WALLACE, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES PAN-AMERICANISM is an ideal which tran- scends this hemisphere, and which can serve as a pattern for an international society where people can live and work in freedom, friendship, and in peace. However, unless we uphold it to achieve a strong unity within the Americas now, in times of danger, we shall not have the necessary moral and material capac- ity to assume the leadership for a just and HON HENRY A WALLACE charitable peace after the danger is past. Vce President of the United States MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE PAN AMERICAN UNION, DR. L. S. ROWE IT is hardly necessary for me to assure you how deeply the Pan American Union appreciates the honor that you have conferred in dedicating to this international organization of the twenty-one republics of America the Year Book of the La Salle High School. At this critical period in our nation's history the strengthening of our cultural and economic ties with the sister nations of this continent becomes a matter of supreme importance. At the recent Conference of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the American Republics held at Rio de Ianeiro, the spirit of Pan American co-operation reached its highest expression. Today the Americas are giving to the world an example of unity of purpose and unity of policy which constitute the best safeguard for the security of the Western Hemisphere cmd the preservation of our democratic institutions. ly Left to right: Dominick Cutroneo: Don Bagwell in the act of dedi- cating the 1942 Ongiara: Irene Marin, Dr. L.

TAYLOR, A.B.. LL.D. Superintendent of Schools HERE are two ways in which as Americans we can show our faith in the Good Neighbor Policy. One way is to be outwardly courteous toward and considerate of the cultures of other American peoples while inwardly we feel superior to them and, I fear, sometimes contemptuous of them. This type of pat- ronizing Good Neighbor probably does more harm than the straight out imperialist. Fortunately there is a sincere type of Good Neighbor Policy that has its roots in a humbleness on our part as well as a real appreciation of the fine qualities of other peoples even though they differ from us in color, language and art forms. This is an inward and spiritual grace that brings forth the fruit of good neighborliness. 8 AM very happy to learn that the Ongiara Staff is dedicating this year book to the countries of South America as their contribution to the Good Neighbor Policy. With two- thirds of the World at War, it is ex- ceedingly important that young peo- ple learn the necessity of promoting good feeling and understanding be- tween countries. We have seen the development and Working of this policy between our country and Canada. Why should we not have it with countries to the south of us? Neither differences in language nor customs should be a barrier. E. C. SCHWINGER, A. B. Vice-Principal CLARK I. PEET, B. S. Principal HE adoption of the Good Neigh- bor Policy by the Senior Class of 1942 comes at a most opportune time. This ideal is paramount in the minds of freedom loving people. People today have concentrated their attention upon their own small problems to the exclusion of world problems. The development of this friendly relations idea should prove a boon to the coming generations and insure a splendid future for in- ternational goodwill. FACULTY CLARK I.

They have Worked patiently and diligently with us on our various projects. Their advice and suggestions concerning our yearbook have been vital to the success of our 1942 publication. We seniors have been associated with these teachers for a long time, and many real friendships have thus been establish- ed. Working together on our regular Work and on our outside activities, We have reached success side by side. Our graduation will not break the ties which have been made in our high school life. We shall often remember, and sometimes revisit, in the future these people who have helped us to graduate into a new and different World and make a success of our lives there. Our senior teachers, our Good Will Advisers, will not soon be for- gotten. Seated left to right: Mr. Barlow, Literary Adviser, Ongiara: Mrs. Adams.

BURR ...........ROBERT BALDWIN O'BRIEN THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS INTERNATIONAL Brotherhood--this is a phrase that opens new and unlimited worlds for the imagination. A brotherhood based on mutual respect, a corporate action, could bring to everyone the blessings ot freedom. The Pan-American Union is cz vast experiment in linking country to country so that a world unknown to international distress may someday exist. Skeptics point out man's history as an evidence that international solidarity cannot exist except in time of dire emergency. On the contrary, the Pan-American Union is making history and making it in a far different pattern. Certainly nothing holds greater possibilities for the betterment of this World than the union ot the republics ot the Americas. Seated, Ielt to right: Betty Burr, Lewis Pino.

G .7 28 TO THOSE WHO SERVE OUR NATION OB more than a century the United States and the nations of South and Central America have steadily drawn closer in an effort to realize international cooperation and friendship. The Pan-American Union, since its inception, has constantly been a meqns' of fostering this unity among the twenty-one countries. Today, unfortunately, there exist nations who believe that power is of paramount importance, that might is the only cri- terion of right, that other people are inferior and must be en- slaved to the will of these totalitarian powers. As these misled nations have encroached upon the rights of free people, it is only natural that a bitter struggle has ensued. Now the Ameri- cas are called upon to defend their way of living and their belief in the effectiveness and necessity of international friendship. Our youth who have been educated for an active and success- ful role in peaceful pursuits are being summoned to devote their talents and lives to the defense of our freedom and to the exten- sion of our manner of living to the oppressed peoples of the world. From all parts of our nation men are responding to the call, determined that civilization as we know it shall exist and become better, no matter how powerful the forces of evil. The call to service has been felt and answered gladly in La Salle as in every other community. By this list of names, which is probably far from complete, though we have striven to make it so, we recognize those young men who are serving in the armed forces of their nation. We salute these former students of La Salle who are doing their utmost to show the world that good neighbors shall never succumb to totalitarian rule. 29 THOSE WHO ARE SERVING OUR NATION Frank Dell William Ford Frank Geschwender Harold Geschwender George Hubbard Bill Icrckson Richard Kenney ARMY Iohn Knorr Iohn Lewis Elwyn Lord Arthur Maxsom Iohn Maxsom Wallace McDonell Tom O'Flaherty Iarnes Woodcock lohn Auchu Ioe Bloomstine Robert Brown Harry Butler Bill Day Bob Day Elbridge Decker Bill Dugan Howard Embury Neil Connery Robert Dean Gerald Dixon KCAFJ Edward Drozek Douglas Iensen NAVY Richard Ferchen Bud Goppert Fred Gurman Eugene Herl Loren Hilts Graham Hume Eugene Krieger Bob McCarthy Kenneth McCullough MARINES Norman Nickerson AIR FORCE Edward Mayer Donald McDonald Gerald Misener Edmund Nowakowski 30 Duane William Raffle Reven Ruben Clark Seddinger Iames Shields Richard Schultz Elwood Tomkins Duane Truesdale Wright George Phillips Robert Phipps Harry Schisler Vincent Schmitt Gordon Townsend Iohn Van Horn Ralph Walker lack Weigel Bob Wolfe Burton Frank Bert Olson ' Edward Remus Alfred Wheeler Earle Wilmott SENIOR SNAPS Top row, left to right: Mitch and Dom compare notes.

Some have fallen by the wayside of knowledge: others have kept step with the steady beat of homework assignments. A few have succeeded in earning the pin symbolic of scholastic achievement. The coveted pin of gold is only partial compensation to these conscientious students for their co-operation and perseverance. The real reward is in the knowledge which these students have absorbed - knowledge and principles that will guide them safely through future years of chaos-knowledge and ideals that will help them choose wisely their friends and companions - knowledge and tolerance that will make for better co-opera- tion in a world so lacking in this quality. Thus it is that we, the members of the Senior Class of 1942, honor those who for six consecutive times have attained averages of over eighty-five per cent and have developed valuable personal attributes. These are our delegates to foster greater knowledge, better understanding, and finer appreciation and sympathy for all humanity. 32 THE UNSEEN WAY Mr. George B. Holt ............. ...............

Avvakened now, we take our stand To stem the tide of tyranny. Our youthful hopes and dreams demand A world controlled by liberty! Willingly We speed to take our place, Empowered by our unity, Assured by friendly neighbors' grace ln aiding us to victory. Encouraged thus, We shall maintain The principles for which We strive. Soon peace shall be obtained again, And freedom ever kept alive. RUTH REISIG Class Poet 34 CLASS WILL WE, the Class of 1942, leave our Alma Mater more mature than when we entered and with a broader conception of the responsibilities facing us. During our six years at LaSalle we have begun the molding of our future lives. We have had the advantages of a cooperative faculty and of the facilities nec- essary for our education. As we grow older and achieve our goals, we will look back, with longing remembrance, to the tireless efforts of the faculty and the friendliness they have shown toward us. Into the hearts of the undergrads we wish to instill this same feeling. We hope that they, too, will come to cherish the good will that exists between the students and the faculty. We also leave LaSalle with the pleasant memories of the unforgettable friends we have made. During and after school hours, we have learned the value of real comradeship. In our participation in the fields of sports, drama- tics, science, and music we have experienced and acquired a feeling of respect for the desires of others. We have come to appreciate our fellow students and to realize that these friendly relationships have been largely responsible for our happy and memorable years at LaSalle. To the future Seniors we wish to leave this same feeling of gratitude and appreciation for the friends they have the opportunity of making. Here in these beautiful surroundings of academic learning we have acquired a deep love and devotion for our school. It is here that we have created many of our dreams and desires. Many of these are as yet but vague visions. but they have seen the beginning of fulfillment. These have been a result of the opportunities and privileges offered us at LaSalle. We sincerely hope that those who are left behind will also see the advantages offered to them through their school. We bequeath them the desire to seize these oppor- tunities and to secure the greatest advantage possible from them. We, the Senior Class of 1942, are just beginning to realize the significance and implications of the education and the opportunities that have been offered to us. We have learned that, in order to secure that success and happiness which We all want, we must recognize our dependency upon our fellow men and must do everything in our power to help our friends and neighbors. We know that only through the application of the principles of mutual esteem, toleration, honesty, and assistance can the nations of the world establish the lasting peace necessary for the civilization of the future. We bequeath to the undergraduates of LaSalle a knowledge of these facts and hope that they will try sincerely to apply these principles in their daily lives. In this manner they can help to bring more quickly the presence of good will and neighbor- liness in every phase of life. These last bequests of the Senior Class have been incorporated by me in this document this seventeenth day of April, 1942. BETTY BURR Class Testator Witnesses: LEWIS PINO lOYCE WILSON 35 CLASS HISTORY WE, the Class of nineteen hundred and forty-two, started our buoyant voyage of education in the La Salle lunior-Senior High School in Sep- tember of 1936. Although we seemed to be mere specimens which the upper classes looked down upon, we knew we would have that privilege ourselves. Our first year was comparatively uneventful. It was a year in which we ob- tained many new acquaintances and friends who were to last throughout the six years. It was in the spring of 1937 that Lewis Pino was elected Vice-Presi- dent of the Iunior Council for the next year. That fall we again entered the thresholds of La Salle with a little more self-confidence than we had had the previous year. We knew that we had learned a great deal as seventh graders and that we were now prepared to take a more active part in school life. It was a year in which we engaged in various activities which proved beneficial. Before the school year was over Bob Baldwin was elected President of the Iunior Council for the next year. In 1938 we entered the ninth grade with the realization that this was to be our last year as junior high students. We organized our class with Iohn Walders as President and Daniel Gilbert as Vice-President. Our Secretary was William Schulmeister, while Ianet Fleming held the position of Treasurer. lt was a keen disappointment to many of us that we were to have no ceremony to mark our passage from junior into senior high. However, we soon decided to expend all our energies in making our Prom a notable event. Since it was probably the first real dance for almost all the members, we made it a gala occasion fitting for the distinctive and brilliant group which was to graduate in 1942. The fall of 1939 again brought school and the realization of the significant fact that we were now entering our first year of high school. It also brought with it new subjects and activities which kept all comparatively busy. The class was organized and supervised by Lewis Pino, President: and Edwin Pickett, Vice-President. When spring retumed to our fair school, we prepared to vie for the laurels of victory in the May Day program. Although on May Day we were not as successful as we might have been, we looked forward to the next year's contest. This competitive struggle brought out the fact that in order to win a class must co-operate to the fullest extent: and it also made it apparent that our class lost with good sportsmanship, a characteristic so essential to a citizen of the United States. As we entered the doors of school the next fall, we were full-fledged juniors. We placed ourselves under the capable leadership of William Palone, Presi- dent: Lewis Pino, Vice-President: Edwin Pickett, Secretary: and Dick Eldredge, Treasurer. When May Day came, we were able to benefit from the experience of the previous year and thus win a complete victory over the sophomore class. Mr. Simpson, our faculty adviser, aided much in promoting our success. 36 CLASS HISTORY At last the momentous year in our school careers arrived. Our pride knew no bounds when in September, 1941, we took upon ourselves the title of seniors. Early in the first semester we organized our class under the guidance of Mr. O'Brien, our adviser. President Lewis Pino, Vice-President Harold Dinger, Secretary Betty Burr, and Treasurer Robert Baldwin gave their best efforts to make our senior year a most successful one. As seniors we shall long be remembered for the enthusiasm which we demonstrated in all our activities. As other classes had done before us, we sold subscriptions to magazines to help swell our class funds. So great was our enthusiasm, initiative, and co-operation that we were given a party by the publishing company. Later we sponsored a theater party for the benefit of the Red Cross. The Onqiara Staff has worked long and hard in preparing for the publication of this book. This year book will go down in history as one of the best books ever to come from La Salle High School. Since the theme is the Goodwill Policy, the Ongiara Staff decided that it would be most ap- propriate to dedicate the book to the Pan-American Union. Plans were made and representatives were chosen to go to Washington where Doctor L. S. Rowe was to receive the formal dedication. The representatives for the dedication were Miss Lutts, Irene Marin, Mr. Bongiorno, Lewis Pino, Donald Bagwell, and Dominick Cutroneo. Our senior play was a thriller in every way, by name The Unseen Way. With a very capable cast, the play proved an even more successful one than those of previous years. This evening we all look back and even feel a bit of emptiness in our hearts which once were filled with the joys of our school days. As we leave the thresholds, we have a much more important role to play than any other class ever to graduate from La Salle. Our nation which has given us so much with such generosity is engaged in a bitter struggle for its very existence. It is up to us to preserve and protect our country from invasion and to maintain our democratic way of life. We, the Class of 1942, bid farewell to the days of our learning and go out to defend our liberties so that the wonderful opportunities of education can be carried on through the generations to come. We have learned that friendship and neighborliness are the only ways to happiness. In the future we shall and will make these qualities an essential part of our daily lives, and we shall work to see this ideal fostered and applied to inter- national relationships. LORETTA WAGNER IREN E WIN TERS CLASS HISTORIAN S. 37 CLASS PROPHECY WHEN I travelled to Buenos Aires in 1952 to cover the Pan-American Con- ference for my home newspaper, I met many of my former classmates who were living in South America and occupying influential positions. In- spired by the theme of the Ongiara, as true pioneers they had come here to do their bit to realize American solidarity. I left New York City for South America in December of the year 1952. My first day on the boat brought me in contact with Don Bagwell and his assistant, Richard Horton, who were covering the conference for a rival paper. I also came across Evelyn Wilson and Dorothy Dane who were getting the women's viewpoint of the meeting for their paper. A large part of my trip was spent in the companionship of my former school friends, Stella Easton and Robena Quinn, who were two vacationists. Imagine my surprise when I ventured into the ballroom and gazed upon the orchestra of Paul Camann and his Seven Serenaders. It was composed of Iohn Beaton, Dolores Schmidt, Daniel Gilbert, Helga Moll, Robert Reichert, Harold Kroening, and Hazel Sutton. The famous vocalist for the orchestra was Irene Winters. At the captain's table were seated Helen Howell, Miss Ongiara of 1942, and her friends, Ieanette Reisig, Patricia Ahern, Catherine Olds, Elizabeth Horek, and Audrey Iordon, who had been chosen as her attendants at that time. Upon my arrival at Buenos Aires I was greeted at the customs office by Donald Calkins and Edmund Fadel. They were also inspecting the bags of my old friends, Norma Britman and Frank Hoak, who were on their way to visit Carolyn Banks at her cattle ranch. I was then hailed by a person in a passing car and found to my amazement that it was driven by Bernard Man- fred. He took me to an excellent hotel, where I was welcomed by Iohn New- man. I found my way through the revolving, door and was then greeted by the hotel owner, Edwin Pickett: I was given my room by the co-owner, Daniel Jones. I found that in the room next to mine were William Rickert and Bob Rugar, who were correspondents for the South American newspaper, EL PANCHO. I enjoyed my first South American meal with the socialites Louise Palmiter, Louesa Imson, and Dorothy L. Iohnson. From the hotel I walked along the scenic streets of the city on my way to the first meeting of the conference. On the way I stopped at a quaint little fruit stand, owned by Dominick Cutroneo. He told me he had acquired a profit- able business and had three assistants, Richard Eldredqe, Ianet Drake, and Joseph Toscano. Walking through one of the city's beautiful parks, I stopped at a peanut vendor's cart. I was surprised when I was greeted by one of my school chums, Oscar Olsen. Inside the door of the State Building, I stopped at the Information Desk and asked the clerk, Marie Ackerson, in what room the meeting was. In the elevator I met several American diplomats, Gordon McCombs, Ioyce Cross, Lois Hall, Robert Baldwin, Alice Reilly, and Norman Scott. I continued to the conference room and was escorted to my seat by the usher, Betty Schulmeister. I noticed that I was seated near the Chilean representatives, Norma Kenney, Elizabeth Lingenfelter, David Watts, and 38 CLASS PROPHECY Harold Wienke. Nearby were the Argentine representatives, Herbert Smith. Warren Stinebring, Robert Matthews, and Isabel Kobler. These were a few of the many people from our Senior Class who had become interested in South America. The chairman, William Palone, then called the meeting to order and proceeded with the business of the day. While this was going on, I noticed that the honor guests, Lavon Schweitzer, Iacquelyn Simpson, Bruce Winkworth, Iohn Butler, Malcolm Day, and Ioyce Rogerson, were putting the finishing touches on their speeches. The American Representative, Lewis Pino, was the first speaker of the day. After his speech and those of the honor guests the first meeting was adjourned. On the way out of the building I no- ticed many familiar faces among the crowd of representatives. Some of these were Ieanne McCabe, Sophia Nowakowski, Stephania Padlo, Elda Raverinni, Robert Hughes, Dorothy Hughes, Orval Myers, Kenneth Beales, and Dora Marshall. After receiving a copy of the minutes of the meeting from the secre- tary, Vivian Aube, to aid me in the write-up for my newspaper, I went back to my hotel. Later I donned my dinner clothes and went out for a joyous evening in one of the city's gay night spots. The club, La Cucaracha, was managed by Iohn Cosby and Gloria Fisch. My hat and coat were checked by Ruth Reisig and Elizabeth Mathews, who were very attractive in their South American cos- tumes. As I was on the way to my table, I stopped for a moment and was fascinated by the motions of Iohn Peterson, who was mixing a South American beverage. While watching, I was hailed by Harold Dinger, who invited me to join the party of vacationists at his table. Here I met Marfa Alexander, Ed- ward DeVantier, Martha Howell, Edward Mayer, and Gordon Russell. lust then the house lights were dimmed, and the floor show began. The Mistress of Ceremonies was Rosalyn Webber. The first number on the program was an adagio dance by Bethea MacMullin and William Burns. This act was fol- lowed by the stunts of the Three living Iugglers, Lawrence Cuddahee, Bernard Geelan, and Paul Shandley. The last act was presented by the world-famous South American Chorus. As I looked along the front line, I noticed Theresa Aube, Ianet Fleming, Irene Marin, Anita Schul, Loretta Wagner, Ioyce Wilson, Lorraine Young, and Rose Zachacki. Ernest Geschwender, the singing star of the group and also the manager, sang the well-known song, Good Neighbors, written by Dorothy Deweese and Helma DeVantier. Iust as I was prepared to leave the club, I was summoned to the office of the owners. When I opened the door, I was amazed by the sight of my old friends, Donald Deslardin, Maurice Barnes, and Ieanette Graham, who I learned owned the club. They told me that a party had been arranged for Leah Boudreau, Alice McMaster, Mary Lindsay, Raymond LeBlanc, and Beth Stube. Betty Finley, Amelia Sauro, and Robert Strasburg had been invited to attend but because of business conditions could not come. Although I wanted to go very much, I had to rise early the next morning for the conference: I expressed my regrets and bade them goodnight. 39 CLASS PROPHECY Bright and early the next morning I arose to attend the final meeting of the conference. The business was quickly disposed of, and I left the building. While walking back to my hotel, I thought of the importance of the great pact that had been signed by our country and the South American nations. It repre- sented in every Way the good will that existed between the peoples of this hemisphere. Before leaving for home, I decided to visit outside the city at the rancho of Muriel Switzer. Upon arriving at the rancho, I observed several dudes, Lynn Kaumeyer, Kenneth Pasch, Edward Morgan, Donald Moodie, Thomas Payne. and Robert Simmons, enjoying the bronco busting tactics of Iames Thayer. I went into the house and was welcomed by my hostess. Here we were served refreshments by Anne Anderson. After a pleasant visit, I left for my hotel to pack my bags for my return trip home. A few hours later I found myself on the main deck of the U.S.S. Goodwill. whose captain was Edwin Gassner. As the boat slowly moved away from the dock, a South American all-girl orchestra composed of Mildred Berger, Isabel Embury, Dorothy F. Iohnson, Luella Iohnson, Edith Krieger, Gladys Kroening, Eileen McCarthy, Ruth Mclfeaters, and the leader, Lois Redans, played songs of farewell. After the strains of the music of the orchestra had died away, the steward, Willis Moore, showed me to rny cabin. I changed into my sport clothes and went on deck for an afternoon of shuffleboard and deck tennis. I enjoyed shuffleboard with debutantes Beatrice Goldberg, Betty Al- corn, and Phyllis Starkey. While we were playing, I noticed Carmella Rizzo, Ianet Pack, Marion Ross, and Ina Hart, the ship's hostesses, also enjoying the game with several of the passengers. After this I wandered around the decks, observing other passengers enjoy- ing the sport facilities of the modern liner. At the swimming pool I noticed lane Shafer, Mary Swearengen, and Iean Wiseman giving an exhibition of fancy diving. Sitting around the pool, basking in the warm sunshine, were several of the American diplomats' secretaries, Marianna Wethy, Marilyn Young, Iane Schrack, and Marion Phillips. Five days later I arrived at New York. After the joyous greeting of my friend, Betty Burr, I went to my offices at the newspaper and made the final report on the conference. This concluded my trip. As I look back on these happy days, I can still remember the friendly atti- tude of South America that still exists today. Only yesterday I was talking with several of my senior class friends who told me how much the theme for our yearbook had influenced their lives. This is only as it should be for, when the United States and South America are friends, the people are bound to lead a better and more useful life. RICHARD HARVEY Class Prophet 40 IESVTEIIDHANTIES HISTORY OF THE UNDERGRADUATE CLASSES CLASS OF 1943 Through their active interest and dependability, these undergraduates of La Salle have shown themselves to be worthy of the responsibility and com- plex problems of their senior year. Their excellent support of senior activities and projects was appreciated by the seniors and will prove beneficial to these juniors in the year of their graduation. CLASS OF 1944 The sophomore class has exhibited fine loyalty and school spirit which have helped greatly to make this year so successful and enjoyable. Backing our teams loyally through victory and defeat, they have earned the name of true and sincere La Sallians. CLASS OF 1945 The ninth grade class brought its junior high school career to an eventful close. Through their good fellowship and earnest endeavor, these students have formed the foundation of future leadership and success. Last year they sponsored a very successful Hallowe'en Party, and as seventh graders they took active part in the annual Spring Concert of the city schools. CLASS OF 1946 Although this class has been at La Salle only two years, it has already become an essential part of all school activities through its friendly spirit of co-operation and good will. Their support of the senior play was vital to the interests of the school. In their clubs they have shown promising abilities as organizers. CLASS OF 1947 The members of the prospective class of 1947 have actively participated in our Good Neighbor program which follows the theme of this 1942 Ongiara. They have faithfully supported every effort that our school has made for National Defense. In salvaging, collection of paper and books for soldiers. they helped to keep La Salle in the lead at all tirnes. 42 OFFICERS OF THE UNDERGRADUATE CLASSES President ...........................

M iss Dunn ODAY international cooperation among the democracies of the world has become paramount in importance: therefore, all students must learn to consider the desires and welfare of the rest of their companions in all schol- astic activities. A fine example of the ability of students to adapt themselves to cooperative activity is the Senior Council. Since the colorful election in 1941, our officers have guided the student body of La Salle through a successful year. The Council first of all laid plans for the introduction next tall of the long awaited activity tickets which will enable students to participate in more school activities at extremely reason- able rates. In the Winter the sale of basketball pins enlivened student enthu- siasm for the sport. Above all, this year's Council will long be remembered for sponsoring a contest to produce an Alma Mater for La Salle. Bottom row, left to right: M. Pearson, N. Britman, K. Adams, M. Barrington. B.

Q Miss Yossie Mr. Schwinger LMOST as soon as students enter La Salle Iunior High, they become con- scious of the importance of the Iunior Council. They realize that the Council offers them a Valuable opportunity to take part in the activities of the school. In the meetings the officers of each home room are encouraged to express their opinions and suggestions about the problems and projects of the school. This experience certainly prepares young students to participate more fully and more confidently in their scholastic activities later. This year the support of this group has been appreciated by all the students. They have helped to make the paid assemblies and the campaign for waste paper a huge success. Thus, as the United States and her Latin American neighbors work together in mutual accord, so does the Iunior Council co- operate with the Senior Council. Bottom row, left to right: I. MacLeod, G.

Schwinger IN 1938, the traffic squad was reorganized for the purpose of maintaining effective regulations in the corridors of La Salle. It was put under the leadership of a chief, who had the assistance of captains and other officers. Since then it has developed into a very essential part of our school organization. Recognition must be given to Mr. Schwinger whose advice and counsel have been largely responsible for the success of the squad. Commendation must also be extended to Lewis Pino, capable chief, and to the squad itself for the beneficial and necessary services its members have performed. With- out the whole-hearted co-operation of the student body, this organization would be meaningless. As it is, it has promoted safety and efficient traffic conditions through friendly and courteous relations with the students of La Salle. Bottom row: G. Fisch, I. Fleming, L. Hall, B. Goldberg, I.

O Brien THE Council has charge of posting appropriate signs and slogans about the halls in an attempt to make us utilize safe habits constantly in all phases of everyday life. The Council has gained further recognition this year by publishing a safety column in several editions of the Griffon. A recently organized addition to the regular Safety Council is the Bicycle Safety Club. It is composed of about twenty representatives from all classes, with Oscar Olsen as captain. This group regulates bicycle traffic around the school and sees that all bicycles are properly parked and locked before school each morning. The entire Safety Council has done its part in attempting to make the student body more safety-minded. It is up to us to practice these principles through individual effort and group co-operation. Remember-the time to practice safety is all the timel Seated, left to right: W. Taylor, A. Hiltz, N. Britman, K. Adams, E. Cochrane, Mr. O'Brien. Standing, Ie!! to right: R. Bechtel, E. Forknall, I.

Whitman DURING this school year the Social Committee has done a good job of promoting a general feeling of companionship and good will among the students. This year, as usual, tag dances after school have proved very popular, as have the evening terpsichorean sessions. Of course, behind the scenes of these dances, careful plans and smooth, efficient operations are essential. The need for selecting a popular orchestra, carrying out appropriate decorating schemes, and maintaining a competent check-room service is apparent. Besides these things, however, there are other details which must be considered. Members must see that tickets or tags are printed and sold, must stimulate enthusiasm by clever advertising, and must care financially for these projects. Consequently, the work of the Social Committee should be given due credit in our school's progress. First row left to right: C. Paige, M. Vitullo, N. Iones, R. Reisig, M. Thompson, D. Zal-res.

Barlow NOTABLE to all who attended the Operetta and the Senior Play were those students who acted as ushers. The objective of the Staff of Ushers is to offer assistance to the student body and the public at all school functions in the afternoon or evening. During the second term the Staff assumed a new duty, that of welcoming visitors who came to enjoy our assembly programs. Members of the Staff must be dependable, pleasant, and at all times con- siderate ot the people whom they are serving. The work of the members really has a two-fold result. In the first place all ushers acquire a sense of self-possession and poise from their activity. Furthermore, the efforts of the Staff are worthy in the fact that these representatives of the school foster the good will and co-operation of the friends of La Salle who come to visit us.

The fact that our President has declared that a feeling of good-will exists between the countries will mean very little if our citizens themselves do not do their part. We must have an understanding of the affairs of the world today and be able to discuss them clearly and intelligently. The debating team this year has had valuable experience in public speaking and debating. Extensive research in books and periodicals has kept them well informed at all times. Tryouts for the debating team were held in Novem- ber, and the members chosen began the task of writing their speeches for the league debates. Those selected were as follows: Stella Easton, Dorothy Dane, and Lewis Pino for the affirmative: Isabel Kohler, Frank Hoak, and Robert Baldwin for the negative. The subject for this year was this question: Resolved, that every able-bodied male citizen should have one year of full time military service, before reaching the present draft age. This topic proved very interesting, since it was directly connected with major news events of the day. Seated, left to right: Robert Baldwin, Stella Easton, Mr. Barlow. Dorothy Dane. Isabel Kohler.

Auchmoody IN our complex society of the present time there are many organizations who do their work behind the scenes. These groups are certainly good neigh- bors because they contribute their utmost in co-operation so that the work of those in the spotlight may be an unqualified success. Such an organization is the stage crew. Through extensive study and hard work the stage crew has learned the operation of the various stage appliances. They have been responsible for the construction of properties and scenery for the plays, musi- cals, and other programs that are presented in the auditorium. They have also spent many hours after school in order to insure the success of these programs. Much of the success of the stage crew can be attributed to the guidance of Mr. Auchmoody, who has taught these boys the fundamentals of the work which they do. Thanks and recognition should also be given to the boys who compose the stage crew for the friendliness and cooperation they have shown and for the benefit they have been to the school.

Weekly meetings were held where each division reported its ideas and progress to the general group. Many times changes and com- promises became necessary, but the staff always reached an agreement in a friendly manner. Every member has contributed his talent and ability to this yearly publication which plays such an important part in a student's life at La Salle. The first problem of the staff was the choice of a theme. There was a pro- found desire among them to choose a theme which would reflect some move- ment or problem of national significance. A great many suggestions were made, each of which expressed the patriotic feeling that we all have at this time. When the Good Neighbor Policy was suggested as the theme, members agreed unanimously upon it. Pan-American friendship and its importance to the success of the Americas has been brought out by the staff in many ways. The annual yearbook assembly featured a South American night club on our own stage. Billy Thompson's orchestra provided the music for our Club Rio, and various staff members furnished entertainment for the floor show. Seated at brightly decorated tables were the staff editors, who were introduced as celebrities. Seated, left to right: Stella Easton.

M rs Davis AS HAS always been the case, the newspaper has a powerful influence upon international relationships. It lies in the power of editors to effect a better understanding and a more friendly atmosphere between the peoples of different nations. In its own small sphere and among its own public the school newspaper has a similar task. A newpaper must steadily improve and set for itself greater aims. This year our paper has increased its circulation by making the paper larger, thus providing more news and interesting columns for the subscribers. The high quality and standards which the student body expects of their school news- paper has been maintained throughout the past year. The Staff has obtained invaluable experience both through learning how to work together and learn- ing how to publish a newspaper. This will undoubtedly benefit them when they leave La Salle to make their way in a world which has need ot good neighbors. Standing, L. Wager. Ielt to right: D. Calkins, D. Brua, I. Toscana, D.

M iss Gray 0FTEN it has been said that music hath charm, and no better good-will messengers could one ask for than a choir of young voices raised in melodious song. Our own Alma Mater has such a musical group which brings good cheer and an uplifting in the heart of every listener. The talent displayed by these young men and women is always a source of pleasure to all who hear them. Frequently this organization contributes its talent for the enjoyment of the school. On the occasion of Christmas 1941, they took part in an inspiring, truly magnificent assembly program which included many well-known and loved carols of the season. On the last day of school, before classes were dismissed for the Christmas holidays, the halls resounded with their har- monious caroling of joyous noels so characteristic of the Yuletide. With the coming of warmer days, the choir participates in a festival of song known as the Spring Concert. Graduation brings this group into view again as they sigq at the Baccalaureate Sjyimp' Xl, .

The band lends enthusiastic support to all football games both by music and by formation marching between halves. At the close of the football season, the band alternates with the orchestra in supplying the music for assembly programs. Each May the band collaborates in the presentation of a Spring Concert. Thus, it is apparent that the band contributes materially to school activities and does its part to increase the perception of the finer things which all of us must have to appreciate life and its opportunities for fellowship.

The seventh graders who are now admitted to the orchestra will have six full years of orchestral experience when they graduate and should be fitted to step into any college orchestra with confidence. The junior and senior orchestra units were combined last fall and thus secured a complete symphonic instrumentation with the excep- tion of a bassoon. The orchestra affords an enjoyable opportunity for students really interested in music and teaches notonly a greater appreciation of musical principles but also the importance and necessity for co-operation and unity in any group. l 70 ATILIETAS ATHLETIC SNAPS BASKETBALL Reading from the bottom up, cmd from left to right: Up in the air On guard Cosby shoots Down but non out Is it good?

Thus it is that athletics can serve to unite these nations of America with friendly bonds. particularly after the stress of war has ended. Let us hope that the Olympic ideal may become ever more prominent as the Americas draw closer together. Football at La Salle has offered these opportunities to our students. Since only four letter men returned this fall, the remainder of the squad were new. The work of the players can be appreciated when we consider the words of Coach Krum: The boys played exceptionally well, considering the competi- tion. They all tried hard, and the co-operation with the coaches was excellent. Team spirit was high. The scores, as viewed by the Monday Morning quarter- backs, might seern to contradict these statements. However, there were other benefits to be derived as the players discovered. SCHEDULE Date La Salle pponent September 26 ., ,..... ,....... 0 ....... , ..,...........

Q M I - M fmfred Mr. Krum ON THE basketball court La Salle once again fought against tremendous odds to turn out a winning team. The season was disastrous as far as this aim was concerned, but there are other elements that must be considered before a season can be called a failure. At all times the boys showed courage, a willingness to try. a refusal to quit, and good sportsmanship in the face of defeat. Thus, in spite of their losses, the players gained much in those char- acteristics that are so much a part of the valuable training given by at letics. The team was coached during the first part oi the season by r. nfred. The remainder of the year the players were guided by Co . men expressed hopes of a winning team next season in v'ew o he le showing of the younger members of this year's squ W M at ' if ,J Wat Kneeling, Eldredge. ls 74 XKJSPV 1 XWJP t , so iglriwmffa X U JUNIOR VARSITY ALTHOUGH the members of the Iunior Varsity never have the spotlight position on the basketball program, they do occupy an important position in La Salle athletics. These are the boys who work long and conscientiously to train themselves to become better and more valuable players. From these boys come the future members ot La Salle's varsity basketball team. This year the Iunior Varsity is to be commended for its splendid work in maintaining a keen spirit and in helping to keep up the morale of the whole squad and the student body. The members have all shown good fighting spirit and have taken part in some oi the best performances on the court. In their games they have demonstrated abilities which give fine promise of a well-balanced, well-coordinated team next year. L, Q L ' 1 ln.,-Q',W,fJll.. Y Seated left to right: H. Schrader, V.

Mr. Bernard Manfred W'ITH high hopes La Salle entered its third year of competition in Niagara Frontier Tennis. The prospects seemed bright as the team won from Trott and Lockport. However, disaster overtook them when they lost to Niag- ara Falls, Kenmore, Tonawcrnda, and North Tonawanda. It remained for the spring schedule to indicate the success of La Salle in tennis competition. An increasing interest has been noticed in this sport. This fact has been shown clearly by the greater number of boys who have become interested in the rapid action of the game and have taken part in intramural tennis. It is apparent that the competition between schools on the tennis court has com- pelled a greater desire to enjoy the sportsmanship and friendship afforded by the game.

Manfred HIS year, as usual, the golf season opened almost as soon as school began. Most of the boys from last year's team reported at once and immediately began to get in shape for the encounters with other schools in our league. The members of the team this year were Malcolm Day, Harold Dinger, Ber- nard Manfred, and Robert Reichert. Although they lost to Kenmore, Niagara Falls, and Trott in the fall schedule, the team looked forward to a more suc- cessful spring campaign. Golf is now in its seventh year at La Salle. It is unfortunate that so few students participate in this game for it offers fine training in the value of accuracy, co-operation, and good sportsmanship. Let us hope that. as the game continues at La Salle, it will arouse more interest and become one of the popular sports. Seated, left to right: Bernard Manfred, Malcolm Day, Robert Reichert.

In La Salle High School the Inter-Club Council works to attain the same objective among the fraterni- ties. sororities, and clubs. During its three years of existence the Council has offered material help to the member organizations in planning worthwhile schedules and settling difficult problems. The Council has also sponsored the Inter-Club Reporter Whose task it is to keep the student body informed of all school activities. This year Donald Bagwell fulfilled the duties of this position. Let us hope that the Council constantly becomes a more influential body in promoting school activity and fellowship. MEMBERS SIGMA PSI: Paul Camann, Harold Dinger. ALPHA KAPPA EPSILON: Irene Marin.

Bongiorno HE fraternity this year has enjoyed one of the most successful years since its founding. Many students in school have the opinion that the organiza- tions are to be joined only to have fun. This is entirely erroneous. Before be- coming a full-fledged member, all candidates have to learn the rules and regulations of the club. They must know the constitution thoroughly so that they will not be at a loss in the meetings. This insistence upon rules in the organization brings about a greater sense of co-operation between members of the group. The members also get very good training in public speaking and a useful knowledge of governmental operations. The Sigma Psi makes an effort to understand current problems of our life by frequently inviting speakers to the meetings. Thus the fraternity does help the student to become an active member of society, one who can contribute his share to making the world a place of good neighbors. 80 f+ssAfi-.f ff' .tr ,Q , :ws W Jff. dau 5 2 5 lr' 1 K. rig- .QJQQQ W, .VXA I fvr,-1 ' - -fy ' .lg 7:1 vu' .fav .t . . y r 1 K' ' ',-vL'Ol ' Vx? ft.. .

M i ss Anita Soboleski EVER since 1937 when the Zeta Tau Iota Sorority was first organized in this school, it has supported the school's activities to the best ot its ability. With Miss Dunn at first and later Miss Soboleski as faculty adviser, the soror- ity has steadily progressed and has accomplished many undertakings. The meetings enable the members to discuss their ideas and promote a more friendly relationship. During the year, several banquets are given, and vari- ous projects are held to raise money. The sorority contributes to charitable organizations as is illustrated by the tact that ct card party and fashion show were recently held for the benefit of the Girl Scouts. Each year at Christmas time, when the school collects baskets of food and money, the sorority donates a sum to this worthy cause. With zeal, truth, and high ideals as their motto. together with a scholastic requirement, Zeta Tau Iota proves to be a worth- while organization and one which is spreading good will within our own country. 81 1 I ' x ' 'f' ' QS I fig r Q, R' . i LA SALE ,fi 'Q r fv'v- -Apf' ff f Standing, left' to D.

When, in the second term, it became necessary to clarify some of the issues facing the club, the members proceeded to revise the constitution. A very important article in the new document was that which instituted new regulations tor the selection and pledging of candi- dates for entrance. The purpose oi the new provisions was to emphasize to the pledges that they were becoming members of an organization which had as its aim extremely worthwhile objectives. During the course of the year several speakers were invited to address the members upon subjects both entertaining and valuable. Thus, it is apparent that the club has striven con- scientiously to emphasize the importance of Hi-Y ideals and activities. 82 ,f-J, gf N ,ul WW J J CWIJM an ,mlm fl riff' .

M I S- 14011156 Wright Wsers iMrs. Elizabeth Whitman IN May of 1935 eleven girls, with Mrs. Louise Wright as faculty adviser, organized the La Salle Girls' Hi-Y. The group adopted the purpose of the National Hi-Y clubs: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Members were to be chosen, in the following years, according to their scholastic record and their participation in the activities of the school. The girls in the Hi-Y during this year have enjoyed a program which of- fered educational and social opportunity and practical experience in business management. The main business undertaking was a series of dances after basketball games. These dances proved a fine chance for La Salle and other high school students to get together for a few hours of real fun. In lune the annual installation banquet and dance was held at a downtown hotel. A weekend at the lake, the most anticipated event of every Hi-Y year, brought the members together for a time which every senior will never forget. Hi-Y members, in keeping with the club purpose, carried out their pledge to do their best in extending good will and friendship among all people of the La Salle High School. 83 ' 0 'N Vbfgb WW ALPHA KAPPA EPSILON Seated, left to right: V.

After several weeks of pledging, the new girls were for- mally initiated at a banquet held at the Hotel Niagara. Since that time several parties have been given. This sorority is a fine example of the friendship and cooperation that can exist between a group of people. Its girls act as one person determined to reach a goal that is worth while. This fact is clearly indicated by the purpose of the organization: to improve the spirit of service, develop willingness to cooperate: sponsor the right kind of leadership, evaluate personality, create pride and interest in having responsibility: teach proper qualities of good citi- zenship and instill a desire to move forward and not rest on past achieve- ment. 84 NYU' ff'vff:f 'aJiy.f'll THE LA SALLIAN DEBS MW f Seated, left to right: H.

The purpose of the sorority is to promote friendship, to develop good character and personality, and to train the girls to co-operate with others. Membership is limited to girls in the senior department of the high school. All candidates for entry must take an active part in La Salle activities and must have passing marks in their school work. Meetings are held every two weeks at member's homes. After the business meeting, entertainment is usually furnished by speakers who are obtained by a special committee. Among their many activi- ties the Debs have had a card party and a raffle. Pledging also has taken up a great deal of their time. Although only in existence for a few years, the sorority has kept growing in popularity and reputation as a friendly organi- zation. 85 ,9, .ff f ' ,211-wlwl jfvfapeffvetf ffevygffv-f-QCQQ .- U!!

Last fall the organization expended every effort to make its first formal initiation significant and memorable to the pledges. The members also seized every opportunity to give their cooperation to the local, state, and national Hi-Y councils. Besides these activities, the boys took full advantage of the sport program at the Y.M.C.A. which offered them the chance to engage in friendly rivalry with other groups. Although it is still an organization young in years, Delta Omega has already made itself known because it has done its part to foster friendly relations. 86 LA NIA Seated, left to right: M.

Dohn ONE ideal and aim of the Good Neighbor Policy is the cultivation of toler- ance in the Americas. Since tolerance is a quality so seldom found in this world of war and race hatred, any organization which attempts to develop this quality has a great and worthwhile task before it. Appropriate to this ideal then is the motto of La Nia: Know thyself, and have tolerance toward others. In its own sphere the sorority can help to make this noble ideal a more vital part of our existence. La Nia is a comparatively new organization which has just completed its first year as a member of the Inter-Club Council. The girls are putting forth every effort to contribute their best to La Salle High. At the same time they have already taken an active part in working for the Red Cross and Bundles for Britain. With such activities the sorority can look forward to a bright future. 87 I - , 'Il V '5T'wf A 'I f ,wh 22 jf4' 0fAQ Wm Q- Q I A Tc0G'RApHS HQUQSIQ ow ucvfu KLZDZZU ZBA., 0 l -fx 2, jg 7 Fm-M y M W, A my M my 'iff ?M,L WJ V Q ' , WMM' M M W1 XOMWQ - ' S QQ 5 VM WL MEM WX X MMAM W1 ww If-fg NQQQQYQ ,qw sb A ',,jl.Z-y'.
