SENIOR CLASS HISTORY MN the far-off days of September, 1931, two-score freshmen entered the maze and wilderness of high school training at Seattle Prep. Aiming toward Mount Education, we plodded upward along Latin Ridge and across Algebra Creek under the tutelage of Fr. Moffat,S.J., and Mr. Coen. Our guides were George Goerig of One A and Ad Smith of One B. Around nightly campfires activities were partaken in freely. Grady brought the elocution medal into our fold. Dramatics drew Peter and Magnano, while Conley was an officer along Sodality Glacier. Junior and freshmen athletics abounded with the names of our group, and the orchestra called Bauer, Conley and Meagher. With the return of climbing activities we renewed vigorously our activities around the school. Aldo Morclli scrambled into the Lettermen s Club by way of Football Peak. Our monopoly of the declamation medal was continued by Goerig, with Peter reaching the height of debating to be in the Gold Medal Debate. When the Palestra made its various appearances, it was with Meagher as the managing editor. Mr. Sweeney, S. J., and Mr. Dussault, S. J., led us around Lake English and through the forest of public speaking. In the loyalty-point drive of our sophomore year we were led by Angelo Magnano of Two A to the heart-rending loss of first place, while Two B was among the leaders under Henry Martin. As a combined group of intellectual mountaineers, we were headed by Martin and advised by Mr. Logan, S. J. Perfection sparkled as the goal of all our performances. PACE NINE

ECHO SENIOR CLASS HISTORY-Continued On the treacherous gridiron many a foe was tackled by Martin, Morclli, Andrews, McNamara and Goerig; foul shooting ability marked Andrews' hoop play; and stellar perform-ances were assured when Rebhahn and Campbell cavorted on the diamond. Seaver and Bauer took up mountain yodeling, to the dismay of the class. Peter made gtxxl in the Gold Medal Debate, bringing the prize into our midst. Sodality members were numerous, with Conley as delegate to the national convention in Chicago. The major dramatic offering, His Father's Son, depended mostly on juniors. Again we predominated in numbers in the Elocution Contest, though not winning. Among our guides were Fr. Fink. S. J., around Religion View; Mr. Marshall, S. J., through Chemistry Cavern, and Mr. Burris, S. J., across History Canyon. Our last spurt up the icy slopes found twenty-three of our first group with thirteen others to bolster the thinning ranks. In the scholastic phases of the schtxd day we were aided by Mr. Evoy,S.J.,in English and debating. Mr. McDonald, S.J.,brought some of us through Virgil, economics and sociology; the propinquities of Xenophon were laid out to two lone, senior Greek-sters by Mr. Logan, S. J.; while the intricacies of French were made easy by Mr. Dachy, S. J., to a slightly larger class. Jose received a careful perusal in the Spanish class under Mr. O'Brien. S. J., who also developed eloquent after-dinner speakers. Higher mathematics and physics, the nemesis of many and the boon of a few, had Mr. Nealen, S. J., as a cheerful expositor amidst all its gloom. Religion teachers were as varied as their methods. Fr. Georgen, S. J., Fr. Maruca, S. J., and Fr. Logan, S. J., all undertook the task of making us spiritually ready for life. Glistening on the snowy pages of the Echo and Panther staffs were the names of many seniors. Notably present were Hayes, Conley, Meagher, Peter and Kane, from the literary standpoint; while Dibb, Smith, McHugh and O'Donnell handled finances. In debating we broke even with Gonzaga in a home and home contest; all the men being seniors who debated. For the Gold Medal Debate, Hayes, Magnano, Rebhahn and Kane represented us. The Elocution Contest gathered Moriarty, Goerig and McNamara. Dramatic productions were resplendent with seniors in the lead for all three major offerings. The orchestra found only one fourth-year veteran in Conley. Many new stripe bearers enhanced our room- Kane, Cole, Belford, Lyons and Magnano all making the grade in football. Basketball found only one new senior from last year in the personage of Rebhahn, who also was baseball captain. He and Andrews looped through many in the tense and needed times. Our fine football record can be justly credited to the steadiness and ability of the veterans coupled with the eagerness of the newcomers. The Sodality had many prominent seniors as officers and members. Magnano was prefect, aided by Andrews, Conley, Peter and Bauer. Dahline was an assistant. New Sodalists were Casey, Emerson, Spillane, McNcrney and Herkenrath. Starr became famous for his monthly visits with the Queen's Work, the Sodality magazine. Newcomers to us in the last year were Buchanan, Orth and Nepple. Among the managers for the various sports were McGuire in basketball and Andrews in baseball. Novel ideas were fostered in the brains of some seniors with the result that the Echo drive was started off with the best assembly program in years. Provincial Day found talks being given by seniors in French and Greek, besides the classy production of Uncle Tom's Cabin. In the last and most enjoyable year of our trek to reach the peak the following class officers were always ready to lead the party in hardship and danger: John Peter, president; Angelo Magnano, vice-president; Jack Starr, secretary-treasurer, and Bob Rebhahn, sergeant-at-arms. Thus it is that we have climbed Mount Education under the guidance of Seattle Prep, and we leave with the hope that in succeeding years other seniors will enjoy as happy a year as 193? has been to us.
