'? - : :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.

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

S JUNIOR D September l0th found a group of thirty-eight boys eager to begin the scholastic year of l928- l929 as Juniors, under the capable direction of Reverend Brother Finan. Twenty-five members of last year's class formed the nucleus, while thir- teen others joined us, to make one of the best classes in La Salle. At our first meeting, the following class ofh- cers were elected: Edward M. Lacy, President: Bernard Mullen, Vice-President, joseph Myette, Secretaryg William Briston, Treasurer, and Ed- ward Cronin, Maroon and White representative. Our class was well represented in the 'Varsity teams of the past year. Briston and Russell, two veterans of former years, answered the call for Cross-country. Our representatives on the gridiron and, incidentally, those who formed the backbone of the team, were: Captain joseph Myette, Ber- nard Mullen, William Testa, George MacDou- gald, and John McLaughlin. On the basketball courts, our class starred with James Flash Reilly, the high-scoring man of the teamg Milton Lacy, Bernard Mullen and Joseph McGarry. The 'Varsity Hockey Team claimed William Pettis and John McLaughlin. MacDougald and Mullen were two of La Salle's star high jumpers, Thomas Russell and William Briston aided the track team by their long-distance running, while Albert Tur- cone starred in high jumping. It is quite evident, therefore, that 3-D has contributed generously to the sports of La Salle. Although we had an unusually large aggrega- tion of athletes, our scholastic standing did not suffer, with but few exceptions, all weathered the storms of the Quarterly Exams. Special mention, however, must be made of the following, who at- tained an average of 85? or more, in the first two Quarterly Examinations: Edward Cronin, James Reilly, William McQuitty, George Kiernan, Paul Murphy, Andre Desjarlais, Edward Carroll, Francis Conway, Joseph Foley, Milton Lacy, Fredrick Loveless, and Maurice Gagnon. Recently a call was issued for candidates for the Debating Society. Those of our class who re- sponded were: Francis Conway, Robert Fletcher, Frederick De Michele, Frederick Guillette, George Kiernan, Paul Murphy, John Shields, -Io- seph Myette and John McLaughlin.
