CLASS HISTORY Of all the senior classes to graduate from C.B.A. on University Heights, the Class of l949 enjoys probably one of the most illustrious four year suc- cess stories. As a Htting introduction to this class history, it is well to note that this year's class is the first graduated in the Christian Brothers schools in the second century of their work in the United States. Let us also be cognizant of the fact that the Class of '49 is the first class to go through four years of peace after the Second WYorld VVar, In view of these two significant facts and in their light let us see what H8 seniors have done with their four years at One De La Salle Road. None of us will ever forget that first day at C.B.A. We all stood out in front of the school and listened to the words of the late Brother Aloysius. We can visualize being assigned to our classrooms. These five rooms on the first fioor contained all the boys whom we would some day come to know and love. For many of us the problem of adjust- ment was tremendous, for others, a matter of course. It took us a very short time to learn the meaning of demerits, on guard, as you were and plebe. Wfe soon showed our colors in the Athletic Drive. The freshmen did a bang-up job on that as well as on the mite box drive. We soon got into activi- ties such as the rifie team, track team, freshman basketball, football and baseball, as well as the glee club and school band. IVe had a new experience in interclass boxing and the school cross country meet. Near the end of our freshman year many of us had our first taste of dramatics under Mr. Murphy. In june of that year we presented Shake- speare's hjulius Caesar . Those of us who were in that presentation will not soon forget it. Yes, that freshman year was indeed a memorable one. When the summer recess was at hand we felt that we had really become a vital cog in the C.B.A. regiment, in its social life, sports life and scholastic structure. We were then full-fledged C.B.A. cadets. Having completed our freshman year, we, the Class of '49, happily embarked upon our summer v vacation. But a dark cloud was to overshadow our happy days, for on August the first, nineteen hundred and forty-six, our beloved director, Brother Aloysius, passed on to his heavenly reward. With the advent of the Sophomore year, most of us were immediately plunged into the trials and vicissitudes of Latin II and plane geometry. VVL' started this second year with many empty spots in our ranks. The real blow was the passing of our beloved Brother Aloysius. VVe all knew that we had lost a great friend and true benefactor. To the helm of the C.B.A. faculty came Brother Thomas, whose organization and leadership qualities were proven without delay. We began to feel the import of the annual retreat and monthly Mass in the gymnasium. From the ranks of the sophomores came mem- bers of the varsity baseball, basketball, track, foot- ball and cross country teams. Members of the second year were to be found in the Third Order of St. Francis and on The Sentry staff. Arthur Flores, having won the plebe medal, became the first of our class to attain a rank in the regiment. He was a corporal. lVe were all working for three merit rolls, or better, to assure ourselves of being corporals in our third year. Bill Cashin distin- guished himself by winning the coveted upper classmarfs medal for privates. We had our first encounter with High School Regents when we took Latin II and geometry in mid-june. Some of us did well, while others were struck a stunning blow by failure. That customary arrogance of a high school sophomore was not too prevalent in our class and it was kept to a bare minimum by clear methodical thought and judgment. There is but one word that this writer can call to mind as a theme for our junior year. That word, without limitation or qualification, is competition. It was evident in every field of endeavor. WVe were all in a mad dash for those fourth year commis- sions. The field of competitors was great and the big prizes were few. While striving hard in the military department and scholastic field, we still found time to place men on the city champion football and track teams. The success of the Spring
