I'm just a freshman, starting high school, hut Dad is interested in my school. In September, when the Fathers Club had their Welcome Night. Dad took Mom down to school and introduced her to other Fathers Club members, their wives, and to some of my teachers. Mom and Dad still talk about the good time they had. On the first Sunday in November, Dad and I went to the Fathers Club Communion Mass in St. John’s Cathedral. It was a snowy morning, the streets were bad, hut we made it all right. Afterwards we had breakfast together at the Hollcndcn Hotel and heard Judge MacNamee speak. The fellows were all there with their dads. Mom and Dad went down to school again in February for a card party which the Fathers Club sponsored. The Scholarship Drive began in March and Dad worked awfully hard selling raffle hooks himself and getting his friends to sell them. Hut he said it was a good cause and wished he could do more. Like 1 say, its been twenty or thirty years since Dad graduated from high school, hut he certainly takes an interest in my school. 16

speak, blow, march! Those of us who were interested in speech made a start in debating. By working with the sophomores we learned how to present our case, how to make a rebuttal. Participation in four tournaments also gave us some actual experience. Others of us were interested in music and took lessons from Mr. Hearns. Soon we were drilling and practicing with the hand. We learned to march together and follow the drum major’s signals. We learned, too, that it’s not so easy to march in formation and blow your horn at the same time. Debaters have to know the debate manual completely. Examining it here are Marty I’uttnn, George McBride, John Barrett, Don Novak, and Mr. O'Reilly, S.J. 15
