itz Q -'I 2 G-A 2 ' .1 5 oolxr and WHITE 5 FRESHMAN F Freshman F holds the distinction of being the second mid-year class in the history of La Salle. On the fourth of February, upwards of twenty students came to Smith Street, to make new strides in their education. Although we of our Alma Mater, we yield class, in our loyalty to the school and in our ability are the infants to no Freshman as students and athletes. Shortly after our entrance, we became actively interested in our school magazine, the Maroon and White. We found this booklet to be so well- written and so attractively arranged, that we sub- scribed in goodly numbers. Our interest in the Student Council was shown by the election to the Freshman Council of James M. Delaney and John Loughery to represent our interests at the Student Council meetings. At our first ,class meeting the following officers were elected: President, Thomas Clabbyg Vice- President, Alva Sainsburyg Secretary, Vincent Maguire, and Treasurer, Woodrow Quinn. The class, being now well organized, we plunged into our studies in true La Salle fashion. We soon mastered all the little difficulties that II6 confront beginners. Raymond Donovan, our in- tellectual beacon-light, leads the class without any serious opposition. His name was almost a perma- nent fixture on the Honor Roll. Debating and Elocution were the only con- tests in which we participated. John Bucklin had no equal when it came to discussing the merits and demerits of a subject in debate. But when it was a question of genuine oratory George Garvey and John Bucklin knew no peer. Both of these gen- tlemen secured second place in the Freshman Pub- lic Speaking Contest. As our stay at La Salle has been short, our athletic activities have been necessarily limited. There is an abundance of material for track, bas- ketball, and football, but they will wait till next year to show their wares. In baseball, however, we gave two very able catchers to the 'Varsity. Alva Sainsbury and Thomas Clabby were the two athletes who have brought this distinction to our class. We are confident that they will have sev- eral good seasons ahead of them as La Salle star catchers.
