C«ii her honor we dedieate this book Whaf a pleasure it is for us +0 recall the pleasant scenes of boyhood! The days of carefree play always bring memories that give joy to our heart and yet in the midst of our happy playing what a blow it was to realize that parental authority was beckoning to us. In the enthusiasm of our indulgence in a game, we may not for a time have heard the summons. Then an older person passing by would tap us on the shoulder and tell us: Your mother is caLing you. On November I, 1954, Our Holy Father Pope Pius XII, in inaugurating the Marian Year tapped the shoulder of the Catholic World to remind us that Our Heavenly Mother is calling us. Why is she calling us? Because she has a way out of the difficulty which enmeshes the world. Her counsel is the same as that given to the waiters of Cana in Galilee, Whatsoever He shall say to you, do ye. Our Mother bids us hearken to the mes:age of the Prince of Peace, Her Own Divine Son. As we step out to assume responsibility for the conduct of our lives in this Marian Year, what a comfort it is for us to know that Our Blessed Mother is calling us to take refuge under the mantle of her powerful and unfailing orotection. What assurance is born of the recollection that never was it known that anyone who had recourse to her protection or implored her help was ever left unaided. Mindful of our Blessed Mother ' s personal and perpetual interest in us, and pledging ourselves to be her faithful petitioners, now and at the hour of our death, we dedicate this 1954 Explorer to her!

From many nations, as well as from our own alumni, come the men who forrrt La Salle ' s faculty. The day and evening schools can boast of many teachers of true erudition who compose their respective faculties. In addition to this, during our stay at La Salle they have constantly lent sympathetic under- standing to the multiple problems that can arise in an undergraduate ' s life. We take this opportunity to thank the members of La Salle ' s faculty. 20 WILLIAM WINSEL Student Council President JOHN BRADLEY Class President HARRY WHITE Class Vice-President ALEXANDER AVALLON Class Secretary PAUL BERNARD Class Treasurer Zhe People ' s Choice DULV ELECTED BY THE SENIORS JOSEPH L ABBAMONDI 17 McPhelin Avenue Haddonf)e!d, New Jersey Bachelor of Arts, Chemistry Caisson Club 2,3,4 (Librarian-Historian 3|: Chymlan Society 2,3,4 [Treasurer 4); Doernenberg Society 1; Intramurals 4; Com- missioned 2d Lt., ORC.

Frederick Thomas Bro. Dennis Kevin 67 OUR JUBILARIANS For sixty years Brother Elesbaan Felix h as worn the habit of the Brother of the Christian Schools. This habit holy in its associations as it is, is but the covering for a heart totally de- voted to the love and service of his Divine Master. For many of his sixty years, Brother Felix has given the best of his talent and the shining light of his exemplary example to the progress of LaSalle. In felicitating him on his diamond jubi- lee, we, at the same time thank him for his generous contribution of service in promoting the growth of our college. Pray for us. Brother, that the well done which crowns your efforts may be our privilege to win also. The graduating class of La Salle gladly joins the ranks of the many friends of Brother George Lewis, who find it such a delight to congratulate him on his Golden Jubilee. Brother George Lewis is a man who has written his name large in the annals of our school by reason of the nobility of his character and the superiority of his teach- ing and administrative service. Have a real happy Jubilee, Brother, and re- member that as we prepare to leave La Salle, we pledge ourselves to hold you in grateful memory. We hope that your joy in the years to come will be increased by the knowledge that we have profited by your example and your teaching. 68 We CastA Sye Oh OurMyfiad The exfra-curricular activities in which a La Salle man may participate are numerous and well diversi- fied. Besides sports, a student may pursue inter- ests in journalism, dramatics, debating, music, and a host of other fields, some of which the student may select because of their direct connection with his major subject; others are joined for their more social aspects. Whatever the activity, its function is to provide recreation, relaxation, and a develop- ing interest in the things the particular organization is promoting. 69 ON THE LEFT.

COUNCIL The two four-class dances this year were, as has been the custom, the Harvest Dance and the Blue and Gold Ball. The former, an informal affair, was held at the Broadwood Hotel. The latter, the formal dance of the year, was at the Bellevue Stratford, with Charlie Spivalc ' s band providing the entertainment. Both dances were well attended and were considered tremendous successes. ABOVE.

The worried expressions on the faces of Dan Rodden, the director, Joe Colontonio, the musical director and Nancy Budzik, the choreographer, were premature. The large audiences were delighted wit;i the show during its five-night run.

THE MASQUE OF LA SALLE The Masque, hich was reactivated this year after a lapse of several years, made more progress than any other club on campus in so short a time. Tv o shows In rather quick succession were given under Masque auspices and both were received enthusiastically by all. 74 Three of the masterminds behind La Salle ' s productions this year were the Masque ' s hardworking president, Ace Bradley, Its talented set designer, Jack Lombard and its tireless ticket chairman, Ed Heller. Here, Lombard ' s newest sketch meets with the approval of Bradley and Heller. The Board of Governors and other members of the Masque are shown here. The Board, an eleven member group elected from the Masque membership, is the policy- making body of the organiza- tion. The year ' s straight play was the Thurber-Nugent hit, The Male Ani- mal.

Most of this can also be credited to the active interest taken in the group by its moderator, Mr. Robert Courtney. CHYMIAN SOQ}E The Chymian Society is or- ganized for the purpose of fostering interest in chemistry. This society received a charter in 1949 from the American Chemical Society as a chap- ter of student affiliates. Lec- tures, movies, plant visits, and various other projects includ- ing some social activties constitute the programs held bi-weekly. Students majoring in chemistry are eligible for membership. HISTORICAL SOCIETY The History Club this year had a large increase in membership. It sponsored social functions, meetings with various guest s peakers and, perhaps its most interesting undertaking of the year, took part in the radio quiz show Challenge the Champs on which they achieved several victories, running on the pro- gram for seventeen weeks. The credit for the club ' s success this year lay in the ability and hard work of the officers. Above, Bob Freed, club President, initiates one of the discussion periods which the club engaged in.

It is known as the Pennsylvania Delta chapter. The object of this society is: (1) To encourage excellence in premedical scholarship. (2) To stimulate an appreciation of the importance of premedical education in the study of medicine. (3) To promote cooperation and contacts between medi- cal and premedical students and educators in devel- oping an adequate program of premedical-education. (4) To bind together similarly interested students. k I - ' « J (i A ' , s ABOVE, the entire Fabrlcian Society poses with their mod- erator, Brother Christopher.

FABRICIAN SOCIETY The Society presented a full schedule of events designed to provide its mem- bers with a more intimate knowledge of the medical profession. There were num- erous lectures by prominent scientists and various other meetings. The Fabriclan Society is open to all students interested in the biological sciences. Founded in 1933 as the Premedical Society of LaSalle College, it succeeded in erecting on the campus a chapter of Alpha Epsilon Delta, Its aims, therefore, are similar to thoss of the latter group. 82 BENILDE CLUB The Benilde Club seeks to aid those who believe they may have vocations or who are interested in hearing of the formation and works of the various reiigous orders that compose the clergy of the Catholic Church.

Not only has the Glee Club been a musical group; it has always been a friendly group whose members were held together by a fraternal spirit of com- radeship. We will long remember all of the concerts and Christmas serenades conducted during our four years at LaSalle.

Definitely not a fra- ternity of strangers, the S.B.K. is the only social fraf on campus. In the spring of 1947, the Gannma Chapter of Sigma Beta Kappa was formed on the campus of La Salle College. A national Catholic organization devoted primarily to the development of character and campus leadership on the basis of a strong sense of Christian morality, the fraternity membership is limited by its charter to a small segment of the student body. Any undergraduate of the College may be pledged to S ' gma Beta Kappa, the deciding factors In the se- lection of new members being the ability of the pledge to carry out the aims of the group. Each chapter of the National Fraternity is required to adopt as a secondary aim some political, social, or economic phase of Catholic action. Prior to the fi ial approval of its charter and by-laws at the end of the Summer of 1947, La Salle ' s Chapter, in a unanimous de- cision of its charter members, voted to advance a sound program of Catholic Youth Welfare. % , X 0 % % ' EDUCATION SOCIETY ABOVE, Brother Aiarlas, head of the Education Department and moderator of the Education Society, points out our statue of St. John the Baptist de La Salle, the patron of all teachers and the founder of the Christian Brothers, to M.

In no other organization in the school are the. members more closely bound to each other. Both the military staff and the cadet corps have contributed much to the college in displaying ardent school spirit. In February the members of the Senior Class of the ROTC were taken on a tour of our nation ' s capital, being billeted at Fort Meyer for the three days of their stay.

Joe Merkins splits the tape after completing the four-mile course in a speedy 23:34.5 per- formance, outclassing such stellar Penn har- riers as Maltest, Randenbrush and Bluard. The Wetzlermen finished the season with a .500 mark, 3 wins and 3 losses. The Explorers wound up the season by capturing second place in this all-importapit intercollegiate meet, ahead of 12 other entries. Considering the difficult schedule maintained by the squad Coach Frank Wetzler was well pleased with this season ' s per- formance. The highlight of the entire season was capturing second place in the all-important MAC meet which closed the current campaign. La Salle headed 12 of the thirteen entries. The MAC victory was a fitting climax to the team ' s spirit which dominated the squad throughout the entire season. Team picture (left to right): Manager Mita, Dransfield, Manager Harmon, Gallagher, Joseph, Merkins, Hughes, Adimonis and Harkins. ' i ' I 9 SOCCER La Salle ' s soccer team this year had two tre- mendous obstacles facing it. The major part of the squad consisted of players who had no previous experience in college soccer. Added to this was a back-breaking schedule which matched La Salle with an array of experienced teams. The result was a season which produced ' one victory and seven, defeats. In spite of this record, individual perform- ances were excellent and the confidence and skill gained this year should aid next year ' s booters tremendously. Joe Smith, the booters ' coach, must be congratulated on the Increasing skill In soccer which he was able to give the novices of the soccer team. Even with- out Ciecica and Masterson next season.

Captained by Bob Richards, left, who won the graduation award of the Saber in recognition of his achieving the highest scholastic average of a Military Science student, the team had a relatively good season engaging in weekend meets with various other schools. Two reasons for the team ' s successful season are the unstint- ing efforts of Major Finkle and Captain Pannel who coach the team. Their personal interests and hard work have made the team one of the leading exponents of the College ' s school spirit.

La Salle ' s swimming team, with an amazing show of strength in almost every event, became the first holder of the title, Philadelphia Metropolitan Intercollegiate Swimming Champion. Seven cofleges participated in the meet held in VUlanova University ' s dooI on VlTednesday, March 10. La Salle topped the point production with 70. The University of Pennsylva- nia followed closely with 61. Tem- ple was third with 32, followed by PMC 8. Villanova and Drexel 6 each, and West Chester 2. The Red and Blue, ' and the Explorers were locked in a close scoring battle throughout almost the entire meet, with neither gaining the upper hand until the ninth event when La Salle ' s Chick McLaughlin and Joe Hockenbrock took first and second places in the 440 yd. freestyle to clinch the meet. Penn and La Salle dominated the trial events, which were .held Wednesday afternoon. The Blue and Gold placed sixteen men in the finals, while Penn had four- teen. These extra places were a de- ciding factor, since The Red and Blue took five first places to the Explorer ' s four, and Temple ' s one. The meet was scored 6-4-3-2-1 for the first five places in the individ- ual events. 10-7-5-3-1 for the med- ley relay, and 12-8-6-4-2 for the freestyle rplay. It was the large number of second and third places which enabled the Explorers to win. Two record breaking perform- ances were turned in. The first was by Penn ' s medley relay team of Parland and Johnstone, Carlos Al- yerez and Walt Herman. Their time was 3: 10 J. breaking the old standard of 3:12.2. set in 1938 by PranlcUn and Mar.shall. George Haggerty broke his own pool mark In the 200 yard breaststroke with a 2:29.6, his best performance this ' year. Penn ' s win in the medley relay put them off to a three point lead. 10-7, as La Salle ' s team of Paul Mlsura. Ted Priel and John Schmidt took second place. In the ocrt event, the 220 yd. freestyle, the Explorer ' s put forth the most outstanding team effort of the toeet. sweeping the first three places.

LaSalle Captnres Fifth La Salle won their twen- tieth game of the season by downing the hapless St. Jo- seph ' s Hawks. 78-64 last Sat- urday night at Convention Hall. The Hawks were fired up for only one quarter, the first, and as for the rest of the game they shoulda stayed in bed. Combining a tight defense and the hot hands of Tom Gola and Frank Blatcher, La Salle com- pletely outclassed their untalented opponents. Win City Title In beating the Hawks, La Salle won for the fifth consecutive year the City Collegiate Championship, and the second straight Robert V. Geasey Memorial Trophy. The Ex- plorers record this year was three and one, in this round robin tour- ney. In taking this championship. La Salle ' s national rating took a shot in the arm and once again accented La Salle ' s mastery of lo- cal competition. St. Joe Takes Lead La Salle started slowly as St. Joe took an early lead of 4-0. There was sloppy ball handling and ragged shooting on both sides in the initial ten minutes. St. Jo- seph ' s led at the quarter 15-13. Gola and Company warmed up to the situation and tore the Hawks defense to shreds as the Explorers spurted to a 36-29 margin at half- time. Gola Stars Starting the second half of the contest the Explorers continued to tear the Hawks apart. St. Joe had trouble with the 2-3 zone em- ployed by the Blue and Gold, being forced to shoot from the outside. It was in the third period that Tom Gola put on a blistering dis- play of floor work and rebounding.

On the street, his five feet, nine inches are more than average; but on a basketball court which has be- come the home of the cloud skimmers, Frank some- times looks like a visitor from Lilliput. h-lis perform- ance, however, goes to prove that height is cer- tainly not the only criterion of a good basketball player. His consistently great performances on the court and his hustling team spirit have made Wacky a keystone of the Explorer ' s winning teams. Frank makes his home in OIney. He was gradu- ated from La Salle High School in 1950 where he and Tom Gola were team mates. Frank is the only senior member of the squad and here at La Salle as a pre-law major he has run up quite a record. He has been on the Dean ' s Honor List throughout his stay and his academic prowess will see him graduate magna cum laude this June. With this graduating class, as with the whole school, Wacky graduates with the best wishes not only of this senior class, but with those of the whole school for his athletic and scholastic ab ' riities and for what is probably most Important his deep sincerity and rightful claim to the title nice guy. TOM GOLA Junior Tom Gola has been honored with just about every award possible. All-Amerlcan, most valuable player in the N.C.A.A., All-Eastern and All-Catholic are among the accolades that have been his. Tom has helped La Salle gain a national reputation sportswlse. The six feet, seven Inch OIneyite came to La Salle College from the La Salle High School from which he was graduated after a stellar career with their basketball team In 1951. Tom is a business major with a very respectable scholastic average and a modest personality that has made him liked by everyone on campus. So, this Is the Explorers salute to a fellow who has already been honored by Look, Collier ' s, United Press and Associated Press polls, and Sports Magazine — In addition to many others. We can ' t think of any better tribute than that of Ken Loeffer ' s: He is the greatest basketball player who has ever lived. 106 Our little man Wacky makes use of this opportune moment to lay in Two for La Salle. A pass from Sola to O ' Malley in the pivot results in a leap, a shot, and a basket. Under the watchful eye of FranJc O ' Hara, La Salle ' s All-American, Tom Gola, lumps, shoots and makes it look easy. 107 KEN LOEFFLER Ken Loeffler came +o La Salle a year before the Class of 1954. To attempt to acclaim the brilliance of this mastermind of basketball would indeed be folly, but such an attempt must be made. When the versatile Mr. Loeffler agreed to come to tutor the Explorers, he had behind him many years of sound coaching. He worked successfully with teams like Yale, among the colleges, and the St. Louis Bombers, among the pros. The first thing Ken did at La Salle was to install a new system — one which stressed team balance. The success, he has had is demonstrated in two ways — (1) hlls flawless use of an All-American as a member of a team, a team composed not of one star, but of five capable ball players; (2) The remarkable 119 and 25 record he has compiled in the past five years at La Salle. Ken has led the Explorers to participate in four years of NIT play with a championship in that tourney in 1952. His crowning achievement was the winning of the NCAA championship in 1954, the first year La Salle had been invited to participate. Looking at his record, it is easy to see that Ken Loeffler has established himself as one of the truly great coaches in the basketball game. We salute you. Ken — the Knute Rockne of Collegiate Basket- ball. JAMES J. HENRY Mr. James J. Henry, the Athletic Director et La Salle College for the past 20 years, has been the key factor for the school ' s emergence as a power in the realm of sports. Upon his arrival at La Salle, the College was literally unknown in the field of sports. But, as the years progressed, so did the sports program, for under Mr. Henry ' s able leadership the school has made tremendous strides as a winner in many of the collegiate circles. Representatives from La Salle In sports like basketball, swimming, track, and crew rose to the very pinnacle of success, and In this rise many titles were captured both on the local and national levels. Such a record is the result of Mr. Henry ' s policies which are wisely go.v- erned by his sound judgment. Mr. Henry, In the often thankless position of Director of Athletics, well deserves the acclaim. Congratulations for a job well done. 108 Zhe results of their efforts i M b« 0 C 3 Frank O ' Hara looks quizzical as feammate Tom Gola drives in for a lay-up in front of Ed Conlin of the Fordham team. The first La Salle victory on its quest for the N.C.A.A. title was perhaps the most exciting. With only four seconds of play left in the last quarter of the Fordham game and with a score of 68 to 66, La Salle came up with some expert and fast team work that culminated in Fran O ' Mal- ley ' s tieing the score. In the overtime play La Salle moved ahead to emerge from this first test with a score of 76 to 74. Bob Maples is running into some trouble from Fordham ' s Ed Con- lin and Paul Viggiano. The boy: from OIney Heights gave the fans something to cheer about. TERRIFIC The night after the N.C.S. victory, the palestra saw La Salle score a 66-48 victory over Navy In a strong second half scoring spree that was marked by the high scoring feats of Sola, Singiey, Maples and Company. Above, Navy ' s Don Lange and Larry Wigley dispute Mr. Sola ' s possession of the ball. The next step on La Salle ' s victory march was an 88-81 victory over North Carolina State.

In the next to the last game, La Salle rolled over Penn State by a score of 69 to 54. (A. P. photo. THE NATION ' S CHAMPIONS Skybound Frank O ' Hara leaps far above Bradley ' s Bob Carney and keeps his judging eye on he bas- ket in the victorious Kansas City game to climax La Salle ' s N.C.A.A. hopes. The game, a thriller, had rooters apprehensive at half time when the score read 43 to 42 In Bradley ' s favor. A second half surge and a change of strategy brought La Salle a rousing 92-76 victory and the N.C.A.A. cham- pionship in their first year of competition. A momentary setback for La Salle sees Bradley ' s John Kent bat the ball from Charley SIngley ' s hand. The victory In this tournament raised La Salle ' s standing considerably tn all-nation-wide collegiate polls. A crowd of 10,000 fans greet- ed fhe victors on the memor- able night of March 21, 1954, at Southwest airport. The enthusiasm of the fans pic- tured here was indicative of the feelings of all Philadel- phians. Airport congratulations are extended to the con- quering Explorers by City Council President, James Finneqan on behalf of Mayor Clark and the City of Philadelphia. A motorcade escorted the team back to the college. Smiles, smiles and more smiles, that seems to be the order of the day, as Tom Sola grips the championship ball, and Frank O ' Hara the championship cup. 115 Compefing with the team for attention was this mammoth llO-lb. cake which dominated the cafeteria at the Sunday night welcome home treat supplied to the students through the generosity of Walt Krause and Bill Hall who footed the entire bill. «... .

American International College meets the Dad Vail Champs on Friday afternoon at 3:00 P. M. AIC will be racing against the champs for the third straight year and a friendly observer would readily admit they are pretty consistent — they have lost the last three years in a row. The Explorers will go into this meet with eleven straight victories to their credit. Last season ' s Var- sity was undefeated as they scored triumphs over such crews as Rut- gers University, Rollins.

Last year ' s team retired the Dad Vail Trophy in their fourth year of intercol- legiate competition, and this year ' s con- tingent seems to be equally a team to watch. LOU LEHANE they have — the rest is up to the big boss. LeHane Captain At a meeting of the crew last week, Lou LeHane, only senior member of the crew, was elected captain of the Blue and Gold forces for this year.

FORE. Dick Blaczyk probably has some interesting thoughts as he tries to blast himself as well as his ball from the sand trap. Courtney ' s fiends of the fairway are La Salle ' s outlet for those who enjoy fresh air and long hikes. The golf squad has had a successful season as its veterans and novices have both come through with stellar performances. Sparked by seniors such as Les Seagraves, Leon Trojon, and Marv Kallish, the team has been aided by the profes- sional coaching of Government Prof. Bob Courtney.

However, the spade- work in planning for organization was accomplished by a small, disinterested group upon whom the mantle of Senior was soon to fall. This preliminary planning obviated confusion and made our path smooth. The paramount item on the agenda of our first meeting as Seniors, held in early October, 1953, was the election of officers and, when the results of this historic caucus were tallied, it was gratifying to learn that two of the foresighted planners had been elevated to class officers; Raymond Vasoli was chosen as President and Joseph Keown as Secretary. A third, Joseph Matthews, was elected President of the Student Congress, a most appropriate selection. To our Class Officers, one and all, we say: Thanks! for a job well done. We appreciate what you have done for us. You earned our undivided loyalty. 126 JOSEPH MATTHEWS President Congress Members If you ask any college graduate what one incident stands out most in his college career, oftimes he will mention some special event which did not take place in the classroom and which was not even part of his curriculum. Perhaps he may mention a dance that he attended, or a committtee on which he served, or some other social activity; some experience that he shared with his classmates and now looks back upon it as something he will always remember. Now these social activities connected with a college education just don ' t happen by chance. They are part of a carefully arranged and executed plan usually conducted by some governing body. Here at La Salle the governing body of the Evening Divi- sion is the Student Congress, a group of men who give freely and unselfishly of their time and ideas to promote the social welfare of the student body. It all started in the fall term of 1949, and through its committee system the Congress has grown and comp ' led an enviable record of progress and success that any student governing organization would be proud to claim. The present administration began its activities in the summer of 1953 by laying the ground work for the activities of the school year. The spring dance marks the climax of all the efforts put forth by this group. Now the students of the Evening Division can look to the undergraduates to continue with this fine record of achievement. Only time and effort will confirm the fact that the spirit of the Evening Division student is one of sacrifice, determination, and progress. i.

James Sammon ' 53, served as captain of the entire retreat, a very distinguished position which he has held for the past three years. Edward Dunphy ' 54, and Charles Boyce ' 56, served as associate captains. ADORATION SOCIETY During the Marian Year the Evening Division Adoration Society has stepped up Its activities schedule and Increased Its membership through the efforts of Charles Boyce, Pres.; Robert Kelly, Vice-Pres.; Richard Prendergast, Sec; and Wil- liam Lenihan, Jr., Treas. The society sponsored, as the highlight of the fall semester, the Third Annual Retreat to Malvern, which was one of the most successful ever held. Following this the members put their concentrated efforts behind the promoting of the Third Annual Communion Breakfast, and the showing of several films to the student body. The society has also made a suc- cessful effort to Increase the number of students who supported the Marian Year Devotions held each Thursday before class In the College Chapel. These Devotions were led by the Chaplain, Fr. Mark hieath, O.P., and consisted of The Rosary and Benediction. THIRD ANNUAL COMMUNION BREAKFAST Commenfs of the over 300 guests, faculty members, students, and friends reflected the success of the Evening Division ' s Third Annual Communion Breakfast. Following Mass, which was celebrated by the Rev. Mark hieath, O.P., Col- lege Chaplain, in the auditorium, a very tasty breakfast was served, by Degen- hardt of Philadelphia, in the Field hlouse. Immediately afterwards, everyone sat back, relaxed, and listened to a very fine program of speakers, moderated by the genial and efficient toastmaster, Mr. Lawrence G. Bowman, of the English Department. Heading the list of distinguished guests was the Right Reverend Monsignor Francis J. Furey, Rector of St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, who gave a very inspiring talk on the Immaculate Conception and the purpose of the Marian Year. Other notables present were Brother E. Stanislaus, President of the College; Brother G. Paul, Dean of the Evening Division: Brother G. Robert, first Christian Brother to teach in the Evening Program; Brother E. James, Director of the La Salle Community; Brother F. Christopher, Dean of the College; Dr. Joseph Sprissler, former Director of the Evening Division; and Mr. James Sammon, C. A. Captain of the La Salle Malvern Retreat, along with several others. Brother Stanisulaus and Brother Paul also gave Interesting talks.

Since that tinne Its rapid rise as one of the most active groups in extra-curricular activities has been watched and lauded by all. Its varied program includes banquets, forums and regular meetings at which persons from all fields of accounting appear. There have been speakers representing the Government, C. P. A. offices, special accounting schools and different phases of industry. The departing seniors will long remember the good times and valuable information gained through their association with the Accounting Association.

The first issue of the Evening page was seen in October, 1951, and since that time the news of the Evening Division has been incorporated in all the issues of the College newspaper. Raymond Vasoli, a member of the class of fifty-four, was the founding father of the Evening page. Since his retirement from the Editor- ship, two men have served as the leader of the paper — Edward Gibbons ' 53 and this year ' s editor, Frank Kerr ' ' 54. The Evening Collegian has portrayed the social and scholastic happenings of the academic year to the student body as accurately and vividly as possible. Their aim has always been to serve the student body in the true tradition of newspapermen, and three years of loyal service has proven their devotion to their goal.

Under the inspiring leadership of its founder and moder- ator, Dr. John A. Guischard, and its president, Richard J. Prendergast, the school year 1953-54 sav the club hold Its most successful affair, the annual Social Night which was held in October. Cultural events took up the rest of the year ' s activities, and these included trips to various points of French interest in and around Philadelphia, French films, and the annual French play, this year ' s presentation being La Farce de Patelin. In February of this year, new officers were elected for the school year 1954-55. These are: William F. Boyle, President; James J. Sproul, Vice-President; Richard J. Prendergast, Secretary: and Francis X. Nolan, Treasurer. Under its new leadership, the club hopes to have another successful calendar of events.

The club is com- posed of men who have expressed a desire to keep in close contact with the rapidly progressing developments in the field of Marketing. The club was headed by Walton Bolger, President; John Carberry, Vice-President; Art Le Roy, Secretary; Charles Wirth, Treasurer; with Mr. Bannon, Instructor in Marketing, ' serving as Moderator.

There were also field trips to different business organizations to give the members an Insight into the actual workings of everyday business. Social activities in the form of dances rounded out the schedule and provided enjoyable get- togethers for the members and their dates. The success of the club in the past term has been shown by the fact that its membership has in- creased to an all time high and the prospects for the future look even brighter for La Salle ' s Marketeers. 138 SOCIETY FOR ADVANCEMENT OF MANAGEMENT The 1953-54 scholastic year saw the La Salle College Chapter of the Society for Advancement of Management (SAM) embark on an ambitious schedule of activities. The success of this program was demonstrated by the recognition received. Our La Salle group won the annual Student Chapter Award presented ' by the Philadelphia Senior Chapter to the local student chapter showing the most out- standing acievement during the school year 1953-54. The SAM is the recognized national professional society of management people in industry, commerce, government, and education. Student chap- ters are organized in leading colleges and universities offering major courses in management. The discussions and general programs of the chapters are directed toward encouraging and stimulating inter- est and understandng in scientific principles of management. In furtherance of this purpose. La Salle College was host to the Sixth Annual Student Conference sponsored by the Philadelphia Area Student Chapters in March, 1954.. The remainder of the year ' s activities consisted of forums, plant tours, and presentations by recognized speakers on various aspects of management. CHARLES ROUCHE ' t Vice-Presldent Evening Division Sr. OfRcer A HISTORY OF THE 1954 GRADUATING CLASS The history of the 4th Evening Class to gradu- ate from La Salle College is an interesting one to look upon in brief retrospect. During the nnonth of February, 1949, 135 men nnatriculated, the largest nnid-year enrollment since evening classes had begun. In September, 1949, the fall registration was 205, making a total year ' s enrollment of 340. Due to the normal amount of drop-outs, the present total of 104 graduates was reached. The first two years were comparatively un- eventful with respect to extra-curricular activities. There was a general feeling prevalent that one had to learn to study all over again. An air of reluctance permeated the freshmen and sopho- more groups preventing - hem from doing any- thing that did not pertain to scholastic work. The loosening-up period and eventual swing Into college life took place from September, 1951, to March, 1952, when La Salle College ' s great quintet, led by All-American Tom Gola, rose to national prominence by winning the cov- eted National Invitation Tournament. Team support was the much used expression of the day: and school studies were temporarily cast into a secondary role. The tournament in March, 1952, saw the Evening School turn out in force for several trips to New York ' s Madison Square Garden. This first taste of basking in the glory of one ' s institution was pleasant. Many activities were begun or perpetuated by the 1954 graduating class; 1. Some of its members began what is known today as the Evening Division Section of the La Salle Collegran. They organized a staff of their own and worked independently, but in co- operation with the day school staff. 2. The First Annual Communion Breakfast was staged on April 6, 1952, by our own class mem- bers to honor the Christian Brothers. It was a rousing success ' with 318 turning out for the affair. 3. Although Senior Class Officers were elected for the first time in the 1953 class, it was once again 1954 grads-to-be who introduced the idea and did much of the necessary backstage work to turn the idea into a reality. Several of our fellow classmates rllsed the prestige of the 1954 class by becoming chair- men of various activities or serving on the many committees throughout the campus. Others took an active part in the Student Congress of the Evening Division, building up and making this group one of the most highly respected in the college. In a word, our members have conducted themselves admirably. Then, in our senior year, we saw the many senior functions run smoothly. The Senior Stag brought everyone closer together. Our Dinner- Dance at the Ross hlouse was acclaimed by many for its precisely organized program. The beau- tiful gift for the library presented to the Brothers is a tradition-making gesture for other classes to follow. And who can deny the Yearbook you are holding from being recognized as an out- standing piece of work — congruity at a height. Our class has much to be proud of. But, let us not think that our entire history is behind us. Many of us has done his little bit, or more, in building a better reputation for La Salle College. hfowever, even though we conduct ourselves as true gentlemen and persons of strong character to extend this institution ' s reputation for outstanding all-around education, we still have another chapter of our history to write in the future. La Salle College has given us an open door to bigger things. We must never forget it. It is our job to continue with the Alumni to repay, in some measure, what the Christian Brothers have so unselfishly given us. Your officers have the firm conviction that this thought will always live with the 1954 graduating class. 140 SENIOR DINNER DANCE The traditional Senior Dinner Dance was held on May 15, 1954, at Ross Hall In Gernnantown. As the final note of the traditional Good Night Sweetheart drifted away at the conclusion of the affair, we realized that we had at last reached the finale of our social activities as students of La Salle. The seniors and their wives and sweet- hearts, and our honored guests enjoyed an eve- ning that will long be remembered.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE SENIOR CLASS The Class of 1954 will shortly make the transi- tion from the ranks of the undergraduates to the ranks of the alumni. This transition is both obvious and automatic. But we are wondering with what facility the transition will be accomplished. We are won- dering if the Class of 1954 will be merely names to add to the addressograph plates, or whether the Class of 1954 will take its place in the Alumni Association as a vigorous, dynamic unit capable of contributing concrete help in the task of perserving and embellishing the reputation of La Salle College. As members of the graduating class you are well aware of the fact that you have set an admirable precedent. You are the first class in the history of the Evening Division to elect senior officers, and to form a working senior organiza- tion. For this accomplishment, we offer our sincere congratulations. But, gentlemen, we entreat you to utilize this organization to its fullest possible advantage when you become part of the Alumni. You have established a sturdy framework, it now remains to build upon it when you graduate. Don ' t be con- tent to be merely names, be a voice. Though you may not be presently aware of it, you will learn that the awarding of a degree from La Salle College has many ramifications. The awarding of a degree means, for instance, that a three-fold responsibility is Imposed upon you. This responsibility encompasses primarily, your school. Henceforth, you must always conduct yourselves In a manner that will reflect nothing but credit upon the name of La Salle. Next, this responsibility extends to your fellow alumni, and finally to all undergraduates of La Salle, present and future. You can best meet this responsibility by fos- tering a strong alumni association. Make this association even more valuable by bringing to it a unified organization dedicated to wholehearted participation in all activities.
