History. Chemistry was handled by Mr. Griefp Spanish by Mr. O'Brien, French by Mr. Dachyg and Ill B Latin by Mr. Geis. As always the class of '36 predominated everything it entered upon. Two members, DeDonato and Brandmeir, were student-body officers. In the lntra-mural Basketball League, lll A was victorious, but only after a hard chase by Ill B. In Debating, III A was well represented by O'Gorman and Wilson whose splendid speeches rated high in the Gold Medal Debate. Brislawn and De- Donato fired flowing orations at the listeners of the Annual Elocution Contest. At the graduating exercises, three medals were bestowed on members of '36. Dave King received the Latin Medal, lack Naughton, the William Kendall Memorial Beward, and Dick DeDonato, the Loyalty Medal. The third year had passed and the classmen of '36 found themselves well advanced towards their Senior year and distinctively prominent in the eyes of the remaining student-body. Eager to make our last year the happiest and most enjoyable, the class of '36 assembled for school in September, l935, full of pep and enthusiasm. As usual the class elections were heldg in IV A, Dick DeDonato for the third successive term was elected president: lack Green, vice-president, and lack Naughton, secretary-treasurer. In IV B, Bud Nestor accepted his second. term as president: lack Noser was vice-president, and Dick Kelly, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Dowd performed an excellent task in instructing IV B English, and Mr. Evoy taught the same subject to IV A. Except for the Latin class, which was directed by Mr. Gerald McDonald, the classes were combined for the remain- ing subjects. Mr. Nealon will always be remembered for his friendly manner of teaching us Physics and Trigonometry, and Mr. Walterskirchen's dogmatic lectures in Civics will never be forgotten. Father Maruca conducted the Religion classes and was Moderator of the Sodality. The Echo and Panther will remain as a lasting memorial to the journalistic efforts of Ed Donohoe, Fred Hebert, lack Kearny, Dick Kelly, and Bob C'Gor- man, who constantly strove to place these publications on a high literary pedestal. Dick Kelly and Bob O'Gorman, Editor and Associate Editor of the Echo respectively, believe they have given the class of '36 a fitting remem- brance of their happy school days at Seattle Prep and that the Echo in years to come will provide genuine entertainment by its realistic photographs and reminiscent accounts. Besides those who contributed to the literary success of these periodicals were DeDonato, Russell, and Ursino, who ably managed the finances and business which the Echo entailed. In Dramatics, Ioe Russell was outstanding for his portrayals of comic life. Other notables in the Dramatic Club were DeDonato, a veteran of many plays: Claudon and Sheehan. The lone senior, representing the school in outside debates, was Bob O'Gorman, who twice defended us against the ravages of the Gonzaga Debate Club. In the world of sports the class of '36 was especially prominent. There were many men who participated in all three major sports and their brilliant record will long be remembered by Prep fans. Thus we have come to the end of our high school life. With Commencement over, we will have passed beyond the confines of Seattle Prep. lt has been a long steady grind, but the Class of '36 persevered. With heartfelt gratitude we thank the Faculty for their kind efforts on our behalf, and hope that our future accomplishments will be a credit to their institution. It is our desire that in succeeding years, we forty-one graduates will preserve the youthful friendships that have been formed at the Prep. lil I-1 '76
