J. H. Junior 1947 Published by St. Joseph S High School Garrett, Indiana DEDICATION To our pastor and principal, Rev. Leon P. Pisula, and to Sisters Justina and An- astasia, we, the Junior class of ‘47, dedicate this book and take this Opportunity to thank you for all you have done for us, Principal's Message As Christians, each one of us can and must aid in safeguarding the material and spiritual interests of our own and mankind at large. This may be accomplished only by following the teachings of Christ, Who is “the Truth, the Way and the Life’. There are two principal ways of making the Gospel of Christ known and bringing others into the Fold of Christ. The one is by being called and ordained to “go and make disciples of all nations” and the other is by aiming to “let your light shine before men, in order that they. may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven’. All Christ’s followers, then, have been redeemed for service and one of the greatest means of doing the work of Christ is by displaying a thorough, Christian, Christ-like character. Character is power. The silent witness of a true, unselfish, godly life carries an almost irrestible influence. By manifesting the character of Christ in our own lives, we cooperate with Him on the work of saving souls and making them truly happy. A noble character is an attainment, however, not an inheritance. It docs not come to us by accident, but it is eartied by individual and persevering effort, assisted by the grace of God. God gives the talents; we form the character. But a character formed ac- cording to the divine likeness is the most effective and versatile instrument in the work of sowing the seeds of the Gospel in the hearts of our as- sociates. The wider our sphere of influence, the more good we can do. Our ambition should be to develop within ourselves such a Christ- like character for our own, personal sanctification, then make our presence constantly felt by influencing others for good thereby making our con- tribution to the material and spiritual interests of all mankind. Sincerely yours in Chyist Rev. L. Pisula JUNIORS JAMES BONKOSKI James took active part in affairs around school and was acting Business Manager in the club for a time. DONNA JEAN DELAGRANGE Although she was not made president of the class or club she played a prominent part in a play called “My Cousin from Sweden.” Donna played one of the neighbors whose name was Gladys Pres- ton. KATHLEEN DE PEW Kathleen takes part in every school activity and also in plays. In “My Cousin from Sweden” she played the part of Mae Preston, also a neighbor. MAE BELL MYERS Mae Bell is President of the Junior class and was also past-Treasurer of the Busy Bee Club. She played a leading role in “The District Contest’’ personifying a woman about thirty-five years of age. MARGARET MILLER Margy was the past-Secretary of the Busy Bee Club of the S. J. H. She also played an important character in “My Cousin from Sweden” as Charlotte Mills, one who was expecting the cousin. She is also Vice-President of the Junior Class. EDWARD KOBIELA Ed made a name for himself in the club when he was Business Manager for a time. His part was that of a determined man in “Poor Man, Rich Man.” RICHARD YANUSZESKI Richard is the acting president of the club for the second semester. Although playing no part in the plays he took an active issue in school affairs any- way. MARY YOUNG President of the Busy Bee Club for the year of 1946.

Junior Class History Eleven excited and somewhat frightened girls and boys assumed the roll of Fresh- men in St. Joseph’s High in September 1944. We eleven were greeted by our upper classmen with a mild initiation party. At the end of nine months of battling Latin and Algebra we were able to assume the title of Sophomores. Chemistry and Geometry presented new problems this year. A trip to Chicago, two picnics and numerous parties made our Sophomore year one on which we can look back on with pleasure and many happy memories. Entering our Junior year we found many subjects entirely new to us, but we man- aged to see them through. During our very eventful Junior year two boys and one girl had to leave us. That left eight of us happily looking forward to our Senior year.

Anastasia. The enemy forces were comprised of Religion, Latin, Algebra, English and Health. These two forces met and after several months of combat the strength of the 49'ers began to show and the enemy defeated. After several months of rest the battle was renewed. The 49’ers were under new leaders, William Young and Mary Lou Bushong, when the battle was renewed. They kept up their brilliant fighting, to once again overpower the enemy. After two successful cam- paigns the 49'ers look forward to two more campaigns and then their honorable dis- charge from S. J. H. William Young and Mary Lou Bushong, ‘49 Freshman Class History The Freshman Class walked slowly into Room 5, hoping the subjects set before them would not prove too hard. With encouragement from their teacher and hard study they conquered Latin, English, Biology and Geometry, which was taken instead of Algebra. They all did their share in attending the parties. These six boys and eleven girls had a swell time, thanks to the Sophomores and Juniors. The Freshman are eagerly looking forward to the tiree remaining years in St. Joseph’s High. Ileen Hollis, ‘50 —eEeEe——————— Ee =e ee A Om ak A kg oe a a A ed Or weer A TREK TO DETROIT Dark and early Thursday morning, October 24, the sleepy students of S. J. H. boarded a chartered bus at 4:30 to begin the first lap of their journey to Detroit. This first lap was completed when we arrived at the Irish Hills after a ride that seemed like hours. After eating breakfast here we climbed the steps of the Lookout tower on Bundy Hill from which we saw a beautiful view of the surrounding country-side. Upon de- scending we immediately left on the last lap of our journey. Soon we arrived in the suburbs of Detroit and went to Greenfield Village which was.our first destination. When we arrived here we found that only the museum was open. In the museum we saw the largest unnailed teakwood floor in the world upon which was displayed cars, dating from the first to the latest model; ditto for airplanes, bicycles, stage coaches and clocks. Also there were minature reproductions of shops of the nineteenth century. Due to lack of time we had to leave the museum before completing our tour. After dining in a ‘swanky’ restaurant in Detroit we proceeded into Canada by way of the Windsor Tunnel, under the Detroit River. Upon arriving at Windsor we were given an hour’s freedom in which some of us shopped, a few went down to the water- front and others just wandered around. At the appointed time we returned to the bus laden with souvenirs and after passing the Customs Inspectors returned to the U. S. We then drove around sight-seeing, Ambassador bridge being the most outstanding thing we saw. Then we got off the bus in the heart of the city with two hours free time in which most of us went shopping while a few others took in a show. Around 9:30 that night we left Detroit and later stopped at a roadside restaurant for supper. We sleepily unloaded again at Irish Hills for a midnight snack and then boarded the bus for home. We were aroused from our slumbers about two o’clock upon reaching Garrett. We then headed for home and bed to dream of the wonderful time we had on our trip to Detroit. Joan Carlin and Sharon De Pew ‘49 At times I wish that I could be, A wave alone upon the sea. For alone out there, so very far, I would hitch my wagon to a star. I'd wish for things for everyone. And never stop till I had done, The thing I’ve always wished to do Make everyone feel as I do, too. To honor God in his domain, So we'd never fight a war again. Edward Kobiela RED LETTER DAYS IN S.J.

Mae Bell Myers INITIATION PARTY The initiation is one thing we will remember all through oar high school days. This is no exception for the class of “Fifty”. Their turn came in the fall of 1946. The date was set and soon the night came for the Freshmen. Their first ordeal was to wait calmly in the Junior-Senior roo until everything was ready. The girls didn’t get the full force of the initiation as much as the boys did. The girls were to go to the head of the stairs, take off their shoes, and go up. What came next was in the way of the initiation and we let our imaginations really go. The first thing in the hall the initiatee’s face was dampened and they were told to blow into a dish containing flour and in doing so the powder stuck. Other cere- monies were in the offing and soon a boy was brought up the stairs. The stunts went as planned but the only difference was, that, the boys un- willingly put their feet into a pan of boiled noodles. I wouldn’t want to know how this felt and don’t care to find out either! Soon everycne was a full-fledged student of good old S. J. H. But for a week after this they still looked like they were left over from a rummage sale. Richard Yanuszeski ‘48 CHRISTMAS PARTY That old Santa Claus really gets arcund. Hee he was at the Saint Joseph’s High School Chri stmas party. Everyone reccived a lovely gift, including the Sisters and Father. A large decorated Christmas tree adorned the center of the floor and the Christmas theme was carried throughout the party. A lovely lunch was served by the committee and everyone seemed to enjoy the dance and their visit from Saint Nick. Ginny and Elmer ‘49 HALLOWEEN PARTY The night was young, but we weren’t so beautiful in our blue jeans and plaid shirts. This was the night of the hay-ride, weiner roast, and dance. It was Halloween and the St. Joseph’s high school pupils were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the haywagon. Finally it came and everyone scrambled in and began singing songs and making noise with noise makers which the Juniors picked up somewhere along the way. “Bless their little hearts.” After jotting around the countryside awhile we arrived in our friendly neighboring town of Auburn. Here in Auburn we had a flat tire, “The luck of it all”. While the tire was being fixed some of the boys and girls went up-town for ice-cream cones and candy-bars. Finally we were ready to start again and everyone was anxious to get back to the campus for the weiner roast. After all ate their share of hot- dogs, which were exceptionally good that night, we dragged ourselves up the stairs and finished off our evening with a round of pop and dancing. Congratulations Committee, it was a wonderful Halloween Party ! Elmer and Ginny ‘49 SUMMER RAINS To clothe the earth in a cool green gown, When summer rains come silvering down, I wonder somet'mes if I may, Why Mother Nazure looks so gay! Richard Yansuszeski, ‘48 GLEE CLUB Nine glorius months ago three classes of anxious High School students walked into the famous hall of good old St. Joseph High. All their faces were filled with smiles of delight, for it was a late September morn, and they were to begin singing again with the Glee Club. The Freshmen were especially thrilled, for it was their first time singing with the Glee Club, but after they caught on to the rythm they enjoyed it. Now those nine happy months have passed, and the High School hopes that the grade school children enjoyed our happy voices ringing throughout the hall. But there are still many fond years remaining when the students of good old St. Joseph High will sing those glorious and enchanting songs in the Glee Club. Mary Lou Wilcox, ‘50 BUSY BEE CLUB The years of ‘46 and ‘47 brought many activities and improvements to S. J. H. through the Busy Bee Club. The club activities from initiation through to the Junior Prom were real successes and well attended by the student body. The dramatic, social and business abilities of the entire High School were aired to an advantage. The business affairs were not as plentiful this year as in other years; how- ever, the social functions were proportioned to them. The able officers of the first semester were: presi dent, Mary Young; vice-president, Richard Yanuszeski; secretary, Margaret Miller; treasurer, William Young; and business manager, Edward Kobiela. They were suc- ceeded in the second semester by: president, Richard Yanuszeski; vice- president, James Bonkoski; secretary, Bernard Muzzillo; tresurer, Mae Bell Myers; and business manager, Maynard Richter.
