CLASSES CONTINUED EYE THE FUT RE FOR 4-08 The class of 408 is composed of forty members representing var- ious parts of the city, including Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Richmond and Long Island. This class even has a few hearty members hailing from New Jersey. The scholastic endeavors of 408 include Spanish, World History, Business Arithmetic and bi- ology, with the exception of a few members who bravely tackle Latin and geometry. The ambitions of these young men range far and wide. At the beginning of a typical day, the students report for daily sessions of Spanish with Mr. Longhi. At the commence- ment of the class something unique happens. The students re- cite the prayers in Spanish. Following the correction of home- work and the daily lesson, accompanied by the assignment of studies, the members of 408 take leave of this class and proceed to their next subject where Brother Leader explains the mysteries of biology to them. Another instructor is Mr. Spina, who tries his best to explain the fundamentals of business arithmetic to part of the class. Brother Considine instructs another part of the class in biology. The class of 408 may be considered a very active group when it comes to extra-curricular activities. This group of boys are avidly interested in football, basketball, bowling, swimming and track. Among the other activities engaged in by this class are: the band, the Poster Club, and the Mission Stamp and Dance committees. The ambitions of 408 include professions in all walks of life. Just to name a few, the boys would prefer to be draftsmen, po- licemen, doctors, and engineers, and many others. To predict the future of 408 would be an impossibility. The boys, however, through their clear thinking and adroit zeal will have little troubleiin securing a position in life. Also 408 is pray-- ing earnestly in this respect and thus is insuring the reward which is the pinnacle of all goals, the reward of heavenly bliss. YES, BOB, I HAVE AN ELEVATOR PASS!

Bowling, a recreation in which many of the students take part is well represented by class 407. Bob Marino, Paul Kroll, William Wallace, and Ed Fruedenberg comprise a great part of the Sopho- more Bowling League. Also included on the team are Bob Dejewski, and jim Macaluso, two of the high scorers. Another activity in which 407 shines is the Power Glee Club. George judge and Donald Macina lift their voices in song once or twice a week to help keep the Glee Club the success that it is. The band and Junior Varsity basketball team are ably assisted by John Bruno and Harold Jeffrey respectively. The newly formed Camera Club had a good start this year with the Flash Caseys of 407, namely, Frank Keenan, George Judge, Donald Macina and Ed Freudenberg. An interesting class schedule is enjoyed'l by these sophomores. The seeds of wisdom are sown by Mr. Liggio, the official teacher, Mr. Hacynski, biology, Mr. Keenan, English, Brother McAdams, Religion, Brother Conefrey, Latin, and Brother McLoughlin, ge- ometry. Thursday is a big day in 407ls curricular because this is the day of their gym period. One person constantly found stretching his muscles in the confines of the gymnasuim is Steve Aitkin, This per- iod, which is taken lightly by some, has found a true fan in the stu- dents of 407. They realize that in their intramural games and ex- ercises they are working together and are practicing the hallmarks of goodisportsmanship. The sportsmenlike qualities of this class combined with its never ending zeal and enthusiasm make it an outstanding sophomore class. 48
