1 A A ' FRESHMEN NB It was on a bright cheerful day, in the early fall that we, the class or B '29, assembled in the auditorium of De La Salle to inaugurate our aca- demic course. Timidity prevailed as We took our places in the class that was to be our intellectual battlefield for the year. A few kind remarks from our instructor, Brother Alphonsus, dispelled all fears and helped much towards cementing the friendship and loyalty that exists among us today. YVhen we had become acquainted, the class society was formed. Only after much campaigning did we succeed in electing the above-named offi- cers. At a later meeting we decided to start a common fund and so selected George Wiatson as Treasurer. Our Society as a Council of the Archcon- fraternity of the Divine Child, is under the patronage of St. joseph. Due to the capable leadership of our officers, the weekly meetings are punctuated with lively discussions and are a source ,of inspiration and encouragement. Our record in athletics and scholastic achievement is interesting. VVhen the call came for football candidates, two of our husky classmates, Mullins and Killeen, made the team. They both gave a good account of themselves on the gridiron and were awarded the school letters. After a few weeks of Labor omnia vincit, et Palma non sine pulvere we ambitioned the palm. Now followed a series of written and oral contests to decide the victor. In the first written test Freshman A carried off the honors. However in the oral competition We had .an invincible team in Da11iel Quinn and James Stavracos. Brother Aloysius, our science instructor arranged a series of competitions in Biology. In these we scored two victoriesand suffered three defeats. In a later Latin test class Freshman A again starred but in the final we crowned the work by administering defeat to them. In The De La Salle Indoor Meet our relay strove to match strides with their superior rivals, and results tell the tale. VVe are anxiously looking forward to the field day when we expect to display better skill. Shortly after the meet came the much dreaded quarterlies. Two of our members could not withstand the shock so they sought their destinies elsewhere. However our intellects were not overtaxed' and we soon began the work of the Second Term. At this time Drawing replaced Civics. Brother Anthony became our instructor in this art. With the coming of spring, our minds turned to baseball. Uur team was soon organized and judging from the work shown on the field we anticipate a very successful season. james Fitzgerald, celebrated among the Elmhurst residents as a renowned pitcher, managed and pitched our first game. VVhile some were striking out on the diamond. others were striking out x's and y's preparatory to the exams. For the third time our scholastic ability was tested and few were found wanting. john Reich who held the honors since September again lead the class. The Easter recess which fol- lowed was greatly welcomed by all. VVith renewed energy and zest we entered the work of the final quarter and are confidently looking forward to the time when we shall be admitted among the honorable Sophomores.
