The Juniors the beginning of school many new and also many familiar faces appeared for their Junior year. The division of the classes was abolished to make one large body of ’’debonair and sophisticated Juniors.” Class officers were soon elected. Joe Danz was unanimously elected president. Bill McClain was given the honorary position of vice-president and hasn’t used his authority yet. The duties of secretary-treasurer gave Jim Parks something to do and the official bouncer turned out to be none other than the famous Spanish student, Frank Carroll. Our new status as Juniors gave us a certain independence as to classes heretofore unknown. We were allowed to choose one of three subjects: Greek, French and Spanish. As usual, about two-thirds chose Spanish and the other third was about evenly divided between French and Greek. Sports by now began to cause sonic interest. Football turnout was called and claimed quite a few of Third High. Half of the Panther backfield and line were Juniors. Among the brighter lights were Jim Parks, Frank Carroll, Carl Scarp and Fred Rosaia. The Junior squad was honored with the presence of three J. R.’s. Dunn, Haus and Steele were regulars on this team, with Dick Carey also seeing TWENTY-ONE

Senior Class p-IE first week of September, 1925, found a large enrollment of Freshmen. After four years of successful studies, twenty-seven are graduating from the school. The two divisions of the class of ’29 were given a good send-off in their Freshman year by Mr. Coen and Mr. Mifsud, S. J. The second year we remained divided, one part under Mr. Logan, S. J., the other under Mr. McDonnell, S. J. However, as Juniors we united into a large class under Mr. Logan, S. J., and now we arc in our final year directed by Mr. Spearman, S. J. This June we go forth equipped with a sound education and a firm foundation for life. Some will enter into the business world, others will further their education at college, while others will go forth to teach the word of God; but wherever we go, be it north, south, cast or west, these happiest years of our life will never be forgotten. Members of our class have been found in every school activity from the time we first set forth on the campus. We have been well represented on the gridiron, basketball floor, baseball field, in dramatics and debates. Now, with well developed minds and sturdy bodies, we feel capable of taking in society a place worthy of our Christian education. It is the earnest hope of every graduate that our old Alma Mater will never have a reason to be ashamed of us and that we will always be a credit to the school that formed us. TWtNIY

some action. The only real injury was suffered by Jack Steele, who received a broken ankle in the last O’Dea tussle. The turnout for basketball again brought the Juniors to life. Carroll, Scarp and Carey were the representatives on the school quintet, while Green, O’Keefe, Dunn and a few others gave the Junior squad a little pep. Just in the middle of the season a flu epidemic hit the school and played havoc with the basketball teams. Of course Christmas vacation also helped make the fellows miss practice, but who cares? It’s over now. The mid-year exams were on our heels by this time, so everybody crammed. A change resulted from the ex’s. The chemistry class was split for the simple reason that it was too large and quite a few had flunked. Not being a compulsory study, those who did not want it were asked to drop it. The English class was correspondingly divided. Class-rooms became more tiresome as the days went on, but with the first baseball turnout life took on a new aspect. With good material Coach O’Connor began to sift his men. The team resulting was a good one all around and good on the diamond—until their first opponent! As Frank Carroll said, They have the baseball sense, but they seem to have left it at home.” The Juniors, of course, constituted a major part of the team. Just in the middle of the season Fred Rosaia, the star pitcher, suffered a broken ankle received off the field. This broke the spirit of the team somewhat, but they came back to beat O’Dea twice, 9-8 and 15-4. By this time our minds lightly turned to thoughts of swimming, tennis, class picnics, and even vacation. Uppermost of these was that of the class picnic. The picnic was held at Lake Lucerne. It was the best one yet, even if Burke and O’Keefe did drink enough pop to drown the lake. Our only regret after coming home was that we hadn’t eaten so much. Repetitions followed immediately after the picnics to prepare for the final exams. After three weeks of sweating and tiresome work we finished the year with a great sigh of relief. Every one of us are now the big spuds in the patch, the 'Seniors.” •fr ❖ ❖ Martin (on the railing of University Bridge at midnight): Daniel, I say, er—what is that I see down there?
