UNDERCLASSMEN As we look back upon our years at Maur Hill, our thoughts invariably turn to our friends, aides, and associates, the underclassmen. Whenever our shoes needed a little added lustre, or our laundry needed to be mailed, there was always some obliging freshman who was ready to help. Sophomores and juniors were always being petitioned for that clean white shirt or that flashy necktie. Whenever we needed a cigarette or a nickel there was always an underclassman handy, uncomplainingly giving us what we desired. Sometimes we were refused when our requests were exorbitant, and though we may not have shown it by our actions or words, we never really expected the underclassmen to comply with our de- mands. It was truly grand the way we lived in harmony with one another. True, we did have our little dis- putes and quarrels, but what can be expected from a group of healthy young boys? All in all we work- ed and played together as one happy family. Whenever an underclassman wanted a date, help with his classes, or any of the small things that come up in daily life it was with great pleasure that we tried to assist them. We may have groaned, complained or put it off, but it really gave us a feel- ing of pleasure to know that they in some small way looked up to us. As we look back on our days at Maur Hill we will not think of the underclassmen as our servants, but as our younger brothers. 27

JUNIORS treasurer of the M club. Other juniors who saw action on the gridiron during the last season were: Anders, Beeby, Harrington, Tobin, DeBauge, Giller, and Tucker. In basketball, Baron Johnson and Bob Buhler were the only juniors to make the varsity, but the fast moving, hard driving, sharp shooting B team was well represented with juniors. This year the juniors had seven men on the base- ball team. They are as follows: Domann, Montgom- ery, Mooney, Herfkens, Buhler, Bindel, and Roth. In the field of entertainment, the juniors spon- sored a Junior Drag , a Dog Patch Dance , the second in the history of Maur Hill, and the annual Junior-Senior Prom. These were well organized and very well liked by the Hilltoppers. The Glee Club, the Band, the Dramatics Club, and the St. John Berchmans Society were well sup- ported by this class. Leo Stueve was elected trea- surer of the St. John Berchmans society. There are four scholastics among the juniors who are study- ing for religious orders and for the secular priest- hood. They are as follows: Leo Stueve, Francis Herfkens, Kenneth Schultz, and Francis Fanning. The juniors copped the A league intramural football championship, and came out champs in the Big Ten intramural basketball league.
