STRENGTH in RESERVE The class of ' 64, which will have the distinction of being the last class to graduate from St. Stephen High School, is acquiring strength in reserve. In keep- ing with the previous high standards of the school, the juniors are endeavoring to formulate moral standards and worth- while ideals to be able to cope intelli- gently and correctly with life ' s problems. In the pursuit of correct moral principles, the juniors realize that Christ belongs in every moment of their day. In a program of spiritual activities they learn the value of their supernatural life, and are given many opportunities of increasing it in their souls. This is the chief purpose in life. An expanding curriculum which endeav- ors to meet the modem demands in math- ematics and science helps the juniors to collect sufficient strength for the future. Responding to the nation ' s need for more and better qualified scientists, St. Step- en ' s offers to all a three-year course of study in the scientific field. This year, in the chemistry class, the juniors were able to gain an insight into the composition of matter and its physical and chemical reactions. In mathematics they strength- ened their foundations by the new, modern approach. New emphasis was placed on English, foreign languages, and the social sciences. Thus the juniors were given every chance to advance intellectually during the year. With no underclassmen to initiate, the juniors united their efforts to those of the seniors to make the year a memora- able one. Many opportunities were given them to display their abilities, initiative, and originality. Early in the year they showed their usual pep and ingenuity in the variety of decorated cars they entered in the homecoming parade. In addition they participated in the Area Talent Show, sponsored by the Student Council, and it was a junior who won first prize. In the Christmas holiday season, as in the re- mainder of the school year, there were various events to occupy their time and provide an outlet for their bubbling and inexhaustible energies. Junior officers, Jill Erickson, John Bower, Sharon Zimmer, and Ronald Horbes, make sure that the gym is locked after a fund raising dance. 15
