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

1939 Radio Club Exhibit Goes to Duquesne University ln January, Duquesne University extended an invitation to our club spon- sor, Sister Mary Ruth, to prepare a project which would show the work our club was doing in science. Although our Fathers' Night exhibit was completed we wanted to make this new one bigger and better. Again we went to work early and late, school days and holidays, and on February eighteenth we packed thirty charts and twenty-three sets for the journey across Pennsylvania, Although there were no prizes offered by the college, the letter received from Mr. Muldoon. Director of the Science Conference, gave us a glorious feeling. lt is impossible to state all of his letter so I quote in part. We are very sure you would have been proud of your exhibit last week. It was the outstanding single exhibit on display and attracted much favorable attention and comment. We arranged to operate several of the radios during the exhibition hours. Because of its size our photographer was unable to get a complete picture. Rlvo BARTOLACCI FORTY EIGHT Scholastic
