J, 119, W9 . ' 3 TT' Q ' -T - lf Q 5 T O xg 2' 4 ' , . SUPHOMORE B School! Hurrah! followed by a chorus of groans. Once more, after a well spent vacation we return to resume our studies in dear old De La Salle. This time not as Freshmen, but as students under the honorable cognomen of Sopho- mores. Under the guidance of Reverend Brother Matthew, Reverend Brother Alban, and Professor O'Shea, our new mentors, we entered upon the gridiron of knowledge, grimly determined to emerge victorious. Quickly settling down to the school routine, we held our first class meeting and elected the following officers: President, David Mullins, Vice-President, Roy Moeschen, Secretary, Frank Birmingham, Treasurer, james Stavracos. Almost before we knew it the first quarterly exams were upon us. As aa result of these, David Mullins captured first place, with John Reich and James Stav- racos treading on his heels. Still enthralled by our wonderful success in the exams, we entered the St. La Salle Auxiliary Drive with great vim and enthusi- asm, such that we gained second place in the entire school. As the basketball season approached, a call was issued for candidates for the varsity, to which responded three of our most noted athletes. Roy Moeschen, captain and veteran guard, whose sterling performanceshave repulsed many an enemy attack, Frank Fullam, who has shown himself to be one of the most aggressive guards in the game, and David Mullins, who shows promise for next year's team. Connected with athletics is Frank Birmingham, a very business-like youth who was appointed assistant school reporter of athletics. To arouse interest in basketball throughout the school, a series of inter-class games was established by Brother Matthew, faculty director of athletics, to which our class, already depleted of its basketball 1naterial,'responded with varied success. A The results 'of the second' quarterly exams showed David Mullins still leading, with John Reich and james Stavracos second and third. The ordeal of the exams now being over, the class, in order to broaden its achievements. organized a class paper. Under the able management of Peter Killen as Editor-in-Chief, with james Stavracos and Frank Birmingham as assistant editors, the paper, which is called the De La Salle Spirit 'J made its initial appearance soon after its organ- ization. XV e are now awaiting the coming of the Easter holidays and particulaily of the baseball season, for which we have a wealth of material. james Pal Fitzgerald, a favorite among ,the feminine residents of Elmhurst, who pitched for our class team in his Freshman year, willendeavor to repeat his marvelous suc- cess on the varsity. The end of the year is now in sight and we are all suffering palpitation of the heart because of the nearness of the dayon which we shall be able to call ourselves Juniors. l85l -Q fs
