A large amount of credit must also go to coach Greg Jorgenson, who completed his second year at the helm of La Salle ' s aqua- tics program. Unfortunately, Jorgenson only had seven people on varsity water polo last year and as a result he had few re- serves. It takes much stamina to play a complete water polo game and this year ' s several juniors from last year ' s frosh-sopy squad filled out the varsity team nicely. Both Jorgenson and his team spent about two hours each day in work-outs at Sierra Madre pool. Apparently these long hours have begun to pay off. Whether La Salle will become really strong in water polo or not remains to be seen, but if this season ' s improvement is an indi- cation of a trend, our Lancer harriers may soon have to share the fall spotlight with water poloists. ».cA-. • .

Volume 1 October 1976 Number 1 LA SALLE COMES OF AGE 21st anniversary feted La Salle has reached manhood in a manner of speaking. Opening day in September marked the be- ginning of La Salle ' s 21st year of operation. This is somewhat of a major feat when one considers the fact that at the end of each year, the future of this school is viewed with variable degrees of uncer- tainty. Many students are unaware that La Salle is one of ten catho- lic boys high schools, along with St. Mary ' s college in Moraga, CA, sustained by the Christian Bro- thers of the Western Province. Headquartered in Rheem Valley, they are the largest teaching order of Brothers in the Catholic Church with 18,000 members throughout the world. Through the Brothers finan- cial support. La Salle has con- tinued to grow academically and otherwise as a private school. The infamous Christian Brothers Winer ' in Napa Valley is the source of this support. But, because the Brothers strive for a vastly serviced area as possible, they are not able to cover the total operating costs necessary to keep La Salle in business. It is in this capacity that the school depends on the dedication of a tightly knit unit consisting of parents, students and faculty, who willingly give of themselves in an effort to expand and per- petuate the La Salle philosophy. That philosophy calls for a concerted effort on the part of this unit to provide the entire surrounding community with a viable and worthwhile academic institution. Many things ave changed, during La Salle ' s twenty years, some say it has become too liberal, some cry it should be this, while others want that, but one thing has remained basically unchanged, and that is this phil- osophy. We ' ve made it through twenty years, let us continue to grow and advance curing the two decades that face us. La Salle has gone through adolescence, now it is a ful fledged adultl Seniors Leave Alverno For Annual Trip By Mary Martin On Sunday morning, October 17, seniors left Alverno High School.

The first activity took place on Sept. 21 when Senior Class Presi- dent Jeff Moscaret talked to the Frosh about spirit. The next day the Mass of the Holy Spirit was celebrated in the gym by Fr. McSweeney. The entire student bod attended. A special schedule on Thrusday allowed an hour for various sports. Freshmen and Seniors competed against sophomores and Juniors in warball, basketball, and volleyball. Friday also had a special schedule. After the last period of the day, the rally was held in the g m. A shouting match pitted Fresh- men and Seniors against Sophomores and Juniors. Neither group emerged with a clear victory. The La Salle cheerleaders made their debut, assisted (?) by a guest appearance of their Paraclete counter-
