SENIOR CLASS, "1922"

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '22 RI TI :c; the history of the class of '22 is indeed a joyful task. but let me tell you the reason. In the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and eighteen the class of '22 sprang into ex istence. though differing in many respects the members soon entered, into a bond of friendship which death alone will break.- Ever ready to help one another in even the most trivial matters, we embarked upon our four-year journey through H igh School. under the kind guidance of ")3rothers Maurice and Edwa rd we settled down to the important task of study. But study was not the only line in which we hoped to excel. so our eyes were turned to basketball. The F reshman basketball team. composed of Bowen. Land herr. Nowack. MeN ulty and ( ;indhart, completed a season well deserving of honor. .-\s everything has an ending our class year terminated and we set off on our vacation in sea rch of a much-needed rest. Returning to class we found as our teacher Brother Edward. a man whom we both admired and respected. O n looking around we saw faces missing. O ur hearts which were becoming sorrowful were soon brightened when we were informed that our classmates. Day, Ritchi e. Landherr and Manning had entered the Seminary. to study for th e Priesthood. Great things were in sto re for us in our second year. First we received our class rings. and then we won the prize offered to the class selling the most tickets for the La Salle Ball. Ignatius Bernert, one o f our classmates. won the prize for elocution . This year also saw. the first of our annual visits to Laurel Springs. Did we have a good time? Ask any member of the class. but. I mu¡s t pass on to the next year. Imagine our great joy when on returning for our third vear we found Bro. Edward as our teacher. '.11/e knew
W
immediately that our third year would be a great success. Having happiness on eve ry side we settled clown to study. Bro. Edwa rd in his winning way made our studies seem easy. To break the monotony of study. we were given an outing by Mr. Kueny at hi s home at Cornwells. We wish to take thi s means of thanking him for the great interest he took in us. Vincent Feeney entered A mm e nclal~ to study for the Brotherhood. The class of '22 furnished much material for the athletic teams. O n the football tea m, Lenahan, Ca rville, Reckner. Gindhart. Freney and Smith t tph eld our honors. while on the basketball team Bowen. Schaebler, Nowack and Gindhart excelled. On the second basketbtall team were Trainer. Kueny. Straub and Ciccone. For the second success ive year our class sold the most tickets for the La Salle Ball. And then came our second annual visit to Laurel Springs. which turned out to be even a better success than the first . Vacation was again at hand. so we departed. thinking of the year to come. And now comes th e year in which we should be dignified seni ors. Brother Edward was no longer with us in body. but his spirit was still there. Brother John was our first teacher, then Brother Pius and then our regular teacher. Brother George. Our first success of the Senior yea r was our dance. which was given at the BellevueStratford on the evening of November the twenty-third. Ove rcoming all obstacles. the dance was a success both socially and financially. And then came our year book, . which we hope pleases the public. \V atching and waiting for June is the class of '22. What has the fut u re in store for them? In all happiness a_nd trials .let them remember the true friendship formed 111 dear O ld La Salle. -Magnus f . Scha ebler. 18

BROTHER GEORGE. F.S.C. Teqcher of the Senior Class
LEO :\1. BEDIS sPEAKING of the peaks of the Alps. Leo would be a wonderful guide-he lives in Manayunk.
Our friend hailed to us about one year ago after drop-
ping his books to take up arms in the Nation's defense . He entered the Polish army. after securing his ¡ early military training at Ontario, Canada, winning the rank of Sergeant before the cessation of hostilities. Mr. Beclis secured his early education at St. Josephus, Montgomery County. comi ng clown to our rendezvous to put on the finishing touches.
Strange as it
may seem. Leo has never enlightened us as to his future ambitions, but we would not be surprised if he would choose the Seminary for his future education. \\'e cite this because he associates with only th e best. Staff. Gilbert and Charley. for instance. Perhaps our friend would have gone into the spirits business if Mr. Yolsteacl was not born. as he has an inclination to experiment n:aking-but why go further; a word to the wise is sufficient. 22
JGNATIUS F. BERNERT
I G:\TATIUS so ught the new world at a n early age. cross ing the mighty deep when he wa s but an infant.
A fter resting for a few years so as to become
accustomed to our ideas and customs. he entered St. Peter's Parochial School. a
/
school which can boast of more than one illu striou s name on her honor roll. After reaching the highe5t peak of lea rning at this educational terminal he entered La Salle. where hi s record s show him to be very studi ous and very pensive except when his turn comes to speak on ''that which the learned may recite." Like many more, "Nig" tak es but little interest in Mathemati cs. but he was overheard to remark why worry about what not concerns us. Hi s whole ambition is to receive the wonderful training thi s educational rendezvous has to offer, and then have hi s Dad's Jetter head s changed to ¡'and Son."' \\'hy, with hi s appeara nce he wou ld sell Gold Bricks on any Blue :\Ionday morning. ~

THE
Lord picked All Saints clay to put Charle3 on thi s earth. And we think He knew what He was doing. This young gentleman may have been an angel when he was young. but how times do change. Char!es hails from \Vest Phila. and is famous for his dubbing that burg God's Country. There is not a single mishap going on, that cannot be traced to about half of his mischievousness. But with all, he is all right. Ask Mary . she knows! Say, by the way, there is a nice remuneration waiting for the one who finds out this young damsel's pedigree. Our Charles has often been seen with her, but outside of that " \Vhoi she." Give all credit where it is due, we admire his taste. Our friend rarely misses the Stanley on Monday morning and is always amongst those present in Room 656, City Hall. when there is an important murder trial going on. We know success is his in his chosen vocation, which we believe will be Medicine. Good luck, Chas .. wonders will never cease. 24
ANTHONY CAFIERO
M
ASS was celebrated on February 11, 1900, in honor of the birth of our petite friend, Andy Cafiero. The young man was very small when born, and, strange to say, he is still under standard. But it is said preciou s things come in small packages. 'vVe believe they do, for Andy is the money. Andy received his early education in the Lady of Rosary school. H e afterward entered the Western Union Service, serving with distinction till he an cl the President of the concern had words over the collecting of royalti es on a patent our friend invented. To settle things, our hero resigned. No. he didn't get fi red. He finally became tired of living on the interest of his money and decided to enter La Salle to touch up on a few subjects and then to go in for Electrical Engineer ing, in which he is bound to achieve success, for he already heads the Cobbs Creek Wiring Co.

JAMES F. CONDRAN
J AMES hailed to us from Villanova, having to give up Boarding School on account of home sicknessOur friend was born on the 4th of December, about 19 years ago. A lucky day for the world, because brains are not easily found nowadays. Ask dad, he knows. He is an ideal student, very bright and things are easy for him to pick up, especially books and other attractive articles. He is all right, but we think he will be late for his own fun eraL He is well liked by all his colleagues and is often sought for company, he willing to go anywhere-for instance, the Stanley on Monday morning. James is well versed on all subjects and can be seen in the basement any morning surrounded by a group, telling how the horses ran up at Saratoga last summer, where Jim sojourns during vacation. 'vVe have no idea of his future, but we think he will go in business. Here's luck, Jim; with your brains you can make a-plenty. 2R

was born in South Phila- nuf said-but after a short so journ moved to the New York of Phila., Germantown. Our hero rece ived his initial training at St. Francis Assissi Parochial School. then emigrated to St. Joe's in 1915. spending three years there. During the vacation s of ' 17-, 18, he did his bit for Uncle Sam by working on a farm. After the summer of ' 1R he spen t some time in the commercial world; but entered Germantown J-Iigh to become more advanced in up-to-date methods. The following vacation our fri end was
employed by the Phila. Electric Co. Tom has slipped us some information in regards to hi s futur e. H e intends to study Electricity. with a view to sell "currents." Our investigation committee attributes his proficiency in sports to hi s lo ve of out-door life. Just gaze at his glowing cheeks and twinkling eyes and one can readily see he has led an exciting life. He excels at Ticldle-de-winks and Old Maid. He is also very proficient with th e Pogo-Stick. 29

JOSEPH D. FRENEY
J OE secured his primary. elementary and intermediate studies at La Salle and believes in taking everything for granted. hence this is hi s reaso n fo r taki ng siestas during Trig. and English. Apart f.rom that he is a splendid fellow. Joe has taken il11 active part in Athletics during the past few years. F or thi s reason he is a general favorite in the eyes of his companions and respected by all for his manly, qui et traits. Always on the alert to do eyerything for hi s class and school , he is always the first. or among the first. to start things and see that they ~o through . The ouija board has not told us what the future holds for J oe, but we can make a safe bet saying he will make good.

JOSEPH E . GINDHART
THI S young gentleman has all the earmarks of a natural-born sport writer. Jle can name-almost all of the leading ind ependent teams in the vicinity. Think of it. He has them right on the tip of hi s tongu e. Isn't that an accomplishment? Acco rding to the data in hand this infant prodigy ( he is quite young) fought his first eight rounds at St. Fran cis of Assiss i. This gave him the necessary confidence to carry him through four years at La Sall e with a c:ean late. Joe has played on the Prep. Football team for the last three years. He earned a berth on the relay team two years ago and is an enthusiastic cheerer at all the games in which he does not participate. Bere's to you, Joe, and may the skin of a gooseberry make an umbrella to cove r all your eneniies. 3.2

GEORGE lULL
PETER'S became the heirs to another marvel of intelligence when George was born, about 17 years ago, on the 23rd of December. Dear readers, I guess you may remember that there was a large celebration about this time around 5th and Girard. \\"hy, yes; that's what it was all about. After our friend secured his early education at St. Peter's. he wended his way to Broad and Stiles. Happy clay for us, for George's name has done much
to give La Salle the prestige it now holds. 'vVe understand when George graduates he intends to enter business. We know he will make a success; that is, if he doesn't have to arrive at his office too early: our friend loves his bed more than anything else. Let him have his rest and take his time, and he will sure make things hum, after getting things going, but it takes so gosh darn long for him to get going. Good luck, George, m your chosen vocation; we know success is bound to wait on you. 33
SEBASTIAN P. KUENY was the twenty-third of September, nineteen hundred and two. that the Sun I T became jealous on di scovering a rival on the horizon of that auspicious morn. This cannot be explained but in one way. Seby's birthplace being traced to God's country, familiarly known as \Vest Philadelphia. This young gentleman is everything that any lady could wish for; from his patent leather hair to his "educator shoes"; yes, girls. he wears woollen socks and college color ties, drives a car; but why continue any further with Wally Reid's rival; he has a girl, and she is some damsel from our critic report; so all ye female readers. thi s automatically eliminates you. O ur Seb is true to "Kas." A report on the matter shows our fri end to have attained his minor education at Our Lady of Mercy, where hi s voice would be discriminated from others in the choir- no. Seb, not because it was screechy. Things began to grow monotonous at Broad and Susquehanna and he emigrated to dear old La Salle. which he never regretted. Seby is not the dumbest in th e world and would rank among the leaders if the fac ulty would eliminate "Trig." from the roster. .14
JOSEPH J. LENAHAN
p ITY poor Joe. His strained expression; that look of impending disaster, that meek. submissive appearance, is explained by the fact that he is very much taken up with household concerns. For all, Joe is a true son of this City of Brotherly Love. He and his parents before him were born here. He was fortunate enough in his younger days to receive a grammar school education from the Christian Brothers at St. Stephen's. When he was a very little boy he acquired the habit of adopting the motto, "Anything worth doing is worth doing well." Joe has been successful in everything he has taken up here at school and he has come in for his share of hard knocks, aside from his studies he has a very good position. YVell, here's to you. Joe. May continued good luck attend your future . 35

JAMES W. McPHILLIPS
D
URlNG the rush for gold back in '49. James' ancestors emigrated to California. so when all the glittering dirt was picked up the family started East, but stopped at Little Rock. Arkansas. After a few years' so journ here, James, Jr .. was born to the world of possibilities. Hence it may be said that Jim has traveled extensively. Soon after arriving here. he entered the Cathedral school to get some of the wildness he brought from the west out of him; in this we think he was successful. Brothers teach there-'nuf said. After becoming properly acclimated to our conditions, "Mick," as he is known , entered La Salle, where he still remains, entering every afternoon about 1.05. Say. by the way, he can make the distance from \Vatt Street to the college in less time than Man-'o-vVar ever traveled. vVe believe he will enter Philadelphia Dental on his leaving dear old La Salle. but we fai l to see why he should waste time studying when he could make Schaeffer and Hoppe look like Ham and Eggers. 37
BERNARD]. NOWACK
NINETEEN years have passed since Bernard first saw the light and his records show him to have performed creditably to date. Those connected with our friend can verify this. Just show them your reel cards. Bern. Nowe, as he is called. hails from St. Boniface and has been in good company for the past four years (we mean La Salle). He does not say much. but we need not look up from our books when we hear "Shut up, I know it"; we can readily surmise who enunciated. VI/ e know as much as you, clear reader;;, of our . pal's future, but if he performs as well in his duties as he does at Chess he will sure become a genius. Go to it, Nowe; we will lay heavy odds you will not disappoint your press agents.

JOSEPH P. RECKNER
WE
are so rry indeed that we are not allowed sufficient space to dwell at length upon the manifold accompli shments of the son of Pluto ( hi s hair is reel) . but we shall try to do him justice within the limits of this write-up. Any one who has followed the accounts in the papers of the youth on our right have no doubt been quite aston ished at hi s versatility. How much more astonished would they be if they heard thi s athlete of athletes proclaim unblu shingly to the envy of all those present, and more especially for Bro. Pius' benefit, "Ask me. Brother, I know it perfectly." Now we do not want to give the im p r e ~ sio n that Joe limits his activiti e;; to th e class room and gridiron, for this is all wrong. Reck played on the basketball team and performed c r ed itab ~y on the diamond as well. twirling his teammates to many a victory. A mong the fair sex. with kind permission, dear readers, he has no peer , for he said it. 39
MAG:\US
J.
SCHAEBLER
NOW,
we are conce rned with the wise. Magnus is what is known as the teachers' model of perfection. All who are in class about 9.14 on Monday morning can verify our reports on our friend' s brightness. It is grow ing monotonous to hear Brother Richard read hi s marks out first every week, but we mu st give credit where it is due; nobody is more deserving; nor is the class less delighted in seeing their popular favorite on top. "Schaeb." as he is known , is in everything; that is. what is good. He heads the class, and is interested in all its affairs and can show credentials for a few letters a warded for excelling in athletics; but our friend says but little and it is up to us to let you in on his good traits, as he is our president. and much must be attributed to him for the publication of the Comet. He excels in mathematics. and, although he has not written hi s future. we believe he will go in for engineering. Why, who wouldn't? With his brains the Kaiser would have been the President of the United States in Nineteen Twenty-one. Good luck, Schaeb. for no matter where you go you will rank among the leaders. 40
GILBERT D . SMITB " S MITHY.'' or ''Gilbert.'' for by these names th e young gentl eman is generally hailed. is one of the most romantic characters in the class. From his birth he has been quite a factor at important meetings. chief of these being his entrance into this univer ' e. This young gentleman has traveled extensively in the States. making Philadelphia his terminus, so as to complete hi s education at La Salle. At one time "Gilbert" was inclined to enter a military school, but thought he would risk the knocks of the world and decid ed a business education was the best. Although he is not quite a wizard at hi s studi es, when it comes to breaking hearts-Oh! you'd be surprised! No. he doesn't look it. The girls can't he!p falling-his pretty golden locks. ruddy complexion and wonderful smile. "Gilbert" hasn 't enlightened us upon his future, but we feel as if he will make a success at whatever he undertakes. and the least we can wish him is all the success of the world. He has been serving as an apprentice at " \\ .onnie's." where he sojourns every afternoon with some of his colleagues. "Gilbert." ''"hatever you do. keep up your good work or you will disappoint "Jo." and also us . "We implore you," always show the good that is in you. 41

U DOLPH VALENTINO may have looked wonderful dressed as the Sheik, but the community never has had the opportunity to see "Jawn" in his fa wn-colored suit and newest brogues, and, furthermore, our hero doesn't have to become aiJ doiJed up to look the height of perfection. T he principal in our story hails from Diamond St. (no, he isn't Jewish). Afte r laying a foundation at St. E lizabeth's he entered La Salle and is doing the fi ni shing act. Staff. as he is known to his colleagues, has a mania for humming the latest hits of the musical world and can sing the chorus of any song from Silver Threads to the latest jazz, and he is no mean songster either. which is saying a Jot. O ur friend is everything the name suggests. being a popul ar favorite with all. but having a peculiar trait in wanting to argue technicalities.

At an early age our fri end sofourned to Atlantic City till he reached the use of reaso n. then traveled extensively as far as Mexico.

Mel has all the requirements a wi ld young man may possess and more of hi s sha re of wi!clness when he is driving hi s Peerless. The mental department reports this mi sinterpretation of the name of hi s car to Fearless. He ha s heard every constable and judge say $12.:10 so often that he thinks it is a telephone number.

THE PROPHECY after lun ch. I lit a c1gar and took a seat in a secluded co rner. I had no more than sat myself comfortably. than I heard, ''If we ca n put thi s over in time we can put J ohn D. on the rocks." Looking around. I was surpri sed to look upon th e forms of McCarthy a nd Condran. They explain ed som e oil speculating they were doing and expected to clean up a fortun e if th ei r Engineer would show up in time with the necessa r y data. They had just gotten me interested in th eir wild venture ·w hen Mr. Cafiero walked in , who I later learned was their engineer, when Conch·an jumped up. shook hi s hand, a nd exclaimed, "Now we will make old John D. wi sh he had th e money he donated t~ the Anti-Saloon League.'' It was 2 o'clock. so I bid my old classmates adieu so as to prepare for my lecture. A rriving a f ew minutes early. I bumped into Magnu s Schaebler. alias Brother Edward. who was sent by Brother Bernard. director of La Salle Universi-ty. to secure some data on radium so as to be proficient in teaching chemistry. The Director o f La Salle \Yas Bernard ~ owack. "Schaeb" described to me how La Salle was recon structed and designed by Smith. I immediately mad e up my mind to v isit Philly to see its R ennaisance. Having a littl e business in New York. it was necessary to stay for a f ew days. ·w hile walking about the city the n ex t day, I came across Daly. who told me he and Dever were executives of the D eve1· Auto Concern, makers of a car which won rapid success in th e East. The nex t clay I started on my unpl easa nt journey. \Nhil e waiting in the corridor of th e City Hall I was slapped on th e back by Andy Carville, who was representing Straub
ARRl \'ED in New Yo rk and decided to take a stroll about the city to loosen up my j oints, which were stiffened by the long train ride. when at 42ncl and Broadway I saw two machines crash into each other . Quickly administering fi1·st aiel. I gave the Pol iceman orders to have an ambulance sent for immediately. \ \ ' e were shortly at the Hospital, ·where I worked upon my patients, and then retired to my hotel. rather fatigued. The next morning I was surprised to read in large type of the "\\'oriel." ''Mel Straub , the Speed Maniac nearly fatally injured in auto mi shap ." Dropp ing the paper, I immediately rushed to the Bell ev ue Hospital to see my patient. whom 1 could not recognize clue to hi s badly mangled face. I was abo ut to enter when I heard a familiar voice remark on my frie nd' s mi sfo rtune. Turning a round, I gazed on the form of the resident physician, none other than Doctor Stafford. After a hearty ha nd-sha king we went to visit our injured friend. Entering the room. I detected a vo ice. " \ Vel!, you nearl y got it this time. didn't you , old man?" Looking up we saw the speaker to be Joe F reney , the chief ed itor of th e paper that wrote ''Mel" up. \Vhile conversing about old times. Seby Kueny and Jos. ( ;inclhart walked in with faces on th em about a mile long. From their talking, I learned that th ese two gentlemen were executives of the firm of the car in which St raub was driving. and he was now disabled for the races .

The next day I noticed that my shoes were shabby, so I boarded a ca r for town to purchase a new pair. I walked Chestnut St. till I saw in a window display what I liked and on entering t he store was met by George Hill. the proprietor. After having luncheon with him we entered hi s machin e and took a spin about the city. vVe rode into .:'llanayunk. when I remarked on the absence of the petite mountain s. George explained how the firm of Widdoes and Bedis. famous engineers, had remedied this and made the streets safe for the people to traverse upon. .-\ft er leav ing Geo rge, I took a walk about the city, not forgetting to walk across the newly-constructed Delaware Bridge. and then sought a quiet hotel wherein to pass the night. At Broad and \ ¼alnut I entered what looked to be a quiet place and was handed the hotel register in which T in sc ribed

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE SENIORS Q
N this, the first day of June. in the year of our Lord. 1922, we the Seniors of La Salle College. being of sound and easy-going mental faculties. are adhering to the fangs of our conscience by thinking the time has come when we mu st relinquish the associations of our school life. do most solemn ly bequeath to our succes~ors ancl to their heirs forever, the following details of our possessions:To the Juniors. we give and willingly bequ eath our muchcoveted title. Seniors, together with the hon orary positions of dignity such title secures in the scho~astic world. \1\Te, the seniors. also bequeath also to our successors, all the immunities and rights that have been ours during the term. In Christian Doctrine. including Brother Richard's Monday morning remembrance that there is plenty of work for those who have rece ived white duckets. our enlightenment upon certain complicated queries. and especially in reference to courtship, marriage. i.e .. things that only a Senior should know. In Languages, we likewise extend the privileges of frequently quoting the different forms of "etre" and ' ¡h ablar. " May you be as successful in your attempts as your predecesso rs have been. In Mathematics. a vast sea of Trig. \Vatch not the sine. for the cosecant will enable you to compute the tangent if you have the measurements of th e cosine and cotangent. But go not too rapid or you may have to wait a secant. In English. the permission to indulge in a general misapplication of wo rds. In such conflicting times as th ese, great minds so heavily burdened with weighty matters are often tricked into mistakes. In Chemistry many odorous odors we treasured and collected , clelapidated working apparatus. a drawer full of illgotten working faci liti es. and the olcl eyesore which decorates the first working desk and whi ch can be utilized to
violate the 18th Amendment. We assume you will be able to secure enough of N 0 0 gas without our bequest. In History. the vast knowledge that comes after four yea rs of mental travel in historical fields, and above all to discuss intelligently the entire hi story of our government . It will be a great honor that it may be said of you as it was of us. that your modest attitude, in hi storical learning is great proof of your intelligence. Besides th ese educational advantages we are relinquishing. with much satisfaction, a legacy of pleasure for none but the Seniors. The unwritten right to have permission to clo anything you can get away with. To enter at 9.2.1 and recite the old story. about the cars be ing blocked. The right to let Brother Richard 's invitation about going ro work pass thru one ear and out the other. To dispute you r mark s. especially those of the French P rofesso r. To all th e undergraduates. we give and bequeath the g reat interest displayed by our devoted Faculty and the gentle influ ence they have exercised up01'1 our personal lives. .-\ncl now. clear friends. we leave you to take up our impo rtant work. and our only wish is Success, and when you arrive at the parting of the ways as we have clone. you will realize that you have been inheritors of a rare legacy. \\ "e name as our Executor. the Rev. Brother Richard. our best friend. and counse llor. whom we know will carry out intact all the provisions of this testament. Signed. sealed. published and declared by said class of 1922. as their la st will and testament in the presence of me. "¡ho at their r equest and in their presence have hereunto sub scribed by name as attesting to said testament.

CHEMISTRY N
OTHING can be more certain than that the character and rapidity of our national development and improvement in all matters which relate to necessity, commerce, public health and the preservation o f the physical framework of our civilization will be dependent upon th e progress which will be made in Chemistry. In our century science is the soul of the prosperity of all nation s, and upon it depends our progress. These asserti ons can be substantiated by the important part which chemistry played in the W oriel '"' ar. It became clear in the recent war that poisonous gas was to constitute an important munition. Our nation at once called upon for its services a great group of chem ists in order to provide efficient means of defense and to solve problems upon which would depend success. Success ful results were accomplished. There are great lessons to be learned. fo r peace has also brought with it many problems which req uire our utmost attention; problems with which we must battle constantl y; for example. the battle against di sease. \rV hile war has claimed its quota, so also has peace p~ayed havoc with humanity. This has been curtai led by scientists. who have founded means which formerly puzzled and baffled us and left us unprotected against this unforeseen plague-germs. Many say that the bacteriologist and pathologist have accomplished wonders. So they have. but they have now arrived at such a point wherein they must reso rt to Chemistry as a solution for their most important problems. An illustration: their antitoxins, their most powerful weapon in combatting this deadly foe. are chemical substances of specific curative power but of unknown composition and never isolated as yet as pure principles. The study of chemistry opens up to us an immense a nd rich field of promise, a large area. an unlimited source of substances in which are concealed many secrets. the solution of which depends on chemists. "Chemi stry is th e fundamental science of the transformation o f matte r. " Justification can be given to the definition of chemist ry. that it is the transformation of matter: for if we plant seeds in the fertile soil they will at once abso rb sta rch. proteins. fats. which are transformed into rootlets, which in turn inhale mineral matter-lime. sulphates . potash. nitrogen in the form of nitrates. From these simple ingred ients
taken from the soil and air the plant manufactures an indefinite variety of new chemical substances, including carbohydrates. proteins. alkaloids. dyes and innumera ble other substances, the output on which we depend. Its helps to agriculturists are unquestionable; for it is well known that the careful guidance of the chemist in the study of the soil has made it possible to multiply the yield of our ac res at small cost by inten sive cultivation. But this is but a small fraction of what the chemist has clone and will do in rai sing agriculture with the aiel of the expert botani st . for the untold benefit of ma nkind. In the trend of recent years it is of interest to note that we are but returning to the ea rli est phase of Chemistry, for th e name Chemi stry refers to th e Janel Chemi (Egypt ). where it originated in the temples in which the priests experimented with simpl e chemicals f or the preparation of medi cines. Its relations in those ages to medi cine were ve ry close. for in th e sixteenth century Paracelsus stated that "the true purpose of Chemi stry is not to make gold, but to prepare medicines." But in spite o f Paracelsus. Chemi stry drifted from medicin e; first. in the effort to make gold by the conversion of the baser metal s; later , in the much more success ful efforts to c reate ri ches bv the appli cation of chemistry to industrial processes. ¡ \Ve ca n fully appreciate th e advances made in Chemi st ry when we cen te r our views upon the complete triumph brought to mankind by the chemical investigati on in the domain o f dyes. O riginally. dyes were obtained excl usively from natural sources. In 1856. Sir \ Villiam Perkin accidentally prepared the first a niline dye. This di scovery has been the basis for all the subsequent development in the coal tar industry and practically of all organic chemi stry . A lready in the ea rly sixties. pioneer chemists started on the first ultimate analysis of th e dyes-determining in fact the exact way in which the atoms in the smallest particles of each dye are joined togeth er. In general. gt:eater progress can be made more rapidly a nd more ce rtainly by the co-operation of congen-ial men . fot¡ a lesson of war must be a message to us in peace. May the day come when the power o f chemists so effectively utilized during the past war be applied with more successful efforts to th e solution of the necessa ry problems which confront us in eve ry indu stry to-clay.

Football- 1921-22 "W" ITH the beginning of the 1921-22 athletic season. a great revision of Sports was started. Bro. Leonard. the fac ulty athletic director. secured Stenton Field for the football team, thus overcoming an obstacle which seriously hindered our teams in the past. Under the able coaching of Mr. Lubin. ''Lou" Little. the All-American tackle, the football team rapidly rounded into form. In the first game they defeated Woodbury High. the Class B champions of South Jersey. by the score of 3-0. This game was won in the last thirty seconds by a field goal from Capt. Rochford's toe. In the next game Southern High was defeated 15-0. Norristown was the next victim by the score of 14-0. In the Brown Prep. game the La Salle team ran up their highest score. winning 48-0. The La Salle football team then traveled to Atlantic City. During their three-day stay they defeated the High School team 12-0. This score does not show the superiority shown by the La Salle team over their rival. They outplayed them at every point of the game. and had it not been for the sandy condition of the gridiron, they would have run up a larger score. The last game of the schedule was with Wenonah. Th e undefeated and unscored on La Salle team annexed th e game 18-0. Wenonah previously held \Vest Catholic to a tie. and Bryn Athyn to a low score, thus making the La Salle victory one of note. In the practice games Penn Charter, the A cademic champions, and Abington High , claimant of the suburban championship, were defeated. Great credit must be given to this team. which carried the Blue and Gold to so many glorious victories. Undefeated and unscored on during their regular season. they proved themselves to be one of the logical contenders for the "Championship of Philadelphia." Their record outshines any La Salle football team of the past. and La Salle has turned out some wonderful and powerful eleven s. Captain "Dink" Rochford , picked by all the newspapers for their " All-Philadelphia Eleven," was the mainstay of the team. His brilliant work in the backfield was in strumental in scoring nearly all the team's points. The names of the members are engraved in the La Salle "Hall of Fame," never to be erased . The members of the La Salle team were:
Capt. D. Donovan R ochford Raymond Tegan Charles Davis vVilliam Johnston Thomas Daly Joseph Reckner Nevin V\faters Randall Dawson John Carr .1 oseph Gregorski Ignatius McCormi ck

LA S ALLE \ 'S. LA GRANGE After completing th eir successful season the La Salle team scheduled a post-season game with the La Grange High School of Chi cago. Littl e was known of the strength of the La Grange team. oth er than it had been defeated only once, and then by the champions of Chicago. The La Grange team arrived with a wonderful shift call ed the O sborne shift. A team th at could stop this shift was truly wonderful. La Salle held them to four first downs. Th e game wa s pl ayed on the gridi ron at the Ph iladelphia National Leagu e Ball Pa rk, November 26. The mud on the field was ankle-d eep, ma king La Salle's sweeping end runs for the most part a fai lu re. O nly once did La G ra nge have the ball in La Salle's territory, wh en th eir full back ran 60 yards for a touchdown. The goal a fter this touchdown defeated La Salle. After La Salle sco red a tou chdown, t hey failed to kick the goal. In the game " Lady Lu ck" was again st La Salle. Once a touchdown was called back, and then the goal touchdown missed. The condition of the field was also a g reat hindrance to La Salle, as th ey depended mostly on end runs for their attack. But th e defeat does not lessen the prestige of the La Salle team. Newspapermen fro m both Philadelphia and Chi cago said that La Salle had a wonderful team and that on a dry fi eld they would have easily defeated La Grange. Greater than anything else in this game was t he sportsmanship shown by the two teams. T he institutions were complimented and told tha t their games would do much to promote true sportsmanship a nd intersectional games between preparatory schools.

T HE Basketball team completed a very successful season.
Thought at the beginning of the season to be a team below par, they proved to be one of the best teams in and around the city. by reaching the semi-final round in the University of Pennsylvania tournament. The teams entered in this tournament were of the highest calibre. and La Salle was defeated by the team which won the championship. Truly this is a fine record for a team. within a grasp of the championship.

Bunyan's immortal work, "The Pilgrim's Progress." For surely. the young protegies of La Salle College are striving pilgrims, struggling alotig the straight and narrow path of discipline, toward their divine goal-knowledge. The class of 1923 began its career much the same as most classes do-marked with incongruity and doomed to gradual diminishment in its ranks until only those of the fittest proclivities survived. Many had fallen by the wayside and out of some thirty pupils only twenty-five remain. Under the guidance and kindly though impressionistic tutelege of Reverend Brother Maurice, the doughty pilgrims plowed through the mire of hard work and reached the opposite shore, Second High. ¡ ,\fter the third month of sophomore yea r had passed a great calamity befell them, Brother Maurice was forced to leave because of ill health. His good work was capably taken over by Brother Director Richard for a temporary length of time. Toward the second term of the year came Brother Nicholas. who not only proved to be a most competent teacher. but a good friend and mo st esteemed leader in all our athletic undertakings. So passed the second year of the pilgrims' journey. Now came the most taxing and arduous phase of their passage. their junior year. Manifold were the wiles of Appollyon and treacherous "¡ere the sna res that were overcom e. \\'ith Brother Louis as a provisional tutor the students were given a substantial basis which has been greatly widened tnto a more complex and intrinsic scope by the careful. discreet and zealous efforts of Brother Charles. \Vith "Omnia Vincit labor." as their motto. the Pilgrims of 1923 shall soon begin the last lap of their progress . \ \ ' e hope that all shal l succeed.

Q H, now comes the day of days. \ Vhich o'er us hast cast a spell, Like the blotting of the sun's rays It is to say, "Farewell." Cruel time that makes us disband , Sending one East and another \ <\'est; Some far distant into foreign land And others to meet their needed rest. Oh. de<u- classmates, forget us not, Let time our deep friendship tell, Until we meet in the dear spot, \ Vhere there is no word "FarewelL"

Motor Stories: A CERTAIN man was out THE MAN WHO SMILED
THROUGH
motoring one day when "Smash !"-a truck struck him amidships and left his car in a most deplorable condition. "Well," said he, smiling through, '·that car looks hopeless, but it isn't, I know!" A telephone call to The Wolfington Shop• brought him rescue, and their expert craftsmen speedily restored his motor car to all its original elegan ce and beauty-at a surprisingly low cost. MORAL :
