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

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.

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
