Eugene Kwapich was given the office of Class Historian. During the year Sophomore ''B'' has been prominent in all athletics. Paul Ferstle was elected captain of the intramural football team. ''2B ' was scored upon only once, and carried off the honors of the Junior Division Championship. Under the captaincy of Kenneth Couture, 2B also gained distinction and another championship award in the intramural basketball league. John Oatis has been chosen captain of the intramural baseball league. Additional laurels came to the class in the matter of studies. At the semester five of the class made an average of 90 or above; six gained second honors. In a Latin vocable contest 2B won easily from 2A. In school activities, 2B was ever active. This class supplied the orchestra and dramatic club with some excellent talent. Many of its members were represented in the Acolythical Society; all the officers of the Junior Sodality. were chosen from this class with one exception and two members were on the Knight Herald staff. The class was on top or very near the top in all the drives made by the school. 2B came in second for the Chronical subscriptions drive, the ticket sales for the high school play, ''Merry Madness, ' and also ads and patrons for the Pictorial. Yes, the success of Sophomore ''B has been remarkable. They, therefore, take this oc- casion to thank those who have been placed over them for their efforts in their regard. age twenty-n1 4

Sophomore A ZI (Ny, ED by the president of the class, Kenneth Croll, vice president, James Brady, secre- jy) tary, Frank Gerold, and treasurer, Paul Effler, 2A has completed a representative school year, having displayed scholastic ability and having been represented in nearly all elcal organizations and activities. In the weekly mission collections, 2A has been consistently at the top and in the Bishop's drive for the spread of the Catholic Chronicle, representing the Catholic press in Toledo, they were the leaders among the classes of the high school. Among the notables of this class were: Robert Riley, Junior Sodality president, and assist- ant editor of the last issue of the Knight Herald, and Robert Forrester, president of the junior Acolythical Society. The honor men were Frank Gerold, Robert Riley, Kenneth Croll, John Malone, Edward Glynn, and Joseph Dollman. Others were members of the Knight Herald staff, Camera Club, and the Masquers. They had in their midst an author, James Grady, known throughout the year for his novel short stories. This class, under the supervision of Fr. William Toomey, S. J., became ardent Latin students. This was accomplished by. forming a Latin honor club for students who attained an average of ninety or above and various teams to promote interest in the study. However, in an interclass contest with the other sophomore class, 2B defeated these earnest students of Caesar. In athletics, although 2A was not the most outstanding team, they fought bravely and de- terminately. Their indoor team was led by the class president, Kenneth Croll. The class of 2A will remember its first two years at St. John's as full of happy memories. page twentqgy=-e4 ¢h t

Freshman A wg TH pride can !A scan the receding horizon of 1936 and say that its success was due ‘to two noble qualities of its members—Cooperation and Generosity. Success in WGA studies, in class enterprises, and in school activities can be attributed to these. Hence fe ole is justly proud of its achievements as are also its officers: John Schoen, president; Frank Sullivan, treasurer, and George Beeley, secretary. Deeply grateful are they also to their able teachers, Fr. Nicholas Mann, S. J., and Mr. Jerome Zipprich, S. J. With the opening of school, thirty-four freshmen sat at their desks, each intending to do his best and win class honors. At the presentation of honors in February, less than half had achievea their goal. Seigfried Muessig was awarded highest honors. No demand on their salesmanship went unheeded. Patrons were obtained for the play and their quota of tickets was sold. Equally prominent were their cooperation and generosity in striving to make this year's Pictorial a success. In sports |A was a constant contender for the leadership. In basketball George Beeley and Robert Driscoll were promoted to the lightweights, while Bernard Scheuer and Herman Eberle played on the frosh team. Many of |A's students represented the frosh on the grid- iron and many of them are now starring in baseball under Mr. Zipprich. Frank Sullivan and Richard Bridenbaugh served on the Knight Herald staff, and Richard Uhl was the first Freshman in recent years to win a Knight Herald contest. Truly can it be said that |A has caught the spirit of St. John's. Congratulations and fare- well! page tharty
