Day after day and week after week, he has his heart set to do his Quinta work faithfully so that he may become a full-fledged Freshman, a real college boy. The Second Prep is therefore the most enthusiastic stud- ent and is exemplary of true college spirit. Of course, this class cannot boast, because it has not as yet been capable of producing expert ball playersi fast basket-ball players, keen tennis sharks, or superior track meng but they have excel- lent material, and, when the time is corne, their Alma Mater will realize the full value of the Second Preps of '16, and join to speak the praise wherein the Prep rejoices. ti- f. ,iz -----gffivflllil-irlllllr

Upon the foundation the Quintaner receives de- pends, to a very great extent, the success or failure of his college years. For this reason he is generally more addicted to the studying habit than some of the other classes. At St. John's the Second Prep is an anxious student.

As our parochial school system is not so advanced as to render a student eli- gible to enter college, we have two preparatory classes. The new student begins his college life by entering the first preparatory. As this is the most exciting year for a young boy, it is generally relished immensely.
