1939 Joseph Butchko, Army Flyer Joseph Butchko, a graduate of St. Philip and St. James' High School with the class of '36 is carrying the banner of Parochial High on his long march in the ranks of the United States Army Air Corps. He is now iilling the position of Bombardier at Langly Field, Virginia, and participated in the recent war maneuvers. He has visited the Senior and Junior classes of Sts. Philip and James' High School on several occasions and has given very interesting talks on Army life to the boys. He is most enthusiastic about the work that the United States Government is doing for the youth of the country. Joe as he is better known, inspired many of us with the desire to join the service. The educational and social advantages he particularly emphasized, medical and dental care, as well as good eats. I sincerely hope that some of the Class of '39 will follow the example of Joseph Butchko. JAMES GARNET FORTY SIX Scholastic

These four reasons would help any boy to succeed in his vocation whether Merchant, Lawyer, Doctor or Priest. WILLIAM KIRGAN FORTY FIVE
