JUNIOR B - -- B Q s HGH ez L is 'gi oolxr and WVI-I1TEg 5 g - , - ' -' '-'ia-sigf' .. ' A , 1.0 :' L ' ii This has been an eminently successful year for Junior B. From the very outset and throughout the entire year, our class has been well-organized. Our entertainments, our debates, and all our other activities have been ably .conducted and successfully terminated. Instead of a succession of banal re- marks let our record speak for itself. The most casual observer will note that we are represented on every 'Varsity squad, in every school activity, and what is most important, our students were nu- merous on the Honor Roll each quarter. Al the first election of class officers, the following secured recognition: Mathew Flynn, President: john Mcphillips, Vice-President, Francis Monti, Secretary, and James McGowan, Treasurer. Al the end of the Hrst semester, a new election brought new men to the fore: Paul Brod- erick, President: Matthew Flynn, Vice-President: john Hennessey, Secretary, and Francis McMur- rough, Treasurer, John Kien was Maroon and White representative during the entire year. The athletes who distinguished themselves in the various sports were: Football, F. McMur- rough, T. Hogg, P. Broderick: Cross-country, Captain R. McManus, T. McAndrews, E.. Con- ley, T. Hogan: Basketball, E. Koehler, T. Jor- dan, T. Riellyg Track, Captain R. McManus, La Salle's greatest track star g T. Giblin Devlin, E.. Conley: Hockey, Steffy and Mc- Phillips were top scorers, Baseball, P. Broderick, T. Hennessey, F. McMurrough, Steffy, T. McPhillips, T. Hogg. Then there were those who did not actually play on the teams, but who exercised their ability as managers or cheer leaders. What better Cheer Leaders could be had than T. Giblin and Dev- lin? Lancor was the very efficient Basbetball Assistant-Manager, while A. Reily did noble work in the same capacity in football. Although the Honor Roll is sufficient evidence of our high scholastic standing, we wish to give special mention to those who distinguished them- selves in dramatics and in debating. F. McMur- rough and T. Giblin are the two representatives of 3B who have displayed real ability in acting. Those who were actively interested in debating were Lancor, E. McCabe, T. Beagen, F. Mc- Murrough, F. Monti, McGowen, Kiernan, J. McAndrews, T. Ciblin and E. Havens. I03

E so as 51563 2 S - 4 E g 2 ooixrg gtaxfgimjrzqg mga WHITE 2 JUNIOR A At the beginning of the school year, we as- sumed the academic title of Juniors under the guidance of Brother Francis. Like true La Sallites we sought to fathom our intricate studies. The Professors who ably assisted us in our Work were: Brother Francis, Brother Flavian, Brother Joseph, and Father Crawford. We must confess that our studies were not as complexing as they had seemed, although Greek proved to be somni- ferous to some. Shortly after resuming classes, we organized a class society, which had as its executives: James Dempsey, Presidentg William McIntyre, Vice- Presidentg John Carroll, Secretary, and Vincent Whalen, who proved to be a most efficient finan- cier, Treasurer. Under the capable guidance of this society, we held a very enjoyable and a most successful Christmas Party. Returning after the Christmas vacation, we took up our studies with greater zest. Some men- tion must be given to several members of our class because of their excellent work. We are proud to acknowledge the endeavors of Henry Lefebre and Vincent Whalen in making Junior A the in- 102 tellectual leader of the Third Years. Edward Fitzgerald, our representative in the dramatic so- ciety, has performed his duties exceptionally, as editor-in-chief of the class paper. With advent of of the Student Council, we learned that Frederick Gorman was elected Vice-President. Besides being proficient in studies, we have given our quota of athletes to the school sports. In football we were represented by William Mc- Carthy, John Carroll and Stephen Kindelan. Hockey claimed William Ellis and Stephen Kindelan. Now that we have completed our third year at La Salle successfully, we look forward with eagerness to our final year. When We return in September, we shall be lordly Seniors, chastisers of the Freshmen, directors of the Sophomores, and the companions of the Juniors. With deep affection and genuine gratitude, Junior A bids adieu to its teachers. We hope no one will be among the missing when we convene in September as Seniors. i il

'? - : :w 'I f: : ,, .4 'Y 5 MAROONL and XNTfl1'1lEg JUNIOR C Another golden year of our carefree youth, studded with gems of precious achievements, has vanished into the realm of sweet reveries, and with it passes another commencement, the very threshold of our own. Last year we were Sophomores under Brother Andrew. This year we completed studies as Jun- iors under the guidance of Brother Matthew of Student Council fame, and next year we will be Seniors, ready to enthusiastically carry on the work so well done by the class of '29. Being a small cog in the machinery of the academy, our record shows that small cogs are often very essential. What class with an enroll- ment of twenty-three can boast of a Higgins, a Flynn, a Gillen, and a Leonard in basketball, of a Martin, a Walsh, a Daly, a Burke and a Kelly in baseballg of a Leonard, an Albanese in track, or of a Barney Malone, an Niles Aldrich in foot- ball? In studies, too, we have been an Honor Class. Witness, for instance, the wonderful work of our speed typists: Thomas W. McGrath, J. Henry 104 Bedard, Edward C. Albanese, John Morgan, Daniel McElroy and john McKenna, Daniel McElroy, Philip Earnshaw, Henry Bedard, Edward C. Albanese, and Luke Murray. The Debating Team enjoyed a successful season, pro- ducing such excellent debaters as: Daniel Mc- Elroy, Thomas W. McGrath, Francis E. White, Edward Martin, John McKenna and Edward Gillen. Our class ofhcers are: President, Daniel McE.lroyg Vice-President, John McKenna: Secre- tary, john Morgan, and Treasurer, Philip Earnshaw. You might be interested to see us personally. So if you take a look at our picture you may get better acquainted. Sitting, from left to right: M. Higgins, T. Daly, McKenna, H. Bedard, Brother Matthew, T. O'Hallaran, N. Aldrich, B. Malone, D.
