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

i L.f6Vdl -- T -as G For our class ring we chose the same one as the preceding year thereby standardizing it for all succeedingyears. The Eulogian Debating Society was formed under the special care of our director, Brother Edward. A series of debates was held between the two classes and they proved both entertaining and instructive. Following the Senior debates, societies, modeled after the fourth year, were started throughout the school. l As in former years both classes made a very creditable. showing in the Saint La Salle Auxiliary drive. Later in the sale of tickets for the Indoor games, we also did very well. In the meet the inter-class relay was won by 4-B with 4A second, thus showing that the seniors were right up where they belong. The men on the winning team were Messrs. Christopher, McQuade, O'Connell and Conlon. Incidentally this was the fourth time in the four years that this same class won the inter-class relay. On the va.rious school teams we were well represented, having seventeen letter men on the different sport combinations. Also the class boasted of three captains and four managers of athletic activities in the school. The TORCH, our year book, was started and a committee was appointed. NSO far the work is progressing nicely and we hope to have the annual by the end of May. Much credit must be given to the committee who are working so hard to make it a success. VVith the backing of the rest of the class it ought to be a wonderful triumph. The Senior Prom, the big social event of the class as a whole 'for the year, was held late in February at the Plaza Hotel. It was a fine achievement and reiiects creditably on the class of 1927. Wie gained by it both socially and financially and hope to run another at the close of the term. This is to be closed for the Seniors alone. All that is left to us now is the Easter vacation and then after a short time, the event that we all have been looking forward to with mingled feelings'of sadness and joy, our graduation. Sadness for we are to leave De La Salle, joy for it is the fulfillment of an ambition. nQ,y 6,?:6F4.9a l4Sl
