Seniors Show Initiative As DE's 49th Class The De La Salle graduating class of 1951 is the 49th class to pass through the school portals and the 7th to do so during time of conflict. Much is to be accomplished towards a peaceful living era and this responsibility falls largely on all of America’s graduating classes. De La Salle men are fully prepared to accept this commission as a body. . In September representatives were appointed to the Senior Council. Under their moderator, Brother Peter, their first move was to elect class officers. This question was referred to a general vote, and the victorious candidates were: Hugo Wolf, president; Jared Ferrell, vice-president; Daniel Casey, secretary: and Robert Gonyea. treasurer. Scholastically the class of ’51 displayed marked enthusiasm and achievement. Six students passed the difficult N.R.O.T.C. intelligence tests. Thus De La Salle’s reputation as an educational institute was quite aptly maintained. During the four year history of our present graduating class, De La Salle athletics and Athletes have gained well-deserved acclaim. Baseball found DE teams right at home in the first division while Grain-Exchange-Byllesby, composed entirely of DE men won the American Legion title in 1950. Social functions were left to the initiative of the class departments who successfully staged card and bunco parties, sports dances, and various “hops.” The crowning achievement came with the class prom and commencement dance. The class of ’51 owes much success to its firm foot-hold in faith. Four annual retreats and monthly First Friday devotions helped imbed a fervor of faith that served as a foundation to class activities and still serves as a binding force to the class itself. Many of our members have seen fit to devote their lives to the nobler course and vocations to the priesthood and brotherhood have not been few. They are: Stanley Hanson, Gillen Steiner, and Richard Maclnnes. The graduates of De La Salle could not have asked for a better preparation towards life than that received in the past years. Most of us will carry on and achieve much. 12
