September found us back at school, jolly Juniors, all present and accounted for with a few new faces in our midst. The absence of Brother Potamian vias regretfully noted. He had been transferred to St. Augustine's in far away Brooklyn. We missed that kind friend and teacher who had piloted us through channels of learning since the Freshman year. However our new teacher, Brother Adrian, proved very congenial and encouraging and under his effective leadership we set to work with a will to surpass all former achievements. Our first problem was to select officers, men whom we knew could and vsould guide us in various school activities through the scholastic year. The class hon ored the following: President, Francis Kraft 3 Vice-President, Cornelius Riordan Secretary, Francis McGinnityg Treasurer, James Halleran. Thanks to these capable men we have had an enjoyable and interesting year. One of the most important campaigns of the first term was the gathering of memberships for the St. La Salle Auxiliary. Unique etchings were offered in the various rooms as prizes. This necessarily stimulated competition Our class had the satisfaction of bringing in the highest number of subscriptions for this worthy cause establishedto help the imperative work of Christian education About this time an interclass basketball tournament was organized Our enthusiastic players won every game save one. In a closely contested battle our athletes bowed to the champions, of the school. Besides all these activities the quarterly examinations gave us food for thought. Still every one acquitted him self creditably. , The Junior Prom was the most important social event of the year. The two junior classes cooperated and those in charge of the program acted like society veterans. The Prom was held in the sumptuous apartments of the VN aldoif Astoria and splendidly attended, not only by the juniors, but by some seniors sophomores, and a few freshmen. Several Brothers honored us with their presence. Needless to say, the Prom was a great success, both socially and Hnancially. The De ,La Salle Indoor Meet caused a great deal of excitement among the students. Our class helped the cause by selling tickets and by attending the meet almost to a man to cheer our gallant runners. The One Mile Relay Team, as usual, blazed the way for the leading metropolitan teams. The Easter vacation was a welcome relief to both s-tudents and teacihers Once back in school we settled down to serious study for the deciding Hnal examinations. Before us stood the radiant and beckoning goal of these three years, To Be Seniors! The time seemed all too short to prepare for the test that would make or break us. Happily this period of intensive study was broken by the Field Day. And so the Junior Year fied by. To the spirit of the class we owe much of the success and enjoyment of the year, but above all, we owe most to the Brothers who have been our enlightened guides and dear friends. To these devoted men who give all and who, at times, receive so little appreciation, we wish to extend our fervent prayers, heartfelt gratitude, and sincere wishes for the best vacation ever.
