THE S NICR CLASS Page Sixteen Four Years Together . . Entering high school as freshmen in September 1936 with Father Van Rooy as moderator, we the class of 1940 quickly demonstrated that in spite oi' our slight stature we were ready to do our bit in perpetuating the school spirit. We turned out in large numbers for lightweight foot- ball and basketball, and recall with pride how Miller, Carroll, and Mulligan proved their ability in the intramural swimming meet, and how McGregor won the ping- pong championship never to lose it. In the fall of 1937 we returned to class larger in stature but smaller in number. Already we were making ourselves known in athletic uniforms. Elder, Curran, Pro- vost, Campagna, Flyke, Van Zeveren, Fisher, and Moore were familiar figures on the gridiron, Giroux, Elder, and Lewis were frequently called upon in basketball. The swimming team welcomed to its ranks Seery, Brown, McCarthy, Crews, Mooney, Carroll, and Duffy, the Boxing Tourna- ment gave occasion for awards to Curran, Larkin, and Dunlap. During this year under our new Moderator Father Kava- naugh the following officers were elected: W. Riley, presidentg C. Van Zeveren, vice- president, J. Giroux, secretaryg R. Cur- ran, treasurer. The class also inaugurated a set of Freshmen Resolutions to impose on the Freshmen as part of an initiation program.

Riley was re-elected president, P. Gaskill. G. Frede- rick, and C. Van Zeveren were chosen vice-president, secretary, and treasurer respectively. R. Denne, B. Frett, and P.

On the basketball floor G. Elder, D Carraher, and J. Lewis won major awards. Under the chairmanship of E. Dunigan the class gave the first Roller Derby, and we cli- maxed our junior year with a Prom at the Medinah Ball Room. This our senior year has been one of varied activities. We began by electing R. Denne, president, P. Gaskill, vice-pres- identg G. Frederick, secretary, B. Frett, treasurer. Other members of the class who held positions of note were: J. Walsh and F. Schell first and second semester presidents respectively of the Confrater- nity, G. Nicklas, president of the Band, R. Lics, editor of the Wick, B. Frett, editor of Blackfriarsg J. Kern, who was chosen as Fenwick's representative to be treasurer of Ciscag B. Frett, and P. Springer who vied for top place on the Honor Roll. The school also included B. Frett, F. Kelleher, J. McDonald, and F. Schell on her list of National Honor Society members. In the field of athletics there is a for- midable list to take into account. The football squad led to the brink of cham- pionship by G. Elder boasts of the follow- ing seniors: M. Zanoni, J. Campagna, G. Frederick, R. Curran, and E. Dunigang J. Giroux, captain of the basketball team and his able helpers G. Frederick, F. McNichols, G. Elder, D. Carraher, and J. Lewis, Qwe should add F. Doonan, cap- tain of juniorsl, after a brilliant start- winning the St. George Tournament-fell just short of finishing with the sectional trophy. Captain J. Elwood and his team mates F. Seery, M. Mooney, J. Duffy, and H. McCarthy, splashed their way to an- other Championship in swimming. When we reflect on the social events of the year we recall with pleasure the Foot- ball Dance at the Edgewater Beach Hotel arranged by F. McNichols, general chair- man, the Football Banquet at the Morri- son Hotel given by the Fathers' Club: the Senior Banquet given by the Mothers' Club at the Lake Shore Athletic Club, the Senior Prom planned at the Medinah Country Club by E. Dunigan, general chairman, and the senior officers as aids. Another memorable event of this vear was the senior spring picnic. Poge Seventeen
