ATHANAS IAN LEON C. ALBERT Orchestra i, t, 3, 4 Chemistry Club 4 Leon is inclined to lx a rather quiet and reserved lad and perhaps this is the reason his friendship is so highly valued by those who know him best. Perhaps the only time Leon loses his reserve is when he plays his trombone, and on these occasions he becomes the modest and deserving center of attraction. If l.eon chooses a musical career, we will vouch for his success. LEO J. AMBROSE Edit or-in-C hief Islander 3 Dramatics 1, J. 3, 4 Dress Club 1. •• Tennis Manager 4 Debating 4 Leo, the oratorical lion of the senior class, has become well known through his domineering influence in argumentation. Possessed with a jovial nature and journalistic tendencies, he has been prominent at De La Salle during his four years here. Leo's dramatic ability should assure him of a successful future, and his ready wit. a continued popularity. CLARENCE J.

19 3 1 ATHANAS 1 AN CLASS OFFICERS The Class of 1931 has just reason to feel proud of the high calibre Y f school spirit they have so consistently displayed during their stay at De La Saji . Both as underclassmen and as seniors, their record in anything even only remotely concerned with the vital interests of De La Salle has been exemplary. One feature worthy of note was the unity evident in the class as a whole; no effort was made to instigate that pernicious rivalry that eventually vitiates any group. They were all. academic and commercial students alike, honored members of the Class of 1931, and were invariably respected as such by their fellow Brother Seniors. Skcftai'y - TV «o EDWARD ROy V» « Pi't idcn V JAfALf GE ILO The meeting convoked early in the year for the election of officers resulted in victory for Bernard Van Demark. James Gemlo. and Edward Roy. Bernard Van Demark of Senior Two was accorded a well-merited tribute in his unan-mous selection as class president. His election was no surprise. “Barney' is the most outstanding member of the Class of 1931. As class president, editor of the Athanasian. and president of the Chemistry Club, he always has exhibited those sterling qualities of manly leadership which have endeared him to each and every member of the class. James Gemlo. a sensible, level-headed youth, ably fulfilled his duties as vice president. Ed Roy. secretary and treasurer, although a member of the Class of 1931 only by adoption, has conclusively proven himself worthy of the honor. During his brief stay of two years, he has thoroughly assimilated the De La Salle spirit: on the athletic field, in the classroom, in the general activity coincident with school routine. Ed has been our ideal of fair play. Without any vain boasting we feel justified in extending a cordial invitation to the classes of the future to look back on the Class of 1931 for inspiration. During our four years we have learned to love De La Salle as our true Alma Mater, and we trust that fond affection will not be relinquished as members of the Alumni. T wrnty-one
