The big news around SJA lately has, of course, been Spring Festival. After various warnings from Juniors and Sr. Frances Louise regarding the presence of reptiles in the gym. Seniors didn’t know whether or not they ought to attend. The Freshmen, Juniors, and Sophomores did indeed fulfill thier desire to make this the best Spring Festival in the history of SJA. The decorations were beautiful, 'who would have dreamed that our gym could be transformed into a Grecian Temple? The entertainment was also excellent, the Sophomores were as agile as the Grecian nymphs they sought to portray and as lovely as any of the godesses whom the Greeks believed in. The dance was made twice as enjoyable by the refreshments supplied by the Fresh men it was one night when no one worried about calories, ( and a good thing, too, brownies aren't exactly diet food.) Juniors and Seniors carried on the Greek influence by drinking their nectar (punch) from goblets (champagne glasses, really) inscribed with the school’s initials and the appropriate year of graduation, which they were gifted with as rememberances of the evening.
Juniors held their bonfire on the beach May 9 to celebrate the success of Spring Festival decorations. It’s been said that Medusa, and Zeus were among those present.
Sister Frances Louise’s homeroom was turned into a modern art gallery when Senior English Students exhibited their masterpieces. The assignment was to transform one of the works of prose or poetry into another art medium, and the results were fantastic, ranging from original compositions on the piano, to collages, to mobiles, to paintings, with an original* poem thrown in to rival Lewis Carroll.

There was a school
As one approaches the dignified establishment known as St. Joseph Academy, she might miss its inner workings because of its worthy outward appearances.
The buildings aren’t falling down as rapidly as one might think, for an emergency crew is called only every other day or so to repair falling plaster.
The antiquated electrical system is perhaps adequate, since two out of nine messages sent over the intercom are distinguishable.
The pest population seems to be at a standstill. Just last week the exterminator reached the third floor before the cavalry of termites drove him away.
These are little things...things which endear S.J.A. to all her students.
