if V E'-at 4 so fi N al f.f+v,C+s.1LQl.3iZitll. , F2l.lffllP?3'i' lf?5iUl-To SOPHOMORE MA September nineteen twenty five saw the Class of 1928 advanced one more step up the ladder of success. VVe entered our class room and found the second step much higher than we had anticipated. Nevertheless, with a good Will and determination we decided to hold it to the best of our abilities. VVe commenced with the pep and vigor of true De La Sallites and before long had our class government soundly established. The next successful achievement was the class paper edited by Francis Kraft assisted by Dominick Garguilo, class editor, Cornelius Riordan, comic editorg Edwin Cisler, cartoonist, John Devine, sport editor. It was regular in appearance and typical of the devotion of the editors while maintaining a good class spirit. NVhen the paper had been going along successfully for some time, the idea of a class literary circle was discussed by Brother Pota- mian and once more the class showed its true spirit by responding enthu- siastically. Books were brought to Cornelius Riordan who was elected librarian and many famous authors were represented and frequently con- sulted. 'The second term was agrceably interrupted by the Christmas vacation but much needed advance in our studies was made. One' event shortly after the holidays added to the interest and betterment of our class. A debating team was organized and 2 B was challenged. At the end of the term, exams were not approached with the fear we had experienced in November and the class gave a good report of itself. Lincoln's birthday and NN7ashington's birthday were celebrated in a patriotic manner. just before Lent Brother Potamian initiated a society called the Knights of the Divine Child. This organization had its inception in Class 2 A but already it has spread throughoutvthe school. Its purpose is to establish the habit of weekly Communion and to foster vocations. The Easter vaca- tion followed the term examinations and no doubt the instructors as well as the men were glad for this brief respite from study and class routine. And now we turn to a review of theihome stretch, the goal for which We strove through the preceding months. As runners take stock of them- selves on the last lap of the race, so did we examine our weakness and our strength, for on the outcome of this period depended our passing the fateful exams. There was a general cramming of subjects, a concentration in the class that had not been apparent before. N0 time was left to put off to tomorrow what must be done today: each hour was filled with the best we had. But once during this term we left study and care behind and gathered in full strength to see the Field Day events. Interest was not confined to the members of our class, however, for the cause of athletics was nobly demonstrated by all De La Salle men.
