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.

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.

Victory has not always perched on our banner. yet we rise from defeat with unclaunt- ed spirit, determined to succeed the next time. Our students are of'the type of the genuine American boy. We are not over studious. yet we are a jolly. good-naturecl crew, possess- ing an ample share of humor, yet withal limiting that humor when duty commands it. We. have a good class organization, .with an efficient president. secretary and custodian of the cash. High School Sodality From the earliest days of the school the tradition has existed that devotion to Our Lady is a requisite for success, andtthe students of the past have an enviable record as mem- bers ot the Soclality; It is dbubtful. however. whether at anytime more devotion and self-sacriflce has been shown than during the year just closing. In fact. so great was the enthusiasm manifested by the boys that it made ya division of the Soclality necessary, and so it was thought advisable to form a branch for the Freshmen alone, with a full set of officers and a different clay of meeting. 50 we had the meet- ing of the higher classes on Wednesday and the Freshmen on Mondays-and after class. This last, meeting after class, meant a great sacrifice for many, and yet all made it, and continued to be faithful to the final meeting of the year. Of course, there were many outstanding features in the meetings. and out of them. that made the year a memorable one; hut space does not allow us to do justice to all of them. However. the wonderfhl celebration of the feast of the lm- maculate Conception will long linger in the memories of those present, when nearly four hundred and fifty from all parts of the city and suburbs met to receive Holy Com- munion in honor of their Queen, and the older members re- newecl their act of conseciation, whilst the Freshmen made their first act to uOur Queen. Our Advocate and Our Mother. And the Blessed Virgin blessed our year and made it a happy one, and, we hope. a successful one. Much of the success and'enthusiasm of the year in the concluct of the Sodality and its activities was owing to our splendid and faithful oHicers, and the names of Joseph Egan, Prefect, and George Nunner, with Herbert Barn- hom the assistants of the Senior Sodality; of Louis Keller. Prefect, and Paul Naish and Paul Baurichter, assistants, deserve to be handed down to the officers of coming years for remembrance. Rev. George Leahy, S. J.. was the Director of the Junior and Senior Sodalities.
