I-Ji The wooden floors vibrated a familiar sound as we boys of 1-B made a climb we would be making quite often in the future. The eight years passed had been spent in preparation for what was coming and it was with high expectation that we went to meet our future. As the year progressed under the direction of our s teachers, Mr. McCloskey, S.J., Mr. Lerario, and Mr. Mfhitcornb, we found that our expectations had been true to form with plenty of hard work mixed with fun to make' the painful process of learning easier. t Early in the year we selected our student leaders, G. Deacon, president, E. Earley, vice-president, J. Ober- dorf, secretaryg and Sheehan, treasurer, who proved very capable leaders in class spirit that resulted in men joining the Sodality and many other extra-curricular activities. In the future when we look back at our years at Gon- zaga we hope to see many prominent Catholic leaders who had their start in l-B. Mr. McCloskey, S.J., demonstrates the method of stressing V an important point in Public Speaking to E. Earley and J. Haardt.

We remember walking down Eye Street that day, last September. Before us loomed a strange new life, far l different from the carefree days of grammar school. It l hardly seemed possible, then, that we could ever belong to Gonzaga as the upper classmen did. l But now, as we finish our first year, we already feel T as if we belong to Gonzaga and Gonzaga to us. One big reason we feel this way is our teachers: Mr. Fahy, our homeroom teacher and our mentor of Religion and 1 Latin, Mr. Greene, S.J., Math and Speechg Mr. McCloskey, Englishg and Mr. Lerario, our History teachers. Another reason is a very able group of class ofhcersz R. Manasseri, our presidentg R. Calgaro, vice- presidentg S. Zarechnak, treasurer, and C. Downey, our secretary. l All these men and boys have combined their talents to make our class live with school spirit and a slogan l come true, All the Way with 1-A. During a class meeting, R. Manasseri, class president, lis- tens to a suggestion from a classmate while Mr. Fahy looks on. First Row: T. O'Connor, A. Brown, J. Bennett, J. Carroll, Mr. XV. L. Fahy, T. Ryan, J. Kilduff, J.

I-C , Assembling in September from places as distant as Okinawa and Berlin, by Christmas we had already lost one globe-trotter, but our copies of the Won-Cee Wild- cat will remind us of all we shared together-of those Fierce Latin games fwith Scribo Crosby listing the touchbacksjg of Club Ninety-Four, and Christmas Anti- freeze Assignments, and R-L-M rankings, of Mr. Whit- comb's infinite patience, and Mr. Lerario's history de- bates. What pain it was on class nights to tear ourselves from basketball in order to stoke away the royal ban- quets our parents served us! In the spirit of our prayer, My Jesus, help me to give You my best, we worked hard, and one month we earned twenty-nine honor cards. We groaned to- gether in failure and cheered together in success. We were more like brothers than most brothers, and we look forward to lifelong friendships begun at Gonzaga, 1-C. P. Degnan and J. Brady alternate recitations in a Latin game, while opposing score keepers, D. Matthews and T. Macchio, count up the points.
