THE

~~~~'''''llilllll~,,ll/iilfllâ&#x20AC;˘ "2 in 1"! think of that for a name.

Did it come easily?

No, sir; when

the name was suggested, immediately there was a conference of the wiseacres as to what it might mean.

Though the title was chosen some few months

ago, there are a few yet who are still wondering what it means.

I won't propose

to tell you all that it signifies. We were told that it was the name of a certain shoe polish and as such was made to shine.

Now you get the idea, or do you? However, you know you can't

get a shine from "2 in 1" except you rub it in. I wonder if that has anything to do with the name. Well , the student body of the class of " 21 " might not shine, but you cannot deny the fact that they are young men of some polish.

And whether they shine

in the years to come is a very deep and serious matter.

But here's hoping they

will. With this preface we give it to the generous reading public.

FORWARD THOUGH clouds may gather on the horizon near, And darkening shadows fall; Though light is hidden and the day seems drear, And life begins to pall, Yet somehow in the scheme of

~hings

we know,

Ordained by heaven above; That light will come, from clouds that now hang low; A brightness born of love. Look up; behind the rolling clouds o'erhead, See now the sun appears; Behold hi s rays whose glory oft will shed; Strong hope in coming years.

FRANCIS ALOYSIUS BARRETT ( L ep) Philadelphia, Pa. Hobby, Football, Basketball.

J OSEPH ALOYSIUS BRENN AN Norwood, Pa. Hobby, Football, Basketball.

Mr. Barrett, alias "Lep," is without a doubt one of the most popular students in La Salle. A true boy at heart and the cause of much fun and well, yes, trouble, at times. After finishing his grammar course at St. Elizabeth's School, "Lep," with his old side kick, Brennan, came to us, and believe me, he has been in evidence here very much, very much-so. There was no form of athletic activity that didn't find him ready to do and dare. And strange to say, he was good in all. Besides managing the basketball team of 1919, he was a star performer on both the basketball team and football team of 1920. The "Ouija" board and other occult forms have not told us what the future holds for "Lep," but we can make a safe bet by saying that he will make good. Well, here's the best of luck, " Lep."

Mr. Brennan has been a very familiar figure around La Salle for the past four years. Always a brilliant student and very active in athletics, he has managed to be in the spotlight, without ever losing his head, which is saying a great deal. Always alert to do everything possible for his class and school, he is always the first or among the first to start things and to see that they go through. We have not heard what the future holds for Mr. Brennan, but we do know from his skill in drawing, mathematics and kindred subjects. that he will make an efficient civil engineer. Well, Joe, go to it, you have our best wishes for future success.

FRANK JAMES BRACELAND (Doc) Hobby, Basketball, Chemistry. Philadelphia, P a.

P E TER A LPHONSO CALLAHAN (Pete) Philadelphia, Pa. Hobby, Studying Chemistry.

After finishing his grammar course m one of our local schools, "Doc" entered Central High, where he spent a year or so. He came to La Salle, entering our Fourth Year high with the ostensible purpose of taking a Pre-Medical Course, hence, you can see that he has not been dubbed " Doc" without a reason.

The most remarkable quality about Peter is, that he is always on the alert to help along a good cause. Active in every form of class and athletic activity, he can always be depended upon to see that things go through efficiently. In the football season of 1919, Peter was the mainstay of the team with his "never-say-die" spirit. As it is the intention of Mr. Callahan to study medicine, we are sure that he will, with the qualities he has so far displayed, be a success. You certainly have the best wishes of all the members of the class. Nothing succeeds like success, and we are sure that you have it in you to get it.

"Doc" is thoroughly in earnest; is a student and a perfect gentleman, and with these assets he will win out. Well. "Doc," go to it ; you have our best wishes for success.

WILLIAM PH ILI P CARLIN (Bill) Hobby, Trigonometry. Philadelphia, Pa.

JAMES JOSEPH EDMUND CALLAHAN (Mik e) Oak Lane, l:'a. Hobby, Automobiles, Good Roads.

"Bill" made his primary, elementary and intermediate studies in St. Edward's School and in the fall of 1917 matriculated at La Salle. Bill believes in taking nothing for granted, hence his great delight in the abstruse study of mathematics. It was thought for a while that "Bill" would go in for Civil Engineering. hence we find him alert in all that refers to mechanical drawing and mathematics. "Bill" is an ardent member of the Knights of Columbus, and as such we are told that he is the delight of the Council to which he belongs. Apart from this, "Bill" is a wann supporter of all that refers to old La Salle, and we find him on all occasions ready to do his little bit. We are sure that whatever career "Bill" selects, that he will make good.

James was a bright and brilliant student in St. Mary's Academy, which is somewhere on the York Road. After finishing in the grammar grade of this remarkable school, he betook himself to La Salle, and he is now on the road to finish his high school course. "Mike" is a staunch member of the Knights of Columbus, and we will expect big things from him in years to come. "Mike" is a hustler and worked hard to get the annual in shape. As far as we can understand, it is his intention to enter the Real Estate business. If he works as ha'rd at this business as he does now, we can predict for him a real successful career. Well, go to it, you have our best wishes for success. 24

JAMES ALOYSIUS CARR (Jim) Philadelphia, Pa. Hobby, Football, Basketball. "Jim" was born in the City of Brotherly Love and this trait has been very much in evidence during his entire stay in La Salle. He entered school when but six years of age and he has been here ever since. Apart from the fact that he is a splendid fellow, he has taken a very active part in athletics during the past few years, being picked out as an end on the All-Catholic team, which is, to say the least, a notable mark of distinction. It is the intention of "Jim" to enter the Wharton School of Finance. We are sure that he will make good, no matter where he enters, provided he keeps up his well-known traits. However, people are afraid of the last Car, look out, "Jim." 25

GEORGE ADAMS CRANDALL (Doc, Rabbitt) Hobby, Football. Racine, Wisconsin. George was born in the wild and woolly West, but believing that the wise men came from the East, he matriculated at La Salle in September of 1920, after a three years' stay in the Racine High School. George is a likable young man, quiet, affable but ready and alert. He shone particularly brilliant on the football team this present year and has made good also in his studies. We have it from a little bird that George intends to take up architecture. When he does, we are sure that he will make good. Well, here's hoping, George.

ALPHONSUS DEEHAN Hobby, A Little of Everything. Philadelphia, Pa.

MATTHEW I GNATIUS EDELMAN (Mat) Phi ladelphia, Pa. Hobby, Football, Coming Late.

Alphonsus is the third of his name to grace the academic walls of old La Salle. Always a general favorite and a thorough student of Shakespeare, he manages to get a hearing from every student in the class. Owing to circumstances over which he has no control, Alphonsus has not been able to keep up with the general run of things, yet he manages to be always on the job, whenever there is an opportunity to help along the good work.

Mr. Edelman is one of the Grimes-McGurk combination; a combination that has been very much in evidence for the past four years around La Salle College. M r. Edelman never lets worry trouble him and takes things very good naturedly, with the result that sometimes he loses out a bit. However, we have noticed, of late, a tendency to perk up and get on the job. We have not heard what the future will hold for "Mat," but from the earnestness with which he studies chemistry, we would not be surprised to see him go in for P harmacy or perhaps the study of medicine. Go to it, "Mat," we want good pharmacists and better doctors.

We have not heard in what future calling Mr. Deehan will shine, but a little bird whispered to us that he is seriously thinking of running a chain of tea stores in and around Philadelphia. Well, Alphonsus, we d_o hope that you will succeed. 2i

LEONARD FRANCIS FERRY ( Len) Hobby. Helping Brother Lucien. Philadelphia, Pa.

CHARLES PATRICK GALLAGHER (Gall) Hobby, Singing, Baseball. Philadelphia, Pa.

It wasn't his fault, but ''Len" was born, raised and partially educated in Camden . N . G., no, N. J \Veil, to make a short story shorter. after he had finish ;o d first in his class in Sts. Peter and Paul's School in hi s native city, he came to La Salle and has been leading his class ever since. Though not active in athletics, still he has been an ardent and warm rooter for La Salle and is always the first to help along the cause.

After finishing a very successful grammar school course in St. Co! umbia's School , Mr. Gallagh er came to us just four years ago, and he has been with us ever since. Mr. Gallagher possesses a strong baritone voice and between periods often lifts his voice in song. But apart from that, he manages to get there with his lessons, and in athletics he played the position on the baseball team in a very efficient manner.

From the interest that "Len" takes in Chemistry, we would not be surprised to see him go in for Chemical Engineering. If he does, we know that he will make good. And he may be sure that he has the best wishes of all the class.

It is said that Mr. Gallagher will take up the study of electricity when he graduates from high school. If he does, we feel sure that he will make a real success of it. Here's hoping, Chas.

THOMAS FRANCIS GRIMES (Tomm y) Glen Carbon, Schuylkill County, I'a.

WILLIA M CLAR E HAMBROSE (Ham111y) Camden, N. Hobby, Geometry, Crossing the Ferry.

No Hobbies.

Before entering La Salle in 1915-1916. Thomas was a bright and brilliant student in a region far from his present surroundings. However, the lure of the city brought him here and La Salle has added one more notable name to her illustrious alumnus. There was no form of school or class activities in which Tommy was not a willing worker. The most brilliant thing he ever achieved was, when he convinced the professor of Physics that he knew the subj ect.

"Hammy" was born in an isolated part of the-well, the United States, in a section known as Camden. After a brilliant career in St. Mary's School. in his native bailiwick. " Hammy" hied himself to La Salle, and ever since he entered he has proven himself to be one decent chap. Though not very active in athletics, he does his little bit in his own quiet way to help things along.

Aside from selling druggists' materials, Tommy's diversion runs to various forms of--well, we won't give you away, but you know, Tommy, things are not going well at the annex. Now Tommy intends to run a chain of drug stores just as soon as he gets agoing. \Ve feel that he will succeed. Here's hoping, Tommy.

It is th e intention of "Hammy" either to enter business or take up the study of E lectric Engineering, and if he does. well, you will hear of him in the years that are to come. If he is as faithful to hi s chosen career as he has been to his work in La Salle, we can predict for him a successfu l career. 29

HARRY JOHN HAYDT (A rry) Tioga, Pa. Hobby, Ringing the Hour Bell.

JAMES ALPHONSUS LEHMAN (Dutch) Manayunk, Pa. Hobby, Football, Basketball.

Harry was born in South Philadelphia, but when old enough to know better, he migrated northward and thenhe decided, after he had finished at St. Stephen's School, to come to La Salle.

Yes, there is such a place as Manayunk, and if you don't believe it, just listen to this plain unvarnished tale of one of its leading citizens. After a brilliant course of study in his native village, James entered La Salle and kept up his brilliant course, showing particular aptitude in Mathematics and Science. James has been very active in athletics, and showed his mettle in more than one scrimmage. We have been told that it is the intention of James to enter the medical profession, a profession in which his father and uncle shine with resplendant lustre. If James does as well in his chosen career as he has done in his studies, we are sure that he will keep up the traditions of hi s brilliant family . Well, here's hoping, James .

Harry has been very faithful to hi s work, especially in Chemistry, because, well, Brother Lucian and himself seem to get along so nicely, yes, so nicely. We have it from a very reliable source that Harry intends to study law. If he does, we are sure that Philadelphia will be fortunate in having another brilliant member of the legal profession. Harry is honest, dependable and with such good qualities, we are sure he wi ll win success. .)I)

JOHN EDWARD McGOVERN {TmÂˇy) Chester, Pa. Hobby, Commuting, Football.

J AMES PATRICK McGURK {Jim) Hobby, Dancing, Singing. Philadelphia, Pa.

All hail to "Terry," the Chesterite. Though a resident of Chester, "Terry" pursued his early academic training in the famous school conducted by the Sisters of Notre Dame, commonly known as the Notre Dame Academy. He entered the Commercial Department of La Salle just four years ago, graduating with high honors. He entered the Third High after, and he has since been on the high road of success. "Terry" is loyal to his Alma Mater and is always on the job whenever the interests of the school are concerned. As assistant manager of the baseball team, as a good rooter for La Salle, "Terry" is 100% pure. It is his intention to enter the Wharton School of Finance, and, well, Wall Street had better look out. We feel that "Terry" will make the fur fly-whatever that means.

James, by the way, is the main cog in the Grimes-Edelman combination, and that is, to say the least, some position. After finishing in a truly worthy fashion all that the school of the Most Precious Blood could teach, James came to La Salle, and four years later we find him on the paths that lead to glory. Though not active in athletics, still "Jim" helps everything along in his own quiet way. He was the choice of the students of the class of 1919-1920 for president, and he did himself proud on every occasion when he presided. V/ e have not heard as yet what career he will follow. but we are sure he will make good, no matter what he takes in hand.

JAMES TO\V:.JSE ND ROBERTS (Ji m111 y) P hiladelphia, Pa. IIobby. Cartooning.

FRANK ANTHONY STROHLEIN. (Strank) Riverton,_N. J. Hobby, Walking, and other things.

James hails from South P hiladelphia , where the name is one to conjure with, being one of th e first families in that region. \\'hen quite a small young chap, "Jimmy" toddled all the way up from South Phi ladelphia after he had passed through all the grades of the Sacred Heart Schoo l. To be preci~e. ] ames entered our preparatory department, and, after finishing the E ighth Grade, entered th e First Year High, and has with great eclat passed his years in the high school with great success . \ \ 'hile not very active in athletics, "Jimmy" has always given his time and his talents to help the good work along. By the way, ., Jimmy" is somewhat of a n artist, and in other places of this book you will find some of his work. \ Ve don't know what the future has in store for James, but we do know he will make good.

Frank was born in ew J ersey, but a fter a quiet, unconscious life, he realized that, while the place was suitable in which to die, quietly and peaceably, he must get to a place where he would be obliged to sit up and take notice. Hence, he came to La Salle in the fall of 19 17, and here he has been with us ever since. Frank is a likable young man, quiet, and at times rather- well, anyhow, Frank is th ere when there is question of starting things. We have not been told in what future line Frank will embark, but he has our best wishes for success.

JAMES THOMAS SULLIVAN (Jim) Hobby, Football, Basketball, High Jumping. Philadelphia, Pa.

J O SEPH LEO TAGUE (Joe) Glenside, Pa. Hobby, Baseball, Basketball.

Mr. Sullivan came to us from St. Stephen's School, which has furnished some very good and reliable students to La Salle. After a brilliant career in his grammar school course, he came to La Salle, and for the past four years he proved himself a very manly, earnest young man. Always a thorough student and a clean player in athletics, he easily made good in every class. We have not heard what particular line of work or chosen profession Mr. Sullivan will elect, but of this we do know: that he will succeed in what he does undertake. Well, "Jim," go to it, we are all with you.

This young man is Joseph Leo Tague, the President of the Class of "1921 ," and when we say that, we say a great deal. "Joe" is a general favorite in the school because of his quiet, manly ways and his love of study and athletics. "Joe" made the Junior Basketball team of 1919-1920, and this year he was elected manager. And the best part of it is, that he is doing well all along the line. We have not heard as yet what the future has in store for "Joe," but knowing his excellent qualities, we feel sure that he will grace and dignify any profession that he adopts. Well, " Joe," you certainly have our best wishes for your success. 33

WILLIAM J O SE PH WALSH (Pttck) Philadelphia, Pa. Hobby, A Little of Everything.

VINCENT RICHARD WHITE (Benny) Philadelphia, Pa. Hobby, Basketball, Baseball.

A fter going through St. Anne's School, "Puck" went to the Roman Catholic H igh School, where he spent two years, entering our Third H igh just two years ago. Though not very active in athletics, "Puck" managed to enter heartily into all our class activities, with the result that he was very much on the job, at times. J udging from the interest that he takes in Physics and Chemistry, we would not be surprised to see him enter the medical profession. If he does, we are sure we will see him with a string of letters behind his name. Well, here's the best of luck, "Puck."

Vincent first saw the light of day in the Cathedral parish, and after finishing the grammar grades in the Cathedral School, came to La Salle in September of 1917 and has been with us ever since. Vincent has been a strong rooter for La Salle, especially in basketball and in baseball, where he figured very brilliantly. 'vVe have been told that the study of Chemistry is appealing to Vincent, so we would not be surprised if we were to find him, when he finishes, to go in for the study of Pharmacy. Go to it, Vince, we hope that you will make good.

JOSEPH FRANCIS WHITE (Joe) Philadelphia, Pa. Hobby, Basketbaii, Baseball. Joe came to us from the Cathedral School, that has a great reputation for turning out boys of the right material. He entered our Commercial Department some six years ago, but after a season or two in the business world, he returned to study for one of the professions. Joe has been prominent in basketball, as weii as in baseball. His hobby is chemistry and music. It is said that he intends to take up the study of Dentistry. \Neil, there is one thing certain, he is going in for something that requires a "pull." We are sure that Joe wiii come to success in the future. Here is our best wishes.

THE

PROPHECY a little stretch of the imagination to peer into I Ttherequires future and tell just what is going to happen in the

after all, what is a year or two between friends. To resume, in this year of 1941, strange things had happened in Philadelphia. Some twenty years before that, I had recalled finishing up my final examinations and after a few remarks from the class, told them I would see them at the commencement, and then after a few weeks affected my hegira for parts unknown. And now after twenty years I had returned. My, what changes! you would scarcely believe

year 1941; but leave it to me, and I'll tell you what could happen or what eventually might happen in the aforesaid years. So, dear reader, bear with me awhile, and I will a plain unvarnished tale deliver. As I was saying, it was in the year 1941, or perhaps it was the year 1942, I am not going to be particular, and 36

it, but there were some changes indeed. However, I cannot speak of these things now, but must hurry on with my narrative. I had been in South America for over fifteen years and so could not keep in touch with the boys; hence, I determined to round them up, so to speak, and how well I did, will follow. After visiting a few friends, I was walking leisurely up North Broad Street, in the vicinity of Girard Avenue, when I noticed an immense lighted structure with a big sign, "The Hotel McGurk." The name was familiar, yet I could not recall for the moment what the name might mean. However, I entered the lobby and called the clerk. "By the way," I ventured to say, "how long has this hotel been erected?" He smiled and said: "Oh, about ten years, why?" '"Oh, nothing," I replied , "but the name was familiar, and I thought that, well-." "Well, what," he said, and before he could say further, I heard a loud burst of laughter from the main dining room. "What's doing?" and I pointed to the room where I had heard the laughter. "Oh, that's the Boss, this is the twentieth anniversary of his graduating from Old Salle, and he gathered the class here for a family reunion." He continued: "Would you like to take a look in?" "sure, lead me to it." He signaled one of the waiters and had me brought to the door. I timidly opened it, and as I did, I heard: "Well, in the name of-Here's Lep !" and immediately five and twenty arose from their seats and gave a yell. Seated at the head was Mr. Joseph Tague, now head of the Tague Construction Company; on either side were Joseph Collins and M.r. Joseph Brennan, who had constructed the building; while in a group at the end of the table were the inevitable three --the "McGurk-Edelman-Grimes" combination. About the middle of the table I saw three grave men with decided professional looks, engaged in an animated

conversation. One glance and I recognized Pete, no, Doctor Peter Callahan, Doctor Braceland, and the famous Doctor and Dental Surgeon, Doctor White. Now, what do you think of that? I went down the line and shook hands with, well, I will roll them off as I shook hands with each. Jim Callahan, who had control of the motor truck line running between Philadelphia and Washington; Alphonse Deehan, who was now at the head of the Greater Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company; Leonard Ferry, the famous State Chemist, whose wonderful discoveries in making and improving the new gasoline had completely revolutionized the industry; Tommy Grimes, who had a chain of drug stores throughout the middle states; Edelman, who was his chief manager; Charles Gallagher, of the General Electric Company of the city; and William Hambrose, Mayor of Camden, N. J. vVell, I said to myself, will it never end? I continued. Here one man arose from hi s seat and said quietly: "Don't you know me, Lep? Remember, I used to ring the bell." "Not Harry Haydt?" I replied. "Yes," he chirped out, "I'm th e same chap." Then he reached into his pocket and drew out a card. I read , "Harry Haydt, Pennsylvania, railroad suryevor and contractor." Then a bass voice came from the other side of the table. ''Come over here, Lep, and look us over." I went to the other side of the table and there found the famou s surgeon, Doctor James Lehman, whose name was now well known throughout the country. Seated along side of him, with a beard of formal cut, was the Honorable John E. McGovern, Governor of the State, and still a resident of Chester, Pa. But who was this smiling young man, with a pencil and a menu card, busily sketching the scene. I turned to Frank Strohlein, who, with Bill Carlin, was going over some plans for a new bridge to be built between Riverton and Philadelphia. "vVho is our friend ?" Bill Carlin looked up and smi led: "Why, that's 37

Jimmy Roberts, why his cartoons are the biggest things that have appeared for the past ten years; he's connected with the P hiladelphia Record; you should know the owner, don't you recall Jim Sullivan, yes, he's the same. There he is over talking to Puck Walsh. You know Puck is the city editor. Juts then the orchestra struck up and I saw a big man with a shock of black hair raise his baton. The figure was fami li ar. "Who is that ? " Why, don't you remember Cella? This is the famo us hotel orchestra." After a few words of introduction by the T oastmaster, Joseph Tague. we sat down . We had scarcely seated ourselves when the door wa:s suddenly opened and a great big vigorous man

with a smile hurried into the room. "Late as usual," some one remarked. "Could that be Jimmy Car," I said aloud. "Jimmy Carr, no, not Jimmy Carr, but His Honor, the Mayor, accompanied by his private secretary, Vince White." Towards the end of the banquet we received a telegram , "Would like to be with you, but busy here. George Crandall, Racine, Wisconsin." And then I woke up. It was a dream I had. Some one is always taking the joy out of life. And yet I wonder if the future would reveal anything approaching this dream. Well, if we cannot reach the goal here pointed out, let us be resolved to get as near as we can to it. This is the earnest wish of -Francis Barrett, " 2r."

asked hirn if there was anything he wanted. He opened those blarred eyes and said, "Yes, send for mother." A little while passed, the door opened, and a woman bent with age, wrapped in an old gray shawl , and upon her head an old sunbonnet, tottered to the bed-side of her dying boy. She bent over him and he whispered the sweetest name in the E ngli sh language. "Mother," said he, as he spied the old sunbonnet; "Mother," he repeated, "where in the h - did you get that hat ?" -W1n. P. Carlin, '2I .

UST stepped from the house this morning when a mesI ]senger boy handed me a telegram. It stated that my old friend Jack Long was sick in the Howard Hospital. I went at once to that institution and after climbing a long pair of stairs, I was met by the old superintendent. I asked him if I could see my old friend Jack. At first he refused, but finally consented and led the way. We passed through a long corridor and finally turned and entered a ward. There we passed bed-side after bed-side of men whose faces were drawn with pain. We stopped and I stood beside my old friend. I would have never known it was Jack if it were not for his name. There he lay suffering with - - -I remembered Jack when he wouldn't take a drink, but he got out with the boys and wasn't long in his class. \\'hen he called for his drink, it was , and he called too often. He was delirious now and the nurse bent over him and

A MID-EVENING FROLIC FEW boys from the Junior Class were gathered in Gay Lussac's room. Football and other sports, girls and more girls were also discussed. Bill Cavendish, whose glorious red hair made him very prominent, was so excited, to think that a full holiday was to be used for elates. "\iVhat's doing tomorrow, no school, holiday ? What's what? Anybody got any suggestion s?"

As suggestions were not to be had, silence reigned; only the gentle puffing of pipes was heard. ''Oh, I've got it, let's--" interrupted John Dalton. "Heads out, big fight," was heard throughout the dormitories. vVe scrambled to the windows and threw them up. "What's up?" little Bob Boyle called. ''Two doms. are having a free-for-all," cried the unknown

agam rested, we looked ourselves over and were indeed a sorry bunch. Joe Priestly had a nice black eye, and poor Cavendish looked more like a darky, his strawberry-blonde hair was now black from a recent application of shoe polish. Antione Lavoiser, who was a very thin type of manhood. looked quite thinner minus half his clothes. Lussac said he would get a barrel for Lavoiser to run to his room in. John Dalton's jaw much smashed , needed a new jaw and a few false teeth. "Now, fellows," spoke Cavendish, 'Âˇnow that it is all over. I suggest that we spend our holiday in bed, recuperating. We also firmly resolve, for experience is the greatest of teachers, to leave all Iri shmen alone for our own good. Good night, gentlemen !" Limping and groaning, we departed, much the worse for our painful but happy well-spent evening. -James J. Callahan, ' 21.

"Gosh! let's go down and get in it. Which ones be they?" John Dalton asked, who was . somewhat of a farmer. The two doms., Reilly and Sullivan, were at one another. "0, boy!" yelled Joe Priestly, greatly excited, who always wanted to see a real Irish free-for-all. ' Hatless and coatless, we rushed from the room to the scene of action. Everything was in an uproar. Familiar voices came to us calling as only Irishmen can call: "0, wash hi s face!" "Swat him hard!" "Get off me!" "Take your shoe off my face!" "Who hit me?" "I've got him, put him on the bed and jump on him." Vve decided that the bunch from Reilley's gang needed our support and so we pitched in. It was a sorry experiment for us, as we were of no assistance to these young Irishmen. The lights were thrown off and the fighting continued. Cavendish made a pass at my jaw, only too late to discover who I was. Bed clothes were torn from the beds, rugs pulled up, shoes in the air were as thick as flies, chairs broken, and books thrown out of the windows. The fighting ended rather abruptly with the arrival of the clean and several professors, who, after lecturing us, departed well satisfied that they had broken up a perfectly good party. Our return to Lussac's room was made quite slowly, very different from our departure. However, when we were

IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT NIGHT! Our best authorities, the standard dictionaries. tell us that night is the period from sunset to sunrise. and that period is a period of darkness. Darkness! There's the point. That's the time when the rich play, the poor forget their poverty. and those sleekeyed fellows ply their crooked game. Here on a crooked, narrow alley, not even a street. is the den of a gang of crooks-as crooked almost as the street they inhabit. That's Hogan's Alley-New York city, in lower Manhattan. In this stifling atmosphere of warmth and filth, there stands Freel "Kid" Wolfe, lounging against a wall in the shadow of an overhead-wire pole-indeed quite as dark as his own career in the underworld. The Kid is all of what 43

Once inside, they, as any other crook, found things quite easy. After flashing the searchlight around they found the safe. and of course began to look it over-in many ways. Harris made a cavity near the lock and the Kid poured the " soup" in there. All was ready-when-a door slammed and voices soon became apparent. "Get the tools and hide!" shouted Wolfe in a sharp whisper. The pair did and picked a cloak closet to hide in. They had just about made themselves conspicÂˇu ous-by their absence-when into the room came Miss Jane Carney, the youngest child of Mr. James M. Carney-multi-millionaire. "Look at the queen," whispered Harris. The Kid climbed over his buddy and looked. "Sweet mackerel, Cos, she's the bird that nursed me when I was wounded on the other side-in 1918. Gosh! I wished for many a clay I could see her in America. l'm going to talk to her to-night." Âˇ "Come out of it, Kid," said Ben. "If you go out there you may as well go kiss a detective." Nothing more was said . Miss Carney settled down in an easy chair and the Kid sank down in a corner. All was quiet. But all was not well. Five-ten-and fifteen minutes slid around and still tranquility ruled. But then, with a bang the Kid sprang on his buddy and marched him out of the closet. The terrified girl jumped up, but \Volfe assured her there was no danger. "I am a detective and I came here to get the goods on this fellow. When you came in, he hid in the closet. I was in there. So when he got in the proper position I sprung on him," explained the Kid. "Shall I call the police ?" queried the girl.

his name implies. He's young and spry, strong and erect. A hardened, tan skin covers his unusually high cheek bones. A cap, ca relessly pulled to one side of his head, and a suit, indeed not in the best of condition , gives him the makeup of a crook and a rough one at that. Bang ! A door slams and another man of much the same type as the Kid appears. T hi s is hi s " pard" and he looks to be a close match for his " buddy"-the Kid. The pair start away through the winding alleys of the Bowery, presumably for a "trip" uptown. After they had gotten over to the elevated railroad and made their start north, the Kid 's partner broke the silence in a low voice. ''Say, Kid, who we gonna visit tub night?" asked the Kid's "pard"-Benjamin "Hard " Harris. "Plenty o' jack in the game to-night, Ben. We' re going to tap the safe at the Carney Mansion, on the Avenue," retorted the K id, a thorn in the side of the police. There was hardly a word spoken until the elevated train had reached Seventy-first Street station, and then Wolfe spoke in a businesslike manner, thus: "Come on, Ben. Cut the sleddin' and get down to work." Harris merely replied by evacuating his seat and leaving the car. He was not a man of word s, but business was business to him in any fo rm . The two strode through Central Park at a lively pace, one wh ich would easi ly suggest their errand. Out they came from the Park and up Fifth Avenue to Seventy-third Street. It was then the Kid gave out hi s brief directions. "There's the plum-Pard . L et's get to work." They went around to the back and got over the wall . Just how they got over that wall only a crook could tell you. They just seemed to ma rch right over the wall and then walk right into the house.

"No, ma'am, that's not necessary. I can handle him," he assured her. "May I be of any service to you at all?" volunteered Miss Carney. "No-of no particular-but say, I think I know you. Is your name not Miss Jane Carney?" replied Wolfe. "Yes, it is, Mr. - - . What is your name, sir?" was the retort. "Me? Oh, I'm Frank O'Toole, United States Secret Service. I think you know me from the clay I cooked doughnuts for the boys in France-that time in St. Mihiel when you burned your hand," stated the now Mr. Wolfe. "That's right! I'm glad to see you-buddy, as they called us all over there," greeted Miss Carney. " and the same stands for me, Miss Carney," was the prompt answer. "Mr. O'Toole, would you take some bonds down to Morgan and Company for me?" asked the young lady. "Why certainly, if you so intrust me," replied the Kid. "Anyone can trust a doughboy-and a buddy!" encouraged his friend . She disappeared and reappeared almost as quickly. An envelope was handed to him. "There's $425,000 in bonds there. I'll reward you if you deliver them promptly-after you have locked that man up," assured the girl. "I'll see that that's tended to , Miss Carney. Goodbye !" exclaimed the Kid as he left. "Goodbye Buddy!" she called to him. The pair disappeared-arm in arm-and not aimed exactly for a jail. They disappeared as they appearedin mystery. \IVhether the bonds were delivered.

Football- 1920

HE football season opened at La Salle Prep. September the ninth with a meeting of the officers of the Athletic Association and representatives from the four High School and the two Commercial classes. The first business before the meeting was to select a coach for the team. The man chosen for this position was Mr. Lubin (Lou) Little, the All-American tackle on Penn for three years. Everything pointed to a successful season for the Blue and Gold on the gridiron. The right sort of spirit was there in abundance and the men from whom the team was to be picked was of the best in the city.

However, there is many a slip betwixt the cup and the lip. The first difficulty was the lack of equipment. This was overcome by Bro. James, the Faculty D irector of Athletics, in coming to the rescue and supplying the necessary requisites. The next difficulty was the Jack of a suitable field to practice on; not only a field for practice but a suitable place in which the members of the squad might leave their equipment over-night. Instead of this, the squad had to journey out to Waterview carrying their equipment with them; then taking their stuff hotne, down to school, up to Waterview, and so on. This continued for some weeks; then, owing to some f oolish regulation, we were

forbidden to practice at this place any more. Then Coach Little secured permission from West Philadelphia High School to practice on their field at Kirkbrides. During this period of setbacks we played Chester High School and were defeated by the score of 6 to 0. It was penalties that beat ns in this game. La Salle was penalized 95 yards, while Chester was set back only 15 yards. The next game was with Haverford, and by this time the coach had a better idea of his material and we scored at the middle of the second period, but Haverford came back and with a varied attack of passes and trick plays tied the score in the last few minutes of the game. Score, 7-7. The weak points of the schedule made their appearance at this time. First, there was no game to prepare us for our first league tilt with West Catholic. Nevertheless, we battled against a team well schooled in the use of forward pass and held them to a 0-0 tie. Perhaps it was an error of judgment in the last quarter that cost us this game. The hard game of the season, that of St. Joseph's, should have had some preparation with some lighter team. Possibly this game would have been going yet; but all things must end, so another 0-0 game was chalked up on the books for La Salle. Now comes the hardest part of all, the Catholic High

game. La Salle came out on the short end of a 6-0 score. Catholic High's touchdown was made in the first three or four minutes of play. "Lady Luck" was against La Salle during this game, for the half ended with La Salle having the ball on Catholic High's one-yard line where it could have been pushed over by any member of the team with a little more time. Thanksgiving morning dawned clear and cold and La Salle was scheduled to meet Villanova on Cahill Field. La Salle was not considered a favorite inasmuch as our team had tied West Cat-holic and St. Joseph's and had suffered defeat from Catholic High by a very small score. The supporters of Villanova were predicting a victory by a large score. In this they were sadly disappointed, for La Salle played the best game of the season and easily defeated them. The final score was 12-0. This game was the swan song of the La Salle team for 1920. All taken into consideration, it was a fairly successful season for the Blue and Gold. We had proven that, given time and a fairly decent place to practice on, we could accomplish wonders. This statement is no idle one, for we had battled to a tie St. Joseph's, the champs, and West Catholic. A much better use of the funds of the Alumni would be for grounds and a clubhouse.

to lengthen itself at the start of the season, and, well, things didn't go right; it happens in the best of families; there were little breaks here and there-mostly here-and sometimes there-and though the spirit was willing, "the flesh was weak," and so the season came and went. But a team may be down for a season, still it is not necessarily out, and so we say, "Wait 'till next year." The spirit of old La Salle is still on the wing, and she is never content until she rests where she is accustomed to sit-among the first.

our best colleges and universities will, so to speak, bear out our statement. Names like Eddie McNichol, "Tim" Donovan, "Dan" McNichol, "Si" Simeninger, and a host of others, all are witnesses to the popularity of the game at Alma Mater. However, the best of teams have their "off-season," and we regret to state that the past season was to be the year in which the inevitable should happen. A chain of circumstances-over which no one seemed to have control-began

-Joseph Tague, 57

'21 .

Baseball-1921 LL the glory does not only come in victory. Any team of real, true athletes-red-blooded men-who, even in defeat, play the game for 1ts sake, and play it fair, share the glory of the victor. This is not said because we have any victories to celebrate or defeats to acknowledge-but it is said because we or any of our opponents cannot gaze into the future. We cannot speak of our past performances, although they are honorable indeed. We cannot tell you of what shall happen during the forthcoming season, but we can say, with justice, that whatever mark we do achieve we shall do so with due respect for our honorable past. The time-treasured traditions of an institution is its baseball squads. The prospect this season is above the average. We have back this year six veterans of the 1920 team. Included among them are: Vince White, A ll- Catholic outfielder; Higgins, a remarkable "son of swat"; Gallagher, guardian of the " hot" corner ; Joe White, last year's center-

fielder; Joe Tague, a catcher who is worthy to sport his school's colors ; and R eckner, a pitcher who shall be heard , from later. Much new and promising material will be in evidence this spring, and in some cases the veterans will have to step to hold their jobs. The schedule of the Catholic League consists of eight games. When the smoke clears away, you'll find old La Salle near the top of the heap. Ample outside games will give the Blue and Gold warriors a chance to prepare for these more important and traditional games. We've got the spirit and we've got the material-so if old Dame Fortune gives us just a little luck, watch out for La Salle. Then, with these p roblems solved, we will be able to tell you with certainty the future, and here it is : "We won this title by sportsmanship-we'll defend it by sportsmanship-and when we do lose it we'll lose it by sportsmanship."

THE JUNIOR CLASS

JUNIOR CLASS NOTES OME classes are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them. In the order to which the various forms of greatness have thus appeared, we believe we are among those who have achieved greatness. We have been told that there is a certain noble tradition behind every junior class from time immemorial. If real, earnest study and co-operation with school life means anything, we are of the opinion that we have tried to keep up to the mark. And now for a brief and concise account, dealing with the hi story of our class for a few years back. Three years ago, we began as ardent young freshmen, with all the dreams and hopes that attend such endeavors. In that year, apart from the various class activities, we managed to organize, equip and maintain a basketball team that had not a few victories to its credit. Then, in our second year, we were fortunate to have the Reverend Brother G. Edward for our teacher, and then we began to sit up and take notice. O ur outing to Laurel Springs this year was an item in our experience that we will always remember. During this year we also secured our class rings, and incidentally, we might say, that this year we captured the prize which was offered to the class selling the most tickets for the annual ball of the Athletic Association. Again, another honor came to us this year, when one of our class won the prize for elocution. In basketball we managed to have some representatives on the various teams and we shone with some degree of brilliancy. When school opened for the year 1920, we missed a few familiar faces, but we met oth ers who made up for the few missed, and, best of all, we had for our teacher the Reverend Brother G. Edward, and that was a great deal towards making our school life happy. During the yea r of 1920-1921 the Junior class contributed

its share to football and basketball varsity teams. Joe Lenahan, Andre Carvi lle and J oe R eckner, with Joe Gindhart, Joe Freney and Smith, upheld the honors of the class in many of the school contests. Immediately after the gridiron season ended, all eyes turned towards basketball and our class was well represented on the first team, with Bowen and Schaebler paired at fo rwards; Nowack, centre; Gindhart, gua rd ; while McCarthy, Trainer, Kueny, Straub and Ciccone performed on the second team. How is this for a close-up ? Here's the whole crowd. Trainer is a wise guy, McCarthy is a shrimp; Bedis shoots the bull, I know, But Dever is an imp. McPhillips is a model, Gindha rt is a vamp, And Kueny is a chauffeur, But Bernert is a scamp. Yes, Boyle is very handsome, And Carville, he's a runt. Smith, why, he's a tricky boy, And Nowack's ever on the hunt. And Straub is some heart-breaker, But Hill is oft' asleep, A nd Reckner, he's a farmer, Yes, Condran's got the feet. Schaebler is some athlete, A nd Freney is a charmer, Joe Lenahan's quite fleet. Ciccone's name I'll mention 11ere, I think he's very sweet. But if a b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-bum you want to see, Joe Bowen you should meet.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY o

N September 8, 1919, the good ship " Cla ss of Twentythree," flying the colors of L. S. C., set out for a four-year course under the guidance of Reverend Brother Maurice. The ship weathered the sea of study for the first year. The fittest of the origi nal cr ew of forty-five survived, ancl in September 1920, I boarded this noble craft after having been shipwrecked and cast adrift from a neighboring college; and since then I have shared the somewhat stormy history of this gallant sea bird. \Ve elected our officers: Mr. James D. Rufe, President; Mr. John L. Furey, Vice-President; Mr. John Mogasin, Secretary; and Mr. John V. T aggart, Treasurer. We then sailed out of the vacation harbor into the vast sea of work with Brother Maurice, our able skipper, at the helm. T he first time we lost sight of land we realized the great fight we must wage again st the elements of Geometry

.and Spanish. These two new hurricanes we weathered with great difficulty and danger. Then we defeated the sea monsters, the Quarterly Examinations. Now and then, when on Recreation Island, many of our members brought glory to our colors by their feats on the Varsity and 2nd Basketball and Football teams. Our class team came through without defeat. Now comes the sad pages of our log book. Here we lost our much beloved iikipper, Brother Maurice, who was seized by an attack of illness. Fortunately, Brother Richard, the President of the College, came to our aiel and proved a very able pilot, as capable as our former one. But more pressing and ardent labors claimed his attention and he boarded another ship. Then Brother Nicholas, who is well versed in navigation, took our wheel, and we are battling on through the surging waves, to Junior and Senior Years. to Graduation and Safety. -William Long, "23."

FRESHMAN CLASS

IE class of 1924 assembled on th e 13th clay of September, with the exception of a few boys who came from the parish schools but who were soon enrolled in our gathering. \ Ve were all strangers. At the beginning of our career at La Salle, we were fortunate in having Brother Declan as teacher, who has since proved himself not only a most capable and efficient teacher, but a leader and a valued fri end in all our sports and studies. At our first class meeting, J ohn McCarney delivered an elegant address proposing James Carville for President. He accepted, but later resigned, and Clifford Lenahan was chosen President, which office he still holds. John McCarney was elected Vice-President; T heodore Taylor, Secretary; and Cornelius Sheridan, Treasurer. The latter resigned, and Frank Trainer was elected to succeed him.

Under the guidance of our worthy teacher, our class has made continued and satisfactory progress in the various subjects we are studying. Among the o-utstanding features were ~everal debates on various subjects of public interests such as, " Should our government establish compulsory military training ?" "Should immigration be stopped?" and several others in which many members of the class set a high mark in debating ability. Notable among these were 1\,IIcCarney, Nolan, Wogan and Duffy. We had several entertainments, some musical and some introducing other features, all of which have materially strengthened our class spirit. We feel now that the school year is drawing to a close, and that we have left the impression on old La Salle, as being one of the best freshman classes in its history. -Walter B. Duffy, '24.

3 Oh winds of the world that blew us together, Oh winds of the world that blow us apart, Will it ever again be favorable weather, Or must we remain always apart? -T. Grimes and M. Edelman.
