FIRST B Let us look back over the history of the peat year. When school began on Sep- tember 6th the hundreds of new pupils were divided into nine classes. each under a capable teacher. Thirty pupils were more fortunate than the others, assigned to First E, known by all as one of the best classes in the entire school. Our basketball team was ex- ceptionally 306d, winning all but two of Ith'e'igames played. The second semester was. if anything, more succeesful than the first, due not only to the great amount of studying dhne by the students, but also to the untiring zeal of Mr. Welply and Father D'aly. In the annual eIocution con- test Francis Dittman and Ber- nard Gertie. two'hoys from our roomu gained considerable .dis- tinction. . 'Before 'Easter the school conducted a very interesting and successful retreat. These annual retreats are the main reason why St. Xavier wields such a potent intluence in the formation of Catholic manhood. They are the chief defense against the powers of destruc- tion that threaten the stability of our future life. being ToP-Tudor, Seifert, LeRoy. Currus, . CENTER-Kenkel. Fanning. Megerle. Sonnernann.

This stand- ard is the platform of each one of the members of this class. and its application by them accounts for the success they have had in so many of their undertakings. Its football team finished with Hying colors. not tasting defeat during its entire schedule, while the basket- ball and baseball teams have also proved to be of good calibre. Th'ree students have shown by their fine work that First F quality prevails. Paul Steinbicker finished the hrst semester with the highest average of all the High iSchool students, a record in itself. John Bolts Crowley has gained a position as center on the All-City High School basketball team, and now is holding down the initial sack o'f the High School baseball team. Ray King. who played halteback on the peerless High School team has, by his exceptional playing and fast work, earned him- self a position on the second All- City High School football team. In almost every class there are diEerent sorts of comedians, jokers and stars. First F is not an ex- ception. Only one student has re- ceived below a passing average for the first semestere-this being in only one study-so that all things counted in. thia class had, indeed. made its tint year at St. Xavier a banner year.

St. Xavier High School. began the year under the guidance of Mr, Wester- fteldb W First H held sessions in the law '1 library for about two weeks. when the class was transferred to its room on the fourth floor in the right wing of the High School Building. Here it remained and linux- ished all during the winter months. Nothing happened outside the usual routine of class. except the removal. of a few boys to a newly opened class-room and the plz-iying of two games of football by the crass team, from both at which it emerged victorious. until the basketball season opened. Again H proved the vie tor by winnnig the champion- ship of the Noon-Day Basket- ball League. and receiving the grize of $27.00. which had een oEeredt to the conquering team. In this sport, not a game was lost by First H. Then came the mid-year ex- ams. but none of the boys failed and the room kept it: full quota of thirty students. After the basketball season came a time of inactivity, which was linally broken by the um- pire's words of I'Piaty Ball. So far the team of H has not been defeated in any sport, for she won all her baseball games which she has played so far, together with the one in- door game in which the partici- pated, thereby earning the right to say that,in no sport has she yet been defeated, and we hope she never will feel the con- queror's tread. The boys of this class are now preparing for the hnal ex- ams, and they all hope to do as we in their studies as they have done in sports. THE XAVERIAN NEWS FIRST HIGH G TOP-J. Bennett, Ryan.
