EIX L.IBQI5 The De La Salle Hiqh School MINNEAPOLIS MINNESOTA for 1926 Published annually by the Senior Class ofDe La Salle High School VOLUME TWO DEDICATION lo our latliers, our best companions, in deepest gratitude lor op| ort unities given us, ami a keen sense ol our c lelx, we alleetionatcly dedicate I lie 1926 Attianasian HpHIS little book has been made for three reasons: Firstly. THAT WE MAY REMEMBER. That we may remember the happy days that are now ending: the warm friendships that grew day by day as we worked together: the spirit of loyalty that made us a unit: the laudable pride we feel for our class because of what it has accomplished: the generous sacrifices of the men who taught us: the noble ideals they set before us of manly worth and godly living: the inspiration they have been to us: the debt we owe them to show this community the solid worth of the service they are rendering to youth. Secondly. THAT WE MAY BE REMEMBERED. It is but natural that we should desire this. Our hearts have been in De La Salle. We fancy that we have laid a few courses in the building of the greater De La Salle of tomorrow and we wish that those who come after us and benefit by the bigger opportunities our Alma Mater will offer, may not forget us. We have wrought honestly and believe we deserve the reward of remembrance. Thirdly. TO DISCHARGE A DEBT. We wish this little book to serve as a reminder to our parents and teachers that we have tried to profit by their sacrifices and are deeply grateful for all they did for us. These three ends are not too pretentious. Remember us kindly and if the classes that come after us find in our record anything that serves as inspiration, we have been rewarded beyond our deserts. euthanasian Staff M. H.

But make allowance for their doubting, too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting. Or being lied about, don't deal in lies. Of being hated, don't give way to hating. And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream—and not make dreams your master: If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim. If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same: If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools. Or watch the things you gave your life to. broken. And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss. And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss: If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone. And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: Hold on! If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue. Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch. If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you. If all men count with you. but none too much: If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run. Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it. And—which is more—you'll be a Man. my son! —Rudyard Kipling. Page Nineteen William F. Sievers President CLASS OFFICERS Rojtcr J. LewU Thomas A.

Memories of happy days when we did well many things that we thought big and well worth doing: memories of many things we did not do so well. This is an occasion of rejoicing. Who are we to cast a shadow of gloom upon a pleasant picture? On September 4. 1 922. a number of small boys from the Grade Schools of the City, for the first time saw the inside of De La Salle High School. For years they had been striving for this goal. It was now attained. They were Freshmen. Timidly they entered the portals of the Old Building. With awe they gazed upon the august upper-classmen as they lounged in easy dignity about the office and corridors. How mighty they seemed! What great resolves those Freshmen made! We were but FRESHMEN! We thought we were men. Many of us had but the day before been elevated to man’s estate through the magic donning of pants that extended to our shoes. The “knickers” eyed us with envy. We were nervous. The Brothers were strangers to us. the older boys were awe-inspiring, we were almost scared. It was just here that we made our first contact with De La Salle Spirit in the kindly way those Brothers and boys welcomed us. They seemed glad to have us with them. After a hectic week of schedules, book-buying, and trying to find out just where we were supposed to be at and what we were supposed to be doing when we were at that place, the whole puzzle unravelled and we were under way. We did work hard during that year. We studied hard every night—almost every night. We studied three hours every night—some nights. We did want to get ahead and we did. The year simply flew by and again Spring Fever was upon us— We were SOPHOMORES. September. 192T found us installed in the NEW BUILDING. As upperclassmen. we were the lads. Filled with the sense of responsibility, we strolled about the school. Conscientiously we looked over the new batch of timid, scared. Freshics. What was coming over the Grade Schools? This was a poor-looking bunch of material. They were weedy looking, nothing like the stuff that entered De La Salle in our time. So it shall ever be until Sophomores shall be no more. Sophomore was a big year. We were better united, our averages improved, we went in for school activities as if their success depended upon us alone, we did much in Athletics and Dramatics. Time raced on and before we knew it. the old schedule gong had buzzed its last buzz and— We were JUNIORS. We took it rather coolly. We had got our stride. Now for a record that would stand for years in the old school. Page Thirty-eight Junior year was the best of all. With a definite goal before us we settled down into the hard grind and liked it. We began to feel our responsibility to the school. Somehow, every undertaking was turned over to us to put through. The Seniors led the way. but they were soon to disappear, and it was up to the juniors to “carry on. Whatever our shortcomings may have been, we met every task that was imposed upon us. Athletics flourished, dramatics took on new life, the Islander came into existence. And that was another year. SENIORS! At last we had reached our goal—nearly. We were the top men of the school and looked down with haughty mien upon the lowly under-classmen. It is said that a school is no better than its student body, and .that its student body is no better than its Senior Class. We had something to do to set the pace. Realizing that soon we would have to take our place in the world outside our school walls, we applied ourselves as we had never done before. Athletics reached a high-water mark. A highly successful season was crowned with a crushing defeat of Cretin. The Basketball Team took on the appearance of a wrecking crew, smashing everything that came in its way. For the first time in history. De La Salle was represented in the National Catholic Basketball Tournament at Chicago. The Islander doubled in size and in popularity until we felt it was husky enough to be left to the tender care of the Juniors. At midyear, we withdrew all Seniors from the Islander Staff and began the publication of the Athanasian. And now we are nearly finished. The four years have passed quickly—all too quickly. Sometimes we wish we had it all to do over again. Would we do any better than we have done? We might not. and again, we might, at that. We are about to leave the familiar halls of the dear old school. Strange how it gets tangled up in your heart strings and makes you hate to leave. The past is dead! Let it sleep! Farewell. Memory! We turn to dreams of the future! Page Thirty-nine CLASS PROPHECY Looking Forward AS Mr. Dooley says: We stand on the threshold of the Sea of Life and our feelings are as mixed as his metaphors. Many men live in the Past, more live but for the Present, while some live in the Future. With none of these do we wish to be classed. With the mistakes of the Past teaching us wisdom, we would so live in the Present that the Future will be worth living when it comes. This is a rather large assignment. For four years we have been taking intensive training in it. for it is the De La Salle way. Here, as we step out into the world of striving and doing men. we do most solemnly accept it as our guide. In this Prophecy we are facing the Future, gladly, but a little sadly: fearlessly. but quite a bit prayerfully: confidently, but nervously, nevertheless. These mixed feelings arise from the knowledge we have of ourselves and from the knowledge we have of what is expected of us. May it not be that those who love us expect too much of us? It may be. If so. they may be disappointed in us. but it will not be because we have not tried to meet their expectations. Every man of the Class of 1926 is determined to do all that is in him to give reality to the dreams of those who have done so much for him. Could you ask more than that? The way has been marked out for us. The bad spots have been surveyed and charted. We have been trained in the Divine art of Christian living. If we fail—WE fail. The disgrace and the unhappiness will be of our own making. You have done much for us. We owe much to you and we deeply sense our obligation to make good,in the biggest, truest, realest sense of the word— to live each day as it comes—the De La Salle Way. This is our resolve and resolves are the stuff out of which the Future is made. This being our resolve we prophesy that so it shall be. Fancy tempts us to go adown the years and choosing a point of vantage tell what we there see. While straining our imagination at the task we came across some ve-ses written by a loyal Brother's Boy that so completely express our ideas that we have inserted them here in full. The poet takes his place twenty years from now and sings thus: Tis hard to realize it now. it all seems like a dream, A dim. recurrent vision of the line-up of our team: And at the head our Brother. Tom, who always liked to blow About the nine he organized there, twenty years ago. They're scattered o'er Life's diamond now. they face another plate. The members of that team today are crossing bats with Fate; And on that broad, unmeasured field they meet a stronger foe Than any nine they battled with, some twenty years ago. Page Forty Some courted Victory at the start and played a winning game. While many often faced defeat, but got there just the same. A few are playing far too fast, a few are playing slow. But every man is out to win, like twenty years ago. Some linger idly on the bench and watch the others play. Awaiting each his turn to bat. awaiting each the day When Opportunity will call and Fortune will bestow A smile upon the humbler ones of twenty years ago. And some there are who never scored; some never touched a base. But struck too high or else too low, and swung their bats through space. But Life’s a game of many curves, a game of weal and woe, A game we knew not much about, some twenty years ago. And thus 'twill be until the end. through all the changing years. We all must have our ins and outs, our mingled hopes and fears; And though perhaps we smile today, tomorrow tears may flow; Two decades hence ’twill be as now, and twenty years ago. And when the game is over. Tom. and all the runs are in. When opposite each player s name, appears each act and sin. I hope the Great Umpire then declares the records show Each man as safe as when he played, just twenty years ago. Returning to the Present, let us assume the robes of Prophecy and proceed to prophesy what wondrous deeds shall be achieved by ' Nineteen Twenty-Six.” The Class of 1926 will never repudiate the noble principles of right living, the moral standards, the inspiring ideals of De La Salle High. We shall ever strive to deserve the respect, the trust and the good opinion of our fellow men. Ever united as we now are united, we will keep our banners high and our honor unstained until we have achieved all that devolves upon a man whose great glory is that he can call De La Salle his Alma Mater. Good friends; Wish us success! It is a big assignment to turn all this prophecy into reality, but such we must do if we are to be true to ourselves. You who love us: Wish us God Speed! Page Forty-one PERT PHABLES Ii was Graduation Night. Alone he sat on the veranda of the old home. The stars filled the heavens and the nightingale serenaded them. The Graduate sat and pondered over the triumphs of the past. The Future called him as her own. Languidly he gazed at the sky and murmured: “Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I know just what you are.” Curtain (An interval of forty years) It was the anniversary of Commencement Night. Alone he sat on the veranda of the old home. The same stars filled the same heavens and other nightingales serenaded them. The Graduate sat and pondered over the triumphs of the past. The Future would soon claim him as her own. Tenderly he gazed at the sky and mur- mure : “Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I WONDER what you are.” It was Commencement Night. All was over but the paying of the tailor, the florist, the taxi company, etc., etc., etc. The moon shone in silver beauty above the old home painting in mystic beauty the hedges and the old garden. The Graduate with shovel on shoulder comes down the walk. ‘Neath an old elm he digs a grave and in it buries all his books. Stealthily he made his way to his room and into bed. As slumber closed his weary eyes, he murmured: “Well, that’s that! Never again!! Now life begins!!!“ Vacation claimed him for her own. The speed could not be too illegal. Through three golden months he danced to pleasure’s piping and then he woke up. Another night. Darkness covers the home and the hedges and the garden. A stealthy figure leaves the house. Upon its shoulder is a spade. It feels its way to the old elm. Slowly and painfully by the light of a lantern he disinters the old books and hugging them to his breast, he makes his way to his room. As slumber closes his weary eyes, he murmured: “Well, that’s that! Never again!! Now will I get a job and learn these old books again!!! A grin of real content shone on his face. Curtain (An interval of forty years) It is again Commencement night. The scene is the same garden. The same old moon sheds the same old beauty. T WO figures come down the walk. The one is a boy strangely like the boy of so long ago. T he other is one known and loved from end to end of the land. They pause beneath the old elm. The older man tells the story of the long past. T he youth listens. Son. this is not your Commencement Night. This is your Graduation Night. Your Commencement Night will come about three months from now when you. too. dig up your books and Commence to learn the application of them in the greater school of life.” Did the Graduate get the lesson ? DO YOU ? Pagr Forty-two WHAT IDEALS MEAN TO A YOUNG MAN (A Symposium of Senior Essays) uTDEALS! Sure. I know what they mean. Ideals are the pipe-dreams of an “■ Idealist.” Such is the answer most people would give if asked to define Ideals. As far as it goes it is correct, but they have wrong meanings attached to the word “dreams.” They fancy that dreams being made of unreality, there are no dreams that can be transmuted into actuality. They are wrong. Every great advance in the mental, physical, social and moral well-being of the race had its origin in the dream of some one man who desired the ideal enough to sacrifice everything to give it reality. An Ideal is something we wish to do. to be. or to get. and to the doing, being or getting of which we are willing to give all that is in us physically, mentally and morally. It is the mental picture of what we think desirable and which we believe will fully satisfy us when we have done it. become it. or have acquired it. Our Ideal may aim only to do a certain thing without a thought as to what it will make us or what we will acquire as a result of having done it. Again we may have a certain Ideal of acquired wealth. The wealth, however. is only a means we set before us to assure us a certain position in life. 7'his position in turn may not be our ultimate ideal because we wish the position only as a means to the doing of some worthwhile things that are our great Ideal. A man’s Ideal may urge him to do. to be, to get or it may drive him to all three things when it is a perfect Ideal. The real Idealist examines his ideals to determine if they are worthwhile. The final test of this is if they will give him the fullest possible satisfaction when attained. If not. they lead but to unhappiness. The real Idealist knows just what he wants, just why he wants it. just when he wants it. and just how much he will give for what he wants. The real Idealist knows just what fitness he has physically, mentally and morally to make possible the achievement he sets before himself and the sacrifices he has to make to remedy his shortcomings. He never sets out for what he cannot get. He never strives unless he is fitted to achieve. The real Idealist does not wish for. desire, long for. or. in a certain sense, even pray for the things he wishes. He is a most practical man—he considers ways and means, foresees pitfalls, analyzes himself, studies his problems, seeks enlightened advice, uses the experience of others, plans just what he will do. gives Page Forty-three a specific schedule to what he has determined to do and then, with all the force and character in him. drives himself to make his plans happen just as he planned them to happen and at the time he planned to have them done. The real Idealist is the very anthithesis of the popular conception of a dreamer. He is the only real doer. The rest of men are but drifters, worshipers of L ady Luck, devotees of Chance—the real dreamers of life. The real Idealist is the vessel under full power, steaming ahead and. therefore. subject to the helm. The drifter lies in the trough of the sea and cannot be guided in any way. The real Idealist may be going wrong, as was St. Paul, ,but being in motion, the helm of his right reason can turn him into a better and nobler course. The Drifter can only DRIFT. A man of mediocre mentality and of but ordinary strength of character will accomplish, attain and acquire infinitely more if animated by an Ideal than will the most talented and most brilliantly endowed man who only drifts. The ordinary man is driven by his Ideal; the other man is tossed by the waves. A young man leaving school should have a clearly defined ideal before him. He may not see in clearest detail what it implies but effort to reach it will bring him nearer to his goal and nearness will give clearer vision. If the height of a graduate's ambition is to “get a job without any definite knowledge of what that job is to be. he is drifting. If he leaves High School and enters College without having formed for himself a clear-cut goal to be attained through what he gets in College—he is drifting. If he enters College and does not choose his courses intelligently with a view to preparing himself for the attainment of his Ideal—he is drifting. If he has adopted some profession or business because some one has told him to do so. or father did just that, or mother would like to see him in a nice place like that—he is striving for some one else's ideals—he is drifting. If he studies and passes the best years of his life with no definite objective, trusting to have things happen to him as he goes through life and push him into what he is best fitted for—he is drifting. If he plunges into a life whose emoluments attract him but for which he is not mentally or physically or morally fitted—he is drifting. If he takes the first thing that comes to hand without any certainty that it serves as a step forward toward the big thing he wants—he is drifting. The great men of American affairs are unanimous in saying that the vast majority of Americans drift. The shame of it is that Americans are the last people that must drift. Page Forty-four In the over-populated countries of the Old World, the great bulk of the people are fore-doomed to a specific kind of life. They cannot normally be choosers. They must take what they can get and that is often what they arc not fitted for. Those who achieve, attain or acquire beyond the state of society into which they arc born are very, very rare. In America we can pick and choose. What we want to be we can be if we want it hard enough and are fitted to take it. The soundest criticism of our schools is that they teach, instruct, train, men and women of the future without putting any definite, intelligent objective before the individual student. Do they make any study of the individual student with a view to helping him form an ideal and then train him to a fitness to attain that ideal? They do not. They do too much grinding that every student shall conform to the requirements of certain gauges of education that in the end will produce nothing but mediocrity in the talented and make Drifters of the others. Until something is done in this matter, it is up to the individual student to do his own thinking. The Idealist does just that. He surveys the field before him. analyzes the opportunities that lie before him. takes stock of his personal equipment, chooses for himself and then DRIVES toward his goal. He could do this more intelligently and far more economically and with greater results if he had scientific counsel and direction. T he Live Wire does it despite of prevailing rutted methods of curriculum-making. It would seem that the private schools are more progressive in this matter than are the state schools. At least, they set before the student the great ultimate. spiritual ideals that must be his if he is to be happy here and hereafter. In so much they establish at least one great ideal in the lives of those they arc entrusted to fit in the fittest way to live fully, usefully, happily and nobly. Page Forty-five uXTOTHING is so contagious as enthusiasm. It moves stones; it charms brutes. Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity, and truth accomplishes no victories without it.”—Bulwer. A school is no better than its students. When every individual student takes a genuine pride in his school: when he makes it his duty to be loyal to it: when he makes every effort to support all school activities—even makes sacrifices to boost his school—then that school is thriving. That school is enjoying ital prosperity, and is positively bound for greater success. Failure is impossible. School-spirit does not imply a lot of noise-making. It does not mean a great deal of display and excitement. School-spirit, in the first place, is co-operation between the students and the faculty. What one undertakes, the other supports. Then the project, no matter what it is. will succeed. It is sure to. Spirit is a genuine feeling of friendliness among the students. ‘ Pet peeves” should be forgotten when the name of the school is at stake. Everybody gets together and pushes for the school. That’s school spirit! Then every student is an active part of the school. Sportsmanship in the class-room: sportsmanship on the playing-field is real School-spirit. Anybody can cheat—can steal work from another fellow's paper: anybody can razz” the other team: anybody can boo” his own player when a mistake is made. But that isn't Spirit. Spirit is independent study: it is cheering your own team on. and encouraging the other. In victory, in defeat —loyalty always. That’s School-spirit. A game with an opponent may appear lost, with but a few minutes to play. It isn't. Cheer! Pull the game out of fire by real support. Fight will win any battle. It has been done thousands of times before. Even if you don’t win a victory according to figures, you have won a moral victory. Live-wires' spring up in every school every year. They are fighting for their school. They want to see it at the pinnacle of success. Help them. Be a live-wire yourself! They are the heart-beats of the school, and the school's spirit is its soul. A live-wire is always on the jump. He supports his team: he subscribes and contributes to his school paper: he docs his share for his year book when the opportunity arises. He does all he can for ALL school activities—he’s always working at something. He joins a new undertaking right away and helps put it over. A student interested in music or talented on any instrument, joins the orchestra. Every new member makes the organization the more accomplished, and gives it greater prestige. That shows his School-spirit, too. Still another way to show spirit is to do more and more studying. This helps the individual, obviously; at the same time, real study raises the scholastic standard of the school and betters its reputation. Never knock an activity. If the majority want it. do all you can to make it a success. Knockers” break down the spirit and shatter the morale of the school. ' Knockers” are not getting from the school all they should. Developing School-spirit develops your pep.” What you do at school is what you’ll always do. It gives you pleasant memories, as an alumnus. So have PEP. Go after everything in school. Keep up the spirit of the school—your school. The school will improve: its fame will spread: its attendance will increase. You'll feel better; you'll know you've done your duty, and have received your share from the school. And always remember—you can do anything with enthusiasm. Page Forty-six JUNIOR ONE George Bedard.

St. Joseph Page Forty-nine A CHILD’S HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS Part One: The Mingling of the Races T ONG ago in a time when balloon trousers were in their infancy, and that ancient classic. It Ain't Gonna Rain No Mo’. was being sung by the bards, there took place in the historic old school building of De La Salle a meeting of several historical tribes. Many claim that this meeting was an attempt on the part of the tribes to obtain an education; but others, more hardened. declare that the ambition for athletic letters or else the yearning for a stronger union with which to raise cain. were the motives. Some of the tribes came from the west—the parishes of the Incarnation. Pro-Cathedral, St. Stephen's, and others harkened back as far north as the Ascension and St. Anthony parishes. Without any respect for their ancient customs, these people were divided alphabetically and soon designated by the classes Freshman I. II. Ill and IV. For a time the Brothers who were given supervision of these newly fused races watched anxiously for signs of hostility or savagery among them, but seeing that presently they began to walk arm in arm and to grow attached to one another, the Brothers sighed with relief and settled down to civilize them. Thus was brought about the union of the tribes into that powerful body called the Class of ’27. Part Two; The Beginning of Achievement For want of a better name this next period has been called the Sophomoric stage. The '27 class had migrated into the new school where they had for their adjoining neighbors the classes of '25 and '26. which had previously settled in that place. Here in their new home, began for the Class of 27 a new era of progress. They were highly Latinized and even came to know a little Geometry. Other branches of knowledge also flourished among them. An impetus was given to Literature when literary societies sprung up in each of the four divisions of the class. Most significant of all their achievements was the institution of a class publication. Up to this time the 27 class had been handicapped as had also been their neighbors, by the absence of records of their achievements. This was remedied when a few natives of Sophomore I issued for the first time the Sophomore Gazette. T his example of medieval journalism appears rather crude to our modern vision. But it produced results by bringing before the neighboring classes the need of a school publication, and ultimately leading to the institution of that incomparable journalistic establishment, the De La Salle Islander. Page Fifty Part Three: The Present Class We now arrive at the most important stage in the history of the 27 class. In the fall of 1925 an uprising took place which resulted in a scholastic division among the Juniors, as we were now called. The majority of the Juniors still adhered to the sciences. But a few among them had their minds turned toward business. The Juniors had now attained to a high degree of culture and civilization. Talent was rife among them, and genius blossomed on every side. Bedard, the scholar, astounded the world with a capacity for high marks. Stackhouse won art fame. Pouliot typed his way to glory. Lavelle, Conroy. Kiesner. Flesch. won recognition through their work in journalism. Early in the year the Islander came under their management due to the abdication of their neighbors, the Seniors, who had embarked on a new enterprise, the publication of The Athanasian. Many athletes were also fostered. We mention here only Peterson, the pigskin warrior, and Ruane. the famous hooper. This is the history of the '27 class from its earliest beginnings to the present. Many problems arise from their new modern and complex life which will probably be discussed in a future volume. —Ann Annalist.

The Class has worked together And good work has been done. We've met with stormy weather. But we’ve also had much fun. But soon we will be out of school— And what will be our future? Will we follow the wiser rule. Or will we just be boasters? Will we be in front ranks of life. Or will we be the laggards? Will we be the ones who blow the fife, Or will we just be faggers? Of one thing I am sure as death— We will not all be famous. Our deeds, at times, may be called great. But none will want to frame us. Will we all live the way we should. Or with minds and hearts of sin? Live in the way the Devil would. Or forsake the filth for Him? Will our souls be white as the fallen snow And our minds as pure as a babe's? Or be as foul as the world below. And be doomed to a place in Hades? My thought is this: we shall all make good. And when we come to die. We can safely swear by the Holy Rood That we'11 be placed on High. tL Lawrence Lyons, William Haynes.

February 14th and 15th. “The Toastmaster. a comedy of college life, was chosen for presentation, and the play was a marked success in every way. “The Toastmaster tells of a young Sophomore student. Bill Morgan, who is in love with Cynthia Reed, the daughter of one of the college professors. Bill travels too fast for his pocket-book and suddenly finds himself badly in debt. His roommate. ‘T owel Fairfax, who is the Sophomore toastmaster, promises to loan him the money, but that night “Towel is kidnapped by the Freshies. led by Henry Reed.

Professor Reed, whose wife is deaf and dumb, falls in love with Magy. as Bill is known to him. after having warned Bill never to see Cynthia again. Morgan and Kenmark find a trunk in which they think Fairfax is hidden. Henry Reed and Ripley substitute Henry’s small brother “Buzzer for Fairfax, so the Sophs are again baffled. Cynthia pays Bill Morgan's bills and gives him the receipts with a warning to be careful in the future. The Sophs sadly assemble for their annual banquet and Bob Kenmark tells them that they have lost their toastmaster; that they are defeated by the Frosh. At this point Bill Morgan enters the banquet hall with “Towel him- Page Sixty self. “Towel tells his classmates how he finally got there—through the aid of Cynthia. “Bill's best friend.

Page Sixty.one LIBRARY STAFF. 1925-1‘ 26 Kmory Smith, St. Joseph Vkr.xon Dittir, St. Joseph Donald Pouuot, Ascension THE LIBRARY FOUNDED by Brother Joel in 1924. it comprised but a few volumes. The true foundation was the Brothers' library, which was turned over to the school. To this collection were added the donations of the Scholars. Alumni and Knights of Columbus. The library fee. placed Brother Joel in position to add several volumes of books that were absolutely necessary. For two years he continued to build. Again generous donations increased the steadily growing amount, until, at the time he was called away he had gathered together some four thousand or more volumes. Brother Philip, as successor, has continued to follow the same methods. He has selected two capable students to aid him in his work. This staff, along with Brother Michael, assistant librarian, is always willing to help students in their search of knowledge and good literature. Brother Philip has this year added some one hundred volumes and has ordered two hundred more that have not yet arrived. Generous scholars have contributed volumes from their home libraries and have swelled the library to 10.000 volumes. This collection is made up of books of science, chemistry, biology, physics, history, classics and fiction. During the winter months and rainy days the library is a cheery place compared to the dreary outside. There is room for all and every kind of a periodical on every subject that one might want to read. It is an ideal place to study some forgotten lesson because of the quiet that seems to surround it. Many students have acquired sudden knowledge during a brief noon period. The library is open at all times of the day for those who wish to look up information regarding subjects they know little or nothing about. We. the Senior Class, are thankful and truly appreciate the assistance that Brothers Joel and Philip and their staffs have given us during the four years that we have needed their aid. We are certain that hours of pleasure have been derived from the volumes of Fiction and have acquired much information from the Histories. Sciences and Classics.

De La Salle's newspaper, has existed only a year and a half. ■ - but already holds first place among school activities, and is recognized as the greatest producer of spirit among students, faculty and alumni. It is published once every two weeks by the students, who are guided by a faculty member as adviser. The growth of T he Islander has been almost sensational. It was founded in February. 1925. by a group of enterprising Seniors. Juniors and Sophomores. It made its first appearance on February 16th. 1925. and was immediately hailed as a great achievement by all. It was a three-column issue, eight inches and a half by eleven. James Houlihan was Editor and George O'Herrin Business Manager. The paper appeared again on March 2nd; and on March 17th there was published a Special Tournament Edition. three times the regular size, and carrying complete reports on the 1925 basketball tourney at St. T homas. T he Islander was next issued on April 1st. The issue of April 16th. saw a slight increase in the size of the paper, when the staff was reorganized. Roger J. Lewis became Editor and William Lavelle Business Manager. This. too. was a six-page edition. Successive issues appeared on May 1. May 1 5 and June 8. The Islander was reorganized promptly at the beginning of the 1925-26 school year, and its appearance on September 23rd was welcomed with great enthusiasm. This was the best edition of all up to that time, and was larger than the editions of the previous year. Roger J. Lewis was renamed Editor, and Clifford Flaherty was named Business Manager. The next issue came out on October 7th. It was on October 23 that T he Islander appeared in the size it has maintained up to the present—four columns, sixteen inches by eleven. The Islander was now firmly and permanently established. It had built up a reputation among friends of the school and was generally considered almost indispensable. Then The Islander, together with T he Athanasian. made formal application through the Editor, to the Minnesota High School Press Association, and both publications were admitted. As a result, Roger J. Lewis. Michael Martin and William Lavelle attended the sixth annual convention of the Association at University High School. Entrance into the State's society of high school publications was the greatest boost The Islander had yet received, and is all the more remarkable when we consider the paper was not yet a year old. The succeeding editions of the paper appeared on November 6. November 20. December 4 and December 18. the last named being a Christmas edition, printed in green ink. T his issue also marked the resignations of several Seniors from the paper’s staff. Roger Lewis, Editor, and a number of others withdrew to take charge of The Athanasian. On its first appearance alter the Christmas vacation. January 15. William Lavelle became Editor and Fred Holzapfel Business Manager. Several new members were added to the staff, which has remained practically intact this last semester. The Islander was published again on February 1. and on February 19. March 5. March 19. April 9. April 23. May 7 and May 21. T he final edition of the year will be issued June 1 1. The noticeable progress of The Islander can be attributed to the spirit of those students who have edited it. to the co-operation received from the Student Body and Faculty, and to the careful and helpful aid of its two faculty advisers. Brother Michael, who acted as first adviser, was moved from Minneapolis last summer, and Brother Hilary was chosen as his successor. Both Brothers have given their best at all times and The Islander continues to forge ahead. Pane Sixty-four DE LA SALLE ORCHESTRA PERSONNEL Ernest A. Birkholtz George A. Bofferding Mr. Elmer Bohlig.

Its appearances all year have been greeted with an abundance of enthusiasm and ovation, which proves the growing esteem in which it is popularly held. The orchestra has filled in a gap in school life at De La Salle that was sadly missing in former years. A great amount of the credit must go to Mr. Bohlig. who has labored hard and patiently until he has whipped together an organization that would reflect credit on any institution. The orchestra's instrumentation is composed of fifteen violins, cornet, four saxophones, tympani. mandolin, banjo and piano. A great share of the instruments are furnished by the school for those who are talented but who are unable to procure instruments. One of the orchestra’s special features is a piano quartet, known as the De Luxe Four, which is composed of George Bofferding. Raymond A. Thompson. Judson O'Donnell and Emmett Boucher. This quartette rendered a good part of the musical program at the class play in February, and showed remarkable talent. Its repertoire includes classic and popular music, which it delivers with a vigor and gusto not often found in amateur organizations. Its variety of instruments lends a bizarre note to all its renditions. In the absence of Mr. Bohlig. the conductorship falls to Earl Schmitt, student director, who has shown remarkable talent on the violin, and also as leader when called on. This year found the orchestra ready and willing to do its part to make the class play a booming success. It played before the first curtain, and between the acts, as well as a recessional, and met with much favor. Several times the curtain was delayed by the applause which greeted the musicians. Earl Schmitt directed the second evening, because of Mr. Bohlig’s forced absence. The orchestra did not falter once, but went through its schedule with a thoroughness that would be a credit to a much older organization. The young musicians were in great demand at nearly all social gatherings held at the school during the year. The Patroness Society, especially, demanded its appearance at most of its meetings. The success of the orchestra in so short a time has led its backers to believe that in a very few years it will rival any amateur orchestra in the city. With a larger and broader instrumentation that is bound to come year by year, and with the continued backing of the Student Body, and the Faculty, it is absolutely impossible that the De La Salle orchestra will fail.

The annual banquet was one of the largest in the history of the Alumni. 250 members attending. As this volume goes to press, elaborate plans are being made to initiate into the Alumni Association the class of 1926. A most impressive ritual prepared for the Alumni by Brother John will be used the first time. Page Sixty-eight Mrs. Ben Bromiiacji Vice-President Mrs. Fred Holzarfki. President Mrs. N. A. Boone Secretary THE PATRONESS SOCIETY 'T’HE Patroness Society, a leading organization of De La Salle High School. although still in its infancy, has already accomplished much. Last February it celebrated its first anniversary. The Society, acting as one big “Mother. has the welfare of the school and scholars at heart. It may be termed as an outgrowth of the Parent-Teacher meetings, as it was through the latter society that idea originated. In February of 1925. a group of mothers assembled, held a meeting and elected officers. Plans were put forth for a “get-together’' party and the work of the society had begun. As the school year was short the work was carried over the summer months until October. Mmes. Holzapfel. Brom-bach. Simons and Boone were re-elected President. Vice President. Secretary and Treasurer respectively. The real object of the Patroness Society is to defray the expenses of the upkeep of the Brothers' Chapel on the Island, an expense that has been heretofore met by Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Coughlin of happy memory. As the society is made up of mothers it is only natural that interest is taken in their boys and their work. The crowning event of the past season was the dance on Lincoln’s Birthday. A banquet was also given for Brother Patrick, in honor of his Silver Jubilee later on. This dance was largely attended by the students and their parents. As every social event of the season, held under the auspices of the Society, has been a success, socially and financially, we sincerely wish them further success in any of their future undertakings. Page Sixty-nine Ilrothrr Kurciic Mr. George Rol crts Director of Atnietics Head Coach ATHLETICS FOR any team, no matter what the sport, a good coach is as essential to success. as the players themselves. It is his duty to see that the athletes are physically fit and possess enough natural ability to play the game. He must instruct the beginners, and correct the veterans. The task is not an easy one. nor is it pleasant. Last fall. George Roberts, came to De La Salle, a total stranger, and immediately began preparations for football. From the very beginning, he made things a success, and now we look back with pleasure, to the many victories gained by the football, basketball and baseball teams. It was largely due to his hard work and sacrifices that such favorable results were accomplished. We all hope that he will remain at De La Salle for many years to come, and wish him the best of luck in future endeavors. Brother Eugene, our Veteran Athletic Director, a warrior of many battles, fought on fields as far apart as Joliet and Minneapolis, is the inspiration of athletes in the Island School. According to him. no battle is won until the last whistle blows. Page Seventy FOOTBALL TEAM OF 1926 Robert Ball. Ascension Lloyd Bolduc. Basilica Lawrence Barrett, Ascension John Fourniea.

Stated in this way the season seems anything but satisfactory, but an analysis of the scores shows that the season was one of the best in the history of De La Salle. Every team played was as strong as the Purple and Gold and in two cases we were clearly outclassed, still the scores were uniformly low. The biggest upset of the year was the game with St. T homas, and they defeated us by three touchdowns, whereas they were at least five touchdowns better than the Purple and Gold. The game with North High was three touchdowns better than the people in the know expected; and Watertown, a heavy, veteran team, could only make two touchdowns against us. The strong St. Cloud team was booked to beat us easily but had to take the small end of a hard-fought game. If we held the St. John’s to a small score our rooters would have been satisfied. Instead we played hob with them and had the game but for two fumbles and the breaks that followed these fumbles. We made an average of a little over seven points to each game while our opponents averaged eleven. This indicates a scrapping team that knew how to play the game. That is just what we had. We are proud of them. In the first game of the season De La Salle was nosed out by North High by a 7-0 score. Displaying its old fighting spirit, the Purple and Gold held their stronger opponents scoreless for the first three periods. North, however, were not to be refused and they pushed over their lone touchdown in the last few minutes of play. The following Friday. De La Salle traveled to Hopkins and played without four of the first-string men. Hopkins scored in the first quarter. In the third quarter we completed a pass over the goal line and tied the score. For the remainder of the game we were constantly threatening but could not make our play click at critical times. With our first-string backfield out we had tied a strong team. The third game of the season was with St. Cloud Cathedral. A hard-fought. uncertain game from the first whistle, the ball stuck in the center of the field most of the lime. All the scoring was sensational and De La Salle won because Barrett's coolness of eye and foot made the extra counts for us after touch-downs whereas St. Cloud kicked them wide. Page Seventy-two De La Salic next journeyed to Wayzata. and the best we could do was a 6-6 tie. We should have won but could not make the machine time right at critical moments. We took the lead early in the game and Wayzata intercepted a pass in the fourth quarter. We should have won. De La Salle played St. Thomas on a muddy field covered with snow. For the first quarter we kept the ball in the Cadets’ territory but weight and speed began to tell and a snappy series of end plays got by us and the Cadets were off. They outweighed us. many say they outplayed us. but they did not outfight us. We stayed with them until the last whistle blew. They should have made two more touchdowns. De La Salle traveled to Watertown. S. D.. and held the strong Watertown High School to two touchdowns. They had a line that weighed 190 average and we had come of! a long all-night ride. The first quarter ended 0-0. Late in the second period the weight began to tell and two touchdowns got by us. That was all we let them have and several times came near scoring. Then we defeated Cretin. That made up for a lot of hard bumps. Somehow. we like to defeat Cretin. This was the second time that we turned the trick in two years. They made a strong bid for the game and several times had us a little scared, but it was not to be. We got 19 and they had to be contented with 3. In the final game of the season De La Salle was defeated by St. John's. The game was played at St. John's. We scored once in the first quarter, once in the second quarter and once in the third quarter and made one extra by kicking. St. John's scored twice in the second quarter, once in the third quarter and once in the fourth quarter and made one extra count by kicking. Thus ended the season. We were satisfied with the team. They lived up to the best De La Salle traditions. What more could they do?

Athletic Director Page Sevcnty.four BASKETBALL ' PHIS has been our Big Year with the Basketeers. Under the leadership of the peerless Captain Barrett, a team of eight veterans ran wild through the best teams of this section. Two wins over St. T homas, one over North High, one over Mechanic Arts of St. Paul, two over Cretin and two over St. Cloud— that is a record that shows the Championship qualities of the Purple and Gold tossers. After such a season much was expected of us in the Northwestern Tournament. but we slipped. With St. John's and St. Cloud disposed of. the Old Man Jinx put in his appearance and St. Thomas played rings around us. T wice during the season we had defeated them easily, but in the big game we seemed helpless against the powerful attack of the Cadets. In the National Catholic Tournament at Chicago we made a good showing in the first round hut were eliminated in the second. Despite the rather disappointing showing at the end of the season, the team was the best in our history and had the loyal support of the student body. The squad consisted of ten first string men. Of these, three were playing their fourth year: three, their second year and four had one year's experience. Captain Barrett at center played a consistently superior game. His assists did much to keep the team play what it was and his coolness in any crisis was the most valuable asset the team had. A good athlete, a fine gentleman, a clean player—Barrett leaves a record that is enviable. Of the three regular forwards. Bolduc was high scorer. A clean, hard player, he gave a splendid exhibition of consistent performance throughout the entire season. Ruane. the most sensational of the Forward men. was inclined to be a little spotty in his performance. He has another year to play and should perform more consistently next year. It always did happen that when he made his sensational spurts was just when the game hung on such a stunt. Next year wfll find him among the best forwards in the Northwest. Hvland, the youngest man on the forward line, was the fastest man on the team. To speed and a cool head, he added a deadly shot from any angle. The team loses Barrett and Bolduc by graduation. With Ruane and Hyland we have enough to make a forward crew that will give a good account of itself in any kind of company. It is in the defensive positions that the team is hit the hardest by graduation. Schwappach. All-State Guard, leaves a hole that will be hard to fill. Page Seventy-five Dolan, a natural guard with a hard, brainy game, leaves the team because of graduation and along with the above two stars goes St. Aubin. a valuable man because of his ability to shift into the forward line. This leaves Ruane, a rather light but scrappy player as the nucleus of our defense next year. Mackey and Mauren, with another year to play, should give one strong forward and an equally strong guard. The Junior teams will give some ten good men to the squad next year. It looks bright for a very good team. Much credit is due Coach Roberts for the fine showing of the team this year.

The Islanders went through their entire schedule without suffering a defeat. They won four and tied two games, entitling them to a tie for the Championship, of the Junior division, of the City League. The outcome of the following games Purple and Gold six: will indicate the great success enjoyed by the D. L. S. 7; Brackets ... 2 D. L. S. 2; Calhouns 1 D. L. S. 4; Powdcrhorns 4 D. L. S. 1 ; Hennepin Lakes 0 D. L. S. 1; Rivervicw 0 D. L. S. . ... 2: Powderhorns .. 2 The Islanders’ first practice game was with West High, at the Minneapolis Arena. The Public High School Champions won from De La Salle by the close score of 3-0. The Bracket Sextet was the Purple and Gold’s first opponent in the league Page Seventy-seven schedule. The Island Six won by the lop-sided score of 7-2. Led by Captain Ed Ritter, who made five goals, their speedy attack rained shots through the Bracket's defense, into the net. The second game was also an easy victory for the Islanders, despite the close score. The Calhoun pucksters were the victims this time. In the third game, the Islanders met their toughest foes, the Powderhorns, who tied them for the title. T he game resulted in a four-four deadlock. During the first two periods the Powderhorns piled up a 4-1 lead. In the final period the Islanders unleashed a powerful attack to stave off an almost certain defeat. Tor two minutes of this period De La Salle shots were accurately stopped by the Powderhorn goalie. Finally. Ed Ritter received the puck and fought his way through the entire Powderhorn team, feinted a shot which got the goal guard off balance, and then made a sizzling shot into the net. A moment later. Fyten followed Ritter's example by scoring, after receiving a pass from Lorn Gomilak. With the score tied, an extra period was played, during which time neither team could count. The following week the Riverview team lost to the De La Salle lads. 1-0. This was the best played game of the season. The Islanders scored their only marker in the first period, and from then on neither team could score. The game was hard fought and the Riverside boys took desperate chances in an effort to defeat the Purple and Gold. In this game. Schommer. the Islander goalie, played brilliantly. He stopped every shot made at him. some of which were labeled for scores. With the schedule completed both De La Salle and Powderhorn had finished with three victories and one tie. Officials of the league decided that the two teams would meet to decide the undisputed Championship. The game was played early in March, on soft ice. which considerably slowed up the play. This game also resulted in a tie. 2-2. as was the case in their previous encounter. With the count 2-1, Ritter chalked up a point to make it 2-all. Both teams fought hard for the rest of the period, without scoring. After a few minutes' rest, an extra quarter was played. When the whistle blew both teams were sprawled out on the ice fighting to make the score that would spell victory. As no title winner was definitely decided, both teams were given trophies emblematic of the Championship. Capt. Ed Ritter was the outstanding star throughout the season. He scored nearly one-half of the Islanders' total points and played a great defensive game. Schommer. at goal guard, also played well in every contest. James Riley, a regular wingman of last year's team, was lost to the ice team as a result of a leg injury. He played in one or two of the early season games. An injury also kept George Gruidl out of the game. He. too. was a regular from the previous year. Page Seventy-eight BASEBALL, 1926 Lawrence Barrett. Ascension Richard Bcaston.

The St. Boniface High School of Cold Springs nosed them out of the title in a hotly contested game which resulted in a dose score. In the earlier rounds of the meet they easily eliminated Holy Trinity High of New Ulm and St. Mary’s of Waverly. They were given a silver loving cup and medals as a reward for coming second in a field of eight entrants. During the season's schedule, the Juniors were victorious on seven occasions and received but one defeat. Two of their most important wins were scored over the St. Thomas and Cretin second teams, both of whch boasted of strong line-ups who next year will form the nuclei of their respective first team squads. The St. Thomas Seconds reversed the Islanders' first win by turning them back on their home floor by a 16-14 count. This was the only defeat suffered by the Juniors during their heavy schedule. Tom Farrell ably captained the team from the pivot position. He showed marked accuracy in his tries from the center of the floor. Philip Theisen and Wilfred Boone formed a speedy combination at the forward posts. Wilfred Theisen and Frank Sampson formed the air-tight defense that saved the Juniors from many a defeat. Among the able substitutes were Clyde Cutter, forward: Edward Hartfiel. guard: Fred Holzapfel, center and guard. The outcome of the season's schedule is given below: D. L. S. Jrs. D. L. S. Jrs. D. L.
