No sooner were We assigned to the first room on the third corridor than our promising class elected its officers and commenced the pursuit of knowledge under the able direction of our professors, Mr. Messemer, S.I., Mr. McSorley, Sl., Mr. Leckie, Mr. Algier, SJ., and Father Brady, S.I. As evidence of the fact that we were attain- ing our goal, many of the names from our number made their regular appearance on the honor roll. But we were not entirely engrossed in our studies, for many of our members actively par- ticipated in extracurricular activities and in intra-mural sports. Our attendance at K.B.S. Mass every Friday and at Sodality showed that our entire school life centered around our Student Govemment under the direction of the ca- Eable class officers KL.-RJ: B. Ostmann, P. Davis, P. otton. religion. We may be called The Chemistry Class this year, for we are the one and only fortu- nate group to explore the wonders of science in Chemistry. Few of us will forget those in- structive and enjoyable hours spent experi- menting in the laboratory, under the watchful eye of Father Brady. Cur group was never lacking in school spirit, which we displayed by our attendance and spirited cheering at the various sports events and by our energetic effort in making the school activities a success. So, with memories of hard work, happiness, and true friendship, we look forward to an- other successful year. The teacher must be in the back of the room.

The students have established 3-C as a class exemplifying true Gonzaga spirit through par- ticipation in varied extra-curricular activities. The class has been very fortunate in having such capable instructors as Mr. Leckie, who tutored us in our Latin, English and Religion, Mr. Messmer, SI., who helped us solve our Algebra and Trig problems, Mr. Algier, Sl., and Mr. Pichla, Sl., teachers of French and German, respectively, Whose untiring efforts have made our modern language study most interesting. Early in the year class officers were elected and have, indeed, served us Well. They were: loe O'Neill, President, Bill Kellinger, Vice-Pres- identg Wally McGregor, Treasurer, and Iohn Noone, Secretary. The above mentioned also served faithfully on Varsity squads, along with such stalwarts as Gil Lansdale, Ken Atchison, and George lelly. 3-Gs Ambassador of Good Will, lose Sanchez Gavito, stood out leading the cheers at the colorful games, R. Williams and P. Latchford displayed their talents in the Aguilian, Weston Harris performed in the sen- ior division of the Radio Guild and also served on the Iunior Prom Committee, and Frank Young aided the Library Staff. High scholastic ratings were earned by Harris, Ielly, Donellan and Frisk. And so we completed a successful third year and We eagerly look forward to an even more successful senior year, when we again hope to be reunited. The reasons for 3C's fine spirit-the officers and teacher: W. Kellinger, W. McGregor, Mr. T. Leckie, I. O'Neill, I. Noone, Sanchez cements the good neighbor policy. 3.5

2 ZA looks up toward third year. Little did the members of ZA realize at the beginning of the school year that, following the mid-term examinations, the class would keep its form, but reveal a change of faces, as one-third of its original members fused with members from the Sophomore sections C and E. However, complete unity was fully effected and the class made rapid progress, scholastic- ally, under the able direction of Fr. Murphy, SI., Mr. Cunningham, S.I., Mr. Snee, SI., and Mr. Lehmkuhl, SI., who, in the same order, expounded on the whys and wherefores of Re- ligion, Latin, English, French, and Geometry. The class, led by its newly elected officers, Bill Elsey, President: Frank Shanley, Vice-Presi- dent, and Iohn Manon, Treasurer, was com- posed of an eager group of students, Whose How do we stand?

Shcmley, Vice-President. attitude, throughout the year, toward studies, in the field of sports, and in extra-curricular ac- tivities was shown by their willingness and whole-hearted cooperation. That this is true, we have only to recall that, in particular, Pyne, Schnellbacher, and Buck- ley lent their talents to the band, Hillyard and Kern helped in the publication of the Aquilian, Muller wore the uniform of the Varsity football team, while Shanley and Maher were key- stones in the Iunior Varsity's forward wall: Bill Elsey Won his letter as a Varsity court man, and Sparacino and Manon performed ably on the Iunior Varsity basketball team, While in general the whole class by their constant ap- plication and interest showed themselves as true Gonzagans.
