Sophomore Class History After eight years of preparation the forces of the 49th division met under the leadership of John Virden and his able assistant, Maynard Richter, met the veteran enemy forces led by Sister M. 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

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.
