But the memories which it will bring back to us shall be treasured. These portals are a reminder of a most important phase of our life. The surroundings and the inner recesses have all taken part in forming the picture. Each carving, niche, and panel shall be a jewel which we shall scrupulously guard and revere when our daily perception is no longer actuality. It is our desire also, that this elaboration of the best known object in De La Salle school life, will be a great impetus to our school mates from whose company we are departing. DEDICATION We, the graduating class of De La Salle High School, in the year 1930, profoundly dedicate this, our year book, the Athanasian, to the mothers of De La Salle students. The dearest friend that a boy can have is his mother. It is often the great love and perseverance of a mother that enables her son to succeed. She is that very life and the very rock which enlightens and upholds him in his falterings and failures, then raises him to heights after he has traversed the doubtful and perilous passages of life. Many De La Salle mothers have joined the Patroness Society, an organization of mothers whose purpose is to assist the Brothers in their work for the welfare of the boys. Others have not been able to do so, but have supported every school activity, and in numerous instances have shown their interest in their boys and the entire school. It is in view of the great part that they have played in the lives of Catholic young scholars of De La Salle, and of the deep feeling of interest that they have manifested in school affairs, that we now inscribe the name of the De La Salle motherhood on the dearest object that we can leave as a remembrance of us, our annual, The Athanasian. Mother FORWARD A Moment White, Then Gone Forever. Robert Burns As a snowflake stays for a moment on the water and disappears, so we are disappearing on the water of school life. And as others that have come and in like manner have gone before us, we also go. This is but a period in our own lives. We pass on to futurity which is a question for each and every one of us. No one knows what the Creator has in store for him, but, no matter what it may be, it is the duty of each individual to prepare himself that he may be better fitted for what the Almighty has destined him. Our school life has been the most essential part of that training. Through it all, we have been guided by the motherly hand of Christian education. To us now remains the task of using its influence for the betterment of our lives as Catholics and as citizens. CONTENTS I. ADMINISTRATION II. GRADUATES III. CLASSES IV. ACTIVITIES V. ATHLETICS VI.

ABDO ATWANA ' -E.44-ELIN TA-FF CAVANAUG+4 ANTON CUTTFI -KpilT l Ten THE STAFF Work on the Athanasian began one quarter earlier this year than it has in the past. The Senior Class members were anxious to start work, consequently, staff officers were immediately elected. With the selection of Effe Abdo as Editor-in-chief, work definitely started on the annual. At various meetings of the staff, plans for the formation of the book were made, and the theme definitely decided upon. The various editors were then appointed and set to work. Robert Helin was appointed Business Manager; Robert Hoch, Associate Editor; Fred Olin, Sport Editor; Sliman Kouri. Associate Editor; Myron Johnson, Feature Editor; John Graca. Art Editor; and Charles Cutter, Norman Cavanaugh and Joseph Anton in charge of activities. It has been the ambition of the staff to produce an annual that will stand for all time as an ideal for the classes to come, and all their energies have been directed toward this ideal. Whether or not they will attain their ambition to get the highest class rating of any annual yet published, remains to be seen, but the fact stands that the book itself contains several new and original ideas. As this annual is the last thing that we will do to leave an impression behind us, we are trying to make it a worthy one—one that will serve the twofold purpose of endearing us to our Alma Mater and serving as a fond remembrance.

What we sighted was De La Salle, where we were to forge ahead, as the early immigrants to the newly discovered land. The rolling waters are analogous to the space of time which it required us to reach the second step, following our elementary studies. Earnestness and determination were the criterions of the progress that we were to make in the unknown future. Twelve Administration Brother Richard During the three years that Brother Richard has been in charge of De La Salle, the school has been steadily on the ascent in scholastic standing. The principle upon which he had managed the students has been highly appreciated by friends of the school, and has carried De La Salle into the uppermost rank in educational circles. As graduating seniors, we take this opportunity to voice our appreciation of the work which Brother Richard has done for us throughout his regime. All his endeavors and decisions have been characterized by a keen foresight, a gift unparalleled in the proper moulding of modern school life. At this, our departure, we extend our sincere gratitude to him, and trust he will continue to uphold the standards he has formulated and successfully executed.

Eighteen Nineteen 1 Once upon the unexplored and unmeasured territory, the forerunners of our country braved mysteries by gradually forging deep into the far beyond. Our newly founded nation was not miraculously a reality, but by feeling and traversing every little stream and outlet, the foundations of our now mighty republic were established. In like manner, we acclimated ourselves to our new environment, little by little adding to our knowledge, mentally and morally, laying a foundation for life. Twenty Graduates AFTERTHOUGHT O time why dost thou hasten so? My mind do not grow old. O years halt in thy onward step, And keep me in thy fold. How loth I am to leave school life; To leave these days of joy, Where carefree youth and untroubled mind Make up the bright schoolboy. De La Salle from thee now I go: Your portals 1 must leave; But in my memory long will linger Your scenes of dawn and eve. To me you’ve been a mother dear; My wrongs you’ve sought to right, Like an ever guardian angel Watching day and night. Upon me you have placed a crown, One that I revere. Though it be not of natural gold, To me it shall be dear. In it you have impressed my faith, My religion and my code. Through teachers that are friends indeed And pals though they be old Shining in that crown there is A jewel of spiritual gain. In it you have also placed A moral and mental grain. Alas! I go for time must speed: I must leave you behind. The crown you have bestowed on mi I embed in my mind. Farewell! dear Alma Mater, dear; My gratitude to thee, A Senior now I do embark With what you have taught me. Twenty-Two —By E. J. A. T wenty-three EFFE J.

We are sure that with the good qualities Jack has developed with the Brothers, he will reach his mark in life. Forty-three Forty-four SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four years! We have come to the end of our stay at De La Salle, and are proud to honor her as our Alma Mater. We go forth with the heritage of all she gave us, determined to justify the confidence she has placed in us. But now that we have reached the parting road, a retrospect impresses upon us how short-lived our high school days have been. We were simply cogs in that great machine called scholastic-life. It w'as our duty, as parts of that machine, to do the best we could. Whether we have done so or not concerns no one else but ourselves. After all, this is our life and we must live it, with no other person to suffer the consequences or reap the reward. Throughout our first year as Freshmen, we acquainted ourselves with our surroundings just typical onlookers and followers. The upperclassmen were our examplars, and we admired and imitated their every move. At each new activity or feature, we were awe-stricken, but as the year advanced, our eyes began to open, as it were, and we familiarized ourselves with the numerous phases of school life. Brother Patrick, the Director at that time, under whose devoted care we daily toiled, proved to be a father and guide. The first school year passed with many members of our class distinguishing themselves in scholarship, athletics, and activities. Our entrance into the Sophomore department found us under the tutelage of a new guide, Brother Richard, who continued, in many respects, the policy of his predecessor. Looking back now, we are inclined to believe that our status as Sophomores was quite exaggerated, at least in our own eyes. We were determined to far outdo our initial efforts as Freshmen. However, time seemed to slip by and we were fortunate to uphold the standards of our previous year. Promotion from the Sophomore to the Junior department bestowed upon us the cognomen of upper classmen. The realization that we were now to play a more vital part automatically impressed itself upon us, and all assumed an attitude of self-possession and gravity. Our resolve to lead was evident in all school activities. We led in the De La Salle Auxiliary Drive, contributed more players to the various athletic teams, and continued to lead the entire school in scholarship. We were not only Juniors in name, but more appropriately so in action. Still, the Seniors were always our models, and with each of their accomplishments, we busied ourselves for the duties that were to devolve upon us in the succeeding year. That time came more quickly than we had anticipated. We were Seniors, the leaders and pace-setters for our schoolmates; exemplars to be looked up to as we once did. Together with our preparations for a final and greater year in school life, we received an increase of social and religious training, as well as actual experience. All our previous accomplishments were upheld, and our interest in school activities did not become dimmed. Towards the climax of the year we were engrossed in the work on the Athanasian, our year book. From the very first step that we took until our last stand, the Christian Brothers have been our staunchest friends. Our interest was theirs, and not a single opportunity did they relinquish when our welfare was at stake. They are our benefactors in the truest sense of the word. Our most sincere prayer and ambition is that we may always have the honor to number them among our friends. Forly-ft e Past the streams, mountains and huge stretches of unfamiliar lands, these brave men, to whom we owe our present luxuries, discovered an almost limitless expanse of soil, trees, and resources. Immediately and unhesitatingly they embarked upon centuries of daring exploits, led by the hardy pioneers, who strived to turn those virgin creations into human benefactors. They were our precedent. The vista of the treasurehouse of learning having been opened up to us, we are spurred on by the apostles of learning to make the best of our golden opportunities. 1 Forty-six I Into The Far Beyond Classes Forty-seven SUMMARY OF THE JUNIOR DEPARTMENT It may be truly said that the present Junior Department of 1929-30 has certain qualities which arc outstanding. It led the whole school in the two drives of the year, that of the De La Salle Auxiliary, and the school play, Take My Advice.” The academic and commercial classes combined their efforts, scholastically and otherwise, to produce remarkable results. Stanley Orzezac, Charles Hoch, and William Prouty were the outstanding scholars of the whole department. Debating talent was evident in Junior I in the person of Bernard Van Demark, Leo Ambrose, and Clarence Arkell, who furnished opposition for the Seniors in the first inter-class debates inaugurated at De La Salle, this year, under the sponsorship of Brother Justin. The three all-conference De La Salle athletes were Juniors. James Gemlo and John Keefe shared all-conference honors on the gridiron at center and end respectively, while Babe Gearty was recognized as the most outstanding player in the Northwest High School Conference. Juniors II and III divided the winning honors for the school play and the Auxiliary drives. The present Juniors have maintained, during their three years at De La Salle, the spirit they established for themselves as Freshmen. They are a well-balanced department—in a word—typical De La Sallites. The faculty and the student body look forward to them as exemplary seniors next year.

They have the satisfaction of knowing that their class was one of the best in the school. They always maintained a high scholastic record, and their teachers, Brother Cassian, Brother Walter, Brother Justin and Brother Jerome have had cause to feel satisfied with the work of Junior I. Charles Hoch, William Prouty, Arthur Porter, and Jack Williams led the room in scholastic endeavor. Under the direction of Brother Cassian, their advisor, Junior I showed a school spirit that is well worthy of universal imitation, and maintaining a high scholastic standing, they also took active part in various athletic activities. Francis Hurley, Clarence Arkell, Byrne Keefe, Thomas Dougherty and the all-conference end, John Keefe, were members of the football squad. Bernard Van De Mark represented the room on the basketball team, while Clarence Arkell, Clifford Ostrem and John O'Rourke were active members on the hockey team. John Kelley and James O’Rourke found places on the tennis and golf teams respectively. In the Auxiliary drive Junior I was second only to Junior 3. Journalistic enthusiasts in this class are Leo Ambrose, Ed Monahan, Francis Hoben, Lloyd Nerburn and George Seibel, who are all members of the Islander staff.

JUNIOR II Out of a maze of excited Sophomores, a group of ambitious boys, taking the academic course, were assembled together September 7, 1929. This class, later to be known as the distinguished Junior 2, had for its adviser Mr. McMahon, the renowned physics professor, and Brother Justin, to instruct them in the fundamentals of English. Brother Justus and Brother Jerome, Religion and French teachers respectively, passed favorable comments upon the members. As Juniors, they felt an urge to distinguish themselves in all branches of school activities. In athletics they did the lion’s share of work. Eddie Roy, Babe Gearty, Donald Bissonctte, Vincent Cavanaugh, Pat Montague, and John Crossman answered the call for football, and remained throughout the season as mainstays for the Purple and Gold pig-skinners. Many of these boys also played on the basketball squad. Babe Gearty and Pat Montague were regulars. The call to the diamond found other players from this class in the lineup, John Hogan distinguishing himself on the mound. The able scholars of the room were Vincent Cavanaugh and Arnold Freundshu, both of whom consistently led their class. Valuable assistance was given to Brother Anthony’s musicians by Leon Albert, Vincent Kellet, Leslie Cochrane, Leon Marquis, and Walter Leavey. Emerging from Sophomores to successful Juniors, these aspiring scholars in turn hope to prove themselves worthy Seniors. Fifty JUNIOR III Fifth Row—Boffrrding, Fable. McMullen, Roger . Coghlan.

JUNIOR III Back again, after a full summer vacation, with glowing cheeks and eager, anxious eyes, the one-time Sophs met together as commercial students in Junior III. This group of vigorous Juniors was destined to elevate itself into the limelight. The school year was started out with a bang. Brother Eugene serving in the capacity of class adviser and Brother Justin the English teacher. In the first school-wide competition, the De La Salle Auxiliary Drive, these futuristic business men smashed an all-time record by leading the entire school, their total receipts being 552.00, the largest amount ever collected by an individual class. De La Salle athletics were bolstered by members from this class. Robert Beamish, Roy Gagnon, Bing” Miller, and the all-conference center, James Gemlo, were the gallant knights of the gridiron. De La Salle’s floor team found support in such men as Douglas Somers, Mickey McGuire, and Bing” Miller, all of whom hailed from Junior III. John Gaffney served as a dual representative, participating in both Hockey and Golf. Robert Korogi, Roy West, and Bing’ Miller did their share in upholding the school’s laurels on the diamond. As scholars the speed typists and the shorthand artists ranked high. Stanley Orczezac proved to be the scholastic leader as well as the outstanding typist in the group. Edward Pennig represented his class honorably as the sport editor on the Islander,” while Joe Graca and Vincent Fjosne served as capable musicians on De La Salle’s orchestra. Fifty-one THE SOPHOMORE DEPARTMENT Experience would have us believe that the Sophomore year is the most critical period of a high school career. It is at this stage that a boy decides upon his doing or undoing. Whether he will go ahead or stay behind is a question which can be answered with a fair amount of accuracy. Despite their variation in ability, the Sophomores of 1929-1930 have a worthy record to look back upon. While assimilating the true meaning of study, the members of the Sophomore Department busied themselves with the various activities and enterprises of school life. Early in the year, Kenneth McDonald and Lawrence Pahl left for Glencoe to continue their studies in preparation for the brotherhood. Among the outstanding scholars of the department, we find John McCaffrey, Frank Fleetham, Kenneth Pahl, Casimir Kubacki, Lawrence Berry, Harold Hafner, and Donald Yunker. The Sophomore basketball team won the school championship in the annual all-school basketball tournament, by defeating the Junior quint. They also furnished the lightweight team with most of its stars, contributing such luminaries as Novak, Zahradka, Anderson, and Derus. The failure of the Sophomores to exhibit their true colors was naturally due to the fact that we are all inclined to let up a bit during this part of our high school career, but they are certain to step out of this stupor next year when they assume the positions of ''upper-classmen.

SOPHOMORE I From bewildered young Freshmen in three months, to undecided Sophs, a number of students found themselves advanced. These lads, of Sophomore I, after going through the elementary steps of a high school career, decided to firmly embed themselves in school and take a more serious view. Suiting words with action, they became athletes; they became scholars; and they became true supporters of the school. In the school exhibition, the students of Sophomore One presented a quality of school work that greatly interested the parents and won their admiration. For football teams, this class offered three good lightweight players in the persons of McCauley, John Derus, and Jerry Voyer. At Brother Anthony’s call for orchestra members, Sophomore I outdid itself in being represented by Casimir Kubacki, Winston Richardson, and John Baader. These three played the violin, clarinet, and piano respectively. The performance given by each one of the three was greatly pleasing to the director, Brother Anthony. The lightweight basketball team boasted of two good players from this Sophomore class: John Derus, and Bernard Arrell. Though the inter-class basketball and diamondball record of Sophomore 1 has been poor, still, the determination to end on top is voiced by every one of its enthusiastic students.

SOPHOMORE II Thirty-six promoted Freshmen convened in a class room and formed the history of Sophomore Two. With co-operation and a high standard of class and school spirit, Sophomore Two began its school-wide fame by turning in the greatest number of basketball receipts and thus sharing in the athletic banquet. In the De La Salle Auxiliary Drive, it took a secure hold on third place, while in all other endeavors it made a worthy showing. Joseph Pendzimas, John McCafferay and Kenneth Pahl proved to be leading scholars. Others, however, come in for their share of the honors. In two recent Latin examinations, William Crossman topped the room in one, while Joseph Pendzimas led in the other. Harold Hammerschmidt set the pace for the entire Sophomore Department by winning honors in a Geometry test. Francis Warner and Richard Ennen played on the lightweight basketball team while Richard Hoffman, Mark Berg, and Frank Warner upheld the room’s standards on the yearling football squad. James Williams, Robert Williams, and Bill Hurley demonstrated their ability on the puck team.

SOPHOMORE III In September of nineteen-twenty-ninc, forty-tv. j enterprising young men entered De La Salle. These boys came with a determination to excel all other classes of the Sophomore Department in studies, athletics and school drives. Sophomore Three, as the boys were later named, proceeded to perform their work with a zest. As days went by, it was seen that they had not quite lived up to expectations in studies and drives, but were far above the other classes in athletics. The group made a fairly good showing in the first play and auxiliary drive of the school year. In the last play, they did very poorly, but arc determined to make up for it. Most of the students do not do their work, but there are a few who are above the average. When the call for football candidates was issued, Sullivan reported for the heavyweights, and Dolan, Crowley, Fat” Lawrens, Anderson, and Hules for the lights.” The teams made a very good record due largely to the help of these boys. Then Coaches McMahon and McNellis sounded the loud-note for basketball. Again Sullivan answered, as did Anderson; the former for the heavyweights, and the latter for the lightweights. These boys were two of the mainstays of their respective teams. Fifty-five SOPHOMORE IV Top Row—Philip McNulty, Jo� «ph Connolly. William Ryan, Raymond Kicnzle, Arthur Gates, John Larkin. John Lucas.

At least, that is what each member of that class would say, upon being interviewed. They render this conclusion on the desirable record they have made in comparison to the records of the other classes of the department. Here is a list of their activities: The fall call for football candidates brought Frank Novak to the heavyweight ranks, while Lucas, Francis Hogan, John Ryan and E. J. Sheehan formed a part of the lightweight battering ram. Frank Novak, Felix Potvin, Earl Zahradka, and Ed Sheehan, all veteran lights of last year, again reported for basketball. Maybe this interest in athletics is partially due to their professors, Mr. McNellis and Mr. O’Brien, who are both coaches. The title of noon-hour basketball champions went to their fighting floor men, and twenty pounds of candy went to the entire personnel of the class. In a geometry test given by the Director, Emil Kelas and Donald Yunker shared first honors. Brother Ambrose and Brother Joel also deserve a great deal of credit for the remarkable showing the Sophomores of Room IV have made. With this record to back them up these Sophomores defy all opposition, and as they leave their Sophomore year, they are intent upon beginning their school-life as Juniors and as active upper- classmen. Fifty-six Hundreds of them marching forward, Students big and small Like a river flowing onward Do they ever stall? He who hesitates is lost; Do not look behind Study, stand up, keep on forging; Keep your gait and mind. Fifty-seven THE FRESHMAN DEPARTMENT Recently the Freshman Department of De La Salle has been characterized by a bubbling spirit of enthusiasm and aggressiveness. The old idea of a shy and backward Frcshie can no longer be pictured. A new student, because he is new, is no longer an isolated being. On the contrary, Freshmen have plunged into the routine of school life from the very first. They have made themselves a part of the surroundings. The Freshmen exhibited their caliber on numerous occasions. Their class teams have produced men of ability who have often shadowed the upper classes. Their general activity has been most gratifying. Many have distinguished themselves scholastically, among whom are Joseph Connors, Stanley Kocisco, Irving Crane and John O’Malley. The lightweight football team, completing its second year at De La Salle, found many ambitious Freshies vieing for positions. Many, who would have otherwise remained out of sports, have become confident of their ability and will do much to boost future heavyweight teams. The lightweight basketball team met with similar success. This year’s class made a rousing success of the annual Freshman Play. Under the direction of John Seibel, the Freshman dramatists staged the play, Billy,” in a style worthy of commendation. Robert Vashro, Irving Crane, Laurent Dupont, and John Regan took part in the leading roles. Since a foundation is so necessary for any endeavor, the De La Salle Freshmen of 1929-30 have reason to feel gratified with their initial efforts. Fifty-eight FRESHMAN I Top Row—-Clrtus Swan.

FRESHMAN I Freshmen I has distinguished itself as being one of the most outstanding classes of the first year students. Its members have taken an active part in school activities and in athletics, as well as being scholarship leaders. Four scholarship winners are in the class: Joseph Connors, C. Cook, J. Eldredge, and P. Gearty, Eight boys are members of the Islander staff and have proved themselves capable journalists. Eleven took important roles in the Freshmen dramatic presentation, Billy.” William Vashro, the hero, and Irving Crane, the villain, were among the number. It distinguished itself from the other Freshmen classes by organizing and electing class officers. In the elections, Joseph Connors, the outstanding student of the room, was chosen president. Second choice for the vice-presidency fell to Irving Crane. James Rochester was the winner for the office of secretary, and William Kelly completed the list of the four officers by being elected the treasurer. In the biggest drive of the school year, the De La Salle Auxiliary Drive for the benefit of young men who are studying to become Christian Brothers, Fresh I did very well. After putting up a plucky fight it finally rested in second place for the Freshmen Department, being next to Freshman III. With the start that the students of this class have already, they are optimistic for the future. They are proud of their records, and are serving notice on all other classes that they will be leaders in the school for the days that they yet hav to spend at De La Salle.

FRESHMAN II There still is another crowd of progressive Freshmen who claim that they have shown their true worth. As the boys of Freshman II look back over their first year at De La Salle, they are indeed proud of being called members of this class. When Coach William McNellis issued a call for lightweight football candidates, four huskies responded from Freshman II. They w'ere Boiler, Smith, Fusson, and Glockner. In the Freshman Halloween party fellows from this room walked away with nearly all honors. The close of the diamondball season found the fighting team of Freshman II heading the Freshman standings, while the basketeers displayed wonderful talent, offering stiff competition to other department teams. The hundred-dollar-mark was passed in the Auxiliary Drive, placing this class among the school’s leaders Coach Marvin McMahons lightweight basketball squad was given an added impetus by the enrollment of Fossoin, Blair, Anderson, and McMahon. In play these lads were credit to their room. The Freshman play, Billy,” included Laurent Dupont among its cast members. Laurent drew- much comment upon the way in which he handled successfully a very difficult role. In the ticket drive for this production Frosh II again showed itself true to form.

After a series of intelligence tests, the students realized that there was much for them to do in the future, and they settled down to accustom themselves to the hard grind. This class started out to impress the others with its importance by outselling the other Freshmen, to finish in the lead for the De La Salle Auxiliary Drive. Some of the members also did meritorious work in the Freshmen play, Billy.” When the call for candidates for the lightweight football team was given, many aspirants responded from Freshmen III. Those who donned the gridiron uniform were Donald Peterson, Roman Hartfiel, William Hougard, Robert Lang, P. Thompson, and W. Tell. In the Freshmen algebra tests. Freshman III showed its caliber by winning first place. Thus it proved its superiority in the scholastic as well as the athletic field. Another important phase in the history of Freshmen III is its athletic record. In the noon-hour basketball schedule, this class was represented by a team that won the championship both times. On the diamond its team kept up the wonderful standing of the class by cinching second place in kittenball. After completing a year at De La Salle, Freshmen III class members will go into their Sophomore year with the satisfaction that they have done their part of real Freshmen.

These one-time eighth-graders, banded together under the name and banner of Freshman IV, have taken an active part in school affairs, and have revealed a list of their accomplishments. Their first argument is their neatness. In a contest to determine the neatest room in school, Freshman IV ran away with honors by scoring a total of 99 per cent to lead the entire school. They received candy as a reward. Robert Thorpe, one of them, took a prominent role in the Freshman production, Billy ’ It might be stated that in the ticket drive for this play, Freshman IV made a creditable showing. It repeated in the Auxiliary Drive and other school projects. William Brown, George Belair, W. Gonyea, Fossum and McMahon responded to the call for the lightweight basketball team. Their playing was a great factor in the team’s success. This room was represented on squads by D. Parker, R. Dillon, Regelhoff and Zawalnicki. Doing what only a few of the other classes have done, Freshman IV organized a club and elected officers. Upon nomination and election, it was found that William Brown was first choice for presidency. Robert Thorpe was chosen vice-president, and Robert Dillon was elected to the office of secretary and treasurer. Sixty-two FRESHMAN V Top Row- -John Molitor, Hugh Gaalaas, Edward Radkr, Thoma Braa .

FRESHMAN V Forty-two boys, all anxious and wishing to continue on in school, entered De La Salle on February third as the mid-year class. For a new class of students they were full of an unusual amount of pep and enthusiasm. They were determined to make good. The fine spirit which existed among them was a great factor in giving them a good start. From the beginning, it was evident that this class contained an unusual numbe. of athletes, many of parochial school fame. Naturally they started to take part early in athletic competition in the school. They immediately made their presence felt in the Freshman basketball circles by their wonderful playing. A feature game was arranged with Freshman III which the latter won, mostly because the midyear class was, as yet, not wholly organized. However, in the all-school tournament, Freshman V gave a brilliant account of itself by winning the Freshman department championship. In scholarship the first student to distinguish himself was Ferdinand Fisch, who received four A’s and a B up to the first reading of the reports. Warren was second, and Meehan was third. As other mid-year classes, this one seems to be upholding a high standard. It was the knack of such classes in the past to become leaders and, according to all records, these mid-year students will continue the tradition by living up to all past accomplishments. Sixty-three The vicissitudes of our forerunners were not in vain. After years of primitive labor, their ever-ready, progressive, and inventive minds enabled them to contribute to the welfare of the yet embrionic nation. Realization of the great value of time became a powerful impetus. The steamboat, one of the earliest devices to hasten transportation, decreased the loss of time in slower travel. Whatever our attitude in school might have been, we, too, early formulated evidence of our work by putting into practice the training that we received, one that was both religious and civil. The speed of time became only too apparent as successive days swiftly brought us to the end of our high school career. Sixty-four Power Began Activities ACTIVITIES The entire scope of activities at De La Salle during the past scholastic year denote a tone of decisive progress. During the year, four more De La Sallites, aided the Christian Brothers’ cause in the grandest way by personally responding to the divine call to the Brotherhood. These boys arc William Herbert, a former member of the graduating class of 1930, Lawrence Pahl, Kenneth McDonald, and Michael Fuss. The latter three arc completing their high school studies in the Junior Noviate at Glencoe, Missouri, while William Herbert will enter the Senior Noviatc on June 30th. The orchestra upheld the precedent set last year. It is no longer a mere gathering of student musicians, but a well-directed group of able players, under the watchful and progressive eye of Brother Anthony. Its ability is evidenced by the incessant demands for its appearance in the various parish activities and school entertainments. The Islander, under the advisership of Brother Ambrose, has continued to maintain its enviable position in journalistic circles, and has been given a first class rating in national competition. Mr. John Seibel and the Dramatic Club are to be complimented, unreservedly, on their rendition of the two plays of the year, Billy’ and Take My Advice. Both were marked successes. The Auxiliary Drive, under the able leadership of Brother Lawrence Sixtus, outdid all expectations this year. The total amount realized was more than double that of any single drive in the past. The Junior department led the school in the total returns. Activities, properly proportioned and controlled as they are at De La Salle, lend a reality to the routine of the school life which contributes, in no small way, to the ultimate efficiency of a high school education.

THE ISLANDER During the past year the Islander has enjoyed a very successful season. From the first, it showed its progress over all the other previous volumes. Its success was climaxed and assured when it received a first class honor rating from the National Scholastic Press Association. With that rating the 1929-30 Islander has reached the highest peak yet attained by any De La Salle publication. A precedent has been set which will give future issues a mark to aim at. The most notable feature in the Islander was its editorials and entertaining matter which scored a perfect 100 per cent. The sources of news and the front page balance also scored highly. An excellent rating was missed by a few points. The staff which was responsible for the high rank attained by the Islander consisted of Effe Abdo the editor-in-chief under whose direction the work was performed, Fred Olin, the sport editor, Lloyd Nerburn, news editor, and Robert Hoch and Leo Ambrose, associate editors. Robert Helin was business manager. A capable reportorial and business staff assisted the editors in their work. According to the usual custom, the Seniors withdrew at the end of the first semester to begin preparations for the editing of the Athanasian. In place of Effe Abdo, who was elected the editor-in-chief of the Athanasian, Leo Ambrose assumed the editorship. Lloyd Nerburn was elevated to the position of associate editor, while Edward Pennig became sport editor, and William Prouty was chosen as the head of the news department.

THE ORCHESTRA Brother Anthony once more has brought the Dc La Salle Orchestra to a stage where it has shown its ability and class as a group of well-directed musicians. Not only has it played for De La Salle activities alone, but it has filled, numerous requests for appearances at various parishes and schools in the city. The most outstanding phase of the musical year was the introduction of uniforms. These uniforms added much to the appearance of the entire personnel. With milky white trousers and white shirts serving as a background for a bright purplish tie on which gold De La Salle lettering shone out, they made the appearance as well as the work appealing. The progress which Brother Anthony was making was impeded when he took sick and was confined to the hospital for a great period of time. His absence was felt as the musical program decreased and much good was lost. After a lapse of a few weeks, Brother Jerome was given charge, and his work produced remarkable results. Strenuous practice was resumed at once with the consequence that Brother Anthony’s progress was kept up, and the season was finished in a pleasing manner. Four of the mainstay musicians will be lost this year by graduation, John Graca and Joseph Anton, violinists of the first rank, play their swan song, while William Burns, trombonist, and Patrick Burgess, drummer, also will leave. There are many promising musicians, however, who will return next year to form the nucleus for the orchestras of the future. Brother Anthony’s diligent work has not been wasted, and at this rate the orchestra will undoubtedly win wide recognition. Sixty-eight Left to Right: Getus Swan, Thom Donnelly. Robert Varusky.

BILLY” The dramatic endeavors, for the 1929-1930 school year, began with the presentation of ''Billy,” the work of the Freshman Dramatic Club. It was a worthy start, indicative of the ability and sincerity of its director, John Seibel. The play was witnessed by a capacity house on December 15. The young actors did meritorious work. They portrayed their parts in a professional manner, which added color and vividness to the entire performance. Robert Vashro took the leading role of Billy,” the lad who first lost his teeth playing football, and later, the plates while journeying on the same ship as his girl. This was the essence of many complications which made the play humorous and pleasing. Young Vashro did remarkable work in depicting his part. His rival, Sam Eustace, was portrayed by Irving Crane, and John Regan impersonated Beatrice Sloane, the leading girl. Both these lads did much in bringing out the interesting complications. Other supporting members of the cast were John O’Malley, who played the role of Alice, Billy’s sister; Leroy Smith, as Mrs. Sloane; and Lawrence Dupont, an interesting character of John Hargrave, the hero’s father, completed the major characters. Minor parts were enacted by Leroy Cook, William Hyland, Richard Burns, Robert Thorpe, Max Peterson. James Rochester, Joe Connors, Thomas Gill, Ralph Yaruska and Thomas Donnelly.

TAKE MY ADVICE” On April 27 and 28 the annual school play was given at De La Salle. A largf number attended each performance, and it was generally voted as being the best play ever put on at De La Salle. Mr. John Scibcl, a prominent alumnus of the school, directed the play, and it is largely through his efforts that it was a success. The play, Take My Advice, told the story of Buddy Weaver, a boy of seventeen, who leaves school without telling his folks in order to marry Marella Scotte. a vamp. His sister, Ann, has been persuaded by Kerry Van Kind, a promoter for a fake dramatic school, that she ought to go on the stage. Mrs. Weaver, an excitable woman, is interested in a psychological science called the power of numbers by which one’s place in life is determined ahead of time. She is determined to get Mr. Weaver to buy some oil stocks from Jimmie Thayer, a salesman. Just at this critical time Professor Bradley Clement, Bud’s English teacher, comes to see Bud, and through his advice and efforts everything is happily settled. Bob Speeter took the part of Buddy Weaver, Don Jardine the part of Ann Weaver, Thomas Reed was Mrs. Weaver, Ray Byrnes was Marella Scotte, Earl Emmer was Jimmie Thayer, Charles Cutter was Kerry Van Kind, and Robert Hoch took the part of Professor Clement. On May 8th, a banquet was given to the members of the cast and to the orchestra, at which Mr. Seibel and Brother Richard made very interesting talks. The dinner was enjoyed by all, and a hearty vote of thanks was voted for the cooks. The proceeds of the play were used for the education of the Christian Brother Novices at Glencoe.

THE AUXILIARY The termination of the Auxiliary drive on November 26, marked the most successful drive yet attempted in the school. It began November 20, under the direction of Brother Lawrence, whose ability as an organizer produced the remarkable results. The drive far outshadowed all previous endeavors. I he final total amounted to 2,255. A notable feature was the exceptional spirit exhibited by the Junior Department. Their total returns exceeded 1,000. Throughout the campaign the Junior classes were the standard bearers. The purpose of the Auxiliary is to give financial aid to the Christian Brothers in meeting the expenses of educating the aspirants to the order. The generous response showed that the reason for such an undertaking was understood and appreciated by the De La Salle students and followers. Such a conclusion is heartening to all true supporters of Christian Education. Many De La Salle supporters seized this opportunity to aid Christian Education and at the same time they merited the numerous indulgences which the Popes of the Church have bestowed upon this beneficial organization. The success with which this drive was crowned in a period of one week manifested the sincerity of the Catholic laity. Previous drives have been extended over a longer period of time but their comparison in time and in results proves the greater interest of Catholics. Seventy-one RICHARD DYNES JOHN GLEASON GEORGE KIERSH JOHN FUDALI Secretary President Vice President Treasurer ALUMNI One of the best organizations that a school can be blessed with is an alumni organization, not just an alumni organization in name only but an active organization working for the benefit of their Alma Mater; and this is exactly what De La Salle is able to boast of. The officers of the alumni are made up of men who have the true De La Salle school spirit and who inspire the other members. John Gleason, who is a prominent attorney in the city, has the honor of being President, and a worthy President he is, for he is one of the most active members, and one of the staunchest supporters of De La Salle. George Kicrsh, vice-president, has done very commendable work. Richard Dynes and John Fudali, the younger officers of the organization and graduates of only a few years back hold the offices of Secretary and Treasurer respectively, and two young fellows of more energy and school spirit could not be found. On January 23, 1930, the annual alumni banquet was held in the Nicollet Hotel with the large attendance of 325 guests. Many prominent men were on the speakers’ list, among whom were the following: Brother Patrick, former director of De La Salle and present director of St. Patrick's High School in Chicago, who made a special trip to Minneapolis to attend the banquet and address his former pupils; Floyd Olson, County Attorney; Rev. Father Schumaker, President of St. Thomas College; Rev. Father Dunphey, Pastor of the Ascension Church; A1 Knaeble, prominent business man of the city; Rev. Father Reardon, Pastor of the Basillica of St. Mary's, and Vincent Wallerius, President of the class of 1929. Seventy-two ALUMNI This summary would not be complete if some mention of Mr. Seibcl were not made. When Mr. Seibel, who graduated in the year of 1905, finished his course of study on the Island he did not forget his Alma Mater, but, on the contrary. he began immediately to help to better De La Salle by giving his heartiest support. One cannot begin to figure the good Mr Seibel has done for the school. He has directed the plays for many years, he has contributed to the De La Salle Auxiliary every year, he has offered prizes for the boys to compete for and many other good works. Mr. Seibel has made a record for himself that will live forever in the annals of De La Salle. The alumni has made many contributions of scholarships to the school, which enabled poorer boys to attend De La Salle and obtain the teaching and good example of the Brothers; also, when the basketball team was preparing to make its trip to Chicago, the alumni sent a check to the Brothers with the best wishes of the alumni for a lucky and good trip. Now that we, the Senior Class, have practically finished our High School course and are at the eve of being initiated into the sanctum sanctorum” of the alumni, we should endeavor to continue to show the spirit, which has been implanted in us, during our years at De La Salle, to join the alumni, to carry on the good works of the past and to make as an object the betterment of De La Salle. It may be interesting to know that— Joseph A. Hadley, 15, is Assistant to the City Attorney. A1 Hutch, ’06, has a prominent position at the Central Supply Co. Edwin W. Ahern, ’06, is manager of the Asbestos Slate and Sheathing Co. Chris Helin, '03, is advertising manager for the San Francisco Daily News. Leo Gleason, ’17, is assistant to the County Attorney. Felix Sherry, ’10, is assistant in the office of the Clerk of the Municipal Court J. L. Fleming, ’08, is in the plumbing and heating business. Fritz” B. Burns, ’16, is engaged in the real estate business in Los Angeles. On June 20, 1929, the annual golf tournament was held at the Superior Golf Club, with 75 members participating. The tournament was won by John Boike of the class of 1928. Seventy-three THE PATRONESS SOCIETY The Patroness Society was organized in February, 1925. At that time it was termed an outgrowth of the Parent-Teachers meetings, as it was through these gatherings the idea originated. At the first meeting officers were elected and plans made for an evening card party, which proved to be a phenomenal success. This encouraged the members to undertake the purchase of card tables, chairs, dishes, cooking utensils, etc., and in this way an earning capacity of considerable proportion was established. Under the capable leadership of Mrs. F. V. Holzapfel, the first president, several benefit parties were given, every one proving a success, both socially and financially. The principal object of the Society has always been the care and upkeep of the Brothers’ Chapel, the work and expense being assumed entirely by the organization. This had previously been met by Mrs. Jerry Coughlin, who for many of the declining years of her life had assumed the entire responsibility. After Mrs. Holzapfel’s second term of office as president expired, she assumed the duties of Chapel Chairman. Under her supervision the chapel was entirely renovated and redecorated, needed articles purchased, old ones either repaired or replaced by new, etc., the expense being defrayed by the Society. Strenty-four THE PATRONESS SOCIETY Among other duties of the Society may be mentioned the preparation and serving of banquets as testimonials to the athletic teams and other members of the student body, also planning and providing wardrobes of the latest styles for the he-actresses who portray feminine characters in the class plays. Many useful as well as ornamental articles in the school building have been provided by the Society. The officers and standing chairmen have been especially persevering in their work for the students of De La Salle. Mrs J. J. Kasel, president; Mrs. F. W. Liemandt, vice president; Mrs. Mary Herbert, recording secretary; Mrs. W. Alexander, financial secretary; Mrs. P. J. Kruinholz, treasurer; Mrs. L. D. Hamerski, equipment chairman, and Mrs. N. A. Boone, publicity chairman, have all proven their vital interest by the vim and vigor with which they entered all activities. Under the capable administration of Mrs. Kasel, the Society has grown in strength and numbers to the largest proportions yet reached, the roster having about reached the 200 mark. (There were but 25 members at time of organization in 1925). Owing to the unusual zeal and tireless energy of Mrs. Kasel, together with the hearty co-operation of other officers and entire membership, much more has been accomplished than seemed possible at the time of her election to the presidency. The 1930 class wish to express their deepest gratitude to the Patroness Society for the gift of 75.00 presented as a tesitnonial to their triumphant departure from De La Salle, the amount to be used as desired for their own benefit. We consider the Society one of the most valuable assets of the school and wish them continued success in all their future undertakings. Many of the mothers who are on the Patroness Society membership have been steady workers and contributors to the various drives and affairs in which they had no part. When one reflects that besides their activities here in the school they have been prominent in church organizations as well as charitable societies, and in general in everything that contributes to the public good, one may well have at least a slight understanding of the great work that they are doing for their boys at school. The officers of the Society have been especially persevering in their work for the welfare of the students of De La Salle. They have all taken their positions in the Patroness Society with an unusual amount of importance and have proven their vital interest by the vim and vigor with which they entered all activities. There can be no doubt that with the help of the mothers and the ever ready assistance of the Patroness Society members, the students of De La Salle in the future will realize even more than they do now that there can be no greater interest shown in their welfare than that which is manifested by the Christian Brothers and the mothers, teachers and parents. So with the combined effort of these two vital factors in the life of every Catholic boy, De La Salle's name as a true Christian educational school will be heightened not only by word of mouth but also by the results that will be shown by each and every boy who graduates from there, if that boy has taken advantage of all the opportunities given him. SeYcnly-fivc BOYS AT GLENCOE WILLIAM HERBERT WILLIAM SWAJA KENNETH PAHL GLENCOE Nestled in the foothills of the Ozark mountains, in one of the beauty spots of the state of Missouri, adjacent to the village of Glencoe, De La Salle Institute, the training school for the Christian Brothers of the St. Louis District is situated. Here, the young men who have hearkened to the call of the Savior and have reverence to devote their lives to the cause of the Brotherhood, assemble to undergo training preparatory for their life work. All the larger cities throughout the Mississippi valley from Duluth, Minnesota to Memphis, Tennessee, are represented. During the past four years nine De La Salle boys have gone to Glencoe. Among these is William Herbert, a former member of the graduating class of 1930. The training the young man undergoes in Glencoe is thorough. It extends over a period of nine years, seven of which are spent in Glencoe and the remaining two at De Paul University, Chicago. The first four years are known as the preparatory novitiate or juniorate. It simply consists in high school training. The novitiate proper follows the candidate's juniorate, during which time the young man is initiated into the religious life he is destined to lead. The novitiate lasts for 14 months and is then followed by the scholasticiate or university training. At the present time the number studying in Glencoe is greater than ever before in its forty odd years of existence. Yet there are not enough Brothers and an incessant call is being made for more. In regard to the life of a boy in the juniorate in Glencoe, it is not much unlike that of any other boy. There is a happy mixture of prayer, study and play. The Glencoe campus presents every opportunity for participation in the various sports. Seventy-seren Advance on water relayed its scientific benefaction to land, and the once primitive expanses were beginning to feel the great turns of the wheel of progress. If success was to be imperative, our ancestors believed, work must be accomplished from every angle, and a union formed between the natural resources and the supernatural gifts God gave to man. If our success in life is to be complete, we, too, must form a union. In its formation the two vital necessities of man must be joined, namely, a religious outlook and civil training, which combine to constitute an ideal citizen. Seventy-tight The Iron Horse Athletics SUMMARY OF SPORT ACTIVITIES The 1929-1930 school year marks another milestone of success and advancement in De La Salle sports. In nearly every branch, our athletes have gained the respect of all their opponents. The year was started out in an unusual manner when the football squad chalked up its best record to date by tieing St. Thomas for the conference championship. Although composed of rather smaller players than usual, the gridiron warriors, with three coaches at the helm: Geotge Roberts, William McNellis, and Cecil O’Brien, went through a tough schedule in a spectacular manner. The basketball season again saw De La Salle represented by a strong team on the floor. In the newly established Minnesota Catholic League, the Islanders • christened it by winning the first championship, under the guidance of Roberts and McNellis The squad finished third in the St. Thomas tournament, and was defeated in the last minute of play by Jasper High of Indiana, one of the finalists in the Loyola Tournament in Chicago. The hockey team had a fair season, but the prospects are more promising for next season. Coach McMahon guided the baseball squad to another brilliant record. Golf this year passed its first season at De La Salle. The team met difficult oppositions and gave a good account of itself at every turn, while the tennis team increased the confidence in that sport by the impressive way in which it went through its campaign, meeting the best of competition.

It was not outstanding, but due to the geographical nature of the schedule some of the best teams of the Northwest were met, and therefore a harder program was on hand than any other Twin City team had to contend with. De La Salle ended in a tie for first place with St. Thomas in the newly formed Minnesota Catholic High School League. Like Notre Dame, the Islanders rambled from town to town, covering about six hundred miles, to meet opponents. Cretin was our Nemeses again. It not only knocked us out of the first place, but also captured the Cretin Alumni trophy in its initial appearance. De La Salle opened its schedule on September 2 against the strong North High eleven, losing a hard fought 18-7 game. Bing” Miller and Iom Ruane gave a fine exhibition of all-around playing. Pat Montague caught a long pass from Babe” Gearty to place the ball on the one-yard line and Ed Roy put it across. Pat caught another pass for the extra point. October fourth found the Islanders tangling with St. Thomas on the cadet field, for the first conference game. With but two minutes to play remaining, the Tommies were leading 13-0. Tom Ruane caught a pass and ran for a touchdown, and thirty seconds later Pat Montague ran for a second touchdown. With but forty seconds of play ahead. Babe Gearty plunged over for the extra point, tying the score at 13 all. Frank Klingberg and Donald Rerat played their best game of the season, at tackle and guard. Eighty-three FOOTBALL The first conference victory came at the expense of St. Johns on October 13, when the Islanders journeyed up to Collegeville to nail up a 6 to 0 win. This was the Purple and Gold. He was the backbone of the defense during the whole game, another last minute victory, with a long pass. Babe Garty to Pat Montagu, resulting in the lone touchdown of the game. St. Louis Park fell before the driving Islanders on October 18. Some of the boys figured it was a track meet. It resulted in a score of 26 to 0. Ed Roy, Mike Langner, Babe Gearty, Pat Montague, and Urban Schwappach raced up and down the field piling up the 26 points. The line kept he Parkers from reaching the secondary defense. The greatest homecoming crowd in the history of De La Salle watched the Purple and the Gold trounce St. Cloud 13 to 6 on the St. Thomas field, Sunday, October 28. The half ended with St. Cloud 6, De La Salle 0. Pat Montague scored on a long run in the third period. Gemlo blocked a punt in the last period, and Pat Montague pulled a quarterback sneak and again went over for a touchdown. Richard Arrcll caught the pass for the extra point. James Gemlo turned in one of the greatest exhibitions at center that has been witnessed in a De La Salle contest. The following Friday, Mechanic Arts of St. Paul stopped the De La Salle victory march at Lexington Park 21 to 0. The Trainers had gone through the season undefeated, and found little trouble in repelling the Islanders’ desperate attempts. On November 7, the old rivals, Cretin High, inspired by a homecoming crowd, shattered De La Salle’s championship hopes, by taking a 14 to 0 battle. Cretin’s green material romped on the field and romped off after having given the champs a drubbing. On Armistice day the Islanders traveled to Watertown, South Dakota, to meet the Arrow High School team of that city. This proved to be the best game of the year although the South Dakota boys won 9 to 0. They played against the strongest line combination that De La Salle ever put on the field. The Arrows, unable to gain through the line, secured their victory by fourteen passes, of which one resulted in a touchdown and another in an extra point. As a result of an Islander fumble, the Dakotans secured a safety which gave them the game. The shining stars of the season proved to be Babe Gearty, the Islanders' hard-driving, bone-crushing fullback, who proved to be a constant menace to the opponents. James Gemlo, the inevitable choice for all-conference center, played the most consistent football throughout the entire season. Gemlo and Miller, an end, will form the essence of next year’s line. Tom Ruane, Kenneth Humphrey, John Keefe, Francis Fitzgerald, Frank Klingberg, Vincent Hoffman, and Donald Rerat were other gridiron heroes who helped De La Salle turn in its most successful football season. A great team is expected next year. Spring training and a summer camp will give the football aspirants an advantage which shall serve for a victorious campaign.

In these years if the team did not win the Catholic Conference race, it made short work of the St. Thomas Tourney. This year the basketeers again hung up a record that will live in the immortal hall of fame, it shall stand side by side with the glowing memories of the past, to brighten the present, and to give inspiration to teams of the future. The Islanders got off to an early start, when Coaches Roberts and McNellis issued a call for candidates in the latter part of November. This early session uncovered many new stars. Douglas Somers, Bernard Van Demark, Bing” Miller and Ed Roy stood out among the newcomers. These Juniors proved their worth as the season wore on. Henry Coulumbe and James Sullivan, Freshman stars oh last year’s lightweight squad, lived up to expectations, both earning berths on the first squad. Pat Montague, Babe Gearty and Tom Ruane, veterans of last year’s undefeated five, returned to the fold and were greater than ever. After two years on the side with a trick knee, Jim Gray again returned to the hardwood floor, showing the boys how a little rest can improve one’s play. With this aggregation as the main guns, the Islanders set out on their campaign, with Babe Gearty as captain. 1 he early season found them off on a practice jaunt among the non-conference camps. Among those of note were Mechanic Arts, State High School Champions, who were given a 11-7 trouncing. Chicago Eighty-fix BASKETBALL then sent St. George’s down to take a beating, and not yet satisfied, our squad journeyed to the Windy City and handed the Chicagoans another 23 20 setback. After a few more practice tilts, De La Salle was in shape to run through the conference schedule. St. Cloud was the first victim, falling before a 17-13 count. St. Thomas, Cretin, and St Augustine were disposed of in succession. Always looking for bigger and better opponents to conquer, De La Salle cut a nick in South High’s City Champion’s marless record with a 12-10 win. The Mechanic Arts rampaging floor men avenged themselves for their first defeat by reciprocating at our expense. St. Cloud and St. Thomas again made energetic attempts to dislodge De La Salle from the first place, but each in turn was repelled. But the Johnnies from Collegeville invited the league leading Purple and Gold men up for a game, and proceeded to present them with their only conference loss, by an 18-25 count. On the following Friday night, the largest crowd in the history of the school, watched the Islanders trounce St. John’s to the tune of 24-10. Cretin and St. Augustine completed the schedule. The final check-up found De La Salle with a secure hold on the Minnesota Catholic League Championship as a result of a record of nine conference wins and one loss. They won seventeen and lost only three of the scheduled games, which included the best teams of the Northwest. Entering the St. Thomas Tournament, the team won the first round by a 30-15 score from McDoncll Memorial. Austin fell in the second, by a 30-16 count. In the semi-finals De La Salle ran afoul of Cretin and lost a tough 11-15 fight. On the following night, they took third place by defeating St. Thomas 30-16, as St. John’s subdued Cretin to win the tournament. Babe Gearty was made captain and forward on the all-conference five picked by the St. Thomas college team. Jim Sullivan was made captain and guard on the second mythical quint wih Tom Ruanc as his running mate. A week later at the National Catholic tournament at Chicago the Islanders lost in the first round to Jasper High of Indiana 23-25 as a result of a last-minute spurt by the Hoosier five. Incidentally, Jasper High was runner-up in the National tournament. Thus the season was ended with 20 wins and five losses for an .800 percentage. Eighty-icven COULMBE.

HOCKEY When the call for candidates was issued in the early part of December, about forty boys reported to Coach O’Brien. In order to elude the cold weather, work was started immediately on the hockey rink. Then after two weeks of strenuous fundamental practice they disbanded for the holidays. The outstanding players for the positions were Myron Johnson, Dwight Basinette, Vincent Hoffman, Robert Williams, who held the forward wall, while Clarence Arkcll, Fred Olin, and Francis Fitzgerald stood the burn of the defense. Vincent Kellet alone shined in the nets. On January 10, the Islanders opened their schedule with Mechanic Arts on the home rink, losing the game by a 4 to 3 count. St. Paul Central handed them a 6 to 3 setback, the following day. On the seventeenth of January, Blake received its hardest fight of the season, when it was forced to hang on to a one-point lead for two periods. Superb goaling gave them a 1 to 0 victory over the stubborn De La Salle puckmen. A week later, the boys, twenty strong, journeyed to Faribault to lose a slow, 2 to 1 encounter to Shattuck. On Friday of the same week, the pucksters won their first conference game from Cretin by a 4 to 3 score. Vincent Hoffman put the Islanders into the running by scoring twice, then Clarence Arkell and Howard Trueman scored one apiece to put the game on the shelf. St. Paul Central delivered another setback through a 6 to 1 count. West High, city champs, then showed the boys a few tricks on the Arena ice by chalking up a shutout. The gods of hockey then handed St. Thomas the lucky horseshoe, and incidentally, a 1 to 0 miraculous victory over the scrapping Islanders. Premature warm weather necessitated the cancellation of further games. Eighty-tune Standing—Manager M. Johnson. J Murphy Sitting—E. Doar R. Welter. J. Gaffeny. GOLF The first golf team in Dc La Salle’s history was started this year and began a very promising season. The team was a result of Manager Myron Johnson’s determination and interest in giving the school a golfing precedent. At his call for the candidates of De La Salle’s first golf team, approximately twenty link wizards responded. At several meetings, he reminded the candidates of how important it was to begin a creditable season, and after final words of instruction, the entire group of contestants swung into tournament action to determine the five men who were to form the first De La Salle golf team. After a tournament that featured remarkable playing and one close defeat after another, five outstanding youths proved their superiority with the clubs. These were Richard Best, who became number one man and the captain of the team, Earl Doar, John Gaffney, Raymond Welters, and James Murphy. In the first game of the year with West, the green material on the De La Salle squad could not cope with the trained Westerners, losing by a 4 to 1 score. In the second game North also handed them a defeat. In both cases, however, the team showed improvement and is expected to give considerable opposition to the teams yet on the schedule which include Cretin, St. Thomas, Shattuck, South and others yet waiting.

BASEBALL Baseball has started another successful season at De La Salle under the coaching of Marvin McMahon, last year’s pilot, who plans an undefeated season. His attempt last year was marred by but one defeat. As the Athanasian goes to press, the team has won eight straight with no setback. Much of the success is due to De La Salle’s great moundmen, Mike Langncr, and Karogi, who have divided the pitching honors. Hogan has been an able relief twirler. Babe Gearty is on the receiving end of the battery and playing a wonderful game. James Gray and Francis Fitzgerald alternate at first base, while Kling-berg and Shenker arc on the keystone bag. Pat Montague holds down the short stop position, while Ruane covers the hot corner and Roy acts as an able reserve. Dick Arrell, Walter Hanrahan, Joe and John Anderson patrol the outfield. Langner, besides being a superb hurler, is one of the best hitters on the squad. Together with Tom Ruane, who also is a dread to opposing pitchers, he makes a habit of four-base hits and seldom fails to have a glorious day at bat. Blake was the first victim falling before Langncr s hurling by an 8-4 score. Karogi subdued Mechanic Arts 7 to 4 and Belle Plain fell twice before Karogi s masterly delivery, 5 to 4, and 13 to 1. Both pitchers took turns in beating New Richmond, Wisconsin, by the score of 10 to 1 and 4 to 6. In the Catholic League St. Thomas made a pitiful showing to lose 18 to 6. Nintty-one Top Row- Wm Kelly. Hoch. Lilly. Bottom Row---Olin. Manager Abdo. John Kelly. TENNIS Twenty net enthusiasts responded to the call of Manager Effe Abdo to take part in the annual tennis tournament for the selection of the team. Among those that signed their names were numbered Raymond Lilly, the only veteran of last year’s team, and Robert Hoch, 1929 semi-finalist. The candidates were paired and the tournament play swung into action. Out of the crowd of racquet swingers who met almost on every court in the city, four quarter finalists emerged. These were Fred Olin, John Kelly, William Kelly, and Raymond Lilly. In one of the most hotly contested pre-final matches, William Kelly defeated Robert Hoch. Hoch later merited fourth place by challenging and defeating Fred Olin who was relegated to fifth. Charles Huntley later eliminated Olin by a 6-1, 6-0 win. In the semi-final matches William Kelly defeated Fred Olin, and John Kelly defeated Raymond Lilly. John Kelly won the tournament by toppling his namesake, William Kelly. In the team playoff, John Kelly won the number one ranking, Robert Hoch, number two, Raymond Lilly, number three, and William Kelly number four, and Charles Huntley number five. These players have been displaying some unusual ability in the arts of the game, and although the entire team is practically new material, the season s campaign is looked forward to hopefully. Games have been scheduled with Shattuck Military Academy, North, South, Saint Paul Academy, and West. Ninety-two Back Row—Crowley. Riegelhoff. E� cr. Derm . Ry«n. McCauley. Parker Middle Row—Hoffman.

LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL When the call for the lightweight football team was issued on September 3rd. approximately fifty youthful aspirants reported. Coach Wm. McNellis had the enormous task of moulding a successful team from this group of green material. For the first two weeks the fundamentals of the game were stressed. On October 3rd. the lights met the St. Paul Academy on the latter’s field, and by a 27-7 victory demonstrated what could be accomplished by a willing group of boys under a conscientious coach. All the games that followed were a repetition of the first, an exhibition of fighting spirit. The lightweights had powerful opposition, owing to the greater size and experience of the teams which they played. They met Blake’s Academy first team, and held this strong squad to the low score of 12 to 0. A week later they clashed with the Columbia Heights heavies and showed the effects of persistent coaching, despite the 7-6 defeat. Other teams that the lights took into camp were West, Cretin, and a second encounter with St. Paul Academy. In a preliminary to the homecoming game, the lights met the Cretin yearlings and defeated them by a score of 7-0. The outstanding ball carriers were Mawxell Boiler, Aloysious Smith. Donald Parker and Henry Coulombe. The line had many valuable men to bolster its defensive play, among whom were John Hogan, John Crowley, Ralph Peterson, and John Derus. Heavyweights of next year, recruited from this year’s lights, will find their experience of this year very valuable. Ninety-three I'op Row—CharUk Ennen. Student Manager, William Gonyea.

LIGHTWEIGHT BASKETBALL The termination of the lightweight basketball season marked one of the most successful campaigns that has ever gone through by a Dc La Salle Junior squad. Out of fourteen games played, the yearlings, coached by Marvin McMahon, triumphed in eight and dropped only six. From the outset. Coach McMahon’s squad displayed its superiority. Although the majority of the players were rather lacking in size, the team more than gave a good account of itself. The playing of Earl Zahradka, Francis Novak, and Frank Warner was outstanding throughout the whole season. These smart ball-handlers were a constant menace to the opposing players and, more than ever, made the name of De La Salle feared by all those who mentioned basketball. These last, however, were not the only parts of the B’’ combination. The able help given by Felix Potvin, Ed Sheehan, John Derus, Fred Anderson, and others, was another factor which boosted the record of the quint. The turnout for the team this year was larger than those of previous years. Many Freshmen and Sophomores donned suits and were out for practice every night of the season. Consequently, there has developed a number of players of ability who will surely be a great factor in future De La Salle lightweight and heavywight basketball teams. Among the hardest fought games of the season were the St. Thomas and Cretin games. The lights of these schools have assimilated that deep spirit of rivalry which exists between the heavy squads. As a result, the lightweight games were full of pep and real fight. Ninety-four INDIVIDUAL REVIEW Tom Ruane, the Senior class’s most outstanding athlete, has gone through De La Salle participating in every major sport and being outstanding in every one. He was a remarkable end on the grid team, an unusual guard who received all-conference mention on the basketball team, and a hard-hitting, fast second baseman who was always a dread to opposing pitchers. Tom has a wonderful record to be proud of. Francis Fitzgerald, also making his final exit from school, has distinguished himself as an athlete. Fitz proved to be a dynamic lineman on the Purple and Gold squad who never knew when to quit. A marvelous defensive player and cannon on the offense for opening holes, he utilized every ounce of his ability. He played defense on the hockey, and all his playing was characterized by that ever-present grit. Vincent Hoffman, playing his first year on the football team, cinched a regular position as guard. He possesses remarkable fighting qualities which offset his laxncss in size and which made his powerful short body a regular bombshell which was ever exploding in the opponents’ line. For two years he served as forward on the hockey team and never failed to be a mainstay. Kenneth Humphrey, though of small stature, persevered in his four years of school by vicing for sport honors against bigger schoolmates. In his last year he earned a position on the football squad and played a real game from the halfback position throughout the season. Mike Langner, another De La Salle luminary, starred as a pitcher on the diamond as well as having played football and basketball. There have been numerous other athletes who have served to carry on the colors of the Purple and the Gold in victory and in defeat with the same grit and fighting spirit. Frank Klingberg, one of the toughest tackles in the whole conference, has been one of the main cogs in the De La Salle line. For a big fellow he was fast and used his speed to a big advantage. Donald Rcrat, one of the biggest fellows in the squad, teamed up with Klingberg to give the team an unbeatable pair of tackles. All-around stars that will return next year to continue their brilliant performance include Babe Gearty, outstanding in the three major sports. He was the Islander’s main cog in the backfield, serving as one of the hardest driving fullbacks yet seen on the gridiron at De La Salle. He won all-conference recognition as a center on the floor quint, and caught the offerings of De La Salle pitchers on the diamond in remarkable fashion. Babe will return next year to continue his sporting activities. Pat Montague also has shown as an Islander luminary in the three main sports. A smart quarterback on the co-champs of the gridiron, he ran the team in brilliant fashion, and displayed field generalship and driving ability. On the baseball team, he held down the shortstop position as well as being a dependable hitter and an unusual base-runner. Willard Miller, another Junior, has displayed remarkable ability as an end on the football squad. He was a good substitute for Gearty as center on the basketball quint. He was an able substitute also on the diamond squad. The sports at De La Salle have been characterized by a regular rise of the young and green material to the important positions on the first squads. The lightweights both in basketball and in football have produced players of great ability. A real preliminary training on the light squads fits the youthful players for heavy duty on the big teams. De La Salle sports have also been represented by numerous other players. Urban Schwappach, Richard Arrell, Edward Roy, Bernard VanDemark, John Hogan, Jimmie Gray, Myron Johnson, Howard Trueman, Thomas Daugherty, and Fred Olin. James Gemlo made the all-conference center position on the football team and John Keefe won that recognition as end. Ninety-five Top—Hurley, Earley. Van Demark. Bottom—Dougherty. Arkell. Murray.

Ninety-six ■««Kirmi •‘ ■'T INTERCLASS BASKETBALL With the inauguration of the new inter-class basketball league, the noon-hour games took on a greater aspect of importance and quickly ascended to the spotlight. The classes were represented by teams comprising the best talent of the rooms while the other mates formed the rooting sections that gave the encounters a genuine competitive touch. The league was divided into two divisions, The Senior-Junior league, and the Sophomore-Freshmen section. The schedule drawn up provided for 420 games. Each one of the fifteen teams entered was to play fourteen games in both halves. The division winners in each semester were to play for the title. Junior I took first honors in the upper class league for the first lap, while Senior I swept all opposition before it to corner the title for the last grind. In a post-season game, the Juniors defeated the Senior I team to take undisputed possession of the title. The Junior team had Arkell Van Demark, Hurley, and Early as some of its big gunners, and the Seniors put a team on the field that boasted of such players as Lilly, Humphrey, Helin, Trueman, and Mulhcran. The clash was featured by the usual high spirit that exists between these two rooms whenever they met in any competitive form whatsoever. Sophomore Four showed its winning colors to the lower classmen all the way, and closed the season by winning the championship during both divisions of the schedule. Novak, Shay and Shcean, were among its warriors. The going was made rough for it, however, by the stiff opposition that was offered by Sophomore Three and Freshmen Three. After the titles were settled, the annual inter-class basketball tournament got under way with every department being represented by the pick of its players. The Freshmen, however, conducted a tournament among themselves in order to determine finally the outstanding Freshmen basketball team in the department. After a series of eliminations and hard fought contests that were featured by a wonderful display of masterful playing and unusual head work for players so young. Freshman Five, the youngest class in the department, emerged victorious. On its way to victory it had drawn a bye, won an 8 to 4 victory over Freshman Two, and trounced Freshman Three by a 2 to 0 score. With their disputes settled in their own ranks, the Freshmen turned to encounter the Sophomores in the first inter-department tournament game. They were hoplessly defeated, however, by the dark horses by an avalanche of scores that ended the game 26 to 4. Sullivan, Sheean, Coulombe, Novak, Brosenham, and Zahradka formed an unbeatable combination for the Sophs. The toughest meeting of the evening proved to be that between the Seniors and the Juniors. This game was throughout a fast, tough, and exciting affair. The fast pace set began to tell on the Seniors, and as the game neared the close, the Juniors began to increase their lead until they finally emerged on the long end of a 25 to 13 score. Montague, Roy, Miller, Davis, and Van Demark represented the Juniors, while the Seniors were represented by Lilly Ruane, Klingberg, Schwappach and Humphrey. With Mr. McNellis as official, the championship game then got under way. Undaunted by the fact that they were competing against upper classmen, the Sophomores bored right in, and began to show the way to the Juniors. Much real playing was witnessed during this struggle as the basketeers did their best to carry the championship to their department. Better team work and more endurance won for the Sophs who piled a score of 21 while the Juniors trailed with 12 points. Ninety-seven their time advancement was unremitting. From the simple devices of navigation arose the now complicated scientific methods of transportation, power, and manufacture. They called to their assistance the gratuitous contributions of nature and molded from them vitality and a mighty nation. At our departure, we also hope to have molded our success from the opportunities that daily presented themselves in school. Our success is morally certain if we have done so, but a weak and tottering foundation is the lot of those among us who have allowed the seemingly small things to slip by unnoticed. i Ninety-tight Progress — Industry Feature One Hundred THE GOAT SONG” Down with the windows; Put on your coats, The Freshman Class of 26 Began here as the goats.
