Bernard, who is filling out his third yoor os director of De Lo Salle. Brother come to DE in August. 1946. Brother Bernard is the hardest man to contact in the entire school. He can be seen in the morning grilling the absentees or writing on the bulletin board. From then on he always seems to be elsewhere. If he's not in the office, he's in the corridor directing traffic, or maybe in the lunchroom. Possibly he's even teaching class or ghosting one. Yes, a student will have trouble locating him — unless, of course. Brother is looking for him. For instance, when he delivers the report cards personally, he usually has a few words for some individuals. Or if some fellows were smoking on the island, he'll see them. Brother Bernard has worked hard this year trying to imbed the idea of scholasticism and punctuality into the students. Mr. Thompson is another busy person in the school. However, his duties confine him to the office. Included in his daily duties are the school bookkeeping, receiving tuitions, posting and paying bills, and the like. It is hardly necessary to mention the fact that he is also in charge of the lost and found nursery. Mr. Thompson has become part of the school atmosphere; every student knows him. He would surely be missed if he were not with us. Perhops some student has wondered who it was that called home when the absentee cards were sent to the office. In case there is any doubt, it was Mrs. Anderson. She is the official school secretary. After she types out the bulletin as dictated, usually by Brother Laurence, she proceeds to mimeograph copies for all the rooms. When she has finished her early morning chores, Mrs. Anderson occupies herself with various other jobs, among which are taking care of alumni correspondence, typing out the report cards, filling out credit sheets, and supplying various colleges with Pogo eight data on the seniors. Although she is the least conspicuous of the office staff, she is an important member in all its functions. Consider now the one peaceful sanctuary here at DE, the library. It is doubtful that there is o student that has never been in it. It contains all the material necessary to satiate any literary taste. In round figures there are 5,000 books in the library. About 500 of them are technical non-circulating books. In the line of magazines there are about 20 subscriptions. Some of the bound volumes date as far back as five years. There are in addition five different newspapers. Many new books are added each year. About one dollar is spent annually for every boy in the school, part of the activity fee going to the upkeep of the library. Some of the books and magazines are contributed to the school. In proportion to the size of the school, the library is one of the finest in the area. Top Getting the word from Brother Bernard this morning ore Frank Elloring, Francis Hehir and Jim Elliot os he puts his morning message on the boord. This is the customary greeting for all the boys from Brother Bernard at 8:15 every morning. Second from top—Mrs. Anderson, the school secrotary, is operating the mirr.ecgraph machino while the always reliable Jim Kondrick holps by getting the slip sheets ready. This is a much repeated exercise during the day for Mrs. Anderson, as the mimeograph is in almost constant use. Third from top—Mr. L. J.

Jim Whalen, and Charles Gagnon. In charge of the library is Brother Louis, who has held the post for the last six years. Brother is at the service of every boy in the school, and he will go out of his way to do some student a favor. As librarian he takes great pride in his library. He decorates the walls with posters, pictures, signs, and in general keeps up an interesting atmosphere. The library, besides being of scholastic service to the school, provides a convenient haven from the rigors of regular study periods.

Freshmen Get Early Start in Activities Brother Hermes Albert, who is o familiar figure at De La Salle, is the department moderator. Brother Albert teaches Latin and instills into the minds of his pupils an undying appreciation for the deeds of J. Caesar, as well as enlightening his students in Algebra I. He is athletic director this year too. Brother's merchandising skill is proved by his efficient management of the bookstore. Brother Fabian is in his second year at DE. In 1947 he taught at Winona Cotter, but fate dealt him a cruel blow, and he was sent to De La Salle to teach freshman religion and civics. One of his extracurricular duties is taking care of the Apostleship of Prayer charts for the whole school. Brother Adrian taught at St. Louis, Missouri, last year. His duties at DE include teaching freshman religion, senior bookkeeping, economics, ond business law. Brother Adrian also is sacristan. Brother I. Bernard, who came to our Island paradise this year, taught at Memphis, Tennessee, last year. He teaches freshman religion, junior physics and Algebra II. His biggest trial at DE is being taken for the wrong Brother by namesake. Brother Felix' duties at DE keep him busy teaching freshman religion, woodshop for frosh and sophomores, junior and senior mechanical drawing, and modern history. He is vocational moderator and sponsor of the Glencoe Club, besides being in charge of the school maintenance. At the left are odvitora Brother Adrian, Adv. 24C; and Brother I. Bernard, Adv. 207. Page twelve This year marks the second time in Island history that the freshman class has been organized on a department basis. The system was inaugurated in October when a council made up of freshman advisory officers elected Greg Hadley to act os president of the freshman class. Other departmental officers are Tom McGinty, vice-president; Bob Peller, secretary; and Dick Hakanson, treasurer. Council members include: John Butfell, Ray Schanhaar, and Firmin Janski of 307; Ken Wojack, Jim Waugh, and Jack Scholz of 207; John Kroening, John Lang, Ronald Wallerius, and Dick Ogren of 10C; John Mars-zalek and George O'Brien of 23C; and Fred Sheridan, Dean Schrempp, Jim Amireault, and Bill Hayes of 24C. Under the supervision of Brother Albert, the class took up dues for many social activities. The first activity sponsored by the freshmen under their new department officers was a bunco party held here in the auditorium with refreshments served in the cafeteria. Shortly after this, the council sponsored an exclusively freshman dance here at school which was attended by about 10C couples. A basketball league was also established for freshmen teams. The boys played their games on Soturdoy mornings throughout the winter. John Schable's team won the title with a record of 9-0, while right behind them came Paul Reifen-berger's team boosting a 7-2 count. The other teams finished in the following order. Patrick Doyle's, Patrick Devery's, and Jerome Noack's tied for third with 6-3 records; Richord Auld's, with 5-4; and the teams of Eugene Norton, Thomas Kenny, and Richard Benson, in a last place deadlock with 1-8 counts. It is with pleosure that we leave you this industrious group of freshmen, for an active freshman class is an excellent indication of good things to come.

This is the procedure every Monday, while on Tuesday the boys report on newspaper articles out of the American Observer. This keeps the work week well organized for the boys, as they always know what to expect and how to prepare for it. They pay for the newspaper themselves at the beginning of the year.

With this truth as the keynote, the annual retreat took ploce in November under the direction of Father Walter Kaelin, C.P. Believing that if a person wants always to be happy he must always be good, Father Kaelin undertook to show how one can stay good and still have a good time. As a means of doing this, he tried to make men realize their dignity as creatures of God, and realizing it, to try to keep and develop this dignity. Subjects of the lectures given by Father Kaelin were.- Appreciating Your Dignity, the opening address; Spoiling Your Dignity. sin; Regaining Your Dignify, Confession; Preserving Your Dignity the Ten Commandments; Living According to Your Dignity, purity; and Enhancing Your Dignity, Holy Communion. DE men were welcome to talk over their special problems in pri-va'e with the retreat master, for, as Father Kaelin says, Personal conferences are encouraged, because these may be the only way of helping an individual in some problem. According to Father, retreat work is his favorite occupation as a priest. He fries to put himself in the place of the students and realize the questions they would like to have answered. Father Kaelin's opinion of the retreat was very favorable, as he said that the boys he had spoken to were very straight-forward, and thof the attention at the talks was exceptional. The retreat ended with Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament and the Papal Blessing given by Father Kaelin.

Since his ordination six years ago, Father Walter Kaelin has devoted himself to giving retreats and missions all over the Midwest and South-Central States. His order, founded by St. Paul of the Cross in 1720, is a combination of the life of solitude, prayer, penance, and poverty as practiced by monks, and the apostolic work of preachers and missionaries everywhere. Passionists are now found throughout the world, continuing the work of their Saintly founder. Homecoming Made Gay By Assembly and Dance Despite Gridders' Defeat Although De Lo Salle was beaten by St. John's, Homecoming turned out to be a big success. It was officially opened at the Homecoming Assembly held on the Friday night before the game. Highlighting the assembly was a comedy skit put on by senior members of the football team, including Don Jaeger, Denny Murray, Steve Bell, Bob Kasbohm and Frank Barber. Paul Jaeger served as announcer for the mock football game held on the stage. Next on the assembly was Mickey Rourke, freshman soprano, who song Too-Ra-loo-Rah, and, encouraged by yells of encore, also sang Danny Boy and MacNamara's Band. The assembly was then concluded after a chorus of cheers, and the band ployed the school song as the students filed out. The hard-fought St. John's game, which DE lost 20 to 13, was followed by a spaghetti dinner in the cafeteria, attended by 200 people. Tne dinner was sponsored by the Alumni Association and put on by the Graziano brothers of the Casino Cafe. After dinner a bingo party was held in the school auditorium. The climax of the celebration was the dance held at 8:30 Sunday night at the Northside Legion Hall, which was artistically decorated by Denny Murray, Bill Foley, John Black, Bob Burns and Bob Kasbohm the morning before the dance. The Hall has adequate dancing space downstairs and a very nice coke bar and lounge upstairs that was opened to the 315 students and their dates. The music was furnished by Bud Strawn's orchestra.

DE's Gridiron Warriors Retain Crown For the third consecutive year, the Islander gridiron warriors captured the Central Catholic Conference crown, under the coaching of Dick Reinhart and Fay Frawley. This is Mr. Reinhart's third chompionshio team in the four years he has been leading the squad. Mr. Frawley has been helping out the pas three years and his coaching ability can readily be seen. During the season the coaches turned out three All-Conference men, one of them attaining All-State honors. Dave Kennedy, First string guard for two years and captain during the past season, was the All-State man. All-Conference men were Denny Mur- left—Coaches Dick Reinhart and Fay Frawley jtudy a new play.

Murray has played for two years in the backfield and is one of the fastest ball carriers to graduate from De La Salle. The third man, McGinty, has also ployed on the first team for two years, but being a junior, he has another year of competition left. Don, who in his first year played center, was changed last fall to an end by Coach Reinhart because of the shortage of good ends. Taking McGinty's place at center was Dick Boemer, a junior.

Islander non-conference games were impressive, but the squad lacked the uniformity of a conference champion. DE dropped games to St. Paul Johnson and Rob-binsdale before beating Blake in pre-season contests. In the Johnson game, which De La Salle lost 20 to 13, DE marched 85 yards for the first touchdown, with Denny Murray scoring on a reverse. Murray and Dick Roedel led to the score with a variety of running plays. Johnson, however, wasted no time in tying the score, and in going ahead by converting the extra point. Their drive was highlighted by two long passes. The Johnnies scored two more touchdowns before the Islanders could get another marker in the fourth quarter, on runs by Murray again, with Dave Kennedy kicking the extra point. DE lost their second game of the season to the Rob-binsdale Lake Conference co-champs in a 13 to 6 thriller. At the half the Robins led 6 to 0 after intercepting an Islander pass and throwing one of their own good for 25 yards. In the third quarter Robbinsdale scored again on a 40-yard pass from Pete Hayek to Hamie Nelson, together with a 17-yard run by Hayek. At this point the Islanders took over with Lane Pro-vencher blocking a punt on the Robin 35-yard line. Dick Roedel then threw a pass to Don McGinty, who dropped it, but Dick Perzel was there to recover it for DE's only touchdown. De La Salle next went into action against Blake and trounced them 32 to 12, under the lead of Steve Bell. DE scored early in the first quarter, when, after intercepting a pass. Bell and Murray carried the boll to the one, with Bell scoring. Soon after. Bell and Murray moved the ball up to the Blake seven with Bell again scoring, putting the Islanders ahead 13 to 0. Blake tried to make it a tough game by connecting for two long passes and a touchdown, but on their kickoff Bell raced 75 yards for another DE marker. Kennedy made good his second extra point. In the last half Bell racked up his fourth marker, and Hans Reiss passed to Bud Blanchard for the final score.

Right-On the bottom of the ahead is Denny Murray os he racks up a long gain In the pile but scoring the touchdown is Don Jaeger, DE fullback. Meeting archrival Cretin in the opening conference game, De La Salle scored win number one on its way to the championship by beating the Raiders, 14 to 7. Cretin moved into a 7 to 0 lead at the half after Ted McQuillan scored from the one-foot line. The touchdown ploy was set up by a Raider march from the Islander 30, with Jake Mauer doing the damage. It took DE but five plays of the third period to tie the score. Steve Bell carried the ball to the Cretin 33, and then Denny Murray took the pigskin on a double reverse and carried it to paydirt. In the final quarter, after Dave Kennedy recovered a Raider fumble on their 40, Murray raced for his second touchdown of the afternoon. Buddy Blanchard made good his conversion. In the closing minutes of the game Mauer carried the ball 58 yards only to be stopped and held for four plays on the Islander six-inch marker by an iron man line. DE then took over as the game ended 14 to 7 in their favor. In action next against St. Cloud, DE won another close game 13 to 7 on the losers' home grounds. The Islanders, using a double reverse, spun to their first touchdown on two runs of 25 and 55 yards by Steve Bell. In the second quarter DE again scored after Don Jaeger intercepted a St. Cloud pass on the 50-yard line. This gave them a 13 to 0 lead which was nothing too much, because St. Cloud seemed to be a different team during the second half. Bob Rader intercepted an Islander pass and raced 75 yards for the only Cathedrolite tally, but they threatened for the rest of the game. A sad homecoming game it was for De La Salle fans os St. John's dumped DE, 20 to 13. The Islanders were first to score when Bell plunged over from the six, after a series of runs and passes. DE soon scored again on o pass from Bell to Blanchord, who was waiting in the end zone. St. John's then took over and scored three | touchdowns. This not only caused DE to lose the game but also cost the Islanders undisputed possession of first place in tho conference. Tipping St. Thomas 31 to 13 gave De La Sallo its third conference title in as many years, although they shared it with St. John's and Cretin. Page fweny-nine A brilliant Islander running attack is what led to the victory. Steve Boll ran for two of the touchdowns, while Dick Roedel passed to Don McGinty for another. Another score wos a line buck by Don Jaeger, but the most spectacular tally was made by Murray on a 48-yard run.

Pago thirty B-Gridders Complete Season With Four Wins, One Loss The New Look in B-football appeared on the gridiron this year as the Junior Islanders finished a successful season with a record of four wins, one loss and one tie. After winning all three of the non-conference games played, the Bees opened the regular season with great hopes. A loss to St. Thomas was the only defeat of the year. A case of tightened nerves was the main cause for the B-$quad's coming out on the short end of the 12 to 7 score. The Cretin game also started out bad. Yet, in the second half the Bees' defense started to click. If came to a climax with only 22 seconds left in the game. Rugged tackling caused a fumble on Cretin's 20-yard line. DE then pushed over a T.D. to win by the narrow margin of 6 to 0. Brain trust for the Bees this year was composed of Jerry Elliot and Mike Karbo. Both coaches are attending St. Thomas Collego.

Sophomore Council Shows Enthusiasm Tbe wealth of soph activities, both scholastic and extra-curricular, clearly illustrates the vigor and enthusiasm which hove characterized this year's sophomore class, brother Paulian of room 209, whose picture appears on this page olong with those of the other soph advisors, is moderator of the department. Teaching sophomore Religion and biology in room 304 is brother Robert, who also serves as photographic advisor to the Islander and Delta staffs, his instruction including darkroom work. Besides being the head of the sophomore department, Brother Poulion has other duties in teaching sophomore Religion and junior English, and acting as advisor to the Red Cross Council. Brother Martin of 306 taught sophomore Religion and English and had the additional duty of being athletic moderator during the first semester of this year. He was called away at the half-year mark to teach at Christian Brothers College in Memphis. Brother Raymond from Cretin took over the post vacated by Brother Martin through his departure. A first-year man at DE but already very well-known throughout the school is Brother Timothy of Advisory 200. He teaches sophomore Religion, modern history, and sociology. Brother Gilbert of room 208 teaches sophomore Religion, freshman English, and speech. His other duties include supervision of the assembly council, the cheerleaders, and intramurols.

Second row—Hugh Hoy, Probably the most important, far reaching single act of the school year for the sophs was the election of a department council with Jared Fer-rel serving as president, Hugo Wolf as vice-president, and Dan Casey and Joe Mayer holding positions of secretary and treasurer, respectively. All four of these boys are from Advisory 306. Other members of the council are: Robert Gormley, Jack Carmody, John Wahl, and Tom Strauss from 304; Stan Hanson, Jim McCord, Julius Bonello, and Chris Flynn from 200; Tom Kelly, John Lavelle, Jim Donohue, and Tom McAloon from 208; Jerome Ells, Hugh Hoy, Jerome Binko, and John Sexton from 209. Foremost among the extra-curricular projects of the sophomores was a class bunco party conducted on November 24 in the De La Salle auditorium. The party, which was held under the direction of the class officers, was open only to students of the sophomore department. Free cokes and home-made cakes baked by the mothers of the second-year men constituted the the refreshments served. A soph-sponsored disc dance held immediately after the Edison basketball game on December 17 proved to be another success. Records were furnished by the respective advisories, with Robert Gormley, John Carmody, Tom Strauu, John Wahl. Front row—Julius Bonello, John Sexton, Joseph Mayer, Hugo Wolf, Dan Casey. the proceeds going to the sophomore treasury. This will help them pay for rings and yearbooks in their senior year and also help to present a memorial to the school when they graduate. De La Salle's ambitious sophs were not satisfied with merely one class party, however. In January they sponsored a get-together in fho De La Salle gymnosium, which included a talent show featuring various men in their department. These sterling displays of amateur skill included an archery exhibition, a one-man magic show, and a musical recital. Refreshments were served to entertainers and audience alike when the acts were completed. Another activity conducted by these fellows was a double-elimination basketball tournament held in the Island gym. Each advisory was entered in the tourney, with Brother Paulian's 209 finally ending on top. Scholastically the sophomores entered two competitions: a poster contest sponsored by the National Wildlife organization and an essay contest on conservation of natural resources. With their natural enthusiasm and with an outstanding staff of Brothers to guide them, next year's juniors make the future look bright for the school on the island.

However, the lack of height on the team began to take its toll, and DE dropped enough conference games to finish in fifth place. The title was won by St. Thomas, who didn't lose a game, with Cretin being next, losing only two games, both to the Tommies. St. Thomas went on to win the State Tournament after eliminating the Islanders in the first round in a tough game. The Toms won 59 to 46. The Islanders achieved an honor, however, when the junior Tom Faust was named to the All-State team. Tom followed in his brother Jim's footsteps, who also was All-State. In non-conference tilts DE dropped only two gomes, one to Winona Cotter, 34 to 33, and one to Minneapolis Marshall. The Islanders avenged their loss to Cotter by beating them 61 to 39, when the Ramblers come to Minneapolis. De La Salle played the best game of the season when they turned back Vocational 38 to 30 then at their peak in the city league.

The initial game of the season for the DE men was a heartbreaker which they lost at Winona Cotter 34 to 33.

Jerry Noack does a cartwheel and Tom Kelly a flip, while Charles Mackey holps from tho floor. Srhoke, gathered 17 points to edge out the Islanders. Faust was high the losers with 13 points. The following night the Islanders absorbed their second and last defeat of the non-conference seoson as they were downed by Minneapolis Marshall 38 to 35. The game was nip and tuck all the way to the fourth quarter, when Marshall gained a slight advantage and managed to stall out the game. Faust hit for 12 points for DE while Gustafson led the winners with 13 points. Soon the tide changed, however, as the Islanders started with Washburn to run up a seven game win streak. This was another close game, but this time the final gun sounded with De La Salle on the long end of the score, 48 to 46. This was probably Tom Faust's best gome of the year as he netted 19 points to pace the Islanders to victory. Because of a mix-up of dates, St. Paul Johnson substituted for Patrick Henry, only to bow 40 to 38 in a well played contest in the Islanders' gym. Corbo led the losers with 16 points, while Kam-merer and Faust gathered 12 and 11 points, respectively. The Roosevelt game was their third two-point victory in a row as the DE men downed the Teddies 36 to 34. Kammerer and Faust again led the Islanders in scoring, while Bob Nelson gathered 10 points for the losers. One of the biggest players in city league history to perform in the De La Salle gym was 6-9 Bob Petersen of Vocational, who invaded the Island only to lose 38 to 30. Dick Roedel led the winners with 14 points, while Petersen scored 21 for the Volts. In the next next game the Islanders cleared the bench as they easily tripped Edison 45 to 34. DE led all the way. Tom Kammerer had an exceptionally hot night with 20 points. Avenging the opening game of the season, the Islanders, sparked by Tom Faust and Tom Kammerer, who netted 13 and 12 points, respectively, trounced Cotter 61 to 39. The Ramblers put up a hard fight, but the home floor advantage and consistency of ploy were too much to match. The following game saw only one regular in action for De La Salle, as they overcame the South High Subs 29 to 24. The game was unusual in that both coaches agreed to use their second teams for virtually the entire game. The arrangement was intended for the benefit of the substitutes, as well as for that of scouts in the stands.

Rugged basketball became the keynote of the evening, with much hectic shooting by the subs of both teams. The game was close all the way, and saw only Wally Madden, who played in the lost seconds, from the Islander first five. Another breeze for DE men was the second Roosevelt game which the Islanders won easily 34 to 26. The scoring was well divided, Tom Kammerer leading the pack with 12 markers. The last non-conference game of the season was a thriller which DE pulled out of the fire in the closing seconds, 44 to 43. This game was played at the University Field House as the preliminary to the Minnesota-Purdue tilt. This game brought the end to the non-conference schedule, counting nine victories and but two defeats. In League play De La Salle finished fifth with a record of five wins and seven losses in the conference and won a berth in the State Tournament where, however, they were quickly eliminated. After a fine showing in practice games DE lost its opening conference game at St. Cloud 37 to 35. The Islanders got even in the second engagement by dumping the Cathedralites 44 to 35 on their home court, with Roedel and Kammerer connecting for 13 and 12 points, respectively.

DE squad played well in two St. Agnes games for o pair of wins. In St. Paul the game went 40 to 32, with De La Salle showing fine defensive power. The second game was a wild battle, 56 to 30. Roedel and Kammerer again led the scoring with 14 points each. Twice again this season the Cold Springers turned hot in handing the Islanders a pair of losses. The Bonnies at DE took the lead in the initial period and held out for a 21 to 14 lead and a 38 to 31 final. Acting os host, they dropped DE a second time, 46 to 40. De la Salle pulled a grand slam against the Johnnies by trouncing them twice, the margins being 44 to 17 and 55 to 27. The first battle displayed the finest bit of defensive power all season ot St. John's. At home Tommy Faust, the Johnnies' veteran of last year, led the Islander scoring with 14. St. Thomas from beginning to end was the team to beat, but they just never were matched this season. In the first meeting at the Armory DE lost a well fought battle to a much taller team, the best scare St. Thomas had all season with a score of 45 to 38. The second game was only history with the Islanders suffering the worst defeat in years, 48 to 29, at O'Shaughnessy Hall. When the final whistle blew on the conference schedule, DE had lost a pair of well fought games to Cretin. In the first crucial battle it was 38 to 36 at the Armory. The last conference game at Cretin was a good game until the last period when Cretin got hot and crushed the Islanders 34 to 25. Page fifty-two B-Squad Finishes Second With 5-2 Record Winning 18 out of 22 games, the De La Salle B-Squad finished the season in glory but had to concede the championship to Cretin because of a better percentage. After an opening loss to Marshall, 32 to 27, the junior Islanders took the next three games in a row. In the 37 to 22 win over Washburn, Chris Flynn tallied 17 points for the best game turned in this season by a B-Squad boy. Closest game and hardest fought of the year was the St. Thomas game on their home floor. It took the Bees an overtime period to edge out the Tommies 25 to 24. Two conference losses were handed to the Bees, one by St. John's and the other by Cretin. The St. John's game at Collegeville was a nip and tuck battle up to the closing minutes when the Johnnies finally pulled ahead to win 20 to 14. The Cretin game was a runaway for the Raiders, with the Junior Islanders scoring only two free throws in the second half. Only two setbacks marred the pre-season record. These were losses to Marshall and the A-Squad reserves. Marshall overcame a 21 to 16 advantage at the third period to take the game 32 to 27. In the game with the reserves the B-Squad put up a good struggle but were beaten by the shooting of Tom Cassidy and Dick Flynn. The Bees then finished off the season without another loss. In their six straight wins, they downed St. John's, St. Thomas, St. Cloud, St. Agnes, Sr Boniface, and Cretin.

Page fifty-threo Volleyball Bounces into Noon Games Volleyball was introduced at DE chiefly to give the fellows a little variation from basketball during the winter intramurals, but it turned out to be the surprise success of the year. The spectators loved it. There were thrills and laughs galore. When the game started, many of the boys were rusty—that is, those who had played before—and so were rather awkward. After a few games however, arms and legs became limber and the game became recognizable —after that only rarely did the players return the ball with their heads. The season was a short one. Only seven or eight games were played by each team. The supporters of this game contend, however, that the short schedule was caused mainly by the fact that the attraction was pulling too many students away from their noon studies in the library. Attendance was always highest when the poorer teams played. They always did the unexpected, and often with their dizzy antics they made the better teams look very sad indeed. For the junior division championship the freshmen from Adv. 207 outlasted the sophs from 209 in a tough overtime game by the score of 27 to 24. Booby prize was awarded to Fr. 10C. In the senior division, Jr. 201 came out on top by knocking off Sr. 300 by the score of 20 to 15. Jr. 301 was at the bottom of the barrel In the senior class with zero wins and eight losses.

From 8:30 to 12:30, under the guidance of Brother Albert, ninety players from DE and the various grade schools displayed their best basketball in a close, tough league. Despite the intense competition, the team captained by John Schable came through unscathed to capture the championship with nine wins and no losses. Paul Reifenberger's squad was second with a record of 7 and 2. Three teams, Pot Doyle's, Pat Devery's and Jerry Noack's, each won six and lost three to tie for third.

Pago sixty Highlight of the junior year was the third annual Rose Dance held for the first time in the school gym. The reason for not hiring an outside hall was to forestall the financial loss usually taken by the sponsoring juniors in the preceding years.

Islander Celebrates Silver Anniversary As The Islander completes its twenty-fifth year of continuous publication, it has a record of elev-en All-American awards in fourteen years, along with numerous other achievements. Striving to maintain the All-American pace of the Islander during the first semester were seniors returning from last year's staff. The editors were Jim Dindorf, front page; John Cleland, feature page; Bill Young, sports page; and Bob Bendel, back page. Bob Higgins was appointed circulation manager in October after Jim Brytowski resigned. Juniors of Journalism I had charge of all news reporting. At the beginning of the second semester, seniors on the staff were replaced by junior journalists. Appointed os editors were Tom Kasbohm, front page,- Greg Waddick, feature page; Carl Mohl, sports page.- ond Hans Reiss, back page. Typing was done throughout the year by Denny Murray, Tom Cassady, Bill Donalds, Ed Bergquist, Bob Higgins, Jim Kondrick, Don Lamm, and Dave Benner. The Islander had its humble beginning in the 1924-25 school year. Toward the end of 1924 a group of enterprising sophomores started a small class paper. This mimeographed news sheet Pictured obove ore the second semester editors planning editor; Hans Reiss (standing), bock page editor; Carl Mohl, a layout. Left to right ore Greg Waddkk, feature page sports page editor; and Tom Kasbohm, front page editor. aroused inferesf toward the publication of a school paper, and the seniors eagerly took up the work. Enough subscriptions were secured to support a small publication for the rest of the year. The first issue was published February 16, 1925, under the name of The Islander. It was a three-column sheet, 8!6 by 11 inches. James Houlihan was editor and George O'Herrin business manager. In 1925 The Islander wos admitted to the Minnesota High School Press Association. The Islander is also a member of the National Scholastic Press Association and has been awarded an All-American Honor Rating in '36, '37, '38, '39 (twice-, '42, '43, '44, '47, '48, and '49. An international Honor Award was received from Quill and Scroll in 1942 and First Class ratings from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association in 1948 and 1949. Further recognition was given The Islander at the annual convention of the Minnesota High School Press Association last fall. Awards received by The Islander Included honorable mention of Jim Dindorf for front page makeup. The Islander was honored on November 3, 1948, when the Hennepin County Tuberculosis Association presented The Islander with an award in recognition of the paper's contribution to a better understanding of the disease. The Islander had previously won recognition from the Notional Tuberculosis Association in 1943, 1944, and 1946. The Do La Salle Red Cross Council is composed of the following, seated—Michael North, Irving Wald, Lawrence Schulte, Richard Carpentier, Richard Graziono, Michoel Halcanson, Treasurer William Foley, Vice-Chairman Dave Kennedy, Chairman Ronald Liddiard, Secretary John Ogren, Joe Stansberry, Ronald McKenzie, Charles Carlson, Earl Schumacher, Thomas Roth, and Jack Carmody; standing— Charles Lodermeier, Frank Griffin, and Charles Gagnon. Liddiard, Kennedy Chairman Ron Liddiard and co-worker Charles Carlson, happily pack away an abundant supply of soap gathered during the school drive for the needy people of Europe. The co-operation of tho student body made this venturo a huge success. Head Jr. Red Cross Headed by chairman Ronald Liddiard, the De La Salle Council of the American Red Cross completed its second year as an active organization. Representatives from the advisories elected Dave Kennedy, vice-chairman,- John Ogren, secretary; and Bill Foley, treasurer. At Christmas time Brother Felix's Industrial Arts classes made 60 cribbage boards and turned them over to the Red Cross for distribution to disabled veterans. A letter of thanks was later received by Brother Paulion, Moderator, from Mrs. Margaret E. Adamson, field director of the Veterans' Hospital thanking the De La Salle chapter for the gifts, which help bedridden men pass the long tedious hours. Another drive was held to send gift boxes containing soap and decks of playing cards to the needy people of war-torn Europe. The annual Red Cross membership drive began on March 14 with an assembly describing the work of the American Red Cross. Each student was asked to contribute, with the result that a grand total of $230 was collected to carry on the work of the American Red Cross. Acts, Musicals Highlight Assemblies Brother, Santo didn't give you that cot to make it into a memory . . . Crooked cards cost crooked shadows . . . Ole Joe Stalin sure knows his beans . . . When I have the ball, I'm a forward; when I haven't. I'm a guard . . . Flash! Manmade freshman turns into frankenstein cigarette lighter —these are echoes of some of the best assemblies of the year. Besides demonstrations, there were several musicals, vocational talks, and a few movies. The Assembly Council, under the direction of Brother Gilbert, lined up these assemblies for the year. Comprising the council were representatives from each room who elected as council officers: President Don Huff, Sr. 208; Vice-president Fred Cuss-ler, Jr. 203; Secretary James Sidders, Soph. 209; and Treasurer James Baker, Fr. 24C. The freshmen representatives were Ronald Wallerius, 10C; Donald Albrecht, 23C; Jerome Meskan, 307; Joy Benson, 207; and James Baker, Fr. 24C. For the sophomores there were Tom Strauss, 304; John londborg, 306; Michael Jans, 200; Robert Hazledine, 208; and James Sidders, 209. Charles Regan, 301; George Smith, 201; Ed Erickson, 206; and Fred Cussler, 203, represented the juniors. The seniors had Tom Logan, 14C; Bob Burns, 309; Bill Lanzo, 300; and Don Huff, 202, representing them. Outstanding assembly performers were The Roomers, a mixed quartet; George De Mott, juggler; Bob Brown, one-mon science circus; Sam Hardy, F.B.I. agent; Sgt. Pat Moriarity, authority on German youth; and the Minneapolis Lakers, world champion basketeers. All told, the Assembly Council well repaid the quarter assessment made on each student to finance these appearances. In view of its present success, an enlarged program will be undertaken next year by the assembly council.

Page seventy-three DE Places in Swim Meet The De Lo Salle swimming team climaxed its third season with a second place in the St. Thomas Invitational Meet. Coach Gustafson did an excellent job of molding together a team composed mostly of inexperienced swimmers. The team won only one meet during the season, dropping several close ones to Cretin, Central, Southwest, and Roosevelt. The lone win was a victory over Edison, 44 to 21. Pictured above left is the De la Sollo swimming team. In the top row, left to right, arei Bob Wlntheiser, Don Lamm, Ray laliberto. Ron Liddiard, Jim Speva-cek, and Stan Marrs.

Diamond-men Edge Aggies in Opener April showers gave the Islander baseball team quite a going over before the season finally got underway on April 26. After being rained out twice in succession, DE finally got together with Washburn at the Parade Grounds. After two innings, a thunderstorm broke the game up, with the Islanders leading, 4 to 0. The fourth attempt was blessed with warm sunny weather, but it was the Orange's day. With some good left-handed pitching, Washburn stopped the Islanders, 6 to 2. DE downed St. Agnes in its first conference game of the season, 6 to 4, Hugh Hoy banged out a homer with two on, and Jerry Oberaigner smashed a triple to lead the hitting attack. DE dropped its first conference game of the season in o 2 to 1 thriller at Cretin. The Raider's John O'Donnell had a shutout until the final inning when Firmin Janski singled to score Jerry Oberaigner with DE's only run. In league compefiion De La Salle struggled with St. Thomas over second place, winning double-headers from both tho Toms ond St. John's, and splitting with St. Cloud Cathedral.

Jack McGinnis Sparks Tennis Team With five of lost year's fop eight men returning, the veteran De La Salle tennis squad, under the coaching eye of Brother Mark, has at last come into its own. Those back from last year include lettermen Jack McGinnis and John Cleland, along with Leo Wolf, Bob Wintheiser, and Fred Beveridge. These, plus newcomers Jim Steider, Warren Wallace, Bob Grosbusch, Dovid Frazier, Adrian Huyck. Tom Crosson, Richard Malenfant, Frank McGrail, and Charles Mackey, produced one of the most successful seasons in recent years. The season began with a round-robin intra-squad tourney to determine the rankings of the team members. The results placed McGinnis as number one singles, with Cleland ond Steider also helping out in that department. The teams of Wintheiser and Wolf, and Crosson and Huyck overcame all opposition in the hard fought doubles brocket. This year's schedule included two matches each with Cretin. St. Thomas, and St. Agnes, and one match with St. Cloud. Home matches were played at the University courts, while the team traveled, os much as possible, with the baseball squad for conference matches away. Climaxing the season was the state tournament, this year held at St. John's on May 28. left —Brother Mark congratulate} Jock McGinnis on winning ond returns to McGinnis.

Linkmen Aided by Returning Lettermen The 1949 Islander golf squad, under the guidance of Brother Peter, displayed winning form in the initial match of the season, edging Blake Academy at Minikahda Country Club, 616 to 5Vi2. Tom Cassady, Dick Barrett, Don Golas, and Chuck Boughton played the one, two, throe and four spots for De La Salle, with Golas and Boughton each taking three points and Cassady a half point. Conference competition included several matches with Cretin and St. Thomas, plus triangular meets between the schools. The big event on the golf calendar is the state meet held each year in a different city in Minnesota, with all Catholic high schools welcome to enter a team. Duluth was host this year. The non-conference schedule lists such formidable opponents as: Blake, University High, Southwest, North, Vocational, West, Edison, Roosevelt, Patrick Henry, and Washburn. Two of the top men on the squad, Tom Cassady and Chuck Boughton, gained some valuable experience playing as regulars on last year's team, directed by Brother Michoel. Although the team was off form at times during the 1948 season, the squad performed well in the state tourney at Faribault, coming in third among the nine teams in competition. Front row—Ron Pratt, Gerald Foss, Phil Swlntek. Tom Ken- Merkl.

Keglers and Cagers Finish Tournaments On Snowbound Isle The picture at the left shows what early spring looked like in Minnesota this year, with a snowfall of twenty inches within a ten-day peroid. Although such treachery by the lovely season put a crimp into baseball, tennis and golf, it only brought to a strong finish such activities as bowling and intramural basketball. Bowling, a revival at De La Salle, saw action every Sunday at the Nicollet 38th Alleys. Most enthusiastic of the keglers are shown below: front row—Jack McGinnis, Bill Young, Leo O'Brien, Bob Higgins, Jim Roberts, John Richards, and Cliff Alexander; back row -Pete Hayden, Pat Hayden, and Bob McGinnis. This is DE's first bowling team in several years, the activity being organized during the past winter entirely on student initiative. Of the original 32 men who attended the first session, 12 bowlers persevered to the finals. A small financial assessment made possible the presentation of trophies to leading keglers. Fred Glynn was individual leader with a 20 point per game average above the field. Alexander and O'Brien ranked next. Bob Kosbohm, president of Cycle, and Ann Jarvis are shown at the right taking phone calls at the Catholic Youth Center in preparation for the day of recollection held on Rejoice Sunday. Bob was in charge of the all-day rally which opened with 9:30 Mass and closed with Benediction a 4:30. The day was divided between individual reading and group discussion. Father Powers of Notre Dame University spoke to the boys, and Father Brown of Holy Rosary, to the girls. The theme of the day was. You can change the world. Just before the Easter holidays, the All-Nations intramural basketball tournament came to an enthusiastic climax. Razwick's Irish took the junior title, with the Shanty Irish emerging as champions in the senior division. The tournament was organized under the double elimination system of play. Below left is seen some unorthodox action during the game between the French and the Shanty Irish. Joe Stansberry of the French seems to have precarious control of the ball on his trip to the floor, with Tom Cassidy and Jack Turner trying to make things difficult. Fury and excitement in junior play displayed a form of its own, as can be seen from the picture at the right. Firmin Janski, Jim Donohue, and Ronald Stoffel go up together for a loose ball.

Serious music headlined the Spring Concert on May 1 and the second annual school exhibit. Under the system of military rank, the band is led by Captains Tom Corbett and John McGinnis, along with Lieutenants Tom Augustine, Bob Smith, Darrell Neuville, Ronald Jacobs, and Dick Nowak. Continued success of this organization is due to the formation of a second band. Basically in its primary stages, the second bond had sixteen freshman members this year. Among the variety of renditions offered by the band were such numbers as Chopsticks, Holiday for Strings, Schubert's Ave Maria, and The Rosary, by Nevin. In the classical section, Victory Overture, bosed on Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, displayed fine music at its peak.

Directory Spearheads Yearbook Plans In order to ossure financial backing for  he '49 Delta a committee of ten started last spring to solicit advertisements for the new De La Salle Directory. Published for the first time in the history of the school, the Directory carried the names of all students, their addresses, phone numbers, and parishes, together with schedules of sports and other activities. Bob Bendel, business manager of the Delta, was assisted by a committee composed of Jim Dindorf, John Cleland, Frank Griffin, Steve Judd, Jim Kondrick, Dave Kennedy, Bob Burns, Dan Sexton, and Ed Bergquist. With finances off their minds, members of the senior journalism class spent several weeks discussing and outlining a theme for the yearbook. A final vote called for sketches showing a typical character in the school in his native habitat, the Island. An added attraction of the book was the use of color on the division pages. Contents of the book was then planned for the order of seasons, rather than the artificial breakup according to subject matter. Each department was to have an album section in a special season, with a formal picture of each faculty member placed in the department to which his advisory belongs. A candid section at the end of each season was to show informal pictures. Pogo one hundred two The first few months of class-work were devoted to the study of professional magazine layouts. After that the class was divided into two sections, one for layouts and the other for copy. Editors of the four sections of the book were: Jim Dindorf, Steve Judd, Jim Brytowski, and Dave Benner. Layout men, working under Ed Bergquist, were Tom Cassidy, Leo O'Brien, Jack McGinnis, Joe Stansberry, Bill Lanzo, Bill Donalds, Bill Young, Jim Dindorf, Chuck Benda, Leo Wolf, Bob Higgins, John Cleland, and Bob Bendel. After first proofs of cuts started to come back, copy men began their labors. Doing the writing were: Steve Judd, Jim Kondrick, Carl Olson, Denny Murray, Don Lamm, Frank Ukoc-kis, Chuck Boughton, Jim Brytowski, Tom Mueller, Jim Dir-lam, and Tom Cassady. Cover design was done by Leo Wolf, with division pages by Bob Lohmar, and introductory sketches by Vol Mancini.
