Walk in through the door which bears the 2-D marker, and you will find a group which strove steadily to shine in the course of studies, although it achieved only partial success. Latin and English were taught by Mr. Smardon, S.J.g Religion and Geometry with its complex figures, were expounded by Mr. Lehmkuhl, S.J., and the roads of ancient times were traversed under the guidance of Mr. Conway. This class, spurred on by its officers, John O'Keefe, Ed Brand and George O'Brien, en- deavoured to lead the remaining sophomore class in all-around scholastic activities, and accomplished many outstanding feats. Those of 2-D will long be remembered within the portals of Gonzaga.

He led us through the Latin Gram- mar, and marched with us as we followed Caesar on his conquest of Gaul. Each day we followed his lead in the understanding of our own mother tongue, and its literature. Fathar Kavanagh, SJ, introduced us to the fundamentals of mathematical logic in his classes in Geometry. and Mr. Kozik taught us the functions of the living organism in his lectures in class, and experiments in the labratory. In the first week of school, Leo Cook was elected president, Richard Pekin, and John Giusti were voted vice-president, and treas- urer respectively, all of whom brought our class through the year noted for its spirit and loyalty. Joseph Hitselberger's name was found monthly on the Honor Roll, while in the extra- curricular activities, Tom Burns was scribe for the Aquilian, and William Malloy lent his best efforts to the Players and Revelers Guild, under the direction of Mr. Scharper. ln the field of sports Paul Wintermyer played on the Varsity Football squad With the record complete for this year. we of 2-C will go on and up ta third yearz where we will strive to be steadfast to the traditions of Gonzaga.

Last September the familiar door ot the 2-E classroom closed once and for all on the memories of the summer vacation. Forty boys, from all sections of Washington, sat in tense anticipation of a new school year. Since then we have travelled the intricate roads to better Latin and English, and we have delved into the fascinating problems of Geometry, History, and Religion. Under the guidance of Mr. John MCC-ee, S.J., we followed Caesar in his Gallic Wars and reaped the harvest of our English classics. lvlr. Charles Lehmkuhl, S.J., trained us in the efficient logic of Geo- metry, while Father Michael Kavanagh, S. J. and Mr. Joseph Kozik revealed to us respec- ,tively the doctrines of our great Catholic heritage, and the deeds and conquests of the men of ancient times. Though 2-E may be the last Sophomore class alphabetically, it is numbered among the first in participation in the affairs of Gonzaga. The class officers, John Callaghan, President, Bernard Gatti, Vice-President, Wil- liam' De Chard, Secretary, and Joseph Storer, Treasurer, plus the recently elected Athletic Director, Harvey Lowe, have fostered and en- couraged a class spirit which made this year a very pleasant one for all of the class mem- bers. The men of 2-E have been worthily rep- resented in the Sodality, K.B.S., the Band, the Varsity and Junior Varsity football teams, and intramural sports. Thus, as the year nears its completion, we are proud to state that the class has achieved the social and scholastic goals which Gonzaga sets for her Sophomore class, and has come to the realization of the inestimable benefits bestowed by the curri- culum at Gonzaga.
