Beginning in October we spent our Sunday afternoons in Mills Stadium watching the Fenwick Football team. ln Decem- ber the basketball season captivated our interest, and soon after- ward we ran into those tedious semester exams. The rest of the year was well occupied with the Midnight Show, the Boxing Tournament, the Annual Carnival, and the final exams. SEPTEMBER 1936 As Sophomores we were more mature, and quite frequently attended the Fenwick dances. The football team became City Co-Champs, and the basketball team, not to be outdone, walked off the courts at Loyola as National Catholic Champions. In April the only play at Fenwick in four years, Joan of Arkansas, was pre- sented in the gym. June again brought the final exams and the end of another school year. ll il ll l l l l 'MIIIIIII Mii

There is no need to expand upon the activities offered and engaged in at Fenwick today for the present volume will amply show by word and picture the various educational, moral, physical, cultural, and recreational activities engaged in by the stu- dents at Fenwick. A brief persual of this book will suffice to show how Fenwick and her religious teachers fulfill their duty to God and Catholic secondary education in the United States by training young men in the knowledge of Christian principles of right living so that they may bring to the com- munities in which they shall spend their adult lives the advantages of a Christian heritage twenty centuries old, the great moral training and guidance of the Catholic Church.
