideas. You may admire fine actions, and abhor the other sort. But when it comes to putting these thoughts into practice that is something else. But it is better to think good and do bad than it is to think bad and do bad also. We’re not altogether sure it isn’t bet- ter than it is to think bad and do good. That marks either a coward or a hypocrite. But if you really think right a lot of your thinking is bound to crop out in your actions. Keep the old brain on the decent track and it’s apt to pull the rest of you along with it. MAKING ACQUAINTANCES Make no useless acquaintances. On first acquaintance, be natural, for any artificial or “put on” stuff cannot hold out that same pro- portion very long. It makes one smile to see or hear people, when they first meet, trying so desperately hard to make the impression that they are so nice, so sweet, so amiable. They never hold out. The practice of saluting people in a friendly but dignified manner leaves all about you be- lieving in you. One can be sincerely considerate, honestly polite, dignifiedly friendly with a new acquaint- ance without being over-nice all at once. The gushing greeter, the palpitating polite person gives proof that his or her manners are only a surface showing—just skin deep. Just be yourself in the beginning of an ac- quaintance, then there will be no disappoint- ments as you continue that acquaintance.— 34. sitll ak dele Ly eee Put these five things on your five finger tips; to see, to think, to love, to believe, to work. These are the things that give you a grip on life. seer ooo eo Page 9 HOME TOWN LOYALTY Why not be fair to your own community? Do your buying with the merchant who is your neighbor and friend, who, when you need it, will give you accommodations you could not get away from home, who helps to keep our community going and growing by paying taxes and licenses here, paying store rent here, paying wages to employees here, buying his own household sup- plies here. The home business man is a big factor in the growth and development of the city. When it is necessary to raise funds for church or charity he is the first to give, and he gives liberally. The question is largely one of loyalty and of good business practice. It is not loyalty to a community to buy goods in other places that could be bought as cheaply and as well at home, and it is poor business policy to pay merchants in other cities more for goods than home merchants charge for them. 0 INFALLIBILITY Others are fallible, as you are. All make mistakes. Go and make them as others do; then correct them, forget them, and act again and yet again. Remember that the greatest and most successful careers of the world are nothing but a tissue of mistakes corrected and forgotten. ARE YOU A GENTLEMAN? A wise man once defined a gentleman as one who— Never inflicts pain. Makes everyone at ease and at home in his presence. Doesn’t bring up topics that might cause ir- ritation to another. Makes light of favors while he does them. Never gossips or slanders. Never takes unfair advantage of another. Is never mean in disputes, but always fair and generous. Never gives out sharp sayings for argument. Bears no malice. Is kind to another intellect inferior to his own. Always just. Respects weakness in human nature, and makes the proper allowance for it. Measured by this rule of manly conduct, are you a gentleman ?—’34. —0O TIME Time is the one thing that can never be re- trieved. One may lose and regain a friend; one may lose and regain money; opportunity once spurned may come again; but the hours that are lost in idleness can never be brought back to be used in gainful pursuits. Most careers are made or marred in the hours after supper. —o Religion that controls one’s heart and hand can easily convince another’s head. . 2 ©-¢ © © 6 © 8 © oo SoS SSF FSS SS SFSFFHSSSFO FHSS SHSHSHSOHSSOEOHSCOOSOHSOOHOSEH OSHS COOH O SCS 2 e © @ @ 2 eee eee eee eee eeeeee Coe eecoCeCoCo CCC Ce CCC Coe eo eee eee

It is one of the noblest sentiments which wells the human heart. It purifies, uplifts and ennobles. It is an attribute of stability in character. Grati- tude has been deeply embedded in our charac- ters here at St. Joseph’s. This evinces that our practical training is adorned with a cultural background. How difficult it is to impart this deep gratitude to those to whom it is due. There are times when speech is impossible and the heart can only express through actions its sin- cere thanks. We find ourselves thus bound when we at- tempt to express our appreciation to the most de- Serving recipient, Sister M. Adeline. Time, the famed and well-known robber of youth, may not grant us in the future a period long enough to express our appreciation by actions. Still we extend our faith, our deeply sincere and heart- felt love and gratitude to the one who has been our model and guidance during the years when we most need them. May she reap the benefit of her good work and find happiness both here and hereafter in re- turn for the good and happiness she has brought to others. It is hoped and prayed for both by the stu- dents of the High School and the pupils of the grade school that she will spend still many, many years in their midst.—’37. {NES elas CHARITY AND TOLERANCE The most lovable virtues that any person can possess are charity and tolerance. Charity is the star that leads to unselfishness. It en- ables us to give relief to the needy and the neg- lected. Charity also makes us liberal in judg- ing men and actions. It is one of the most highly valued virtues one can acquire. Charity covers a multitude of sins. Tolerance enables us to see things from an- other’s point of view. It gives to others the right to their own opinion and their own pecu- liarities. It is the bigness that enables us to let people be happy in their own way instead of our way. If one has really acquired these two virtues he will have added greatly to his assets for eternity.—’37. 0) The underlying principle of all success is founded on drudgery, sacrifice, painstaking labor and persistent effort. 0) Pins and people amount to very little if they lose their heads.

J. H. so dear to us— We’re passing from your ranks But we’re leaving someone in the school To continue with our pranks. We may have been unruly At times when we felt gay But I think we all are Seniors As we near Commencement Day. So we take this means to say Goodbye, Dear school we love so well We wish you more in every way Than anyone can tell. —N.N. 10) Every man has at times in his mind the ideal of what he should be, but is not. This ideal may be high and complete, or it may be quite low and insufficient; yet in all men that really seek to improve, it is better than the actual character. Man never falls so low that he can see nothing higher than himself. O Life never seems tangled to the fellow who goes straight. oo 2 oe Oo So Sf SOS OSS SSS SSH SSF SSF SS SSF SOS SF SFSFSSSSFS FFF HSE SSSOSSSSSSS SSS 2 2 oe oo oo eo doe ooo oo ee e -2-0-0-©-0-0-0-0-©--0-0-0 0-6-0 © 0-0-0 0 6-0-8 S SSS FSS SSS SSSSSSOSSOSEOSOSOOOO SOS OSS OSS OOOO OS SCOOPS OSLO SOOO OO e
