SYM? THE MAP.ooN AND WHITE K CID Za V0 O 11 Cl MC lfggjlzife-1Q33 HIGH SCHOOL after all is very much similar to any civic community. Mention any ' ' phase in the life of a community and it will be duplicated in the routine life of a high school. A community at its beginning does not, as a rule, need the services of a public press to inform the people of what is transpiring around them. It is only when the population increases and the community expands that the press becomes imperative. This is likewise the case in a high school. With a limited enrollment there is closer contact among the pupils. But as the enrollment increases and scholastic activities grow apace, some means must be taken to keep the pupils informed and at the same time stimuf late interest and emulation among the student body. The Maroon and White BifWeekly is the student press agent at La Salle. This year under the direction of Mr. james Flanagan, a staff of peppy writers were selected. Francis Spillane, editorfinfchief, Thomas Wall, Fred Rogers, Thomas Casey, David Coffey and Francis Kelliher were the feature writers, With unflagging interest the staff took over the burden of publishing an annual that would be Without peer in the history of La Salle. In theme, art work, pictorial and liter' ary content we feel they have achieved their end. One Hundred Eleven

Each year has witnessed the society increase in membership and its members increase in efficiency. The increase in the number of commercial students this year forced Brother Boniface to divide them into two clubs: the Junior and the Senior. The junior Club meets once a week for special exercises in speed and accuracy. Class contests are held to stimulate interest. In the contest between 2-J and 2eK the latter won the honors. The boys responsible for the class victory were: Thomas Sliney, Austin McManus, Leo Bush, joseph Rodrigues and Alvin Jutras. Prominent among the ze-I typists are: Vincent Doyle, Armando Maddelena, William Smith, Donald Girard and John Giroux. The Senior Club has its weekly meeting, its agenda comprising speed tests, accuracy tests and the mechanics of the typewriter. Conspicuous for their efficiency in this division are: Thomas, Maher, David Smith, Joseph McDonnell, John Kelley, Gerard Cloutier, Norbert Jarbeau and Thomas Tancrell. In later years the members of this club will realize fully the advantages that have accrued to them through this society. A great deal of credit for the efficiency is due to the untiring work of Brother Boniface, the Moderator. One Hundred Ten
