Four years have now elapsed since we, unlike these early adventurers, came directly to the Island in quest of treasure, and we did not search in vain. Material wealth was not our goal; we sought a prize of greater worth. Our four years of patient and persevering effort have enabled us to unearth a treasure priceless, permanent, and precious. The Diamonds of Religion, the Gold of Morality, and Silver of Culture have made this for us a veritable Treasure Island. To preserve for the years when reminiscence becomes a source of perennial joy the remembrance of our years of treasure seeking so profitably spent in De La Salle, the Island school we love, we have this ATHANA-SIAN, a treasure trove of memories that the passing years will render precious.

He remained here for two years and then cast his lot with Hopkins High for a spell. Finally seeing his mistake he paddled down the Mississippi and docked at Nicollet Island, his original source of happiness. It is evident that he will further paddle up the stream of knowledge by entering the University after graduation. Innocence and youth should ever be unsuspicious. ’'Tom” entered Dc La Salle from St. Anthony. Though he is not brilliant, yet all of his undertakings have been successful. Consistency is his motto. To most of his classmates. Francis is regarded as a quiet, unassuming youth, but to those who know him intimately, he is a witty fellow. full of life.

In the opinion of his class Greg will be as big a success in the business world as he was at Dc La Salle. Oh sleep! it is a gentle thing, beloved from pole to pole.

His studies were much better in the Senior year than in any previous year. He played a regular position at halfback on the school football team in 1928. and was always very prominent in inter-class athletics. When the fooling is put aside he is very brilliant and will make a real businessman. Al is a jovial, witty, young fellow, always ready to help his classmates (especially in tests) in everything that might be of some assistance to them. In all his work Al has proven successful. being a student and a good mixer which arc the main cogs in that machine called Success. We would not be a bit surprised if some day he were President of the United States or at least Alderman of the 4th ward. Al” has that certain type of personality which enables him to get along remarkably well, not only with his classmates, but also with everyone he meets. Very calm, serene, and mild, not easily angered, he fits in anywhere. Although he docs not take an active part in the activities of the school, he always does his share of the work and is a real student. Al is destined for success in anything he may undertake.

It seems that but a short time ago we entered De La Salle, but now. as the four years have flown rapidly, it is only natural to turn back and review those happy days that are now—only memories. In the autumn of nineteen hundred and twenty-five a group of humble boys entered De La Salle High school for the first time. We were Freshmen. Everything was strange: the boys, the Brothers, the buildings, and particularly the books. Under the guidance of Brother Hilary we soon overcame the difficulties which at first confronted us. The boys and Brothers became friends, and the fundamentals of Algebra. English, and Latin were mastered. Our ambition had been realized we were truly students of De La Salle. The annual play. The Toastmaster. was a success. How we looked forward to the time when we would be Seniors and could take part in the senior play. Finally spring came and vacation followed, but not without the satisfaction of our having seen De La Salle win the Northwest Catholic Tournament at St. Thomas and go to the National Basketball Tournament at Chicago. To our regret they lost in the second round there. We again returned to school in the fall but in a different spirit than that of the previous year. We were Sophomores in the true meaning of the word. One thing encouraged us: we were being recognized. Several men earned places on the football team, one of our sophomore teams won the school basketball championship, and we made a creditable showing in various other school activities. We. as well as the rest of the school, were rewarded for our loyalty to the Athletic teams as De La Salle again won the Northwest Catholic Basketball title. On returning to school as Juniors we were surprised to learn that Brother Patrick had left us. Brother Richard had been appointed director. After choosing between the scientific and commercial courses, we resumed work, realizing that we had a year of intense study before us. We were now upper-classmen and. knowing our responsibility, resolved to be worthy of that name. After the Christmas holidays, the Juniors directed the ISLANDER in a masterly manner. Again De La Salle went to the finals in the Northwest Parochial Basketball Tournament, two of the regulars being members of our class. The Senior Prom, with the Juniors as guests, climaxed a successful year. The year nineteen hundred twenty-eight found us Seniors: happy and unhappy. We were happy because of our position as Seniors, and unhappy because of the thought of leaving De La Salic. Many things, such as rings, class election, the Seniors' play, and above all. the 1929 ATHANASIAN. held our attention. Under the guidance of Brother Lawrence, our faculty advisor, the work on our year book progressed rapidly. Again De La Salle won the Northwest Catholic Basketball Championship, being undefeated in 1 7 games. Three Seniors were among the regulars. Now as graduation draws near we must say farewell to the Christian Brothers who have successfully guided us through years of happy study and to whom we owe a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. After leaving De La Salle, some of us will continue to study: others will go forth into the world unaware of the trials that will come, but be that as it may. we shall always remember our high school days as the happiest and most profitable of our life.

Juniors!—the foremost thought in our minds— for. having successfully passed two of the four milestones in our high school career, we. the academic students of Junior I. returned to Dc La Salle full of hope and ambition. After becoming acquainted with our new surroundings, we immediately began to make ourselves recognized in the eyes of the school. Our group of thirty-three boys, headed by President Effe Abdo. has distinguished itself in all school activities. In scholastics we were well represented by E. Abdo. J. Kasel, A. Johnson and R. Hoch. J. Kasel. A. Johnson and E. Abdo shared honors in the Junior Catechism Contest. The position of Editor in Chief of the ISLANDER was capably filled by Effe Abdo. During the school year, we have had many room activities. The Junior I-Senior I Chemistry Club made many excursions, which proved to be a source of enlightment and enjoyment to the boys of the club. While Junior I had no outstanding athletes in its midst, the students of this room were willing to help out any school project wholeheartedly, and were willing to take for a reward only the satisfaction of having completed another task successfully. l-'crlyfvur JUNIOR II Top Row—William Burns Robert Sczech, Earl Laily, Paul Litecky.

CLASS HISTORY OF JUNIOR II Junior II. under the supervision of Brother Eugene, has made for itsell a name that will not soon he forgotten at De La Salle. Its unfailing ability to give financial aid to the school through ticket drives and other affairs, has made Junior II an outstanding class. It led the entire school in the De La Salle Auxiliary and the Freshmen Play drives. The generosity of the pupils of this class is vouched for by the fact that they have held the mission pennant throughout the entire year. Besides being generous, the boys of Junior II are students. Joseph Lapata and Robert Sc .ech excelled in Catechism. Junior II was represented on the athletic teams by Dick Arrell. To the orchestra the class gave Pat Burgess. Wm. Burns. Joseph Graca. and Joseph Anton. Pat Burgess, who drew cartoons for the ISLANDER, is one of the most promising cartoonists who ever attended De La Salle. Brother Eugene took in home work and gave out penances for three subjects. Brother Lawrence guided the class through the mysteries of bookkeeping. To help them end the day well. Brother Maurice and Professor McMahon took care of the afternoon subjects. Because of its ability, energy, and spirit to accomplish tasks. Junior II will form a very promising group of students for the Senior Class. Fage Forty-five JUNIOR III Top Row John Anderson. Joe ndt rso� . Clifford Nolle. Urban Schwappach. Joseph Dupont.

CLASS HISTORY OF JUNIOR III On September 6th. a group of thirty-five young men returned to De La Salle to continue their scholastic work in the form of a commercial course. After the usual greeting of classmates and teachers, we went to work determined to fit ourselves for the business world. Our one regret was that we were assigned to the old building, in which the temperature was never below' 2°. But still under these handicaps we continued to break records. When the results of the ticket sale for the Sophomore play was announced. Junior III had led the entire school. We showed our appreciation for the work of the Christian Brothers by turning in numerous subscriptions for the De La Salle Auxiliary drive. In athletics. Junior III has contributed more than its share to the teams. Jim Gray. Mike Langner. Tom Ruane. Francis Fitzgerald, and Harry Gagnon w'ere members of the football team. Fitzgerald also represented Junior III in hockey. Langner and Ruane were dependable guards on the basketball team. A championship basketball team needs a good manager and. of course. Brother Eugene selected one from Junior III. William Crombie. Much of our success was due to the efforts of Brother Cassian. our advisor. wfho has done much to make our Junior year a profitable one. With the advantages of a wonderful teaching staff, along with our past accomplishments and our present intentions, we hope to become a source of greater good, and the cause of added respect to De La Salle High School.

CLASS HISTORY OF SOPHOMORE I Sophomore I began its career in the early part of September. 1929. The class consists of approximately thirty pupils none of whom are null and void when it comes to reciting. It boasts of both scholastic and athletic records. With able scholars and intelligent teachers it has prospered mentally far above the other classes. Its contributions to the athletics of the school have by far surpassed all others. Byrnes with all his energy is school cheer leader, incidentally leading all the noises in the class. His other accomplishment is the establishment of a world’s record for F's” leaving all other contestants (of whom Sophomore I has contributed a few) ‘ in the dust. Weldon Mulligan, the heroic ladies' man who took part in the class play, has found it a vital and necessary attainment to be ambidextrous in order to keep up with the number of penances daily assigned him. J. Gemlo. the stalwart guard of the Island team, has decided that he would rather eat his lunch during Professor Beardsley's English session than stand in line for said lunch. Another case of the idea tending to the action. Our class has been well represented at the athletic events and has also been well represented in all school activities. They are known to he loyal supporters of the Alma Mater. Page Forty-seven Tap—James Fallon, Patrick Montague. Ku� rll Lambert, Francis. Hurley, Clifford Ostrom. Charles Enncn.

CLASS HISTORY OF SOPHOMORE II September saw the entrance into Sophomore II of the finest bunch of Sophomores that the school has ever known. They were a fine looking lot hailing from every part of the city or its suburbs. At first it seemed strange to be with boys who had not been together in former rooms, but after the talkative “Peanuts'’ Gross. “Irish Roos. and “Rusty Kwiccinski got warmeo up we felt more at home and began to study. We were frequently cheered up by the three musketeers mentioned above or by a visit from the director who had our report cards. We came along fine and went over big with the tests given by Brother Richard. If the present spirit keeps up the bunch will make a fine class of Juniors next year. Some of the students went out for sports. Van De Mark, and Daugherty made the lightweight basketball team while Leonard played with the heavyweights. Arkell starred on the hockey team. Montague, a late-comer. was a “slick” little forward on the championship basketball team. With this array of stars Sophomore II has been well represented in sports at De La Salle. The scholastic record of the room cannot be beaten, and there are always at least five students on the Honor Roll in the ISLANDER. In a geometry test given by the Director. A1 Gross scored highest in the department as did Leonard in a Latin vocabulary test. We do not think anyone who knows the class would hesitate to name Sophomore II one of the best in school.

This class is always ready to contribute its members to school activities. It gave Ernest Johnson. Francis Hoben, 1'om Byrne. John Keefe. Karl Emmer. and Len Craig to the lightweight football squad, and John Foley to the heavy team. Basketball took from the room Ernest Johnson. Raphael Davis, and William Paquette. All did the best they could and that is all that could be expected from them. The ISLANDER is getting along famously with the help of Raphael Davis. Leo Ambrose. Francis Hoben and Joseph Caffery. So you see that Sophomore III is represented in most of the activities which come up throughout the school year. In the indoor league in the fall this class led all others. Then it went up against the Seniors, but the game was never finished and both the teams split honors for the title. John Foley was elected president of Sophomore III. then in the final vote of the Sophomore department he came fourth, and became treasurer of the Sophomore Science Club.

CLASS HISTORY OF SOPHOMORE IV On September 6th, twenty forlorn youths entered upon the threshold of De La Salle, and behold! much to their chagrin, there had been enough seats reserved for them in room 9—universally known as Sophomore IV. Oh! how agonizing it was to hang up the old “hook-line-and-sinker.” As the season rolled on its way to eternity Sophomore IV was making its presence felt. Whenever seats were needed in the gymnasium (or were to be removed) and whenever the basketball hangers had to be maneuvered, the Herculean lads of Sophomore IV obligingly accomplished the task. The class furnished one-fifth of the glorious basketball team in the person of ‘ Babe Gearty, who played sterling ball throughout the season. The diminutive Bill Ryan played well for the Lightweights. Walter Hanrehan had the pleasure of demonstrating his Ching Johnson prowess on the hockey rink. When it came to buying soup for the needy. Sophomore IV willingly dropped its share of shining shekels into the Mission hat. and often captured one of the coveted Crusade pennants. As the season comes to a successful close, as all seasons should the members of Sophomore IV heave an immense sigh of regret because of the season’s termination. Page Fifty FRESHMAN I Top Row.

CLASS HISTORY OF FRESHMAN I In looking back over their history for the past year Freshman I may well be proud of their record of achievements. During the year numerous examinations were submitted to the boys and Freshman I performed in a most creditable manner. When Mr. McMahon asked for candidates for lightweight football, several members of Freshman I responded. The boys played well all season and Jerry Voyer. Fred Anderson. Larry DeVeau. and Ed. Sheehan were deserving of the letters which were awarded to them. In interclass athletics. Freshman I carried off the championship for indoor in the Freshman division. Brother Walter, the English teacher, organized a L.iterary Club which lasted until the rearrangement of class at the end of the first semester. Gerald Voyer was the President of the organization: Ed Sheehan. Vice-president: Joe Pendzimas. Secretary: and Thomas Vierling, Treasurer. Along musical lines, as in all other branches of activities. Freshman I was well represented. Thomas Vierling and Casmir Kubacki are both prominent members ot the orchestra and contributed much to its success. When Mr. Seibel took over the direction of the Freshman Play. “College Cut-ups. he found three members of Freshman I among those who were to make this production a great success. The class representatives in the cast were Arthur Gates, Frank Szivec, and Jerry Voyer.

Among these was Freshman II. a class made up of about thirty enthusiastic boys ready and eager to take up their high school career. After class schedules were settled Coach McMahon sent out a call for candidates for the lightweight football squad. In answer to this call three doughty warriors sallied forth and we found Francis Novack. James Sullivan and James Williams on the squad. In lightweight basketball. Novack and Sullivan again answered the call and performed well upon the court. In class work as well as in athletics the boys did well and on a general average Richard Ennen led the class. During the first semester one of the members of Freshman II felt that he was called to do the work of God and left for Glencoe. Then came the Freshman play and the Thespian talent of the class came to the surface. Leonard Morneau. James Sullivan. James Fisher. Joseph Hegdahl. Clarence Tegeder. Bernard Pepper, and Jerome Perry were members of the cast of College Cut-ups. Socially the class was not inactive. Many parties were held for the boys during the year, the most successful of which was the Hallowe'en Party sponsored by Brother Richard. All the Freshman classes competed in games and contests of dexterity and skill, Freshman II being the winner of the greatest number of games. Page Fifty-two Top Row—Mark l'lachy, Robert William .

CLASS HISTORY OF FRESHMAN III September 5th is a memorable day to the boys of Freshman III. for on that day they became students of Dc I.a Salle. After the usual intelligence tests, the pupils realized that there were still things to learn and they resolved to study hard. Brother Daniel acted as adviser and under his direction the class progressed rapidly. Freshman III boasts six scholarship winners: Dolan. Dubois. Huntley. Mauren. Sabas, and Warner. In the first activity of the year, the Mission Crusade, Freshman III responded willingly and held the school mission banner for seven consecutive weeks. When candidates were called for the lightweight football team. Shanker. Williams. Hurley. Kelly and Lawrence represented Freshman III. The Asarias Literary Club was organized by Brother Lawrence Walter for the purpose of increasing the students' knowledge of literature. Joseph Brosnahan was elected president and under his direction many interesting meetings were held. When Brother Richard announced the results of the Freshman Algebra and Latin tests. Freshman III took first place in both. Then came the Catechism contest. Jack McCaffery upheld Freshman III by earning a tie for first place. To show that the class did not include only scholars and athletes, seven boys of the class took part in the Freshman Play. College Cut-ups. After completing one happy year at De La Salle, the class of Freshman III will go into its Sophomore year with the satisfaction of having done more than its duty as a Freshman class. ! ay l-'ifty thrcc freshman IV Top Row—Thomas Langford, John Gabriel, Richard Du Beau, John Lawrence, James Fischer.

CLASS HISTORY OF FRESHMAN IV At the beginning of the second semester two classes of mid-year Freshmen were organized. In Freshman IV were found twenty-five ambitious boys about to start their high school careers. For the first week these embryo high school students were allowed to become accustomed gradually to the rather novel procedure of high school life. They were allowed to go home at eleven o’clock and did many other things quite unheard of in the upper classes. After the first week, however, the boys settled down to solid study which was necessary if they wished to come up to expectations by completing a year's work in one semester. Before long it was plain to be seen that they had no intention of disappointing anyone and that they were determined to be Sophomores the following September. Their time was not entirely taken up with studies, however. They entered a team in the noon basketball league and made a good record for themselves until the members of the lightweight basketball team were allowed to play with their room teams. Captain Crowley and his mates. Don Dolan. Luke Webb. Milton Therolt, John Lawrence, and Jim Murphy, were not able to compete so successfully against the re-inforced teams of their opponents but they did put up a strong battle. Brother Walter organized a Literary Club which has done much to help the boys in mastering the intricacies of the English Language.

CLASS HISTORY OF FRESHMAN V During the latter part of January, two new classes entered De La Salle. One of the two was Freshman V. a class made up of thirty enterprising young men from nearly every parish in the city. When these boys gazed upon their schedule up to June they were at first a little dismayed at the task which confronted them. They were to go through the entire Freshman year in one semester. But after the first moment of hesitation they put their shoulders to the wheel and there was no doubt as to whether or not they would succeed. Boys who worked the way they did could never fail. However, ail their time was not devoted to study. In addition to their scholastic activities these new Freshmen entered all extra-curicular projects. The weekly mission collection was an innovation but the boys responded with the greatest of zeal and were soon leading the Freshman division. Then, too. there was the noon basketball league and Freshman V was there, as in all other things, to rise to great heights. The class was ably represented by Captain “Slim’’ Ryan and his four team-mates: Bill Cullane, Bill Kennedy, Bill Herrley. and Bob Hienen. The history of this class, though brief, was a great achievement. These boys have shown through their one semester of High School that they are the material from which Seniors worthy of name will in the coming three years be formed under the guidance of Christian Education.

In September John Clarey was chosen Editor-in-Chief and he held this position until the second semester when he resigned to take up work on the A THAN ASIAN. He was succeeded in the editorship by Effe Abdo, a Junior. The paper at various times during the year put out special issues, in addition to its regular production. A special supplement to instruct people as to the life of a Christian Brother was present in one issue and at Christmas a Yuletidc number was printed in green ink. As the last special there appeared on May I 5th a Senior issue. This was quite an innovation and was a great help in advertising the ATHANASIAN. De La Salle has also established connections with various interscholastic organizations and is at present a charter member of the National Scholastic press Association, a member of the Minneapolis Press Club, and is entered in the interscholastic competition at the University of Minnesota. A great number of exchanges are received and all information that could possibly interest the students of De La Salle is culled from them and published. Also reports reach the paper as to the opinion of other schools on the ISLANDER and these are all very favorable: the boys at Glencoe say it is the best paper that they get, and they receive papers from all over the district.

THE ORCHESTRA The Dc La Salle Orchestra under the able direction of Brother Anthony added another successful year to its remarkable history. Although seven veterans remained from last year's personnel, the vacancies left by the members graduating were rapidly filled until a well balanced organization was again under way. Rehearsals were held regularly and the orchestra made its first appearance in the early part of October for the Parent-Teachers’ meeting. At all important events, whether card parties or dinners sponsored by the Patroness Society, the orchestra was engaged to furnish the music. For all the plays sponsored by the school or the various departments the musical program was furnished by our own fellow students. Due to the enthusiasm of its members the orchestra was able to render several musical concerts over the radio (station WCCO) ; after each concert broadcast many congratulations were received. Although the boys in the orchestra have shown by their regular attendance at the rehearsals and engagements that they appreciate the opportunity extended them of receiving ensemble practice, they will be rewarded with a special type of school letter. In addition those who have been members of the orchestra two years will be presented with a special D. L. S. musical pin. We wish Brother Anthony continued success and hope that more boys in the school who are musically inclined will in the future avail themselves of this opportunity to advance in music by joining the orchestra.

George Cohan's A Prince There Was was presented in the Dc La Salle Auditorium. The Senior play, an annual event, has always been staged for the benefit of the Brothers' noviciate in Glencoe, Missouri. The leading male role was played by John Clarey. as Charles Martin, a nerve-shattered millionaire, broken-hearted over the death of his wife and daughter, and who has taken to drink to drown his sorrows. The other stellar role was taken by George McDonald, who played the part of a popular story writer of New York who was living in a boarding-house in order to get a story. Lloyd Smith as Bland. Martin's loyal valet, was a character of great interest. The comedy was added by Charles Cutter as Gladys Prouty and Thomas Ondrey as Mr. Short, a ham actor. Martin's friend, Jack Car-ruthers, was well portrayed by Ray Lilly, an actor of no little ability. As landlady of the remarkable boarding-house where so much transpired, we find the corpulent Mrs. Prouty played by Hugh Gochia. Ray Byrnes did well as Comfort Browne. Aloysius Juettner. Pat Lyons. Frank Sampson, and John Sammon all played their parts well. This dramatic presentation by the Senior Class brought to a dose the most fruitful dramatic season that Dc La Salle has ever had and Mr. John Scibel. the director, is to be complimented on the wonderful performance which he produced in about three weeks' lime.

It was called ‘ The Arrival of Kitty ' and was a comedy in three acts. The play made a decided hit with the audience and successfully upheld the very high standard of the plays given at De La Salle. The cast was very well trained and they “put across’ their play in a very clear-cut and enthusiastic manner. Not only was it an exceedingly good play but it showed the good will and fine spirit of Mr. Seibel and the actors, who worked arduously in order that it might be a success. The leading male role was taken by George Owens who performed remarkably well as Bobbie Baxter, the boy friend of Jane, the leading lady. This part was well portrayed by Irwin Hougard. Leo Ambrose scored a great hit with the audience, as William Winkler, the uncle of Jane. J he part of Aunt Jane, his sister, who was looking for a husband, was taken by Herman I.oring. who exhibited much talent. Donald Bissonette did some fine acting as Benjamin More, who answered the ad for a husband. The role of “Ting.” a bell boy. was performed very enthusiastically by Fred Schaaf. Len Craig proved to be very attractive as “Kitty.” an actress, and played his part to perfection. Humor was added to the play through the efforts of Weldon Mulligan. Jr., playing the part of Sam. a colored porter. Another he-actress was Joseph Graca who deserves much praise for his fine acting as Suzette. Aunt Jane’s Maid.

December 8. the Freshmen scored a great success in dramatic art by presenting a three act play entitled College Cut-ups. directed by John Seibel. The first scene is in the living room of Mrs. Hungaford's rooming house, while the other two arc in the reception room of the college. The story concerns two classmates. “Zoo Short and Bashful Dixon. Zoo gets into trouble by writing letters to a movie queen- Dixon succeeds in doing the same by poor school work. To further complicate matters the roommates are mistaken for one another and many tricks are played on them by their rivals, resulting in the dismissal of Zoo and Bashful from college. Through the aid of two friendly gentlemen, namely. Hiram Parker and Frank Short. Sr., the trouble is cleared up and the boys are re admitted to school. There are many complicating instances during the play which add much comedy to it. The list of characters was notably portrayed. Zoo” Short is. in public life. Jerry Voyer. His class-mate. Bashful Dixon, is Frank Warner, while the movie queen. Vera Cruz, is Jerome Perry. The two friendly gentlemen. Hiram Parker and Frank Short. Sr., are. in reality. Harry Igel and Joseph Heg-dahl. T oby Parker and his sister. Betty, are Russell Miller and Frank Flectham. The numerous other parts were well taken care of by the rest of the cast.

DE LA SALLE AUXILIARY On December 3. 1928. the De La Salle Auxiliary Drive, an annual event, began. By ibis organization the Christian Brothers are enabled to acquire the funds necessary for the education of youthful aspirants to the Brotherhood. On enlistment into this organization the donor is immediately a recipient of many spiritual benefits which are attached to a membership in the organization. The members share in innumerable good works which the Brothers perform. Masses are said in Glencoe for them: many indulgences are granted. Those who subscribe to this fund are promoting Christian education. It is through this means that religious education is spread throughout the entire world. The students of De La Salle responded nobly to the task of securing members for this organization. All classes are to be commended for their efforts in promoting this society throughout the country. Special merit should be given to Charles Cutter, who led the entire school in securing memberships for the organization. In parting we may state that in the future the De La Salle Auxiliary will become a most vital organization at De La Salle. We hope that the classes following donate their heartiest support to this noble cause. We take this opportunity to thank those who are members of this organization. No doubt. God will bless them for their generosity and supply them with an abundance of His graces. I’aije Sucty-thrct ALUMNI OFFICERS R. pYNM. '27 ). CuCAtON. ’06 c;. Hkmcii. 21 J. Fl'pau, 26 Secretary President Vice-President Treasurer THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION I he De La Salle Alumni Association originated with the first graduating class of Dc La Salle in 1903. Officers were elected and a constitution and bylaws drawn up. The organization grew steadily until it is now comprised of more than a thousand members. The object of the Alumni Association is to foster and maintain among the alumni, faculty, and students of De La Salle, a spirit of friendly association and co-operation and to be influential in promoting the best interests of Catholic education. Semi-annual meetings are held in January and June, with special meetings being called at the request of the president. Officers are elected by all the members at the assemblage in March. All students graduating from the school are automatically received into the ranks of the Alumni Association. However, the alumni sees fit to publicly receive the graduates of the current year at a banquet. In this manner a feeling of comradeship is infused into the aspirants to the Association. Recently the Junior Alumni sponsored a dance at the Francis Drake Hotel the proceeds of which are to buy a trophy case to be put in the main hall. A feature of the trophy case is a tablet headed I he Hall of Fame. Each year the Senior Class will select the three most representative Dc La Salle seniors whose names will be engraved on the tablet. At the recent meeting held in March the following officers were elected: J. Gleason. ’06. president: George Hersch. 21, vice president: Richard Dynes. '27. secretary: and John Fudali, '26, treasurer.

THE MOTHERS' CLUB The Mothers' Club, known also as the Patroness Society, was organized in 1925. Its object is to aid and assist the faculty and the students in the social functions and banquets. When the club was first organized it had twenty-five members. It now boasts of one hundred and seventy members, nearly all of whom arc mothers or friends of boys who attend De La Salle at the present or who attended it during the past. To belong to the Patroness a small fee is charged for dues. During the past year the Patroness Society has given a number of banquets. bridge parties and luncheons. Chief among these was the card party on April 9. the proceeds of which went to the Seniors for whatever purpose the graduates desired. The annual football banquet was tendered the gridiron stars by the Mothers’ Club, and just ask the boys if the Mothers didn't do a good job of it. The Patroness also took care of the basketball players’ dinner as well as the various banquets tendered the Auxiliary and those who took part in the different plays throughout the year. The present officers of the Patroness Society are as follows: Mrs. J. J. Kasel. president; Mrs. F. W. Liemandt. first vice president: Mrs. F. G. Rodeen. second vice president: Mrs. M.

I’ayc Sixty-five FUTURE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS LEONARD MORNEAU WALTER NlZlOL LEO BELTRAND FOLLOWERS OF SAINT DE LA SALLE When Louis XIV of France was striving with every ounce of energy to extend the limits of his kingdom, the plaudits of admiring throngs rang in his cars and gratified his childish vanity. But his efforts came to naught, for his aggrandizement was but temporary and represented no permanent benefit: France's augmented kingdom soon dwindled. But at that same time, a man who was the very antithesis of Lc grand Monarque worked without the plaudits of the throng. And he. too. strove for the increase of a kingdom—the kingdom of God. Quietly, unostentatiously he labored, actuated, not by vanity or desire for self-glory, but by zeal for God's cause and a tender sympathy for the neglected boys of France. And this humble but heroic character was the man whom the Church later canonized as Saint John Baptist de la Salle, the Founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. The great King Louis XIV. who courted flattery and aspired even to world dominions, has long since passed away: today he is referred to as the man who typified absolute and tyrannical monarchy, who selfishly sought his own glory and aggrandizement. John Baptist de la Salle, his contemporary, who might have had honors and glory but who chose to be poor and to labor for Christ, has also long since ended his mortal career. They were different when here upon earth: and what a difference there is now! De la Salle is today high in the nobility of heaven, a canonized saint in the Church of Christ, worshipped daily by unumbered multitudes whose reverence and admiration have l’age Sixty-six Lawrence Swadner Robert Merriman William Sweja grown with the passing of years. And the great work that he inaugurated still goes on. The thousands of Christian Brothers who have been inspired by his example strive daily throughout the world to teach the youth of their generation the lessons of heavenly wisdom which St. De la Salle presented to those of another age—and the kingdom of heaven, for the increase of which he strove, is being peopled with the souls of the Just. The example of St. De la Salle has never failed to inspire others to follow in his footsteps. Every year there are boys—noble, heroic characters willing to devote their lives and consecrate their talents to the work of Christian Education in the Catholic classroom—who leave from our own school here in Minneapolis for the Brothers' Novitiate at Glencoe. Missouri. On these two pages are the pictures of six of the boys who have left our midst during the past few years and who are now completing their high school course in the Glencoe Preparatory Novitiate. These, however, are not the only Minneapolis representatives preparing to be Christian Brothers. In the Senior Novitiate, in the Glencoe Scholastic, and in the Brothers' Chicago Normal School are other young men who formerly made the daily trip to Nicollet Island. Not until they have completed the eight-year course of studies will they be permitted to take their places in the ranks of the Christian Brothers engaged in the actual work of the classroom. Gladly do we pay tribute to the heroism of these classmates of ours who have made this noble sacrifice: in our journey through life, their example will ever be an inspiration to us.

SENIOR FOOTBALL REVIEW A successful football season is not determined solely by the number of games won and lost on the field of play, but rather on the spirit shown by the team and the benefit derived from it by the players as individuals, and by the school as a whole. With this thought in mind, one must admit that the team which represented De La Salle in 1928 was a success, and a team of which any member of the school, or anyone connected with the school, might justly be proud. When Coach George Roberts issued his call for candidates on September 6. a squad of sixty answered and prospects looked bright. Suits were given out and practice began in earnest the next night. In about two weeks the team began functioning in real style, but at the same time Old Man Injury began taking his toll. Captain Jimmy Gray wrenched his knee and was forced out for the rest of the season. This loss was a heavy blow but the spirit of the team only heightened as a result of it. If ever a team graced a football field with fight it was this De La Salle eleven. From whistle to whistle, fighting, sometimes against overwheming odds, they ploughed on. never admitting defeat until the timer’s whistle would put an end to hostilities. Despite their injuries or bad breaks never once was the team known to complain or alibi. If defeat met them, they would accept it as inevitable and never take any credit from their victors. True sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct was at all times displayed, and no one was quicker to congratulate the winners than the coach and the players. To pick out the individual stars from the squad would be difficult, but certain fellows stood out among them, as such backficld luminaries as John Sammon. Frank Sampson. Frank Knight. Ralph Guidcr. Greg. Cronin and Bill Bailey. Sammon proved to be one of the greatest backfield men ever to wear a De La Salle uniform. Although smaller than the average backfield player he has plenty of courage. He could hit the line hard and had few equals at skirting the ends. His loss will be greatly felt next season. Frank Sampson just concluded his third year as a first string quarterback. He was a crafty field-general in addition to his skill as a line plunger and kicker. He was a valuable man and his position will be hard to fill. Knight. Cronin. Guider. and Bailey, halfbacks, and Langncr. fullback, all proved their worth during the season and are to be congratulated. Linemen whose worth stood out were Klingberg. Ruane. Gochia. Gagnon. Flemming. Cavanaugh. Fitzgerald. Gemlo. Mikolajczyk and Miller. Ruane was an end with plenty of natural ability both on defense and offense. He was a wonder at snaring passes and a good open-field runner. Frank Klingberg was one of tlx most valuable men on the team. He played on the line as a tackle, and also filled in at fullback when necessary. He was a hard-fighting, consistent player and deserves much credit. All the other linemen showed up well also and deserve due credit. A strong team is expected next year with such men back as Gray. Langner. Ruane. Klingberg. Gagnon. Fitzgerald. Gemlo and Miller. To Coach Roberts must go the credit for giving De La Salle the teams of which all are proud. Here was a man whom the players loved and wanted to please with victories. The faculty and students are proud of the team and only hope that future De La Salle teams will be possessed with the same loyal spirit as was the 1928 eleven.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL With the view of developing material for future De La Salle teams, the school this year ushered in Junior athletics. Football and basketball teams consisting of Freshmen and Sophomores were formed and put under the guiding hand of Marvin McMahon, himself a former college athlete of renown. Early in September over fifty Freshman and Sophomores and a few Juniors responded to Coach McMahon's call for candidates for the first lightweight football team in the history of De La Salle. Most of the candidates were entirely ignorant of the fine points of the game. It seemed to be a well-nigh impossible task for Coach McMahon to mold together a team of any importance from that motley collection. But in spite of this seeming impossibility he assembled a team that was a source of unending surprise to the school. The first game of the season saw the De La Salle Lights pitted against the heavier St. Thomas second team. Although they were on the short end of a 6 to 0 score, the boys gained experience and much-needed confidence. Profiting by the St. Thomas game the Lights held the more experiened North squad to a 13 to 0 count. During the greater part of this game, they completely outplayed their opponents but failed to take advantage of the breaks. The West game clearly exhibited McMahon's strategy, for the team completely bewildered the West players with their fake plays and formations, winning by a 6 to 0 score. Blake, their next opponents, received an 1 8 to 6 shellacking at the hands of Mac’s” proteges who by now were playing tip-top ball. In the next game they met Cretin and lost a hard-fought contest 27 to 0. Although they played good ball they could not compete with their heavier and more experienced opponents. The final game of the season brought together De La Salle and West in a return game. This contest was furiously waged but West was not to be denied and they emerged victorious by a I 3 to 0 score. The quarterback position was taken care of by Arrell. whose passing, kicking and elusive open field running was a feature in every game. He was a good field general and used good judgment in the selection of plays. The halfbacks were Johnson and Abdo. Both were good ball carriers and repeatedly tore the opposing line to shreds with their off-tackle smashes. Arkell. the fullback, was a tower of strength on both offense and defense. He was a good line plunger and backed up the line in great fashion. Shanker. a reserve halfback, filled his position capably. Sullivan and Dougherty hold down the wing posts and did so in college style. Few gains were made around either end and both were proficient at snaring passes. Both will be valuable as varsity men next year. Van Demark and Novack played the guard positions and withstood the attacks and plunges of opposing backs with a display of grit. Both are good linemen and with a little more experience will be stars. The tackles. Jerry Voyer and Byrne Keefe showed remarkable ability in breaking through the line and smearing the plays of the opposition and no doubt will be on the varsity in another year or two. Sheehan, the center, performed in good style in all of the games. Two victories in five games played would please the most critical follower considering the inexperience of the team and the quality of the opposition. This was the first year in this branch for most of the boys. The fellows are to be cr he had plenty of courage. He could hit the line hard and had few equals at congratulated for their ambition and hard-work. Coach McMahon because of the school.

SENIOR BASKETBALL REVIEW “HAIL TO THE CHAMPIONS Dc La Salic High School was represented this year by the greatest team in its history and by one of the most powerful teams to ever represent a Northwest high school. It swept through to win the Northwest Parochial championship with apparent ease and finished the regular season of play with an undefeated record of seventeen consecutive victories. In a post-season contest, they lost to the highly-touted St. Mel quint of Chicago, whom sport writers of that city freely picked to win the National Catholic title, but who withdrew when two of their best players were declared ineligible. Sport writers of the Twin Cities were unanimous in declaring the De La Salle team one of the greatest high school teams ever developed in the Northwest. Anyone who witnessed the team in action would readily agree with them. Friends and alumni of the school, in appreciation of the marvelous record established by the team, appropriated a fund and sent the team to Chicago on a pleasure-trip, during which they witnessed the National Catholic Tournament. The secret of De La Salle's team was that necessary athletic virtue, teamwork. Personal-glory was cast to the winds and all were fighting to win. They were gifted with a star at every position. A team's strength is determined by the quality and ability of its reserves and therein De La Salle was well equipped. To Coach George Roberts must go much of the credit for developing the team of which all are so proud. With good material at hand, much was expected of him. and the team he put on the floor met the highest expectations ol everyone. He kept the boys at a fighting pitch and never allowed over-confi dence to ruin his team's chances for victory. The entire school unites in congratulating the coach and the team on their brilliant record and in wishing George Roberts success in future De La Salle athletics. The 1928-29 Record D. L.

Vane Seventy-seven Vane Seventy-eight ATH AN ASIAN soMImpi INDIVIDUAL REVIEW In Captain Johnny Sammon the team was gifted with one of the greatest basketball players in the history of the school. He was one of the cleverest ball-handlers and surest ' shots'' that ever graced a basketball court. Despite the fact that he was second highest scorer he was not an individual player, his accurate passing being responsible for many points collected by his teammates. In 1928 he was picked on the All-Star team in the Northwest Catholic Tournament and no doubt, would have repeated had the team entered this year. John will be graduated this year and his position will be hard to fill next year. Tom Farrell set what is believed to be a scoring record when he scored twenty-four points in the Austin game, although he played but three-quarters. Sport writers termed it the greatest individual exhibition of sharp-shooting ever seen in Minneapolis. This was but one of the many brilliant exhibitions he gave throughout the season. He was selected on the All-Star team picked by Stan Kuffel. St. Cloud coach, and was easily the outstanding center in the conference. Tom will be back next year and that means the center post will be capably handled. Whenever a tight situation arose and the team needed a few points. Frank Sampson would always come through. Time and again he would pull a game out of the fire either with a beautiful long shot or from his favorite position, under the basket. He was one of those fellows who would fight until the final whistle, and it was this one quality which saved and won many a game for De La Salle. We will miss Frank plenty next year. Babe Gearty looms as one of the best guards in De La Salle history. A clever dribbler, he could pass and shoot with remarkable ability. He accounted for plenty of points himself and his accurate and timely passing made it possible for his teammates to collect more. He was a beautiful team player and was one of the most valuable men on the team. Babe will be a welcome cog in next year's machine. I om Ruane handled the other guard post and did so in remarkable fashion. He is a dependable shot and a beautiful defensive player. When a dangerous opponent got hot” Tom would be assigned to watch him and would always check the scoring habit of his adversary. He was a hard-worker and a steady player. Tom will be back to help win another championship for De Lc Salic. Bob Jassoy played good basketball all season but particularly during the first part when he surprised everybody. He displayed a good eye for the basket and also played good on defense. Bob will be graduated this year and so will not be back with the team next year. Frank Klingberg. despite his gigantic appearance, was one of the best defensive players on the team. He was plenty fast and was always a threat on offense. He was a tireless worker and a hard fighter. He played hard to win all the time. He was a dependable player and a valuable man. He will be back next year and should be a real start as it will be his third year as a regular. His presence will be welcome. Mike Langner showed the greatest improvement of any player on the squad. This was his first year in this branch of sport and he earned a position on the squad because he was a conscientious player and a willing learner. Mike will be back at De La Salle next year and will be a valuable man. Prospects for another championship team next year are exceedingly bright. Coach Roberts will have Farrell. Gearty. Ruane. Klingberg. and Langner back in addition to Pat Montague who joined the team in mid-season, coming from St. Thomas where he established a marvelous record as a Freshman and Sophomore. He played beautiful ball for De La Salle since he joined and will be a real star before he graduates. Page Seventy-nine Page Light y JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM. 1928-29 Top Row—Webb, Lawrence, Murphy.

The team was handicapped during the early part of the season because of lack of coaching. With onlv two weeks of practice, the team journeyed to St. Paul to meet the strong Mechanics Arts sextet. The players fought with the typical De La Salle spirit, but they were outclassed by their heavier and more experienced rivals. After another week of practice, the boys again went to St. Paul, this time to meet St. Thomas. Although the team showed a vast improvement over the previous game, the smooth passing attack of the Tommies worked its way through the Dc La Salle defense and scored three times. Fitzgerald out-shone all players on the ice and checked many St. Thomas rushes before they reached the blue line. Job and Leiner were the main cogs of the offense. During the following week Gene Van Demark was appointed coach and within a short time moulded together six men who played as a unit. Brother Richard rewarded the players for their efforts by sending the team to Faribault, to meet the Shattuck Military Academy. In a ragged game, the Shads with little difficulty downed the Islanders by passing their way through the De La Salle defense with ease. In a return game with St. Thomas, the Islanders gave their best exhibition of the winter season. The Cadets scored in the first period but were unable to sweep the puck through the nets during the remainder of the game. De La Salle then abandoned its defense and sent five men up the ice. The St. Thomas goalie was smothered with shots but none entered his citadel. With but a few minutes to play Bazinctt received a pass from Fitzgerald and sent the puck whistling past the Cadets’ goalie. After two extra periods the score still remained I to I. Fitzgerald and Bazinctt were the best performers on offense, while Nett played a beautiful game as goalie. Cretin then came to Minneapolis and met the Islanders at Loring Park. In this game the De La Salle team again played a wonderful brand of hockey. Johnson, the Islander left wing, started the scoring in the first period by receiving a pass from center ice. He skated to the blue line, and shot the puck which found its resting place in the Cretin goal. Cretin scored once in the second period and with the score tied. 1 to I. both teams fought bitterly on. Defense was then abandoned by the Cretinites. who did not seem content with a tic. The down river team were well repaid for their efforts, and scored twice on De La Salle in rapid succession. The Islanders were sportsmen in defeat and deserve credit for their hard fought contest. Fitzgerald again stood out as a result of his brilliant performance. The final game of the season was a return game with Cretin, played at the Cretin rink. Here the Islanders played a mediocre game, due principally to the small playing space. The team was not able to pierce the Cretin defense until the final period, when several rushes beat the defense, only to be repulsed by the spectacular goal-guarding of Chrorht. the Cretin goalie. Cretin, accustomed to the small rink, used a short passing attack which completely bewildered the Islanders’ defense. Arkell. Fitzgerald, and Hannerhan played well for De La Salle. The season was climaxed by a banquet for the team at which the hockey letters were awarded to those players participating in four games. A successful season will be expected from the boys next year as all of the present team will return. Page Eighty three j� i � -.C;v i� 7 r,0d BASEBALL SQUAD. 1929 Top Row. left lo right—J. Andcr«on.

Marvin McMahon was named as head coach, succeeding George Roberts who was put in charge of spring football. Mr. McMahon was assistant coach in all other branches of sport, has had wide experience in the coaching line and is an athlete of fame. His first call was met by fifty aspiring candidates. Among them were seven letter-men. including a veteran battery with Langner and Hogan as pitchers. and Tuffy Sammon receiving. Promising infield candidates were Kling-berg, Ruane. Montague. Gearty. Shanker. and Van Demark. Outfield prospects were Cronin. Sampson. Ondrey. Jassoy. Anderson and Arrell. After two weeks the squad was cut to twenty men. The team was gifted with a wonderful array of sluggers in Langner. Klingberg. Cronin and Sammon. While these men were particularly effective, there was not a weak spot in the batting order. The first team was composed of the following: Catcher. John Sammon: Pitcher. Mike Langner: First-base. Babe Gearty: Second-base. Tom Ruane: Short-stop. Pat Montague: Third-base. Frank Klingberg: Left Field. Greg Cronin: Center Field. Frank Sampson, and Right Field. Lorn Ondrey. Catcher Sammon kept the team on their toes with a continual line of chatter. He handled the pitchers in great style 3nd kept the runners glued on the sacks. He was a consistent hitter. Mike Langner and John Hogan shared the pitching burden. Mike has a good hook and nice control. Hogan has a smoke-bair that comes in plenty fast. Both are dependable hurlers. In addition to his ability as a pitcher. Mike is hitting in great form. When the season first started Coach McMahon was faced with the problem of making room for two good players, both catchers. Rather than keep Babe Gearty out of the lineup when Sammon was catching, he tried him out at first base. Although Babe had never played that position before he fitted in nicely and during the first five games did not have an error chalked up against him. The rest of the infield is composed of Pat Montague. Tom Ruane. and Frank Klingberg. Pat is a beautiful fielder who can handle ground-balls with ease and has a good throwing arm. He is hitting better this year than he did last year with St. Thomas and is playing good ball. Ruane is a classy infieldcr who possesses all the requisites of a good player. He is fielding in great style. Frank Klingberg is holding down the '‘hot-corner. He has played good ball all season and is hitting better than ever before. He is clever at starling or completing double-plays. The team is equipped with one of the best outfields they have had in recent years. Greg Cronin is a classy outfielder with a good throwing arm. He handles fly-balls well. He is one of the heaviest hitters on the club. Frank Sampson patrols the center-garden. He handles both ground and fly-balls well. He is fast on the bases and makes the most of his hits with his speed. Tom Ondrey is a newcomer on the team and proved a very welcome addition. He plays right-field and plays it plenty sweetly. He is a good fly hawk and very fast in the field and on the bases. He hits the ball hard and consistently. The team is a well-balanced outfit with plenty of hitting and fielding strength. To date they have won ten games and lost but one. They defeated North. West. Washburn, and Blake, and lost a heart-breaker to Central in the opening game of the season. This is the best record any baseball team has established in recent years and the fellows arc to be congratulated. Pqo Li'jhty-fivc xit-xmoty jfioj TENNIS SQUAD. 1929 Top Row, left to right—-Ed.

Eugene Smiley, Robert Sehuld. captain, and Uoyd Smith. TENNIS With sixteen aspiring young racqucteers answering the call of Manager Hickey early in April, the 1929 tennis season was under way. A tournament was drawn up and played off to determine the members of the team which would include the four semi-finalists and a fifth man whom the coach and manager would pick. The bulk of last year's brilliant team was graduated, leaving only one veteran. Bob Schuld. The tournament, however, uncovered much talent heretofore unknown at De La Salle. Among these were: Chuck Delany, an aggressive hard-driving youth: Stan Golden, an expert chop stroke player, and Fred Livermore, an accurate placement artist. In the first round Hoch won from Gould, and Lilly conquered Whelan. Schuld defeated Olin with apparent ease while Kelly lost to Licmandt by default. Chuck Delany overwhelmed Huntly by a score of 6-0. 6-0. as Iheisen turned the tables on Smiley in a big upset 6-3. 6-3. Don Dolan, a promising Freshman, lost to Smith in a close struggle, and Stan Golden, the dark-horse of the tournament, defeated a strong favorite. Fred Livermore, after a bitter match. The score was 7-5 10-8. In the second round Schuld and Delany defeated Licmandt and I heisen respectively by the identical scores of 6-1. 6-0. thereby advancing to the semi-finals. Hoch and Golden entered the semi-finals by virtue of their victories over Smith and Lilly. Bob Schuld and Hoch met in the upper bracket of the semi-finals. These old rivals matched wits and power in a match featured by long volleys and high lobs. All the games went to deuce and advantage several times, with Schuld finally winning the first set 6-4. Then Bob hit his stride and quickly ran out the second set 6-2. Delany and Golden, playing in the other semi-final match, presented a fine exhibition of chopping and placing. Chuck, however, assumed an early lead which was not seriously threatened until the final games of the second set when Golden drove the ball to both corners of the court crossing Delany several times at the net. Delany emerged victorious with a final count of 6-2. 6-3. Schuld and Delany played for the school championship, the captaincy, and the ranking No. 1 player of the team. They played the usual three out of five set match as is customary in championship matches. Schuld won in straight sets 7-5, 6-3. 6-1. Chuck s only threat was made in the first set when he led Bob 5-4. The match was featured by Bob s accurate drives and spectacular kills at the net. Delany. after starting out with a hard driving game, resorted to chopping and placing in the last two sets, but became unsteady and erratic, losing many apparent surc-shots. Coach Downey and Manager Hickey conducted a series of matches among the members of the team to determine their positions. After Fred Livermore defeated Lilly in a consolation match for fifth place he was found to possess greater ability than two other members and was shifted to third place. These matches being completed, the team was composed of the following: Bob Schuld. Captain and No. 1: Chuck Delany. No. 2: Fred Livermore. No. 3: Stan Golden. No. 4. and Ray Lilly. No. 5. After the team had practiced two weeks Coach Jack Downey predicted another winning team at De La Salle. Manager Hickey has scheduled matches with the following teams: North. West. St. Paul Academy. Blake, and Shattuck. ’«« ■ P.ii hty-srven B VI? c e 5 S-------« Jk f i 0uR s� ITSS Necking Squad. 3. 4. 5. 6 Marble Team. 1. I. I Senior Wrecking Team. 7. 8. 9 Treasurer of Crap Shooting Club.

Seniors But— cSS3SSe; Kapoleon urHoiscom.toH : Paye Ninely-lhrtt A PAGE FROM A SENIOR'S DIARY March 25.—Ho. Hum! Got up at eight bells. Whooic—had to hurry through breakfast and was lucky to get to school at 8:35. Gee! Brother Richard didn't need to get so mad about it. That was only the sixth time I've been late this month. Oh. well. I can write that penance during shorthand period. The Brother is usually plenty busy anyway. Well, I sure foxed Mac” this morning. He thought I handed in my homework. He's a good guy. all right, but he sure feeds the fellows a snappy line of chatter. And the funny part of it is that he thinks the guys believe it. There sure was a swell game of basketball in the gym at noon. I guess the old school will have good teams for some years to come, judging trom the scrub games at noon. Golly! I was so interested in the basketball game that I forgot to do my English homework. Well, that won't be the first time I didn’t hand any work in and I'm sure I can get by this time. I had a good long snooze in the English class this afternoon. I don t see how any one lesson can be so dead, and the teacher. Wow! I can’t understand why the teachers give us so much homework to do this time of year. They know we can't do it all in the morning, before school. I guess they think we are going to do it at home. Well, there's no harm in thinking. Hurray! Two o'clock at last. It's no use taking any books home tonight; I wouldn't do any work anyway. They can't expect a guy to study in this nice, spring weather. Spring is here. lra la. tra-la. and only a couple more months of school. The Jokers' were out in great numbers on Hennepin and Nicollet today. They’re just like bears. They hibernate in the hotels in the winter and when spring comes, they come out in swarms. Well, after walking through tlx Hobo’s Park I went down to Washington and took a street car—that is. I would have taken a street car if the Con' hadn't got wise. But anyway, I rode three blocks. I didn't do much the rest of the afternoon except play a few games of pool with a couple of school mates. Went stepping after supper, but that part of the evening from eight o’clock to—well—when I retired, will not be explained at this time. It was just a little outing with a young ladv friend—of no interest to anyone but myself. I’m gonna hit the hay right now. Station BUZZ signing off. Good Night.
