JUNHOR B S the mighty portals of De La Salle opened to commence another year of its glorious and immortal history we entered with all the dignity of a soldier who had just had another stripe placed on his arm. For were we not now Juniors? I We, however, were not carried away with our title for we soon settled down and conducted our business in the usual clear headed way. In the selec- tion of oflicers we saw Bt to place our confidence in the following: President, Myles O'Reilly: Vice-President, John Giblin: Treasurer,'Thomas McMan- mon: Secretary, John Gilligan. Even though we spent much time in the almost hopeless task of render- ing Cicero into understandable English and solving the intricacies of Inter- mediate Algebra, we also found time to represent our Alma Mater on the field of athletic endeavor. Indeed, as facts will show, we were not heedless to the call of Brother Bernard for candidates for the varsity basketball team and as a result of our earnestness we were ably represented by Thomas O'Keefe and Joe McManmon. We also have a 'large' delegation on the track team. a sport which De La Salle fosters so wellf Our representatives in this sport are: Francis Marucca, Charles Albers, John Doran, George Healy, John Man- nion and Tom O'Keefe. The first organized sport within the class was its basketball team which was composed of Joe McManmon, John Doran, George Fitzgibbons, John O'Dwyer, John Mannion and Tom O'Keefe. While we were one of the leaders in sports our scholastic achievements in conquering the big berthas of the faculty in the form of quarterly examina- tions were also worthy of note. . The leading discussions and keen eloquence which market our class meet- ing were a great aid to Professor Leddy in choosing the representatives for the debating team. ln the quartet of Daniel Lyons, Myles O'Reilly, Arthur Gillis and Thomas McManmon the Professor selected four true disciples of Demosthenes. Although we were unsuccessful in downing our rivals from 3A, we think that the members of our team may be rated with the best budding orators in our school. As time keeps ever onward our days as Juniors now draw to a close, but may we, with the 'help of God, continue our march to be Seniors unim- peded. While this year is to go down as one of the glorious for Juniors in the annals of De La Salle, we all realize that, had not providence blessed us with such an excellent set of instructors that we had to guide our ship of destiny, our accomplishments would be nil. Our instructors for this year consisted of Brother Andrew, class teacher: Brother Bernard: Brother Anthony and Professor Leddy. 59
