1 1 if x Page 52 PURPLE AND GOLD unior A VVe have no intention of boring our readers with a tiresome history of ourselves. lt is unnecessary to boast of what we Piave done, for our achievements speak for themselvesf .One needs but to glance at the likeness of our beaming countenances to discover the reason for our success.Q In the center of the picture we see the guiding hand of our worthy president, Tex McLaugh- lin. john Ragan, our overworked Vice-President, and Ryan, honest' CFD custodian of the shekels, flank him on either side.' iWe could go on and on through the picture and we could still Find celebrities without number. The picture shows the perfect balance in our class with Mulvihill and Margiasso to offset each other. It cannot last, howev' ', because while Mulvihill is slowly losing his daily rides on the Cicero Pony, Mar- .er weight from giasso is steadily gaining from the free milk shakes he is incessantly downing. We must add that John Bishop, famous writer of descriptive prose, is also present. From the Iobk on his face we conclude that he is far away in tliei land of gently lapping waves and misty moonlight. ' 1 The athlitics of 3A have brought us undying fame. After a thrilling season they captured the much desired basketball championship, defeating the twice champion 4B team. They then proceeded to strengthen their claims on the supremacy by handily whipping the boys from 2-A. . iIn baseball the story continues the same. Captained biy Bob Farmer and coached admirably by Henry Mlajewski, it is no wonder that a successful campaign resulted. Even the pool team followed the example of the others. After the last scrimmage Cap- tain Crowleyi reported that the team is slowly rounding into form and will shortly be able to challenge all Comers. ' Scbolastically of course we were equally successful. VVhat class at C. B. A. can work algebra problems with the speed and accuracy of SA? What class knows more about the difference between -l- + ions and hydraulic presses? The answer is always the same. And so we might continlue indefinitely, but as we said before this is not a history. In conclusion we must add that we feel deeply hurt. Being thoroughly democratic, however, we will overlook the convention that places with the common dust the picture that should be used as the frontispiece. We will give way theirefore to our good Bishop and support the publication as heartily as though we were really in our place. l l i i 1 l unior B It is not very hard to remember back to the first year when Brother Francis taught us Biology. When frogs and grasshoppers nearly' caused a riot in the laboratory. It comes to our mind very vividly the day we occupied the Junior A room because Frosh B was taking a steam bath. Those were the days when Tom Allen used to spread his legs all over the aisle. Even Tiney Barret and Becker were considered students. Remember when Frare Ambrose used to say double, triple, do it four times. Andy Buff was more or less a shiek in those days of yore while Henry Klapetzky professed to be the dunce of the class. Johnny VVeber was as meek as Moses in the bulrushes. He didn't have bowlegs either. We thought we were pretty good the first day we walked into Room 10 for Caesar's struggle. We didn't see much of Brother Anthony but we sure liked what we did see. Then Brother john came along to keep us happy with the greatest smile in the world. His run- ning mate was Brother Jerome, as good natured as Brother John. We had our first outing at Morning Star Manor. Incidentally we took the basketball and baseball team with us. We all had a good time and plenty to eat. Now we are harrassing Brother Edward and trying to worry Brother Andrew. They are pretty good natured considering what they have to put up withg for instance, Alex La Bacy and Matt Larkin. This year Gaffney and Klapetzki are running a race to cinch the medal, with Hammerlein a close third. Dave Coffee carries off all honors for French. Donald Maroney, a second Vic Hanson, has put the class basketball team in high places. There is not a teacher among those we have met in our three year voyage who is not all a man. Because they were men we must remember them and we shall. It was in the Hrst of our years at C. B. A. that we learned what a Christian Brother is and that he stands for what is good. As each year goes by we add Ato that store of affection which is already great. We shall always profess ourselves as Brother's boys.
