i l 2 Ql g VMC l A In returning to school, September, 1924, to the new building at 160 Mfest 74th Street, we found ourselves to be in an entirely different atmosphere-it is not often that an entire school shifts its quarters, from one place to anotheli. NVe started off the new scholastic year somewhat diminished in nunhbersz, even though reinforced with many new arrivals, under the tutelage of thel Rev. ,Brothers Cassian and Jerome in clean sunny rooms, a welcome change lfrom the reverend but musty halls of the old Institutef' Besides our regularj class teachers, Brothers Ambrose and Benignus and Professor Briody came in to instruct us in certain subjects. J Our studies this year seemed more interesting, at least at first, perhaps because of their novelty. Our curriculum consisted of geometry, Spanish tin ZBJ, Latin Cin ZAJ, French, English, religion, and ancient history. The! first, Geometry, proved the Nemesis of many of us who, in the phraseiology of our' Reverend Director Cat this timej Brother Augustus, were exposed to iit but did not contract it. The languages were made interesting for us by Brothers Cassian and Jerome. Brother Ambrose, sweeping aside the dust of centuiriesf' revealed to us ancient Greece and Rome in all their glory. Brother Benignus pestered us with that English which we have now studied for twelve years and still cannot speak. l As soo-n as we were well established we held our class meetings and elected our officers as follows: l ZB-President, Tut Hoctorg vice-president, Conlon, secretary, Diolang treasurer, Caniglia. . 2A-President, McCormack 5 vice-president, Tierney 5 secretary, Curry g treas- urer, Costello. l Then came the real work of the year, ,including classwork. 2B started its class paper, at the suggestion of our esteemed classmate, George Stavracos: 7' The Mirror Ut Reflectsj, a weekly edited by Frank Dolan and hishassooiates, Messrs. Conlon and Dillon, and Mr. Stavracos, art editor. Needless to sayy this venture was a notable success. VVe rejoiced in a couple of' first-rate debating teams which met with much success in the sectional debates arranged by Bliother Jerome. Our class was well represented in school athletic activities. In icrack We were represented by VVohleb, Tierney and Conlon, we had many candidates for basketball led by Conny Canigliag we were well known in every branch of sport. J Outside of athletics we were also very successful, we were well to thef fore in the LaSalle Auxiliary and in the collecting of ads for the Field Day program, we were a close second to IA, Brother Richard's class, in selling tickets for the Indoor Meet at which 2B wonthe Interclass Relay. 'After a successful Field Day, towards the end of May, the atmospheie of the classrooms buzzed with the plans of the expectant vacationists. XVe fiitished a satisfactory year and bid our respective professors Goodbye for the lsum- mer, only to return next fall in the more exalted position of Juniors. li44l l -, I

1 bl -1- Z ffl -..M T9 -5 And now the impudent Sophomores changed into studious Juniors. our return to school in 1925, we found many changes in the faculty and a few addi- tions to the classes. Third Year A was taken over by Brother Anthony, whoi was ably assisted by Brother Ambrose, Brother Cassian and Professor McCarthy. Third Year B was again in charge of Brother Cassian, and both classes received instructions in Physics from Brother Ambrose, and in Mathematics and English f Fom Professor McCarthy. Both A and B repeated their good work of the preceding year in the St. Lai Salle Auxiliary and in the sale of tickets for the Indoor Meet. Soon after the term? had commenced, we elected the officers for the year. In A, Peter McCormack was elected President, and john Tierney Vice-President, with John Curry as Secretary and Norman McKenna as Treasurer. In B, Edward Hoctor was elected President, Cosmas Caniglia, Vice-President 5 Frank Dolan, Secretary, and Felix Conlon, Treasurer. The committeefor the junior Prom was selected from both classes, and the date was set for january 22nd at the Hotel Majestic. The Prom was a great success, both financially and socially. The debates and discussions held in our English class under the guidance of Professor McCarthy retained our interest from beginning to the end, and endour- aged our budding debators and aspiring journalists. The foundation was well laidnlast year, and we anticipate having a nonpareil debating team and a year book which should be a model for those who follow in our footsteps. In the Indoor Meet, the enthusiasm of the junior Class was shown. They excelled in attendance and in the procuring of advertisements for the Journal. The Third Year A team won the interclass relay, making the third medal won by that class. ' Great hustling was now in order, for the final exams were now at hand. After a few anxious days, our marks were distributed, and we were either happy or sad, according to the results. In A, Kennedy 'won first position in the class, which distinction was shared by Dillon in B. After we had recovered sufficiently from the exams, we left school for our well earned vacation, the last i we would enjoy as students at De La Salle. In the fall of 1926 the classes of 3A and SB returned to school for theilast lap of their course. We assembled under Brother Anesius and Brother Cassian with Brother Bernardine teaching our new and amazing subject, Trigonometry. Those of us who were fortunate enough not to be burdened with conditions mad only five subjects, the smallest number in the whole four years. Both 4A and 4B combined to form one class society. Stephen VVohlleb ,was elected president, Cosmas Caniglia, vice-presidentg Francis Dolan, secretary, ,and Norman McKenna, treasurer. Meetings were held regularly and were always filled with discussion. Various committees were appointed and the business of the class for the year was started. I i461
