44011, M011 The Sophomores . ,,g e 11 . g ' .L A 'FQ J za- 5 Q EVENGE is sweet! And how,'l as most sophomores will tell. It certainly is, for it was just one year ago that we were so royally entertained by the Class of '42, This year it was our turn to bring the paddles, lipstick, nail polish and electric shoclcers. Attention, pleasel If it is the ideal class that you are seelcing, scholarly, energetic and loyal, seelc no further. After having been called to order by Fr. Jerome, our moderator and having elected the following ofhcers: John Vvagaslcy, president, Edward Walsh, vice-president, Robert Gruss, secretary-treasurer, we changed tradition by holding an initiation week instead of an initiation day. In this way we intended to accomplish more things? Father Rector, however, soon declared our ruling unconstitutional. Enough is enough, to quote his very words. As the Sophomore Class, we were well represented on the honor roll as well as on the extra- curricular activities. On the honor roll it was Edward Tomko and Edward Gotchg in football it was John Wagasky, Bob Gruss, Eugene Vavro and james Estergallg in basketball it was George Kepicg in baseball it was again Bob Gruss and jim Estergall. Though we're still undetclassmen, there is no fear that the schoolls extra-curricular activities will lack material in future years. For already we have shown capability and leadership. The Whirlo, The Benedictine, The Orchestra, The Glee Club, Dramatics, Tax Stamp Drive, all particularly show our potentialities. As the year is closing we are preparing to become uppereclassmen. We pledge, by that class spirit, which has been prevelant during our freshman and sophomore years, to uphold the traditions and standards of Benedictine established by the preceeding upper-classes, when we ourselves attain that desired rank.

Www ,A . at 1 'l ' QI if '-J M . The Freshmen 2 f W i w.. I 4 . 905 A '-T , gr, .-J' t HE FIRST day of school! Largest class enrolls! First tuition payment. Up to the bool:-store. Now where? Finally, we are separated into our respective classrooms, and the year begins. Fr. Dominic explains to us the organization of the class. As advice and suggestions come thick and fast, our moderator warns us against the 'rsliclcersf' who would be distributing second-hand books. Wfe are prepared. Encounter the book-sellers, fabulous prices are aslced, flat refusals are given, there is a show of disappointment and sliclccr sophs slouch out, mur- muring something or other. Wfe realize our hrst victory. Activities commence immediately with the election of the class officers. F. Berry is chosen as president. A. Tower clinches the vice presidency. Our secretarial worl: is placed in the capable hands of F. Urban. And our financial worries are handed over to l.. Franko. Acquaintances are formed. Studies begin. The call for Reserve football. The tryouts. T. Shisila, Porac, A. Miiidzora, K. Kniola, A. Tower, and Olearcilc are accepted. Then the exams. Wfhat a surprise-not pleasant, either! These aren't like we had last year in grammar schoolf But our quality became evident when two of our classmen, B. Kitlio and hiirlca, lad the rest of the school in all honors. Wfe have been paying particular attention to the activities of the Sophomorcs. Our time will comel Cur interest in school activities is noticed everywhere. The Annual, The Pan-American Rafiie, all show results of our efforts. Ali! Basketball tryouts. Shisila, -Iasionowslci, Harchar, Zolnowslci, Daley, Porac, Pillar, Lcsialc, Gongas, and Sabol, all place successful applications for the frosh team, while Ken Kniola has a berth with the Reserves. Christmas Vacation. Mid-year exams. Then third quarterlies, strange rumors of our becoming Sophomores begin to circulate, others referring to left-behindw froth make us wonder, so we decide to plow through more pages of Nstufif, Spring! But no time for char spring-feverfy Fervent study for these finals. it's now or never. No one wastes a minute. Let the fun wait fill vacation!
