Bill Bellmqer Michael Colcrcurro Richard DeDonato Frank Nestor Wally Carrcll Treasurer Sergeant-at-Arms President Vice-President Secretary ELIEVING the attaining of its objectives could be better realized by individual class organizations, and class to class campaigns cooperating toward a common end, the Seattle Prep student body did not hold so many meetings during the year as in former years. However, its record of school spirit and achievement, attained through inter-class rivalry and the cooperation of teachers, student body officers, and class officers, conclusively shows the merits of this system. An open-air assembly on the front steps of the school was held a few days after the commencement of school. Richard DeDonato, as the new student body president, introduced to the students Father Logan, the new principal: and then the rest of the student body officers. A group of Seniors gave short introductory talks on the Sodality and various activities. Coach Walterskirchen, as the final speaker, emphasized the school spirit needed for the success of the coming football season, and was enthusiastically received. All through the football season, pep rallies were held before the games to imbibe both the student body and the team with the fight of victory. The most spectacular of these demonstrations was the fifty-foot O'Dea game bonfire in the middle of the campus, accompanied by songs, yells, and snake dances. At a student body meeting, the Columbian Squire Trophy, emblematic of the Catholic football championship, was awarded for the second consecutive year to the Prep. In presenting the trophy to Captain Frank Nestor, lack Sylvestor praised the school as having the most outstanding school spirit he had ever come in contact with. Then came the successful sponsoring of Father Maruca's Italian Dinner. Second year and Senior A classes were outstanding in their support of the affair. Born Lucky proved to be the most successful school play yet held. The Sophomores and Freshmen accredited themselves well in the sale of tickets. A smoker was then held for the benefit of the basketball team. Nine three-round bouts were staged, but from the standpoint of most of the specta- tors, they were surprassed in interest by the entertainment given by talented members of the student body. With the announcement of the proposed Echo, a drive for subscriptions was successfully promoted by the Senior class, with a final total of over 220 subscriptions. In the middle of May, an assembly was held in the gymnasium to nominate the candidates for the student body primary elections. It started off the most active student campaigning in recent years. With such avid interest displayed by the students in the election of their representatives, efficient and loyal student body officers were assured for the coming year. As the curtains fall on a year of school spirit and activity, special recogni- tion must be extended to the members of the faculty and especially to Mr. Flaiole, S.I., and Mr. Coen, for their cooperation in all school affairs, without which many of the student body's efforts would have been in vain. Outstanding among the individual classes in the school were the Freshman and Sophomore A and B classes, and the Senior A class. Their loyalty will go down indelibly with the years, etched deeper and deeper, with the passage of time on the minds of all. I-I p 1X- -JG
