Their presence was cordially accepted by the Director, Brother Elzear, who appointed them to their respective class rooms. In the heart of each of these loyal seniors was engraved the battle cry De La Salle Fights! The exclamation became so common around the corridors fespecially on the third floorj, that an innocent freshman became so inquisitive he inquired of an upper classman, Where are they held? . This is not inserted as humor, but as an example of the depth of enthusiasm, that was common of the Senior Department. Although the football team was not as successful as predecessors, and the light' weight basketball team was the only one to impress upon the league the sting of utter defeat, the seniors determined, through the want of victory in the athletic line, to make all their social and cultural undertakings a decisive success. I The Senior Literary Society contributed the opening success to the determination. For it was here that they showed their ability as orators and public speakers and here also was the training quarters for the Oratorical contestants. The greatest social event ever held in the history of De La Salle was sponsored by the Class of '27. That event was the Senior Prom, held at the New Stevens Hotel. Not only was it the first dance given by a high school or college in the ballroom of the World's Greatest Hotel, but it was as Mr. Bowman, manager of the hotel stated A dance that any university in the United States could look upon with pride, for it was a great success both financially and socially. As a crowning glory and distinction, De La Salle was represented on April Six' teenth, at Patten Gymnasium, with a band that captured the Championship of Chi' cago. The presentation of the Diplomas climaxed the De La Salle Gold Star year pref sented by the Class of '27, and the achievements it has accomplished portrays the infancy of its prestige as Alumni. i 9 Wf 'Tfi uh' r . - A 119 27 Page twentyfeight Ng'--T-'W 1 as :- , ,,.
