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.

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

Mr. Madigon looks on as Treasurer Hitzelberger col- lects dues from O'Donnell and Secretary Foley lists event as news. This year, due to the ever-growing number of students, a new class was born and took its place among the Freshman Classes in Kohl- man Hall. Designated lF, we were entrusted to the expert care of Mr. Madigan, who guided us successfully to a knowledge of Latin and English. Our other teachers, Mr. Cunningham, SI, and Mr. Messemer, S.I., taught us Amer- ican History and Algebra. After the first month, our shyness and strangeness completely disappeared, and we caught the spirit of Gonzaga, and realized that we were an integral part of the school and its activities. We elected our class officers, Edward Lieke, President, Victor Maggi, Vice-President, Now. it really isn't cold, is it? William Foley, Secretary, and Ioseph Hitzel- berger, Treasurer. We soon brought our class before the attention of the rest of the student body by means of honor men and intramural activity. l-litzelberger, Lowe, Taylor and Glea- son made the lay Vee football squad, Foley, Pekin, and l-litzelberger won berths on the lay Vee basketball squad. Brennan and Walsh were active in the Taney Debating Society. Harlowe was a member of the band and Liske handled our Sodality affairs. By our willingness and cooperation, we feel that we have achieved much and we know that we have tried to live up to the traditions of former Freshman classes at Gonzaga. Sth Row: E. Liske, P.
