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.
