Father Salm spent much time and effort in arranging the schedule which the student body highly appreciates. lt is excelled by no institution of its size in this section of the country. He has had his heart and soul in his work and has pulled with the boys on every occasion, though never sacrific- ing a principle for anything. In every struggle he could leave the fray satis- fied that he had done all in his power to make the team a success, financially and other wise. At times in the season, Father Salm was known to come down to the gym and direct practice with his never- diminishing vitality. NVhen all seemed lost it was Father Salm who rallied with an encouraging word. Then in the end it was usually the same Father Salm who bore the brunt of defeat with a smile. It is mainly through his efforts that the Orange and Black battled with some of the strongest teams in the league. Through his cheerful spirit RE VE R END PETER SALM and peppy enthusiasm he kept the 11i,-f-ffm squad on their toes night after night during practice sessions. To Father Salm, director and schedule arranger, the student body and players owe a debt of gratitude than can never be paid. JOHN FALL:-za. f 91-3.114 O 'jjffnj D QI Eighty-six if

His untiring efforts were ' ' 4 responsible for producing the scrap- V Q 5 piest team that ever wore the Orange U and Black. Quiet and confident, he 'J X if drives into his boys a spirit of enthu- O 1 siasm and grit that was displayed to ' 'l 3 advantage in every game of the past i 3 season. 1 He is the type of man that , 't ! can smile and come back after the 'J 9 1 hardest knock. You truly cannot keep 0 ' ' 5 a good man down. At all times the 'il L , team has benefitted from his unex- 3 ' ' celled example. ' 'Z J He is dear to the hearts of his pro- 'J g O teges, who have seen him under the 0 . 'Q ' ' 1 5' most trying circumstances. They w have learned many a lesson that will 4 ig tg serve them in their years of life. He ik! has taught the boys some of the ,J ' 3 l fundamentals of pyschology, and 0 ' T Q much practical geometry. When this ,x if l great man steps before the student , ,Q ,K body they are practically thrilled to 5 kt the core. Literally, he came, he , 0 f saw, and he conquered. 6 I lt is to Mr. Bresnahan that the 3 1? H, ' school owes an enormous debt that I. , ' A li probably never can be repaid. To this ' ii, p . N self-sacrificing man we are indebted 'N l 'of ' V me ' for any success and all our progress 5 f Q that may have been achieved. VVe U MR' JAMES BRESNAHAN rise to you, Mr. Bresnahan, in a l Rf'-Vkffban Coafh spontaneous work of gratitude. JOHN In-xr.1.r:R.
