The essence of that service was a response to the command of Christ, Go forth and teach all nations. For one hundred years De La Salle has brought to her children the truly illuminating influence of the faith of Christ. Hence is the significance of the title of our annual Fides.', In Fides 48 we have attempted to offer pictorially and briefiy in text a review of the centenary year of Alma Mater. It has been our good fortune to have come to De La Salle. May this book serve in the future to warm the cockles of our hearts with refurbished memories of our days at De La Salle. As time goes by, the more shall we realize how fortunate it was for us to have been De La Salle men. Into the story of the present year we have essayed to weave threads from the last one hundred. Through the wholesome nostalgic medium of Currier and Ives scenes we have retrieved a bit of nineteenth century atmosphere. Also by reference to our grand forebears we acknowledge our great debt to tradition. Alma Mater, De La Salle is one hundred years great. May our loyalty insure and strengthen that greatness for years to come. -CLASS or '48 1948 5 1848 6 View of New York from jersey City 1849 fCurrier and Ivesj 1848 - D. L.

From De La Salle Institute in New York to Sacred Heart College in California, from 1848 to 1948, the Brothers have contributed much to the Church in America. This Christian education during so many years has profoundly influenced the tenor of Catholic life in America. The wide expanse of this diffusion is indicated in messages of congratulations from bishops in all parts of the United States. Here on the Pacific Coast we have already celebrated the jubilee with fitting words and ceremony. It is most proper that in grateful memory we offer personal congratulations to our high school Alma Mater, De La Salle Institute. Praying every blessing upon the Brothers and the alumni, I am Faithfully yours, ' JOHN j. MITTY, Archbishop of San Francisco Most Rev. John Mitty D.D., Archbishop of San Francisco. UEUEATIUN Most Reverend Archbishop, we the class of 1948 are proud to acknowl- edge a common fellowship in the Alumni of our great Alma Mater. In such consideration and regarding you as Alma Mater's most distinguished living Alumnus and great custodian of our holy faith we are delighted to dedicate to you our annual, Fides '48. -CLASS or '48 1948 9 1848 l i 1 10 SAINT IOI-IN BAPTIST DE LA SALLE. Founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, Canonized by His Holiness Leo XIII., May 24, 1900. Saint John Baptist De La Salle founded the Brothers of the Christian Schools in 1680 for the purpose of bringing a Christian education to the poor. In doing the same Saint La Salle promoted the greatest possible gesture of constructive sociological revolution. Since 1681 his disciples have spread their efforts throughout the world. The tremendous value of his great work is incalculable. Still it goes on heartening and leavening society with the teachings of Christ. ....f.f 1,3 ' ' I A-.V ' . 4' 4 1 if, , fx.

To the strength of his nobility he brought a great sanctity, which combination was so necessary for the great task he was to undertake. His institute was approved by Pope Benedict XIII.

Distinguished for one hundred years of vigorous Apostalate, it is also the first foundation of the Brothers of the Christian Schools in the United States directly from Europe. In one hundred years the efforts of these four missionary Brothers have taken on great proportion. In the United States presently there are sixteen hundred Brothers conducting almost one hun- dred establishments.

BROSNAN at of the Christian Brothers in the United States Metropolitan Opera House, April 19, 1948 Mr. John Brosnan. May it please your Eminence, Mr. Chairman, Your Excellencies and the other dis- tinguished guests of the Christian Brothers, Very Reverend Assistant Superior General and Brothers, Ladies and Gentlemen: In 1938, at the Convocation commemorating the Diamond Jubilee of Manhattan College, Father Gannon, the speaker of the occasion, began one of his inimitable addresses by telling us that in 1848 four Christian Brothers from France landed in New York to open a school on Canal Street, that the next day one of the news- papers carried a cartoon showing the four Brothers standing at the waterside weeping copious tears while a sailing vessel receded toward a distant France, and that the cartoon bore the caption The Jesuits Lament for Their Native Land. But it was not long before the Christian Brothers made their name and their fame known not only in Little Old New York but throughout the length and the breadth of America. Perhaps this was due to their wholehearted devotion to their one vocation - teaching. Certainly, it owed much to their unselfish labors among the poor. Clearly, it marked the blessing of God upon their extraordinary self-sacrifices. De La Salle, their founder, hailed by the Church as a Saint, and acclaimed by the learned as one of the great educators of all time, laid down for the sons who would bear his name and carry on his work precise rules for the conduct of their lives and their labors. Bearing the imprint of the Divine tire which flamed so steadily in his pure and humble heart, they meet and satisfy today, in modern America, every test just as they did when formulated by him in France in the Seventeenth Century. Following such basic pattern, the education which the Christian Brothers impart rests not on the triangular base of the three R's, but upon the more realistic and sounder four-square foundation of Reading, 'Riting, 'Rithmetic and Religion. This turning to God is the very core of their educational system - constantly renewed in the daily dedication which they make of their persons, their pupils, their communities, their houses of foundation and their entire Congregation. The Civic Reception Marking the Centenary of the Work The thoughtful man, who knows in his heart that such turning to God is the crying need of our world, can truly evaluate the measure of the Brothers' influence as it has radiated into every quarter of the globe and permeated through every strata of society, through the lives and the works of the boys trained by them to ome effective citizens of the world, while remaining simple children of bec their Creator. Nor is it a matter of surprise to the thoughtful man that today sixteen hundred Brothers carry on where a hundred years ago four began, and that five colleges, scattered from Coast to Coast - from my beloved Alma Mater, Manhattan, in New York, to St. Mary's, of the Moraga Valley, in California, cap the educational efforts of the Brothers in America, while zealous, unsung labors in more than eighty parochial and secondary schools constitute the rock upon which their work is safely builded. . During the Franco-Prussian War, a famous French general, commenting upon the work of the Christian Brothers, then engaged because of the times - not in the task of teaching, but in merciful labors for the wounded and the dying, said Certainly, the Brothers deserve well of the people. This is as true of the teaching labors of the Brothers as it is of their works of mercy, as true in America today as it was in France then. Therefore, it is quite in accord with the eternal fitness of things that tonight you who constitute this vast assemblage gather to honor the Christian Brothers, and that the foremost representatives of City, of State, of Nation and of Church proclaim, as they so eloquently will, the debt of gratitude which the people, irrespective of race, creed or color, owe to these humble, simple, sincere, self-sacrificing men who have wrought so gloriously for God, for Church and for Country. But how much greater is the debt of those for whom I am privileged to speak, we who bear the accolade Brothers' Boy. Brothers' Boy, at once the mark of a sound education and a bond of affection between a boy and a man. And as that education withstands so well the demands of life, that bond grows and strengthens, so that the man of sixty is just as proud as the lad of twelve to be called a Brothers' Boy. Brothers' Boys! One can see them all, stretching back through all the hun- dred years -- rank upon serried-rank - like the dream of Mr. Chips: Hayes and Mundeleing Cohalan, Dowling, Lavelle, Cotter, Cotillo, Ferrer, Ridder, Smith, Sullivan, Stapleton, McEntegart, McGoldrick - a mighty host - marching, ever marching - under the Banner of the Brothers. Cardinal Hayes stating: Dear old Manhattan, how I love her, and, Oh! How I love to honor my old teachers, the Christian Brothers. Al Smith saying: I never forget all I owe to Brother Baldwin of old St. James. Al1'of them proclaiming - constantly proclaiming - their debt and their devotion. So, Very Reverend Assistant Superior General, on behalf of all these boys, I gladly proclaim in the presence of this vast assemblage the immeasurable debt we owe to your Brothers - our teachers and our friends. I offer through you to them our congratulations upon this great jubilee, and our pledge of continued loyalty. I pray God that we may catch and hold some of their flaming fervor, and so forever keep unsullied that title of true nobility which belongs to all of us who have come under the teaching influence of the Christian Brothers- Brothers' Boy. 1948 17 1848 1948 Brother Paul, Principal and John Carolan, President of Student Council.

We have here at De La Salle a magic pinball machine, which is legal, that forecasts the future of our illus- trious graduates. Let's see what happens. We pull back the lever of our machine and let fly a ball which goes up the slot and hits the first pin which lights up jack Carolan. Good old J. C. is the horse's best friend. He now owns a stable, which he calls home, of horses all of which pull junk carts and milk wagons. jack is a good breeder of horses but does little breathing while working. Next the ball bounces off the cushion marked Gillen. Ken was referred to in one of the copies of the Record as Golden voiced Kenny. In his business he still uses his voice to promote the sale of fish at the Fulton Fish Market. There is a dull light as the ball strikes another pin. No wonder it is the name of Ed. Donnelly that is inscribed on it. I came upon him one day in 1967 wearing a candle on his head because someone called him light- headed. Now Ed has bought up all the salt water in the world and is renting it to the beaches for swimming purposes. Joe Bissell is lit up next. joe always loved uniforms that's why he joined the National Guard. With every advance in rank he got a new uniform. He was so far advanced that for falling asleep at his post one day the army got him a special uniform with stripes all around and P.W. marked on the back. The ball caroons off the pin with Ben Man- daro's name on it. Ben was always a big gun at D.L.S. and, if you will pardon the expression, played the accordian. Little is known of Ben because at the tender age of 20 he slipped in the tub where he made his cheese and was never heard of again. As the ball thunders down the machine it is knocked for a loop as it hits the pin of Alessio Matera. He was the picture-taking genius of 4A in his prime but was never sued by us for defamation of character but we could have a case. In fact we could have two cases, one a case against Tess and the other a case of brew for 4A. The only way he makes money is by selling the negatives for stink bombs. joe Smith opened an antique shop at the age of 99 but soon closed because he was the oldest thing in the shop. He now has a job of holding up the Brooklyn Bridge but don't tell the cops. As the word Spumoni lights up on a pin it can only mean Larry Marchiony. He has revolutionized the ice cream industry by getting it direct from the cows. The only trouble is where can you put the money? George Kreese's light goes on next. Last we heard of George he was writing a Chemistry book for idiots. He is sending me his first copy personally autographed. George got loose in the lab one day' when it was on the first floor, now the lab is on the top floor and we finally got a gym. james O'Hara, the machine tells us, grew up to be public enemy No. 1 until he was told by the men in white coats not to around put- ting his picture on Post Office walls. All kidding aside james was made a general in the National Guard - a general nuisance. .Another james lights up - james Hannon. Jim got a job in a bank and probably would have been president and richest man in the world but he quit when he had to bring back the trinkets he had taken home. The trinkets happened to be 15 million dollar bills which he thought were no good because all of them had the same picture on them. When Hannon lights up, Ronald Podesta lights up right after him. The two of them are like one but when they only put one nickel in the subway slot that's going too far. A long time ago Ron fell asleep at the beach and was eventually washed out to sea and across the ocean to Russia. When he awoke the people were talking in Russian, so thinking the United States was invaded he ran to the nearest recruit- ing office and is now a part of the five year plan. Charlie Pou is another magnate according to our machine. Recently he astounded the world by buying every cane in the world for his sugar factory. The only thing wrong was, instead of buying sugar cane he bought walking canes. Oh well! have a nice trip. The ball rolls along until it hits Ken Hughey's pin. Ken used to work for the under- ground but was fired and accused of being a spy when he lost the subway he operated for the Seventh Avenue Transit Co. between 72nd and 73rd Sts. It seems he worked for the Third Avenue El. Gerald Harwood brings a happy note when he is lit. Gerry the man of big words and a frame to match, had a problem and so went to Mr. Anthony. Seeing a large audience he forgot his problem and did a scene from Macbeth before anyone got wise. He was thrown off the air but not before Mr. Anthony solved Mac- beth's problem. The ball hits Edward Kraus' pin and so another forecast. Ed, in my opinion, had one of the greatest brains that we ever graduated from D.L.S. He would have gone far if he graduated the same year his brain did. Ramon Joseph is a senator now the machine states. Recently he debated in congress the bill about baby sitters rights. The old bill said that they must sit with babies until they are asleep but Joe claims it is too crowded for both of them in the crib. His coll - . both the bill . - - - n. y wi l be changed. The machine says that James Broedell coul have become a great lawyer if he had only gone to the right bar to take his examinations From what I hear jims still at the wrong bar but still going strong -- -. strikes the 3- s t enny who is not conceite ut in 1946 protested violently because Rosalind Russell played the lead in Sister Kenny. He is now on the moon work- ing at Moonogram Studios. He is director, pro- ducer and cast of the new version of Sister Kenny. jack Doolan is another distinguished graduate who is coyly cornering the market in Dentistry. He has bought every comb he could find in order to sell the teeth. He says Now Miriam can go around without using Irium. The ball momentarily stops at the pin of Robert Williamson. While at D.L.S. Bob was an outstanding runner. Today he is still running. It seems he forgot to turn in his track suit when he was told and now they are after him. No matter how fast he goes he will never replace the automobile. The ball, which is tired from rolling, strikes the pin of Robert Whealan. Back in 1959 Bob decided New Jersey had nothing to offer him so he came to New York to make some money.. The only trouble was Bob's was not as good as the money made by the treasury so he is having a vacation up the river courtesy of the g0VEI'I1I1'l6!1t. 37 1848 38 By this time jay Rotheim is looking for his name so here is his history. Jay worked in a shipyard by day as a riveter and as a result became a Rhumba teacher at night. Right now he is part of the navy involuntarily. By mistake he riveted himself to the bottom of a battleship. While we are at sea we come to Joe Croce's story. Joe always used to go into interesting subjects deeply at school. He was always courteous and polite. This was his downfall however. Joe became a deep sea diver and one day he tipped his helmet to a mermaid while working under water. The last I saw of Larry Flanagan was when he was in the hospital. Larry was pretty restless in school so when he graduated he started a job as Hag-pole sitter. Cccasionally he would go to sleep while on the job but one day he rolled over. Joe Lennihan is pretty new to the machine but still it tells his story. It says joe got a job in a circus as a sword swallower. He was going along fine until he burped and cut off both his feet. Another circus man was Dick Kenneweg. He used to jump 3,000 feet into a slightly moist postage stamp. His career almost ended when he tried jumping into a thimble of water. The poor fellow almost drowned. The ball hits the last pin with the name of john O'Grady on it. Because of his lack of sales resistance he now plays a harp in St. Gabriel's land. While listening to the radio, the announcer said Go out that nearest exit and buy some beans right now. O. G. happened to be sitting by a window sixty floors above the street. Well! like O. G. this is the end. 4B' For 99 years De La Salle has been graduating men who were to go out and make a lasting place in the world for themselves. But what of the 100th graduating class, the class of '48? We'll drop in on a class reunion at. the Verdi Square Hotel in the year 1973, and see how our boys made out in 25 years. Just follow me, the party must be in full swing by now. Here we are. You can check your hats over there . . . ready? Just look around! The fellows certainly look different after 25 years, a little older Cnaturallyj and far more distinguished. It seems to be a very happy party, but wait! Is that an argument going on at that table? . . . Oh! I should have knowng it's Speaker of the House, Tom Eichenberger, having an impromptu de- bate with Senator john McHale CR. - N. YJ over the possibilities of a war with Lower Slobovia and the conversation is being made lively by General of the Army, Kevin McKay, who is always ready to fight any war with anybody. Let's wander around and see who else is here . . . I see Freddy Wertz, the atom scientist Che intends to blow up the entire world as a place unfit for humans to live inj speaking softly with his buddy, Ernie Higginson, the man who is anti-everything Che also runs the penny arcade on 42nd St., and is New York's biggest bookie - 3.50 to win on Citation III - please!J. We have quite a few teachers with us to- night, so let's go over to the Faculty Corneri' and see the boys. We find here Prof. Ed Padden Cthe pride and joy of Alma Materj, rmw chief assistant to our illustrious History teacher, Brother Leonard, with Jim Thompson, first assistant to chief assistant Padden Cjim is in charge of all preliminary exams to qualify for qualifying exams in Historyj . . . We also have John Manning another frus- trated History teacher Cit's rumored that he lost his mind somewhere between the Down- fall of Rome and the Middle Ages J . . . Now in Faculty Corner's athletic department we have Andy Cyour hero and minej Cordial, said to be the best P.T. coach since the days of the fabulous joe Cuneen . . . And here's big Dick Clifford, our school's first billiard instructor . . . I see we also have a visiting coach with us, Long Tom O'Halloran, who guides the football squad at John Adams High. Oo-pps! What did I just bump into? . . . It's john O'Brien, a late arrival Cas usualj. You must remember john or Moose, as we called him? He's the man who drank all the beer that would have kept Milwaukee famous! . . . There's another big man, Jack, or should I say His Honor, judge John M. Cassidy Che commits the mentally ill to institutions, and after graduating with the 4B class he is well qualitied to pick out the mentally ill from the normalj? He's speaking with two famous men, Felix Del Monte, President of the Republic of Santa Domingo and Dermot Foley, the famous Irish gunrunnerf' But wait! There's the manager of the hotel! Well, if it isn't Ernie Sgroi Cwhat a dapper fellowij and he seems to be trying to wake someone up . . . it's Vincent Breen dozing off. You know, Vinnie is Vice-President in charge of bed testing for the Sleep-Well Mattress Company. At the same table we have that prominent specialist in something or other, Dr. Joseph Saggese Cthe man who in his youth dis- covered that the walking man was a D.L.S. dash manj talking to a former De La Salle miler of great note, the man with the long black beard, President Frank Smith of that famous cough drop company. I think I see Prof. John Alsheimer Cwinner of the Schmaltz Prize in Astronomyj over at the window gazing at the constellation, Alte- bacon, in his honor . . . Also sitting by the window is our engineer, john McCarthy Cthe man who ripped 'down the George Washington Bridge and built a better mouse-trapj . . . We also have a few authors. There's Hank Hielferty, who wrote How not to Play Basket- ball, Baseball or Anything and the prominent health expert Peter Callahan, author of Effects of Milk Cin containersj in Sports Cespecially Hockeyjf' A very important man just walked in. I see it's Charlie Giardina, our renowned pianist Che's an iceman in his spare time, and Captain Robert Hammerton, skipper of the America III Cthat's the new Staten Island Ferryj . . . Last but not least, we have the business tycoon Che owns a nut factory, it goes with his mental capacityj. Thus we have the class of '48, true represen- tatives of De La Salle.

Going back to 4 the early 60s we see that Alma Mater was one of the first schools 'V-4 J in New York to have a band. Choral units and dramatic clubs kept the life of the school vigorous. In the late 605 the De La Salle Monthly was first published and since that time, publications have been quite continuous at De La Salle. Also may we note the importance of forensics at Alma Mater. In the 90s and the early years of the century the Henry Clay Debating Society of D.L.S. dominated local speech activity. Oratorical and Public Speaking Contests have always featured the years of D.L.S. From 1891 to 1912 and from 1916 to 1925 the De La Salle Cadet Battalion bore itself with distinction and was instrumental in qualifying many a D.L.S. man for commission. The life of D.L.S. has been most manifest in its many extracurricular activities. So do w-e salute a great, nearly century old program of significant extracurriculars. 1848 YEAHBUUG STAFF 56 Joseph Croce Thomas Eichenberger Iohn Doolan Thomas O'Halloran Staff Editor, Thomas Eichenberger Associate Editor, Joseph Croce Finance, John Doolan ' Sports, Thomas O'Ha1loran Assistant Editors: lay Rotheim, Donald Cox, John O,Cvrady, Richard Kenneweg, Gerald Harwood, Allesio Matera.

Under the guidance of Brother Anselm, the De La Salle officers of the Arch- confraternity, holding meetings on the 25th of each month, attempt instilling the ideals of the Christ Child in the mind of every boy here. Speakers, who hope to inspire those at De La Salle, are of the more respectable walks of life or are re- ligious. It is an exemplary, world-wide institution which tends to produce men of saintly character. 1848 IEBATI E SOCIETY MODERATOR - BROTHER LEO Seated: Brother Leo.

Y Ramon joseph, Brother Leo, Thomas Eichenberger 58 Under the careful and efficient guidance of Brother Leo the De La Salle Debating Team embarked on a season of success which effectively rivals the best years of the old and famed Henry Clay Debating Society. The Team rolled up victory after victory and has, for the past season dominated forensic activity in New York City. Ramon Joseph and Thomas Eichenberger, president and vice-president respectively of the society, set the tempo in the field of de- bate winning, as they did last year, the Azarias Debate Championship by unanimous decision of the judges. Their main ac- complishment was realized in winning the Catholic Forensic Championship which en- compasses all Catholic High Schools in the Metropolitan area. In both of these tourna- ments Eichenberger was judged best speaker. 1948 DEBZXTI E SUEIETY First row l, to T.: Gilbert Jackson, David Garten, Leslie Van Marter, Adrian 'G'Donnell, Brother Leo, l Michael Campins, John Sommer, Richard Murphy, Robert Kirkwood.

Ken Gillin won the Humorous and the dramatic declamation Contests of the Azarias League. Leslie Van Matter found Joseph Bissell his strongest opponent in winning the Extemp. contest. David Garten and Gilbert jackson took a close decision over St. Nicholos of Tolentine to win the freshman Debate Tournament. jackson was also awarded a gold medal as the best speaker of the tournament. All this means that De La Salle romped to victory in all five divisions of the Azarias League, setting a record which will most probably last for a long time. 1948 also was the first time in the league's history that the Varsity Debate Tournament was won by one school three successive times and the first time one team scored twice. Five varsity debators, Ramon Joseph, Thomas Eichenberger, Kenneth Gillin, john Doolan, and john McHale were awarded the degree of Distinction by the National Forensic League, the highest honor the League can confer. .

Named after one of De La Salle's most noted teachers, Brother Azarias, this society includes all stu- dents who obtain an average of 8570 or over in each subject. Since all students aspire to be members of the Azarias Honor Society, competition and consequent scholasticism among the classmen is incited. y ELEE BLUE 1948 DIRECTOR -MR.

The club offers its talents at the student meetings or other functions. Under Mr. Carney's direction, it has proved a competent outfit and since its inception two years ago has noticeably grown. At least twice a week there is practice, at which Mr. Carney strives for an artistic perfection that brings enjoyment to both the club and its heaters.

The efforts of Editor Bissell were most ably sustained by Leslie Van Marter as associate editor. With such management the several editions of the Record for the '47-'48 scholastic year were produced. The editing and producing of a paper has its many trying details and challenges. How- ever, with a dependable staff, the difficulties were reduced to a minimum. The tradition of a school paper here at De La Salle can be traced back to the late sixties. Occasionally there have been lapses in production. However, the RECORD offers an excellent medium for those who have journalistic interest to be invested. Too, it offers an excellent medium for the circulation of school thought, interest and spirit. To produce the paper requires no small effort. The editors and staff are to be commended for their efforts and sacrifices in seeing to it that De La Salle is so well represented in the field of scholastic journalism.

With Brother Anselm's return to De La Salle, our radio amateurs have banded together and spent the past year in experimentation both in the school radio room and at home. The club has weekly meetings at which demonstrations on different phases of the complex subject of radio are given. At the close of each meeting each member is allowed to borrow from the club's equipment whatever he needs to build at home the instru- ment with which the demonstration was concerned. Due to the lack of space, the club was restricted to the upperclassmen at the beginning of the year, but as things got under way the sophmores and all those interested were invited to join the club. Under the supervision of Brother Peter and Brother Anselm, five stal- wart members of the club, namely Wertz, Matera, O'Hare, Paul, and Bissell, put up the intercommunication system in the school. 1848 64 E MEHA EL H Moderator, BROTHER PETER Club Ojjficer, ALESSIO MATERA Seated: Joseph loyce, Richard Stone, Donald York, Cosme Campos, John Callahan.

This year the camera fans at De La Salle united under the guidance of Brother 'Peter and through a series of demonstrations and lectures by their moderator, increased their knowledge in the tricks of photography. A dark- room Was fixed up and opened for the use of all the members of the club. It was in use quite often for either private work or for work for the school paper. A demonstration was planned for the parents, but was cancelled because of lack of material. The club meetings were held on a classroom style, and Brother Peter explained and demonstrated different processes and techniques of photog- raphy. Mimeographed sheets were given out, summing up the important points of the demonstration, effecting a course in photography for each member of the club.

The program for the year comprised several very interesting meetings with refreshments and entertainments, a number of father and son meetings and to top off the year a grand Father and Son Banquet on April 9. This Banquet was graced by the presence of several distinguished speakers and sports stars. The meeting of the club offer a grand opportunity for an exchange of attitudes and concerns among fathers, sons, and teachers. Truly this is an ideal cleaning house for the first concern in life-the properly guided growth of youth. l81l8 - 8.

Under their able leadership and direction the plan of activities for the year was realized most happily and profitably. The annual fall card party held at the Hotel Pennsylvania was a grand achievement as were the card parties held at the school each month.

Among the most distinguished may be named Brother Thomas, Brother Philip and Brother Richard. These men fired their respective proteges with a great enthusiasm which made De La Salle the team to beat. Accordingly did Alma Mater hold and defend many championships in interscholastic competition and even go into the collegiate freshman field to keep well whetted a great competitive appetite. And of course we must note appreciativ-ely the great athletic prowess of the three Thoops, Ed, Torn and jim, the Meenan brothers, Ed Hoctor and Co., Ed Swinburne and the World-beating Relay team of '58, and even an extra plug for Johnny Quigly. Of such a great tradition in sports w-e are justly proud. 1848 MODERATORS OF SPORTS xt 5 if 8 -, g,: 73 ' .,.A:,- fx Brother Leonard Mr. Michaels BYOfl'16r Bernard Mr. Cuneen Brother Louis Mr. Alrlwwk 1848 - U.

Varsity Story Basketball at De La Salle continued to be a very unstable sport with the red and blue fielding a sharp looking but inconsistent club which won 9 and lost 13, contrasting last year's fine record of 18 and 6. ' Ar the start of the season all hopes pointed to be very successful because of the fast break which was going so well and because of the slightly easier competition compared wth that of last years combine. Andy Cordial would be back to garner scoring honors, Hank Hielferty, a newcomer, provided the necessary hustle and shooting ability to play topnotch ball. Padden and Cassidy were counted on for height, and McManus and Dragowitz were to go to even greater heights than they reached last season as sophomores. The most valuable player was Andy Cordial. Because of him, we won many a game that would have been lost. Hank Heilferty was really a good fighter and what he lacked in brawn, he more than made up in height. Jack Cassidy, was a great asset to the team especially against the big boys. Ed Padden got off on the wrong foot and never did get going. However, he played a swell game at Rice and played well against St. Peters. Mr. Michaels deserves all the praise possible for his painstaking work with the team. The members of the team who are grad- uating would like to bid a fond farewell to a swell guy and a fine Christian gentleman.

Standing: Coach Vincent Michaels, james Torres, john Murphy, William O'Donnell, Michael Sullivan. J V BASKETBALL The inability to book games afforded an uneventful season for Junior Varsity Bas- ketball. Brother Leonard worked hard to build a team around Torres, Connors and Murphy g and a mediocre record of 4 wins, 5 losses was compiled. Connors the cap- tain, Murphy, Torres, Disch and late comets Sullivan and O'Donnell are expected to see Varsity competition in the 1948-49 season. This bunch, lacking only experi- ence, should show themselves well upon De La Salle's entrance in the C.H.S.A.A. basketballleague, in which schools will be classified according to enrollment. Over- looking the record of the team which does not show much because of the small num- ber of games it played, the V. has passed along some good material for next year. 1943 ,1 l l A FRESHMAN BASKETBALL TEAM lst Row L. to R.

Bade, Phelan, Kelley, Landy, Cuniffe, lvlulhall, Crowley FROSH STORY De La Salle has not been graced with a frosh team of the calibre of this in a long time and if all goes well, De La Salle will once again rise as a basketball power in 3 or 4 more years. Led by Crowley, Mc- Gowan, Mulhaul, Kelly and bolstered by Gil Brady of baseball fame, they won 10 and lost 12. The record does not even do them justiceg they are smart, tricky and rugged, as can be shown in their game with La Salle Military Academy in which they ran away with an excess of 23 points from the Cadets at Oakdale. Brother Ber- nard can be given much credit and praise for his work with these boys. Surely his efforts have been rewarded. Possibly, not trying to second guess Coach Michaels, 3 or 4 of these boys will jump .IV ball to help them gain the experience necessary to develop them into topnotch ball players. 71 1848 VARSITY TRACK TEAM Kneeling, l, to ax: Robert Harnmerton, Albert Churcher, John Brassil, Peter Liptrot.

They placed in the money at most meets, even qualifying for the night time running at the major sporting club meets at the Garden. Leading off, Don Cox provided that good hold on a strategic position so essential n relay racing, Bruce McConnachie, sophomore speedster, usually held the position and Willie Williamson gained a bit till our anchor man, the one and only Frank Smith, poured it on. Frank is going to take advantage of a scholarship offered him by St. john's University for track, and we would like to wish him all the luck in the world. He's a swell guy and deserves such a break. joe Saggese, Smith, Williamson and Don Cox wind up their high high school track careers this year and very successful careers they are! Callahan, Bruce McConnachie, Buckley and Eberle will be expected to carry on De La Salle's great track tradition. The outstanding members of the team and their specialties are: Frank Smith-half mile and mile, Williamson-440 and half mile, Cox-220 and 100 yard dashes, McConnachie-220 yard dash and Callahan -mostly anything. Bob has proven himself one of the best all around runners to come to De La Salle since lohn Quigley with the exception, of course, of Frank Smith who was slowed down this season because of ill- ness. Track remained to be the top sport at De La Salle and the boys did a swell job in carrying on the school's glorious tradition in the art of foot racing. Congratula- tions to Mr. Alynwyck and the track team. OUTDOOR TRACK The season of 1948 on the cinder paths revealed many promising stars and also brought quite a few medals to De La Salle trackmen. The crowning triumph of the season was a moral one, for when Frank Smith and Bob Callahan turned in 2:91 and 2:08 half miles, respectively, in the C.H.S.A.A. championships, they fin- ished Sth and 7th, At the Penn Relays we showed well in all the events in which we ran and would have carried off medals, if not plaques, had not Bob Callahan trip- ped at the start. As it were, we finished a very close 4th. Joe Saggese won the 220 yard dash at the De La Salle meet with Bruce McCon- nachie, sopohomore flash, finishing second and Willie', Williamson literally walked away with the half mile run. The team, hard hit by injuries to Cox and Smith, must be given praise and congratulations for turning in a most successful season. When one realizes its size with squads coming from other schools, it must be admitted that the D.L.S. harriers of '48 did a swell job. Again, congratulations to Mr. Alnwyck for his fine coaching. 1848 i l , l lst Row L. to R. Smith, Heilferty, G.

Willie McManus who is considered a 5rd baseman, took to the mound an pitched a no-hitter. Gil Brady, a freshman, sparked the team from first base and Mel Sommna, a pitcher, shifted to the outfield, gave a good fielding show and led the team in batting. Jack Cassidy wound up a most successful four years behind the bat and will hang up his shin guards and mask only to take them from the hook up at Manhattan. Good luck, Jack! Andy Cordial, joe Smith, and Hank Hielferty, three fourths of the infield, also wound up successful careers and a problem will be presented as to their replacement. Look for Gil Brady, Willie McManus, Mel Somma, jim Crowley, Myles Keenan and Charlie Dragowitz to garner new baseball laurels for D.L.S. next year. Gil boasted'a 7 game hitting streak 74 MY- CUUCEU Willis SffHf'SflV with pitcher Kneeling, G.

Mr. Cuneen has the congratulations of the class of '48 for his ceaseless labor- ings with the team and Ken Hughey, that umpire-baiter third base coach, has our good luck and best wishes upon his return to the pro ranks with the St. Louis organization. Hyde-Met, Handball Champ and Coach, Mr. Cuneen HYDE WINS HANDBALL CHAMPIONSHIP Henry Hyde, red-headed sophomore, took C.H.S.A.A. handball singles title with comparative ease in May, by the score of 21-14. Mowing down all competition, he beat boys from schools with large enrollments, such as Loughlin and St. Michae1's high schools. As De La Salle's only entry, he showed himself very well and should be congratulated for a fine performance. Good work, Henry! Here's to two more titles! 1948 75 1848 Qnfendfy 0l'l'Ll'VL0l'LC2l'l'L8l'Lt IIE LA SALLE I STITUTE I848-1848 PROLOGUE History of De La Salle Institute in Retrospect Narrator - M.
