Father Doyle, S. J., became our guide in Sophomore work. Though we were under his benevolent moderation, his tutelage covered only Geometry and Religion. It took Mr. Fahy, S. J., to imbue us with an adequate knowledge of English and History. We enjoyed our Latin under Mr. Logan, S. J. As a result of the first semester elections, Thomas Lyons filled the presidential chair, Gregory Landon wielded the gavel as vice-president, John Martin held a portfolio as secretary, and Kenneth Quimby was minister of the exchequer. Christmas vacation, prolonged by the flu epidemic, was followed by intensive repetitions for the semester exams. The second semester witnessed an interchange of members between Sophomore A and B. Frank Petschl was the newly elected president for the second semester. Dan English succeeded Gregory Landon as vice-president; John Sneeringer and William McCaffray were elected to the offices of secretary and treasurer. Under their able direction our year has come pleasantly to a close. TWENTY-THREE

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? I do feel so queer.” English: That’s all right, John. You’ll feel better when the exams are over. That’s nothing but the moon.” Martin: But Dan, if that’s the moon down there, what am I doing up here?” ❖ ❖ ❖ Flajole: Why are so many Echo subscribers like baby chickens?” Carey: Why’s that, Flajc?” Flajole: All you see is a little down today and a little down each week.” TWENTY-TWO

Ciunt Sophomore B JUST as surely as June meant vacation and the old swimming hole, so surely did September mean the re-opening of school and the continuation of our search for knowledge, not, however, as Frosh, but with a certain amount of dignity which becomes those who have advanced to the Sophomore year. In football, Dan English was the fiery quarter who was the spirit of the eleven; Herb Conyne performed at end and half; Cannon won his letter in the line; Don MacDonald was assistant manager for the High School Eleven. English performed on the Midget basketball team, and Hurley, Conyne, and MacDonald on the Junior team. College Night saw our class make a big hit with their Classroom Act. After Christmas a new division of Second High was made. Herb Conyne led the class as president, with Tom Morgan as vice-president, and Don MacDonald as keeper of the class notes and shekels.” In baseball, Dick Haughian won glory for himself and our class by helping to hurl the team to its first victory over O’Dea in the initial meeting of the teams. Ynyr Atkinson, in the Lettermen Smoker, boxed an exciting draw with Scarp of Third High. In the Elocution Contest our class was ably represented by Atkinson and Guest. Atkinson took second honors for the evening and Guest gave a very good account of himself. The prospect is good for a strong swimming team. Our year has been a pleasant and successful one, and thanks are due to the good efforts of our teacher, Mr. Logan, S.J. TWENTY-FOUR
