Here is a class that you can not pass by without admiration. Of course, it had its mod- est beginning, as did every Freshman class, this year, but it has reached levels that prom- ise to make it famous. We, who compose it, were strangers the day we stumbled over everyone and every- thing to reach our homeroom, we seemed to have forgotten that we once knew how to talk initelligibly, when We were addressed by our instructors, Father Murphy, S.I., Mr. Pichla, S.I., Mr. Kozik, and Mr. Madigan, and why did we call our teachers by every conceivable title but the correct one? But, then, perhaps all Freshmen experience such things. Scarcely had We gotten over the shock of what 'lIug meant, and learned the difference between Mister and Father, when We were given our schedules and told that Gonzaga Class Officers ask the teacher for a class day: I. Theriault, Secretary: Mr. Pichla, S.I.: W. DeChard, Vice-President: P. Collins, President: L. Buckingham, Treasurer. gentlemen study three hours daily and that there was no freshman smoking room. We, however, were undaunted. We were deter- mined to show our spirit, despite our growing concern for our persons. We reached top rank- ing in the Scholarship Raffle, always made the best showing at the KBS. Mass, and were especially noted for our athletic prowess and participation in almost every extra-curricular activity in the school. lf you care to confirm this fact, merely turn the pages of this book' and see for yourself. Of course, we must not forget our able class officers, Patrick Collins, President, William DeChard, Vice-President, Louis Buckingham, who had the odious responsibility to wheedlei out well hidden cashg and Ioseph Theriault, our secretary and the Brain of the-class. You gentlemen must have studied last night. A E 1-Q23 I . X K

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. They will be glad to show you an impressive The open door to success : presenting the princi- ples of IC: R. Clarkson. President: O. Beatty, Treas- urer: P. Daly, Athletic Manager: Mr. I.

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.

1-5 Class Officers try to free the class from home work: E. Woodland, Treasurer: G. O'Rourke, Vice-President: Fr. Clements, S.I.: F.. Pirrone, Secretary: P. Barnes, President, Every school day morning a group of boys may be seen entering the Kohlman Hall build- ing and climbing three flights of stairs to the IE classroom. From the outside lE looks like any other classroom, but as you enter the room the first thing that attracts your attention is the Latin Project which adorns the Walls. This proj- ect consists of colored pictures pasted on card- board of different sizes and near each picture is the explanation in Latin of the action por- trayed or the scene depicted. This is only one of the many facts indicative of the ability and interest of the members of this class. ln the first class meeting of the year, IE elected the following officers: Paul Barnes, Presidentg Ioseph Kelly and George O'Rourke, Vice-Presidents: Everan Woodland, Treasurer, and Anthony Pirrone, Secretary. Editors of thc famous class paper receive cr few liints. L. Stock, Editor: Fr. Clomciits. S.I.: B. Lavins, Sports Editor: I. Awad, Art Editor. The class holds the distinction of being the only one in the school to have a class paper, the lEfLite. The paper has expanded to four mimeographed pages under the Editorship of Leo Stock, assisted by Robert Green, Ioseph Awad, Melvin Clark, Richard Donovan, and Bernard Lavins. The class also participates in the extra-cur- ricular activities that Gonzaga offers, the So- dality, the Taney Debating Society and the Radio Guild. Moreover, E men have made the I. V. football and Freshman basketball teams. IE wishes to express its gratitude to its teach- ers, Father Clements, Father Brady, and Mr. Kozik, who have devoted much of their time in helping us measure up to the high standard that Gonzaga has set before us.
