The Class of 1947 entered Archmere on September 13, 1943, to begin their prep school careers. Though they started off on the right foot by attending the annual Mass of the Holy Ghost celebrated by the Very Rev, D. F. Hur' ley, O.Praem., in the Chapel, still it took a few weeks to become acclimated to Archmerian customs and to wear off the irritations that were the upperclassmen. Fortunately Father R. Blecha was the moderator for the class, whose officers were Jim Cavanaugh, Don lvlonigle, Chas. Cutberlet, jack Burr and Bill Shields. A young and inspired squad of gridiron warriors an' swered the call for a midget football team, basketball and baseball also found them ready for competition. The class is splendidly represented in the Phi Sigma Alpha and on the Green Arch and in the select group which is the Junior PATIO staff, as well as in other student activities. They wish to express their gratitude to the Faculty for a very happy year. I 6 REV. j. R. BLECHA, O.PRAEM

This ambition was quite fruitful, too, for many prominent Hgures in the field of sports and scholastics came forth from the Sophs. Diligent scholars, such as Donn Devine, John Kelly, and Francis Filliben have represented their class on the honor roll, while Johnny Wilscnn, Tom Nester, Jim johnson, and Bernie Fagan highlighted the Basketball, Football, and Baseball teams. When the new term opened several newcomers were seen. John Daley, Laine Santa Maria, and Robert Pacyna proved valuable additions to their class. The sophomores chose, for their oilicers, Francis Fil' liben as president, Thomas Nester, vicefpresidentg john McLaughlin, secretary, and jimmy johnson, treasurer. All activities were entered into with utmost enthusif asm. Debate Society are John McLaughlin, John Kelly, and Donn Devine, with John Kane and Bill Hutchison in the Orchestra, and several other sophomores filling the draf matics club. The Sophomores' record under Father Toonen's tute- lage so far is certain proof that as upperclassmen they will be even more outstanding. !5

Boasting the largest subffreshman roster yet to at' tend Archmere, this year's First and Second Forms claim to he the liveliest group in school. In all activities, whether scholastic, athletic, or social, the suhffrosh have taken a part out of all proportion to their size. Consistently repref sented on the honor roll by Ivlonigle, Allen, and Berl they also supplied much of the manpower of the various midget teams which Father Blecha organized. Separated in their classes into two forms, still they act as a corporate body in relation to the rest of the school and consequently have one moderator, Fr. Demerath, between them and it is he to whom much of their unity and spirit must he atttrihuted. There are three distinct sets of class officers in Forms One and Two, and this was the source of much fun and fight in political campaigning. For the whole group Art Monigle is President, Quillen, VicefPresi- dent, P. Desmond, Secretary, D. Fillingame, Treasurer. For Form II R. Allen, J. Quillen, A. Monigle, P. Desmond are the officers respectively, and for Form I the following: P. Buckley, A. Thompson, D. Berl, !7
