Christmas Christmas means many different things to many different people--a tree that is brightly decorated, presents given and received, gatherings of family and friends from near and far, special remembrance of our Savior King. And the meaning of each of these and many more are highlighted at the annual Christmas Concert.

Twas the last school day before Christmas And all through the gym bleachers No one was happier than the school teachers. 'When up on the balcony rose such a clatter, We all looked up to see what was the matter. When who to our wondering eyes should appear Good old St. Nick. . . Would you believe Father Rick? He said not a word, but went straight to his work 111l'0wing candy over the balcony with one big jerk. And we heard him call as he ran down the hall, Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

The St. Joseph's Talent Show was exactly that, a talent show. It had everything ranging from singing to dancing to just good 01' slap-stick comedy. I t proved to be a show of real ability and entertainment for all. The money raised went to the Archdioceasan Mission Fund.

The Ticket Rally Race
Was On ...
18
The "Freshmen Dw arfs" took an early start at the first rally. However, after the "Sophomore Haunted House Expedition" they were still in the lead. But up came the third rally and the Juniors broke ahead. To the fourth rally came the "Leader of the Pack" and so were the Seniors. Then the fifth and final rally showed the Juniors breaking "Tradition" to win the race by cents. The Juniors weren't just "fiddling on the roof" and the Seniors are still depending on "the matchmaker"!

Festival season comes at a time of the year when things are starting to get dull. With a weekend full of games and things and the renewing of old acquaintances, it is easy to see why everyone works to raise money to keep St. Joe going year after year. The festival breathes new life financially and spiritwise.
All the ' world's a stage . . . From make-up to lights to scenery everyone in Speech II rose to the occasion. Yes, it was a thrill to write and produce original one-act plays. It was hard work , too. The spotlight, laughter and applause of the student audience made it all worthwhile. No star was born, but everyone twinkled from the new experience that only a stage can offer.

Awards Day Tuesday, June 5, 1973, not only was the concluding day for the 1972-73 school year, but also the day of awards for the Fre shmen, Sophomores, and Juniors. It was the day when a whole year's hard work and endeavors were recognized with pins and ribbons by the whole school. Awards were given for variou s sports, biology, typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, algebra, etc . It was a day of great accomplishments.

Volleyball The second year of power volleyball was a OIg success, The POWER of hitting the ball over the net is a great challenge compared to the old ways of volleyball. However, the POWER of keeping yourself involved in the game, the POWER of keeping your patience and the POWER of good sportsmanship made the volleyball team the success it was.
28
Basketball Sink it! Sink it! Sink it! Basketball not only requires much energy to keep pace, it requires a team working together. Sportsmanship is another important factor to the game as in any sport. A lthough the basketball team only walked away with five victories, the sportsmanship of the team made the bad games much easier to acc;ept. There were a few aggravating moments and, indeed, a few arguments at the games, but in the end it was well worth it.

lVashington to New York You can always tell a tourist. The cameras are a dead giveaway. The Seniors found New York a big place, but had to laugh when they were prepared for a "mad" subway rush only to find the cars almost empty. God bless Mr. Shanesy for his itinerary!

"You are a child of the Universe" echoed the theme as the Sophomores served the Seniors a graduation breakfast. Each girl felt unique because her zodiac place card was especially designed for her. The class will and future predictions were read. And to think, we talked about FUTURE SHOCK!
Mass of Memories Parents and friends gathered with the Class of '73 to thank God for the past and to ask blessing for the Future. The slide presentation of the song "Turn, Turn, Turn" added food for thought .

It Was the Senior's Day There were lovely smiles as Sister Kathleen presented scholarships, merit pins, trophies and various other awards to outstanding Seniors. The Seniors gave the school some much needed gymnastic equipment and a scoreboard. Voices trembled in song and as the Freshmen presented their big sisters with yellow carnations, all formality stopped. Hugs and tears took over the occasion.
May 27,1973 "Today is the first day of the rest of your life. " These words written' by Dag Hammershold best express the thoughts and feelings of the class of 1973 •••• We have waited for and learned only some of the lessons of life. And our learning will never cease. As mature young women we realize the more we learn the more we have yet to learn. It is a life long process. Valedictorian Colleen Shanesy '73

As underclassmen, St. Joe's was uifferent. It seemed strange. However as Juniors, we have adapted to a school full of electric typewriters, adding machines and at last, but not least, the Steno-lab. We think back of the past two years, and look forward to the one final year ahead .

Teddy Bear Philosophy
Joy and Peace struggle with anxiety as the Sophomores reach out for the meaning of St. Joseph. It's more than rah-rah. It really means people. That's pretty good reasoning and good "teddy-bear philosophy."

Scene In winter, when the fields are white, I sing this song for your delight-In spring, when woods are getting green, I'll try and tell you what I mean. In summer, when the days are long, Perhaps you'll understand the song: In autumn, when the leaves are brown Take pen and ink, and write it down. Lewis Carroll

I would not exchange the laughter of my heart for the fortunes of the multitudes; nor would I be content with converting my tears, invited by my agonized self, into caIrn. It is my fervent hope that my whole life on earth will ever be tears and laughter. _Gibran

The purpose of education is to provide everyone with the opportunity to learn how best he may serve the world. _Apples of Gold Womanhood, not scholarship , is the first aim of education. -Apples of Gold
I meant to do my Work today __ But a brown bird sang in an apple tree, And a butterfly flitted across the field, And all the leaves were calling me. And the wind went sighing over the land, Tossing the grasses to and fro, And a rainbow held out its shining hand __ So what could I do but laugh and go? -Richard Le Gallienne
71
Silly Sophomores? Sophomores seem so silly. Is it just a phase? Maybe, but not always. They have some pretty good ideas, such as making a Greek meal, giving musicals and making their own movies! Between all this, they still have time to find out how fast they can't type, or how confused they really are in Geometry, or how many religions really exist in this world of ours!

Spirit Spirit Spirit Spirit 路 Spirited and free, the new breed Freshmen entered St. Joseph's. The yellow and gold took on a new hue and everyone observing said, "That's the spirit!" Tradition is tempered and a positive liberation is taking place.

Oh, the Frosh! Straight from grade school, they soon find out what high school life is like. Besides regular classes like English and Religion, they begin learning El Espanol and enter the world of biology with all its plants and animals, films and field trips, and the long awaited bisecting of the frogs!
As Seniors leave, freshmen follow with their inexperiences, happys and sorrows. Though the Seniors treat us very rough, we stand our ground and act really tough. The end of the year is growing near. Our big sisters leave and then comes a tear-- Wow! It really was a terrific year. A '76 Writer

It's strange how a lOa-page book looks so simple and so easy to put together. However, the choosing of what picture goes where and how large or small to make it, not to mention the time it takes, makes the lOa-page "simple" book so much more. When you are in charge of that book, it makes it special, not only for others to look at and remember, but for yourself. You feel the responsibility because you want it to be good, and when it is, the long hours and the many other problems involved in making a yearbook seem so well worth it. It is impossible for any two people to combine a book like this. It takes so many others working together and staying together, even when things look bad. That is why we would like to offer our special thanks to Sister Ruth al1d Miss Wildenhaus for the time and effort they both put into this book. Along with them, thanks goes to our parents for the many nights they were stranded while the family car was in the St. Joe parking lot. The yearbook staff deserves many thanks also for all their time, thinking, and planning to make it a good book. We would also like to thank MI'. Charlie Miller, yearbook consultant, for his help with the small unnoticed, but important things in adding the finishing touches to the yearbook. Along with these people, we are grateful to Logan Studio for being here to get the important pictures, action shots for our sports, and the everyday pictures. A special thanks again to everyone. Anita Ballweg and Kathy Krowialis Co-Editors
