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.

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.

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
