NEWSPAPER Under the direction of Mr. Platko, the Falcon News develops a stuclent's interest in iournalism. The main goal of the news- paper is to promote school news to the student body. Putting out a newspaper re- quires a tremendous amount of work, especially on Saturdays. For this reason we honor the Falcon News, even though it is the yearbook's greatest rival. Head photographer, Tom Schirripa prepares to take more of his famous pictures

ACTIVITIES At 2:50 P.M. each weekday, a bell echoes through the halls ot St. Joseph's, immediately followed by a large, collective sigh from all the classes. lt iust so happens that this bell at 2:50 is the dismissal bell, and everyone, students and teachers alike, are all glad that another day of arduous learning has come to an end. i -However, the bell does not start a mass migration towards cars and buses to go home. Instead, many students stay at school to participate in some extra- curricular activity, an activity that relaxes the student and gives him a sense of accomplishment. More than eight hundred intelligent students attend St. Joe's, and the interests ot these active youngsters are many and varied. As the goal of a St. Joseph's education is to develop the tull man, there must be some activity to ,satisfy the interests of each and every student. As a result, over the years, new activ- ities have sprung up where they were needed, and today there are some twenty clubs and organizations, including language and science clubs, publications and debate and numerous others. Here we wish to present toyou a picture story of these activities, a story to show the goals and accom- plishments of these worthwhile groups.
