lin Smile Olhnral Snrirtg ff l BUYIZ we see grouped the finest boys' choral society in the City of Detroit. Under the guidance of Rev, Brother A-X. john, F. S. C., the moderator of the society, and the tutorship of Professor ,Xlois Xleurer, this societv has developed into a wonderful organization. The work accomplished by this society during the past year has been marvelous and reflects great credit on Rev. Brother john and l'rofessor Nleurer. ln season and out of season the members have been present whenever duty called. Festivals. such as Christmas and lfaster, have seen the members out one hundred per cent strong. Good, hard, conscientious work has brought this society to the pinnacle it now occupies. It is safe to say that the members do not, at this time or at any other time, regret the little sacrifices they made when called upon to perform the duties of their offices at the various functions to which they were assigned. liarly and late the members worked hard in order to build up a great organization and they now glory in the fact that they have accomplished the object they set out for, A glance at the faces depicted above will convince one that these young men are types of real manhood, a manhood that brooks not defeat: nor the spirit it's too hard: it ean't be done. Each and every face mirrors a determined soul, a heart resolute and full of courage, a courage that will carry it on despite the fact that defeat is knocking at the door. Vve see nothing but a great future ahead of these young men, and we feel and trust that in the years yet to come they will attribute their wonderful success in life, not only to the training they received in class, but also to that which they reeeived while members of the l.a Salle Choral Society.

Ellnuilmll NTERCLASS football was the go until this year when under the able leader- ship of Rev. Joseph B. Marshke, '09, Coach, and Rev. Brother B. joseph, F. S. C., Athletic Director, St. joseph's put a school team on the gridiron for the first time. We were late in getting a start, but nevertheless in the short time that we had our men working we made a name for ouselvesg so much so, that as a result of our splendid work and the great write-ups given us by the Detroit Free Press, the Detroit N ews and the Detroit Times, that many teams whose challenges we had accepted withdrew, because they considered us to be out of their class alto- gether. In a word, they thought we were easy picking and 'thought prudence the better part of valor. Our season did not really open until October 28. but on October 12 we met Holy Redeemer at Pingree Park in a practice game, and although showing brilliant work for the first time, lost by a score of 7 to 2. Playing with a team of great experience we considered that we made a good showing and this inspired us to go out and bring home victory in our remaining games. Martin, Rapp and Clarke were our stars in this game.

We were returned the victor by a score of 21 to 0. The first half was a nip and tuck proposition with but one exception, when Rosary carried our men right down the field to the two-yard line, where our men held like a stone wall, thus preventing them from carrying the ball over in four downs. The hero of the day was Zelinsky, whose wicked toe saved the day after we held them on the two-yard line. Red Shaughnessy, who intercepted two forward passes, scored touchdowns on 'both occasions after making two beautiful forty-yard runs.

A tremendous hurricane was blowing that day and this helped our lads to mow Lourdes' line down like a scythe mows down a field of hay. Our stars were Burkheiser, Clarke, Elmer, Daust. We outplayed Lourdes in every department of the game. Our Stonewall defense was even greater in this game than it was during the Rosary game.

Playing in a quagmire of mud our lads put up a brave defense, but due to a fluke, a blocked punt, caused by the crowd, who hampered our punter on our one-yard line, we went down to our only defeat, for the Seminary soon had the ball over in two downs, thus breaking the 6 to 6 tie. Rapp starred for us. Burkheiser, who broke his hand in the first quarter, played the entire game.
