The Year of Challenge In . ACTIVITIES In addition to the regular academics — which alone would suffice to keep a student profitably busy — St. Joseph ' s offers a maze of extra-curriculars. The range is from debate to fine arts to sec- retarial practice. There ' s something for even the most dis- criminating chooser. What ' s more, in on efFort to appeal to each avocation, the list of activities grows constantly longer.

The year 1962-63 was a long, interesting one for St. Joseph ' s bond, one full of musical activity. At the end of the summer, un- der the able direction of Mr. James Reith, regular marching prac- tices began the preporotion for the many football gomes ond as- semblies, climaxed at the centrol gome with the presentation of a Civil War pre-game show, complete with o rooring canon. With October come the chance to play for President Kennedy at o political roily in Indianapolis — at least half of the bond members got to shake hands with the President! The band then marched in the Mishowako Ur ited Nations Day parade, and ended the month with o concert for the annual Teacher ' s Institute. November was highlighted with the Diocesan music contest, where several members won prizes. The musically successful Christ- mas concert took place on December 19. Many of the band mem- bers also placed first, second, or third in their respective musical categories in the district ond state solo and ensemble contests held in February. Another first was scored in the exchange visit with Fort Wayne Central Catholic concert band. The bond also participoted in the Northern Indiana State Band Contest. The yeor ended on a note of expectancy with the campaigns and election of new officers, and a flurry of octivity in the pre- sentation of the formal Spring Concert, the marching in the Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day parades, and the final concert at graduation. 24
