Bellwoar, S.J., we began our school life at Gonzaga. He introduced us to Latin, English, and History, and we soon understood the difference between conjugation and de- clension, Mr. Arbuckle took over the field of Algebra, and under his watchful care we were soon progressing rapidly in Mathematics. In October, when the feelings of strange- ness and timidity had deported, we held a class meeting and elected officers. Robert Falabella, John Kleinstuber, Donald l..azas, James Colliton received the favor of our vote. The class was always quick to take part in all the intramural sports, and from l-A came members of the freshman basketball, also the winners of the bowling tourna- ment. Many were in the extra-curricular activ- ities, including the Aquilian, the debating so- ciety, the sodality and the K.B.S. Mass. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our teachers for helping us to right- fully take our place among our fellow Gonzag- ans, and we know that we shall live up to the standards, which they have made known to us in the past months. Our class motto: Palma non sine pulvere.

Last September the familiar door ot the 2-E classroom closed once and for all on the memories of the summer vacation. Forty boys, from all sections of Washington, sat in tense anticipation of a new school year. Since then we have travelled the intricate roads to better Latin and English, and we have delved into the fascinating problems of Geometry, History, and Religion. Under the guidance of Mr. John MCC-ee, S.J., we followed Caesar in his Gallic Wars and reaped the harvest of our English classics. lvlr. Charles Lehmkuhl, S.J., trained us in the efficient logic of Geo- metry, while Father Michael Kavanagh, S. J. and Mr. Joseph Kozik revealed to us respec- ,tively the doctrines of our great Catholic heritage, and the deeds and conquests of the men of ancient times. Though 2-E may be the last Sophomore class alphabetically, it is numbered among the first in participation in the affairs of Gonzaga. The class officers, John Callaghan, President, Bernard Gatti, Vice-President, Wil- liam' De Chard, Secretary, and Joseph Storer, Treasurer, plus the recently elected Athletic Director, Harvey Lowe, have fostered and en- couraged a class spirit which made this year a very pleasant one for all of the class mem- bers. The men of 2-E have been worthily rep- resented in the Sodality, K.B.S., the Band, the Varsity and Junior Varsity football teams, and intramural sports. Thus, as the year nears its completion, we are proud to state that the class has achieved the social and scholastic goals which Gonzaga sets for her Sophomore class, and has come to the realization of the inestimable benefits bestowed by the curri- culum at Gonzaga.

Father Baldwin, S.J., taught us Latin, English, History, and Religion during the first semester. By the fourth day we were well on our way to a successful year. Mr. Charles Lehmkuhl, S.J., was our Math teacher through the first term. When we had gotten to know one another, Fr. Baldwin suggested that we elect class of- ficers. Bill Hitselberger, James McMahon, Bob Gleason and Pat Cassidy rode in on a wave of votes to be elected respectively, president, vice-president, scretary and treas- urer, The first half-year sped by quickly with all the boys coming through with flying colors. We started the second semester -with new teachers, Fr. Stoeffel, S.J., and Mr. Neu, S.J. During the year the class members held three class nights, which we enthusiastically enjoyed. l-B has taken an active part in debates, with a few boys outstanding speak- ers. ln the lntrmurals. George Smoot has led the basketball team to the top. l-B fought her way to the finals, but was defeated there by l-F. The Junior Varsity basketball team enjoyed the loyal following of I-B, backing the attack for Gonzaga.
