It was not until nine games later, when the Maroon again met De La Salle, that the former was defeated. This eight game winning streak aided the La Salle hoopsters in achieving their record of thirteen and five for the League competition. Returning to the floor after a low-scoring first period, the Maroon basketeers dubbed an under- dog Mount Pleasant High team, 55-24. Although every member of the second and third team After having won eight games consecutively, the La Salle team had to face the Class A lead- ers in one of the most thrilling games of the season. Although the Crusaders won 46-39, no one was quite sure who would come out on top until the final whistle. This setback evidently was no source of discouragement to the Maroon, since they came out of the suceeding three games leading by twenty points or more. The first of these victims was Mount Pleasant. After five minutes of play, there was not much ques- tion who would be victorious. The score was 52-25. The other two victims of this three game victory streak were East Providence, 47-27, and Hope High, 63-41. ln both these games the de- was used extensively, the score mounted to largest compiled by the Maroon squad this sea- son. With this previous game as an inspiration, the O,Crady-Donaldson coached five topped a ragged East Providence team, 50-20, in the La Salle gym. Bob Choiniere and Joe Blain did the scoring, while Lefty McGowan managed the playmaking. Led by co-captain Bob Choiniere, who tallied thirteen points, the Maroon easily overcame Hope by the comparatively high score of 43-32. Cafferty, Blain, McGowan, Renehan and Har- rington were others on the La Salle squad who countered against the Blue and White. ln the following game the 'LSwish Kidsn rolled up a margin in the first three periods high enough to carry them to a 33-35 victory over Cranston. lohn Shea sparked the Maroon attack with bril- liant hook-shots scored at opportune times. By defeating Rogers 34-27, and Pawtucket West 46-29, La Salle ended the first round of their campaign. At this point they had secured an undisputed hold on second place in the Rhode Island lnterscholastic Class A League. Two more victories, one over Pawtucket East. 36-22, and the other over the Black and Cold of Central. who had defeated the Maroon previously. 23-20. all but clinched a playoff berth for the O'Grady- men. fensive work of Roy Delaney was instrumental in assisting the Maroon have possession of the ball three-quarters of the playing time. The terriffic strain under which the La Salle squad had been playing became apparent in the next two games, dropping one to Cranston, 34- 19. The victors led all the way in this rather low-scoring game. Rogers was the other victor over the O'Gradymen, scoring 44 points to the Maroon 31. Although his team was defeated, Vin Callogly livened the contest throughout the whole game with well-executed defensive and offensive play. Closing the season by successfully defeating a team which had never, up to this year, been eliminated from the playoffs . . . Pawtucket West, 43-29 . . . the O'Crady-Donaldson-coached team held undisputed possession of third place in the lnterscholastic League and a chance to win the State Championship. Vlfe of the senior class are very grateful to Coaches Dan O7Grady and ,lim Donaldson, Moderator Brother Francis, Manager Robert Walsh, and all the players for the time and effort they spent to bring honor and distinc- tion to La Salle. We also wish to express our gratitude to those members of the senior class who participated in this sport . . . Robert Choin- iere, Joseph Blain, John Shea, Vincent Callogly, and Roy Delaney . . . and we hope that they will be successful in later life.

Although the si-ore was close at the three-quarter mark. the Maroon put on a last period surge and ehalked up ii poiitts in the last four minutes of play.

By now the Providence Journal had labeled the Maroon pucksters as the Comeback Kidsv since their defeat in the finals last year. Al- though no one on the team was outstanding indi- vidually in scoring, with the co-operation of each member, they were able to reach a tie with Mount St. Charles for lirst place in the league standing. Then two successive victories for these Comeback Kidsn, one over North Providence, 3-2, and over the favored Mount St. Charles, 4-1, placed them on top of the League. ln the They dropped the first game of the two game total series, 1-0, and the second, 3-2. Even though they were done out of the championship title they still will be remembered in the hearts of the graduates as one of the hardest fighting teams La Salle has ever seen. We are especially grateful to members of the graduating class who participated in this sport and we are sure that they will be successful in their future life. The following are the graduates: Robert Scanlon, Albert Curtin, Robert Rock, John Pierik, and Robert Mclntyre. latter game with the Flying Frenchmenw, the Maroon displayed the co-ordination that had them marked for the Championship ofthe Rhode lsland lnterscholastic League, but in order to take the title, they had to face the team that had proved in the previous season to be an undis- puted jinx to the La Salle squad . . . Burrillville. I t One Hundred Thirty-nine 4 1TH the changes of coach and moderator from Jack Cronin and Brother Alban to Lou Cimini and Brother Anthony. respectively. and the election of Bobbie Scanlon as captain. La Salle opened an eventful hockey season. Sev- eral members of last year's squad were retained, including the four Bobs .... Scanlon, Tiernan. Rock, and Mclntyre, and Al Curtin and Johnny Pierik. Although Mr. Cimini has evidently been preparing for the future, his team won every game this season. but lost in the playoffs. He has several sophomores and juniors on the squad who saw a great deal of service during the 1946- 47 season. The team began daily practice at four-thirty each morning and immediately after school all the members would go to the Rhode Island Auditorium to practice. The result of this effort can be seen on the record. Lou Cimini's pucksters opened the hockey sea- son by beating a veteran East Providence outfit. 4-3. The new La Salle line led by Wah'7 Tier- nan and Captain Bob Scanlon operated very smoothly. Bobby Lane. La Salleis sparkling goalie. was impressive in his first game in his position in front of the nets. ,lohn 6'Crusher Pierik also stopped many an East Providence thrust with his bone-crushing checks. Vilith Bob Lane starring in the goal and Bog Scanlon on the offense aided by A1 Curtin. La Salle humbled One Hundred Thirty-eight Central, 9-0. Coach Lou Cimini gave his whole team a work-out in this second game of the season. When two traditional rivals meet. a thrilling game may be expected. This is the story behind this fiercely fought, nip-and-tuck battle between La Salle and Cranston, from which the Maroon sextet emerged victorious, 1-0. Both teams had fought vigorously, and it was not until late in the game that Bob Tiernan was able to slip one through the Thunderbolt cage. The La Salle skaters, with the brilliant defense of the cage by Bob Lane, who was ably assisted by Bob Mclntyre and Johnny Pierik. topped the Burrillville Broncos. 3-1. This victory put the Maroon in third place for total points scored. Playing against three former veterans of the Cronin-coached hockey team at La Salle. the Maroon downed the Hope six. 6-2. Everyone on the Maroon squad played heads-up hockey. hold- ing the All-State forward, Bob Monohan. in check throughout most of the game. Using the first string sparingly. the Maroon pucksters successfully defeated the underdog Classical in the sixth victory out of the same number of games, 4-0.

Although La Salle held an even pace with the former gradu- ates in the field events and the short distances, they were outscored 16-2 in the long-distance running. With practice going full force throughout the Christmas holidays, Dan O,Grady prepared his team for the all-important Malden Meet. This effort proved to be fruitful since the Maroon dominated the meet with a comfortable margin of 1215 points over the runner-up Malden Cath- olic. Three out of five events were won by 5?

Topping the former record by 12 sec- onds the 2-mile relay quartet of Dick Lee, Pop Johnson, Johnny Phillips and Capt. Leo Sullivan annexed five more points to the La Salle total of 33. McCrane, Dillon, Norato, and Tiernan outran other contestants in the one-mile jaunt, while shortly after, Gilson, Walsh, Tetreault, and Lepry finished the Medley Relay more than seventy-tive yards ahead of a Hope competitor. A dual meet with Hope High proved very successful for the Maroon who swept three events in 1-2-3 order, besides placing men in at least one of the first three spots in all other events. In the running high jump Ed Crofton led, closely followed by Neirinck and Ferrara, who tied for second place.

In the Rhode Island Interscholastic Carnival La Salle demonstrated precision in teamwork by placing first in every event except the shot-put. Ed Crofton, Gerard Ferrara, and Roland Nei- rinck amassed a total that placed La Salle first against five competitors in the high-jump.

The Maroon was beset by very costly accidents in the rough contest at the Garden. In the two-mile relay Lou Lepry was sprawled onto the boards by a hit-and-run operator. This gave the Maroon speedster about a fifteen yard deficit, by which he might have won the race. In another collision Dick Lee was cut over the eye and cheek, and as a result was forced to leave the mile event. Outstanding for La Salle was Tom Norato, Heet-footed hurdler, who won the 60-yard low hurdle event.

One Hundred Thirty The class of '47 is grateful to Brother An- thony, Moderator of football, to Head Coach J ack Cronin and Line Coach Milt Rhenquist, to the Assistant Coaches Al McCall and Lou Cim- ini, and to the whole team, including the man- agers, for giving their time and effort to bring distinction and honor to La Salle Academy. We also extend special best wishes to all the mem- bers of the team who are seniors, and we know that their lives will be very successful. Salle's only score. Although another kick was blocked and recovered deep in Thunderbolt ter- ritory, the Maroon eleven was unable to click successfully for another tally. The strength of the Maroon line, particularly O'Neil, Pierik, and Florio, forced the Cranston team to resort to aerials. Smarting from its two successive defeats, La Salle came back and topped Cathedral High on two last-half touchdowns. Fred Thorpe went over for the first after a fine run by Powers had placed the ball in scoring position. The final touchdown, coming late in the fourth period, was a Gorman-to-McCauly aerial, the latter also converting the two extra points. In returning to league competition after de- feating Cathedral High, 14-0, the Maroon eleven displayed its best brand of ball of the season by handing a 26-6 defeat to the Black and Gold of If Central. Statistics showed that La Salle gained 341 yards to the 184-yard total for Central. With Gorman passing on the Hat to Riley after a sus- tained 80-yard drive, the Juggernaut scored their first six-pointer. John McCauly, up-and-coming sophomore, converted for the extra point. After Fred Thorpe had run in professional fashion for a 47-yard gain, Roy Delaney snatched a short pass from the air and scampered over the goal line for the deciding tally. Tom Powers and George Casparian played an outstanding game as defensive back and tackle, respectively. La Salle was held to a 0-0 tie by a fighting St. Raphael squad on a rain-swept gridiron. Neither team was able to work successfully, since shift- ing on the muddy La Salle Alumni Field was almost impossible. Herb DeSimone was out- standing, throttling many a potential scoring thrust.

That was the question confronting Head Coach Jack Cronin and his assistants at the beginning of the 194-6 foot- ball season. Nine first string men and several valuable substitutes had been graduated in June. For three long years all the other teams in the State had been waiting for this chance to halt the Maroon Juggernaut, State Champions during T94-3. 1944, and 1945. There was only one thing for the Maroon to do . . . drill, drill, drill. No one expected La Salle to win more than three games, and these with difficulty. As it was, they emerged victorious in seven out of ten ganies. Injuries beset them before the season was underway. Most important of the victims was Leo Palizza, whom Jack Cronin had dele- gated as Quarterback, to call plays and fire passes. Pulling out of a fiercely fought battle, the Maroon eleven won their second victory in as many starts by defeating Malden Catholic High of Massachusetts, 12-6. The score at the half was deadlocked at 6-6, but a long hard drive in Hundred Twenty-six the late part of the third quarter, climaxed by a well-aimed pass to Roy Delaney, proved to be the deciding factor. Although Malden returned with a last minute passing attack, they were im- mediately checked by the heads-up play of the Maroon eleven. The season's play opened against a highly rated Brooklyn Prep squad. The Juggernaut trampled them 35-6, scoring their first touch- down early in the game after a startling run by Fred Thorpe. John Pierik, coupling with John O'Neil, opened several holes through which the speedy Maroon backs could sweep for numerous gains. Rolling up their third victory of the campaign, the Croninmen romped over Boston College High, 37-0. The Maroon line out-charged their rivals so that numerous times Boston College fumbled before the plays gained momentum. This was the final pre-season game. The Juggernaut opened the defense of their State Crown by turning back an inspired Hope eleven, 26-6. With La Salle notching up two CAPTAIN BASKETBALL-JOE BLAIN AND BOB CHOINIERE Both Joe and Bob were active members of the C. Y. O. before they en- tered La Salle. They are following the same sport they played while in the C. Y. O. and unquestionably their qualities as hoopsters are of the finest produced here at La Salle. From two of the ablest players that ever entered a court their schoolmates expect nothing but the best and that is just what they get. Both boys will leave La Salle this year but their enviable athletic records will be imprinted indelibly on the tradi- tional record of the school. OUTDOOR TRACK -TOMMIE NARATO INDOOR TRACK- LEO SULLIVAN Leo comes from Riverside and has concentrated his interests on Track ever since he entered La Salle. He specialized in the mile and the half- mile and was on the championship cross-country team for three years. His earnest efforts did not prove fruitless, for Leo became a member of the All-State squad this year. Leo has proved himself deserving to take part in the traditional athletic history of La Salle. Best of many hurdlers to cross the La Salle scene in several years is Tommie Narato, captain of the outdoor track team and indoor high hurdle champion. Tom has an undefeated record into this year's outdoor season, not having been beaten in outdoor competition last year. In the New England Meet he topped the high and low fields to gain the New England Championship in these two events. In the indoor track he topped four years of work on the team by annexing the National High Hurdle Championship at Madison Square Garden. One Hundred Twenty-five HOCKEY - BOB SCANLON Bob began his athletic career at La Salle in his sophomore year when he took position as left wing on the hockey team. Starring as first-string center the following year Bob drew the attention of the fans and won much credit both for himself and his coach. To top 05 Bob's success he was made Captain of the '46-'47 hockey squad and earned for himself the recognition of every spectator who saw him play. One Hundred Twenty-four MAROO FOOTBALL - GEORGE KASPARIAN George came to us from Nathanael Greene in '43 and immediately rose to fame as captain of the .lay Vee football squad. In forty-four his tal- ents were discovered and he was instantly placed as first-string right tackle on the Varsity' Team. He entered the Coast Guard in '45 and served actively in the Atlantic and Pacific. Upon returning to La Salle in '46 his team-mates unanimously voted him captain of the '46 varsity football squad. May George maintain that certain way about him that makes him well-liked by everyone he comes in contact with. w l CROSS-COUNTRY -- LOU LEPRY Last year the La Salle track team was paced by several harriers of all- state standing, one of whom was Lou Lepry, who set the pace for the Maroon cross-country runners this year. Everyone has the same opinion of Lou. a swell guy and a good runner who has proved himself one of the finest harriers ever to set foot on a track for La Salle. Lou, whom we all know is well-deserving, has won the highest recognition of his team- mates and fans. LOU RANDO Another former La Salle all- stater, Lou returned to his Alma Mater to help coach the J, V. team under Tom Cough- lin, answered the call and did a magnificent job of manag- ing and coaching the future all-staters of our Juggernaut. DON IANOZZI Don came to La Salle in 1945 as a lay teacher and turned to coaching in 19416 along with Tom Coughlin and Lou Ran- do. Those of us on the '46 spring juggernaut learned to respect Don's line play in the Manton Mohawk game. One Hundred Twenty-two TOM COUGHLIN After returning from a tour of duty in the Navy in l94'5 Tom resumed his duties as head coach of the J. V. foot- ball. Tom has also been an invaluable aid to Jack in the formation of his Varsity squads. His tireless and un- ceasing eilorts have been an inspiration to all who have come in contact with him. JIM DONALDSON Jim was one of La Salle's 1936 graduates, playing J. V. and Varsity basketball during his stay here. At present he is assisting Dan O'Grady as chief task master of the Ma- roon and White basketeers. DAN O'GRADY Dan took over the track de- partment in 1943 and has since rolled up championships right and left. This season of l94-6-1947 Dan has taken the La Salle hoopsters under his wing and so far has made an enviable showing in every respect. JACK CRONIN Under the tutelage of a Bos- ton lrishman who was one of Cavs, boys, La Salle foot- ball teams have carried the fire of his leadership and the precepts of fair play and sportsmanship for almost twenty years. It has been a rare privilege to know and play under such a man. CARL TOTI 'iHuStling Carlv Toti look over the La Salle Baseball Club in 1946 and hustle-tl his boys right through to the Class A Championship. A former La Salle, Providence College and amateur league star, Carl is no stranger to baseball and knows what he is talking about. LOU CIMINI Lou is North Providence High's gift to La Salle, al- though he is no stranger here in the realm of sports, having been all-state tackle, first string in hockey, baseball, and track as well. This season Lou guided his charges to the Class A crown and we hope success will continue to crown his ellorts. One Hundred Twenty one BROTHER MICHAEL The track department at La Salle is a year round job for anyone who participates in all its many phases as the moderator of said sport well knows. After nine years of unstinted devotion to his boys and the sport he loves Brother Michael deserves a WELL DONE for his efforts. I BROTHER FRANCIS By this time everyone in the senior class should know Brother Francis as a teacher, friend, coach, or moderator. Brother came to La Salle in 1942 and since that time has had charge of the Maroon eourtmen. One Hundred Twenty BROTHER MARTIN Former moderator of football and hockey, Brother Martin became Athletic Director in 1944 after the departure of Brother Boniface. He has done a wonderful job in his administrative position and the various sports activities have continued to fiourish under his leadership. BROTHER ANTHONY A wonderful man whose heart is as big as his titanic frame, Brother Anthony has been moderator of football since 1944 when Brother Martin ascended to the Directorship in the Athletic Department. He took over the moderator- ship of hockey in the middle of the 1916-1947 season and, as usual, he tackled his new assignment with gusto. 1 BROTHER ADRIAN The baseball squad has bene- fited much from the supervi- sion of Brother Adrian since 1943 when he first took over the reins. Those of us who were fortunate enough to have him in class or play under him were lucky indi- viduals indeed. BROTHER ALBAN Last spring Brother Alban had huge success in reviving one of the forgotten school boy sports in the state-Ten- nis. He has awakened a live- ly interest in the sport and we know we can expect to hear great things about him in years to come. LE 8l 'w-nhl-uw 4'Coyering the Campus.

BRO. C. PAUL Maroon and White Monthl S in the past years the Maroon and White, has kept the Academy and friends of the Academy well informed with the affairs of the school year. Through many long months they have toiled willingly to publish a paper that the students and alumni can be proud of. While the rest of the school were at home enjoying them- selves, on Saturdays and Sundays, the members of the staff were hard at work preparing a paper for the school. So we extend to the monthly our gratitude for their work par excellence. Behind all the activities in La Salle the main driving forces are the Moderators. and the monthly is no exception. Among these Moder- ators is Brother Chrysostoni Paul, Moderator of the monthly. who was called by the staff the man behind the lllalt behind the typewriter. One Hundred Sixteen His timely advice and untiring efforts contrib- uted greatly to the success of each issue of the paper, and his checking on all stories and gentle explanation of the mistakes made him a friend to all who worked with him. Three senior editors retired from the month- ly with the December issue. They were Dennis McCarthy. Editorg Albert Pike. Feature Editor: and Christopher Stallard, Associate Editor. Den- nis joined the staff in his sophomore year as a reporter and rose quickly to the position of lflitor-in-Chief. his work was always character- ized by a verve and subtlety that made interest- ing reading. Al, on joining the staff became staff typist and in a short time obtained the position of Feature lfditor, and was well known because of his witty treatment of student activities in Minstrel and Musicale VER a span of years, one of La Salleis most time-honored traditions has been its annual Minstrel. This year, under the guidance of Broth- er Anselm, who worked long and diligently, the Minstrel, combined with a Musicale, hit an all time high. Bursting forth in matchless comedy and incomparable music over its enraptured au- diences, the 1947 production played to capacity crowds each of its five nights. The first section, the minstrel proper, was pre- sented with all the verve and color we have come to expect. The endmen, Peter Bertani, Robert Gilmore, Kenneth DiOrio, Ed McLaughlin, Lu- cien Olivier and Bob McCaffery were supported by a iine chorus of some sixty voices. Robert Brennan acted as interlocutor. Opening the program was Robert Beck in a dance novelty and the thrill'd audience had hard- ly caught its breath when Helen Kern, charming song stylist, rendered a'The Man I Lovew. Angelo DiPippo, whose nimble fingers made his accor- dion literally talk, played '6Tico-Ticoii. Repeat- ing his success of last year was Everett Morrison, singing the perennial favorite, uNight And Dayw. No minstrel of course would be complete without the popular Andrews Sisters, who drew a huge round of applause. The finale, On the Board- walk in Atlantic City was sung by William Dyer, assisted by the chorus and endmen. The intermission provided one of the show's highlights. Gus Pierce, an inimitable comedian, convulsed his audience with impersonations of famous comedians, which were performed to per- fection. The second part, the Musicale, was M. Cfd by David Nani. A vocal trio, comprising the tal- ents of Helen Kern, William Dyer and Everett Morrison, opened the program with Hindustan . Next was a solo rendered by ,loan Webster, which entranced her listeners. Robert Courville, one of last year's hits, did a startling and origi- nal dance on ice skates. HPush Button Timew again provoked a great deal of spontaneous laughter, and John Connolly, a newcomer with a wonderful voice, sang A Pretty Girl ls Like A Melody , which was accompanied with a charm- ing dance by his lovely sister Dorothy. Next, Nancy O7Connell told the audience l Donit Know Enough About Youw, to their great de- light. The funnybone was tickled by Bob O'Brienis scintillating and witty quips, and Siboney was among a group of songs beautifully rendered by William Dyer. The Finale, HA Thousand Good Nightsw. was sung by the Vocal Trio accom- panied by the whole cast. Blzo.

These boys, having spent three and four years as members of the organization. will be sorely missed. for during their years in the band. each became a pillar of the group. Anytime an underclassman needed advice or as- sistance either musically or otherwise, he would seek out a senior member for counsel. Thus these fourteen members formed the nucleus of the organization. The foundation of the fine rhythm section of the band consisted of Red Giblin. George McDonald. Al N utine. uAng Diljippo. and Dick Ryan. These boys made sure that La Salle's famous Steet beatii always main- tained the correct tempo for the proper occasion. Bob Perry and f'Mel'7 Melone. two truly fine instrumen- tfilists, were the hlead menf' of the trombone section. The La Salle band has always been noted for its brilliant trumpet section. This year, more than ever. the organization had the beneHt of five excellent trumpeteers. They were: Frank King. Cliff Hamilton. QUTUIHT Robinson. NAV' Pike. and Steve Brunero. One could safely say that never again will the band be blessed with so fine 4. and well-balanced a section. Ray Ricci. a mem- ber of the band and orchestra. was espe- cially noted for his fine tone on the sax. Tom Rabin for four years was a dependable and truly gifted performer on the clarinet. We seniors are proud to have had a part in enhancing the reputa- ion of the outstanding extra-curricular activ- ity of La Salle-name ly the La Salle Acad- emy Band. .Q za J .W ,.!. x 4 if ' 4 if . U if ,-- fu ,Q vs 29,1 ffg naman-me 351 X Q t J QW La Salle Academ Band ITH the advent of graduation in 1946, the outlook for the future La Salle Academy band was dark indeed. At Graduation the organ- ization would lose many fine musicians who were the pillars of the various sections. Thus the band would be reduced to a shadow of its former brilliance. But fate smiled on the band, for during the summer an exceptional group of musicians was developed through the patience and teaching of Mr. Wilfred Roberts. This, coupled with the entrance of many new students into the Acad- emy, swelled the ranks of the band to 85 fine instrumentalists. Thus once again hearts thrilled and pulses quickened when the La Salle Acad- emy Band made an appearance. Some people may wonder why the band en- joys such success year after year. There are many reasons for its consistently excellent show- ings. The primary reason of course, is our band director. lVlr. Wilfred V. Roberts. Through his dynamic person- ality and boundless knowledge of music. he is able to mould various emotional and instrumental qualities into a well-balanced unit' S? 1 The organization is also privileged to have a line conscientious moderator in the per- son of Brother C. James. lt is his duty to keep the hand's repertoire up to date and in order, also to care for the uniforms. This year our drum major, Frank King, through his uncanny perception of rhythm and keen sense of showmanship, became one of the outstanding drum majors in New England. His alternate, Dick Ryan, besides doing a brilliant job leading the band, is a fine drummer. Any article concerning the organization would be incomplete without at least a mention of our twirler, Gerald Roberts. Though only six years old, he is able to march in perfect step with the bearing ard skill of a person many times his age. During the past year the band's many activi- ties included playing at the football games, pro- viding music at the dedication of the Veteranls Hospital at Davis Park, marching in the May Day Parade of Assumption Parish, presenting the at nual concert in May and also playing at many other functions. both religious and civil. ln conclusion, we senior band members wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to lVlr. Roberts who besides instructing us in music has taught us what it means to be good Christian gentle- men. One Hundred Five zz: L ..., Z Q A JS M f' WILLIAM BRENNAN 4.1-313 SHOTS wr J 9 ,.,.

Over fourteen hundred enrolled for the school year in September 194-5. The cross-country team led by Lou Lepry took the state title, as did the gridsters, after defeating Central before twenty- five thousand spectators at Brown Held. In a novel and unprecedented move the squad trav- eled to New Orleans for a Christmas Day con- test w ith Holy Cross High School. The game, played in mud and rain, resulted in a six to six deadlock. The school monthly, the Maroon and White, was awarded a second place rating in the Colum- Y Tom Nomro Loi: LHPRY Lia Scholastic Press Association. The indoor track team took their fourth straight Class A title. Lepry and Norato starred in the national schoolboy meet. Once again the minstrel was a huge success. Bill Dyer' and Ev Morrison were outstanding vocalists before more than five thousand ticket holders. The first social of the Junior Class was held in the Auditorium to the tune of Tommy Masso's band. More than one hundred and eighty cou- ples were present at the dance. Miss ,lean Gal- logly was chosen Miss La Salle of 1947 at the dance. The Eastern division baseball champion- ship was easily won by a hard-hitting Maroon nine. After sweeping aside all competition dur- ing the season, Warren set them back in the State championship playoffs. The last step in our course through high school began in September, 1946. For the ever- increasing stream of Freshmen, an annex was established in the downtown area to accommo- date the three hundred-fifteen Frosh. Our first official activity as the graduating class of 1947 was the election of officers. After the three day campaign, which was inclined to be fruitful in places, and was marked by the customary levity and frivolity, the Senior class chose the Wihite party to represent it during the year. The offi- cers are: Leo Palizza, President, Bob Phayre, Vice-Presidentg Lou Gorman, Secretary, Ronnie Florio, Treasurer. Angelo Dippo conducted the campaign for the Maroon, while Larry Cava- naugh and A1 Pike advocated the principles of the White party. As was expected, the cross-country team copped the state championship. Not content with local honors, however, it twice defeated its bit- ter rival. Bishop Loughlin, in the national meets. Lou Lepry finished third and seventh in these meets. In the nine weeks of the cross-country season, eleven separate trophies were captured by the barriers. The Juggernaut had its victory string snapped at nineteen straight by Mount Pleasant. It com- pleted the season with a record of seven victor- ies. two defeats, and one tie. The hoopsters with Dan O'Grady at the helm, had a very successful season. Twice appearing in the Boston Garden, they overwhelmed strong Massachusetts clubs. Although they finished the regular season undefeated, the sextet was edged by Burrillville in the hockey play-offs. Bill Dyer was chosen editor of the ,4-7 year- book and work was started on the book in De- cember. This year's edition of the Minstrel was headlined by Bill Dyer and Ev Morrison in a Bing-Frankie setup, John Connolly, and Angelo Di Pippo. All attendance records were shattered , l Tom BRADY BILL DYER as the show played live nights to packed houses. Begretfully we now come to the finale of our scholastic achievements at La Salle, which has sheltered and instructed us for the past four years. Though we may attend other institutions of learning in the state or throughout the nation, each of us will harbor secretly, a strong attach- ment for La Salle and a deep concern for its welfare. To a ford Alma Mater we bid adieul Histor of the Class of 194 HE graduating class of 1947 first ventured over the L'limina of La Salle on September 13, 1943. ln the next few months, now remem- bered fondly as some of the happiest of our sec- ondary school education, we grew to know, and knowing, to respect the traditions of the Acad- emy set forth so well by our predecessors. As we grew in knowledge and moral integrity we soon discovered the true character of the Hman behirid the desk , the Christian Brother. As the fame and renown we gain in life may well accrue to the time, talents and energy our 1 Lizo PALizz,x Arnoxr Prrmaci teachers have given us selflessly, the consistency with which we follow the principles maintained by the Brothers shall be evidenced by our devo- tion and adherence to these ideals after gradu- ation. After recovering from our initial awe of the upper-class men, we plunged into the various extra-curricular activities around the school. The band, a venerable La Salle tradition, attracted a goodly number of representatives from our ranks. The ,lunior Varsity football squad and other athletic activities open to Frosh received their share of our members. The annual underclass retreat was a novelty to most of us and we concluded the three day period of introspection and reflection with pro- digious intentions. Shortly after we had the occasion to introduce our parents and teachers on Open House night. There are many who re- member this first meeting with a shudder. Our first minstrel received the whole-hearted support of the class and displayed an impressive array of talent. We also placed an enviable num- ber on the honor roll for the half-year, leading the rest of the school on this distinguished list. This was truly an outstanding year for our athletic teams. The football squad was impres- sive in annexing the State Co-championship and tying but one game, with Cranston, and defeat- ing East Providence in the season's finale. In quick succession the track team won top honors in all three divisions and the baseball team con- cluded the sport year by taking the Class A crown. Over five hundred students undertook the odyssey to Lynn to witness a pre-season grid contest. Thus, in June we reached the end of our first year at La Salle, reached it with a feeling of regret intermingled with ecstasy at the idea of returning as Sophomores after vacation and al- ready indoctrinated with the fundamentals of the school and the Christian Brothers. ln September we returned to a class swollen by an influx of Junior High students through- out the state, into the largest class in the school. Noticeable among the faculty were new faces as familiar figures left to join the armed forces. Brother Anthony was appointed football mod- erator, succeeding Brother Martin who was named Athletic Director. Once again the Ma- roon was extremely successful in the field of sports. The juggernaut garnered the champion- ship for the third straight year. The cross-coun- try team won the state and New England titles, while the indoor team took second place in the national indoor title race. On the heels of the chaotic hurricane of 1944, came Open House night, now an old thing to us. Brother C. Paul was named moderator of the Evrznmr TNTORRISON JOHN Pimnk Maroon and White monthly. The school was visited by Brother Victor, Supervisor of the Secondary Schools in the New York district. The annual minstrel was again an outstanding success, featuring as guest soloist Miss Eileen Ceoghegan. The first dance open to us Sophs was the Sports Dance which was held in Decem- ber. Over one hundred and forty couples at- tended the affair, which was informal. At Christmas a selected group of singers paraded through the corridors serenading the student body with the traditional carols of Christmas time. ,lack Cronin and the 1944 foot- 4A-312 -1B-203 LLC-304 4D-305 First row. left to right: M.

Leo has guided the class through a most successful year by promoting' dances and other various class activities. May his future success be meas- ured by his term as president and scholastic ability, coupled with his athletic prowess and genial personality. Our vice-president Bob Phayre came to La Salle from St. Pius Parish. His stay here has been characterized by hard work and stellar achievements on the track team. Bob has proved himself worthy of the office he holds and will climb to unprecedented heights in his years to come. Lou Gorman has perpetuated our faith in south Providence material. Prominent in the fields of football, basketball and baseball, Lou has not neglected his studies nor his responsibil- ities as Secretary of the Senior class, because of his athletic inclinations. His accomplishments at La Salle will soon be overshadowed upon his graduation. Ronald Florio, our finance man, has lived up to our most optimistic expectations. His ability with ledgers and figures was surpassed only by his athletic endeavors. Ronnie is a good student and popular with everyone. We, the class of '47, wish him the best of luck.

DIRECTOR BROTHER ANTHONY, F.S.C Dedication TO BROTHER ANTHONY, this year celebrating his silver jubilee, we humbly dedicate our year book. A native son of Providence, Brother Anthony attended St. Mich- aelis Parochial School and, upon graduation, entered La Salle. When he had completed his Sophomore year, he joined the Brotherhood. He has taught in many of the schools in New York City, particu- larly, La Salle Academy, the oldest school now conducted by the Broth- ers in the New York-New England Province. Later, he taught for many years at St. ,loseph's Cathedral High School in Manchester, New Hampshire. From there he returned to his Alma Mater, and for the past eight years he has taught American History and has directed the History Department. He has been assistant Director of Athletics and a very competent and extremely successful moderator of football. Of striking stature, be has as many admirable qualities as there are inches in his mighty frame. Kind, affable and genial, he has ever been a zealous and devoted teacher and doubtless he has made a pro- found impression on the thousands of boys who have come into his sphere of influence. Admired and esteemed by all, he holds a warm spot in the hearts of all his confreres. The Senior Class is happy to join with the Brothers in offering hearty and sincere congratulations on his outstanding achievement, 25 silver years of devoted service to God and to the welfare of youth in the classroom. ostra! Tribute FTER the debavle of the second and more terribly devastating world w ar. humanity is slowly but painfully rceovering from the spiritual and material ravages of the holocaust that all but spelled the end of our eivilization. Groping yet toward the goal of universal peare and secur- ity. some of the men Charged with the responsibility of adjusting and harmonizing tht- condieting differenees among the nations of the world are sensibly eoming to realize the futility of attempting to build a new world structure without taking Cod into aeeount. Others unfortunately are still eommitted to tragically inadequate materialistic- policies and principles. At this stage of their w ay through life. the youth of our genera- tion should be hopefully confident of what the future holds in store for them. But we cannot be unaware of the dim and not too favorable outlook hey ond our present horizon. Yet we have no Cause to be unduly pessimistic-. In the teachings of our Faith and in the inspired leader- ship of the Pope and our other prelates we can readily find the solution to the weighty and knotty problems that beset us. We should likewise find Consolation and courage in the admonition of Holy Vllrit: Cast your eares upon the Lord and He shall sustain theef' We are particularly blessed in having as our immediate spiritual shepherd our esteemed Bishop whose foresight, zeal. wisdom and good- nessfqualities all markedly manifest in his noble character furnish vonvineing evidenve that we are indeed fortunate in following his guid- anee and leadership. We are grateful to have this opportunity to testify to him our love. our gratitude, and our devotion. To him we offer filial and respectful homage. IIIQY. FRANCIS P. lil'IOl'GHA IHJ. ISISIIUIWPI1' PNUX IIDICNUIC QYNKXQQ Nxggixi NTENTS Foreword IN presenting this 1947 edition of the Maroon and White annual, the editors have earnestly endeavored to assemble a complete, compre- hensive and wholly satisfactory record of the senior class and its activities. We sincerely hope that the task we set out to achieve, that of making this book one of the most outstanding in the annals of La Sallels history, will meet with success and approval. We realize, of course, the great honor that is ours. Throughout the seventy-six years since its establishment, La Salle has gained a reputation and tradition of which all are proud. In practically every field her graduates have excelled, and we, the new alumni, will not find it easy to live up to the standards set by our illustrious prede- cessors. But we firmly believe that prepared by the wise counsels and devoted guidance of the Christian Brothers,'our salient goal for a suc- cessful future will not be insurmountable. With this spark of indebted- ness in our hearts we leave our beloved Alma Mater, cherishing fond memories and humbly hoping that her history and tradition will be forever enriched by the role the class of 1947 played. 5 -'QB 'X f E Q 1 !4,,fxfZ12r.u,N! ,lv',I,:-:it Dx I t , J, rx if ,X l' if X ff N S tg K!NUi,Xxj!NI xx ,M , vf l ' 'X-S-.,,+f ' f 'Xxx-1, ff fl ff 4 ff 7 J, 5 if iff!!
