The ,Torch 'i . SOPHOMORE A MEMORIES of our summer vacation still lingering, we returned once more to De La Salle to see what our second year held in store for us. Our spirits buoyed up by the importance of our position as Sophomores, we eagerly began work under the guidance of Brother Clement, who was to verse us in Religion and Algebra. Brother Joseph was to further our knowledge in the language of the Caesars. while Brother Andrew was to introduce us to French. English and ancient History were to be taught us by Professor Leddy, a new addition to the faculty of De La Salle. Q tAccording to tradition we immediately began the business ofelecting class oiiicers and in the first meeting, under the guidance of a temporary chair- man, Frank Burton was elected President: Thomas Dunn, Vice-president: Tom Dunne, Treasurer: and Tom Dempsey, Secretary. It was decided that these men were to hold office for the first half year. We immediately undertook the reorganization of the class basketball team which had met with tremendous success in our Freshman year and we eagerly awaited the opening of the sea- son. John Smith was unanimously elected captain of theeteam, which was composed of Tom Dempsey, Pat Carrol. Tom Farley, John Clark and Frank Burton. Our success as a Freshman team was dwarfed by that of our second year showing. We defeated all the teams we met in our division and also the Winners of the third year division. In a hard fought game we finally bowed to the Seniors by a close score. Brother Bernard, the varsity basket- ball team director, inaugurated the Junior Varsity on which every member of our team obtained a berth. On the track we also had a line representation. The call for Cross Coun- try brought out Tom Dunn who performed admirably. He obtained the honor of being a member of the mile relay and as such placed in the Newark Championships. G. Dolan and S. Morrisey wore the De La Salle colors on the outdoor track. ' . In the annual St. La Salle Auxiliary drive, we had the satisfaction of surpassing our ever present rivals 2B in the securing of subscriptions and the occupation of an enviable position in the general standing of the classes. The Sophomores brought to this labor the support and ardor which has characterized all their undertakings sincegthey entered De La Salle. It was about this time. too, that the first quarterly exams took place. Messrs. Maloney, Burton, Kelly and Smith made their proficiency in studies very conspicuous. I Probably the outstanding event in our second year was the theatre party which the class attended en masse at the production William F. Brady The Street Scene just before the Christmas holidays. After we returned to school from our short rest, we elected a new set of' oflicers. Mr. Callahan was elected President: Mr. Dunne, Vice-president: Mr. Farley, Secretary: and Mr. Morrisey, Treasurer. Now, with the coming of spring, we are eagerly looking forward toward the baseball and outdoor track campaigns and we are quite confident that our good standing will continue in these sports as well as it has in the previous activities. 1930 61
