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.

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.

Along with our privileges, we lD-ers had our prob- lems. Every morning it was around the room in 5 Minutes or bust in 4'Latin Voc drill. If we missed, we listened to Mr. Freeman's wrathful D-O-P or were advised to see the St. John's tailor for a fitting. English period with Fr. Hocking, S.J., brings mem- ories of halting recitations of the latest lines of The Merchant of Venice , extra points for l-Dispatch writers, and our attempts to crack the 93-barrier. And in His- tory class we often complained, Gee, Mr. Lerario, tryin' to'member who Tutonkhamen and Prammitichus was ain't easy! But, problems and all, Erat Bonissimus. Before the class begins, the officers of l-D discuss the day's coming activities with their home room teacher, Mr. Freeman.
