To be exact, it's Nicollet Island, which perches on the brink of the famous St. Anthony Falls. The island itself is about three blocks long and one block wide. With the recent addition of our football field, the campus cuts across the center of the island from shore to shore. The historical background of our beloved Rock is very rich and very interesting. Its excellent location once served as a natural means of protection lor the campsites of the early French Top-A view of the Science Building and shore line as seen from the far end of the Hennepin Avenue Bridge.

Later It was the proposed site of the state capitol. Now it lies hidden in the heart of Metropolitan Minneapolis, though few people realize that there is actually an island in the center of the city. The school proper consists of two buildings. The smaller one, built in 1900, houses what is known technically as the Commercial Department. It also encloses the band quarters and the library. The larger building, finished in 1922, goes under the title of the Science Building. March of this year marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of Above-A front view of the Science Building.

The gym and auditorium take up the center portion of the Science Building. The west end of the campus is marked off by a low hedge; to the east the tall poplars form a sheltering wall of green. Velvety stretches of green grass flourish around the buildings, set off in the spring and summer by flowers in beds along the walls. The western end of the campus is dotted with a variety of trees, which serve to shade the front. We are justly proud of the home of the Islanders.

After a happy Hi-Ho to the many Joes we've possibly forgotten during our summer solace we buy books and just bang around for a time. We see that autumn is again here with our annual retreat, homework headaches, and wistful waits for streetcars. Autumn brings the time of roughin' up the pigskin a bit—the time when gay gals in blue jeans hop in the old jalop and buzz out to the bleachers to lend the support of their feminine finesse to make this first game a smashing Islander victory—when homecoming buttons veritably blare forth their threats to our challengers whose defeat we believe, with the faith of Job, is certain. We'll always remember, too, the fun we had at the Homecoming Dance and dinner at the Red Feather with that best gal. Our autumn, too, is the season of Hallowe'en and of the pumpkin which recalls to us the efforts of our Pilgrim Fathers who led us to observe Thanksgiving with its turkey, cranberries, and all the fixin's. It's the season of the hunter, who, at the crack of dawn, with his trusty bird dog, frightens the haughty mallard as it ducks and splashes about in the echoing retreats of the marsh. With autumn the beginning of the school year, we like to think our freshmen personify it, for, like the autumn sun peering into a country valley of peace and contentment, our freshmen are taking their first look at a high school career of pleasure and achievement. First Days Are Always Bewildering The first days of every year at De La Salle are days of great confusion and general bewilderment, especially for those newcomers, the freshmen. During the two days of registration, everyone, including the veteran seniors, Is hurrying about trying to find his home room; buying books, paper, pencils, and other supplies; and waiting to be assigned a locker in which to place all these valuable articles. Having adjusted themselves to the locker conditions, all set out in search of their classes— and search they do. Just os Mrs. Anderson soid, when asked how the first few days looked to her, Everyone seems to know his way around quite well except the freshmen who are continually getting lost and traipsing into the office, using it as on information bureau. There are many new things the freshmen must get acquainted with around the school. One of these is learning to call the Brothers as such. Many slips of the tongue are made during Top—Two of tho new freshmen ore receiving o cordial welcome from Brother Bernard. Shokirtg hands « John Welsh and, next to him, Raymond Swodner. Bottom —Two freshmen, Marty Campion and Dan Casey, are receiving their cords from the school secretory, Mrs. Anderson. these busy days, and they are often referred to as Father and sometimes as Sister. When some of the members of the faculty were asked their opinion as to how they were affected by the confusion, there were many varied answers. Brother Bernard stated that the freshmen showed os much intelligence in conducting themselves as any other previous class, but it was a task getting them to Page ten realize the tact that the subjects assigned were given them for a specific purpose. As a result of the entrance exams, the courses were assigned to each student to best suit his first days at DE. In the cafeteria Brother Thomas was having a hard time getting the freshmen to understand that they had to have tokens to buy food. It became increasingly difficult when a pack of empty stomached freshmen came clamoring up to the counter, with eager outstretched hands, for their favorite dish —spaghetti. To the freshmen the lockers are a new, fascinating delight—a private little compartment with a secret combina- Top—Our bookkeeper, Mr. Thompson, Is pictured receiving the entronco feos of three incoming freshmen, left to right, Larry Schulte, Joe Hale, and Ray Moriani.

These secret combinations often present quite a problem, especially when the student has only a minute and a half to get to his first class and finds that he can't recall his combination. It isn't only the freshmen who forget their combinations, either. On the Monday morning following Christmas vocation, one of the more prominent seniors, with a rather high IQ, came into class several minutes late with a big overcoat on and a lunch under his arm. When asked by the Brother if he was cold and hungry, he replied with a sheepish grin and a rose tinted face, I forgot my combination!'' Other students, with all their experience over freshmen, also find some things at school bewildering. Pag© eloven Freshmen Are Full of Youthful Energy It is with great pleasure that we introduce to you . . . our freshmen. No school should be without them. They add a touch of wide-eyed naivete, enthusiasm, and vigor to the school and its activities that is needed and welcome in any school. DE's freshmen have shown themselves to be a live-wire group. They have organized a freshman council and elected officers. The council members also serve os advisory officers. They are as follows: Advisory 24C—Thomos Connolly, president; James Joranger. vice-president; Dale Kobbe, secretary; Gerald Cullen, treasurer. Advisory 23C—Lloyd Johnston, president; Daniel Casey, vice-president; Darwin De Rosier, secretary; Richard Sunde, treasurer. Advisory 14C—John Landberg, president; John McKenna, vice-president; Stanley Hanson, treasurer; Richard Barrett, secretary. Advisory IOC—Jared Ferrell, president; James Leigh, vice-president; Donnelly Black, treasurer; James McCord, secretary. Advisory 309—Lawrence Schulte, president; Jerome Binko, treasurer; Lawrence Schaefer, secretary; John Sexton, vice-president. Advisory 207—Richard Malenfant, president; Joseph Mayer, vice-president; Gerald Oberaigner, treasurer; Thomas Kelly, secretary. Brother Felix, freshman moderator, teaches religion, woodshop, and mechanical drawing. He is Vocational Moderator and sponsor of the Glencoe Club, besides being in charge of school maintenance.

Page twenty September Retreat Officially Opens Religious Program To obtain a spiritual education along with practical training is the chief reason why we attend De La Salle. Every half-hour in class we are reminded that we are in the presence of God. We have the opportunity to receive Holy Communion every First Friday, when we have Mass in the gym. Vocations are encouraged on Vocation Day, the twenty-fifth of every month. We started off this year with a retreat during the sizzling days of September 8, 9, and 10. We shall probably all remember that retreat for a good many years to come. Luckily, though, we had the good fortune of having a fine retreat master. Father Murphy, C.S.S.R., a former chaplain in the army in World War II. He did an admirable job of working in his war experiences with his theme, which was practicality. He held our attention and interest all through the retreat by occasionally telling us about one of his war experiences. He also kept his Irish temper in check even when a few boys in the back row were dozing. Father Murphy would start off each talk by saying, Let's be practical. Then he got down to cases and covered all such subjects as religious vocations, sex, married life, and vocations to the professional life. His approach was chiefly the reason why the retreat was a success. Father Schmul, S.M., and Father O'Brien, C.S.C., have been our chaplains for First Fridays. They say Mass and distribute Communion. We recite the responses in Lotin. After Mass those who hove received Communion eat breakfost in the cafeteria. Foreign missionaries sometimes say Mass and then give interesting talks on vocations or the missions. Above—Father Schmul, S. M., our chaplain, soys Mas In the gym a John and Richard Maclnnes serve for him. Below-Father Schmul distributes Holy Communion to Bob Smith on First Friday with altar boy John Maclnnes sorving. The number of students receiving Communion on each First Friday is about 400. Page twenty-one Light Hearts Make Homecoming Fun White smoke over De La Salle — we had a queen! After a conclave of the senior officers we were told that the 1947 Homecoming queen had been chosen. On Friday afternoon, October 17, at the assembly we saw her for the first time, escorted to the stage by Dick Sherry. Queen Joan Clifford graciously accepted the crown from her assembled subjects, and Senior President Mike Merrigan placed it on her head. In response she wished us luck in the big game on Sunday, and the audience was over. On Sunday, October 19, we watched our tough eleven go to battle against the St. Cloud Crusaders, and our queen rallied her troops to a decisive victory on the gridiron, 14 to 7. Nothing but the best for DE men, and these are the best indeed. The three lovely misses ore the gueen and her lodies as they drive among their loyal subjects at the Homecoming Gome. Poge twenty-two At eight o'clock Queen Joan appeared on the floor to the strains of Ed Bossing's orchestra to begin the 1947 Homecoming Dance. After three hours of dancing. the madcap round of Smokey Point, Nolan's, and the Rainbow began. There was even some talk of a new roadhouse, where most of the seniors went, called Roger's or Pahl's or something. Then, after the gals were taken to their homes and the cars carefully deposited in the garage, came the long trudge, shoes in hand, up the long-darkened stairway —for by now it was not such a decent hour.

Mighty Men of DE De La Salle captured the Central Catholic Conference crown and holds the title for the second straight year. Climaxing the season by a crushing victory over St. Thomas, the Islanders stood undefeated and untied in conference play, thus entitling them to receive the coveted football championship trophy. Tom Coulombe, speedy Islander halfback, led the conference scoring by ploughing his way to seven touchdowns. Second high conference scor- Wear Grid Crown ing honors were given to hard hitting Dick Dargis, who came through wfih six tallies. Dave Kennedy did a fine job of kicking by converting on 13 scores to take top conference honors In the extra-point department. Fast running Steve Bell hit for two touchdowns, while end Pat Kelley and halfback Bill Hinton each scored one marker. During the season's conference play, De La Salle piled up a total of 115 points while the opposition scampered for 28.

In the line aro PRE-SEASON GAMES Winning one game and losing two in preseason play, the sputtering De La Salle football machine gained needed strength and experience in tho three pre-conference tilts. De La Salle opened the football season by trampling Blake 14 to 0 on the losers' rainsoaked field. The Islanders were sparked to victory by the outstanding play of Tom Coulombe and Dick Dargis, who each accounted for a touchdown. This was the only defeat Blake suffered. The following game saw DE in action away from home against Duluth Central, to whom the Islanders dropped a heart-breaker, 7 to 0. Hard running in the backfield failed to halt Central, who seemed to have all the breaks. DE was unable to score, and Central won on a lone tally. An eventful second half spelled defeat for the Islanders, as Edison won 13 to 6. After outplaying the Wizards for a lead of 6 to 0 at the end of the first half, DE fell short of victory by allowing two touchdowns in the last half.

The individual ploy of these All-Stars is what enabled the Islanders to go through their conference with a clean unbeaten and untied record. ALL-CONFERENCE MEN De La Salle was honored this year in having ten men on the All-Conference teams picked by the Minneapolis Times and St. Paul Dispatch. The Times had Kennedy, McGinty, Barber, Kelley, Coulombe, and Dargis on the first team. Pawlik and Dutcher on the second. The Dispatch honored Kelley, Fitzgerald, McGinty, Dutcher and Coulombe with first string ratings, while Kennedy, Bailey, and Dargis made the second team. Tom Coulombe received All-State Honors. DE 35 - ST. AGNES 7 In a terrific showing of class and speed the Islanders beat the Aggies, 35 to 7. The first period had Dargis and Coulombe both scoring. In the second period Hinton scored for the third tally. Once again in the third quarter Coulombe easily loped 60 yards for a touchdown. Also In this quarter Steve Bell mode his speedy 75-yard runback and final Islander score. Dave Kennedy's toe accounted for all five extra points. St. Agnes scored in the final period. Brothor Mark, Athletic Director, and De lo Salle Cooeh Dick Reinhart happily admire the trophy presented to the Island ers for the football chompionship of '47, tho second that Cooch Reinhart's teams have won. Page twenty-six DE 14 ST. CLOUD 7 Sr. Cloud appeared as one of rhe major bumps on the Islander path to victory. But DE overcame the Crusaders in o hard fought bottle, 14 to 7. From the outset the team and fans knew this was going to be a true test of skill for the team from down river. Both teams' defensive ploy was remarkable until the end of the first period, when Tom Coulombe found a hole in the center of the line and ran 60 yards to a tally. Kennedy's kick was good, and DE led, 7 to 0. The second quarter found the Islanders on the march from the 45 to the 3, where Dargis carried it over. Kennedy's kick was again good for DE's Final count. In the third period defensive play again came to the foreground. In the final period a remarkable block of Peterson's punt set up the Crusader's only touchdown. DE 28 - ST. THOMAS 0 The second straight Central Catholic Conference Championship went to De La Salle by way of a 28 to 0 victory over St. Thomas. This year was also the First time the Islanders had ever won nil Five conference games. Dick Dargis scored in the First quorter after George Pawlik had blocked a Tommy punt. Dargis, after repeated drives from midfield, got the next two tallies. The Final marker came when the alert Islanders recovered a blocked Tommy punt on the Cadets' six-yard line. From there it was easy, as Steve Bell went unmolested to pay dirt. Dave Kennedy converted on all four occasions.

DE 19 - Taking to the air until they could get their footing on a muddy field, the Islanders decisioned St. John's, 19 to 7. In the first quarter Pat Kelley snared the slippery pigskin tossed by Tom Cou-lombe for 6 points, while Kennedy added the conversion. ST. JOHN'S 7 The third period found both teams exhibiting some beautiful ground work on the already mucky field. But the surefooted Islanders had too much drive for the St. John's boys. Coulombe raced 45 yards for one marker and bulldozed from the 3-yard line for another. Page fwonfy-eighl DE 19 - CRETIN 7 A decidedly superior Islander team outclassed a far heavier Cretin eleven, 19 to 7. Despite bad field conditions, the Islanders handled the ball quite well and turned in a very neat running exhibition. After an exchange of fumbles, with the Islanders gaining final possession on the Raider 21, Dick Dargis romped around end for six points. It looked like a close game as Cretin intercepted a mid-air fumble and raced to pay dirt. The Islanders roared back as Coulombe scored from the four, and Kennedy converted to make it 13 to 7 at halftime. Tom Coulombe put the game on ice in the second half as he took a Raider punt on the Cretin 48-yard line and weaved his way to a touchdown and the final score. Although the backs did the scoring, much of the victory was due to the drive of the Islander line. B SQUAD Under the able direction of Coach Jerry Elliott, the Junior Islanders and future DE stars had an up-and-down season, emerging with one win, one tie, and four losses. The Junior Islanders dropped two heartbreakers to the Junior Cretin Raiders, the first a 6 to 0 thriller, the other a 12 to 7 defeat in which the final score came during the last minute. Although losing to St. Thomas, the DE Bees gave the Cadets a reol battle, being edged out by a tally in the last 36 seconds. If spirit had meant victory, these boys wouldn't have lost a game. Lack of experience hurt them, but nothing could breok their spirit. Dick Roedel, fullback, Fred Cussler, tackle, and Dick Perzel, guard, showed promise of being a great help next season in filling some of the vacancies of the A Squad.

Queen Winter, clad in her fabulous and flowing robes of ermine, has finally arrived; with a flash of her wand she has transformed our city into a fantastic dreamland of jewels, scintillating under a wintry moon. To gladden her on her cold way, Queen Winter has brought with her Christmas and all the joyous good will that we feel when we contemplate the birth of the Divine Child in the manger. It is this same good will that in every home heaps the gifts about the Christmas tree to be opened on Christmas Eve. Mufflers, skates, gloves, and skiis are usually found in the bundles, and, without fail, somebody always manages to get an atrocious blue and red tie. Christmas Eve, too, is the time when the family sits around the radio enjoying the melodies of carolers and eating popcorn balls, while in the kitchen the buzzing of the beater tells us that Mom is mixing up a piping hot batch of Tom and Jerry's. It is during the snowy season of winter that we get together for an occasional skating party, and the time when our hockey team gripes when the coach calls a practice in 10 below weather,- but, for the most part. Jack Frost manages to keep our activities on the inside now. Gymnasiums are soon ringing with the cheers of happy bucket-ball bugs. Our play cast members begin to brush up on their lines, and the student council plans the Senior Prom. Because winter is the second season of the school year, we dedicate the following pages to our Sophomores, who are now enjoying the second season of their high school career. Poge thirty-three Sophomoro deportment officer! ore absorbed in data pre- secretary; and Dick Roedel, president. Standing are Tom sented by Brother Albert, advisor. Seated are Hons Reiss, Kammerer, treasurer; and Tom Kasbohm, vice-president. Sophomores Begin Departmental System This year marks the first time in Island history that the sophomore class has been organized on a departmental basis. The system was inaugurated in September when a council made up of sophomore advisory officers elected Richard Roedel to serve as president of the sophomore class. Other departmental officers are Tom Kasbohm, vice president; Tom Kammerer, treasurer; Hans Reiss, secretary. Council members include: John Moore, Ted Busch, and Neil Gogen of 20C; Don McGinty, Dave Wachtler, and Gordon Weber of 201; David Ek, Willard Wogner, Adrian Huyck, and Walter Sipe of 304; Gregory Waddick, Richard Boemer, Lowell Theilen, and Richard Meyer of 306; Tom Corbett and Tom Bye of 307. Brother Hermes Albert, who is a familiar figure at De La Salle, is the department moderator. Brother Albert teaches second year Latin and instills into the minds of his pupils an undying appreciation for the deeds of J. Caesar. His merchandizing skill is proved by his efficient management of the bookstore. He also finds time to assist Brother Mark in the athletic department. The council specialized in the sponsoring of a juke box dance after the St. John's basketball game. This affair proved very popular with the student body. The council also arranged a game night for the entire department. An active sophomore class is an excellent indication of good things to come.

Be‘ y Sue Mad Confusion Highlights 'Charley's Aunt' Tho hord work of Brother Roymond, dramatic director, of Brother Gilbert, his assistant, and of the Burbage Players paid off in an excellent presentation of Charley's Aunt ' Total attendance for four performances was 1,900. Instead of having an all-masculine cast as usual, a precedent was broken when damsels were imported from Holy Angels', St. Margaret's, and St. Anthony's. Superb scenery constructed by Brother Felix and Brother L. Mar-tin helped to add realism to the dramatization. Charley's Aunt is a comedy in which two young college men of the Gay Nineties, Char ley Wykeham (Bill Brademan) ond Jack Ches-ney (Ronnie McKenzie) run into many difficulties with their fiancees when they try to palm off their friend, Sir Francis Baberly (Ronne Campbell) as Charley's rich aunt from Brazil.

This makes it possible for Sir Francis Baberly to quit playing the aunt role. The feminine parts were made up in a double cast, two girls to each part, with casts alternating for various performances. The ladies in the play were-. Mary Louise Hayes and Mary Oys from A.H.A. as Kitty Verdun; Janet Whiting and Marie Hoy of A.H.A. as Amy Spetti-gue,- Margaret Ann Reedy of A.H.A. and Pat Irwin of S.M.A. as Donna Lucia D'Alvadorez (Charley's real aunt); Betty Top—In preparation for the ploy.

The male leads in the cast were: Ronne Campbell as Lord Fancourt Baberly and as Charley's aunt, Ronnie McKenzie as Jack Chesney, Bill Brademan as Charles Wykeham, and Pat Colbert as Stephen Spettigue. Supporting roles were Jim Dutcher as Sir Francis Wykeham, Gregory Waddick as Throckmorton, and Robert Condon as Brassett. One of the most amusing performances was that of Ronne Campbell os the aunt of Charley Wykeham. Art work on the scenery was done by Bill Montague. The stage crew, under the direction of Brother Hubertus Albert, was composed of Bob Ryan, Dale Rol-sing, Martin Marrin, Richard Anderson. Vincent De Lisi, Gerald Piazza, and Donald Gilbert.

Joy Reigns Supreme on Prom Night Saturday, January 31, downed clear and cold, and the waking thought of almost every DE man was, What a night this is gonna be. It was the date of the De La Salle Annual Prom. From early morning a hectic day of preparations began for Mike Merrigon and his decorating committee: Dick Sherry, Jack Williams, Bill Hinton, ond George Pawlik. After a strenuous day of running back and forth for details, all preparations were completed by sunset. At nine o'clock the Columbia Field House took on a new glow os Bud Strawn and his orchestra struck up the first number of our biggest dance of the year. The music was terrific and quite generally slow except for a few stomps at which the hep-cat aggregation from these ports excells. Flash bulbs popped with abandon, and pictures were taken everywhere. Especially excited about having their picture taken were Bob Boyle and Joan Mousseou. Bob, like almost everyone else, has a picture as a remembrance of the Page forty-four dance. Also interested in having a picture taken of themselves and their No Beer sign were Roger Pohl ond George Ford, alumni of '47. The blythe spirit of gaiety rose as the night went on. The high point of the evening was the Grand March. Old troopers at this sort of thing were Pat Kelley with Donnamoe Briscoe, and Joe Stansberry with Donna Miller. The culmination of the march found the crowd gradually diminishing. As twelve bells sounded. Bill Laux and Dorothy Casey insisted on dancing the final number ond being lost to leave. The crowds took off seeking restaurants and open houses. It is rumored that Lorry Weidt and Connie Mattson had o flat tire in front of the Rainbow Cafe. Varied reactions to the Prom were noted on the part of many seniors. Jerry Weber said. I liked the fine location best. The music was really swell, was Jack Loppen's comment. Not all seemed enthusiastic along the some lines. As Bob McGuire put it, The best part was my 'red- head' from Brainerd. Jerry Welnu, however, spoke about the fine poker game at Williams' afterwards. These statements summed it up well, but best of all comments was Don Waddick's: There was no best part; it was all swell. The place in which the dance was held played an important part in making the affair a success. Every one was grateful to the Prom Committee for choosing the Columbia Field House. It was the first time that most of the fellows had seen the place, and they found that it was really a wonderful ballroom. The terrace, which opens on the north end of the dance floor, was a lively place all evening, as Brother Laurence kept opening windows in order to keep the boys dancing and the floor fully occupied. The Top-Entering the Prom are Joe Shoemaker, Monica Smegleski, John Ncerlond, Darlene Griffin Bob Kommer and Shlrloy Siebert.

However, this was due not only to Brother's persistence but also to the crowd's friendly spirit. The Prom was carried on in a very well mannered style, with all the fellows gentlemen and the girls their usual lovely selves. And when it comes to choosing lovely ladies, the taste of Island gentlemen leaves nothing to be desired. All went well that night of January 31, and every one was home early—the next day. The '48 Prom was a thing of happy memory. Page foriy-flvo The member of the 1948 basketball team line up on the hardwood where they created many o tenjc moment!

The pre-conference records was good as DE took 6 and lost only 2 to city high schools. But the conference record was low, the Islonders winning only 7 out of 12 games. Thfl netted them third place and a tournament berth, from which they were early eliminated. The Islanders defeated five out of seven nonconference opponents this year. In the city league De La Salle met Edison, South, Marshall, Vocational, and Patrick Henry, winning three—South, 44 to 43; Marshall, 56 to 50; Patrick Henry, 64 to 41—and dropping two—Edison, 38 to 44, and Vocational, 34 to 38.

DE subdued St. Agnes in a second game, 49 to 25. Although the Aggies showed marked improvement, they were no match for the Islander offensive power. DE 72, 36—ST. CLOUD 46, 35 In a display of top form De La Salle romped over St. Cloud on the Islander floor. The game was downhill all the way, with a halftime score of 21 to 15. In their second encounter DE was given a scare when the Cothedralites came back in the second half to within a point of winning the game. DE 32, 30—BONIFACE 35, 32 Aided by a yearly jinx in their favor, St. Boniface nudged out a 35 to 32 win on their home floor. The Springers took the lead in first quarter and maintained it throughout the entire game. Then came the 13fh—DE again fell before the Bonnies, 32 to 30. Although the Islanders led for the first half, a strong St. Boniface rally killed all hopes of victory. DE 36, 46—ST. JOHN'S 21, 39 De La Salle walloped the Johnnies, 36 to 21, in their game on the Islander floor. The DE men were never behind, boasting a halftime score of 22 to 11. Showing better form than in the first game, the Johnnies pushed hard in their second battle. The Islanders showed a slight edge of 21 to 18 at the half which they increased to 46 to 39 as a final score. Top—Jim Fault.

Their first meeting was on our floor, when the Raiders dropped a 33 to 28 decision. However, Cretin avenged their defeat later in the season, 42 to 26. DE 35, 32----ST. THOMAS 36, 37 Why St. Thomas was rated as the team to beat was discovered when DE, despite a lost half rally which tied the game and sent it into overtime, lost the first game to the Tommies, 36 to 35. In the second contest at the Armory the Islanders' determination was again crushed, 37 to 32.

'B' SQUAD WINS ITS SECOND CHAMPIONSHIP De La Salle is not completely without a 1948 Bosketball Championship. This time it was the little praised B Squad thot won a title, finishing the league race with ten wins and one loss. The B Squad started the season under the guidance of Hank Coulombe, but because of lack of leisure he relinquished his duties, and Dick Reinhart took over the coaching. In the non-conference schedule the Junior Islanders won three and lost two. In conference play the DE Bees first met St. Agnes and dropped them 33 to 13. Following right in line they met and defeated St. Cloud, 32 to 23; St. Boniface, 36 to 26, and St. John's, 28 to 27. The next week De La Salle met Cretin at the Armory and defeated the Raiders, 26 to 12. Then came the downfall os DE suffered their only loss at the hands of the Tommies, 28 to 26. Recovering quickly, the B-squadders took the next four in succession, winning from St. Cloud, 36 to 16; St. Agnes, 28 to 22; St. Boniface, 30 to 19; and St. John's, 24 to 18.

Hockey Comes Back to DE Captained by Dick Sherry Again this year the hockey enthusiasts did their best to put this activity back on its feet at DE. The capable services of a new coach were obtained when Al Jensen, a member of the East Side Men's Senior Hockey Club, was signed. The schedule included gomes with Marshall, South, Roosevelt, Cretin, St. Louis Park, Patrick Henry, and St. Thomas, two of these games being played in the Minneapolis Arena. The team was especially proud of Dick Sherry, coptain and leading scorer. It also boasted two veteran lines in Eddy Bergquist, Mark Sivanich, Dick Sherry, Dick Vos. Will Maccorio, and Chuck Gad-bois. The blue marker jobs were handled most efficiently by Jim Dutcher, Bill Brademan, and Buddy Wochtler, while goalies Fred Cussler and Bill Montague kicked out their share of shots. Equally proficient were John Miller, John Baskfield, and Bob Busch. Outstanding prospects for 1949 are Punky Miller, Hans Reiss, Tom Riley, Bruce Cardinal, John Freund, and Roy Gillis.

Pooe fifty Intramural Play Keeps DE Boys in Trim Winter lunch periods at DE are always enlivened by the intramural basketball. Although these games may get a little fast and the play rather rough, the noon tilts are a delight to spectators packed on the bleachers and in the galleries. In the Freshman-Sophomore division, Fr. 24C pulled out to a quick lead at the beginning of the season and held it all the way. The Junior-Senior bracket saw Mark Sivanich's Sr. 202 make a bold bid for top position to the season's end. In the championship playoffs Sr. 200 won the upper division crown by beating Jr. 206, 24 to 22, in the Finals of a three-game series. Soph. 201 took the crown in the lower division by defeating Fr. 24C, 19 to 14. In the Parish Tournament held immediately after the close of the regular season, the junior title was taken by Annunciation, paced by Chris Flynn, when they defeated Blanchard's St. Stephen's. Senior honors went to St. Clement's, captained by Larry Bornetun, as they rippled the nets to dust off Mac Hurley's St. Anthony's at a 19 to 13 rate. The biggest event was the All Nations Finale. Well sprinkled with Irish and Slobovian quints, the brackets Finally showed only Merrigan's Irish and Bornetun's Germans. Bornetun, aided by his varsity side-kick, Jim Faust, added another laurel to his name by leading the Germans to Final glory, 34 to 19.

Page fifty-three - Everyone is as busy as a spider spinning daydreams, and the rea son is springtime. It is spring, as it has so often been said, when a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of excuses for homework he didn't feel like doing. It is the time when teachers see sitting before them a sad looking bunch of starry-eyed and vaguely discontented fellas whose only wish is to be out enjoying the fair weather. Spring is officially here now, for we see the run on sport jackets and yellow convertibles begun. Right about now, too, we drag out that fly rod from its storage there in the attic and step out onto the back lawn to see if we can nail an imaginary crappie as we limber up the ol' split bamboo. The sunny weather now first cajoles the trees to open their buds to it, and flowers will soon be pushing aside the door of their soil enclosures to bask in the nourishment of its beaming radiance. The world again puts on its nature cosmetics. But even with spring fever infesting every home, our school is still kept jumpin'. The Islander staff keeps up its pencil pushing pace to meet those deadlines, and everyone this year is busy with his project for the Centennial Celebration. The band starts rehearsals for its spring performances. There's a baseball glove or a set of golf clubs in every locker, and our tennis team has begun its workouts on the court. Tryouts for the swimming team are made. Now in this, the third section of our Delta, we put the spotlight on our third year men, the Juniors. coqo fifty-five Bill Foley. pretidenf of the junior clow, pointj out the Council, who ore Frank Griffin, tecretary, Dovo Kennedy, highlights of futuro plans to other members of the Junior treasurer,- and Bob Kosbohm. vice-president. Class of '49 Lays Groundwork for Big Year The junior yeor, supposedly the hardest, was token in stride by our closs of '49. Leaders of the class, with Brother Thomas as advisor, were: Bill Foley, 301, president; Bob Kasbohm, 209, vice-president; Frank Griffin, 301, secretory; and Dave Kennedy, 206, treasurer. These four were elected by the junior council composed of the advisory officers-, from Advisory 301: Bill Foley, president; Frank Griffin, vice-president; Jim Dindorf, secretary; Wally Madden, treasurer; from Advisory 208: Ed Bergquist, president; Don Lamm, vice-president; Bob Bendel, secretary,- John Cleland, treasurer; from Advisory 209: Bob Kasbohm, president; Charles Benda, vice-president; Ray Flannery, secretary; and John Black, treasurer,- from Advisory 206. Dave Kennedy, president; Dennis Murray, vice-president; Leo O'Brien, secretary,- Tom Cassidy, treasurer. The juniors hove the distinction of leading the honor roll for the year. At the same time, juniors comprised about half the regulars on the foams. At mid-year junior editors took over the Islander. The Rose Dance, held at the Plaza Hotel, climaxed a year of enjoyment and success. The progress thot the juniors have made in inaugurating projects and of seeing them through with a minimum of supervision points to a good yeor ahead for the men of '49.

Islander Editors Keep All-American Rating To maintain an All-American rating for the Islander was the task set before the new staff for the '47 '48 term. The responsibility lay mainly upon the able shoulders of the four page editors. Bill Loux was chief editor with the front page. Jack Williams had the feature poge, and Mike Merrigan was in charge of the sports. The back page wos assigned to Junior Jim Dindorf. At mid-year the senior editors shifted their activities to the Delta, resulting in the promotion of new staff editors. Jim Dindorf switched from back to front page editor. Others were selected from the junior journalism class: John Clelond, feature page; Bill Young, sports page; ond Bob Bendel. back pago. The Islander is a member of the National Scholastic Press Association and has been awarded an All-American Honor Rating often in the past years: in '36, '38, '39, '42, '43. '44. and '47. As a reward for the energetic efforts of the '48 staff, the Islander wos oworded another All-Americon rating in April for the first semester issues of this year and also a First Class roting from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association.

Page sixty-eight Resplendent in royal blue Eisenhower jackets, white neck-pieces, and French-gray trousers, the De La Salle Band continues to expand its service by adding music to most of the school activities. The band performed at all the league home basketball games, including the Cretin and St. Thomas tilts at the Minneapolis Armory. It added extra entertainment at the school plays, Charley's Aunt, and All His Triumph. The band performed during the Centennial Exhibit and at the major assemblies during the year, particularly during the pep meetings, the Christmas Assembly, and the Memorial Assembly. Comprising 37 members, the band continues on a military basis, with highest rank for the year held by Lt. Tom Corbett, baritone,- Lt. Jack McGinnis and Lt. Ray Tatro, both drummers. Council Fills Need for Better Assemblies Recognizing the need for an organization that would provide entertainment for the student body. Brother Raymond organized the Assembly Council in the early part of this year. At one of the early meetings officers were elected. Bob McGuire became president; Steve Bell, vice-president; Charles Regan, secretary; and Joseph Mayer, treasurer. In order to finance its assemblies the council decided to collect dues from the students. One of the outstanding shows brought to De La Salle was that of the Silvertones, a Negro sextet. St. Joseph's Academy of St. Paul stoaed a sterling performence of Handel's Messiah in December. About fifty girls were transported to and from DE under arrangements made by the council. The Patroness Society served o luncheon to the girls after their performance. Student talent from St. Mary's College, Winona, came to Minneapolis to put on portions of their variety show, Redmen Revels. Brother Luke, former De La Salle student, directed the presentation. The Assembly Council financed the trip for the thirty men who come. During Holy Week a plaque commemorating DE's wor dead was presented to the school by the ciass of '46 in an inspiring Memoriol Assembly. Other assemblies of the year Included a Fire Prevention presentation, two folks by F.B.I. men, a typing demonstration by world famous speedster, Albert Tangora, and a concert by a Negro quartet.

Red Cross Takes Part in DE Curriculum Tor t e first tire in its history De Lo Salle has I ad an active Red Cross Council. This new group, headed by President Bill Foley, is under the guidance of Brother Paulian. The De La Salle Council, furthering the work sponsored by the Hennepin County Junior Red Cross Chapter, has organized two drives for funds. The first appeal, the annual Red Cross Drive, netted approximately sixty dollars. The second campaign was a little more attractive. It was the Red Cross dance, which produced a profit of twenty-five dollars. Thus, those who attended the dance, at which Ed Bossing's Band ployed, went home pleased with accomplishing a double purpose. At Christmas time the Red Cross Council gave aid to the men at the War Veteran's Hospital. Boys from the shop class made cribbage boards and turned them over to the Red Cross for distribution to a number of the disabled vets. These boards undoubtedly lightened the weary hours of the afflicted men. Also as part of the Christmas activities the Red Cross unit took up a collection to buy Christmas cards to be sent to the hospital, so, in turn, that the patients might send them to their family and friends. A drive wos also made for gift boxes containing tooth brushes, soap, and similar articles to be sent to needy children in Europe. Red Cross activities at DE were brought to a close during a banquet sponsored by the County Chapter at Curtis Hotel on May 20. Bill Foley and Frank Griffin accompanied Brother Paulian as De La Salle's representatives. Poge seventy Coach Leighton Directs Islander Nine Opening the season under the leadership of a new coach, John Leighton, who graduated from DE in 1940, the Islander baseball team blew off the lid with a 12 to 10 victory over Marshall on the home field. The game was a slugfest, with homers by Joe Koppi and Jim Faust. Bob Rostratter pitched for De La Salle. Traveling to Collegeville, the Islanders split a double header with St. John's. In spite of a home run by Joe Koppi in the fifth inning of the First game, DE was unable to top the Johnnies, who won by a 5 to 4 count. In the second game Bob Kasbohm limited St. John's to one hit, to be credited with a victory. Hugh Hoy scored on Blanchard's single to put DE ahead, 1 to 0. In a practice game with Wilson on the Island diamond, DE lost, 6 to 4. Meeting Cretin here on a cold afternoon, the Islanders were swamped by the superior hitting ond tight pitching of Cretin to lose a 10 to 2 decision. De La Salle evened their league standing to two wins and two losses by taking St. Agnes, 6 to 3. Much of the twelve-game schedule played by the Islanders will depend on the pitchers, veterans Bob Ros-fratter and Tom Collins, and on Bob Kasbohm, who pitched for the junior team lost year. Leading hitters are Pat Kelley and Joe Koppi. irn i i irif i'— i i Top — Coach Leighton gives dope to pitchers Kasbohm and Collins. Center — Pat Kelloy has just slugged one out to the torraco.

Page seventy-one DE Netters Hit New Heights in Ambition Tennis is on the upsurge at De La Salle, with Brother Mark, athletic director, taking over active coaching duties. An ambitious schedule has been arranged to parallel that of the baseball team, so that the two squads will travel together to meet opposition from the same school. The net- ters will climax their season at the State Catholic Meet which will be held at Faribault on May 29. At the opening of practice sessions a round robin was devised to determine the order of representation in the matches. As a result of this competition Jack McGinnis placed as number one man, having won 11 sets while dropping none. He is supported in the singles department by John Cleland, who won three of his five sets. George Gleason will play number three singles by virtue of his four wins and three losses. In the same competition the doubles combinations were worked out, which included Tom Godsill, Bill Dolan, Fred Beveridge and Bob Wintheiser. Other members of the team include Bob McGuire, Leo Wolf, Jerry Welna, and Dick Vos. Jack McGinnis, number one singles man, has been playing tennis three years, having gone out for the team in his sophomore year and played first doubles. This year Jock is first man, having beaten everybody in the round robin series. He has a good style, always cutting the angles and never passing by a good chance for a smash; he loves to cut the ball and get opponents excited. Jack consistently plays good ball. De La Salle lost the first match with Cretin, 4 to 1, McGinnis being the only Islander to win his set. The remainder of the season includes matches with Cretin, St. Agnes, St. Thomas. St. Cloud, and St. Thomas. Home games will be played on the University courts. Duluth Cathedral again looms as a pretournament favorite for the State meet.

The fop four men shoot in the low eighties and seventies. Early matches this season showed DE golfers in good form. In the opener DE beat Patrick Henry, 13 to 5, with Tom Cassady playing as first man. In the second match DE lost to North, 9 to 3. Bob Boyle was first man in the North match. Both matches were played at Theodore Wirth, DE's home course. The 1949 golf team includes on the roster the following: Bob Cheslo, Bob Boyle, Chuck Boughfon, Tom Cassady, Tom Young, Bill Kenney, Dick Barrett, John Baskfield, Ted Kondrak, Don Galas, Dick O'Brien, Jim Maloney, Ronald Pratt, Gerald Foss, Dick Cremers, and John Moore. The top four men will represent DE at the Catholic State Meet at Faribault on May 29. The 1948 golf schedule includes, besides the matches with Patrick Henry and North mentioned above, a meet with Blake on May 4; a three-way meet with Cretin and St. Thomas on May 6; a pair of matches with Cretin, one on May 7 and the return match on May 19; a meet with North on May 24; one with University High on May 26; and, finally, the State Meet at Faribault on May 29.

Islander Merman Complete Second Season Fred Proell displays the form which has won him several Aqualennia! medals and too place in the state meet in the breaststroke class. Some people go swimming to acquire a suntan, but DE's team swam strictly for business. The tankers were coached by Jerry Elliot, who succeeded Brother Roger after the latter's transfer to St. Joseph, Missouri. Elliot led his mermen to victories over South, Cretin, and University High, but he lost to his alma mater, St. Thomas. DE's swimming team wound up the season by placing fifth in the State meet, which was held at Cooke Hall at the University of Minnesota. The team consisted of Bob Kasbohm and Ronnie Meyer in the 220 class,- Ernie Dorn and Captain Jim Bonin, divers,- Fred Proell and Don Lamm, breaststroke; Ed Bonin, backstroke; Stanley Marrs and Jim Tice in 40 and 50-yard dash, respectively,- and Denny Murray and Ray Lalliberte, who swam in the medley and relay events. Coach Elliot looks for a greatly improved squad next year, as Captain Jim Bonin alone will be lost to the team by graduation.

At the left Tom Godsill, Mike McDougall, Bill Kenney, Pat Colbert, and Ronnie Schendel show one way of doing this. However, (upper right), some people believe in faking their spring fever straight: Ted Kondrak, Mark Siva-nich, and Paul Kazek find a warm spot neor the far goal posts for meditation.

It is realizing that we are on the very brink of vacation time that we sit gazing, chin in hands, through the open window dreaming of the fun we'll have after we've endured these last few days of bondage and are enjoying our Summer vacation. As a result of the sun's relentless urging we find the guys just takin' it easy sitting around the record player in Red's basement, lappin' up some Tex Beneke classics and sippin' cokes or verbally replaying yesterday's Millers' game. Then, too, others escaping the sun's friendly oppression pile a bunch of the guys into Mac's Model A and roar out to the beach for a quick dip. And when Dad is fortunate enough to get a Friday off, the family hurries to the lake for a delightful three day week-end at the cottage. In school things are gradually coming to a grinding halt. The Delta material has been packed off to the printers and we steadily approach that great day when the doors here swing in but one direction—out. For some of us this leaving of home will be but for a short time after which we will again return to bestow upon the faculty the blessing of our keep. For others of us, however, the feeling will be one of both joy and melancholy for the Seniors will have finished their fourth and last season of High School.

Class of '48 Displays Real Leadership Our senior department this year has been the nucleus of many varied school activities. This wide scope of accomplishments saw its first beginnings in an ambitious junior class last year, when they set the precedent for the school in organizing a council system which is now used in all four departments. The seniors have also revived an old tradition—that of presenting a gift to the school at graduation. They decided on having a new, larger trophy case built in the main corridor, a project accomplished last summer under the direction of Brother Roger, last year's Junior Advisor. Heading the senior department is Michael Merrigan, who was elected president by the senior council last fall. Capably assisting Mike in official capacity are Dick Sherry, vice-president; Pat Kelley, secretary; and Doug Keefe, treasurer. These four, together with the other twelve members of the council, have met regularly to plan most of the department's undertakings. On January 31 at the Columbia Fieldhouse, the Seniors sponsored the De La Salle Prom, highlight of the social functions during the year. May 14 was the date for another memorable occasion—the Senior Commencement Dance held at the Leamington Ballroom.

The Senior Council has been the deciding body on oil issues, having made arrangements for the School Prom, ond for the Senior Commencement Dance. It was the Council which voted Mike Merrigan class president and which chose the seven seniors to represent De La Salle in the Pepsi-Cola Scholarship Exams. Comprising the Council are the four officers elected from each room: Advisory 200—Bill Laux, Duane Vo Pava, Jim Faust, and Ted Kondrak; Advisory 202—Mike Merrigan, Pot Kelley, Lorry Peterson, and Bill Hinton,- Advisory 203—Dick Dargis, Al Crosson, Bernie Parrette, and Doug Keefe,- Advisory 300—Gerry Bailey, Chuck Gadbois, Dick Sherry, and Jack Williams. The idea for the presentation of a new trophy case came to life last year through the junior officers—Bill Laux, George Pawlik, and Ray Gilligan. Page nincty-lix Intellectuals Receive Recognition De Lo Salle Honor Student! This is o title much sought after but rarely attained. It is an honor that must be worked for during a whole school year. To become an honor student it is necessary to be on the three week honor roll nine or more times. Twenty-nine DE students have achieved this goal; of these, the ambitious freshman department boasts the greatest number, having placed 11 members on the roll for 1948. In a close second place are the juniors with 10, followed by the seniors with 5, and the sophomores with 3. In percentages, the Juniors led by placing 7.1 per cent on the honor student list. The freshmen were second with 5.2, followed by the seniors with 3.8, and the sophomores with 1.7. First among this group are the students who have never missed the honor roll this year. These are: Seniors Bernard Parrette and Patrick Toland, each with a total of 44 A's,- and Harold Slomske with 39; Juniors—Francis Griffin, a six subject man, with 57; James Dindorf with 52; William Foley with 46; and Robert Bendel with 43. Sophomores—Hons Reiss with 40; and Freshmen— James Polzak with 48; Robert Bublitz, Thomas Connolly, and John McKenna with 43; and Hugo Wolf with 31. Following closely in the footsteps of these precocious fellows are those who have been ten times on the honor roll: Juniors—Robert Burns with 38 A's,- Leo Kennedy with 35; David Benner with 32; Sophomores—Thomas Corbett with 40; Freshmen—Dennis Brandstetter with 35; Daniel Casey and Richard Maclnnes with 34. And last come those who succeeded in listing exactly nine honor rolls to their credit. These are: Seniors—Thomas Hawn with 42 A's; and Ronald Schendel with 33; Juniors—John Cleland with 35; James Brytowski with 29; Sophomores—Richard Perzel with 37; Freshmen—Lawrence Liddiard with 39; Donald Marystone with 36; and George Flynn with 31.

Page ninety-ieven Cooperation Is Keynote of 48 Delta With the ossuronce by October 1 that the student body would finance the '48 Delta, the yearbook staff organized on a basis of extensive co-operation. The thirty-three members of the class studying Journalism II gained experience In virtually all phases of yearbook production. After the subject of a theme had been discussed and written about for several weeks, it was finally decided by vote to arrange the book in the order of seasons, rather than in the more or less artificial traditional breakup. The class also decided to highlight the seasonal theme through the use of shoes. This theme is carried out in the photograph introducing each section. While these decisions were being made, the business start was busy with money matters. The difficult work of securing advertisements was cleared off the boards by October 15. Enough subscriptions were secured through the co-opera-ion of the entire student body to guarantee the financing of the '48 Delta. Financial management was done capably by Chuck Gadbois and his assistants, Dick Vos and Bob Bendel. Shortly after the first of the year they also completed the ad section in its final page form. When work began on the distribution of material through the book, it was decided to place the album groups into departments, each department being represented in one of the four seasons. Faculty members, too, were placed within the department Top—Section editors of the yearbook ponder various problems: Bernard Parrette. editor of summer section; larry Petorson, autumn; Lester Davis, winter; Jim Kinnane, spring. Bottom-Layout men are busily en-arossed in making things fit: At the table are Don Poider. Jock Lappon, Jerry Weber, Dick Shaw. Dick Nagel, and Tom Godsill.

Instead of being shown in formal poses, they are presented as seen by their students every day. Class work for the first few months consisted largely of the study of modern layouts. Art principles were learned and then applied to yearbook structure. Modern advertising was found particularly helpful in building up a sense of balance and good taste. Then began the long struggle with pictures. Every boy and every Brother was photographed, individually and in groups. Bill Montague began his excellent art work at the same time, designing the cover and the end sheets, the sketches at the beginning of each section, and the charts appearing in the book. During the Christmas holidays the album sections were completed, Larry Peterson's freshmen being put in their places on New Year's Day, to the accompanying struggle of several Bowl game broadcasts. Once the proofs began to come back from the printer and the engraver, pasteups and proof-reading on the first sections accompanied copy writing and layout work on the later sections. For this work the class was broken up into individuals or groups, depending on the nature of the work to be done. During the lulls of actual work on the book, constant assignments of readings in English literature and exercises in vocabulary continued to loom in the background. There were periods of peace, but there were also hours of energetic labor. Nevertheless, it was all interesting. Top-Copy won at work ore (reodirg to front). John Baskf.eld, Jock Wil I.arm.

The evening, highlighted by Bill West's music and the brilliancy of the main ballroom in the Hotel Leamington, can be termed a huge success. The fact that this was the last dance at DE was the only note of sadness at the affair, but laughter and joy were still predominant. After the dance there were the various little get togethers, and, as the night wore on and morn drew nigh, it was with happy hearts that all trudged home.

Graduates Honored for Scholastic Talents Learning, like virtue has its own reward. Sometimes, however, it brings other rewards to some fortunate few. Highest ranking scholor of the graduating class is Bernard Parrefte, who has an average of 3.893 for three and a half years. In virtue of his standing Parrette automatically became valedictorian, as also the recipient of two other awards. The first is the Bausch Lomb Award given to the highest science student of each school. The second is the Scholarship Award of State Council of Minnesota Colleges to the highest ranking graduate of 1948. It carries with it tuition for the second semester of the freshman year in college. The highest award offered in the school for all around achievement is the Star Journal Award given to the senior who was outstanding not only for scholarship but also for leadership and service. The award this year went to Mike Merrigon, president of the senior closs. Besides doing outstanding work as official leader of his closs, Mike had been an editor of the Islander for two years and a member of the Delta staff. During his four years he had served on various committees and took on active interest in sports and other school activities. Gold keys were pre:enfed to the four leading students in the class, including Porrette, Gilligon, who had on overage of 3.678; Harold Slomske. who scored 3.571; and Patrick Tolond, whose four-year mark was 3.465.

With a bit more of reportorial shutter snapping, he would have seen (upper right) what happens to all the good notes taken during the course of a year. On the bridge are Joe White, Art Langlais, Don Feider, Gene Brownrigg, Fred Proell (who seems intent on rescuing the precious manuscripts), Dick Fitzgerald, two characters camouflaged in boom- eranging papers, Jim Kinnane, Jerry Welch, and, undoubtedly, one of the boys. After everything's done, most fellows � ake a streetcar home from school (lower left), for DE men come from all parts of the city and from most of the suburbs, including Robbindsdale, Edina, Hopkins, Golden Valley, St. Louis Park, Columbia Heights, Anoka, and points west. Finally, after all the noise and excitement is over, the Island settles down for a bit of peace and quiet. And Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' along.
