GREAT YEAR In the first week of school year number eleven at St. Joseph ' s, 1663 students attended the Holy Mass offered by Father Vrobely in the gym. The Mass of the Holy Spirit implored God ' s help for the coming year. In his sermon Father John said that we were here to work. Shape up or ship out, was the warn- ing. Most everybody shaped up and consequently fashioned a great year. In academics we performed capably— furnishing two National Merit Scholarship semi-finalists, pro- viding tight races for the top spots in each class- ranking, and winning scholarships and academic prizes. With thirty-four extra-curricular activities awaiting us, we filled the post-school hours. Club projects soared in number and enthusiasm as class- room energy leaked into other areas. This year ' s Science Fair activity as well as the for- mal dances were organized by the students them- selves. In the sportlight, we enjoyed our fourth con- secutive winning season in football. Pep rallies reached feverish pitch as wins heavily outweighed losses. Basketball followed this example and great interest spread to our spring sports. Yes, we think that ' 64 was a great year!

AS A RELIGIOUS TEACHER. To Brother Reginald ... WE OF THE 1964 HI-WAY STAFF DEDICATE THIS BOOK . . . Last year St. Joseph ' s celebrated its Tenth Anni- versary, and the story of St. Joe is in a real sense the story of Brother Reginald. He is our founder, our pa- triarch. His tenure of dedicated service stretches from the ground-breaking on October 29, 1952, until the present date. Although Brother was Principal from the beginning until his replacement by Brother James Linscott this past fall, he still continues on the faculty as a teacher of mathematics, his speciality. Brother ' s decade saw St. Joseph ' s march forward with giant strides. Enrollment more than doubled— from 700 in 1953 to 1650 in 1963. St. Joe last year was second among South Bend ' s high schools in the number of Merit Scholarship semi-finalists. In sports, our Indians con more than hold their own with the great teams of Indiana. Brother Reginald guided St, Joe with a sure hand. He was a thoroughly efficient administrator. His un- usual memory enabled him to keep straight the myr- iad details necessitated by big-school business. Out- wardly serious and even severe, underneath Brother was possesed of a big heart. The 1964 HI-WAY, in the name of the entire stu- dent body, offers Brother Reginald humble thanks, and extends the best of wishes for the future. AS ADMINISTRATOR.
