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.

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.

Our Latin loomed as an insurmountable wall, but under the able teaching of Fr. Brew, S.J., we battered that barrier into nothingness. The efficient instruction of Mr. Messemer, fS.J., and Mr. Madigan, our Algebra and English teachers respectively, has converted the students of I-C into capable mathemati- cians and grammarians. Our treasury has sponsored several class- nights at which we all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly amidst sports and refreshments. Mention any of the school activities and you will find l-C men, with Redmond, John- son, and Mountin as outstanding athletes. The class officers are Daniel Mountin, Ralph Johnson, Edwin Latimer and Melvin Deale in the usual order. It has been a tough year, but may the next three be as happy, and may we make the most of them.
