Something else the uyoungsters started was the extending of classroom rivalry to the gridiron, gym, and diamond. Games begun in class were replayed on the held to settle the all-important question of HVVho really won. Many are the happy memories of the struggle put up for that elusive HHistory Champs shield. It made the round of classes more than once. joseph Ruppel, representing the freshmen in the finals of the elocution contest, rendered his interpretation of Benedict Arnold's Death remarkably well. The debating team of G. Scheel, G. Edwards, and F. X. Gallagher went to the finals where they gave the juniors a Close run on the question of censoring non-religious books. W'atch this combination go places next year! The freshmenls greatest boast in public speaking was little Bernard McDougall.

FRESHMEN Sitting: Brothers Hyacinth, Maximus, Ignatius, Kostka. Standing: Brothers Alvxius, Carlos, Aluin. THE Class of 1943 has come a long, arduous way, the freshmen reckon. The Hrst day was an ordeal. Feeling; like fish out of water, like one in a million, with the million milling about sellingr second-hand booksXall this surely was enough to scare the new- comers away. Amid the excitement roused by the book hawkers many freshmen made the mistake of buying sophomore books. Added worries were getting used to the bells, the idea of Changing Classrooms, the corridors and the difference between MlO5 and A105. After two assemblies the freshmen felt more at home. The upperclassmen con- tributed their share in putting the freshmen in the groove. The inspiration and leader- ship demonstrated by the school elders has made loyalty to M. S. J. C. the outstanding habit of the freshmen. l The first chance to express this loyalty came with the call for football candidates. The freshmen boasted of representation on all four school clubs. Who of the freshmen was on Coach Donohue's squad:J Bernie McDougall was a varsity Cheerleader. This argument satisfies the freshmen. The J. V, had no less than nine freshmen on its championship team. The Cubs and Midgets boasted of dozens from the first year ranks. During the winter and spring the freshmen were still found participating in all the branches of sport found at the Mount. Although sports kept the freshmen attached to the Mount, they were not their only concern. Bearing the numeral one fU before their Class division, the freshmen have made that Hone mean Hlirst. They have made themselves first in many respects. Originality has marked their first year as a suc- cessful one. In journalistic endeavor they have published, under the competent co-editorship of Jimmy Murphy and George Stadter, a bi-weekly entitled The Young Sztvz'emf'ixl. From all sides the staff received and merited the greatest praise. The Young Scientist, al- though intended for scientific news, enlarged its aim to include all freshmen interests. 19 .4
