MATT WALSH Of the Class of 1914 Furniture Manufacturer 4 chieuemen t thROUQh stu6ies For a man to rise to eminence in the business world through hard work alone is a real story. It’s the story of Mr. Matt Walsh, of the class of 1914. Mr. Walsh is co-owner of the Northwestern Furniture Mart, a wholesale company with factories and sales offices in Dubuque, Dallas, and Minneapolis. The latter has more than 90,000 square feet of floor space devoted exclusively to furniture display rooms. When Matt Walsh was graduated from Dc La Salle, the school offered only a three-year commercial course. His knowledge of shorthand enabled him to take a job with the firm as a stenographer at a few dollars a week. By 1920 he was promoted as a salesman on the floor. In 1925 he went on the road and returned a few years later to Minneapolis as sales manager. From there it was a short step to partnership in the firm. Grateful to the Christian Brothers for his education, Mr. Walsh said, “I’m not a tremendous success, but any success I do have I owe directly to my training at De La Salle.” And he might have added, to studies and hard work.” 5 new diRectOR takes chARqe in our finale Though the class of '52 is De La Salle’s fiftieth graduating group, it is Brother Mark’s first as Director. As the seventeenth principal of the school. Brother Mark last fall succeeded Brother Bernard, who had been in charge during our first three years. The picture at the right shows Brother Mark checking in students returning to school after absence: Pat Devcry, Jerry Melsha. Terry Boyle, and Roger Olson. Master mind of schedule making, at which he works through the whole summer each year, is Brother Thomas, assistant principal. Below he is writing employment advertising on the bulletin board; with him are Bob Pellcr, Jerry McGrath, and Jerry Meskan. Another new member of the office staff is Mr. A. H. Laiibcrte, bookkeeper and cashier, shown at the center below doing business with Mike Sullivan and Bill Bailey. Mr. Laliberte himself is an alumnus of De La Salle having been taught by Brother John Berchmans. He also has a son, Ray, who was graduated from De La Salle, and another, Lawrence, who is attending DE now. Before taking the office position here, Mr. Laliberte worked with the Russell Miller Milling Co. as a salesman. School secretary is Mrs. Ellen Anderson, seen in lowtr loft operating the Ditto machine, with Vcrn Sell checking the procedure. Mrs. Anderson keeps all the office records and makes transcripts for alumni who enroll in various colleges. Operating duplicating machines, meeting school visitors, and answering phone calls make her days more than full. Her willingness to be of service makes her office a place where students know they can always get help. 6 7 inStRUCtORS stimulate scholarship Winning of scholarships, gaining of high honors in college work, and obtaining successful positions are all characteristics of Qe La Salle graduates. These accomplishments must be attributed to the outstanding ability of their instructors. Fifty years ago when the school was opened there was an enrollment of fifty boys and a faculty of three Brothers. At present the enrollment is nearly eight hundred and the faculty numbers twenty-five. In the picture at the upper left are seen Brother Joseph. Brother Gerard, Brother Christopher, Brother Patrick, and (standing) Brother Gabriel and Brother Philip. This is Brother Joseph’s first year at DE. He teaches sophomore religion and English and freshman algebra. Brother Gerard teaches senior religion and junior English. He is also moderator of the Blessed Bcnildus Vocation Club, Contact at DE, and the dramatics club. Brother Christopher, in his first year at DE, schools the freshmen in religion and English. Brother Patrick teaches sophomore English, and the fine diction of the seniors is due to the efforts of Brother Gabriel, who is also moderator of the junior class. Brother Philip, also new to DE this year, is an instructor of freshmen religion and English. At the lower left are seen Brother Luke and Mr. F. W. Savelkoul, commercial instructors. Brother Luke teaches senior religion, and being advocates of good business, both Brother Luke and Mr. Savelkoul teach typing, bookkeeping and economics. At the lower center arc seen Mr. Karbo, Brother Peter, Brother Regis, Mr. Casanova, and Brother Quentin. Mr. Karbo instructs the freshmen in civics. Brother Peter teaches senior religion and American history and is also the moderator of the senior class. Another newcomer to DE, Brother Regis, teaches freshman religion, American history and civics. Mr. Casanova is the senior sociology instructor, and Brother Quentin teaches junior religion, freshman algebra, and modern history. The view at the upper right shows Brother Pius, teacher of sophomore religion, senior English, journalism, and mechanical drawing; Brother Felix, moderator of the freshman class and instructor of religion and algebra, mechanical drawing and industrial arts; and Brother Benedict, teacher of junior religion, plane geometry, trigonometry, and solid geometry. The picture in the center right shows Brother Albert, the Latin instructor and moderator of the sophomore class, and Brother Thomas, head of the Spanish department and holder of the position of Sub-Director.

The most important part of our religious education is prayer, and the new Brother's chapel affords an opportunity for all the students to excel in this department. Advisories take turns saying morning prayers before the Blessed Sacrament, as Adv. 12C (lower left) is doing. All other classes say the rosary in their home rooms.

Judging from the number of books that each man is carrying, it seems as though these men will have muscle-bound arms as well as keen minds. From left to right in the picture we see Dave Kauth. Tom O'Connor, Jerry Swintek, Jim Ordner, Dick Benson, Tom Newin-ski, Mike Rourkc, Tom McGinty, Jerry Noack, and Mike Gibbs, as they hurry down the stairs. Sines, curves, and angles may sound like baseball double-talk, but in reality they arc standard lingo in the trigonometry class. At the upper right, Paul Feran seems to be puzzled, and well he might be, for he is trying to solve the problem on the board by the Law of Sines.” This usually stumps all the students, and even keeps Brother hopping. Below, Commissar Marty Campion keeps close w-atch on top scientist Larry Hegdahl as he experiments with the new hydrogen bomb. Assistants Jack Scholz and Walt Shoemaker check the mathematical figures of the reactions. Although resembling a basement in the Kremlin, this is the chemistry lab and the harmless experiment of collecting chlorine. In the chemistry laboratory the students work fascinating experiments, in which they succeed in ruining their trousers and shirts, creating offensive odors, and in general making quite a mess of everything.

GERALD GEARTY Of the Class of 1931 FBI Inspector 26 chieuement thROUQh SpORtS The way in which a man chose a government position because of his experience in sports is another success story. This is the story of Mr. Gerald Gcarty. Since joining the Federal Bureau of Investigation in July 1939, Mr. Gcarty served as special agent in several major cities, as supervisor of FBI headquarters, as a field inspector, and at his present position as inspector at the Bureau’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. Babe Gcarty received four letters in each of three major sports and was the starring member of the Dc La Salle basketball team which won the National Catholic High School Tournament in 1931. After graduation in 1931, Mr. Gcarty attended the Catholic University of America, where he played varsity football and was co-captain of the basketball team. ‘‘Sports in high school and college convinced me, he said, “that the success of any group endeavor is primarily a result of leadership given the group and teamwork among the participants. I found the FBI to be the embodiment of this. The FBI was and is the summation of the qualities that church and school taught me to respect most.” 27 isLandeR eLeven stages comeiuck to snatch second A season of surprises found the De La Salle gridders in second place with six victories out of eight starts.

Best blocker of the year was Jerry Peterson, who has played varsity ball since his sophomore year. Peterson. Hadley, and Albrecht also merited honorable mention in the St. Paul Pioneer Press selections. Do La Salle 19 St. Peter 6 De La Salle 13 Blake 7 De La Salle 50 St. Augustine 7 De La Salle 21 Regis 39 De La Salle 12 Cretin 41 De La Salle 21 St. Cloud 0 De La Salle 13 St. John's 7 De La Salle 13 St. Thomas 6 TOTALS 162 113 Contradicting pre-season dope, a green DE team, through determination and hustle, came through their schedule with a good 6 and 2 record. The DE men started off well with three straight wins. The first of these three, over St. Peter, was knocked off by the score of 19 to 6. Senior Don Albrecht, only 145 pounds, playing his first game for DE, scored all three touchdowns for the Islanders with two 10 and one 20 yard run. In the second game De La Salle crumbled Blake 13 to 7. Blake was ahead 7 to 0 at the half, but Jerry Wright and Don Albrecht each scored in the second half to give DE the victory. Out classed completely by the Islanders, St. Augustine of Austin was victimized in a 50 to 7 rout in the third game of the season. Jerry Wright scored three touchdowns, Dick Lubinski scored two, and Gene Norton and Don Albrecht each scored one. In the Islanders' first night game of the season, played in the newly built Parade Stadium, the DE men bowed to Regis of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. 39 to 21. Don Albrecht took scoring honors in this game by making two of the Islander TD's. Jerry Wright also scored once. Conference play opened at Central Stadium in St. Paul, as De La Salle played Cretin. DE was humbled by the CCC champs 41 to 12. The Islanders scored their only two tallies in the last quarter, as Jerry Wright passed to Leo Reuder for one, and Don Albrecht ran for the other. De La Salle’s other Conference road game, against St. John's turned out better for the Islanders. At Collegeville a 13 to 7 victory was eked out. In the upper left, Don Albrecht, all alone, races for the goal line and DE’s final touchdown against St. John’s. At the center left, also in the St. John's game, Bill Gotz, just after taking a pass from Jerry Wright, goes for DE’s initial touchdown. The second game at the Parade Stadium saw the Islanders pull a sweet 21 to 0 upset over St. Cloud Cathedral. Touchdowns were scored by Jerry Wright, Gene Norton, and Don Albrecht. All three conversions were made by Bob Rasmussen. At the lower left Bob converts, while Dick Kartes holds. At the upper center, Jerry Wright bulldogs through the St. Cloud line for the first touchdown. De La Salle’s Homecoming was a gala success as the Islanders finished the season with a second upset victory, a startling 13 to 6 triumph over St. Thomas. In the upper right, Don Albrecht is pursued by two desperate Tommies, and races for 40 yards before he is finally brought down. At the lower right, in the same St. Thomas game, Dick Lubinski dives over center for the first touchdown. A few minutes later Jerry Wright dropped back and' threw a long pass to Dick Lubinski who went all the way for the touchdown. All the scoring was done in the first half. The game was close though, and the Tommies threatened to score their second and tying TD, when in the second half, they reached the De La Salle five-yard stripe. There, a solid line, led by seniors Gotz, Latenville, Morin, and Hadley, stopped them cold. The Tommies never seriously threatened again, and the Islanders marched off with a homecoming victory. Over the years the De La Salle football teams have brought many championships to the Island. In the 25 years that the record books cover, DE has copped nine crowns, taking the championship in ’30. ’31. ’33, ’34. and 35 (tie). Then there was a ten year dearth of titles. De La Salle got back on the victory trail again in ’46 when they literally ran all over the opposition to take the crown. They also took it in ’47. ‘48 (tie), and ’49 (tie). 31 CAQ6RS Roll to tltLe De La Salle's first double triumph over Cretin in 15 years highlighted a victorious march to the CCC championship, the region crown, and second place in the state tournament. In nine pre-conference games the Islanders won eight and lost only one. After losing the first conference game to St. Cloud, the DE men came back with seven straight to cop the title. Rolling to the finals of the state tourney, DE was defeated by a hot shooting Cotter of Winona team. This was the second consecutive year that DE has been the runner-up in the tournament, last year losing in the finals to St. Thomas. This year’s golden anniversary team is in the best traditions of the school. De La Salle has always turned out fine teams, some of the best coming in the early thirties. In ’30 the DE cagers won the state title. In '31 the Islanders took the state title and then went to Chicago, where they won the national Catholic title at the Loyola Tournament. The Islanders won the conference championship in '32, and in '33 they came in second. In '35 and again in '44 the DE men took the state title. In ’45 the Islanders snapped the 39-gamc winning streak of Patrick Henry, public school state champions, who had Jim McIntyre at center. The state title was again De La Salle’s in '46; they tied with St. Thomas for the conference crown in '47. De La Salle, St. Thomas, and Cretin tied for the conference championship in ’50. The Islanders placed second in both the ’51 conference race and the state tournament. At the upper left arc the three trophies earned by this year’s team: the conference, the region, and the second place tourney trophies.

At the upper right Joe Dufort (15) and Fred Sheridan (11) smother Paul Rcinbolt of Roosevelt, as Jack Rowles and Firmin Janski watch for a loose ball that might come their way. The Islanders trounced South 55 to 31 and then beat Vocational 58 to 51. At the lower left Ralph Juris (45) Vocational forward appears to have bounced this rebound off his head to team mate Joe Zych (42), as Joe Dufort, Islanders forward, stands by. 34 De La Salic bounced Blake 46 to 29, and in their second game of the season with South, drubbed the latter 55 to 31. Roosevelt then handed the Islanders their first defeat, 51 to 50. Against Lindstrom—Center City the Island bucket-eers eked out a 50 to 47 victory.

At the lower middle Jerry Wright and Ed Mergens seem to be taking time out to practice for the Islander Prom, which was held after the St. Thomas game. At the lower right Ted Hall dunks in two points. In the season's last game, the Cretin home floor jinx was broken, as De La Salle clobbered the Raiders at St. Paul for the first time in 15 years, 54 to 46. Placing second in the state tournament for the second consecutive year, DE made an impressive showing. In the opening game DE met scrappy Loyola of Mankato. They would not give up, and it was the last period before the Islanders built up a comfortable margin. The final score was 41 to 33. At the center Ted Hall pops two as Fred Sheridan rushes in to offer him possible aid. The semi finals brought St. Cloud and De La Sallo together for their third and rubber game.

I swimmeps take thiRd in carhivaL Climaxing the swimming season, the Islanders nabbed a third place in the St. Paul Winter Carnival Invitational. Bettered only by St. Thomas and Cretin, the team had an impressive finale. “Although not winning a meet all year, we did improve and we had the best balanced team in many years, commented Coach Carroll Gustafson. “With just a couple of breaks we could have beaten a few teams. Cretin, for instance, nudged us out by one point. At the top of the page Jerry Custer is shown in a front dive, layout, commonly known as a swan dive. Jerry, doubling as diver, was the spark plug on the medley team.

More accurately, the noon games give them a chance to let of! some of the steam that has been accumulating through the morning periods. This is done by tossing a basketball, thereby loosing the shackles of normal spectatoritis. Two home-room tournaments were held. Junior 309 took the pre-Christmas series, with Senior 305 second, one point behind. Senior 209 ran away with the winter tournament, which lasted from January through March, with a percentage of approximately .750. Pictures of intramurals seem like scenes from a ballet. At the upper left Jim Humbcute! steals the ball from Bill Cutter, with Tony O’Connor an interested spectator. At the upper right a junior, who cannot be identified, takes a shot seen nowhere else but at DE noon games. Below Pat McDonnell snags a rebound, while Dick Auld and Jerry St. Martin wonder what he’s going to do with it. Indian Summer saw much fast action during the softball games played on the Island campus. Senior 209 took the department title and then defeated Junior 202 for the championship.

DICK LONG Of the Class of 1910 Violinist. Orchestra Leader 40 cnieuement thROUQh activities Success is hard to obtain in the music world and still harder to keep for a long time. A man who has done just this is Mr. Dick Long, a Dc La Salle graduate of 1910. This month will mark his thirtieth year with the Dayton Company, also his twenty-fifth year at the Curtis Hotel. From noon until two he plays the violin, accompanied by his orchestra, for the luncheon guests in Dayton’s Skyroom, and from 6:15 to 8:15 for the dinner hour at the Curtis. Besides these two positions, Mr. Long directs the orchestra for every stage production at the Lyceum Theatre. Dick Long started in the music world playing the piano, but at 12 he switched to the violin. At 15, besides conducting the Dc La Salle band, he was playing dance jobs on his own. At 17 he obtained professional status by joining the Minneapolis Musicians’ Association. After graduation in 1910, he performed for a time with the Minneapolis Symphony before forming his own band. Mr. I ong and his violin have accomplished much together. The title given him by the Minneapolis Tribune is very appropriate—“The Ix ng-Time Fiddler. 41 6e6iCAtion of statue attests Religious spiRit To receive spiritual direction in our lives is the principal reason why we have come to De La Salle. This is accomplished in a number of practices and activities, as seen in these pages. This has been the first full school year that we have had access to the new De La Salle chapel. The advisories take turns saying their morning prayers in the chapel, and the boys are getting more and more into the habit of giving up five minutes of their lunch period each day to recite the rosary together in the presence of Our Lord. In the upper left is a picture of Father Murphy, C.SS.R., giving the pontifical blessing at the climax of this year's retreat. For the first time in the history of the school two separate retreats were given simultaneously; one to the lower classmen with Father Charles Doran as their retreat master and one to the upper classmen with Father Murphy. The view at the lower right shows the dedication of the new statue of St. John Baptist De La Salle. This statue was presented to the school by the classes of ’51 and '52. The picture at the lower right shows some of the leaders of the various religious clubs at DC. Across the picture are Mike Sullivan, chairman of the Contact Social Committee; Hugh Sherry, chairman of the Fighting 69th; Bob Peller, chairman of Contact Publicity Committee; Jim Elsenpeter, chairman of Contact throughout DE; Dick Hakanson, chairman of the Benildus Club; Ted Pouliot, chairman of the Contact Mercy Committee; and Dick Bcndcl, chairman of the Fatima Club. The Benildus Club and Contact arc the two outstanding religious clubs in the school. The Benildus Club has as its objective the fostering of vocations by prayer and good works on the part of its members. The objective of Contact is to make the school and world a better place in which to live by Christianizing all people. This objective is reached by an all out effort on the part of the members to influence those with whom they come in contact each day to accept the ways of Our Lord. In the picture on the extreme right we see Ted Pouliot, Colin Campbell, Cliff Stcinhauser, and Terry Boyle receiving Holy Communion on a First Friday, showing that the fellows at DE not only learn their religion, but live it. 42 qri6 victopy highlights homecoming Tomahawk the Tommies, the 1952 Homecoming slogan, spurred senior salesmanship of buttons to a sellout.

A large share of the fellows rented tuxedos, and when they appeared attired in their regalia escorting their charming lady friends the effect was one of beauty. The dance took place at the main ballroom of the Nicollet Hotel. Bruce Dybvig supplied the music, which was a mixture of popular com positions both fast and slow. The climax of the evening was a trip to Shakopee for a dinner at the St. Paul House attended by about 125 couples. At left Jerry Cichoski. Kathleen Daley. Mert Collon and Donna Caldwell are enjoying the romantic strains of the band at close range. The scene in the lower center is an over all view of the dance.
