AT Glencoe, Mo., about thirty miles to the southwest of St. Louis, is located La Salle Institute, the Novitiate, or house of entrance, of the Christian Brothers for the middle western province. Here resides the official head of the district, the Provincial-Visitor, who at the present time is Brother Leopold. F. S. C. La Salle Institute comprises three departments, namely, the Juniorate. the Novitiate, and the Scholasticate. or Normal School. The Juniorate is the home of the boys, recruited from all the schools of the District, who prepare by prayer and study to fit themselves for the religious life. The Director of this department and a capable staff of teachers give their best efforts to train and educate the young aspirants. Ample play grounds contribute much to the health and physical well-being of these boys. The suitability of Glencoe for this particular purpose is perhaps unsurpassed in its facilities. The Novitiate proper is the department where the religious formation of the postulants is undertaken after they have completed the course in the Juniorate. The Master of Novices has the direction of these young men. It is here that aspirants are clothed with the religious habit and are instructed in the duties and obligations of the state they have embraced. At the close of the Novitiate year they are admitted to vows. The Novices enjoy all the advantages that this secluded spot offers and in quiet and retreat they can acquire the spirit and virtues of the religious life. The purpose of the Scholasticate is to continue the religious formation, but much time is devoted to study that will fit them for the duties of the Christian teacher. The course they follow leads to an A. B. degree, the standard requirement now demanded for teachers in accredited high schools. La Salle Institute. Glencoe. Mo., is a quiet and peaceful place of abode, where youths with an ambition to serve God as Catholic educators spend their time of preparation for the spiritual life of the Christian Brother and are fitted for the arduous work of the teacher. The outward surroundings arc the best possible for those hours of thoughtfulness and intellectual work that are required of the students. The location is healthful, while the general equipment and facilities of the institution ensure the comforts of home, if comforts be the words to use in reference to a religious house, where prayer, unremitting work, and self abnegation so largely engage those who dwell therein.

We are now at the end of our journey and as we look back over the years spent at De La Salle we recall many pleasant happenings. September 7. 1924. marked the beginning of our course. We were ushered into four classrooms. Being unacquainted at first we felt a bit strange but this soon passed and we formed a lasting friendship with the Brothers and our fellow classmates. Our first object in coming to school was study and we immediately settled down to diligent work. Several of our subjects were new but we were determined to master them. With the opening of school each class entered its team in the intramural indoor league. Freshman II reached the finals, only to lose, in a hard fought game, to Junior III—the school champions. We proved to be loyal followers of the football team and at the games a good representation was always present. Examinations soon came. We were prepared and very few met with disaster in the conflict. The results as a whole were very satisfactory. Basketball came upon us with a rush. In the noonday league, the class of ’28 was well represented on the various teams. Brother Henry organized a Freshman quintet that went through the season undefeated. One member of this team was invited to try out for the heavyweight five and won a “D for his efforts. Amateur dramatics was the next activity that interested the Freshmen. Two of the class had roles in the annual school play, Seventeen.” The remainder of the year passed quickly. Spring came and we directed our attention to baseball which, like the other sports, turned out well. Two Freshmen made the school team and materially aided it in its many victories. Before long the final exams were upon us. Once more success attended our efforts and—WE WERE SOPHOMORES—YE-A-OW. After the holidays we returned, a few less in number, but filled with an ambition to do greater and better things. Still more went out for football and basketball. Two members of the class had berths on the basketball quintet which won the Northwest Parochial Championship. The same two Thespians were again enrolled in the cast of the annual play, The Toastmaster. in which they performed very creditably. Spring meant baseball and. as usual, another championship team was put on the diamond. June arrived and thus another year was finished. We were soon able to laugh at the world as Juniors. Page Thirty-Six The following September found us again in the halls of De La Salle, once more to battle the giant “Study.'' Although during the first two years of our high school career two of the class had been connected with the “Islander. this year a keen interest in journalism was shown by several members. King Football again reigned and when the call was made for candidates for the varsity, our class was right in front. We had the finest representation on the team in the school, and they were instrumental in the success which the pigskin chasers of De La Salle attained. Two classmates were members of our championship basketball team which represented the Northwest in the National Catholic Tournament, held at Chicago. The results of the mid-year examinations proved detrimental to a few. but to the majority they were unharmful. Baseball again gripped us and we followed with interest the school nine. In this athletic activity De La Salle was very successful. Four members of our class had important roles in the play. “Brown of Harvard. June arrived, and the final exams being over, we departed for our last school vacation days, soon to be reunited as Dignified Seniors. Coming back in September we again entered the old camping grounds, ready to commence our last year of high school. On being showed to our rooms, we were indeed glad to learn that Brother Cassian. Brother Luke and Brother Eugene were to be our teachers. Football again loomed up and De La Salle was ready to form a team. More than a dozen from this class joined. Frank Gibbons was captain and through his ability there was splendid co-operation among the members of the squad. We followed the team faithfully, rooting for it in victory and in defeat. On February 10th and 12th “Halfback Sandy was staged with six Seniors taking part. “The Private Secretary was produced by the Freshman Dramatic Club to aid us in financing our school annual. We now approach the end of our course, the pinnacle of our ambition— Graduation. T he years we have spent at De La Salle have been most profitable and we feel that we owe a debt of gratitude to the Brothers who have worked hard to bring us to the realization of our goal. Today we stand sixty-two in number. We have persevered to the end and captured the prize. Although our history at De La Salle is completed we are just beginning our real history and with happy memories we bid farewell. Page Thirty-Seven THE JUNIOR DEPARTMENT ON September 8th the portals of Dc La Salle were again thrown open to scholars, old and new. and once more we were to battle the giant “Study.'' Some seventy anxious students waited for the roll call which would transform them into two distinct divisions. Commercial and Scientific. Their anxiety was soon abated. The Commercialites. thirty-four in number, settled down in Junior III. The other thirty-six were divided into two classes. Juniors I and II. The separation, however, did not cool their ardor, for their record is one of which they can well be proud. In the various activities throughout the school they soon showed that they were to be considered among the leaders. In the field of athletics the Juniors made an enviable record. Many who went out for football and basketball were regarded as the stars of the teams. The Junior department took great interest also in the 'Islander.'' In the early part of the year they took over the management of the school paper from the seniors, and if we may judge from what they have done to date, there is every indication that the “Islander” has equalled, if not surpassed, the standard set by previous publications.

JUNIOR I THE members of this class did good work in their Freshman and Sophomore years, but their best record was made this year. John Clarey was appointed Editor-in-chief of the “Islander'' for the second semester. Clarey and Newman had parts in the play, “Halfback Sandy.” This class had a strong representation in athletics. Vincent Gould. Frank Sampson, and Vincent Wallerius were on the Basketball team which went to the finals in the Northwest Parochial Tournament. McCarthy.

Joseph Tillotson and William Hedding were student athletic managers. Hedding also represented Junior II on the gridiron. The class basketball team gained honors in the Junior division, but was defeated by the Seniors in the championship playoff. In a consolation game this team gained a victory over the Sophomore champs. Pagc Forty Top row, left to right: William Job, Ralph Cuidcr, Arthur Kicnzlc, Everett Besnett, John Fleming.

JUNIOR III JUNIOR III is a class that has shown its mettle throughout its existence in this school. In the Freshman year they led the department in many enterprises. The same holds true for the Sophomore term. This year they have led the other Junior classes in several campaigns. They have held the department Mission Crusade pennant throughout the year with the exception of three weeks. They led in the ticket selling campaign for the Freshman Play. For Halfback Sandy” they produced two splendid actors in Richard Barrett and Robert Reddin. Page Forty-One 79 18 UiTIHIMNIRSDBMN THE SOPHOMORE DEPARTMENT AFTER spending an enjoyable vacation of two months we entered once more the halls of our dear Alma Mater, which, after our long absence, appealed to us again and sent a thrill through us as we resumed our studies with new and vigorous energy. In our curriculum for the Sophomore year there appeared two new subjects. Geometry and Biology, together with the usual subjects of Religion, English, and Latin. Soon after the opening of school we decided to form a science club. At the initial meeting. “Sophomore Science Club. was chosen as the official title and the following officers were elected: Charles Cutter, president: Ralph McClellan, vice-president: Joseph Connors, secretary: Effe Abdo. treasurer: and Aloysius Schwaab. critic. About the middle of October we w 5re paid a visit by Brother Julius of St. Louis. He gave us an interesting and inspiring talk on vocation to the Brotherhood. explaining the benefits and blessings derived therefrom. Examinations were now upon us. After two months of study we were about to be put to the test. When the results were published we found that Effe Abdo of Sophomore II came out on top. In athletics the Sophomores distinguished themselves. Several members earned positions on the school teams. The third quarter examinations were held on April 4. and when the results were made known Effe Abdo was still on top with an average of “A” in every subject. The latter part of April found several of the members victims of illness, among them Aloysius Schwaab of Sophomore I. who was called to his eternal reward. Aloysius will long be remembered by his classmates for he not only was an honor student but always a real gentleman. The department is represented at Glencoe, the Christian Brothers’ Novitiate, in the person of William Swaja. who bade us farewell to prepare himself for the religious life. William was an excellent scholar and an inspiration to all of us. Although we regret his absence, we feel that he will make an ideal Christian Brother.

SOPHOMORE I DURING the past year Sophomore I has earned many unique distinctions. It was the first class to send a representative to Glencoe for the year 1927-28. Norman Cavanaugh and Harold Johnson won the honor of representing the Sophomore Department of De La Salle in the district Christian Doctrine contest. Charles Cutter played one of the leading roles in 'Halfback Sandy. Page Forty-Three Top row, left to right: Raymond Mitchell.

They have made a most creditable showing in scholarship, athletics, and other school activities. In the Freshman Play five boys represented the class. Raymond Lilly. Irwin Hougard. Patrick Remington. Richard Arrell. and Douglas Cummings. Scholastic honors were won by Joseph Kasel and John Litchfield. In interclass athletics they have taken every championship and twice played the Seniors for the school title. Page Forty-Six (MjmiNiftsniMN FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY CLANG! and one hundred lost-looking youths wondered what it was all about. It was in the Old Building about nine o’clock of a fine bright September day in 1927. The above mentioned youths were those who. in quest of a higher education, were about to start as freshies at De La Salle. During the third week of school came the call of the “grid.' About four of our classmates answered it. but lightness and inexperience proved to be insurmountable obstacles and they did not have much success. On the evening of October 31st. at the invitation of Brother Director, we held a Hallowe'en Party. Never was an evening more enjoyed and as we left the portals of De La Salle on that memorable night we could truthfully hum “The End of a Perfect Day.” Our freshman voyage was next marked by the arrival of the first quarter examinations. 'Twas a grand and glorious feeling (for those that passed) when the unwelcomed guests had taken their leave. With the opening of the basketball season some dozen freshmen turned out in an effort to make Brother Cassian’s lightweight team. After a fairly successful season four of these were awarded letters. The Christmas holidays approached and on Dec. 16th we left school determined to make the most of our vacation. But vacations, like everything else, must have an end and on January 3rd we returned to school to continue our struggle for an education. Soon the second quarterlies came and passed, leaving us wiser concerning our real and supposed knowledge, but the gloom was partly dispelled when we found that there had arrived a group of boys, looking much like we did a scant five months previous. This turned out to be the Freshmen Mid-year class so we rapidly assumed an air of superiority. Great spirit was displayed in the organization of literary societies in the different rooms as well as the publication of our school paper. “The Islander. On March 18th the Freshman Dramatic Club presented “The Private Secretary” under the direction of Mr. John Seibel. Its success was attested by the more than six hundred who witnessed the performance. At last arrived the day. when we all spruced up and set forth for the photographer. Some have not. as yet. tired of admiring the result. Another some have not looked twice. In the field of such activities as the Mission Crusade, and the disposal of tickets for the plays, the showing made by the Freshmen was one to be looked upon with great satisfaction.

In the standardized tests given by Brother Director they merited an enviable record. Two of their members. Leo Ambrose and Raymond Hogan, played leading roles in The Private Secretary. Page Fifty-One b oaiyOot ovnmiNiftsonMN SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES DURING this school year. 1927-28. a number of new organizations were founded and most of those of last year were continued. Probably the most important of the activities in the school, outside of athletics, was the Islander. The school paper started with Wilfrid R. Posely as Editor-in-Chief and five issues were published before the Christmas Holidays. After the Holidays the staff changed hands. Brother Luke, the faculty advisor having been assigned to another school. Brother Dennis became advisor and selected John Clarey as Editor. The paper kept up its name as the Voice oi the School and had a very successful year. Each department formed a Literary Society under the direction of the English teachers. These societies were to help the work of the English classes and to give the students a practical knowledge of Parliamentary Law. The Senior Literary Society, the first to be formed, was organized early in October with Hugh Hawn as president. The Chemistry Excursion Club was founded at the beginning of the year by the Senior Chemistry classes. The purpose of the club was to make tours o. the local industrial plants, where manufacturing processes were used that would be of interest from the viewpoint of the chemists. Shortly after Christmas the Sophomores formed the Sophomore Science Club, to act in connection with their science classes. The De La Salle Press Club opened its second year of activity with George Ennen as its president. The school organization belonged to the All City Press Club and the Minnesota High School Press Association. Our Club sent six delegates to the yearly State Convention which was held at the University of Minnesota, and John Marshall High School, on the 4th and 5th of November. The Annual Retreat was held at the school on October 10. 11. and 12. Father Moran, a Paulist Father, was in charge of it. The students attended Mass and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament every day. The Retreat was thought by all to be a great success. Two very successful plays were produced at De La Salle this year. The first. Halfback Sandy, was held in the auditorium on the 10th and 12th of February. The house was literally packed both nights, and the crowds got their money s worth, for they were kept roaring with laughter most of the time. The parts were very well played by the students. Frank Hyland and Charles Cutter had the leads. John Sammon took the part of the villain and played it to perfection. The Private Secretary was given on March 18th. the cast being made up entirely from the Freshman Classes. The auditorium was filled at the one performance. The proceeds went for the benefit of the Athanasian. The quarterly Catechism Contest was given by Brother Richard in each department. Appropriate prizes were awarded to the winners.

THE PRESS CLUB THE De La Salic Press Club was formed in the Fall of 1926 by Brother Anselm, with the idea of uniting the staffs of the paper and the year book, and giving these aspiring journalists a chance to talk over methods of improving their publications. Any member of cither staff was automatically a member of the club, but to earn the right to wear the insignia of the organization, he must put forth extra effort. This insignia is a pin of gold with the letters D. L. S.. a quill and an ink bottle on a background of red for the first year pin. green for the second year, and blue for the third and highest. To earn the first, a student must have sixty column inches of material published. To win the second he must have sixty more inches published, and to win the third pin one must be the head of some department, besides repeating the requirement for the second pin. T he type of pins was changed this year to a bronze one for the first sixty inches, a silver for the second, and a gold for the third. The requirements remained unchanged. The De La Salle organization is a member of the All-City Press Club and the Minnesota High School Press Association. The former holds a meeting every month at one of the high schools of the city and our club is usually represented. The M. H. S. P. A holds a convention every year. This year it was held November 4 at John Marshall high school and November 5 at the University of Minnesota. The D. L. S. Press Club was represented by Wilfrid Poseley and John Vincent for the Athanasian. and by John Maag. Henry Hoffinger. Robert Wallace, and Robert Jassoy for the Islander. On October I 2 the club held election of officers for the year. George Ennen was elected President by quite a margin. Arthur Schuster was made vice-president. In the race for Secretary. Henry Hoffinger and John Vincent were tied, and when another vote was taken Hoffinger came out the winner. Vincent was elected Treasurer of the Club.

THE ISLANDER THE fSLANDER opened its activities for the fourth year of its publication on October 1st. The paper started under the guidance of Wilfrid R. Poseley. last year's News Editor, with a staff made up almost entirely of Seniors. John R. Vincent was the associate editor and Arthur Schuster news editor. Frank Hyland and Vincent Maurcn took care of the Sport Department while John Maag and Henry Hoffinger wrote the Features. The business end of the paper was taken care of by Frank Gibbons and his staff of assistants, which consisted of Phillip Lush. Advertising Manager. Albert Paige. Circulation Manager, and Chester Theis. Exchange Manager. After the first issue of the paper was published a number of changes took place. Frank Gibbons resigned and Chester Theis became Business Manager: William McNulty was appointed as Philip Lush's Assistant and Robert Wallace became Assistant Circulation Manager. On November 4 and 5 the Minnesota High School Press Association held its annual con vention at John Marshall High School. The Islander sent four delegates to represent the publication. The Islander and last year's Athanasian were not entered in the contests because they were misdirected and lost. After the Christmas holidays when the Seniors started work on the Athanasian the Islander was taken over by a new staff. John Clarey became Editor-in-Chicf in place of Wilfrid Poseley. Donald Stubbs took over the duties of Business Manager, and Robert Jassoy those of Advertising Manager. The feature department was under the management of Robert Wallace and the sport department under John Sammon. Page Fifty-Five it OVTIHIMNIRSOOMN Inset: Brother Anthony, Director.

Though handicapped in the beginning of the school term by the absence of experienced material. Brother Anthony succeeded in rounding out an organization that proved a benefit to the school. 1 his required much work and effort on the part of Brother Anthony. At the start of the school term, rehearsals were held immediately after school, but on account of the inconvenience which it caused many of the boys who worked after school the time was changed to the evening. In past years the orchestra always practiced during school hours but this year the members of the orchestra always gave their spare time to rehearsing instead of missing their school work. Out of forty-eight rehearsals and engagements, only Joseph Anton and Emmett Boucher maintained a perfect record of being present at every one. Gilbert Gagnon and John Graca missed only one rehearsal. These four boys must be complimented on the way they took their work and the welfare of the orchestra to heart. The orchestra this year was made up of clarinets, cornets, violins, saxophones, a banjo, a flute, a bass and of course a set of drums and a piano. The orchestra always furnished the musical entertainment for the plays and banquets which were held at De La Salle and each time they gave a fine performance. The music which was rendered by the orchestra was always high class music and required much work and study on the part of the boys. The members of the orchestra this year will receive a special type of school letter as a reward for their work and faithfulness. nay,- Fifty Six I.loyd Xcrhurn, Waller l-cavcy, Chester Peter . THE LIBRARY ONE of the organizations of our school which probably has grown more than any other is the library. It was founded by Brother Joel, who started it with a few volumes which he obtained from the Brother’s library and a few small donations. During the first two years many donations were made by members of the Alumni. The Knights of Columbus, and by some of the students. At the end of two years, when Brother Joel left De La Salle, he had raised the number of volumes to four thousand. 7'he next year Brother Philip became head librarian. He sent out a call for contributions, which was generously answered. At the end of last year there were ten thousand volumes in the library. Brother Michael took Brother Philip’s place in 1927. Some very generous donations were received last year from Lawrence Lyons. Emory Smith and Roger Lewis. This year the largest donations were received from Richard Barrett of the Junior division, and from the late Father Gaughan who. when he died, left several hundred good volumes to the De La Salle library. Chester Peters. Lloyd Nerburn and Walter Leavey are the boys who are the Assistant Librarians this year. These boys help Brother Michael keep the books in order, take care of the index files and fill the wants of the students who are seeking aid in their reference work. Pt0c Fifty-Seven Top row: E.

HALFBACK SANDY ON Friday and Sunday evenings. February 10th and 12th. the De La Salle Dramatic Club presented “Halfback Sandy. a college comedy in three acts. The play was produced under the direction of John Seibel. who devoted much of his time for its success. Francis Hyland had the leading role as Halfback Sandy. Diminutive Charles Cutter took the leading feminine role as Mabel Sumner. Joseph Paul portrayed the role of J. Booth MacReady. the “ham actor. Henry Hof-finger. as Joe Fleetwood, was the spirit of the campus. Another very creditable piece of work was performed by John Clarey. as Kenneth Sumner. The villain role was taken by John Sammon. as Philip Krop. Walter Newman, his colleague, had a very difficult role as Bill Short. Arthur Schuster had the character role as Sue. the colored girl. Robert Reddin. as Percy Gordon, was the captain of the varsity football team. Richard Barrett, as Professor Dryden. had another difficult part. Donald Schroeder had the role of Josiah Krop. The ultra-collegians were Philip Lush. Chester The is. James Brosnahan. Frank Sampson. John Maag. and George Ennen. The scene of “Halfback Sandy is laid in the Adirondack Mountains and the university town of Royalton. and the story encircles Sandy Smith.

FRESHMAN CLASS PLAY THE Freshman class of '28 scored a brilliant success on the night of March the eighteenth, when a capable and well trained cast presented “The Private Secretary in the school auditorium. Each member entered so enthusiastically into the spirit of the play that the audience felt they were looking on a scene from real life rather than a play given by amateurs. The humor of the play was furnished by the characters of the Rev. Robert Spaulding and Mr. Cattermole. Much of the success of the performance was due to the untiring efforts of Mr. John Seibel. the director. CAST Mr. Cattermole Douglas Cattermole -Rev.

SEIBEL MR. JOHN SEIBEL. a graduate of Dc La Salle and a member of the class of 1906. is truly a loyal alumnus. He is held in esteem by the boys of the school not only because of the interest he has shown in school activities but also because of the noble qualities of character which he has always displayed in his connections with us. As director of the dramatical productions at De La Salle he has had great success. The Brothers are greatly indebted to him for his assistance in raising funds for Glencoe. The Senior Class is very grateful to Mr. Seibel. who directed the Freshman Play, the proceeds of w'hich were given to our school annual, the Athanasian. In these instances Mr. Seibel sacrificed a great deal of his time for the interest of the school, for which he would accept no reimbursement. but the thanks of the student body of De La Salle High School. Mr. Seibel has also displayed much interest in the athletic side of school life. He proved that he was interested in the teams by giving a dinner to the members of the basketball squad. During the basketball season, when the Alumni had their homecoming game with St. John's, he was one of the leaders who worked so hard to make the event a success. In all the work of the Alumni he has always been a leader, working incessantly for ihe good of the school. The Athanasian Staff, on behalf of the Senior Class and the entire student body of De La Salle wishes to thank Mr. Seibel for all that he has done for De La Salle. Surly IhTIHIMNIRSOtMN Mr. J. J. Molynraux, President Mr. Frank Slravin. Vice-President Mr. Edward Kuava. Secretary Mr. Jamc Murphy. Treasurer ALUMNI THE Alumni Association of De La Salle is a distinctive feature of De La Salle High School. It is the best organized and most active club of its kind in the city and under the guidance of the new officers. Mr. J. J. Moly-neaux. President: Frank Sleavin. Vice-President: Edward Kuava. Secretary, and James Murphy. Treasurer, it has continued to prosper. At the annual Alumni Banquet, which was held on December 6th. over three hundred and fifty members were present. The only conclusion that can be drawn from this representation of school spirit is that the graduates of De La Salle are still interested in the progress of the school and that they are willing to back up any enterprise which may need their assistance. On February 21st. the Alumni held their Homecoming when the De La Salle Basketball Team met the St. John's quint. Before the game a banquet was given by the Alumni to the members of both teams. T he graduating class of 1928 is looking forward to the initiation, when, as members of the Alumni Association, they will, in future years, be able to meet old pals and talk over the happy memories of the school days we are just completing. Pane Sixty-One Mrs. J. M. Paul, President Mrs. F. Uemandt, Vice-President Mrs. M. Herbert, Secretary Mrs. J. Clarcy, Treasurer THE PATRONESS SOCIETY OF 1928 THE school term of 1928 marks the fourth successful year of the De La Salle Patroness Society—four years of perfect co-operation between the school and the home. Everything that this organization undertook was successful. T his was due to the determined and persistent efforts of its members who have united in a systematic way to better the school. On September 30th. when the Parent-Teacher Association met and began their activities for the year. Mrs. Paul, president of the Patroness Society, addressed the gathering. She told the mothers the object of the organization. She also narrated the progress of the society thus far and what it had done for the Brothers and the school. Her remarks ended with an appeal to all the mothers to join them. The large attendance at the second meeting on October 1 3th showed that many new members had joined. The first event sponsored by this Club was a banquet to our representatives on the gridiron, who had just finished a successful season. The first of a series of Bunco parties was held in the school auditorium on Friday evening. October 28th. A few months later they gave their annual banquet to the parents of the students. 'Through these affairs and other social events several hundred dollars have been collected and turned over to the school for the purpose of making a bigger and better De La Salle. Just as a boy looks to his mother to help him in his work so the school looks to the Patroness Society to help it in its many activities. Page Sixty-Two PATRONESS SOCIETY. APRIL 13. 1928 WUDSVDNIMIHIJHD _ , 8X61 „ ATHLETICS REVIEW THE passing of the 1927-28 season marks another successful year in the history of athletics at De La Salle. The football team, under the tutelage of Mr. Roberts, had a remarkable season, inasmuch taking into consideration that he had to mold a team out of raw material in two weeks. The team always managed to give a good account of itself no matter how stiff the opposition. The hockey team had a late start and although they did not win any of their games they obtained some much needed experience which will be of value to next year's team. Coach Roberts had but two lettermen left from his championship team of last year. Around these two men he built an aggregation that defeated North High twice, a feat never before accomplished in the history of De La Salle. The team won nine and lost six of their games during the regular season. Entering the Sixth Annual Tournament at St. Thomas College. Dc La Salle played wonderful ball and succeeded in reaching the finals, in which they were defeated by St. Cloud. All these facts, taken together, only prove that De La Salle is rapidly advancing in the field of athletic endeavor and if the past two or three years' accomplishments mean anything, it will not be long before De La Salle will be well up among the leaders in the city.

Student Manager ::: J Pane Sixty-Seven GEORGE ROBERTS Coach COACH ROBERTS UNDER the guiding hand of Coach George Roberts, the caliber of athletics at Do La Salle has increased to such an extent that every team turned out is feared and respected by all opponents. Last September Roberts faced the problem of moulding a football team that would measure up to the standard set in previous years, out of two veterans and a wealth of raw material. He not only accomplished this, but formed an eleven that surpassed the achievements of any former teams. In basketball. Roberts likewise had but two letter men as the foundation for a team, which would not fail to uphold the reputation established by Dc La Salle quintets. He formed a combination which was strong both offensively and defensively. This team had a fine record during the season, and reached the finals of the Northwest Parochial Tournament. Under the able direction of Coach Roberts, the baseball team developed rapidly, and succeeded in making a creditable showing, with the victories outnumbering the defeats. Coach Roberts is well established at De La Salle due to his success as a coach of the teams under his tutelage. His system is on a firm basis, and its soundness proved. George has a wonderful personality, and is popular with all the boys. He has guided the destinies of the Dc La Salle teams for three years and has been entirely successful. We trust that his success will continue for many years to come. Faye Sixty-Eight HERBERT FRANTA .Wisi.im Coach COACH FRANTA HI-RBKR I (CHIEF) FRANTA made his debut at De La Salle last fall as line coach of the football team. In their choice, the athletic department could not have done better, for Franta. former St. Thomas College star, is well versed in football tactics. Chief Franta began his football career at New (Jim High School. After playing one year as a regular lineman there, he went to St. John's where he starred for two years. He matriculated at St. Thomas College and for four years played as a regular at tackle. In his final year at St. Thomas he was elected Captain, and was honored as All-State Tackle. Mr. Franta worked diligently with the line and imparted much of his knowledge of foot ball to the linemen. He had only fair prospects with which to work, but nevertheless succeeded in forming a very strong line, which charged viciously and tackled hard. Chief was appointed Assistant Baseball Coach and proved invaluable by aiding George Roberts in forming a winning team. Mr. Franta knows a great deal about football and baseball, and we hope the success, which he has experienced in his first year at De La Salle, will also be experienced in future years.

FOOTBALL REVIEW IQROSPECTS for a winning football team were not very bright at Dc La Salle in 1927. with only three lettermen returning. However, they managed to win two and lose one of their conference games, and were forced to bow in defeat to North. Mechanic Arts, and Shattuck Academy, only after the hardest kind of a fight. This is not a wonderful record if one looks at the percentage column, but the team upheld the reputation of De La Salle’s clean sportsmanship. and was held in esteem by all whom they played. A large squad answered the first call, but most of the men were inexperienced, and unskilled in the art of carrying the ball, kicking, blocking, tackling, and other fundamentals so essential to tl e success of a team. With the North High game only two weeks distant. Coach George Roberts faced the task of moulding together an eleven that would be a credit to the school. This he accomplished, and when De La Salle met the Polars on September 25. the Islanders put up one of the best battles they have ever waged against them. The spectacular open field running of Hyland, who totaled more yardage than the combined effort of the North back field, featured the contest. The green line offered strong resistance and at times effectively stopped Munn. De La Salle was the victim of bad breaks when the Polars inter- cepted two of their passes and converted them into touchdowns. Were it not for these unfortunate passes, the game would have been a tie. as the Islanders worked the ball up the field and scored twice, while North also counted twice by their own drives. The game ended 25-12 in North’s favor. North ended the season in a tie for the City League Championship. Page Seventy The team travelled 200 miles for the next game and was rewarded with a 37-0 victory over Superior, for its first Conference win. The Islanders ran riot over this aggregation, with Hyland on a scoring spree to count 25 points and Hawn plunging across the line for two touchdowns. Superior was swamped under an avalanche of passes, line bucks, and sweeping end runs and could not cope with the boys from the Island, who ran like Grange, passed like Freidman. and bucked the line like Joesting. In the third game of the year Mechanic Arts of St Paul administered a 12-0 defeat to De La Salle. The Mechanics outweighed the Islanders twenty pounds to the man. but met with a stubborn resistance all through the game. They were held scoreless in the first quarter, with De La Salle constantly threatening their goal. In the second quarter Hyland was put out of the game for defending himself against Bergman, who attempted to take the ball from Hyland after he had been tackled. This penalty opened a drive for the first touchdown, and with De La Salle losing heart, the Mechanics marched sixty yards down the field to score The try for extra point was blocked by Captain Gibbons' stomach and he had to be carried from the field. In the closing minutes of the third quarter Mechanics intercepted a pass from Miller to Farrell and raced thirty yards to within ten yards of their goal. Marks then caught a pass and ran unmolested over the line for their final touchdown. Sammon. Sampson and Miller played well for the Islanders but. lacking support from their team mates, were unable to score. On the following Friday De La Salle met their second Conference opponents. St. Cloud, on the North High field. The team was out to maintain a 500 per cent rating and proceeded to do so in impressive style. The Islanders scored first due to Hawn's line plunging, but St Cloud quickly evened it up and soon had scored another touchdown to give them a 12-6 advantage. With only a few minutes of the first half remaining. Hyland threw a twenty yard pass to Ennen. who carried the ball to the 30 yard line before being stopped. Another pass to Ennen was good for 1 5 yards, and then Hyland scored on a sweeping end run to tie the game at 1 2 all. In the second half Hyland scored twice in rapid succession, to give the Islanders a 26-12 lead which they held until the game ended. De La Salle journeyed to Faribault next, to battle Shattuck Military Academy. The game proved more of a massacre than a battle, for the Islanders were unable to cope with the brawn and experience of the Shads and were forced to swallow a 41-0 drubbing. The team held them to two touchdowns in the first half, but in the second half the difference in weight began to tell and Shattuck ran up six more touchdowns to administer the wont defeat ever suffered by a team from the Island. The gridiron classic of the year was scheduled for November 11. with the De La Salle team meeting St. John's for the Conference championship. The Johnnies were also undefeated and a strong battle loomed. Bitterly cold weather and a driving wind rendered playing conditions unfavorable, and fumbles were frequent. Hyland s heretofore brilliant field running was effectively stopped, while Hawn's line plunging also lost much of its impetus. St. John s scored first in the initial quarter when they recovered a De La Salle fumble deep in their territory and converted it into a touchdown. The drop kick was wide. Late in the second quarter Kole tossed a long spectacular pass to Klingsborn. He caught the Islanders napping and stepped across the line to make the count 13-0 at the half. In the second period. Hyland. Sammon and Hawn began an assault on the Johnnies that would not be denied, and ended in a Hyland to Sampson pass and a touchdown. The try for point after touchdown failed. A moment later Page Seventy'One Dr La Salle vs. Mechanic Arts. Hyland was tackled behind the goal line and the enemy was given a safety which made the score 15-6. With a few minutes remaining. De La Salle opened with passes to F.nncn and Ball, but most of these were frustrated, due to the slippery condition of the ball. By this victory. St. John's became Northwest Parochial Champions, and De La Salle was relegated to second place in the standings. Another game, to be played with St. Thomas, was cancelled due to an early snowfall and unfavorable weather conditions. A Practice Run.

BASKETBALL REVIEW DE LA SALLE opened its season against Shakopee. who came to the Island floor with a team of veterans, to avenge defeats which had been administered to them in past seasons. The Purple and Gold led by Captain Mauren. Hyland and Sammon. swept them off their feel by a score of 34-14. A week later the Island quint traveled to North's gym to play the Polars. Here, for the first time in De La Salle s history of basketball North was defeated on their home floor. The Purple and Gold were trailing at the end of the first half, but came back in the second with a fast offensive attack to drub the Polars 28-22. Hyland and Gillis starred for De La Salle, while Horn was the best performer for North. Basketball was discontinued until after the holidays. Returning to school, the team soon rounded into form again. The first game at home in the New Year was with North. The Polars came to the Island floor with the sting of defeat which was handed to them on their floor, but again the Purple and Gold proved too strong for them, taking them into camp by a score of 27-24. It was in this game that De La Salle, for the first time, wore their new suits. The team certainly looked nifty in their bright purple and gold outfits. Our boys opened their conference schedule against Cathedral High of St. Cloud. Coach Roberts’ men set the pace for the Granite City team until the fourth quarter when, with but three minutes to go. the Island defense faltered. Page Sevfnty-Four allowing the St. Cloud offense to work through and score enough points to win by a score of 23-18. Sampson was the outstanding man for De La Salle, while Captain Tully was high point man for St. Cloud. Four days later De La Salle traveled to the Saintly City to play Mechanic Arts. The Trainers, with a veteran lineup, outclassed the Island cagers. Our quint tried hard to put the ball through the loop, but it was not in the cards. Hyland. Sampson and Ennen were the only players to count for De La Salle. Hyland being high point man with four baskets and a foul. Hokanson was the best man for the Trainers. The next opponent was Cotter of Winona. Here the Islanders won their first conference game. The game was fast throughout and the final score was 18 14. Mauren and Sammon seemed the best for De La Salle. Paulson carried the honors for Cotter. On February 3. Columbus High of Austin, who had not been defeated for two years, came to the Mill City. They were full of confidence of knocking off the Islanders, but were completely surprised by the fast attack of De La Salle. When the final gun went off the score was 23-14 in favor of the Purple and Gold. On the following Saturday De La Salle opposed the fast traveling St. Cloud team on the Cathedral's floor. The game was featured by the close guarding of both teams, only five baskets being registered between the two teams. The game ended 10-7 in the Granite City's favor. Returning from their trip De La Salle handed Mechanic Arts a beating of 31-26. The game was played at a very fast clip, both teams breaking through the offense in a spectacular manner. Gillis and Mauren were the high point men for De La Salle. 'The next team to come to De La Salle’s floor was the St. John's aggregation. The Johnnies, with a team of giants gave the Islanders a hard fight, but the Purple and Gold were their superiors and took them into camp. 28-24. T his contest was undoubtedly the best fought and most cleanly played game on the Island gym for some years. St. Thomas Academy was the next team to be played. The game was one of the closest fought of the season, the lead changing many times during the course of the four quarters. The Islanders were off to an early lead as a result of baskets by Hyland and Sammon. but this lead was short-lived, for the Pommies soon caught up to them. The game was nip and tuck from start to finish, with the Cadets winning 18-17. In the final scheduled game of the season Coach Roberts' men met Austin. This game proved to be a fitting climax to a successful season for the Islanders. The team managed to edge out a 23-22 win in an overtime period. De La Salle started out fast and took the lead which they held almost continually until the gun went off ending the regular time of play. The score was 19 all. In the extra period. Sammon got a field goal and two free throws to give his team a victory. Entering the Sixth Annual Northwest Catholic High School Basketball Tournament at St. Thomas. De La Salle was out to defend its laurels won last year. The Islanders drew a bye in the first round. In the second the Purple and Gold snowed Sleepy Eye under by the score of 26-7. In the semi-finals. Coach Roberts' men defeated St. John's 20-18. in the most exciting game of the tournament. In the final game De La Salle met St. Cloud and was defeated 32-25.

LIGHTWEIGHT BASKETBALL TEAM ON the sixteenth of December fifteen hopeful stars reported to Brother Cassian as candidates for the lightweight basketball team. After two days of the usual preparatory instructions the aspirants took their places in the gym There, under the able guidance of Brother Cassian. a team was developed into a fair aggregation, playing nine games, winning four. Captain Miller, forward, led his men in a manner that instilled fight in every player on the squad. Schwappach. largely responsible for the victories, was the star of the team. He and Hoch were our two centers and De La Salle was very seldom outjumped. Van De Mark proved himself to be a real star at the running guard position. Giegoldt was without a peer at stationary guard. He constantly blocked his opponents’ shots and very few baskets were made from his territory. Lilly. Davis, Humphrey and Arrell were substitutes who proved their mettle in many of the hard-fought games. Brother Cassian. besides being a skillful coach, is a wonderful man. Kind, considerate, reserved, unassuming, and wi'hal determined and aggressive, he gives the boys who work under his guidance more than a mere training in athlc ics. Every boy who has ever worked with him has conceived an affection born of hero worship for this incomparable coach, as modest in victory as he is sportsmanlike in defeat.

Because of the late start and the adverse weather conditions. Coach Fyten was unable to schedule more than four games. These games were with Marshall. Edison and Roosevelt. In the first encounter with Marshall. De La Salle put a team composed mostly of inexperienced players against the seasoned veterans of the East Side school. Both teams were at a disadvantage because of the high wind which was so bad that the fine points of teamwork and individual ability could not be brought into action. Live five-minute periods were played during which Marshall put three goals past Maag. the Islander goalie. I'hc score at the end of the game stood: Marshall. 3; Dc La Salle, 0. When De La Salle met Edison it was another case of green material against veterans. De La Salle didn't seem to have much of a chance for this reason, and it was only the stellar goal-tending of Gochia that kept down the score. Maag substituted for Gochia in the last period. Gochia replacing Job at center, where he showed his ability by putting in the only De La Salle count. The game ended with the score: Edison. 4; De La Salle. 1. The next game was with Marshall at Logan Park. Both teams played a genuine brand of hockey, but Marshall again showed their superiority by handing us another defeat Job. speedy, diminutive center scored the only point for the Purple and Gold by sinking a shot from the center of the ice. Meehan and Klingberg. by their splendid checking, worked best at defense for Dc La Salle, while the center ice men. Job. Hawn and Leiner. carried the brunt of the Islander attack. Score at the end of the final period, Marshall. 4; Dc La Salle. 1. Although the pucksters did not succeed in winning any of their games, they did. at all times show the fight and spirit which is characteristic of our Dc La Salle teams. The squad was made up for the greater part, of lower classmen, and the experience which they gained in the campaign assures a strong foundation for next year's team.

With an abundance of experienced players from which to choose a squad, prospects were bright for a winning team. A tournament was conducted in April, with the boys who advanced to the semi-finals composing the first four men on the team. Thirty-two boys competed in this tournament. In the quarter-finals. Clinton Gillis. John Downey. Robert Hoch. and Albert Noethen were victorious over George Ennen. James Shea. Edward Hornig, and Fred Lussier. Gillis and Downey entered the semifinals by defeating Noethen and Hoch in hard fought matches. In the finals. Gillis defeated Downey in a terrific four-set struggle. Challenges were permitted by those who had been defeated in the earlier rounds, with the result that Hornig displaced Hoch. while Noethen successfully resisted the challenge of Schuld. George Ennen was appointed manager of the team by Captain John Downey. A heavy schedule was arranged, including matches with Shattuck Academy. North High School. St. Thomas Academy. South.

The sumptuous repast of sardines is finally finished. The Mob: Where’s Chauncey? He's supposed to give a speech. Percy: Where is he. Adele?” Adele: Oh dear me. I'm afraid he's not presentable after that horrid waiter’s faux pas. Percy: I delegate Butse to go and find him.” Butse: Give me a I.uckie and I II go. The Mob: Here! Butse passes the hat and leaves. (Curtain falls to denote lapse of three minutes.) Enter Chauncey with Butse’s clothes on. The Mob: Where were you. Chauncey? Chauncey: Just having a smoke. Mob: Speech. Speech.” Chauncey sits down and buries face in hands. Orchestra plays She dowanna. Chaperone: Don’t be a kid all your life. Chauncey (rising) : Awright. Chauncey: Er — ah — this is rather unexpected. I ah — feel rather weak after my—ah—trying Page Ninety-Four experience. But I—ah will—try to give you a few words. I don't know just what to say. (Denoting many words but nothing said) I er-ah—ah thank you. Sits down. ( S. O. S.) Mob moves to dance floor. Orchestra starts playing for Grand March. Chaunccy gives spectators a treat by leading the March in clothes four sizes too small for him. After stumbling through two dances he retires to the card room. (Curtain) Showing a lapse of four dances and innumerable encores. Chauncey is swamped by ten girls whose programs show this dance to be theirs. He runs away. (Beats them to exit by hairs breadth.) They follow but soon return empty-handed. (Curtain. Denoting dancing until 10:45.) Chauncey sidles through door attracting no attention. He slinks into corner and watches for Adele. Beatrice Z., rushing up. Oh there you are. They start dancing. Chemistry Professor: Do you believe the five dollar gold piece 1 hold in my hand will dissolve in this solution? Student: No sir! You wouldn't put it in if it would. Chemistry teacher: Fred, give the class an example of a substance changing its state. Fred (after a little thinking) : Well, something floating down the Mississippi will go through several states. Another femme slides up. Cuts! They prance away. Another femme slides up. Cuts! They prance away. Another femme slides up. Cuts! They prance away. Another femme slides up. Cuts! They prance away. Another femme slides up. Cuts! They prance away. Sign turns against orchestra. With grinding of brakes it comes to a halt. In the confusion Chauncey finds Adele and disgracefully makes his exit. Goes to corner store and calls taxi. When taxi arrives, Chauncey tells driver to go anywhere and to go there fast, l ime passes unnoticed. They arrive at Anywhere and come to. Time 1 :00 A. M. Taxi-driver: Here we are. sir. Chauncey: Where ? Driver: Oh. Anywhere.” Chauncey: Well, drive to Bryn Mawr. They eventually arrive in Bryn Mawr. Driver: $15.32.” Chaunccy faints. Finis. How are you getting along since your wife left? Tve reached the highest point of efficiency. I can put mv socks on from either end. Ivan: Is the washer the salesman sold you from America, any good?” Mrs. Ivanitch: No. everything goes all right until I get in it and then the paddles knock me off my feet.” Page S'in ely-Five ill nPHE Athanasian Staff for nineteen hundred and twenty eight wishes to extend its sincerest thanks and appreciation to all who have, directly or indirectly, helped in making this book a success.
