St Josephs High School - Crest / Signet Yearbook (Garrett, IN)

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The year was 1941, The place was St. Joseph’s High School, the characters were five green freshmen. This was the begin- ning of a four year play entitled ““THE LAST FOUR YEARS” which has ended in a smashing success. The play was a variety of comedy, trag- edy and drama. As the curtain rose and the overture (initiation) was played, it could be noticed by those sitting in the front row that all the actors were ‘“‘scared stiff.’ After the first few months of the play had passed, the characters gained composure and self-confidence. They handled the heavy parts of Latin and Al- gebra with great ease. By the time the second act rolled around, they were vet- eran actors and the parts of Latin and Geometry were like child’s play to them. The third act was the turning point of the play. Chemistry and typ ing paved the way to the final climax which came in the last act. With the trueness of natural born actors the play went on and last act subjects of Civics and English Literature were carried on until the last. The grand finale of graduation gave the actors all the satisfaction and apprecia- tion so much desired by professional ac- tors.
