Though 2D may be the last Sophomore class alphabetically, it is numbered among the first when participation in affairs Gonzagan is con- sidered, lor among its members can be found possessors of artistic ability, athletic prowess and that laudable spirit which produces active participation in extra-curricular activities. ln particular, 2D has been worthily represented in the Sodality, the Phocian Debating Society, the Discussion Club, the Band, in the Radio Guild and on the Varsity and Iunior Varsity football teams. Such an imposing array of activities bears eloquent testimony of the inter- est and spirit of the members of 2D. Walk in through the door which bears the ZD marker, and you will find a group which My my, can class matter be that interesting? is always able to derive pleasure from the course of studies, whether it be from Latin, English or Religion as taught by Mr. Smardon, S.I., form Geometry as expounded by Fr. Kav- anaugh, or from the study oi the German lan- guage under the tutelage oi Mr. Snee, S.I. This class, led by its officers, Tom Monohan, Presi- dent, Ierry Seabald, Vice-President, and Ioe DiMisa, Treasurer, strove eagerly and con- stantly to attain the goal which Gonzaga sets for her Sophomore class and as the year nears its completion it may be said that not only has the class approached that goal, but it has also come to the realization of the inestimable benefits bestowed by the curriculum at Gonzaga.

During that brief period following the mid- term exams, when the mutation of the classes was the topic anxiously discussed by all mem- bers' of the Sophomore year, we closed our eyes in anticipation and opened them 2C. That is exactly what happened. Together with some of the classes ZA and ZE, we formed a happy merger which was designated 2C. Sometimes changes have a felicitious out- come, and so it happened with regard to the newly formed class of ZC. Under the competent guidance of our teachers, we gradually at- tained our scholastic goals. Mr. Gruszczyk, S.I., enlightened us with the lucid explanations and frequent repetitions in Latin and Englishg Mr. Lehmkuhl, S.I., familiarized us with things geometrical, and Mr. Snee, S.I., brought La Belle Langue Francais to our attention. We rapidly made progress on the academic side. R. Elwood tPresidentI. O'Callaghan l'l'reasurerI. H. Pettit tVice-Presidentl. I. Pope lSecretaryI leave the auditorium with Mr. Gruszczyk. S.I. With our class officers, Bob Elwood, President, and Hugh Petit, Vice-President, leading the way, we soon attracted attention by our intra- mural endeavors and extra-curricular activi- ties. ln athletics, We were represented by Bob Cannon, who left us after the first term to don the Navy Blue, Hugh Logan and Iack Ma- gruder, who won berths on the Varsity foot- ball team. Chris De Francisci, Charlie Griffith and Iack Callaghan were stalwarts on a fine Iay-Vee basketball team. And so, the fact bears repetition, it was a change for the better, because it brought to- gether a group of boys who, because of their spirit of earnest cooperation and enjoyable fel- lowship, made the Sophomore year at Gon- zaga a memorable one for the members of the class of ZC. lt all becomes easy when you know your vocabulary.

McGraw tPres1dentI hold a little pow-wow before giving the good news to the rest of the class. LA Our class motto is Festina Lente, make haste slowly, and during our first year at Gonzaga We have done just that. Under the able tute- lage of Father Bellwoar, S.I., who introduced us to Latin and English, Father Brady, S.I., who made our Algebra classes profitable, and Mr. Leckie, who unfolded our nations history for us, We have advanced in a careful, method- ical and thorough manner. As soon as daily contact and united effort thawed the feeling of newness, We elected class officers. Richard McGraw received the Presi- dency, Iohn Mullaly the Vice-Presidency, Rob- ert Watson Was made Secretary, and the im- portant task of class treasurer was entrusted to Ioseph Disney. Blessed With a kind and energetic homeroom teacher, we soon caught the spark of enthusi- asm and participated in all the activities at Gonzaga. Logan and Mullaly represented the class on the I. V. football squad. McShea, Wes- sel and Rooney were the members of the Fresh- man basketball team. Brand and Rinaldi lent their talents for music to the band. Moreover, the class was always Well represented at the Sodality and K.B.S. functions. And in the ln- tramural contests, the class always rendered a fitting account of its competitive spirit.
