Top Row: J. Hitselberger, R. Gordon, T. O'Connor, W. Stohlman, L. Reilly, J. Snight, J. Curry. Second Row: J. Burnett, J. Burke, J. McCullough, J. Winkler, B. Connelly, R. Handy, J. Judge. First Row: J. Stephenson, J. McGrath, T. McMahon, R. Redmond, Fr. Coolahan, S. J., J. App, A. Emory, T. Pekin, E. Healy. After ascending the three long flights of stairs which lead to Three-B, we were greeted by our teachers, Fr. Coolahan, S.J., who made Latin and English interesting, Fr. Reardon, S.J., who helped us solve our algebra and trig problems, and Mr. Snee, S.J., who built on the German foundations which he laid dur- ing our Sophomore year. We then settled down to a year of work and happiness. The class rates so high scholastically that to list the honor men would be to go far be- yond the limits of this page. But we of Three- B were not entirely engrossed in our studies, for many of our number participated in sports and extra-curricular activities. Joseph App, John McMahon and Richard Redmond repre- sented us on the Varsity Football Team, as did Edward Healy and Joseph McGrath on the Varsity Basketball Team. Richard Cordon was an active deboter and actor, and Joseph Judge wrote the popular G-Men column in the Aquilian. ' ln conclusion, we offer our gratitude to our teachers for their patient, relentless efforts on our behalf, and we voice the wish that we will again be united in our senior year.

They delved into Religion, Latin and Eng- lish under the guiding hand of Fr. McKay, S.J. Their knowledge of French was increased by Fr. Horigan, S.J., as professor. Mr. Neu, S.J., carried them through numbers, formulae, and unknowns. As electives, some chose Chemis- try, others Ancient History, while, others added Greek to their intellectual diet. ' Early in the year the class chose as officers, Jack Yetter, President, Jack Pyne, Vice-Presi- I dent and Johnny Marion, Secretary-Treasurer. During the year, Three-A boasted of her success in extra-curricular activities. ln sports, she could be proud of her members of the varsity Football squad and varsity Basketball team. Many participated in intramural sports and kept the Three-A teams incessantly among the winners. Three-A vaunted her talented students, who lent their ability to the school newspaper, de- bating, sodality, and the band and other ac- tivities. The outstanding spirit of the class was evident in all its undertakings.

Snee, S.J., the French and German teachers, added fur- ther toil. The electives, taught by Fr. McKay, S.J., Fr. Coolahan, S.J., Mr. Neu, S.J., and Mr. Lehmkuhl, S. J., filled out the rest of our schedule Elections appointed Pettit, Logan, Gardiner, and McDonald as class officers. Mil- ler, Warren, Shanley, McGruder, and Gard- iner ran wild on the gridiron, while Sparacino and Creamer aided the Eagles' fives Still others graced the columns of the Aquiliun As participants in intra-murals, we managed to capture a few championships. Three-C also took a hearty interest in its numerous activi- ties and religious functions. As a finale, let us recall the most important subject - our education: perhaps all did not receive the highest of scholastic ratings, but instilled in one and all were the seeds of Catholicity, citizenry, knowledge and manhood. We shall be ever grateful to our teachers and the entire faculty. Next stop, fourth year!
