JUNIUR A Wie returned from the usual summer vacation to meet our new mental and moral guardian, Brother Anthony. After the class had abandoned the vacational atmosphere, we settled down to w-ork. W' e have only two new faces in our midst this season. Arthur Briggs, the fiying trackman from St. Augustine's, and John Stanton, who gives a little foreign tinge to the class, hails all the way from Troy. Our first step was to reorgnize the class society under the direction df the following officers. Thomas Kane, Presidentg Thomas Delaney, Vice-Presi- dentg John bl. O'Connor, Treasurer: VV alter Rako, Secretary. The officers elected for the second half of the year were the same but for Frank Reilly elected Treas- urer and john B. 0'Connor elected Secretary. ' It was not long before we began to look forward to our first social event in De La Salle-the Junior Dance. The two Junior classes were brought into joint meeting and a committee appointed. The date being set for January the seventh at the VValdorf Astoria Hotel. There was nothing left for us to do but sit and wait. At last the big night' came and we were more than satisfied, forthe dance was a social as well as financial success. Our next step was to consolidate the two Junior years and elect the staff of officers and to begin preparations for our many undertakings in the Senior year. ' ' Then along came the Annual Meet to remind us of the opening of the track season. As a class we upheld our end in the support of the De La Salle Classic. This year we are not as fortunate as in previous years on the athletic Held having only two active members of the track squad in our class. in the persons of Arthur Briggs and .lack O'Connor. Arthur, as usual, has been giving a very good account of himself with the Big Four but it seems our little star lack has taken a little set back, but we know before he is finished he will come back to himself again. As for the Exams we haven't much to say. Like all exams we had our fears before and our laughs after. So far it seems VV'alter Rako is paving his way to another Excellence Medal having taken first position in the first two quarterlies. The boys had one jolly time at the Senior Hop for it was the last one before Lent. XVe want to congratulate our Seniors on the wonderful success they made of this dance. lVe are all living in hopes of being called Seniors by next September andf are looking forward to the many activities that tend to divert the life of a Senior. l79l x!
