Heading the cast as the absent-minded professor was Floyd Fetter who acted very absent-minded. A grand performance was given by Carl Shoudel who had the role of ‘“‘Dummy.’’ Margaret, the love-starved girl was played by Marian Poppele who proved her dramatic ability. Jane Muzzillo was given the role of Margaret's cynical mother. The rest of the cast was as follows: Jim Cameron, a nephew, Harris Hoeffel; Alaska, a sleuth, George Mansfield; Sam Hedges, a villain, Richard Seifert; Dorothy Burke, his assistant, Corinne Mansfield; and Sylvia, the maid, Jeanette Etoll. The play proved to be a real success and has placed itself among the never-to-be-forgotten hits of S.J.H.

It was the beginning of a new life for us. Our initiation came a little later. Some thought it was hard; some said it was easy. With the assistance of the good teachers, Sister Anastasia and Sister Theresa Marie, we got along in our lessons well. We hope that our work was good, and we shall do what we can to show our appreciation. We are looking forward to the years to come to promote ourselves and gain further knowledge. Our class is composed of five boys and four girls. William Dembickie was elected president and Nicholas Filip, vice president.

Since our entrance into this school four years ago, we have been zealous in our attempt to attain our ‘“goal’’—the day of our graduation. The years have been full of pleasant anticipation, and if we did occasionally find the path wearisome, as most boys do, we have never failed to receive inspiration from the seniors going on before. We have been studying and putting into practice, though sometimes imperfectly, the philosophy of true living. What we have gained can never be taken from us. We have a knowledge that shall make us good and honest citizens, Catholic in mind and heart. It is this Catholic training that we value most. We are now old enough to realize to a certain extent, dear parents, haw wisely you have acted in sending us to a school where we were not only taught the academic subjects but also how to live happily as real American Catholic men and women. If we fail, though God forbid, the fault will not be yours nor will it be that of our instructors but only our own because we cannot say that we have not been taught. We are ready to enter the busy world with unbounded hope, courage and faith. And now, dear friends, we welcome you most cordially to these, our last exercises in St. Joseph School. 4 i ‘ ‘ inet ) ens we 7 ‘ me
