The To'h S class of thirty stands well out in front with a record that is the envy of the en- tire school. As the year ended, looking forward to our vacation and back over our Sophomore year, which has just closed, our one earnest wish was that we would be as successful as Juniors as we were as Sophomores. ' We returned in September for the third time to embark on the third of the four steps that would lead us to our goal. For some unaccountable reason the former A section became B and vice versa. In the'A section Brother Edward. a newcomer, but destined to become very popular with the boys, took charge. while the B section was cared for by the efficient Brother Patrick. The new subjects were Solid Geometry and Physics. the former taught by Brother Nor- bert, who appeared afterthe transfer of Brother Patrick, the latter by Brother John, and Brother Joseph set about the heroic task of trying to teach us Latin. For the lirst time the two classes combined and a single set of oilicers was elected to govern the' third years. When the smoke of battle had cleared away, the following results were determined: President, R. Curley: Vice-President, T. Troy: Secretary, A. Kirby: Treasurer, Ed. Shaw. Upon settling down after the first few days of unrest, we discovered two new students in our midst. They were Prank Tooley and Bob Nugent, both destined to do their bit on one or another of the varsity teams. The annual call for Basketball candidates found the class of thirty answering it with the same alacrity as it has shown in the two previous years. Bob Nugent. a newcomer, in September was good enough to be placed on the varsity five and this coupled with the fact that three other Juniors made the team, namely, J. Geagan, A. Glynn and J. Cosgrove, did much to add to the athletic prestige of the class of '3o. Shortly before Christmas the annual interclass debate was held. Those selected to represent their respective divisions were the Messrs. Curley, Glynn. Reidy and Sheehan of 3B while Fetherston, Kirby Troy and Passler upheld the A side of the question. The debate, which was keenly interesting to all. resulted in a victory for 3B, the former IA and 2A thus giving them a slight lead over their opponents. On the track team we had more representatives than any other class, the Seniors included. Those wearing the Red and Blue of De La Salle on the cinder path from our class were the Messrs. Quinlan, Bourke, Dolan and Hayes In the final sport of the year, baseball, the class of '30 sent many repre- sentatives to the diamond, among whom were Bob Hayes, Bob Nugent. Charlie Passler and Joe Cosgrove. with F. Dingle as manager. On reviewing our athletic endeavors in our third year, we feel quite sure that the class of '30 did its part in upholding the sporting tradition of De La Salle and finally, upon taking our leave of the third year, we have but one mutual wish, and! thatis, that our fourth and iinal year at De La Salle be as successful and pleasant as its forerunners. 1930
