NE WARM DAY last September a listless group of boys filed into Room 202 in the Rodman Hall. They were rendered listless, that state so rare in fellows of our age, by years of grinding work. But soon long- ing for vacation gave way, under the spirited influence and leadership of Mr. L. A. Gunn. S.J., to a will to work and a determination to succeed in studies. Since most of us had forgotten the Latin we had acquired so laboriously in first year, we needs must return for a lew weeks to first year matter to refresh our memories. When we entrained with Caesar for a trip through the Gallic provinces, nr found the famous general as involved in construction as he was strategic in war: pur H)se clauses and indirect questions found place in our growing intelligence. Mr. McCaffcry undertook the great task of teaching ns Geometry, a subject full of triangles and parallel lines. And “through long days of labor and nights devoid of ease” the class whistled sweet tunes to axioms and postulates. English Civics, History and Religion were imparted to us by Mr. Gunn. Although studies demanded most of our time we are proud to acknowledge those students and sportsmen who have distinguished themselves in football, basket-hall and baseball. We wish especially to honor Jimmie Reis, Tom Tainter and Johnnie Boyd, all outstanding athletes in the Small Yard and members of the Second High A. Adrian Dwyer and Eugene Farrell served the class well as i)resident and secretary. Page Eighty-five

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
