Senior Class History Four years ago eleven graduates from the eighth grade entered St. Joseph's High School as freshmen. Our ambition was that of becoming digni- fied seniors. After taking our first step we met with disaster and lost four students. We all agree that we lived up to our name as Freshmen”. Our sophomore battle was long and hard, but after conquering Latin and Geometry we were rewarded by being given the title of “Jolly Juniors’’. We mastered our junior year and proved our ability in two fields: our dramatic ability by originating the one-act plays which have proved to be so popular and our artistic ability which was shown in the decorations at the Junor-Senior Banquet. This banquet, in the opinion of many, was the best given in St. Joseph's High School. Three of our class took parts in ihe Senior Class Play of ‘40. Again fate was against us and we lost another student. Our last step, that of seniors, passed quickly. With the faithful help of Sister Theresa Marie we finished our high school course with great success. We leave here with fond memories of our “Alma Mater”’.

THERESA MUZZILLO “How easy it is for one benevolent being to diffuse pleasure around him; and how truly is a kind heart a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity to freshen into smiles!” “Muzzy”, cheerful, good-natured, and the producer of many a good laugh, was the presi- dent of the senior class. She served one term as secretary of the Busy Bee Club in 1940, and vice-president in ‘41. Theresa was business manager of the 1941 Signet. Theresa portrayed the part of Mrs. Powers exceedingly well, in “His First Girl’. She played the part of Lou Mansfield in the senior class play of ‘41. We wish you luck, Muzzy! BUGENE BEBE “There is no personal charm so great as the charm of a cheerful and happy temperament.” “Gene” is a very active character on the S. J. H. S. campus. Worry and gloom takes flight whenever ‘‘Gene”’ appears on the scene. He has great talent for singing as well as acting. His superb acting as a married man in “His Best Foot Forward’ would lead one to believe that he had experience. Eugene had the leading role in the Senior Class play of 1941. He played the part of Ted Watson, a man very much in love. Eugene was vice-president of the Busy Bee Club in 1940. May the best of luck be yours in the future.
