'flilie r'ic'sfei., SIELNIUR YEAR PON our return in September, we realized our ambition of three years, we were now Seniors! It was with a high heart and great ambitions that we entered the fourth year. Brother Charles was our class teacher and capably directed us through the intricacies of Chemistry, as well as Religion and English. Brother Bernard, the popular athletic director, proved to be the capable Math teacher, while Brother Andrew taught us History. In French we again had Brother Anthony, who taught us French to no avail for the two preceding years. g In athletics the Senior class, as usual, was well represented. In basket- ball we had Bob Nugent captain. Bob Curry, Joe Cosgrove, Arthur Glynn and Jeff Bourke as delegates from the Senior class. For the better part of the year, the regular quintet was composed of Seniors. To ind the equal of this record, you will have to turn back many pages in the history of De La Salle. The most serious part of the Senior class was the annual publication of the Torch. The first business in regard to the publication was the election of editors and assistant-editors. Bob Curley, Vice-president was given the honor of Editor-in-Chief, while John Clark was made Business Manager. The various committees were then chosen and the business of the Torch was then launched. At the outset the class of thirty, resolved, as did its predeces- sors, to publish the nnest Torch thus far. Witlm the help of Brother Charles, the book, incomplete as yet, gave promise of being at least the equal of any former publication. The next activity on our program was the annual debate. However, as the two classes merged into one, this year's debate was not an inter-class debate. The question debated upon was Increase of National Defense. Those upholding the Affirmative were Messrs. Kinby, Sullivan, Glynn and Fetherston. Their opponents were Messrs. S. Reidy, Troy, Curley and J. Sheehan. The decision was given to the Negative after a very hotly con- tested argument. To return again to the athletic side of school, we ind that as usual we were well represented on the cinder path. Frank Quinlan was captain of the Cross Country team and G. Bourke, H. Boyle. E. Dolan, A. Sullivan and Bob Hayes were also members of this team. In baseball, although the season has not yet started, Captain Bob Hayes finds many fellow Seniors on the diamond with him, among whom are Joe Cosgrove. D. O'Connell, J. Reidy, R. Bullo, and Jim Fetherston. As we conclude our final year at De La Salle, we cannot help looking back and renewing in our minds all our acquaintances and teachers who left us. As we leave De La Salle, we experience two emotions, joy and sadness. Joy. in thinking over all our pleasant times past: and sadness. in the breaking of many four year friendships. In taking our leave, we wish to expre.ss our gratitude to our teachers and professors and to the Director, Brother Edward. who has guided us through four years of constant study. l lil life? 45
