FRESHMAN A ALTHOUGH One A can boast of no classical honors, such as medals and the like, yet it can boast of a fairly successful year as far as loyalty is concerned. Being the smallest class of the three freshmen divisions, it has tried to fill the gap by demonstrating superior quality. Under the wise and kind direction of Mr. Hermens. S. J., and our other devoted teachers. Mr. Greif, S. J.. Mr. Coen and Mr. McGruder. we have striven to mould our lives according to the true standards that mark a loyal studnt of Seattle Prep. Class elections were held early in the year with the following results: Kevin Leahy, president: Jack Rooney, vice-president: Alfred Marilley, secretary: Tom Broderick, treasurer: and Bob Wilds, athletic director. Our intellectual ability has been clearly demonstrated by our scholastic standings, though we have-not been noted for superior individuals. In athletics One A was well represented by Wilds and Sweeney in frosh-soph football: Labossiere and Marilley in frosh basketball: Wilds in varsity baseball; and Waite in frosh-soph baseball. Besides being well represented in the different sports. One A students abounded in the rooting sections. All in all, it can be said that One A has passed a very successful year—one upon which its members can look back with pride. FRESHMAN B 0N the pages of Seattle Prep's history the name of One B will long remain as an outstanding tribute to our class loyalty and school spirit. As moderator we had Mr. Coen, who also taught us the basic principles of algebra, history and English. Our Latin declensions were thoroughly learned under the guidance of Mr. O'Hara, S. J.. while Mr. Flajolc. S. J.. taught religion and public speaking. In the elocution contest Donohoe, English. McChcsney and Parolik were in the finals as our representatives. Our class officers at the end of the year were considerably changed from the first of the year due to sickness and change of classes. Richard Corrigan ended up as class president, with Harold McChcsney as his aid. Ed English was secretary and George Basel was sergeant-at-arms. Athletics called Basel. Bellinger. Donnelly and Sw-ccncy for football; LcClair. O’Brien. Basel. Peterson. Lyons and Dunton for basketball: and McChcsney. LcClair. O’Brien. Murphy. Dunton and Custer on the diamond. Literary talent was made use of through the class paper, known as the One B Herald. So closes the first year of an expected four cheerful years of high school training at Seattle Prep. FRESHMAN C 0UT of 100 entering freshmen, nearly forty passed into the portals of One C. Under the moderator-ship of Mr. Gcis, S. J.. who also taught us Latin and English, we held excellence as the goal of all our endeavors. In striving for this ideal, we gave our all in activities as varied as they were numerous. Frosh-soph football had DeDonato. Anderson. Joyce. Morrill, Noser and Rossman as letter winers. Fallon. Martineau. Noser. DeDonato and Joyce played on the capable frosh hoop squad, while the bantam roster claimed the Everett twins. Ebert and Scvcnich. along with McDonald. In baseball Joyce drew a varsity suit, and McHugh. Fallon and DeDonato made the frosh-soph team. We were well represented in the Junior Debate Club and Junior Sodality, both of which were directed by Mr. O’Hara. S. J. Class offices were held by Charles Morrill, president: Leo DeDonato. his assistant: and Ted Marcuse, secretary-treasurer. Scholastics who aptly imparted their knowledge to us were, in addition to those previously mentioned. Mr. O’Brien. S. J.. teaching algebra and religion, and Mr. Hermens. S. J., instructing us in history. Though One C may not be noted for anything outstanding this year, we feel certain that a foundation has been laid on which we can construct three exceedingly active and interesting years at Seattle Prep.
