IF-~~HY did we select the title "The Blue and Gold" for our Year Book?

Was it because of the many blue Mondays and golden Saturdays that marked our stay at dear old La Salle? No, indeed, this was not the motive; it was because we could not find, after puzzling our brains with long lists of suggested titles, a better title than the good old colors of La Salle. It was indeed a happy inspiration, and no more fitting title could be chosen"7 .for, many a time and oft, have we seen those splendid colors waving victoriow:lly over athletic fields and in banquet halls. They are for us a symbol of love and loyalty-love for the old school and loyalty to her principles,

as exemplified in her teaching. Their sight and name shall ever be for us a beacon light illuminating our path ever "upward and onward" till we have achieved that success in life which will reflect credit, not only on ourselves; but also on our parents, our friends and our school. The book, itself, we will keep and cherish as a link connecting us with the past ·and all its sweet memories, and as an impirntion and an incentive to greater efforts in the future.

CRass 1923 At first sight, it may seem to be rather egotistical on our part to praise ourselves; nevertheless, we cannot refrain from saying a few words in our own behalf, not so much for the sake of "blowing our own horn," as to serve as guiding posts, as it were, to our worthy successors in directing their course over the roads we have traveled. It is to be hoped, that they will profit by our example and labor earnestly to acquire, foster and preserve that spirit of loyalty, devotedness and fidelity which has ever been an outst anding featm e of this year's graduating class. Many inst ances might be cited in favor of th e above claim, but every one knows, only too well, th at no matter how many times we were called upon to support some charitable project, th at we responded to the appeal promptly and generously. We must admit, for the sake of truth, that occasionally, some of us allowed athletic activities and other forms of recreation to interfere with our studies, but when this occurred, the neglect was of short duration and the spirit of real study generally prevailed. Perhaps, the most prominent trait in the class as a whole was the interest that the members took in one another ; each student was always ready and willing to render to his c.ompanions all the assistance in his power, when such help wa s necessary. However, let this not be understood to mean that any indirect means were employed to obtain credits but rather that one could always depend on the help of his classmates in the preparation of lessons.

Brother Isidore It is in times like these, when we are compelled by force of circumstances, to look over the past that our minds dwell on those scenes that wear a sombre rather than a gay aspect. In the past four years, the homes of many of our companions have been visited by death: that was the time of their sorrow and our hearts went out to them in sincerest sympathy; but we all felt that a true and loyal friend had been taken from us, and the Christian Brothers mourned the loss of one of the most distinguished members of the Order, when an all wise Providence deemed it time to reward the fidelity of His faithful servant and called Brother Isidore home. Brother Isidore's simple, unassuming ways, and his gentle, quiet disposition gave us no clue to his scholarly ability or his wonderful personality; so that it was only after his death that we learned what a gr·e at, good man he really was. As a token of the esteem in which he was held, bishops, monsignori, priests, lawyers, doctors, merchants, and men holding prominent positions in the city's government, came to his funeral to pay their last tribute of respect and honor to

one whom they learned to love as wise counsellor, gifted teacher and faithful friend. Brother Isidore has taught us in his life and above all in his death a lesson that we shall not soon forget.

The Partil!lg of the W &ys We hnve looked forward with a great deal of pleasure and perhaps, not a little impntienrc, to the day that would see us graduated from the High school department of La Salle College, and now that it haf' come 11t last, we nrc far from feeling so elated as we had anticipated; truly, ''di~tnnce lend~ enl'hantment to the Yiew." ·we cannot help but feel a wave of sadnef's sweep oYer us ,..,.hen, a:o graduates, we glance over the divide that we have just crossed. Graduation distinguishes us at once as men with men's r·csponsibilitics; it cuts us off effectually from all those athletic games and amusements that were the delight and pride of our high school days. Let us hope that durin g our college course we may experience as much real pleasure as we did durin g our high school career.

01UJ.r Motives We ha Ye tried our best in th e compiling of t he Year Book to forestall any remark or allusion t hat would tend to wound t he feelings of any of our companion s or schoolmat es whose faces appear among the following pages; however, if in spite of our effor ts, some element of a disturbing n ature has found its way into the book, we wish to state beforehand t hat it will be an accident and "accidents will happen in the best regul at ed families."

01UJ.r Thal!llks The poet Burns says with a great deal of truth , " M an 's ingratitude to man makes countless thousands mourn. " There will be no reason for t ears over our lack of appr eciation, for we cannot find words in which to express our sincere thanks to all those who have, in any way, contributed towards making this publication a success. And to those whose advertisements appear in the back of the book, we are especially grateful and we trust that our fri ends may find it both convenient and profitable to patronize t hem. Finally, our th anks are, in no small measure, due to our beloved parents for the many sacrifices they have made in order to p,rocure for us th e advantages of a high school education; but words are paltry things when we try to arr ange them in such a manner as to express our heartfelt sentiments of gratitude and appreciation towards our beloved teachers and th eir superiors who have so successfully guided our bark over the troubled waters of our four years' cruise. WILLIAM H. LONG, Editor-i n-Chief.

JLOVE the blue in the evening sky, For it speaks of peace and rest; When the day of toil and work is o'er, It seemeth to me the best. The flowers have closed their eyes in sleep; The birds have ceased t heir song; But my heart now pines for just one thing,For only the blue I long. I love the gold of the rising sun , As it fills with joy and cheer ; And the gloom of night before it fli es, Then gladsome things appear. But, oh, when it rains, my heart is sad; Contented to be, I try, With life so dear, and calm, and bright, For only the gold I sigh. But when the blue from the sky is gone, And the night walks in too soon; And when the gold from the sun has fled, In a blaze of light at noon: Where shall I look for the blue and gold? Ah! tell me true and fairYou'll find them both in the "Annual". The BLUE and GOLD are there. FRAN CIS M cCus KER.

All hail! our heavenly patron, hail! We greet thee, father, from this vale; With help from thee, we ne'er can fail, St. de La Salle. Since thou hast chosen youth to be Thy special predilection, we Are thereby doubly bound to thee, St. de La Salle. We place ourselves beneath thy care, With trusting hope that we shall share Thy crown so bright, thy mansion fair, St. de La Salle. While under thy protecting arm, No foe unseen can work u s harm; No vice, fo r u s, have any ch arm, St. de La Salle. Should sorrow's gloom o'erspread our sky; Should pain or anguish cau se a sigh : We'll turn our eyes to thee on high, St. de La Salle. When sunshine lights, with cheerful ray, Our life's serene and peaceful way; 0, teach our grateful h earts to pray, St. de La Salle.

BROTHER E. RICHARD The High School Seniors of 1923 will always sinc erely and gratefully remember their former President, Brother Richard , and it takes advantage of this opport u nity to thank him once more for all he has, In his kindness, done for them.

When life's short day is closin g here, E'en death, itself, will cause no fear, For thou, our father, will be n ear, St. Âˇ de La Salle. Then like to Eastern homing dove, Which shoots aloft on wings of love; We'll fly to God and thee above, St. de La Salle. RICHARD GRAHAM .

Tlb.e CRass of 1923 With ou r Grammar School happily fin ished, And our spirits with fervor aglow, We entered with j oy La Salle College, In learning and virtue to grow. Though the days of our High School have ended, And the moment has come to depart, Sweet memories fair and fond friendship so rare, Linger lovingly, deep in each heart. Richest perfume of joys that have cheered us, T ender harmonies blest from above, H over round, in t his hour of departure, Like angels that whi sper of love. We remember t he p ray'r and the study, The Gym and the sports all enjoy, The clear and enlightened instruction, The pleasu r es with naught of alloy. Can we ever forget our parents, Or those who have taken thei r place? Can we ever forget our fond teachers, Who have helped us to run in the race? Can we ever forget one another, Till the trials of life shall be done? Can we ever forget La Salle College, This side of eternity's sun? But, we hear in the distance the bugle; It bids us make ready for war, It sounds from all parts of the country; It echoes from regions afar:There are battles to fight in life's conflict; There are enemies lying in wait; There a re sna r es to entrap the un'Yary; Let us heed not his trap nor his bait.

â&#x20AC;˘

And the tidings to take from our High School, To the comrades engaged in the fight? What message of cheer shall we bear them, When our efforts with theirs we unite? Let u s bravely take part in the battle; Let us fight at the front of the fray; Let us br.ave every danger and peril, Till in triumph we carry the day.

BROTHER E. CHARLES Teacher of the Senior High

When the call of the roll is re-echoed In the camp of the King we adore, May no traitor be found in our number; May we stand every man at the fore; May we grace the division of honor, With the Captain whose cause we uphold; May we merit the blessed invitation To repose in His mansions of gold.

CRaÂ§Â§ P oenn How oft, in the days that are gone have we sighed For a glimpse at th e writings of fate, To see if we'd look to the future with pride, Or should view it with horror and hate: With hope in the former we all went to work From the rise till the set of the sun; No lessons at all could we lawfully shirk, Else the latter had certainly won. Th e years in their turn floated swiftly away, Till the morn of the end is in sight: We longingly looked for the dawn of that day, Which should tell, we had won in the fight. Ah! the strife we have waged with colll'age so bold Through years that seemed long in their going, Now laurels are crowning each radiant brow, And our hearts are with joy overflowing. As backward we look to a pleasureful dream Of a fairy land hidden in youth's happy years, Our days at La Salle in the High School, seem As a mist that fades when the sun appears. Now, it is far from pleasant to say farewell To our schoolmates kind and our teach ers true; Such remembrances sweet in our minds shall dwell, That it's with regret we say-Adieu. IGNATius McCoRMICK.

We'd hear the ch eerful song of birds, And smell the fragrant flowers there; The breezes balmy waft perfume, And frolic with your ringlets fair. At early morn we'd wend our way To some bright lake not far from camp; Deep silence reigns upon the air; The grass and leaves would still be damp With morning dew, before the sun Had kindled on the summer Ia wn; We'd take our bath in waters cool; Just at the coming of the dawn.

S the class of 1923 will graduate in a few weeks and len,·e behind it all the fond memories of the happy days spent together nt Ln Salle, I take it upon myself to record, as far as I can remember, the principal events that took place during the four years of our companionship. So friends, Romans, countrymen and you from Doylestown, lend me your enrs. On a bright sunny morning in the year 1920, the following boys assembled and were enrolled by Brother Richard as members of the Freshman class, high school department: Samuel Brenner, John Bonniwcll, William Commiskey, Marcus Dougherty, R aymond Fearon, Charles Flynn, Joseph H aas, Patrick H enry, Joseph Knappic, William Long, Edward Quinn, John Magosin, B. J. M cLaughlin , Ignatius M cCormick, Daniel O'Neill, John O'Neill , John O'Connor, Joseph Pescatore, James Rufe, Gerard Runte, James Slane, John Taggart, John Tully, Victor Voss and Andrew W arcL Under the t utelage of Brothers Maurice and Edward, we succeeded in covering the first lap of the race , and . the long vacation prepared us for the second stretch in the running contest . At the beginning of this term, we all rejoiced to see Brother Maurice again at the helm; three of our numbers had, howev er, abandoned our ranks and went to the Commercial department of the school and arc graduating this year from that department: McLaughlin, Henry and O'Neill. We started off the third year with Brother Charles as our general teacher and Professor Rogez taught us modern languages. I forgot to say that Brother Lewis also taught us at the beginning of this term. At the close of school, we all adjourned to Laurel Springs where everybody enjoyed himself immensely, though no one fell out of a boat. When we assembled for the last lap of the course, we found our ranks strengthened by the addition of James Sullivan, Juleus Sullivan, Jolm Giblin and Francis McCusker. James D. Rufe and Ignatius McCormick were elected president and vice-president rcsp ectivdy. During this year Brother Eliphus was our professor of mathematics until his death in April when he was replaced by Brother Charles·; the latter also taught us drawing; Doctor Emil Doernenberg took care of our French and Spanish lessons; Brother F. John , Vice-President of the College, looked after our physics periods. Brother Gcrardian superintended the English aspirations. · . Among the most notable things that happened, one of the most remarkable was the fact that of the four teams, baseball, football, bask~tball and track, chosen to represent the school, the four captains were chosen from the Fourth High: Long, football; Bonniwell, basketball; Ward, baseball; Taggart, track. Such is a mere outline of the history of the class of Nineteen Twenty-three; if any one has been forgotten, overlooked or slighted, the fault is clue to the frailties of the historian, who can truthfully say that it was unintentional. In conclusion I bid my worthy professors and you a fond adieu. JOHN BONNIWELL.

I used to ponder how in truth, Our ancestors, could e'er exist; So many things they must have missed. They had no movies, history states, No phones on which to make their dates, No medicines to cure their pains ; No motor boats, no aeroplanes, No railroad lines, no motor cars, No cigarettes, and no cigars; They didn't have electric light, They always stayed at home at night, To them a jazz band was unknown; They'd never heard a saxophone, They'd never played a phonograph, Nor undergone a shower bath. And man in those days had no chance To revel in a modern dance. Then there were trifles which no doubt; We simply could not do without; Such as the modern paper clip, Or garters with the velvet grip , Their life as far as I could see, Was one eternal misery. DAN. O'NEILL, '23.

H. J. LONG, Editor-in-Chief of the Blue and Gold, reached W ILLIAM terra firma for the first time in Portland, Oregon, on September 16, 1905.

J. McCORMICK took his first peep at the light of day on July 8, IGNATIUS 1904, and lost no time in letting the world know of his arrival; one of the

Fortunate for us, Bill heeded the call of the City of Brotherly Love and, while yet a child, accompanied his beloved parents to the greatest home city in the world. If you don't believe this last, ask .Bill.

Bill loves life in the open, and when weather and season permit, he may be seen trudging through the woods , gun in hand, watching to see if some unwary deer rabbit or bird should come within the range of his rifle. We may also see him armed with rod, reel and pipe searching along p.eaceful stream for a good place for a "bite." Here we leave him, doing that which he loves best.

neighbors said that he had the strongest pair of lungs he ever saiW in a child and should he ever become a huekster, people would buy from him just for the peaee of the neighborhood. Mac's excellent wo.rk in his classes together with his manly bearing and keen interest in all class affairs could not help but attract the attention of his classmates and he was their unanimous choice for Vice-President, he was also elected as a member of the dance committee. · Besides winning the confidence of his companions in his organizing ability, he likewise gained their admiration as an athlete; his work at centre on the football team for tJWo years was of the star variety. In all wdrk, intellectual, physical or otherwise, "Ignatz" (Quinn's pet name for Mac) is a firm believer in the proverb: "Actions speak louder than words." He won't stand talking about a thing all day, he just goes to work and does it, and there's an end 0f it, as Dr. Johnson says. Our class p.r ophet tells us that Mac will become a renowned physician and that his name will be known far and wide, even to a greater extent than Coue, the great French auto-suggestion expert. Be this as it may, Mac is well fitted to take up the preparation necessary for any of the higher professions. This we do know, that whatever wark the future holds for Mac to do, it will be well done. He takes with him the very best wishes of the class for a very happy, prosperous and successful career.

It would be hard to find a more agreeable companion than Bill; he had rather concede a point than risk the .danger of offending some one by contradicting them. He can appreciate a good joke, but never stoops to anything childish or foolish. In the summer, Bill acts as life guard at Ocean City, N. J., and has been instrumental in saving the lives of many foolhardy people, who ventured out too far. In a figurative sense, he has saved many of his classmates from the dangerous undertow of indifference and neglect by the example of his industry and application. Bill was elected captain of last year's football team and, everything considered, the squad did very well under his leadership; but, Bill is first of all, a student and never lets sports of any kind conflict with his studies. His ability as an orator; cool, quiet disposition; practical judgment, and quickness to grasp ·suggestions fit him for the legal profession, which, we believe, he intends to follow.

and biographers sometimes differ among themselves as to the HISTORIANS birthplace of famous men. In order that there may be no dispute in the affair and as a matter of civic pride, we wish to state that Victor J. Voss is a native of Philadelphia, having made his initial appearance at 2053 Allegheny Avenue on J anuary 16, 1906 ; but ten years later his revered parents took up their residence in New Britain, Bucks County, and as a necessary consequence, Victor pitched his tent in the same delightful spot. Victor received his elementary training at Our Lady H elp of Christians' parochial school where was "shaped the anchor of our hope." Of these early years we know nothing worthy of note, except that they "glided on like rivers that water the woodlands," and indeed the same quotation might be fittingly applied to the scholastic years that he spent as a student of La Salle Prep. This does not mean that Victor's companionship was of a passive kind which contributes nothing more than a smile to the general good-fellowship; no indeed, we would do him an injustice by even thinking so; he could either take or crack a joke· as well as any one else in the room. Victor owes his unique popularity among his classmates and teachers to the fact that he has always been a really good student and a splendid companion. By his membership in the class of '23 he has added considerably to our prestige and , as a matter of fact, we can hardly imagine what our class would look like if Victor's name were not on the liEt. With his usual reticence, Victor has kept us in the dark with regard to his future intentions, however, rwe ha.ve little d~mbt, but that they are in keeping with his charming personality. 32

Unbounded courage and compassion joined, Tempering each other in the victor's mind, Alternately procla im him good and gr eat, And make the hero and the man complete. -Addison.

THERE is no trait, perh aps, in ~ur common nature so much appreciated in young or old as unselfishness ; It opens t he door to the deep recesses of our hearts and m~k~s its poss~ssor our cherished friend and faithful confidant. Joseph A. Pescatore Is Imbued With this inestimable virtue in no small deo-ree and this together with his pleasing manner, renders him one of the most pop~la; members of the Fourth High. . St. Paul and Our Lady of Good Counsel schools prepared Joe for La Salle high school and he reflects great credit on both institutions in more ways than one. ~s a st~dent ~ere l:e ha s a~ways achieved a fair rate of scholastic standing and his relatwns with his supenors and instructors have been marked by that respect and deference characteristic of one of good training and home culture. Among his class companions he is affable, courteous and considerate· he is loya l in his friend ship, kind and willing at all times to do his " bit" in the f~rther ance of the,~e~eral goo_d, a,~~ t~ough we may meet many a friend in our journey across the Hills of Time It Is our candid opinion that we'll never make the acquaintance of a kinder, better or more sympathetic friend than Joseph A. P escatore. As for athletics, Joe has never aspired after honors on the 'Varsity teams but has taken an active part in the baseball and basketball class teams. Clas~ affmrs always ranked high with Joe.

It is Joe's intention, we are told, to follow the medical profession and we ar~ p~rfectly_ satisfied t~at he will do honor to his calling and untold good in rehevmg the Ills of suffermg humanity; if Joe attains all the success that his classma~es wish him, his life will be one long dream of unalloyed happiness with the desire never to wake up. 33

F a thing is worth doing at all, it is worth doing well." This is Gerard Runte's philosophy of human activity-a philosophy that he practices every day both in great and small things; everything that he does, he performs with an earnestness and thoroughness that is truly admirable. Four years ago Gerard was an honor graduate of St. Peter's parochial school, and then he came to La Salle to continue to build on a foundation that was well laid, and that he has stuck to his purpose is evident frolffi the fact that he has always been among the first on the list when the weekly report was read or the results of the examinations were published. Gerard is serious, earnest and sincere, no sham nor "humbug" in his makeup; he looks upon study as an important obligation, and nothing could induce him to absent himself from his classes without sufficient reason. By this, we do not mean that Gerard sees only the darker side of things and is not a believer in a little pleasure now and then; far from it, he has a keen sense of the ridiculous and can enjoy a joke, even at his own expense, as well as the rest of us. Hi character may be considered as a happy blending of the grave and the gay, with a slight emphasis on the gay. Gerard was seriously handicapped in his studies this year by having to undergo a major surgical operation that kept him out of school five weeks; but this instead of discouraging him, only spurred him on to greater efforts, and in a short time he had recovered lost ground. He has taken an active part in all affairs, social or otherwise, that had for their end the welfare of the school, and was always a real "booster" when occasion required to be up and doing. In graduating from La Salle high school, Gerard carries with him, besides his diploma, the very best wishes of his classmates for unlimited success in all his undertakings.

IN St.

P~t~r' s Paro:hial schooi was laid the first scene in the drama of John F.

Magosm s educatiOnal career. The part he enacted in this scene was not revealed to us , but we are sure that it was an important one, as John rwould scorn ~o _perforr~ a trivial part. The second scene is laid in La Salle high school and It IS to this latter that we will confine our remarks in this brief sketch. At an early age, John began the study of music and has kept up the practice of it ever since; he derives great pleasure from it as it suits his taste and affords him occupati~n and relief from the monotony of every day life, especially since he took up his residence in the "Deserted Village," a place known on the map and street cars as Olney, Pa. _Among the many excellent qualities that characterize John Magosin, punctuality, good nature and an ardent devotion to duty predominate ; as a member of the class, he wa always one of the first to manifest his keen interest and to give his unqualified support to whatever might be suggested for the benefit of the class. After music, John's principal pastime is basketball and his playing of the g_ame is in keeping with the manner in which he discharges his school obligations-thorough; he is also very kind and obliging and never refuses to assist others in any way he possibly can. It is needless to add that he is held in high esteem by his teachers and classmates and all those who have had the good fortune to become acquainted with him. In our voyaging across the sea of life, time and fortune may take us far apart; our trip, no doubt, will have its bad days and its good uays, but sunshine or shadow, nothing will banish from our minds the happy recollections that we'll cherish of John F. Magosin. 35

would leave this page blank from the picture down, because the boy in question is too well known to the students and friends of La Salle to rieed any biographical notice here. His good practical common sense, sound judgment, business acumen, and executive ability made him the students' choice for positions of trust and honor in the athletic and social affairs of the institution. He is a student in whom we have always found all that is decent, honorable and refined; there is nothing haughty or self-sufficien_t about Juleus, on the contrary, he is most gracious, and diffident of his own opinion, being ever ready to accept the views of others, when he judged such views better than his own. When-but why go on, you, dear readers, know him better than we do, but, perhaps, you do not know, that the unqualified success of the last two La Salle Alumni balls was largely due to the work of Juleus in managing the affairs. He also piloted the football and basketball teams of this school year to most successful issues. From this, it is perfectly clear that he possesses a wholesome enthusiasm for all that relates to the welfare of his school and class. With all this work which demanded so much of his time, one would be inclined to think that his studies were neglected, but such was not the case, for good class reports are the first requisites for preferment at La Salle. A word to the wise is sufficient.

Âˇ,

LITTLE did Ireland's sweet singer dream when he penned the beautiful lines we have just read that they would be reflected years later in the life of a young man bearing the good old Celtic name-Sullivan, and proud of it too, as who would not? Truly, James, as far as giving trouble is concerned, steered his bark over the waters of his high school life so quietly and gently that not even a ripple remains to mark its passage. Cardinal Ne1wman defined gentleman concisely and accurately when he stated: A gentleman is one who never unnecessa rily gives pain. Taking this as a basis fo.r our statement, we can say with all sincerity that James J. is an ideal gentleman. A due consideration for the rights of others combined with a courtly grace and culture make him what Shakespeare defines as the "Mirror< of all courtesy." During all the time that we have known him, no one has ever heard him give expression to a harsh word or an unkind remark. His is not a studied ease nor a veneer of refinement that is only superficial and disappears in a moment of forgetfulness or when one is caught off one's guard; but it is rather a trait of character that has its source in unselfishness and true nobility of soul.

We are sure that we voice the sentiments of the entire class when we say that we are sincerely grateful to Juleus Sullivan for all he has done for the class of '23.

Were this all that we have to admire in our fellow classmate, he would fall short of the purpose for which he entered these academic halls ; as a student, James has never twinkled among th~ stars nor has he captured many prizes in the course of his career at La Salle; nevertheless, he compares favorably with the rank and file and has every reason to feel proud of the efforts he has made in his progress along the flowery path of knowledge.

If this is one of the qualifications of the chief executive, then Richard James Graham may one day hope to be at the head of one of the greatest nations of the world; stranger things than that have come to pass and it is not at all beyond the bounds of probability that some of us may, sooner than we imagine, be seeking a position on his cabinet with no other claim, perhaps, than just foF old times' sake. All conjectures aud speculations aside, Dick is a really fine companion and richly deserves all honors and favors that have been or may be bestowed upon him. He can count on our votes in his favor, irrespective of party considerations, if ever he gets in the political game.

THE

ab~ve quotation was not ill chosen as an i~troduction to this short. biographical sketch of Samuel Brenner; as he Is not only an accomplished musician, but dearly loves his art and mu sic seems to permeate his every action. He has succeeded in blending together those beautiful traits of character that harmonize ideally IWith his surroundings, thus making him a congenial companion, a helpful classmate and a faithful friend.

Whatever else may be said of the members of the class they show good judgment in their elections; they could hardly have displayed this better than in their unanimous vote in the choice of Sam for business man ager of the Class Book. A student that is faithful to his books will, as a rule, be equally conscientious in the fulfillment of any other task which he may undertake. He discharged his duty as business manager of the "Annual" in a manner that left nothing to be desired.

Dick tells us that prior to his coming here he spent three years at St. Stephen's Parochial school and put the finishing touches on at Our Lady of the Rosary and he reflects great credit on both institutions, as the durability of a building depends almost entirely on the solidity of its foundation and here Dick has builded well. Dick, we should say Richard here, is, according to information received over the radiophone, quite a social lion, which, no doubt, accounts for his . urbanity and polish. He is the originator of the R. J. G. haircomb which is rea1ly attractive-take another look at the picture. Should any of our kind readers doubt Dick Graham's ability as an athlete, we refer them to any of the men that played football against him last season.

If present accomplishments may be taken as an earnest of future achievements, then we can say without any fear of contradiction that Samuel Brenner's future career as a. lruwyer will be a useful and successful one.

Sam's excellent work in studies and manly bearing could not help but make him popular no less with the students than with the faculty. Prior to his parking his pleasing personality in our midst Sam attended Philadelphia public schools where he laid a firm foundation for the future intellectual structure he planned to erect, and while he has never engaged in any athletic contests while here, nevertheless, he has alway s given them his moral as well as his financial support.

RIOR to his coming to La Salle, Frank J. McCusker attended St. Michael's . Parochial school and St. Joseph 's Preparatory college; he joined the class of '23 on its final lap around the high school course. "Show me your companions and I'll tell you what kind of a man you are." is an old proverb, and like all old sayings there is a great deal of truth in it. When Frank was given a place in our ranks, last September, many were wondering just what kind of young man Frank really was; but we were not kept very long in suspense; the above proverb helped us to the proper solution, rwe saw Mac's company and concluded at once that he was well worthy to be one of us on graduation day, at least as far as being a gentleman was concerned. Mac has had his name inscribed on the Roll of Honor every month since the beginning of the school year, this in itself is ample evidence of his ability as a

student. As an athlete Frank has made a name for himself quite in keeping with his scholastic standing. Were it not for the injuries that he sustained on the gridiron early in the season he would haYe won his letter; but his real game i baseball, about which 1we need not say anything here, you can go out any day now and watch him work and we are sure that you will apprecia.te the fine points of the game better than you ever did before. Mac is another artist of the terpsichorean type, and he carries himself with ease and grace that he excites the envy and jealousy of many young men of his age, who seem to be forgotten by their fair partners when Mac is around. It is Frank's ambition to become an Electrical Engineer and we think his talents and knowledge would fit him well for such a calling. 40

jN that section of our fair city known as Wissahickon there arrived, on January

of Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, as the foremost Electrical Engineer T HEof theprestige United States, received its first jolt on September 29, 1902, when John E. Giblin was born.

The shock was felt in Chester, Pa. Soon after the city of Philadelphia was honored that John was numbered as one of its worthy citizens.

After sojourning at other schools for periods more or less lengthy in duration, John finally anchored at La Salle Prep. and from what we have seen of "Jack," as he is known to everybody except his mother, we are sincerely sorry that some good angel did not direct him to Broad and Stiles sooner. "Jack's" record in the realm of sports, during his brief stay among us, is really an enviable one. The nineteen-twenty-two football season would have looked a "sorry si'ght" were it not for the timely work of Giblin. And football is not the only athletic sport in which "Jack" displays unusual talent. As sub on the basketball quintet he has no reason to be ashamed of his work.

Jack has many excellent qualifications that will make his journey through life a happy one. He is even tempered, graceful and considerate; moreover, he is easily satisfied and a smile of sweet contentment always lingers around his pleasing countenance. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" seems to have been coined for our Jack's special benefit; he gives to each-play and work-its own proper time and never allows the time of one to infringe on that of the other. In conclusion, we are happy to state that whether on the football field , the basketball court or in the halls or classrooms of the College, Jack has always been a gentleman and we are confident al1ways will be. 42

14, 1905, such a lovely baby at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. O'Connor, that virtually the entire population of the notable locality turned out to see the new celebrity. The popularity of the youngster did not cease with hi s celebrated arrival but ' increased with his growth; so that the child was in a fair way of being spoiled by the neighbors and friends of the famlly. In order to avoid giving offense to the good people of Wissahickon and for the boy' own benefit, Mr. O'Connor moved with his family to 332 Roxborough Avenue, Roxborough, where he still resides. Shortly after settling down in Roxborough, John's devoted parents conducted h)m to the school of St. J olm the Baptist; here Jack did not prove such a favorite among the boys of his class, they resented his air of superiority, and Irish-like he proved it by "lickin"g" every boy that refused to pay tribute to this new Caesar. When Jack had consumed all the knowledge they could give him in Manayunk and established his supremacy beyond dispute, he looked around for new fields of endeavor; and after due reflection steered. his course to La Salle where he has steadfastly maintained the record he brought with him as far as 'studies are concerned. He had no wish to uphold his degree of proficiency along the pugilistic line. All jokes aside, Jack is a real boy and duty done, he enjoys life in all its fullness maintaining that we can fulfill our obligations and have lots of fun at the same time. We forgot to ask the prophet of the class what the future holds for Jack but whatever it may be he has our very best wishes for a brilliant career. ' 43

In all thy humors, whether grave or mellow, Thou'rt such a touchy, t esty, pleasant fellow, Hast so much wit and mirth and spleen about thee, There is no living with thee, nor without thee. -Addison.

ARIETY, we are told, is the spice of life, and nothing could be truer, particularly in regard to school life; the monotony of having the. same lesso~, by the same teacher, at the same time every day throughout the ent.Ire ~cholastlC year, is surely going to get on one's nerves, so that a change of any kmd IS always hailed with delight. Sometimes, especially on Monday mornings, ennui like a mantle would settle down on the Senior High, and, to all appearances, the sun of our happiness would never rise again. Suddenly, t.he solemn stillness would be broken by a voice in the hallway, that contained a reproach and a threat: "O'Neill, you're late again!" To which John J. would reply in high strident tones: "Brother, there was a cow on the track"-John comes from 69th and Market on the Frankford L-"and she walked all the way in front of the train to Broad Street." After this plausible excuse, John would saunter into class with a countenance that betrayed his satisfaction and secret joy; to look at him was all that was necessary to drive gloom and ennui to a place of concealment. John is indeed a very enjoyable fellow and has been the life of the class for the last four years; he always said or did something that put the class in good humor, though ofttimes he himself had to suffer the consequences of his ~rank or joke; but on these occasions he took his medicine like a man and never whimpered.

Jack has one of the finest minds in the room and with a little more applicaÂˇ tion to duty could easily be among the leaders of his class along intellectual line< However, for the sake of fairness, we miUst admit that John did not come up to our expectations as far as study was concerned. Here's hoping, Jack, that a career of usefulness awaits you. 44

There's a pleasure in t he pathless woods; There's rapture on the lonely shore; There's society where none intrudes By the deep sea and music in its roar. -Byron.

HE most widely known and, without doubt, one of the most popular boys in the school is James F. Slane. He became known to the West Philadelphia people for the first time on May 6, 1906, and his mother says that he was one of the best little fellows in the world during his childhood, never caused trouble to anyone and was a general favorite around the neighborhood. His father died several years ago and James has been the comfort and consolation of his good mother ever since-Permit us to add: A boy who loves and honors his mother will never stray far from the path of rectitude. James has made fair progress along the ,royal road to knowledge ; but, as far as we know, he has never been arrested for breaking the speed laws, however, in these days of recklessness it is not easy to tell what may happen. Every year, the last month or six rweeks went frightfully slow for James, and this because he had a mental vision of himself in a beautiful sailboat careening across the placid waters of Stone Harbor and the cooling breezes filling his lungs with life, health and vigor:-Is it any wonder the time seemed to go so slowly? There are many nice things that we would like to say about Jimmie but just what to assert and 1what to omit; must give us pause, as Hamlet says. Picture to yourself a true and loyal comrade, who possesses all the good qualities that you would like to see in a friend, and lacking all the bad traits that would in any way mar those good ones. If your picture is perfect, you have in your mind's eye a true image of James F. Slane. We look for great things from James in the future, and we have no misgivings that he will disappoint us in our expectations. 45

Accordir g to present indications, Bill is now laying the found ation of his futur e greatness. Bill is an exceptionally bright boy and, though not over fond of his books, has been fairly successful in his studies ; he has a very cheerful disposition and his many " jokes" as he calls t hem, den ote his desire t o put others in good humor, as well as himself. Bill is an ardent disciple of T erpsichore and there are few of the renowne;d muse's follawers who can compete with Bill wh en it is a question of facile, graceful, rhythmic movement around the dance hall. Another of the fine arts that "Bill" has acquired is th e mastery of th e violin , the beautiful strains of which would please the most fa stidious of music lovers. I s it any wonder th en th at our fu ture celebrity should be a general favorite among his companions and a social lion among their fair sisters? One could almost wish to be a member of the gentler sex in order to share his company and enjoy his dancing and music. Germant own's representation in the Senior High has n ever t aken an active part in athletics at La Salle, but, he has always shawn his interest in th e games by his presen ce and encouragement. It is our fond est hope that "Bill" will exceed in greatness all that has been foretold of him. 46

cHARLES C. FLYNN hails from T acony and that means he had to get up every morning winter and summer, rain and sunshine, every school day for th e las.t four years and he says one never gets used to it. It's all right, y ou know, for those who have a long sleep every morning to quote that old saw of Dr. Franklin: " E arly to bed and early to rise makes a man healt hy, wealthy and wise," but just let th em try the rising early for a while and they 'll tell you that Dr. Franklin 's doctrine is too antiquated to pay any at tention to it . The foregoing is Charley's opinion of early rising. Cha rley has stored his mind with a large fund of information on literary subj ects, especially dramatic themes; it seem>s that he has a special predilection for the myriad minded Shakespeare and t akes part icular pleasure in reciting some of th e inimitable speeches found in the Bard of Avon's immortal productions ; who knows if Charley may not yet become an exponent of Shakespeare and tread the boards in the footsteps of H amden and M antell. Light opera and motion pictures are supplanting th e grand old plays whose moral was obvious and th eatregoers could not help but fe el spiritually influen ced by their performance. This is getting away from the subj ect, but it may be a useful hint to actors in the erpbryo; whatever that means. The fact that Charley is being gradu ated from the senior high is sufficient guarantee of his work and intellectual ability . H e is very even tempered and no one has ever seen him in bad humor and his companionship is sought by every man in the class. If Charley brings to his future work the same amount of energy and enthusiasm that he has brought to his school duties, his success is assured. 47

HERE is only one place in the whole world in which to live, only one church in which to worship, and only one school in which to receive an education. We are not in a position to prove the veracity of this statement but merely put it down as synopsis of the utterances of Marcus P. Dougherty, when that young man speaks of St. Stephen's parish, church or school, and he talks about one or the other on every occasion that presents itself. If all he says on this, his pet subject of conversation, were broadcasted, the radio people would be compelled to quit the business. Besides being an admirable student "Doc" is also an athlete of no mean ability; he is equally proficient in basketball, baseball, track and trigonometry; however, his favorite game is baseball and as a necessary consequence, his daily joke: "Did you ever hear a baseball?" to which Ward invariably answers, "No, but I saw a horse fly." A:part from all this, "Doc's" chief asset is his unbounded optimism; no matter how dark and dreary the day may be or how monotonous and wearisome it may become to listen to the same thing over and over again, he is ever cheerful and pleasant. · It is needless to add that his happy disposition makes Marcus a very companionable companion and his attendance is requested at every social affair in St. Stephen's and the neighboring parisbes. "Pete;" the soubriquet by which Marcus is known among a favored few in the senior High, is third part owner of the D. W. T. Company and when not in congenial company is always in theirs; hence, when you see one member of the firm you may rest assured that the other two are not far atway. Here we leave him, hoping that the bright sunshine of his happiness may never grow dim, but may go on increasi·ng in warmth and brilliance to the very end of the chapter. 48

parish register of St. Agatha's Church, West Philadelphia, bears testimony T HEto the fact that John LaWirence Bonniwell was baptized in that edifice on

December 19, 1905. His childish years are in a state of oblivion to us and nothing very remarkable took place during his grammar school career; such things as the giving and receiving a few black eyes once in a while; breaking windows; playing truant; tying empty cans to dogs' tails, and meriting the compensation such ordinary deeds entail, seem to be a part of every boy's early training; judging fro:m information that we procured, it doesn't. matter how, our "Bonnie" was well trained. Bonnie, as he is known among us, is always pleasant and agreeable and is fairly bubbling over with good humor; his smile works like magic in banishing gloom, should that dismal character ·ever gain admittance to the sacred precincts of the Senior High. John's work on the basketball team, of which he was captain, is too well known to need publication here. As half-back on the football squad, he played a splendid article of ball in each contest, and saved the team from many humiliating defeats. Many presidents of colleges and principals of high schools frown upon athletics and reluctantly tolerate them as a necessary evil; they maintain that good athletes make poor students. We are glad to say that if the schools and colleges in question were attended by students of the John Bonniwell type, they would have no grounds for their assertion. He combined work and play in suitable proportions, so as to make the one serve as a stimulus to the other, so that instead of working at variance they worked in conjunction. John has the best wishes of the class for a most successful career. 49

Of all the days that 's in the week I dearly love but one day, And that's the day that comes betwixt A Saturday and Monday. -Henry Carey.

ALTHOUGH this young man has seldom participated in athletic enterprises or elocution contests, nevertheless, he has always been very active in the affairs of the high school. A warmer rooter or a stauncher champion of her rights than Raymond P. Fearon can not be found within the city's limits and this no idle praise. "Ray" received his preliminary training at the Gesu school, where he had for instructors good Religious who readily perceived the sterling worth of the boy and laid the foundations upon JWhich he bas builded well during his sojourn at La Salle Prep. R aymond is a. great lover of books and is well posted as to the literary value of the latest publications; he has arranged the page of Book Titles that appears in another part of the "Annual," we are S1Jre the perusal of said page will prove both interesting and instructive. During all the time that we have known Ray he has always been a quiet, gentlemanly student, who minded his own business, worked diligently and can look back with pride to his high school days. His painstaking efforts and earnest application were an Âˇ inspiration and encouragement to all of us and we shall always cherish grateful remembrances of one of the best of good fellows . Raymond has not yet decided to what sphere of activity he will devote his futur.e career, but of this we know, he will grace any profession; when some years hence La Salle Prep looks over the list of her honored graduates who have made ''good" we'll find Raymond P . Fearon's name among the very first on that list.

f OUR years ago Edward T. Quinn knocked at the high school department; his slight stature belied his great pretensions and he was asked to present credentials in support of his claim. "My certificate of scholarship," he replied, "is in my head and I'll bet my socks against a Canadian dime that I can produce the goods." After a brief but searching examination, the small boy was conducted to the class that, we have every reason to believe, will reflect more credit on its Alma Mater than any of its predecessors have done. Insofar as studies are concerned "Eddie" has acquitted himself in a manner that leaves little to be deshl:ed. For example, Trigonometry seems to be the "bug bear" of high school students, yet "Eddie" says, "It's just as easy to me as taking candy off the baby." We did no~ kn01W that he had had any experience of getting candy in this way, until un fortunately for his own peace of mind he " let the cat out of the bag." Besides getting the trig via Brother Eliphus and the candy v1a the baby "Eddie" is quite proficient in the gentle art of self defense. His intention, he told us, in learning how to use his fists to the best advantage was not that he might become a ring performer, but that he would be able to prevent any one from disputing his right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Quinnie's kindly wit and keen sense of humor together with sunny disposition made him the bright star of the class when all other lights were extinguished. Take him all in all "Eddie" is the prince of good fellows and his performances, humorous and otherwise, will always be fondly cherished as lon g as the memories of the class of '23 shall linger.

The purest treasure mortal times afford, Is spotless reputation; that away, Men are but gilded loam or painted clay. -Othello.

11, 1906, John J. Tully took up his residence for the first ti:rne ONat Jovember 1415 North Second Street and, with the exception of a short time at boarding school, has lived there ever since. John made his elementary studies at St. Michael's Parochial school and Merion Academy, then he came to La Salle high school, joining us in the second high. "Treasure Island" was one of our English classics that year and John was so thrilled by the account of the adventures of Jim Hawkins that he conceived the idea of running off to sea and becoming a pirate. He started out on his enterprise and all went well until he slipped on a piece of soap-and woke up. Whether he dreamed this, or that it was simply an affair of the imagination, or that it really happened, we are unable to find out; John tells it once a month or so; but never 'gives the details as to what happened after that. From the first day that John cast his lot with the class of Twenty-three, he has taken a lively interest in his studi·es and in everything that had for ·its objective the good of the school or the welfare of the neighbor. Selfishness is a word not found in John's vocabulary; he is ever willing to share his fund of information or his bag of peanuts with companions who may desire one or the other or both. John's unvarying good humor; his gay optimism, and contagious laugh have been quite effective in pouring oil on troubled waters in bad weather.-Pardon the mixed metaphor. There are many other nice things that we would like to say about the subject of this sketch, but lack of space compels us to desist. John has been an example of industry and regularity since he came to La Salle and we are proud to have him an honorable member of the class '23.

HEN I undertook to write the prophecy of the Class of '23, little did I realize what a delicate and difficult task I had undertaken. It bothered me for days and just how or when the veil of the future was going to be lifted in order that coming events might be shown to my gaze, I knew not. Discouraged, I was about to relinquish my self-appointed task when Lady Luck guided my steps to the very spot where the key to the whole situation lay. To begin from the beginning of my adventure, last Saturday afternoon, I took a walk and the way led me to Ninth and Forest Streets and on the corner stood a small booth, painted red and bearing in white letters the single inscription: "Fortunes Told, 25c." I lost no time in making my way to the booth; paying the stipulated sum and entering the apartment of the fortune teller. After she had told me several things that were to happen in my own life, to which I paid no attention · for I was thinking of something else, I said to her, "Mother"-these old frauds like to be addressed as such, it makes them think that we are bigger fools--than we really are. "Mother, could you let me look into the future lives of some of my classmates?" "A child!" she replied, "it is not given to us to look into the future of the absent." I perceived her meaning, at once, so I put a couple of dollars in her hand and told her how important the information which I sought, was to me. She arose and drawing a curtain aside made me' a sign to follow her. We entered what appeared to be an el-evator and the door behind us had no sooner closed than we began to move rapidly; the speed became terriffic

and the noise was deafening-when, all of a sudden, I found myself ascending an elevator shaft in a large apartment house; the carriage stopped and the teller of fortunes bade me step out, which I did and found myself in a neatly furnished lawyer's office, I looked around to see if my companion was fo llowing me, but , to my astonishment, there was neither trace of door nor elevator shaft in the blank wall. I was still more amazed to read on the door opposite me my own name: "Samuel B. Brenner, Attorney-at-Law, New York." A b ~ve t he folding top desk, hung a large calendar, gotten out by the Charles C. Flynn Co., and bearing the date 1940. Nothing seemed to surprise me after that. The office boy knocked at the door and announced that my private airplane awaited at the front door if I wished to go out. On descending to the street floor, the birdman saluted and inquired, "Where, Sir?" Stepping into the machine I replied, "Philadelphia." Leaning back in my seat, I lit a cigarette and had scarcely finished it when t he airplane stopped, I shouted through the speaking tube, "Wh at's the matter?" "Philadelphia," was th e laconic reply. I alighted from th e airplane and entered the Franklin Hotel. After registering I saw a crowd gath ered about a huge counter which had a selected display of radios on one side and photographs of airplanes on the other. Two gentlemen were explaining the various parts. The counter acted like a magnet and I was soon amongst the crowd, when the "show" was over, cards were passed around on which was printed "The Progressive Engineering Co.," and OQ the left hand corner "Gerard E. Runte, PrÂˇes. ; James D. Rufe, Vice Pres. ; John F. O'Connor, Secretary and Treasurer." The following morning the newspaper informed me that Congressmen John L. Bonniwell and James J . Sullivan were visiting friends in town and that Juleus J . Sullivan, Mayor of Philadelphia, would preside that night at La Salle commencement, and William H. Long, District Attorney, would address the graduates. Another page announced the opening of the Industrial Exposition in the 13th Regiment Armory. I visited the armory and found that several of my own classmates were mounting the ladder of success in the industrial world. James Slane, John Taggart, William Commiskey were in "the candy, clothing and sh~e business respectively. As I was going out, someone shouted "Hello, Sam!" I turned to see who ,was getting so familiar and beheld the outstretched hand of "Eddie" Quinn, who was no longer a little fellow, when the usual greetings were over, "Eddie" said "Come and have a chat." We sat down and the following is the substance of his remarks: Prof. Joseph Pescatore was leader of the orchestra in the Hippodrome, N. Y. "Charley" Flynn and Marcus Dougherty were in the real estate business in Atlantic City. Dr. "Ignatz" McCormick was chief of staff at the St. Mary's Hospital and Dr. John Giblin his first assistant. Joseph Haas, Esq., was assistant district attorney, John O'Neill was principal of the Fairmount High School and John Magosin was professor of music, and organist in the new Cathedral. John Tully and "Dick" Graham were partners in the theatre business. "Andy" Ward, hotel proprietor, owner and manager of the Athletics. Francis McCusker, bank director and editor of th e Women's Home Journal and Victor J . Voss, Ph . D. , American Ambassador at th e court of St. James. When Quinn stopped. I said , "How about Fearon?" Quinn smiled and pointing to the window told me to look across the street. I did so and beheld on the elec54

tric sign of the New Tullygram (Tully and Graham), "The Peerless Ray Fearon" in the Five M illion Dollar Production "School Days," when I turned around to ask Quinn some more questions, he had disappeared, but his card lay on the table. I picked up the card and read Dr. Edward T. Quinn, Professor of Modern Languages at the University of Pennsylvania. "Hey there! Wake up!" I heard some one shout and I rubbed my eyes and saw the old lady laughing at me. I gave her another dollar and hastened home to write my impressions before I should forget them. SAMUEL

Class Salvage Novr, let me introduce to you A gallant band-a noble crew; They held their course 'gainst wind and tide Less hardy sailors would have died. The first one bears an honored name, It's Bonniwell of football fame, At basketball he likewise shines, And never over trouble pines. If music sweet you'd care to hear, 'Twill fill your heart with joy and cheer, .T ust listen to the lovely airs That Brenner plays to banish cares.

Cummiskey hails from Germantown; H e'll pay your carfare up and down, If you should like to see the show H e trips a light fantastic toe. Just give your hand to M arcus here, And trust to "Doc" without a fear; For every inch a king is he, And good as gold will ever be. Next, H arold Lloyd's upon the screen, No better actor have I seen; H e'll hold the fans in strong embrace, Till R aymond F earon takes his place. Young Hamlet stalks upon the stage, The greatest product of the age, For Charlie Flynn has ease and art To take the Prince of D enmark's part. Say, here's a boy from out the west Of this old town-you know the rest ; H e'd give his life to save a fri end; On Giblin, sir, you may depend.

Why, Richard Graham keep your seat You look so comely, wise and neat, And it might muss your golden hair If you should rise from off your chair . From J ersey State Haas smiling comes, The late t tune he sweetly hums; H e'll treat you fine, if you should care To cross with him the Delaware. 61

Serene and calm and cool is Long, His voice is low but deep and strong; A word is all he needs to stay The wildest wind that sweeps the bay.

Our Juleus Sullivan tops the line; H is courtesy is superfine, He's gentle, mild and pleasant, too, The kindest boy you ever knew.

A ladies' man without a doubt, And should one turn him inside out, H e'd find McCusker true as gold, And gallant as the knights of old.

But here's a friend you'll gladly meet; H is company is pleasure .sweet; To us the name will e'er be dear Of Sullivan, James from year to year.

McCormick of this ship is mate; In social things he's up-to-date. F rom foreign shores he brought us back ; We soon shall style him D octor M ac.

John Taggart wanders into view; We know the weekly cess is due, And all evade him right along. "P ay up 's" the burden of his song.

Forever more we'll sing his praise, And wish him long and happy days ; No better sailor could there be T han M agosin across the sea.

John Tully sighs and says, "0 my I cannot see the season, why That some have all the fun in life, While others wage a bitter strife."

O'Connor bears an Irish name; I'll bet you'd shortly know the same, If you should raise his temper high ; A million st ars would dot your sky.

Of Victor Voss we've this to say T hat he has been, and that alway, The grandest boy that ever drew The breath of life among the crew.

Now John O'Neill comes smiling in, Sure every one is fond of him; H e would no honest cat annoy, And he's t he teachers' pride and joy.

From "Andy" Ward we're loath to part, H e's found a home in every heÂˇa rt, And there he'll dwell as heretofore, Till time is gone and life is o'er.

Of P escatore we're justly proud; H e'll never do wh at's not allowed, And's loyal to his class and school, No one has seen him break a rule.

So now before we go ashore Your praise La Salle we'll sing once more. With hearts and hopes and spirits shy, We'll say God bless t he SENIOR HIGH. GERARD

Well, Quinn's a handsome little boy, Who never let's his cares annoy His peaceful , calm and comic ways; No odds how hot or cold the days. J ames Rufe is captain of the boat , Which by his guidance kept aflo at Across the seas of four long years ; When every wave was fill ed with fears. Ah ! " Jimmie" Felix Francis Slane, His name in full is nice and plain, The smile he wears is simply grand, H e talks all day t o beat the band. 62

rr,:::;r::~E,

the members of the 1923 Class of the High school department of La Salle College, City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, believing that we are sound in mind (at least some of us), and wishing to make disposition of our effects, personal , real and imaginary, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last Will and Testament. The bulk of our property we relinquish to the Seniors of 1924; but our spirit of loyalty and fidelity to our sc hool and all her interests, we hand down to all t he undergraduates and their successors in La Salle to the crack of doom. We bequeath , to the boy who will have charge of opening and closing the windows, our much abbreviated window-pole. which E'omchow disappeared about six week s ago; but when found should be properly handled. On the treasurer of the class we bestow a good nick el, the aforesaid nickel will be found somewhere around the second radiator, as that is where it was lost. The 1924 class will also receive our comfortable chairs with th eir convenient writing fixtures , that rendered copying during exams impossible. Of course it is understood that no Senior would attempt to copy during exams. Our waste-basket, we also forsake in favor of our worthy successors, with the provision that it be used for no other purpose than that for which it is intended, and not as a receptacle for cigarette stumps and white cards, nor as a hiding place for mislaid property. We also devise th at a talf boy replace John Taggart in taking care of the clock and that he never neglect putting it ten minutes or more ahead before language periods for the shorter the lesson, the less danger there is of getting in trouble. Our lockers we also pass over to the promoted class of which we are sure 64

J. WARD, '23.

As softly falls the shades at night, As gentle as the fading light; Our school life here, Is drawing near The end, and all around is bright.Âˇ The first to start our Lim'ricks out, Is Charles Blackton without doubt; On diamond fair, With manly air, He gives the ball an awful clout. The next to grace t his honored page, I s Joseph Collins wise and sage; H e looks so well, He'd cut a swell, If fat ::! should place him on the stage. This is a babe that's bright and fair, And jaunts along quite debonair; If you should meet Him on the street; Frank Condon's smile is rich and rare. He's sleepy, sly, but tall and slim, Is Jimmie Cummins neat and trim An athlete too, And there are few In all the school can equal him. A quiet, peaceful, gentle boy, Is Francis Duffy, cute and coy; A student fine, In every line; A happy life he'll sure enjoy. Now "Teddy" Fluehr would undertake To bury men for humor's sake; He studies hard. No seer or bard Could half attempt his praise to make. Ah, Charles Gimpel is that you! Tm glad you're 'mong the hon 8red few, Who love their books, Not ladies' looks : Honors bright to thee are due. When "Ferdie" Goetz's form appears, Sorrows fade like passing years; His smile so bright, And laugh so light, Would surely dry a mother's tears.

Tall and fair and comely and A boy who loves his native land; I'm sure you'd go Through frost and snow To see John Gruber's smile so grand.

Joe Mehan's a boy that is known, Good grain in his field to have sown· I'll bet you a dime, ' That when it is time, His crop will be great when it's grown.

Of Henry, "Pat" the saying goes, An athlete from his head to toes A student bright; And heart so light, Combine to banish all his woes.

A faithful, manly student "Pete" Of gentle mien and temp~r swe~t; The best of boys, With perfect poise; No one with Moylan can compete.

But this we'll say of John Herrmann, H e always does the best h e can, He studies well, We all can tell, That in the race he also ran.

We'd back him up through woe and weal, And every heart that t hrobs must feel That we are pr oud, And sing it loud: Our gallant chief is Dan O'Neill.

Now William Huf is just the size To capture looks from ladies ' eyes; He's not too small, Nor yet too tall, But spic and span and truly wise.

And now we sing of Ryan, Paul, Who always comes at duty's call; No words can paint Just what he ain't, Nor what he· is, at all, at all.

A student every inch is he, Our Stephen Kauker gay and free; He's quiet too, '· And I tell you, We're fortunate his friends to be.

Of Walter, George, we're surely proud; Sometimes he talks in class aloud; A noble boy, May he enjoy A life with no shadow or cloud. LUIS RAMIREZ.

With Kohlhepp nothing seems to rhyme; Quite often comes he not on time; He does his best, And that's the test By which we know a boy can climb. ,T he noon-day sun suggests the shades Before the blush that Logue parades; Along the line In rain or shine, Dan's joy, serene and calm, pervades. I think you all know Ed McGurk, Although for lessons he's a Turk; But still we love The foolish dove, He'll never kill himself with work. With a basket as well as a stick, He makes his opponents look sick; All will agree, Take it from me That "Nardy" McLaughlin's a brick. 70

Dizzie Women Lady (alighting from a limousine in front of a bank and speaking hurriedly to the chauffer) : I shan't be a minute, James. (She rushes toward the bank and then changes her mind.) I think I'll get the candy first . (Goes into a candy store next door, and hastens up to a sales girl who is receiving a caller.) Lady: Will you please wait on me? Salesgirl (to her caller): What's the big idea? (to the lady) What is it you want, Madam? Lady : I want some of those long things that look like chocolate but are something else and used to have cream in them, but now they have nu ts or something. Salesgirl: I don't know what you refer to, Madam . (T o her caller. ) Well , she's the limit, I bet if her mot her knew- Lady : Well, give me one of those cute little boxes of gum drops. Th at 's the right change, I think. Salesgirl (taking twenty-five cents from th e lady and t alking to her call er): Money is nothing in her young life, I 'll say. He must be soft all right. Lady (seeing a friend at the lunch counter hurries over to her ) : Why Cynthia , you darling. How good that looks I believe I'll have one, too-I'm not supposed to eat between meals but I've got such a lot before me today-! think that make' a difference, don't you? (Gets a check from the ca ~hier, and orders a hot chocolate.) How do you like my new hat, dear? Cynthia: It's too sweet. Lady: I love the whipped cream on top. Cynthia: It's a nice shape. Lady: It was marked down. I never knew anything so hot, or I shouldn't have got it. Well I must go now. I haven't done a thing this morning; we had breakfast late, and we're having an early luncheon. I'm going to W a ~;;hington at two. Good-by darling. (As she goes into the bank she calls out to the chauffer, who has been around three time .) I shan't be a minut,e. (She runs into the bank and bumps into a young girl in a leopard skin coat.) Why , Sally! How nice you look. I didn't know you. When did you get back? I've only got. a minute. (They retire to a window seat and have a hat to hat talk for twenty mmutes.) Girl in the L eopard Coat: When we have time we'll talk it over. Lady: Well it's good to see you if only for a minute, dear. I'm rather busy this morning. I'm going to Washington at two, you see. Maisie left her pearl necklace with me when she went to have her appendix out, it's really very handsome, and very valuable. Girl in the L eopard Coat: I didn't know she had it out. Lady: Yes she wore it at your dinner, and I want to get it put safely away before I go to Washington. If you like to wait, I've got only to drop the little package in the safe deposit box, and I can drop you anywhere you like; I shan't be a minute. Girl in the L eopard Coat: I'm afraid I can 't wait th at long. Lady: Well, goodby, dear. (Looking at the clock.) Mercy, is it that late.

(To a clerk.) fast.

I suppose that clock is right?

I never knew anything to go so

Clerk: I think it's going all right, Madam. ,. Lady: Oh,! meant the morning.

(Goes to a desk and writes out a check.)

V\ Ill you cash t11!S please? It must be the fifth today.

Clerk: Oh, really. Lady: Well Monday was the first wasn't it? Clrrk: Oh, the date Madam? Yes. Lady: I wish you would give me some small change, please. I'm going to Washington it's so handy. Clerk: It looks like snow, shall you have enough? Lady : It just melts away, when you're t raveling. Clerk : The heat of the engine of course- . Lady : . I never can have enough of it, thank you. (She stuff the money mto her wnst ~ag and goes quickly down to the saf e deposit vaults-rushing thro~gh the vanous gates.) I'll just open my box right here, please. I shan't be ~ mm~tc.

Juni(())r liliigh Sch(())(())R CRass history of the class of '24 forms quite a considerable part of the history of our school. Misquoting our friend Shakespeare: We have Âˇnot been born great; neith er has greatness been thrust upon us; but we feel that we have achieved greatness. From the first day of our Freshman year, it could be easily seen, that we were one in mind and heart and were bent on acquiring that spirit of loyalty to ourselves, for charity begins at home, and to our school which i~ so necessary in order to attain success in our studies. One of the first feelings at the beginning of this, our third year, was one of regret at the transfer of our much esteemed teacher Brother Leonard, who was so highly respected and honored by the whole class; but every cloud has a silver lining, our new teacher, Brother Norbert, has proved a worthy successor of our teacher of last year. We have had also for teachers th is past year Brother Charles and Doctor E. D oernenburg. On September thirteenth, t he date of our first class meeting, J ohn McCarney and J ames Carville were nominated fo r the presidency; but the former declined the nomination, so the latter was elected. Alber t F ratus was chosen for ViceP resident, William Gutekun st, Secretary, and J . Clifford Lenahan, T reasurer. It was during this year t hat we began to make ourselves felt in t he athletic activities of ~1e school, as may be seen from the list of par ticipants on the football, baseball, basketball, and track teams. We were almost forgetting the class basketball team which furnished such hair-raising contests on the gymnasium court, and which promises wonderful things for next year. It is our intent ion, therefore, to "keep t he ball rolling," so to speak , along athletic lines, while at the same ti'm e keeping in mind the purpose for which we are here, viz; t o fi t ourselves for life with all its possibilit ies. In conclusion, we wish to express our sin cere thanks and appreciation t o the present seniors for the example they have left us of exempl ary conduct and nobility of character ; it will be to us a guiding light directing our way t o higher principles and noble aspirations. We hope, t hen, that each and every one of the class of twenty-t hree may at tain a degree of success beyond his most sanguine expec,ta tions. D u FFY- S H ERIDAN - DoYLE.

HE class of 1925 came into being on September 11th, 1921 when forty . noble youths were organized as a party of mountain climbers to bear the colors of La Salle to "Mount Success;" the highest peak of Secondary Education Range. Brother Declan was the kind and considerate guide who was destined to conduct us through ,the pleasures and perils and all the vicissitudes of the first stage of this precarious ascent. Though the path was not steep at first, since we were new to the task some of us lost our grip on the staves and chains of study and attention and so slipped into the chasm of "Indifference and N eglect;" the majority, however, were on hand when the party re-assembled after a three months' rest on "Vacation Plateau." Brother M aurice now directed our progress and was ably assisted by Brother Nor bert and D octor Doernenburg ; the former helped us while we were passing through the pleasant but dangerous woods of Biology, and the latter defended us against t he horrible monsters of French and Spanish. As traveling was difficult, we took advantage of all the level placEs in order to recreate ourselves . We form ed class teams for football, basketball and baseball; those representing the class on the different teams made records of which we can well be proud. M essrs. D awson, Minnick, Freney, F arrell, Phelan, Lynaugh, Kelly, M cGuire and McGrath formed the delegation, that we sent to help the 'varsity over the rough places of football, baseball, basketball and track. Midway up the a second Ridge," we had a sharp encounter with the Exams; however, we came through successfully, but we have some ugly scars and deep gashes of low averages to remind us of that terrible conflict. When we reached this stage in our ascent, our valiant leader, Brother Maurice, showed signs of fatigue owing to his incessant labors in keeping us to the firm and beaten path. Then Brother Nicholas arrived to help him and came just in time to save us from an avalanche of Geometry . We have continued to climb onward and upward deriving much encouragement from the sight of our goal in the distance "Success," and the knowledge th at we will soon reach the "Second Plateau. "

CLASS HISTORIAN.

N September 11, 1922, the Junior Class of the Business Department was organized under the supervision of Brother D. Raphael. At the first regular class meeting, which was held a few days later, officers were elected as follows:WILLIAM H. BINN~, JR., President. EDWARD J. NICHOLSON, Vice President. WALTER P. PIDGEON, Recording Secretary. JosEPH F. KELLY, Financial Secretary. EDWIN F. CrussY, T1reasurer. EDWARD J. HAUSER, Historian. JosEPH F. CusANO, Class Editor.

The Class adopted as· its motto the suggestive little sentence, "Make it Snappy." " Green and White" was the color combination unanimously chosen as distinctive of the department. " There's a Silver Lining" (with many variations) was the general choice for a Class Song. A good class spirit prevailed and affairs 1ran along very smoothly and happily until the Christmas holiday s. On our return to school we were much disappointed and sorry to discover that our good natured and jovial Brother D. Raphael, had been transferred to another field of endeavor. His successor, Brother F. James, seemed to inject new life and spiJr·i t into the class and soon we felt we were "doing things." Though the standard set seemed high, every member of the class responded generously and tried to measure up to what was expected of him, and I think we can say, in all truth, that the Commercial Class of 1924 will be one of the best, if not the best, business class ever graduated from La Salle.

N December 27th last the entire world united in celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of the life of Louis Pasteur, a man who has done more for suffering humanity than any other man has done since or before his day. This scientific idealist, distinguished Frenchman, renowned for his achievements in chemistry and microscopic biology, revolutionized the art of surgery and so applied science to the reduction of human ~ufferin g and the promotion of human welfare as to earn the gratitude of uncounted millions of his fellow beings. Though not of noble parentage he came into this world fitted for his work by gentle birth, but with nothing from the past which could have en_abled the keenest eugenists to predict his dazzling rise to honor and fame.

The basket ball team which represented the class consisted of James "Toots" Cauley, Harry J. Klohoker, Alfred A. Kassimer, John S. Kalbach, James F. Scott, John D. Rourk,e and Frank P. Malone. They made an excellent shawing and bid fair to be strong contenders for places on the 'Varsity Squad of '24. The class also furnished some of the very best material for the track team, where we find the names of Binns, a clev.er distance runner; Cauley, a dash man; Pidgeon, a middle distance stepper; Scott, inscribed on the shot-put list. EDWARD J. HAUSER.

There was, of course, no "chill penury" in Pasteur's case for he had the advantage of a good education; the bent of his mind was toward scientific studies from the beginning and to the end, even under the stress of partial collapse he was enabled to follow it. At first we see him dipping down into the atoms and molecules for their secrets "like a luminous trail," as Renan phrased it, "in the great night of the infinitely little in those ultimate abysses of being where life is born." Then as Dean oÂŁ the faculty of sciences at Lille, Pasteur took life itself for his field, and proved beyond dispute that fermentation is due to bacteria. Out of hi investigations he banished for ever the old theory of "spontaneous generation," and introduced the pasteurizing process which has since been applied to milk, c,ream and other perishable food materials. But Pasteur's signal and most spectacular triumph was the outcome of his study of hydrophobia and of his introduction of a method of preventing rabies. To him modern vaccination and antiseptics both look back. His researches deprived surgery of its terror and transformed the treatment of wounds from a matter of uncertain and too often disastrous empiricism into the scientific art of sure beneficence. The great Frenchman was an optimist in everything he undertook, never allowing himself to become depressed. When an examiner, dealing with his appli~ cation for admission to the Ecole Normale, marked him down as "decidedly mediocre" in chemistry, he pushed on to achievements even in that field. "These thr-ee things, will, work and success," Pasteur wrote once to hi sister, "make up the sum of human existence, for will opens the gate to brilliant and happy careers, work makes the passage possible, and once that you arrive at the end of your journey success crowns the effort." That success followed a the reward of will and work in this case we have alr-e ady seen that it was generously, even lavishly acknowledged made the discoverer's crown all the more precious to him. He was called to many honorary memberships and numerous were the honors conferred upon him; but the testimKmial nearest to his own heart was tha,t given in 1888 by the opening of the Pasteur Institute for anti-rabies innoculation, made possible by world wide contributions. Professor Arthur Thompson wrote of Pasteur "that with object lessons on a grand scale he convinced every open mind that the days of folded hands and resignation were over and that it was man, with science as torch and with mercy in his heart, to enter courageously 81

into the fuller possession of his kingdom." All through his career Pasteur remained a devout Roman Catholic, seeing nothing in the opposition of critics or cliques to shake the faith he had in human nature. On a firm foundation of imperturable faith this great scientific genius raised up an edifice of acquisitions to science such as it never before has been given to man to make. Pasteur is a striking example of the fact which has been so often noted, that a great original scientist, who himself make discoveries and broadens the knowledge of mankind, has no trouble as a rule between his science and his faith. He knows how little he knows and bow much there i to know that we do not know. While the secondary scientist who merely writes and teaches what other men have discovered, has only a little bucket of a mind and when he gets a great deal of science into that there is no room for anything else. The great scientist has plenty of room for science and an abounding faith. JAMES

fin ished the grammar-school at St. Peter's school, Fifth St. and Girard Avenue, a friend of mine suggested that I begin my high school course at La Salle; accordingly, a few days after studies had been resumed at t hat educational structure (as they say in Washington), I wended my way thither, and after Brother Lucian, the President , had asked me a few questions a to my scholarship and my former time of servitude, he conducted me to what is known as the F irst H igh "A" and introduced me to the teacher, Brother G. John, who seemed particularly pleased to see me and bade me sit down in a fro nt seat beside a boy who wore glasses. This young man asked me if I could play basketball and informed me t hat he was center on the clas team-here a look from the teacher prevented furt her remarks. I learned later th at my desk companion was Stringer. Another boy, his fa ce covered with smiles, returning from the blackboard, dropped part of a radio set and two tickets for the Blue Bird theatre. "Bernlohr !" said the Brother, "there's a waste basket in th e room." Just th en the door opened and a small boy came in late and Stringer whispered : "Scannell- soft-seat--seller-Saturdays." The bell now rang for recess and we went t o t he yard, where a pretty goodlooking boy put ting away his small looking-glass and powder puff an d coming up to me, offered his hand saying, " I 'm K ennedy; would you like to kn ow t he fellows?" I replied in th e ruffirmative, so he said, " Listen! t hat tall boy with the light green socks is Toner , he came out am,ong the fir st in t he preliminary elocution contest. Those two wrestling in th e ash-barrel are Tully and Guthrie, nice fellows and well behaved in class. The lad dancing behind the auto is Belcher, he's a comical genius. The fat fellow making faces and grinning all t he time is M cP arl and , he t hinks himself funny, but nobody else does. J ohn Lit tle, alias 'P equeno,' t he kid with t he red hair is a great 'time killer,' you'll hear t he story lat er. Standin g at Brady's lunch coun ter are : William Bradl ey, of Lansdowne, a great student; P aul H ertrich, slow but sure; Thomas Cunnin.gh am, a crackerjack at baseball and basketball, and the red-headed one, eating t he pie, is M agee, t hey say that he is a wonderful pool player. Thi is Milone, the class president, coming towards us, he takes great interest in all class affairs, and is qui te popular with his classmates. That 's Donnelly standing on th e school st eps, a quiet lad, who t akes his 'daily dozen.' The boy talking to Donnelly is O'Donoghue, who laughs at everything. The two th at chased each other into t he basement just now are Blackton and Bonner, both fine students and full of h armless fun. Brown is over at t he gym door, telling a story to Phalan. Brown is our t reasurer and no matter how often you meet him he'll say, " You owe me fifty cents." Ph alan is an exceptionally bright student and a good athlete. The chap sharpening his pencil at the corner of t he building is Rodgers, he and Scannell are great 'P als !' The boy swinging on t he gate is Curry, he shaves only one side of his face. That was 'M ary' who carne down last, she's a great musician and painter ; t he boy t hat threw half of his huckl eberry pie at her is Volk- Frank is a very nice kid but he'll bear watchin g. H ello, th ere's Rice coming out of the office, he has a note of excuse for being absent .'' H ere t he bell rang and K enn edy says "shucks," 84

and made n diYc for the lunch-room. Later, I gradually learned the namct: of the boys in the Freshman "B" which \\'Hs taught by Brother Philip. They arc: Brennan, Thierry, D'Ago~tino, Mullarkey, Franz, 0\Yens, McGlinchey, Phelan. Kennedy, Creedon, l\1eredith, Hogan, Mo:::s, Scott, Collins, O'Brien, Quingcrt McKenney, Silvasi, Britt, Crotty, Heidrich and Quinn. After associating with my newly found companions for a time, I percei\'cd them to be very agreeable and helpful; we had plenty of fun and at the same time we did a great deal of study. Brother G. John, who taught us most of the branches, took a great interest in athletics and the result appears on another page of this book. We all hope that our teacher will accompany us to the Second High next year. MATTHIAS TAUGNER .

Baslket1baH F reslb.m.an High RE Freshman High covered itself with glory during the past court season by winning eleven games out of fifteen. The team wa s chosen out of the two divisions of the Freshman class and although light the five was speedy and this fe ature plus team work accounted for its great succes . Stringer wa s the pivot man, who usually got the tip-off, and his speed enabled him to break up many of his opponents' form ations. Captain Cunningham and Creedon , our fl eet forwards always played a bang-up game; the form er was a dead shot fr om th e court and the latter helped materially in winning many a game by his splendid tossing from th e penalty line. Scott and Toner were the guards and handl ed th emselves well. Blacl<.ton , our diminutive star , wa fr equently rushed into th e fr ay and many apparent defeats were turned into victories by hi stellar performances. Other members of the team, who did good work when call ed upon from time to time, were : Collins, Franz, O'Donoghoe, Mullarkey and Brennan.

LEONARD GUTHRIE.

A South Sea Tale HAD been the first visitor at Vale's plantation for a period of fourteen months, con equently Vale was quite flustered. The little cerrogated iron house wa:3 entirely clean, fresh palm leaves were strewn upon the guest bed rw.d :1 t. tll glass cuilLainmg an ice cold mint julep placed upon the veranda table. All these thinge had been performed from the time that Vale first saw the company steamer lying off his little South Sea Island until my beach canoe grated upon the coarse coral sand of the shore and I leapt out to slap him upon his one and only arm and answer the numerous que5tions put to me concerning the news of the outside world. Together we wal:Ked down the path which led from the coast line to the plantation. About twenty yards from the landing the sa nd stretch stopped and the bordering trees of the cocoanut farm began. These great sentinels, gnarled and scarred by the pervadin g trade winds, were loa ded down with a bount iful array of fruit . H ere and th ere lay an uprooted monarch mutely t elling the t ale of past hurricanes. B ob Vale, the same old carefr ee B ob, his happy mien suddenly changing to one of seriousne:::s, turned t o me: "Edgar, my fri end, I am afraid you have come at a bad time, the natives are up in t he air about a crooked deal pulled over on th em by a renegade black birder ; they have his hea d and are on the verge of a general war against us planters." At th at time I was young and adventurous and my heart skipped a beat at the poosibility of a chance to serve my old friend in the repulsion of any such ou tbreak. I replied: "Bob, if I had known before hand of this danger I would have come all th e more quiokly t o th e help of my old buddy. " Flashing a grateful look toward me he continued: "However, it's high time th e government warship was arriving and these beggars won't trifle with so formidable an enemy." Th en he passe d into a sort of reverie, silently striding beside me and blankly staring into the maze of forest. We passed through the aisle of palm trees and came to an open space carpeted in ri ch grass, in the center of which stood a squat house ,Âˇ back of which , beginning half a square from the rear stoop, lay a great wall of impenetrable undergrowth, th e cool green foli age forming a background for the exquisite, variegated orchids which grew in profusion. We reached the porch and seated ourselves under the welcome awning. Quickly th e contents of the tall glasses disappeared. Vale clapped his hands and the house-boy answered his summons : "You fella boy, bring along two fella k ai-kai (food ) and two fella more drinks." H aving finished our dinner we sipped th e last precious drops of the second juleps and lighted our cigars to settle back in the comfortable steamer chairs and watch th e tropical sun , a great blood red orb dip itself into "the black waters of the lagoon, with th at quickness that i peculi ar to equatorial sunsets. Little did we know th at within a few hours t he very floor under our feet would be stained as red as that receding ball of fire. For a moment the vivid green of the bordering jungle lay bathed in a purplish twilight, then darkness fell and the denizens of th e forest began their incongruous how lings, screeching, moanings, and buzzings.

We had been half dozing until about the hour of midnight when Vale quickly straightened in his chair, held one hand to his ear and reaching out his artificial arm, tapped my shoulder. Straining my unaccustomed hearing and peering out into the dank blackness I could faintly hear above the droning of the insects a weird booming ; rhythmica lly slow. With a terrible presentiment clutc!Jing my very heart strings I turncc my gaze to my friend Vale who murmured in a suppressed whisper: "War drum..' Suddenly the far away island drums stopped-a few seconds-a trifle more loudly it was taken up-another pause; suspense-a loud booming sounded terrifyingly near ue, rolling through the aisles of trees and echoing in the swamps of our own island. Vaie held hi s fingers to his lips, listened for a few moments then jumped to his feet, rushed into the house, emerged, and blew three piercing blasts from a silver whistle. Turning to me he explained that a msssage of war had been relayed from one island .to another terminating at our own, which signifi ed thai the attack would be launched against us. In answer to the whistle five negro servants joined us and we bolted the shutters and entering the house, locked the door. Vale broke open a great chest and handed to each of us a rifle, revolver and heavy bush knife. T hus armed we waited fo r about an hour when suddenly there appeared n hideous grinning face t hrough the lattice, Vale's revolver crashed and the painted thing disappeared. Then fo llowed p andemonium. I could not describe the hectic scene t hat was enacted before my eyes, and in wh ich I took active pnrt. F leeting glimpses of ebon forms, fli ck ering poison darts, spears, arrows, flying tomahawk s yells of victory and screams of pain. I can fa intly remember myself savagelJ yelling wh en t he crack of my rifle was followed by an anguished death howl Th e scene of the death of our own boys shall never be blotted from my memory I can now picture Vale, smoking gun in hand , bandaged and powder stained face, peering through the vents and picking off one devil after another. Towards t he hour of three o'clock t he fighting cont inued, t hen abruptly it stopped, and t he bushmen retreated t o rest until dawn wh en t hey would no doubt renew t heir onslaught. It was only a matter of an hour or so and all would be over, for we had bu t a hand-full of cartridges left. Vale retired to a corner and .sa:t pondering unt il a few minutes before sunrise. Th en he arose and taking off his wooden arm, he fast ened inside a stick of dynamite, set a fuse t o it and instructed me to k eep his faithful boys from spoiling his pl an. Then he set the fuse for fiv e minu te,, refastening the arm and to my amazement flun g open the door and fully exposing his body, he walked down t he path directly toward t he jungle unt il within a few rods of its edge. A giant warrior stepped out and raised his spear, Vale boldly ~ar an gucd him and the surprised black dropp ed his weap on. I gazed, awe stri ck en. Wh a t a man! There he stood alone amongst a forest of enemies with a t imed stick of dynamite in his hollow arm. One by one t he savages stepped ou t, gradually milling about him . Vale opened his shir t and fumbling with the straps, unhook ed his arm, grasped it in his hand and with a pi ercing shout flun g it into the mid t of the knot of t hreatening men. A fl ash; a concussion; fly ing members and debris, followed by a panicky retreat into the steaming undergrowth, each flying bushman jostling t he other in his fr ant ic effort to flee from t his t errible white god who couTd actually throw his arm and blow them ,to at oms. w.

SENIOR HIGH CAPTAINS , 1923

W. Long, Football; J. Bonniwell, Basketball ; A. Ward, Baseball; J. Taggart, Track.

HE football season was brief in duration nevertheless when conditions are studied it was a period of success . La Salle opened the ~cason with but three regulars from last year's strong aggregation. But we did not lose heart and the well known Bill Long was elected Captain; with Dawson, McCormick and Long as a nucleus a wonderful defensive eleven wa developed. Then Giblin, the renowned West Catholic tackle, took up his studies at La Salle and with these four stalwarts side by side there surely was a wall of defense. The backfield though light was very fast and fought heartily through all the battles. Under the tutelage of Phil Barry, the greatest end ever developed at Penn State, a snappy eleven was <founded out. Our first game was with Swarthmore Prep. It was a terrific conflict and the final result showed La Salle on the last minute defeat of 3-0 score. Our next game was with the South Jersey Chaiffipions, Woodbury, and the boys m ade a splendid defen sive record by holding their heavier opponents to a 0-0 scor e. The following week La Salle journeyed to Chester, and received the jolt of the season , 6-3; but it was a defeat that did the boys more good than harm becau se the following week much to the surprise of the sporting dope, La Salle held Hammonton, challengers of the West, to a 12-6 score, a feat which brought the boys to a high degree of enthusiasm . Judge Eugene C. Bonniwell was among the well pleased spectators at this rough game. Now came a very exciting contest with Brown Prep, both teams being well primed and it ended in a 7-7 deadlock, Dawson cra shing tJwenty yfurds off tackle for a touchdown, and Hughes, of Brown, intercepted a forward pass for the other count . Harrisburg Tech boys were not in our class and they simply overwhelmed us; we thought we would die of joy when we made a touchdown against them . Last but not least came the P. I. D. game, and after our terrible battle with Harri sburg, we were crippled very much and we lost the final tilt 7-0. We did not have a large number of victories to our credit but we completed a very successful season because we held up the reputation of the College, and also we formed a great number of future stars which will keep Old La Salle in the limelight of sports.

ASKE TBALL practice for t he season just past was begun in D ecember. A large number of aspirants appeared for t he first practice; but among t his number only a few knew anything about the game, t he others being ambitious fellows who wanted to help t heir school. . After a few weeks t he temporary coach, Charles Toomey, eliminated many of t he men and kept a squad of ten or twelve. These he t ried to develop into champions if possible. When Coach Alvard Vocglein took charge, although handicapped by much green material, he put all his efforts into putting a few games on the winning side of th e column ; this put new heart into the squad and th ey developed a. fighting spirit that never stopped in any ga1me till the whistle blew. Mr. Voeglein was well liked by the students and they learned rapidly under his t utelage. H e gave particular attention to t hose t rying out for the fi rst time with a view to t he building up of next year's team. And it is very evident t hat t he prospects for next year are very brillant and to all indications La Salle will have the best team that ever represented the Blue and Gold. All honor is due to Mr. V oeglein.

J o HN L. BoNNIWELL, Captain and Guard. The selection of John Bonniwell as leader of the quintet was n, very wise move; no more competent guide could be chosen. H e is not only an efficient captain , but, he is also rated as one oÂŁ t he best guards in scholastic basketball in this section. only four field goals having been scored on him during t he entire season. His basket shooting also deserves high commendation. Jor-u< V. TAGGART, Center an d GumÂˇd. The ga mes in which J ohn played generally came to a finish wi th La Salle on the lpng end of t he score. H e was always making t rouble for th e opposing team, either by putting himself in the way of th eir "sure shots," sureness on t he t ip-off and excellent free throws. The posit ion as a guard he put up a very defensive game.

Forward. D an proved himself to be a very creditabl e performer. His speed and fighting quali ties gave his opposing forwards very few open shots at t he basket. H e is a very hard worker, he led the team in field goals and did splendid work at th e penalty line. DANIEL O 'NEILL,

Guard. La Salle was represented by one of the best guards in the city durin g the season. Jack was alway s on hand to k eep his opponent from scoring and more than one of his opponents missed the basket on account of him. Besides being a timely guard , J ack was also a good shot and scored many points for his team. When next year's team is organized, it will be a sure thing to put our money on Jack. JoHN TIERNEY,

Center. "Jim" was an astounding performer. His fast floor work and fighting spirit was a pu zzle to his opponents and made them work for dear life. H e is also an experienced player and knows the game well. H e was a wonder on the defense, on the offense his knowledge of the game stood well to him and his bask et shooting was good. JAMES CARVILLE,

Forward. Though it was " L arry's" first year on the varsity team he showed his ability as a forwa rd. His footwork could hardly be beaten and his clever passing was a real treat for the fans, and when it came to defense work 11e just coaxed the other fellow into losing t he ball. His coolness, experience and ability will m ake him t he backbone of t he 1924 bask etball t eam . His presence in t he game was a lways felt by his m at es, as well as by his opponents, who regarded him as a dangerous man.

JoHN MAGUIRE,

JuLEUS SuLLIVAN, Manag er. Dr. Franklin says in hi's Poor R~chmrd's ALmanac, "A master will do more work with his head than his servant will do with both his hands." We might substitute manager for master in the above and team for servant and then we'd have the philosophy of the thing in a nutshell. It would be rather difficult to find a more capable manager than Juleus Sullivan. He showed the boys every consideration and gave them all the opportunities necessary to prove their worth. He was generous in victory and never cast down in defeat and he trained the team along the same lines. The team may forget their victories and defeats , but they cannot forget the kindly encouragement. and prudent advice of their manager. The other players who did good work on the team in the way of practice and substituting were : "Jack" Giblin, "Bill" Gutekunst, "Jack'' McGrath, and "Bill" Scanlon.

FTER the candidates were sorted out the election fm captaincy took place among last year's Letter Men, and Andrew Ward, '23, was selected as the pilot for the 1923 nine. Coach Joe Dougherty returned to his old post a little later than usual, but with his advent every boy was on his toes for the coveted place on the Varsity Nine. Those picked to represent the Blue and Gold against Penna Fresh were : Henry, catcher; McGoldrick, pitcher; McLaughlin, first base; Ward, se.cond base; Gilligan; shortstop; Cummins, third base; McGuire, left field; Gallagher, center field; Morris, right field. The game was bitterly, contested and La Salle came out on the short end of a 9-4 score. Errors in the fourth accounted for six of the runs tallied by the Freshmen; they were helpless before M cGoldrick's curves. The game tested our mettle and we knew where we stood. The following week La Salle traveled to P ennsburg, P a., where we met the strong P erkiomen School nine, that has played t he best teams in the State and has not tasted defeat in two years. Charlie Landherr was the star of this contest, striking out sixteen men and allowing only a few scattered hits during the six innings that the game lasted. Our next game, with Chestnut Hill Academy , was a real slugging match. La Salle pounded the Chestnut Hill pitcher all over the lot, while the boys from the Hill could not see the slants of Landherr. The feature of the game was a home run by Charlie Morris with the bases loaded. With a four run lead, La Salle was going along as it pleased, when in the eighth inning Chestnut Hill staged a brilliant r ally and took the garme to herself. One week later La Salle boarded the w ttlers and disembarked at Villanova, to engage the Prep. in our annual game, which went fine until the third inning, when the heavens opened and the rain came down like Niagara F'alls, Villanova had four runs, but the game did not count. On April 30th, La Salle met St. Joseph's Prep., and, for once, the latter was the victor. St. Joe's boys: were at top fo.rm and played an unusually good game, while we looked our worst; in fact, this encounter marked our lowest ebb, and from it the tide began to rise. The P. I. D. game took us to Mt. Airy to enjoy a return of ourr hospitality of last year . We had made UP' our minds to lose no more games and we started by taking this game from the suburban boys to the tune of a 14-11 victory . McLaughlin, Cummins, Henry and Landherr were the stars of the initial triumph. We continued our winning streak and defeated St. John's High School, Manayunk, in a one-sided game, 28-7. The f1;ame was called at the end of the seventh inning. Landherr's curves completely baffied the visitors, while La Salle hit the old apple every time it came to the plate. The event, while failing in spectacular thrills, was of more than a passing interest as it was La Salle's privilege by this game to introduce a new Catholic High School Athletic Association into Catholic Scholastic circles. We wish you luck, Manayunk! We are confident of winning our six remaining games and are looking forward to a v.ery successful season next year when we enter the Catholic League. Eight of our players are returning to school, and we shall have a strong nine. Just come around and see! DAN O'NEILL.

WICE during this, our final year , has death tak en his toll from among the faculty of La Salle. Brother E liphus, our beloved professor of mathematics, was the obj ect of his second visit . It is only now when we look back along the way we have t raveled, that we can fully appreciat e t he deep erurnestness, inexh austible patience and skillful tact exemplified by Brother Eliphus during his lessons. Trigonometry , his subj ect, is in itself abstruse and seems t o be the "bug bea r" of high school students ; but few could fail to grasp its principles or to apprehend its subtleties under the direction of such an able teacher as Brother Eliphus really was. But th e knowledge of Trigonometry was not the only t hing that we obtained from our intercourse 'with t his " great and good man" as F ather Cum an styled him in the eloquent ei'mon he preached at th e funeral of our dead friend, we perceived in his outwa.rd calm and unchangeable serenity that interi or recollection and self possession which is the inheritance of those only who have fa ithfully carried out the couns,el of t he divine M aster to the rich young man: " If t hou . and come follow M e," and also wilt be perfect , go sell what thou hast . the interior peace th at those enjoy who serve God in holy religion . Brother Eliphus always came four or five minutes before th e time for his lesson , teaching us unconsciously the high value he placed on punctuality and regularity; two human virtues that mean so much to the professional man tod ay, if not indeed to every man. The great number of people th at attended the fun eral and thronged th e reception rooms of the college to view the .r emains bore ample testimony to th e high esteem in which Brother Eliphus was held by his form er pupils and other innumerable friends, who came to pay their last tribute of respect to one whom th ey had learned to admire and love on account of sterling, manly quali ties and unflinching fidelity in his duty to his fellow-man , to his country and to his God.
