it I Q Illllzi SOPHOMURE B ITH vacation now but a memory we returned once again to find our- selves no longer Freshmen but digniied Sophomores. We learned that the class was to be supervised by the Rev. Brother Anthony. In a short time we became acquainted with the other members of the faculty: Brother Clement, our math instructor: Brother Joseph, our Latin instructor: Brother Andrew, Maitre de francais: and Prof. Leddy, our instructor in English and ancient History. Cur first problem was to elect ofiicers who could and would guide us in various school activities throughout the scholastic year. The class honored the following: Secretary, Frank McMahon: Treasurer, Thomas Walsh: Presi- dent, Edward Dunleavy: Vice-president, James Walsh. Thanks to these capable gentlemen, we have had an enjoyable and interesting year. Almost before we knew it the first quarterly exams were upon us. As a result We found T. Farrelly in first place with Frank McMahon on his heels. Soon came the call for sports and 2B was prepared. Messrs. Cotton. Curley, O'Neill, McMahon and Zaruci formed the basketball team. Although we fought bravely we were defeated. The results of the second quarterly exams showed that T. Farrelly was still leading the class. With the third quarter some eight weeks away we decided to broaden the scope of our activities and so we organized a debating team under the guiding hand of Prof. Leddy. After careful consideration the class picked Messrs. Dunleavy, Fitzgerald, Farrelly, McMahon and James Wals-hr to represent us in that noble form of public speaking. And needless to say our faith in them was well founded. Next came baseball. With the rush of candidates we found many 2 B men going to the front. In the ranks were Messrs. Bissert. Zaruci. Dolan, Curley, Fitzgerald, O'Neill, McMahon. Radigan and Del Rossi. The first ten games were won consecutively showing the sterling quality of the team. This feat focused the athletic eye of the school on 2B. Indeed, this was not unjustly done for in this class Was seen the food for future athletic victories. Then to our great joy, Brother Anthony announced the date on which the field day would take place. Immediately our foremost athletes started to train. Entries were made in track and field events and rivalry was keen. Then, before we could realize it, the traditional field day had arrived. And 2B fought as she had never fought before-to emerge victoriously. The third quarter had passed and everyone tensed himself for the home stretch. With the thought that next year we would be Juniors. we could not fail to pass. When the storm had cleared up we found that the inevitable T. Farrelly was on top as usual. With the end of our Sophomore year coming on we wish to thank the faculty for their interest in us throughout the past year. RY' gl 63
