The School ls Alive With the Sound of the Band It has been said that music hath charms to soothe the savage beast, and since St. Joe's has more than its share of savage beasts, it seems only logical that we have some music. Mr. Arthur Braga and his annex- based musicians amply supply this need. In the splen- did isolation of the band room, they practice their art that makes even the rocks move, and represent St. Joes in various local functions and parades. The band also entertains the school itself, at assemblies and a select few of bandmen perform, for the enjoy- ment of the crowd, at our basketball games. ! Wayne Behr puts his faithful clarinet through its paces. 120 The student body performs for the band at a pep rally Mr. Braga leads his musical myrmiclons in one of their rehearsals.

l Who's number one? St. joe's. ' - A fire in the SCh00l. Being rowdy: a St. joe's tradition. GGG1'een Powerw Falcon pirit Second to one St. -I0e's is a county powerhouse in virtually every sport, from swimming to soccer. But not everyone can participate in varsity sports, so every year, especially from December to March, the newspaper crew crawls out of their hole in the wall, the actors descend from the stage, even the Wraith-like yearbook staff appears, and most everyone aims their sights at the gym here and others elsewhere to show it like it is in as orderly a manner as possible for the support of our capable teams. These few photos should convey a subtle impression of where it's at. A select group of band letterrnen play The Saints, the schools unofficial fight song, and other selections at half-time in the gym.
