| SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Seven girls and eight boys began their high school career in 1940. Having endured a stiff initiation they were permitted to un- dertake the studying of Algebra, Biology, Latin | and English. Next year the twelve returning sophomores learned to appreciate their old and new studies. By using the knowledge they gain- ed of the workings of the clubs, they began to play an important part in the Busy Bee and Glee Clubs. One of the accomplishments of the class this year was to manage the fare- well party for the seniors of ‘42. Leaving behind room five, Sister Anastasia, the sophomores, and the new freshmen, they crossed the threshold to room six, a new teacher, SisterTheresa Marie, and new sub- jects. During the second semester they made and carried out plans for the banquet which the juniors annually give in honor of the sen- iors. In September of 1943, eight students re- turned to finish the'r four years of high school. In this last year they completed their course and prepared to use the knowledge that they acquired of their four years in Saint Joseph's High. The outstanding achievements of this class were the bazaars of '43 and '44 of which Richard Riedhart was chairman. In their junior and senior years several members of the class held offices in the Busy Bee Club. During these years some of the best club meetings in the history of the club were held. It has been stated that because of their splen- did school spirit, the senior class of '44 has been outstanding in its dramatic, literary, and scholastic achievements.
