And when the poet wrote that famous line, Change and decay in all around I see, he was saying in a poet's way what chemistry is forever saying as a scientific fact. The study of chemistry at La Salle has taken on a new aspect, since the recent change in the curriculum gave to the classical students a chance to select this course. Consequently, this year's chemistry class is much larger than those of for- mer years. Thus, there is a wider range of stu- dents from which to choose the team that will represent the school in the Rhode Island State College Chemistry Meet. Considering the fact that some of the teams participating in the meet have pursued the study of chemistry for two years, the La Salle teams of the past, with only one year's study of chemistry, have made very creditable showings. The La Salle team of 1926, under the capable direction of Brother Arthur, finished second, winning a most valuable set of science books which are now in the La Salle Library. The following year, the La Salle team finished third in the contest. Last year's team likewise made a creditable showing. Competitive examinations are being held at the present time by Brother Arthur to determine the five students who will represent the academy at Kingston. May ll. These five will, undoubt- edly, be selected from the group pictured above, this group consisting of Carroll, Dillon, Dolan, Dunn, Durkin, Fitzpatrick, Hanley, lVlcAlear, Polselli and Rainville, representing the honor stu- dents in chemistry. In the hands of these students rests the oppor- tunities of retrieving for La Salle her old laurels or even surpassing themselves and their predeces- sors, by securing the coveted position of first place in the contest. It is not for us to predict their success. The test will take care of that. Cl-I.lGlXlIS'1'TiY TEAM-VVINNER OF RHODE ISLAND STATE COLLEGE CUP 89

A year that has been replete with blessings to us all and with success to most of us. In a particular way, this year has been, indeed, a most successful one for the school paper. And as we approach the close of the school year, we are keenly conscious of the great growth and development that has attended the previous volumes of the Ma1'oon and White since its incep- tion as a meagre mimeographed sheet at the old La Salle on Fountain Street. How many of us 90 remember those days? Let us not forget them. They are to us treasured memories. Success has been the portion alloted to us by the gods. We have seen the school publication lifted to new heights, acclaimed as one of the best, by the large number of magazines in the field of scholastic journalism. In all its depart- ments radical changes were made. Changes were recognized and approved by the students as good and profitable for the magazine and the school. Everybody was satisfied. We are delighted to know that the issues were so enthusiastically received, but at the same
