Power Obir6 H’fiijb ME smallest class in the school' is the proud boast of Third High B. With but eleven members the class has succeeded in placing a man in almost every High School activity. At the election held early in the year John Noonan was elected to lead the class in the capacity of President. As an able assistant John Titus received the unanimous nomination for the office of ice-president. Although Third High placed but one man on the basketball team he was a mighty good one. Titus was always “there” and outplayed every man he went up against with the possible exception of the giant from Wichita. The same man achieved distinction on the football field. His dashing runs during the last season will long be remembered by High School sport followers. And now a word for our teachers. Mr. Harkins, S. J.. taught the class Latin and Greek during the past year. Whatever we have learned in these branches we owe largely to his whole-souled work. Coach O’Rourke this year took over the teaching of Third High B’s English course. Father Roemer taught our Catechism class. Professor Donoghue was our History teacher. To all of these we wish to express our deepest appreciation for their persevering efforts in our behalf. May we have as fine a teaching staff during the rest of our years in school as have fallen to our lot this past year! Page Eighty-three

In a B pjjSfl short time there was a bond of friendship in Third A. that held us to-gether throughout the year and will no doubt continue through life. We have enjoyed the year and gained some profit from it. Under the tutelage of Father Dolan, we are now able t understand Cicero, master the mysteries of Creek, and write a presentable English composition. When we assembled last fall, we exhibited a profound ignorance of that elementary part of class work, oral recitation. Father Dolan has worked hard and long teaching us to speak distinctly, clearly and correctly. As yet we are far from perfect: hut we are certainly not as had as we were in September. English, a study too often neglected, received the greatest attention in Third A. By assiduously attending to the principles of Knglish composition and by writing a two hundred word theme every day. we have attained a fair degree of proficiency. In the hardest test, the semester essay of one thousand words, each member of the class made a presentable showing. In athletics, too. we have acquitted ourselves well. Our two representatives on the High School football team. Cletus I luck and Neil Hayes, merited letters. Practically all of the class participated in the leagues, and all did themselves credit. We take this occasion to thank our esteemed teacher, bather Dolan, and every member of the faculty who has helped us in our efforts. It has been a most pleasant and successful year, and we feel highly indebted to those without whose kindly aid we could have accomplished little. Pag? Eighty-!tco

U ir6 U’figl) €ngli$b EPTEMBER, nineteen hundred and twenty-six. found a group of boys, some new and some old. forming a class that had lofty ideals, both in studies and in sport. Our roster included some of the most important men on the campus either noted for their academic or for their athletic ability. Everything seemed to g right on the athletic field, but frequently things did not go so well in the classroom. The various subjects were at last conquered, however, and much credit for our success must be given to Father V. R. Roemer, S.J.. in English and Cathechism; Mr. Gibbons, S.J.. in Chemistry: and Mr. Donoghue in History. As each year went by it found us nearer our goal. Each year a number of new hoys have come in and together with the old boys kept up. the high standard with which we started. It has been the class aim to do the best work yet, and we feel that we have accomplished much. Our class is comprised of boys from Chicago to Mexico, and from Texas to Kentucky. All sections are equally represented for something. Chicago receives its fame from Titus, who was the outstanding athlete, being on the football and basketball teams. Scholastic honors go to Rarousse and Krebs of Mexico and Illinois respectively, both of whom have made enviable records in their studies. Frank Eouy is the Kansas representative both for scholastic honors and the High School play. IIis part in the High School play was a very important one, and he deserves credit for his splendid acting. ‘dge Eighty-four
