My Dear Hoys: N response to your gracious invitation, I am presuming to address you briefly in the pages of the “Athanasian,” through the intimate and informal medium of a letter. For four years we have labored together in a common cause with such a measure ol success as each one’s industry anil intelligence have made possible. The seeming difficulties and vexatious problems that confronted you four years ago are now almost forgotten or are sweetened by the thought that you have successfully reached the goal you looked forward to on entering De La Salle. It has been the happy fortune of all of us to witness the constant increase in our school attendance. Four years ago we had an attendance of two hundred and thirty hoys. Today we have present four hundred. The erection of our spacious and commodious new school created, especially for the Director, difficult problems which necessitated the enlisting of every available assistance possible. I asked your co-operation and goodwill, and you gave it whole-heartedly. This good-will, co-operation and unswerving loyalty you have given in generous measure, not only to me, but to the teaching staff and the student body in general. We are grateful to you for it, as well as for your intelligent and vigorous initiative in setting afoot various new activities which have enriched the inner life of the school and helped to enhance its reputation abroad. But knowing you as I do, I am aware that what you arc looking for in this communication is not gratitude, however much deserved, but a word of advice and encouragement. Your graduation from high school marks a very definite stage in your growth and development, both physical and mental. The more favored amongst you will prosecute your studies in college and round out your academic career in the Lniversity. Others will enter at once the hard school of the world where you will be taught from the book of life itself. In either case your success will depend on the measure of fidelity with which you build your future, upon the foundations of self-discipline, diligence, and good conduct which you have already laid. Let me remind you once more to he devoted to your parents who have made great sacrifices for you; loyal to Holy Mother Church, and honorable American citizens. You will thus add a fresh lustre to the best traditions of your Alma Mater. Your grateful friend, Brothkr II. Patrick, Director. Puife T irntyOne PURPLE AND GOLD Hall of Fame William J.

Beginning with the Class of 1925, as the initial four-year class, they have selected a representative trio from the classes ot 1925, ot 1926, and of 1927. The Staff sincerely hopes that this precedent will be followed by future classes. Page Twe my- Tivo mm OFFICERS OF THE SENIOR CLASS Edward Ptrciv.il Lawrence Walsh William Lavelle Donald Petersen President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Fellow Classmates: rHK time has come for us to part. We have reached the “fork in the road, and each must pick the trail he thinks leads to success, knowing and realizing that he must untiringly combat the obstacles of life in a suitable manner. It seems but yesterday that we entered De I.a Salle as lowly Freshmen who looked with awe at the mighty upperclassmen. Hut four long years have passed, years which we will never forget. And in this space ol time memories have been formed, fond associations with our fellow students, which we shall never let die. Through all these years, with a common purpose, we have striven and labored, participated in the same joys, mourned the same sorrows, and ever sensed the guiding influence of the faculty. We owe them a vote of thanks in appreciation of the work they have done for us. Others, too, there are to whom we are deeply indebted. Starting out in the world we should not let material things make us forget our parents— that mother, that father, who have sacrificed so much for us. Let us remember also those kind friends who have directly or indirectly aided us in our attempt to complete this stage of our life. Let us set forth on the sea of life, carrying with us those traits of character, those ideals, which we absorbed while at De La Salle, and make the best possible use of them. Let us strive, even as the best have striven before us, to be loyal to De La Salle. Let us vie for success in whatever honorable work we take up and in doing so may every one with whom we come in contact find us honorable Christian gentlemen—a credit to our Faith and our Alma Mater.

Page Thirty-Five IN MEMORIAM — EDMUND MEAGHER TI IK RE is a Reaper whose name is Death, And, with his sickle keen, He reaps the bearded grain at a breath, And the flowers that grow between. I le gazed at the flowers with tearful eyes, He kissed their drooping leaves; It was for the Lord of Paradise He bound them in his sheaves. “My Lord has need of these flowerets gay,” The Reaper said, and smiled: “Dear tokens of the earth are they, Where he was once a child. “They shall all bloom in fields of light, Transplanted by my care, And saints, upon their garments white. These sacred blossoms wear.” And the mother gave, in tears and pain, The flowers she most did love; She knew she should find them all again In the fields of light above. O, not in cruelty, not in wrath, The Reaper came that day; Twas an angel visited the green earth, And took the flowers away. —Longfellow. Page Thirty-Six CLASS HISTORY JO OUR short years! So short as to seem less than four. And yet what X experience, what joy, what suffering, what hard work and hard knocks, what an existence, are combined in that period of time allotted to the high school student! Verily, to the ordinary mortal four years is four years; but to the graduate looking hack it is a life—a life that is none the less sweet for being short. Memory beckons to the brooding graduate, to lead him back over the path he has come. It beckons to every member of the 1927 class—our class. We heed its call and follow it—wistfully. We see ourselves as Freshmen. It is September, the opening day. We are beholding De Fa Salle for the first time; other things, too. Smiling Brothers, self-assured upper-classmen, timid classmates with whom we strike up acquaintances. There are book lists to be copied down; rules to be memorized. We are somewhat confused, but happy. Memory is sometimes dim; but that first day stands out, unforgetable. The scenes change quickly now. They are become somewhat panoramic. Sometimes it is a class period we see—a duel with Latin, a pleasant hour with the history of the ancients, the helpful voice of the Brother. Then there is our debut into school athletics through interclass kittenball and basketball. The glare from the footlights strikes us; the mighty upperclassmen are putting on a play. A couple from our lowly midst are raised to fame by securing parts. The spring, kittenball, a retreat—and the scenes melt and change into a loud voice that cries triumphantly: “Sophomores!” The voice is still sounding the brassy din in our ears as another scene unfolds. The beginning of our second year. Sophomores! We are given added distinction by being moved to the new school. Class-room scenes do not stand out so clearly now, for we have become used to them—only biology: our first expedition into the realms of science—dismembered frogs, skeletons. Something is happening: an election of some sort. Ah, yes, our sophomoric literary societies are acquiring officers and a start. Another ripple of excitement—a sophomore publication is in full swing— and look what it has done—influenced the establishment of a school paper, The Islander! Again the glare from the footlights. This time it is “Seventeen” and we are quite prominent in it. The basketball tournament at St. Thomas, an all-School dance, again a retreat, and we are trying to realize the awful fact-Juniors----we! Everything has become more difficult for us now. I hat fact stands out clearly. We remember hours of study put into our Junior curriculum, but there are compensations. A victory over the Cretin pigskinners, a school basketball team that has the habit of winning. From the corridors a paper boy challenges us. Ah! The Islander—a great paper now and run by us since the withdrawal of the senior staff. “ I he I oastmaster, best play so far, in which we are strongly represented. A basketball tournament which De La Salle comes near winning. Baseball again, a spring of anticipa- Page Thirly‘Seven tion, appearance of the Atiianasian (a great book), the end of the school year—and now we are Seniors. The scenes are becoming clearer and more numerous now by reason of their recentness. Responsibility of seniors. The early class elections. Sessions of the Senior Council. Progress of school journalism; triumph of ATIIANASIAN and Islander at M. 11. S. P. A.; the Islander still growing; organization of the I)e La Salle press club. Year-book benefit raffle—a success. Work on the Atiianasian begun. The glare from the footlights is terrific now. The reason? “Brown of Harvard’ ; practically our own play and unparalleled by any De La Salle presentation. The basketball team wins the St. Thomas tournament and for the second time in as many years travels to Chicago. They go one round before being eliminated. Now we see something rise on the horizon—we near it. We see clearly now—it is the 1927 Atiianasian and our graduation. And now the scenes fade—except one. Phis remains, as clear as crystal. It is a picture of the school as we first saw it, and which will linger in cur memory forever. T was the tenth anniversary of our graduation from De La Salle and I was walking along a rather quiet downtown street, thinking of my former classmates. Where are they now? What are they doing? I longed to find out about them. As if in answer to my wish my eyes alighted on a small, Orientallooking sign, hanging over the sidewalk. It read: “Hindu Rajah, fortune teller from the far Last. Ask him anything you want to know.”—My question was solved. I walked up the short flight of steps and rang the After a short wait the door was opened by a tall coppery negro in East Indian costume. When I informed him of my mission, he ushered me into a small room, motioned that I should sit down, and withdrew. Five minutes later he returned and indicated that I should follow him. He proceeded down a hallway which was furnished in true (as it seemed to me) East Indian fashion. We came to a heavy curtain which the negro pulled aside, and I entered. I found myself in a beautiful room, very typically Oriental in all its details. At the farther end the Rajah sat, on a slightly raised dais, his legs folded under him, and with a glass ball about six inches in diameter resting on a cushion before him. As I crossed to him, he spoke. “You have come to learn of the whereabouts of your former classmates. Be seated,” he indicated a cushion before him, “and I will show you all that you desire to know. All that you have to do is to gaze steadily into the heart of the mystic globe.” As he ceased speaking, I looked into the globe dubiously, wondering what, if anything, I should sec. After what seemed to me an infinitely long time, something began to take shape in the center of the ball. I gazed into it, entranced. What 1 CLASS PROPHECY bell. Page Tfiii iy Eight saw was an American Magazine! The pages turned over and showed a heading, “From Office Boy to President, by Mr. George Bedard. The pages again turned and I saw an editorial on education written by the editor, William Lavclle. And still the pages turned over, this time to the farthest part of the book among the ads. One ad was very noticeable, “Eat the Krech Brothers’ Cough Drops and Banish That Cold. Beneath this was a collar ad advertising the usual Arrow collars. 1 recognized the model as Henry Dick. Next appeared what was apparently an office door. On the glass was, “ The b red I Iolzapfel Circuit of Movie Theaters.” In rapid succession came a series of short scenes: Donald O’Reilly, as a movie comedian; Edward kitten, teaching English at Yale; John Conroy, coaching Dartmouth’s rowing crew; Lawrence Walsh, prize-fight promoter; Edward Pcrcival, writing sports for the daily newspapers; Matthew Mulvaney a policeman on Nicollet Avenue; The Cutter and Dynes vaudeville comedy team; George Mackey, a happy husband; Edmund Burke, called the “record Will Rogers ; John McNulty, professor of chemistry; Willard Kiesner, author of “Etiquette for all Occasions ; Donald Pouliot, best piano tuner in the Twin Cities; Charles Litecky, well-known dentist; Joseph Weed, author of “Food and Its Attendant Evils”; George Herman, scoutmaster of troop “One-Eleven ; Robert Shallbettcr, owner of Quality Market I louse, formerly known as Witt's; Pom Leavitt, Wall Street broker; Frank Kapala, proprietor of “Cupcakes’ Bakery ; John Kuane, contender for pugilistic heavyweight championship; Eugene Loysen, professional “gate-crasher ; Judson O’Donnell, the “second Julian Eltinge ; Joe Tromizak, president of North Side National Bank; John McLaughlin, proprietor of “Johnnies' Cigar Store ; Clarence Lamb, writer of “Dissertation on Roast Beef ; Joseph Donahue, bookkeeper; and William Praus, Yellow-Cab driver. Here the scenes stopped. I arose, thanked the Rajah, pa it! the attendant in the hall, and left the building. Slowly and thoughtfully I made my way back to my popcorn wagon on Washington Avenue and continued my business. School Song “March De La Salle” Words and Music by K. II. Bohlig Of our school we’ll always be singing, There’s but one De La Salle, Our voices in praise ever ringing, Rain or shine, work or fun, We students whenever together are gay as can be We’re happy in all kinds of weather Right here in our own De La Salle. There’s a spirit of friendship enduring, At our De La Salle. Each day there is something alluring, That we do, as a rule. Our studies we do with a vigor, till they’re done, every one, For our playtime we’re always eager Our duties we share with fun, with fun. (Chorus) Just one school, yes, it’s our own school, And our motto is alwavs the Golden Rule, Sun or rain is just the same We ll be loyal forever to De La Salle. l 2fir Thirty-Sine JUNIOR I BACK ROW John Fitzsimons Joseph Barber Henry Kapala Emmett Boucher John Fit.as Alfred Hanover SECO N I) ROW Alfred Groos Richard Dalsin Floyd Brown Francis Gibbons Hugh Hawn James Brosnahan Edward Hornig FIRS T R O W Francis Berry Clinton Gillis George Ennen 'Thomas Farrell John Boike Vernon Hitter Hugh Jennings Henry Hoffinger Page Forty JUNIOR II BACK R OW Vincent Ross 'I'llEODORE I.EHMANN Chester W.

SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES THE 1926-27 scholastic year has been a successful one for extra curriculum activities at Dc Ea Salle. Two things mark the rise of school life: the institution of new organizations and an increased interest in the established activities. The first quarter brought forth an attempt at student government in the organization of the Senior Council, a representative group of fourth-year students. Following this, during the latter part of the first semester, came the establishment of the De Ea Salle Press Club. The St. De Ea Salle Auxiliary in the school was re-organized with student officers in charge during the third quarter. The appearance of a glee club in October gave music a lift. Although there is nothing phenomenal in the growth of organization the pep and interest displayed by the student body in all activities during the year is a cause for satisfaction. This interest has been manifested in the willingness of the students to participate in and support school prospects. I he Islander, De Ea Salle’s publication, is a notable example of student interest. I he paper boasts a staff this year twice as large as that of last. With exceptions, so few as to be insignificant, every student is a subscriber to the paper. The Athanasian owes its financial stand to the interest which was displayed in the benefit raffle held during the first semester. The financial goal set for the “Brown of Harvard” ticket sales was more than attained. Early organization has been responsible for senior activity this year. The senior council has been functioning for the past nine months and the result has been an active senior class. A general review of the year’s activity at De Ea Salle is decidedly pleasing in two ways: first, that it is a cause of satisfaction to the present students, and second, that it is a prediction of what the future De Ea Salle will be. t’cif r Fifty One Hickey.

THE ISLANDER DU La Salle’s news publication, the Islander, has prospered during the past year, to say the least. Having passed its second anniversary, February 28th, it is a publication of note in the school and among the city bi-weeklies, maintaining five columns and offering a well-written content. The Islander attained the five-column size at the beginning of the present school year. Since then each issue has been more attractive from the make-up point of view, and the news and features have continued to improve. William F. Lavelle was editor-in-chief during the first semester, having been appointed to that position last year. John J. Conroy was associate editor and Fred C. Hol .apfel, business manager. The achievement of the Islander during the first semester is the most notable as yet. Filtered in the Minnesota High School Fress Association contest, it won first prize in its class with its sport page and won third place in the editorial competition. The beginning of the second semester saw the publication change management. Edward Percival succeeded Lavelle as editor and Gregory Roth became business manager. Compared to the majority of the city high publications, the Islander is yet a tinny of newness. Page Fifty-T-uo Brosnihon, Poieley, Maag and Vincent. Smith, C. Roth, I’ottncr, Jus soy, HotTiuger. G.

THE PRESS CLUB THE formation of the De La Salle Press Club in November fulfilled the hopes anti expectations of the budding journalists of this school. Its birth was due to the earnest efforts of Brother Anselm and a few of the enthusiastic members of the Islander staff. The Club, new to De La Salle, has made its influence felt and has aided the boys in their work. At the regular bi-weekly meeting of the organization prominent newspaper men of the city address them, and the knowledge gained by these talks proved invaluable to the members. Instead of a pin to designate the members of the club, a medallion was decided upon. This is awarded to the student according to his length of service on a publication or the position which he holds. A red dye in the medallion signifies one year's service; the green dye designates two years’; while the purple is for three or more years' service and is the highest obtainable. At an early meeting of the Press Club, officers were elected. I hey are: John J. Conroy, President; Marvin J. Flesch, Vice President; William F. Lavelle, Secretary; and Fred C. Holzapfcl, Treasurer. This organization has already shown its real worth by the rapid an-vancement of publications since its birth. F igr Fiftr-Threr “BROWN OF HARVARD’’ ON the evenings of February 18th and 20th De La Salle presented its Annual Flay. “Brown of 1 larvard,” a college comedy, was chosen for presentation. The scene of “Brown of Harvard” is laid in the university town of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the story encircles Tom Brown and his fiancee, Evelyn Kenyon. Through a misunderstanding, 1'om and his sweetheart are estranged; and after several incidents, including a boat race, the lovers are reunited. Page Fifty-Four Fred Holzapfel as Tom Brown gave a very remarkable characterization. His talented acting, and aptitude for reality in portraying Tom Brown, manifested itself throughout the play. This year’s production terminates Holzapfel’s three years in De Fa Salle dramatics. Diminutive George Bedard took the leading feminine role as Evelyn Kenyon and repeated his last year’s success in “The Toastmaster.” George excelled in this portrayal as he does in every undertaking he enters upon. The two most difficult roles: those of Victor Colton and Wilfred Kenyon, were taken by Joseph Paul and I Ienry 1 Ioffingcr respectively. In spite of their handicap these Juniors gave first-rate performances. Judson O’Donnell, a Senior, scored a hit as Mrs. Kenyon. His clever interpretation was one of the high lights of the production. Another very creditable piece of work was done by William Kohl, as Gerald Thorne. The part of Thorne’s sister, Marian, was taken by Francis Gibian, a Sophomore, who showed much talent in this difficult feminine role. Clarence Fyten scored a great success as I lappy” Thurston, as also did his colleagues, Donald Pouliot and Willard Kiesner. These Seniors, in spite of their inexperience, proved themselves to be Thespians of ability. Another diminutive “he-actress” was Charles Delaney, who made an attractive co-ed and took his part perfectly. Raymond Powers and James Brosnahan rivaled each other for the spotlight in regard to humor. These comedians were indeed the life of the play. Thomas Leavitt, a Senior, made a snappy manager of the English crew, and did his part with creditable energy. George Herman, Robert Reddin and Philip Lush were ultra-collegians. They all made very enthusiastic Harvard students. The part of the Varsity coach was taken by Donald Peterson who played an otherwise difficult part with ease and spirit. A very good interpretation of the old-clothes man was given by Donald Hale. His character acting is deserving of the highest praise. “Color’’ was given to the play through the efforts of Mr. Elmer Bohlig, the head of the Music Department of the De La Salle 1 ligh School. I Ic anti his orchestra accompanied Carl Lano, Raymond Powers, and Harry Smithsen, as well as rendering laudable numbers of their own. “Brown of Harvard” was produced under the able direction of Miss Lucy Curran of the Minneapolis School of Music and De La Salle Department of Dramatic Art. She devoted one week in February to the organizing of a cast. Rehearsals were then started and in two weeks “Brown of I larvard” was ready for public presentation. This establishes a record in play productions at De La Salle, and, may we say, in several Twin City schools. To shape in fifteen days a worth while production containing twenty-seven characters and four acts is a feat deserving the highest praise. De La Salle was indeed fortunate to obtain Miss Curran to direct this play. Marvin Flesch, a Senior, aided Miss Curran in gathering together “props” for the stage. His untiring zeal as property manager helped to make “Brown of Harvard” a triumph in De La Salle dramatics. Page Fifty-Five mm THE ORCHESTRA Till-! De La Salle Orchestra, under the supervision of Mr. Elmer Bohlig, has just finished a very commendable year. Mr. Bohlig, a graduate of the school, is a capable leader and instructor having entered upon a professional career as pianist immediately after his graduation in 1912. The orchestra practices every Monday at 10:10 and has a class lesson at 1:10 on I uesdays. During the class lesson all errors in each individual part arc discovered and corrected. After the registration of the mid-year Freshman, two valuable additions were made to the orchestra in the form af a violinist and a saxophonist. This raised the size of the orchestra to approximately twenty-five. During the past year very few outside engagements were accepted by the orchestra although it has always been a source of entertainment during activities connected with the school. I pon the presentation of the annual play, “Brown of Harvard, the orchestra played before and after the performance and between the acts. The music was greatly appreciated by all and not one restless moment was spent during the shifting of scenes. If the progress of last year’s orchestra has any bearing whatever on its future career, the standard it has achieved will do much to place De La Salle among the best schools in music. 1’iK f Fifty-Six Mackey, Hiisilingcr.

THE SENIOR COUNCIL TI7ITH the entrance of the new seniors, the class of ’27, into their VV various duties last September, came the formation of the Senior Council. This organization was made up of officers of the class, together with sixteen representatives chosen by them from the three senior rooms. It was headed by Edward J. Percival, class president. The purpose of this new organization, unknown at De La Salle until this time, is to attend to all senior class matters in such a way that they may he swiftly and efficiently deliberated upon and executed; also to support and aid Brother Patrick in the administration of senior class problems. It renders the senior class government a smooth running, efficient body. When matters of importance that affect the individual classmen come up, the council sums the matter up and submits it to the senior class to be voted upon. 'This gives each senior an opportunity to protect his individual rights and does away with all trace of autocratic government. Although the senior council has functioned hut one year, and has been forced to overcome opposition from several quarters, it has made its mark in De La Salle. It is to be hoped that the class of ’28, and each succeeding class, will uphold and successfully strengthen this class institution given birth by the senior class of 1927.

THE BOOSTER CLUB THE Booster Club comprises the boys who rate highest in the sale of tickets for school activities throughout the year. The membership in this club was thought to be an incentive to the students to strive to be among the leaders in all such undertakings. The organization is in its infancy, and, because of adverse circumstances, the members of the club this year were chosen solely from the leaders of the Athanasian Benefit raffle. The first twenty boys in the sale of chances for this raffle became members of the club. In the future, however, every drive of the year will be counted and an average taken. When the club was founded the members deemed it essential that they, as any other organization, should have unity. So, in their first step toward this end, they held a special meeting and officers were elected. They are: Joseph Tromizak, President; George Bedard, Vice-president; John J. Conroy, Secretary, Roy Cavanagh, Treasurer. This club is one which has long been needed at De I.a Salle and is one which should prove to be among the best when it is developed. Let us hope that much interest will be taken in the revival ot this club next year. Page Fifty-Eight Smith, Schiminiky, Rilcv, Ritten, Harthcl ami Klnrsgcs.

DE LA SALLE AUXILIARY THE De La Salle Auxiliary has just completed its second year as an active club and a necessary factor in the school’s activities. The club has grown since its birth two years ago, and last year realized great results. The primary object of the organization is to aid in securing members for the St. De La Salle Auxiliary in the yearly drive. The members of the club, besides working themselves, aid the cause by acting as captains to groups of underclassmen. Although the drive, which netted the equivalent of four hundred members, was not so successful as last year, it was in no part the fault of the captains. These boys made their presence ever felt and checked up daily on the rooms in their charge. At an early meeting of the Auxiliary, Richard Dynes was elected president, Joseph Tromizak, vice-president, Willard Kiesner, secretary, anil John J. Conroy, treasurer. This organization has already made its mark at De La Salle. Although its work causes it to function but a few weeks, it has come to the limelight as one of the most active clubs. Page Fifty-Nine C. Peters, I.ush, J. Peters, C. Gagnon. THE LIBRARY A FEW volumes, made up of donations from students, Alumni, and -tJL the Knights of Columbus, comprised the original De La Salle library, founded by Brother Joel in 1924. For two years, he, aided by the library fee, increased the size until, at the time of his being called away from De La Salle, it numbered four thousand volumes. Brother Philip, Brother Joel’s successor, during the year 1925-26. besides purchasing many new volumes, sent out an appeal for contributions, which was nobly answered, swelling the si e of the library to ten thousand volumes. With the opening of school in September, Brother Michael, assistant librarian, succeeded Brother Philip, who had been removed from Minneapolis. Under Brother Michael’s direction, the library has obtained many new volumes. During the past year, contributions were numerous, the most notable ones being: twelve volumes given by Lawrence Lyons, 26 graduate; a fifteen-volume set of Dickens contributed by Emory Smith, present senior; and numerous magazines given by Roger Lewis. The library now contains books on general science, chemistry, biology, physics, history, classics and fiction. Current magazines are at the disposal of all. It comes into special use during the noon hour, when many pupils turn their spare time into moments applied to studying the next lesson or to doing reference work. Page Sixty GLEE CLUB A MONO the active organizations that have brought notice to them-jlI. selves at Dc La Salle this year, the Glee Club takes an important place. Its prominence is accentuated by the fact that it is a new activity having been introduced this year by Mr. Elmer H. Bohlig, head of the music department. Its youth, however, does not seem to be a troubling factor, as it has received success that a much older organization would deserve. The Glee Club consists of twenty-five talented members. A call for members in the beginning of the year netted a turnout of over ninety students. These were given private tryouts and the members of the club were then chosen. Later quartettes consisting of members of the Glee Club were formed for the purpose of singing on special occasions. Members of the Glee Club also rendered selections at “Brown of I larvard.” Mr. Bohlig, in organizing the Glee Club used a different method than is usually applied. I Ie felt that the same purity of tone found in string instruments could easily be developed in ensemble singing. That an educational institute should build up and develop an art is the contention of Mr. Bohlig. A glee club, in addition to being organized to give amusement, uses the art of music as an educational factor in student life. MRS. FRED C.

Treas. ALUMNI A DISTINCTIVE feature of I)e La Salle High School is its Alumni ■ JL Association, which is probably one of the best organized and has a greater percentage of memberships than any other high school alumni body in the city. Much of this success is undoubtedly due to the intense activity of J. P. Hessburg, former president of the Association, and Nor-bert J. O’Rourke, new president. In the annual election, held in January, Norbert J. O'Rourke was elected president, succeeding James P. Hessburg. Other officers are: Patrick H. Carr, vice-president; Roger J. Lewis, treasurer; John L. La Belle, secretary; and John P. Fudali, assistant secretary. An outstanding event in this year’s history of the Association was the annual banquet held in January, which with an attendance of three hundred and fifty members broke last year's record by over one hundred. It is rumored that the initiation planned for the 1927 class is to be one that will surpass all others. To the members of this class, it will be a happy moment when they become members of an organization which so closely binds the ties between old school time memories and present worldly activities. ! tgt Sixty-Two Mrs I M.

PATRONESS SOCIETY rVVO years ago, the mothers of the boys in De La Salle I ligh School, realizing the benefit to be derived from uniting in a society for the purpose of advancing the work of Christian Kducation, organized under the name of the De La Salle Patroness Society. The primary object of the organization is the promotion of the welfare of students attending I)e La Salle. Those eligible to membership are mothers, sisters, or relatives of boys attending the school; also immediate relatives of alumni. From the small group of twenty-five women who organized the Society, the membership has grown to well over two hundred. The Patroness Society has handled a great sum accumulated through dues and benefit parties. With this money a large amount of equipment has been purchased for the school such as card tables, chairs, dishes, glasses, table linen, silverware, kitchen equipment, and a steel cabinet to be used for storage purposes. One of the most pleasant duties of the Patroness Society is to act as hostess for the dinners given to the boys engaged in the school activities.

SEASON REVIEW THE passing of the 1926-1927 season marks the termination of one of the most successful in the history of athletics at I)e La Salle. A conference and a tournament championship arc still ringing in the ears of Island basketball followers while the football and hockey teams have no shameful records. In the past season, with only green material to start with, Coach Roberts moulded an eleven which cast glory on the school on many occasions and which rated high among other Catholic schools. It has been acclaimed by many as the best grid machine of Purple and Gold history. The hockey team also finished the season with a high percentage despite a delayed start and adverse circumstances. But the crowning point was the double victory of the basketball team. Although they won the conference championship, they were forced to enter the St. Thomas Tournament in order to represent Minnesota in national competition at Chicago. In the latter tourney they were defeated in the second round by one of the strongest teams represented. These facts obviously show that athletics are steadily becoming of a high caliber at De La Salle. Let us hope that the same increase and interest will be ever evident in coming years. Page Sixty-Five BROTHHR EUGENE Athletic Director GEORGE ROBERTS Coach THE ATHLETIC STAFF GEORGE Roberts started his second year as the De La Salle athletic coach last tall with the football team. With only two regulars back he put into the field an eleven which was fighting at all times, a team that would never give up hope. We look back now to that strenuous ten weeks and take oft our hats to the man who moulded that team. Basketball found only three lettermen remaining of last year’s championship quint and only one of these was a regular. I le so ably developed the team that for the second consecutive year De La Salle was represented at Chicago. The baseball team also showed up well under the tutelage of Mr. Roberts. It is the ardent hope of all who know him that he will remain at De La Salle for many years to come. We wish him all the success in the world in his future endeavors. Brother Eugene, Athletic Director, who has been connected with De La Salle teams for three years, should come in for his full share of praise. Always with the best interests of the teams and the school at heart, he has done all in his power to develop athletics in the institution. Patjc Sixty-Six FOOTBALL REVIEW THE long grind of the 1926 football season was finally ended when the De La Salle gridders went down fighting before the strong St. Cloud Cathedral eleven on the short end of a 7-6 count. Two wins, one tie, and four losses sum up the year's work. Not a high percentage, but what was lost in points was made up for in the reputation the team gained and the respect others held for the clean, fighting lads of the Island school. Starting out the season with a large squad which contained only two veterans, Coach George Roberts moulded eleven men into a team inside of two short weeks that put fear into the hearts of the North High gridders when they were met in the first tilt of the year. The annual opening game with North I ligh saw the Islanders spring a pleasant surprise on their followers when they not only out-fought the Polar eleven hut also slipped over a touchdown on the team that bowed in defeat only once in the City Prep League. The marker came as the result of a pretty pass play late in the third quarter. It was the first time since the two elevens have met on the gridiron that this has ever been done. The spectacular open field running of Hyland and Miller together with the excellent punting of Fvten were features of the contest. On defense, the line held well in the face of heavy odds in the persons of seven huskies who would be a credit to a college team. After a bitter fight the game finally ended 13-6 in favor of North. Page Sixty-Seven Mechanic Arts of St. Paul was the next opponent of the season. Again the Islanders were outweighed from ten to fifteen pounds to the man. Not daunted by size, and believing in the old theory “the bigger they are, the harder they fall,” the team went right to work and scored a touchdown before the first period was over. A hurricane of spectacular end runs by Hyland and Miller literally swept the Trainers before the Purple and Gold machine. Two points were donated by the St. Paul team’s fullback when he punted over his head and then fell behind his goal line for a safety. In the second half De La Salle continued its lightning like offense with an aerial attack which was not stopped until Ruane jumped and pulled down a long heave for the last touchdown, making the score 15-0. On the following Friday the Islanders ran up against the strong eleven of St. Thomas Academy, which has the reputation of turning out athletic winners in all sports. The game started out fast but the Islanders had a lot of fight taken out of them when a St. Thomas lineman picked up a fumble and ran fifty yards for a touchdown. The end of the half found De La Salle repelling the plunges of the Cadet backs for four downs on the six-inch line. The Purple and Gold machine got off on a slow start in the second half and the Academy scored again. In the fourth quarter after three linemen were removed because of utter exhaustion the Cadets slipped over the last touchdown for an 18-0 victory. St. John’s of Collcgeville journeyed to Minneapolis to meet De La Salle in the next contest of the season with a record of not having been defeated on the gridiron in three years. Impressive, but the fact did not put fear into the Islanders as they proceeded to run rough shod over the Johnnies to the tune of 20-6. The gridiron classic of the Island school was next on the schedule—the annual battle with Cretin, our traditional rival. It proved to be a “battle royal.” Neither team willing to accept defeat, the game ended in a 20-20 tie that will long be remembered. The gridiron warriors hit the trail for Faribault where Shattuck Military Academy was met in the sixth game of the season. The Shads presented by far the heaviest lineup the team had to face all season. They scored a field goal in the first half but came right back in the third period to shove over a touchdown. De La Salle's speedy backs got into action and together with a passing attack scored on the highly touted Cadets. Weight began to tell and the Academy lads drove the Islanders relentlessly before them to score the final marker in the last few seconds of play for a 17-7 win. The curtain for the 1926 season was rung down two weeks later when De La Salle traveled to St. Cloud in search of another win. Expecting an easy win the Cathedral lads started off in a fast style which the Islanders quickly checked. Every inch of ground was bitterly contested, but before the half ended, the team put over a touchdown after Fyten had carried the ball fully sixty yards on line plunges averaging twelve yards a try.

BASKETBALL PLAYING brilliantly throughout the entire season anil displaying uncanny preciseness of attack, the I)e La Salle Basketball team emerged from the most successful year in Purplc-and-Gold history. The Islanders terminated the brilliant season by journeying to Chicago to participate in the National Parochial Tournament. The 1926-27 season was officially opened when Coach George Roberts called all candidates for the floor team together for the first practise session on November twenty-second. Sixty aspirants for varsity honors answered the call. Building his team around Captain Frank I lyland and John Ruane, Coach Roberts put a team on the floor two weeks later that was strong enough to tackle any high school quint in the Twin Cities and make a creditable showing. On this occasion the Luther Seminarians were taken in by a 28-9 score. Two days later the Islanders tasted defeat at the hands of the strong North quint, and, with only three days rest, a trip to Stillwater was made where the Purple-and-Gold cagers dropped another tough tilt by a 20-14 count. In the first conference contest of the year Coach Roberts’ men emerged victorious over St. Mary's of Bird Island after being threatened by a last minute rally that netted three field goals. The score was 21-16. Page Sixty-Sine Returning from this trip, De La Salic took the Washburn High team into camp by the one-sided score of 40-1 1 in a game that clearly showed the offensive power of the Island live. The initial encounter following the holidays saw the Purple-and-Gold cagers again bow in defeat to the rangy sharpshooters representing Mechanic Arts High of St. Paul. Following this the Islanders avenged the previous defeat when they downed the strong Polar machine on the Island, count, 27-23. The St. Cloud Cathedrals were the next victims for the De La Salle five in the second conference victory when they were defeated by a 14-11 count in a fast game. Cretin I Iigh School of St. Paul was met and defeated by the Islanders in the third conference game 18-12. Johnny Ruane proved to be the mainstay of the team at the running guard position. The Purple-and-Gold cagers suffered their only conference defeat at the hands of the St. Thomas Cadets by an 18-16 count in a thrilling encounter. I)e La Salle again climbed into the top notch of the league standings when they won their second tilt from Cretin by a 23-10 score. Ruane, I lyland, and Farrell played brilliantly in the Island victory. The Islanders conclusively proved that they had returned to their old time form when they downed St. Thomas quint 24-10 in the second meeting of the two teams. The Islanders wound up their conference season with victories over St. John’s and St. Cloud respectively. The rangy Collegevillc quint was downed by a 25-19 count. In the most thrilling and exciting game of the season the Purple-and-Gold basketcers emerged victorious by a one point margin over the fast Cathedral five from St. Cloud after a bitter battle. Inc last two wins cinched first place for the Islanders and for the second successive season they annexed the X. W. Catholic Conference Championship. Filtering the fifth annual St. Thomas Tournament, decided favorites to win, the Island five played true to form and ran rough shod over their three opponents in fast games. Cretin was eliminated in the first round 24-7. The semi-final tilt saw De La Salle swamp the St. John’s quint, conquerors of St. Thomas, by a 29-7 count. Superior Cathedral was defeated 28-12 in the Championship contest. De La Salle was awarded the Archbishop Dowling trophy for possession until tournament time next year. Gold Basketballs were presented to the eight members of the team. Johnny Ruane was placed on the All-Star five selected by the College Varsity players by a unanimous vote. It was generally agreed that Ruane was the best running guard seen in the past five tourneys. Tommy Farrell, lanky pivot man, was selected as center of the All-Star quint. The team accompanied by Coach Roberts and Brother Fugene, Athletic Director, journeyed to Chicago to participate in the National Tournament sponsored by Loyola University. St. Ambrose of Davenport, Iowa, was defeated in the first round game—17-14. Roman Catholic High of Philadelphia was the second round opponent. After a bitter fight the Islanders were nosed out by the team that went to the finals. J'tu f Sternly Gibbons, Hyland. Burke, Klingbcrg, Gcarty, Dyne , Tomaszewski and Miller. I). Farrell, Mackey.

BASEBALL PROSPKCTS for a championship baseball team loomed very brightly with six lettetmen of the 1926 team returning to don their spikes and gloves. To swell the total, veterans, municipal city team men, and ineligible members from 1926 answered the first call of the season. The veterans returning from last year’s team were: Captain Joseph Tomaszewski, catcher; Francis 1 lyland. shortstop; Clarence Fyten, center field; Edmund Burke, left field; Vincent Mauren, second base; and Michael Langncr, pitcher; John McLaughlin, captain in 1925, returns to cover the initial sack; Dick Dynes, Clyde Cutter, James Gray of local experience are seeking some of the vacant berths. The team is rapidly growing in strength, and seems ready to print its name in De La Salle I listory. Joe Tomaszewski did the regular backstopping last year and took care of the job in an enviable manner. “Fink” Hyland, our three letter man needs no explanation other than his name. “Red” Mauren flanked him and bolstered up the team wonderfully. “Mike” Langner hopes to again mess up a few batting averages, while Burke and Fyten will flank these sterling infielders; at the initial sack John McLaughlin will stretch and dig 'em out of the air and dirt. Those above with two or three years’ experience behind them should produce a team immortal in our History. Page Seventy-One Roberts. Mlekodnj. Pcrdvnl, Sampson, ami Bro. Eugene. Conroy.

JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM A 1.1 MOL GII the De La Salle Junior’s Basketball Team hung up no xl. records the past season they did much to bring the Northwest Championship to the school. Following out a new policy Coach Roberts kept from twelve to twenty men close at hand during the regular schedule games of the varsity quint. As a result many of the members of the Junior squad saw action during the season. Notable among these are Captain Richard Dynes, John Conroy, Frank Mlekodaj, Clyde Cutter, and Frank Sampson. All took part in several important conference victories for the Purple-and-Gold Champions. A few weeks before the end of the season it was decided to divide the large squad into two teams in order to enter two quints in the St. Thomas Tournament. This was done and after about ten days practise together they were entered into Class “B” of the fifth annual St. Thomas Basketball Tournament. Their first opponent was St. Mary’s quint of Sleepy live. In one of the fastest and closest games of the entire tourney the Purple-and-Gold cagers were nosed out of victory by the slim margin of 17-16. I he game was close, as the score would indicate, and it was tough on the boys to hear the gun just as a basket by Conroy put them within a winning margin. Only two players of the Junior five will he available for service on next year’s team. I hese are Sampson and Ennen. Page SrienlyTxco HOCKEY DUE to a late start the Island sextette was only able to play five games, these with local high schools. The team did not enter the city league as the members wished to get into high school competition. Summing up their total, the Purple-and-Gold won one game, lost two, and tied two. The Islanders dropped the initial tilt to North mainly through lack ol practise, but even with this the Polars met stiff opposition. North’s lone goal came in the last period when Yerxa registered. The second contest between the Islanders and Folwell was a bitterly waged battle, as can be seen by the count 0-0. The Edison game found the Islanders at their height and it can be said that Edison was fortunate in having a tie count. In this game, the Pur-ple-and-Gold defense worked with precision and led by Fyten’s charge down the ice they were able to score just after the opening whistle when Bob Meehan's shot rang home, only to see the score tied in the final minutes. The second tilt with Cretin proved to be the best played game of the season. Clarence Fyten by far outshone anybody on the ice, and time and again skated the length of the ice but only to lose the puck or have it intercepted. Fyten rang up the only score of the game when he counted on his own rebound in the first period. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL DE La Salle was represented by one of the strongest Frosh quints seen at the school in several seasons. Mingled among the large throng of players who turned out for the “varsity” team, it was several days before the first year men were put in a group by themselves. They practiced faithfully for two weeks and were rewarded by having the honor of opening up the 1927 season with a preliminary game preceding the Luther tilt. Winning this contest the Purple and Gold Frosh kept working hard and rapidly developed into a fast, hard-playing team that gave the Junior five many a good tussle. Two or three other fast aggregations were met and defeated including the championship grade school team of the Ascension school. Then came the first defeat. It was sustained at the hands of the Cretin yearlings on the large St. Paul Armory floor with two regulars missing. Showing a complete reversal of form the plucky little bunch of scrappers came back a week later and downed the St. Thomas Frosh by a 19-4 count after holding the Cadets scoreless for three quarters. On the following Friday the Island first year men took part in the triple victory over our traditional rival, Cretin, when they triumphed over their former victors by a large score. This tilt ended the season for the Purple and Gold freshman cage quint. Page Seventy-Three HA TFIEL. l%)2' champions ' r 'y-y 0tt, WEARERS OE THE D. L. S.

('Fo Herman) Listen here, Tomato, are you the egg that stole some peaches out of the Royal Orchard ? Herman: Not guilty, your Honor. (Or whatever they say to Kings.) Daniel : And how. King: We have evidence to the contrary. (He takes out a typewritten report and dances over it.) Numerous peach stones were found in your ash can. Peach Pic was served at your house on two different occasions, and last but not least, you were also seen out with a couple of peaches. Is this true? Herman: Yes. King: For a punishment, I hereby sentence you to be a Peach Free for all ages to come and every time a person shall tell a falsehood under your branches, you shall lose some of your fruit. Daniel: Huzzah and a couple of whoops. King: Take him out and plant him. (He reaches for his magazine.) Daniel and Herman exit doing the Black Bottom.

At the rise of the curtain there are two statues, one on either side of the tree but facing each other. One is the Discus Thrower and the other is Venus dc Milo. Yes vs: I wish you would quit pos- ing and be yourself for a while. Can’t you change to a different position? I get so tired of watching you day in and day out.

Discus: Well, cookie, I wouldn’t boast about it if I were you. I was probably in the front window of Jake Haltz-enheimcr’s saloon. (Laughs villainously.) Out of a job now. Venus: Do you know that 1 am a masterpiece of that great man, Henry Ford? He studied for fifteen years. Discus: How could he be so dumb? I’ve won many prizes. I’ll never forget that time when I won first prize in the Colisseum in Rome from King Louis the Fourteenth and was received with loud acclaim. ( Thirteen peaches fall and the curtain follows their example.) Scene Three There is no one on the stage when the curtain rises hut presently, Lila the flapper robin flies in and lights on the lower branch. She takes out her powder puff and powders her beak. Presently, Hector, the Shiek, enters and sits on the uppermost branch. He begins to whistle “Ain’t She Sweet?” Although Lila does not look up, she knows that Hector is there just the same. Hector: Hello Hotsy. Lila: Hello Totsy. (She continues to powder her beak.) Hector: Where do you live? Lila: Out in a maple tree on the Lake of the Isles Boulevard. Apartment four. Hector: Humm. Kind of a Ritzy district, isn’t it? Lila: I’ll tell the feathered com- munity. (She replaces her pouder puff in her acorn vanity case.) Hector: Guess I’ll come down or do you want to walk up a flight and save ten dollars? Lila: So’s your old man’s tail feathers. (Hector flies down to Lila.) H ector : Do you know that you have the most beautiful eyes that I’ve ever seen? Both of them. Lila: Oh, do you really think so? (She looks at him coyly or whatever way one bird looks at another.) How many have you told that to? Hector: You are the first one. (Three peaches fall to the ( round. One stone bounces about three feet hitting a cow and knocking it down.) Lila: I don’t usually talk to strange birds. (Four peaches fall to the ground.) Hector: Say Hotsy, get the mop. Lila: Well, toodle-oo. See you at the Canary’s brawl Saturday night. They Both Exit. Scene Four A Scotchman and Irishman are discovered sitting under the tree. Irishman: That bov of mine in college certainly spends a lot of money. Every letter I get from him he asks for an increase in allowance. I am thinking seriously of taking him out of college. All he has learned is how to spend money. And how. Scotchman: Nonsense, old man, don’t be so hard on the boy. Be generous with him while he is young. (Fifteen and a half peaches fall.) Let him have what he wants. When my boys were in school I let them have whatever they asked for, twice. (Three branches drop to the ground.) I believe in being generous. Do you know that I donated ten thousand dollars to the town library last week! (A cracking sound is heard like someone groaning. The Scotchman looks up.) Look out! 'I he tree is falling down!

Fred Holzapfel with his collar hut-toned ? and Did You Ever Hear Some of Fed Helin’s excuses? Willard Kiesner’s wooden heels? Judson O’Donnell play the piano? Clarence Fvten sing? Edmund Burke talk seriously? and Did You Ever Try— To cat lunch and recite at the same time? To cram the night before an exam? To copy? To eat in the cafeteria ? To he an example for the Freshman? and The Answer Is—No; (Chorus) we did not! ❖ If all the good people were clever, And all the clever people were good, 'I'lie world would he nicer than ever We thought that it possibly could. But somehow, ’tis seldom or never The two hit it off as they should, The good are so harsh to the clever, The clever so rude to the good. Eli .. Woods wort ii. A Scare? Lavellc (to editor of Journal) : Sir, I have just finished a course in Journalism and would like to get a iob on your paper.

THE LAST OF THE SNAPS Page Eighty-Nine More Prose Than Poetry, My School Career Or Much Ado About Lots of Things Mary had a little lamb, It cost her just a dime. Hut now 1 guess I’ll stop this verse ’Cause I can’t make it rime. Mary had a bright new nickel. It was bright and shiny, too, But now she hasn’t got it any more Because she went and spent it. Little Hector had a rabbit With a soft white Huffy tail. Thanksgiving came as is its habit And so does end my tale. The boy stood on the burning deck And stood and stood and stood, He had catarrh and couldn’t smell The smell of burning wood. Little boy blue come blow your horn And help me through this traffic I’ve got a date for tomorrow morn And must do something drastic. ’Twas midnight on the prairie Twas lunchtime on the deep, Hut I knew naught about these things ’Cause I was fast asleep. Little Jack Horner sat in the corner Eating a De La Salle sandwich Hut soon he got up and went for a knife ’Cause it was a De La Salle sandwich. Cias, gas, give her gas Gently down this street Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, The cop’s not on his beat. ’Cause I don’t care and I don’t mind In all my subjects I’m way behind Ha ha! Ho ho! (me, too). So I Hear Hochnak (to librarian): Give me the Life of Julius Caesar. Librarian: I’m sorry but Brutus took it long ago. I came to school a lowly frosh, I trod throughout the old school hall, Hut now I’ve got all o’er that bosh, For I have felt the Soph’mores call. My second year I then began. My Latin, Hist’ry all I passed, To old man trouble tied the can. And in the third year was I classed. 1 was a Junior just the same, Now isn’t that the strangest quirk, In June a Senior I became Now with the Seniors I can work. At last I reached my high ideal, Into the Senior class I came To pass I studied a great deal, I knew that life was a hard game. Adios, fair Alma Mater, dear. With much regret do I retrace, Hack to the time of that first year When I spent my happiest days. Emory Smith, ’27. •s The Freshman’s Ideal Oh, I’d like to be a senior And with the seniors stand, A fountain pen behind my ear And a notebook in my hand. I wouldn’t he a president For all that money can bring. I’d like to be a senior And never do a thing. Not Lonesome Hedard : I see marks have gone down in Germany. McLaughlin (looking at report card): What do you mean, in “Ger- many ?” Ouite True Mulvihill: Heforc I marry I am go- ing to get a girl who can take a joke.
