1959
1959-1.jpg (43097 bytes)
The team of '58 was one of the best in the history of the school. The team was not particularly heavy and it lacked impressive speed. But due to combination of coaching, teamwork, and determination the season was a success. The addition of Mr. John Dykal to the coaching staff was undoubtedly a great help to coach John Stoll. Although there were a few losses early in the season, the morale of the team was not weakened and the Eagles won their last 5 games in a row and captured both the Mid-Kentucky Conference and the Neslon County Championship.

Captain Fabian Rogers was outstanding on defense, as were Tom Gault and Randy Holtz-as proven by their rating of All-State Honorable Mention. As quarterback, Perry Carrico guided the Eagles with a steady hand. Charley Haydon, known for his fine word at end, made the all-conference team for the second year in a row. He and Perry also received the rating of All-State Honorable Mention.

The outstanding point of the Eagles was their defense and it played a great part in the best two games of the season-against E'town and OKHS.


1959-2.jpg (30459 bytes) For the first time in the history of the Prep music has become part of the curriculum. Through the efforts of Brother DeSales and our excellent music director, Mr. George Bucci, a band has been organized at St. Joe. The members are proud of their proficient ability in playing "On, You Eagles," "The Star Spangled Banner," and "The Saints Come Marching In." The band led by drummer Larry Downie and Saxophone Edward Bolser displayed their musical talents at the Father and Son Banquet and CSMC meeting. It has been announced that by next year's football season the newly organized musicians will be united into a marching unit capable of adding an interesting half time performance. In addition Mr. Bucci is conducting a beginners class for all those interested.

This year, for the third consecutive time, the St. Joe Drama Club, known as The Kenneth Players, won the State Drama Festival. Their play, The Devil and Daniel Webster, won not only the honor of being the best in the State but also the spontaneous acclaim of all who were present.

But winning the State was not by far the Alpha and Omega of a year's work. With the Play Festival at Christmas time and the Regional an overwhelming success, the fun of seeing a small group of boys and a few props take shape and come to life was a thrill that all who participated will not soon forget. Through the coaching ability of Brother Shawn and many laborious practices, the Kenneth Players reaped their deserving rewards.

1958 - homecoming.jpg (25625 bytes)
This year's homecoming was a memorable affair in the realm of school activities. It began with the last minute preparations of the four class floats. Then, swinging into the line of events, came the immense spirit and cooperation in the Pep Rally. A unanimous vote won the title of Homecoming Queen for Mary Catherine Hurst of Bethlehem Academy. Her court was composed of Jackie Kimberlin, also Bethlehem Academy, and Tippy Ballard of St. Catherine Academy. The Homecoming dance was one of the major highlights of  Homecoming Week. Presided over by the queen, the dance was attended by 85 couples. Although the homecoming was marred with our defeat by the E-town Tigers, the spirit, gayety, and enthusiasm of a St. Joe homecoming will always ring throughout the entire campus.

1954-6.jpg (38180 bytes)

THE CLASS OF 1954, WILL LONG REMEMBER -That our class began as Freshmen during the Holy Year of 1950. Our graduation year is also the Marian year. Thus did we start our years at the Prep dramatically and end it auspiciously under the aegis of Our Blessed Mother during a year especially dedicated to her by His Holiness, Pope Pius XII.

Another great event this year is the Centenary of the Xaverian Brothers in America. Back in 1854, the first band of pioneers under the direction of the Founder, Theodore James Ryken, Brother Francis Xavier, C.F.X., landed in Louisville. These were days of terror for the first Xaverians with armed thugs roaming the city bent on destruction of Catholic lives and property. While the Brothers began their teaching careers at St. Patrick's in Louisville, for a time they had to live in private homes because of danger to their lives. Here was planted the seed that blossomed into the many schools of the Brothers all over America and we are proud to be students of one of the finest of the Brothers schools, St. Joseph Prep.

Other cherished memories are-winning the state baseball title in'53, having Kenny Rapier an honorable mention on the S.C.K.C. team, Bill Reisert winning many coveted athletic honors and four of our seniors winning scholarships in the naval exams. In the financial department our seniors raised more money than any other class in the history of AZUWUR

Bottoms Up- say Dick Wimsett, Hinky Ball, Kenny Rapier, and Joe Ritchie as they exercise their taste buds in Brother Marius' canteen.

A BIG LINE and a fast backfield were the dreams come true of St. Joe this season. Averaging a 195-pound line and boasting Albright, Ball, Reisert and Feeney behind them, this St. Joe team completed one of its best seasons yet with a five win and three loss record.

BULLDOZING THRU-That is what Bill Reisert usually did when he toted the leather thru the enemy lines. Here he is in a typical shot, going over for a T.D. in the Glasgow game with three of the Glasgow Scotties trying hard to stop this human dynamo. Bill made history in this game by helping defeat Glasgow in an upset.

GENERAL STATEMENT

ST. JOSEPH'S COLLEGE of Bardstown, is a select Boarding and Day School for boys. It is conducted by the Xaverian Brothers, a religious Congregation whose members make the education of youth their life's work.

The aim of this College is to form Christian manhood by thorough education along literary, scientific, and religious lines.

The Catholic Church has ever been the unrelenting foe of ignorance; but while fostering education, she is insistent on the fact that as man is a spiritual, as well as an animal being, his education to be complete, must be moral, as well as intellectual and physical.

As morality derives its force from the conception of a Supreme Being, and as religion is but a manifestation of faith in God, the absurdity of divorcing moral principles from religious dogmas is readily seen: hence, education, to be moral, must be religious. Such is the Catholic view of education; and such is the aim of St. Joseph's College.

HISTORY Historically, St. Joseph's College is rich in traditions, memorable, dear, and holy, to the Catholic element of the South, especially of the State on whose soil it grew and prospered. The founding of St. Joseph's College is contemporaneous with the planting of the mustard seed of Catholicity in Kentucky.

Under the providence of the Almighty, the Catholics of Kentucky owe their religion to a band of priestly exiles who came to America, where they could follow in peace their divinely commissioned conquests of souls. Among that band was the pre-ordained Patriarch of the West, Benedict Joseph Flaget. Soon after his arrival, he was chosen for the newly established See of Bardstown.

After building a cathedral and a seminary, his unwearied mind and indefatigable hands found other work to do. True to the spirit of the holy Church, he realized the importance of higher education as the strong auxiliary in safeguarding the interests of the faith, and side by side, the former Cathedral of St. Joseph and St. Joseph's College stand. If the church looms to heaven as a monument to the zeal and peity of Kentucky's first bishop, the college is no less a tribute to his devotedness and many sided activities, and both will redound to his glory ages after their material construction shall have mingled with the elements.

In 1819, St. Joseph's College first opened its doors to the youth of Bardstown with the Rev. George Elder as President. Later the conditions were such as to permit the taking of boarders. The College grew in numbers and popularity under the direction of the clergy of the diocese until 1848, when, owing to the scarcity of priests, Bishop Flaget placed it under the management of the fathers of the Society of Jesus. Under the control of the Jesuits, St. Joseph's continued to exert its influence for good in the cause of education. In 1868, they relinquished the charge and the institution again passed under diocesan control, and continued its career of usefulness until 1889, when owing to circumstances over which the management had no control, St. Joseph's reluctantly closed its doors. IN 1911, the College was acquired by the Xaverian Brothers and reopened by them in the fall of that year.

LOCATION St. Joseph's College is situated within the Western boundary of the quiet residential city of Bardstown. It is about thirty-nine miles from Louisville and is easily reached by bus.
