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.

The sage of dim past years who first symbol- ized knowledge and learning with the formula of the A B C's had us in mind and regarded us as something of a climax in such matters. He foresaw that boys would come from every corner of the United States, the Far West, the Middle West, the South and even the Yankee North, and would blend into a lively, friendly, industrious and intellectually active group of Gonzaga Freshman whose first efforts at higher learning and its by-products were not Without success. How were their studies? Well, ask their teachers, Fr. Murphy, S.I., Mr. Cunning- ham, SI., their class teacher, Mr. Boyd, SI.

To catalog their other assets in sum- mary fashion: first in Softball and Bowling, runners-up in Basketball and Football, proud of Phil Daly, power back of the I. V.'s, Barrett Crane, peppy cheerleader, Hein, Lee and Bose- well, capable Taney debaters, Hein, Fegan, McPherson and Turner, the rhythm makers. We had a happy, pleasant year together, marked with memorable class sessions where the serious and the light were easily blended, enjoyable class nights of fun, basketball, pop, and more fun, and Sodality and KBS. gather- ings that gave meaning to all of these.
