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

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

Freshman B sf Nh HE opening day of school for 1935-36 found thirty pairs of eyes in the class of IB MIL iW) gazing with admiration and wonderment upon their teachers who were assigned to MBA the task of guiding these boys over the rough and smooth spots in the course prepar- ing them for the steady training of their minds for the rest of the school year. Latin, Religion, and English were to be taught by Fr. Joseph Gillespie, S. J., Algebra by Fr. Henry Suelzer, S. J.. and History by Mr. Frank Young. However, with brave hearts and dauntless ambition, these thirty freshmen began their career of higher education in St. John's. After the formalities of getting acquainted with the teachers as well as with one another were over, the class began in earnest. Although many of the boys found Latin difficult at times, under the tutorship of Fr. Gillespie, this class disolayed remarkable efforts. For, at the reading of the marks in February, William Malone received class honors and second honors were merited by Joseph Hillebrand, William Sanford, Burt Ryan, James Rutherford, and Thomas Maloney. Some of the activities of IB were the distribution of food and clothing to several of the needy families of the city on Thanksgiving Day, and a class party held January 27. In the activities of the school |B was well represented and the class supported every activity whole- heartedly. As the end of the school year approaches their hearts are glad to realize that they have upheld the esteem of St. John's and the freshmen, and the memories of their first year will al- ways be cherished. page thirty-on?¢
