Though handicapped by our small number, we showed great enthusiasm in all extra activities and sports. Paul Seitz, captain of the A team of basketball, was chosen from among us, giving us an air of superiority over our old rivals, the Seniors. Sports have been, perhaps, the most enthusiastically received of all school activities by our class. In the intramural basketball league, with a small team of five, we fought our way to the first place and yielded only to the league winning Seniors. However, in a class to class game, we defeated the Seniors once, but bowed to them in a second game. Our religious duties have by no means been opaqued by sports or other school activities. We have taken major interest in them and put to practice all the teachings :we have received. For this and for the pamphlet library which we so greatly treasure we wish to thank, especially, Bro. Stephen, our home-room teacher. We sincerely thank our teachers for their patience towards us throughout the year. We also wish all the luck to the graduating Seniors in their future accomplishments.

We had already had some experiences in high school in our Freshman year, and we knew that the subjects we were about to take would be necessary in life. We were told that all the subjects would be hard, especially geometry, but we passed it with flying colors with the help of our teacher, Brother Xavier. We started strong in number and full of will power to study, but in the first semester, we had to say goodby to some of our comrades who couldn't make the grade, and welcome some others who wished to try. For the Propagation of the Faith we gave generously and cheer- fully because we kndw what good our money does. We were very few in number but we gave more than S75.00, an average of about 56.00 per pupil. We had, also, a 100 W membership for the Red Cross. For the football team our class produced Felipe Luna, the center, well known for his 90 yard run after intercepting a pass by the opposite team. Felipe Luna also played on the school basketball team. The class elected the following officers: President ccrr rrrr or Edward Talamas Vice-President ccccc.c Raymond Lozano Secretary rcrc . S Felipe Luna Treasurer rrrr.. ,,.r M Alfred Renteria The class officers proved very successful in every attempt. Now, as the end of the year is in sight, we all look back and think of all the pleasures and hardships that most of us have endured. And so, we thank all the brothers, especially Bro. James, our home teacher, without whose guidance and patience we would have never been able to overcome our difficulties. I' x1ojoiu11::1zioi1rjarj1rj1rioj1ri1r14r:4ri4rZ4r1ari1r14rj1
