GEORGE ALBURGER "George" George's first two years at La Salle were unevenliul, he participated in interdass alhletics and all other activities. However, it was not until his Junior year that George came into prominence by way of track.

He is one of the best thought of fellows in class due to his good-natured personality. He is also a perfect backer of all that the class undertakes.

George aspires to the business world, and with him go our best wishes for great success.

CHRISTOPHER BURNS "Chris"

First in alphabetical order, first seat in the class, and Brsi to take advantage of an humorous situation reminds us ol one. Chris, belter known as "Scotty." He was born in Dublin. Ireland, and this may account lor his great abundance of wit. Chris came to La Salle in 1932, and during his four years as an inmate thereof has made numerous friends, due to his ever present smile and pleasant disposition. He is an ardent student, besides being able to display an adept hand at basketball. For his future work, he chooses to take a course in business, and with his qualities will, without a doubt, make the grade All our good wishes go in saying "Good-bye" to a true friend.

As early as his Freshman year he gave evidence that he would seek the title of best dressed man of La Salle and he kept the same slandard for the whole four years. He was greatly liked because of his good fellowship and his sound common sense. He held class offices for three years, among them being the president oi his class during the Junior year. He has hopes of studying nautical electricity. It grieves us a great deal to say good-bye to a real friend.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1936

"Freshmen!" We, a hundred and twenty timid souls, shivered in our boots when that word first reached our ears. We gazed with envious eyes upon the nonchalant and boisterous upperclassmen, who looked us over as we were led away to classes on that first September morn in 1932. Now, after four years of preparation, we are ready to pass on to bigger and better things. No longer are we timid. We are now the boisterous and self-confident seniors who are envied by the "frosh." But, those lour years have imprinted on our minds many things which we will not and cannot forget.

To each of us our class has a peculiar significance. Studies, athletics, activities—ail are remembered at different times, but the things we most recall are the vivid personalities with whom we worked and played during those four years. Teachers as well as students are numerous in our recollections.

Among the first to greet us was Brother Edwin with his smiling face and encouraging words. There was Brother George- -a common sense teacher with all his eiforts directed toward our better understanding of his subject.

Brother Thomas gave us a thorough training in Freshman English, and the discipline so easily maintained by Brother William will stand us in good stead.

About the most striking freshman teacher was Brother Gabriel whose advice was always heeded.

As sophomores we met two more friends in the persons of Brothers Bernard and Clement, men of vigor and ability. We also came under the guidance of the two Brothers James that year. One was distinguished from the other by the color of his hair. It was either Black-headed Brother James or Red-headed Brother James. We had great sport with the amoeba and the grasshopper and the intricacies of geometry under these two Brothers.

Junior year brought us Brother Vincent and Brother Leo, both ol whom were deeply interested in their work Our Senior Brothers will be recalled with greatest ease. They furnish a great contrast Brother Charles was short and jolly while Brother John was tall and reserved. The classes under them were the most interesting. The class most evaded was that infamous late class, directed and enforced by Brother Francis, who also led us into the depths of economics.

Jim Henry, Vince Taggart and "Snapper" McLaughlin will remain foremost in our mind as men who "knew their stuff" The indomitable Bernie Bradley will always be linked with the thud of pigskin on foot And then there is lhat man among men, La Salle's greatest team builder, who in two years gave us a championship team- Obie O'Brien.

But the faculty furnishes us with but a small portion of our memories Our own classmates will be numbered among our friends forever. Each of us had his own individual friends, but there are many who stand ou! in some way or another.

There are tall, virile chaps like Charlie Prediger and Harry Newnam; we have short, carefree youths like Ferry, fat, jovial ones like Sen mid and Mulherin. There are bookworms like O'Connell and Rabbiit. All of the fellows are good-natured and friendly. There are comedians like Fellechner and Mohan. The gritty lads are headed by Jack McLaughlin, who fights his way through every game. There are quiet men like Fox. No matter what kind of individuals were in the class we always got along well together, at least there are no fights on record.

Here, let it be known to all that there is more to a class history than marks, grades, promotions, games, and homework. There are unwritten volumes in a history of this type. Each boy has a history of his own. We have attempted here to set down only a little portion of what has happened.

To do more would be trespassing on dangerous ground H

CLASS PROPHECY In April of the year 1951, the giant new airliner oi Pan-American Airways returning to California after its maiden voyage to Australia was forced down somewhere in the South Pacific. Communication with the plane was not broken, however, as its new radio equipment, a product of DaCasta-Miles Research Laboratories, continued to function perfectly. Radio Operator McCloskey was able to give the approximate position of the plane after Pilot Ray Haney and Co-pilot Davis had brought it to a safe landing on the ocean.

The plane was carrying ten passengers, all invited guests of its designer, V. J Tompkins, and of Joseph Lehman, a vice-president of Pan-American. The passenger list made public by the company was as follows: William Mohan, well known magazine illustrator; Fred Fellechner and foe Matchinskey, popular comedy team of television and the movies; Doctors John J. McLaughlin and Robert Clark; Frank Schmid, manager oi the F. J. Schwaneberg Cheese-Pretzel Co..

Professor F. P. O'Connell, prominent archeologist and aulhority on ancient Celtic culture, James Learning, Joseph McGarry, and Jerome Mallon, officials of the McBnen Construction Company of New York and Phila delphia.

Two seaplanes from the U S S Lincoln, participating in maneuvers in the Pacific, were dispatched 1o aid in the search for the airliner by Comonder fohnson. They were piloted by Captain Eddie Ward and by Captain Bernard Finan. However, the first to reach the disabled plane was the yacht, Merium, owned by Charles Prediger and Art Henry, world travelers and CO authors oJ many novels oi romantic adventure. Captain Gibbons with the aid of his chief oflicer. Donald Furey, and second mate Comerford successfully effected the rescue oi the occupants of the plane. On board the yacht also was George Alburger. who had just been succeeded by Leo Klagholz as Australian representative of the Toner-Galligan Distilleries.

The passengers from the plane decided that they would complete the trip to Los Angeles on the Merium. It was also agreed that the yacht would be delayed for a short visit in Honolulu. Upon their arrival at Honolulu, the travelers were greeted by Professors lames Gannon and Warren Swain, instructors in voice culture at the University of Hawaii, and also by Bill Burns, former Notre Dame football star, and now head coach at the University. Fred Wanner and John Callan, on a short leave from their duties as lifeguards at Waikiki Beach, also arrived to renew old acquaintances. The voyage to Los Angeles was concluded uneventfully and in that city Jim Blackmore, a pas senger agent for the Pennsylvania Railroad, made arrangements for the completion of the trip to Philadelphia

The train arrived just one day late for the travelers to see Tommy Carroll successfully defend his light heavyweight title in a match held to raise funds for the Red Cross. However, they were in time for the banquet given in Carroll's honor two days later. The banquet was given by Jack McLaughlin. of the Evening Ledger, at the palatial Malloy's Restaurant on Chestnut Street.

The genial host and his brilliant chefs, Carlo Manzi and fohn Reynolds, prepared a sumptuous repast. Of particular enjoyment to the diners were the following special items listed on the menu: Chicken

By Giunta Roast Beef..

By Sprissler Ham

By Trerotola Music was furnished by Jack Rabbitt's Orchestra, featuring Harry Newnam and Dan Hodgson. Vocalists with the orchestra were Terry Quinn, Tommy Thompson, and Carroll O'Brien.

Seated at the table with the guest of honor were his managers, Bill O'Toole and fohn Casey; Gerard McCaflrey, of the local chapter of the Red Cross, and the Philadelphia fight promoters, Ed Grubb and Ray Sharpe. The sports writers were represented by Ferry of the Daily News, Keirans of the Ledger, and Jim Sammon of the Evening Bulletin The other guests included John Tague, John Sullivan and Thomas Mulherin, of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce; John Walsh, National Open Goll champ; Dr. ]. H. KnoJt and Professor E, E. Davis, of Boston College, and Robert Walton, ol the editorial staff of the Philadelphia Record.

The Farmer-Laborite Senator from Pennsylvania, Chris Bern.1;, made a short speech advocating the prevention of soil erosion David Grill presented Carroll with a wrist watch and congratulated him in the name of Philip Friedel whose jewelry business kept him away from the banquet. Finally, Torn Carroll was persuaded to say a very few words in which he gave all the credit for his success to his trainers, Joe Rogers and Jim McTear.

I THE HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS On an ominously beautiful day we returned to our old haunts to lind many important changes awaiting us. The usual jubilant reception met us •Jt the campus entrance and we hastily made our way to thai spot which was ;urrounded by our chums oi old.

In due time our class oliicers, who functioned on divers rare occasions, were elected. Bill Sullivan and Ed Gibbons were elected presidents. Our presidents were ably assisted by Sonny Moross and Larry Bradley, who cornered the "forgotten man job." The secretaries chosen were Charlie Wackerman, "the boy with the laugh all his own," and Bob Byrne, the Phoenixville flash. Treasurer of no funds was William Deagler.

Before long we came to feel that this class takes the cake "lor a bunch of swell guys." There are no outcasts here, every fellow is your Iriend. Good fellowship is the order of the day. No one can deny either thai our cla:;: shall we say witty, or perhaps crazy. Select whichever you think appropriate, either will do. Led by such wits as Rodden, McCauley and Mulvey there is no doubt that we have a class among classes Now just as the Junior Class ranks high scholastically, due lo the presence of such lights as Leo Schad, J. Charles Seemiller. Joe Gilligan, Ed Haggerty, and Thomas Halloran, not to mention "All-American" Gubicza, "Inky" Ingaglio, Joseph McGoldrick, Jim Crumlish, George Coupe, Charles Drennen, and Edward O'Hara, her athletes also lay claim to no small achievement. On the football squad our lettermen include joe Clemenson, Ed Gibbons, John Edinger, Tom Regan, Jim Clinton, Joe Behl, Joe Dougherty, and Larry Bradley. On the basketball squad which, incidentally, copped the Catholic League championship, we have John Brnich, Sonny Moross, and Ed Krupa. Danny "Scrappy" Rodden on the sidelines helped to exhort the student spectators with a megaphone and Walter "Soup" Campbell assisted the manager of the gridders. +9

Joseph Seemil'er does the managing for our track team, At the other end of the campus Petti, Tractenberg, the Byrnes, both Bob and Frank, are raising a racquet for dear old La Salle. Bob Burns and Ed O'Hara have won Their letters for performance in the tank; Tractenberg is also in the swim.

Our school paper finds Rodden as editor-elect, ably assisted by foe "Parkyakarkas" McCauley, literary editor, Al Dorsey, managing editor; George Coupe, sports; Columnist McElwee, a publisher in his own right; George Weisenberger, P. Webb Casey, William Rhodes, and Occhi Bianchi are also on the staff of the paper.

The Dramatic Club made use of many of our members notably Rodden, McCauley, "Curie" Crumlish, "Dolly" Tractenberg, and the all-important manager of stagecraft, James Gallagher.

In the waning months of the year as the third quarter gets under way we are greeted by two new faces. One that of James McKenna we have seen before, the fellow behind the other, William McDermott, is but newly welcomed to our midst; both seem by now, however, to be full-fledged members ond perfectly at home. La Salle seems to do something for you.

As the days continue to pass and the call of the out-of-doors is heard the thoughts of youth turn to baseball. With such hopefuls as Brnich, Haggerty, Petti, and Bradley our hopes in this Held are certain of success.

Thus is running towards its close a happy year and the third of three of iiappiest years of our life. Here's hoping that next September finds us all on our way to La Salle High to begin our fourth and final year as La Salle men.

We (eel sure that the fourth year will afford us as much pleasure and happiness us the first three. {This history is a composite of the versions of various members of the i Class).

THE SOPHOMORE CLASS

The year 1936 will probably be inscribed in the annals oi time as one of the most epochal periods of American History. It is true that this year n be recalled by future historians as a year filled with events both sensational and dramatic.

This year will also be remembered fondly by every loyal student and alumnus of La Salle because September 10, 1935. marked the beginning of the greatest Sophomore Class to appear in this institution since the year 1863.

As we pause and look back reflectively on the past school year, events ily by us with kaleidoscopic swiftness and the abstract mind linds i! diilicult to recall any particular details, but rather merges them all into a bewildri • phantasmagoria.

Owing to the disintegration of last year's freshman groups the classes were well divided and, consequently, the fellows for awhile were unacquainted with their classmates. The fellows rapidly became friendly, however, and it wasn't long before they were addressing each other by familiar appellations.

The first division of the Sophomore Class, better known as 2A, did all in its power to back to the fullest every undertaking of the school. Led by Brother Theodore, Class Moderator, and Brother Eugene, who replaces : Theodore, the class was 100 per cent behind every undertaking of the school.

In fact it was a lad from our class who went to Chicago with the victorious team as a guest of the school Under the able tutelage of Brother Eugene our class was represented by one of the classiest basketball teams of the current year, Obie O'Brien issued a call for candidates fo fill the positions on the newly organized swimming team towards the end of the basketball season and the call, as was to be expected, met with a rousing response from 2A ]ohn O'Hanlon and Bill ODonnel! both were successful in landing a berth. On the track we have Stuer and Morris; in tennis, O'Hanlon, and in golf, one of the mainstays of the team is Meehan. In the realms of scholastic attainment we have so many good ones ii ill befits us to mention them here, for I'm sure each of the other classes is anxious to tell its part of our combined class history, so now on to the class history of 2B. . . .

The class history of the one and only Sophomore B had its origin on the usual date in September of 1935. In general, material looked very good, but a few of the candidates (such as "Monk" Wickersham, Coco, and Bernie Cleary) gave us quite a shock at first sight. However, we finally got settled with the aid of Brother Clement, and elected Joe "Harp" Egan for the berth of president.

We soon woke up to the realization that "Bubbles" Conway and "Gus" Waldron were to be the pacesetters in the class studies, with Schmid, Murphy and Bornman close behind. Right off the reel we began to hold a prominent place in school activities. Manifesting that fine spirit of generosity and goodwill, so characteristic of 2B throughout the year, we got off to a flying start by taking first place in the Ammendale Drive. Later in the term we again emerged the victors in the "On to Chicago" drive for the basketball champs. Whenever anything was going on, we were best, even in mischiei.

Our contributions to the field of sports were many and good besides.

Among the varsity candidates we can boast of "Harp" Egan, "Monk" Wickersham, "Smiles" Cleary, Jack Gibbons, "Impie" Ferruzzi, "Rufus" Dougherty, Walt Keane. and "Flash" O'Neill, in the football realm; while in the basketball ''•rial were listed Egan, McGlone, Snock, Jarecki, and Meehan. Added to these were the members of the class basketball and baseball teams; George Naab, Bernie Dressier, Ray Altman, "Fran" Murphy, Sam Ewing, Berme Dressier, and Paul Schmid But we must not forget those silent, unassuming Erfflilds of ours like Tobin, Tholey, Zoll and others.

I.'it wail, there is still one more and if the last in order not for a surety the in merit, for what class having such lights as Frank, Wydrzynski, and Alberti could be classed as last in anything. Like the other classes we too selected our class officers, when the smoke of the election cleared away, Bob Duval was president, John Wydzynski. vice-president, and Ludwig Frank had charge of monetary supervision. (No! that there was much monetary super-

vising to be done, but then we might need a secretary and treasurer). It is to 2C that lour extra-curricular organizations owe their stimulation. These are the Library Staff, with dapper Francis Riggin and tall Arthur Bridgeford. This organization ably assisted our class Brother, Brother William, in his efforts to organize a thoroughly competent library. So too with the Biology, Photography, and Classical Clubs. In Biology Julius Blum and Bob O'Brien led the way. In Photography Frank and Lent, the latter who was unfortunately unabl* I attend more than a hall year, the family moving to Jersey, and finally in Classical Club we had Riggin, Haverty, and the scholars of Brother F Vincent.

Our group had an honored share in all athletics. Carhn and Fi • ]' i U] \u Id our fair name in football. Henry Steingass gained city-wide fame as captain of the swimming team and breaker of records Although no! represented in varsity basketball, we placed many members on the Junior Varsily: Joe Swoyer, the reliable center; Bob Bell. Bob McBrien, Henry Sleingass, and Joe Bolger. In track Francis Rtggm, Bob Duval, John Wydrzynski, and Luri Frank all seem to be doing their bit to break the Olympic track record:; And so we have witnessed the progress of a disorganized group oi boys and we've seen how they have gradually evolved to form a unit of studworking for the benefit of the school. However, were it not for the very atmosphere of La Salle which is permeated with a feeling of loyalty and helpfulness, it is doubtful if this change would have occurred at all.

And in closing we wish as a class to extend a vote of thank I devoted Brothers, who are all that the word implies to us, of the Sophomore Class.

CLASS HISTORY OF THE FRESHMEN One rainy day in early September, a group of almost-young men gathered in the gymnasium, with overshoes dragging mud and slickers dripping water on the newly-cleansed hardwood iloor. This was the future class of '39 oi La Salle High School This group of "raw recruits was destined to become a very good Freshman class, one that was to bring in the "bacon" in everything it would undertake.

When we first arrived at the gymnasium and heard the ominous message oi Broiher Francis, wt? iirst thought that we had been sent to a military school, but when we saw the clean white rooms and the enticing view we felt better.

Though the view of the surrounding country was rather washed-out looking at the moment, it was very interesting and enticing.

The first week was very easy, "fattening the lambs for the slaughter" as some wise sophomore expressed it About the second or third week, we held the annual class elections. The results were as follows: John McCann, president, Francis Quinn, treasurer; Jerry Callahan, vice-president, Charles Minnich, secretary.

Our class also did very well in the Fall Drive, as well as in the drive for funds to send the team to Chicago.

Several of our fellows turned out for football and basketball and most of these hold good places on their respective teams.

But alas! a tragedy was to befall all the freshmen in general and 1A in particular. The fall of the erasers from their usual perch on the blackboard ledge was a catastrophe that was to leave the freshmen gasping for breath •'. running to borrow old rags from other rooms). We will probably never know what happened to them and possibly never care.

On through the Christmas vacation we went, conniving, playing, and sometimes studying We are now looking forward to a well-earned vacation and looking back on an enjoyable year at La Salle, and looking back also on some tond memories and good friends whom we met at the best school of them all. dear old La Salle. i

IB C>ut of the general confusion that reigned in the gymnasium among incoming students, IB emerged and plodded up the long High! ol stairs to the third Door. At iirst the class had its sessions in Room Three Hundred and Four (304), the room now occupied by 1A. The class hymnals, products oi the untiring efforts of class Brothers, were given out with a sermon. Multi ex uno," that is to say, "Many from one," meaning from one pencil mark, comes many, "so don't write."

Alter a quiet and peaceful week of introduction to the studies of first year high school, confusion again broke forth on the third floor, which was invaded

by Brother Clement and his infernal machines, namely, combination locks.

The iirst quarter examination came like a wolf into the midst of the poor sheep, the Freshmen.

Trouble started in basketball season when it was found that combination locks could be opened forcibly. This was very handy for anyone who wished to "borrow" a basketball.

The Christmas holidays gave feeling of relief to the hard pressed students who had burned up their energy from September on.

Later on. Brother Clement, our jovial Algebra teacher, styled the row near the window, "Sleepy Hollow."

In March our class was kept in for the first time. The cause o( the incarceration was the disappearance of some of the prized possessions of the boys.

Woe is mel In April, the privilege of moving about between rooms for different subjects was retracted. It seemed that there had been too much "cutting up" in that five-minute period.

The day before the Easter recess began, the class saw the movie. The King of Kings."

Studies were resumed the Tuesday after Easter Spring, that glo: season of the year when flowers are blooming and men lake off their red flannels, came and the usual epidemic of "Spring Fever" sel in The year d • with all good wishes to the Brothers and a happy vacation to all our fellow Freshmen.

IC On tli-: morning oi September 9th we were shown into a room on the top floor of the high school building and were told that it was to be our home room. (Indeed in the beginning of the year it was our home room, for we took nil our lessons in the same room). Soon Brother Patrick, our Class Moderator, held elections and lohn Davidson was elected president and George Swoyer was given olfice as our vice-president. Later, when the football season rolled around, the boys from ]C were quite well known on the campus for their ability with the pigskin. In the November Drive for funds for the Brothers in Ammendale IC was among the leaders and showed for the first time the fact that they were topnotchers in the Freshman group. A Freshman English project on the tale "Treasure Island" found a few winners in IC. Later came the Freshman Basketball League and !he Freshman varsity quintet. Many of our boys went out for the team, but only George Swoyer stayed to the end and "cinched" a berth. In the league we came in third. Our class also aided in the Annual Play, selling many tickets and securing many patrons for the Seniors. During Lent we showed our spiritual side in our Lenten fasts and abstinences. Among our prominent sportsmen, Joseph Gavaghan holds high rank, securing the only varsity "L" as a member of the swimming team. Among our leaders in the respective studies we list Edward Sontheimer as our typist, Stephen Bolger and Lawrence O'Connor as our English scholars; John Davidson is a great mathematician, Harry Maloney is our scientist, and Charles Custer, our dramatist. (As we close in the early summer and late spring of the year) We wish all the members of IC and the Brothers who have had us during the year all the best wishes for a happy vacation and a happy return next year.

ID The class of ID began sessions on September 9, 1935, about 9 o'clock.

The boys were put under the guidance of Brother Denis, a Brother of the Freshman classes, who gave us a talk which I think impressed everybody. As the month drew on the class became more and more distinguished in the Freshman group. The class itself became known for its intelligence, cooperation and aHentiveness during the periods of the day.

As the class became prominent in the Freshman group it also became known throughout the school. The first opportunity was the Annual Drive.

From the start ID took the lead and kept it for a good while. This impressed upon the school the fact that this group of Freshmen was to be a leader in any achievements in which it took part. It also impressed upon the school the fact that these boys had true school spirit and the willingness to undertake anything put before them. ID put the fight in the Drive, and although they did not come in first they were still one of the leaders.

One achievement in the Freshman was the formation of the English Club whose president, Joseph Dougherty, was a member of ID. An achievement in the class itself was the election of olficers This was done rather late but, nevertheless, it proved a point of interest in the class of ID. Those elected were: Lawrence O'Donnell, president; Paul Brown, vicepresident; William Slough, treasurer, and Donald O'Neil, secretary.

The next achievement in the school was the Annual Play. ID proved a success in this also by being one of the leaders in selling the tickets. We also did our part in the selling of chances to send the "'Basketball Champions" to Chicago. Some of the leading men in our class are: The Drive, Richard Close; the Show, James Penny, a partaker; the president of the English Club, Joseph Dougherty; in sports, Lawrence O'Donnell for his swimming and basketball on both the Freshman and Junior Varsity teams.

ul'VH BENILDE ACADEMY

As soon as the wails of the Benilders had died away in the Academy after learning that Brother Thomas had left them for the High School, classes got under way quickly as twenty boys settled down to work under the able tutelage of Brother Aloysius, headmaster. It didn't take long for the lessons to get going and the boys found their solace from autumnal winds in books in the classroom. Throughout the year Harry Binder and Constantine Sosangelis held the lead in the scholastic race. Richard McBrien, Matthew Nickels. and Anthony Greco followed close behind. Under the captaincy of Joe Gibbons of the Holmesburg Gibbonses, our football team won three of the four games played Al the close oi the season we were aware that basketball was on the wing and got ourselves a good coach in Fritz Brennan, who took charge of our court progress. Under Fritz we had a most successful season defeating ten oi our fifteen opponents In the La Salle High School Tournament we were able to go till the semi-final round ol the competilion.

With basketball togs tucked away, the athletic awards were given out for all sports and the boys settled down to the routine of school work once again.

In May we bedecked our room with a May Altar and offered our prayers to Our Lady with hymns and offerings before her shrine in Benilde Academy.

During May we also were guests of Mr. McBrien, in an inspection tour of the Holland Laundry, where we saw many of the modem implements for the cleansing of clothes and the new methods used in laundering fragile fabrics and silks. And now with the taking of pictures for the year book, June seems just around the corner. But now that graduation, the end of the trail is upon us, we anticipate the approach of June with mingled hope and fear. We hope that our graduation trom Benilde will bring full opportunity to use the knowledge that we have stored up for the future.

In the May issue of the "Wisterian," we were given a full page account oi Benilde's hopefuls, so space permits of just the briefest of histories here.

FOOTBALL

The La Salle football team experienced one of the most disastrous seasons in recent years last fall. The Little Explorer team lost six and won two contesis, amassing only 46 to a total of 144 points for opponents. The team got ofl a good start against P. S. D., but after this game they came up against such opposition as Salesianum, West Catholic, Catholic, South Catholic, and North Catholic. This powerful group proved too much for the inexperienced Bradley men.

Close decisions by Salesianum, Catholic, and South Catholic robbed the Blue and Gold of possible victories, the latter game being decided by the point after touchdown. Of the players who won their letters during the season, eleven were Seniors.

THE SEASON La Salle, 14; P. S. D., G

It was not until the second half of the game, played on the grounds ol (ha Chestnut Hill institution, that the Little Explorers snowed their true colors. They went on to score two touchdowns and clinch the game. Gibbons and Edinger starred in the backfield, while Captain Tague, Schmid, and Newnarn were our defensive stalwarts.

La Salle, 7; Salesianum, 13 La Saile's grid machine put up a great scrap before going down in defeat at the hands of a powerful Salesianum outfit. La Salle enjoyed a 7-6 lead up unii] the last three minutes of play, but Hahn, crafty quarterback of the Sallies, faked a pass and crossed the tine standing up. Edinger was responsible for the La Salle tally. $9

La Salle. 0; West Catholic, 20 West Catholic's big and powerful eleven proved too much ior the plucky La Salle gridsters. It was only the splendid deiense work on La Salle's part that prevented the Blue and White from increasing the margin. Al Rosato was the star oi the game scoring two touchdowns. Egan, Tague, and Schmid played "bang-up" ball lor La Salle.

La Salle, 6; Catholic 19 Deadlocked 6-6 at the hall, it was not until the iinal period that a big Catholic eleven finally vanquished a fighting La Salle squad. 19-6. Edinger and Moross starred for La Satle offensively, while Newnam, Schmid, and Tague starred defensively La Salle, 6; South Catholic, 7 In the most disappointing game oi the season, La SalJe lost out by the slim margin of an extra point. Neither team scored in the first half, but South Catholic scored on a break, kicked the extra point, and won the game. La Saile completely outplayed the Pirates, but lacked the scoring punch.

La Salle. 6; St. Joseph's, 19 Ank Scanlon's minions opened up the scoring in the third period when Gleeson tossed a pass to Doran for the Preppers' first six-pointer. Egan then deadlocked the count by intercepting a pass and dashing 35 yards ior a touchdown, but the Preppers came back in the final period to snatch the victory.

La Salle, 0; North Catholic, 54

A well-spirited but crippled La Salle team offered little resistance to the powerful North Catholic gridders. The victors tallied in every period. Newnam, Tague, Schmid, Henry, and Rogers stood out for La Salle.

La Salle. 1; St. Johns, 6

La Salle snapped back into the win column when they downed St. John's High of Manayunk on the Olney Heights lield. Behl scored in the third period when he went over from the two-yard stripe. Behl then converted the winning point. St. John's scored on a pass irom Christy to Guziawich, but failed to convert.

SUMMARY La Salle had the material this season and all the breaks. The only trouble being that the breaks were against them On paper we were a first place club, but that doesn't bring ihe results. No matter, win or lose, La Salle always fought to the end.

The Seniors on this team deserve more than thanks for their loyalty, support and true La Salle spirit throughout their years at La Salle. Captain John Tague, Harry Newnam, Frank Schmid, Jack McLaughlin, Bill Bums, Joe Rogers. Toner. Charlie Prediger. Jim Learning, and Art Henry all gave their best in every game.

Coach Bradley, although losing most of his material, will be able to mould a good club around the underclass lettermen of last season. Egan, Behl, Bradley, Wickersham, and Deagler will carry on the work of those who leave this year. We wish the team the best of luck during the 1936 campaign.

BASKETBALL

The 1935-1936 basketball season was the most successful this school has seen in the history of the sport. The team won twenty out of the twenty-four i 'layed for the exceptional average of .833. The team lost the first rune to an inspired Penn Charter aggregation, but went on to win the next nine straight. Gratz, Frankford, West Catholic, St. Joseph's Prep, North Catholic, St. John's, Catholic, Salesianum, and South Catholic all iell victims to the Blue and Gold attack.

It was at this point in the season that we lost to North Catholic in an overtime tussle on the Olney Heights floor. It is the usual procedure for a team to fold up after losing an important mid-season game, but our unusual squad came through in great style, won the remaining league contests, and captured tin- championship.

After our thrilling championship dash, the team was given a rest lor two weeks preceding our light lor the National Catholic Championship. The squad accompanied Coach "Obie' O'Brien to Chicago, where they lost out in the first round of the tournament. The boys were disappointed after losing out, but were pleased when they reached the finals of the Consolation event.

During its sojourn in Chicago the team captured two coveted trophies.

One for being the cleanest playing outfit that entered the Nationals, and another went to Ed Krupa, for being judged as the outstanding player in the Consolation tourney.

Captain Jack McLaughlin, although handicapped the greater part of the season due to a bad leg injury, proved to be an inspiration to the players. In the games he took part, Jack showed that he still is an exceptional guard.

Tommy Carroll, our spectacular forward, is Coach "Obie" O'Briens idea of the perfect high school player. Tom is the smoothest ball handler that La Salle lias ever seen. Jimmy McTear. who also holds down a forward berth, is one of the steadiest players on the squad. ]im captained the 1934-1935 team and has been a varsity forward lor three years. To Bill O'Toole and Joe Rodgers, players of unusual ability, go a good portion of the laurels due M

the team for their splendid showing this year These fellows graduate this year and go on to greater heights. Most o( them, no doubt, will be playing college ball next year. With them go our sincerest hopes for successful futures.

The undergraduates, who will next year take the place ol the Seniors graduating, will have their hands full if they expect to make the showing that the fellows did this year. I think they are capable of bringing another league championship to La Salle. Charley McGlone, Johnny Brnich, joe Egan, Sonny Morass, and Ed Krupa all are worthy of carrying on the high standard of achievement attained by the squad this year.

To sum up our basketball season we can say without a doubt that La Salle was represented by the greatest' team in its history. We congratulate the team and its great coach, "Obie" O'Brien, for their tire]ess efforts and wonderful results.

TRACK The 1935 track season was very successful, the team winning three out ol the regular six meets, and placing fourth in the Catholic League standings.

Captain Charlie Prediger ted his team through a strenuous schedule, and deserves much credit, for "Chick" was the only varsity letterman from the 1934 team.

In the held events our trackmen excelled. It was in this branch that La Salle scored its points to place fourth. The team won dual meets with Catholic High, St. Johns, and South Catholic, losing to West Catholic, North Catholic, and St. Joseph's Prep. For our inexperienced trackmen a .500 average was exceptionally good.

In the discus throw, Captain Prediger and Tom Carroll gather our pain is, while in the high jump and pole vault, Jerry Mallon and Toner rank among the league leaders. Bill Cox and Alburger run in the mile.

Perhaps the most valuable all-around member of the team was Duiloi Baltodano, who performed in the 100-yard sprint, the furlong, and the broad jump. Charlie Prediger won consistently in the discus and shot to place second in the point scoring. Harry Newnam, Frank Schmid, Kxupa, and "Reds" Wickersham helped out with timely tallies in the shotput and discus throw.

This year's team with all seasoned veterans back has high hopes for an undefeated season. With one meet already over and won, the team is traininq hard in preparation for the Catholic League meet which is held around ihe end of May Coach "Obie ' O'Brien has the unusual ability to make a star out of anyone who displays any ability at all. It is due mainly to his efforts that La Salle did so well lasi year and had such a well balanced team this year. The team this year lost but one dual meet, and that was to St. Joseph's Prep. They won four.

BILL BURNS.

GOLF The 1935 golf team enjoyed a very successful season, winning seven of the twelve matches played. They won two from St. Joseph's Prep and Germantown High School, split with North Catholic, Jenkintown, and Catholic, and lost both to only Penn Charter. The season's average was .583.

Captain Sullivan played number one man throughout the season, with Blackmore, Behl, Meehan, and Callan playing in the remaining positions, Sullivan reached the iinals of the Interscholastic Tournament last year and is the favorite to annex that title this year.

The team is very fortunate in having the use of both Sandy Run and North Hills courses, and Manager Callan displays an even larger schedule than last year. The new teams on the schedule are South Catholic, and Salesianum.

An even better season is expected this year.

SWIMMING

The 1936 season saw La Salle High enter a new field of competition. A swimming team, coached by Mr. Mais of the Big Brothers, became a member of the Catholic League- Although we had a small inexperienced group of mermen, we were able to splash enough water to gain some recognition. The ry team really went places, and was second only to West Catholic's champ* ionship team. This outfit broke the existing record by covering the 160 yards in one minute, twenty-seven seconds. The team won three and lost four meets tor the average of .430.

In the Catholic Interscholastic meet at Villanova, Captain Steingass placed third in the 50-yard freestyle, and Bill Bums paced Walt Kelley of West Catholic to a new 100-yard freestyle record. Bill also broke the record, but finished inches behind Kelley.

The remainder of the team consisted ol O'Hara and O'Donnell in the backstroke, Trachtenberg, breaststroke, and Jerry Mallon in the 220-yard freestyle "Yonk" O'Donnell did the diving. With only two Seniors graduating, the team should give more than a third place showing next year.

TENNIS Although La Salle hasn't been represented by a tennis team in the last few years, this season our netmen, displaying quite a worthy schedule, take to the courts. Penn Charter, St. Joseph's Prep, Overbrook, West Catholic, Catholic, Phoenixville, Salesianum, Atlantic City, St. Joseph's College Freshmen, and La Salle College comprise the teams to be met.

The players who will hold down the regular singles positions were chosen by an elimination held the week of April 4. Captain Ed Da Costa plays in tho number one position, while Finan, F. Byrne, and O'Hanlon play in the remaining singles places. The doubles team is composed of Petti and Da Costa, who work well together. Bob Byrne, O'Neill, and Trachtenberg are the substitutes.

Since this is only the second year there have been courts at La Salle, we cannot expect to have a wonder team, but if the interest in the spo: kept up, a team can be developed that will take on the best ol high schools FRANK SCHMID.

THE CHEERLEADERS When we speak of awe-inspiring rallies, or blood-curdling thrills, and of our lighting teams, we think of our coach's words: "Get behind the team and help it on to victory." The student body gets behind its team by its attendance at games, and its cheers of encouragement.

But at limes we seem to forget those who enable us to solidity and make coherent our cheers. The cheerleader, with his thankless job of getting the students to cheer by one method or another; from pleading to coercion; the cheerleader, who must be the "goat" for the wisecracks of the "smart guys" and "wise acres"; the cheerleader, who is as necessary to a game as a Jullback or a center.

Last yeaT our cheering was led by Captain Jim Blackmore, Bill Comeley, fim Gallagher, and Dan Rodden, and it was to the unfailing devotion of these boys to their tasks that we owe what measure of success the teams gained.

They cheered in joy, for the crowd was happy, but when things went bad, then their task really began They had to excite the crowd to cheers which they did not desire to rend, They had to give the team, a losing team, help, if only in a moral sense, but the cheerleaders came through and we are happy !o say that this page is devoted to them.

THE CLASSICAL CLUB The Classical Club, which is under the direction of Brother F, Vincent, has lor its purpose the furthering oi interest in the Lalin language, customs, and the history of the Romans and their influence on modern language and insti kilions. All of this is a source of instruction and enjoyment to the members of the club, as they become aware of the origin of many of the words and expressions in their mother tongue and of the customs of our modem life.

This club was organized in the laiter part oi November 1935. The adopt ing oi i constitution, the choosing of a name for the organization and the out lining oi an honor point system by which the activities ol the members would be evaluated, made up the chief part of the early meetings. Before long olficers were elected also: Ludwig Frank, Consul, Louis Feldman and William Foster.

Praetors, and Joseph Bacon, Scriba.

Il is the duty oi the Consul to act as president at club meetings. The Praetors have as their functions to award points for the work done by the various members and to keep a record of such awards. The duties of the Scriba correspond very closely to those of a secretary—Scriba being the Laiin word for secretary.

During the course of the school year several activities were sponsored by the club. The splendid exhibition held in the library of Roman customs along with many digrammatic illustrations was a "locus congregendi" for some time.

Not content with this exhibition, the members, as well as their moderator, went to great pains to help improve a series of tableaux, in which were depicted •josturnes at the time of the Nativity, as part of a Christmas entertainment.

Later in the year, Brother Vincent delivered an interesting discourse, accompanied by slide-projections, that gave the members an insight into the past glories of the ancients of Rome, and also a vivid picturization of the Turns i remains that have been preserved to posterity IOHN MCLAUGHLIN.

FLYING EXPLORERS Winging their way into the second year of sustained flight and gaining momentum as time went on, the Flying Explorers have during the schol i year just completed, established records and set up traditions and precedfor future members to shoot at, and have set a pace for other clubs to ioli The Flying Explorers were first organized in 1934 as a unit of the Philadelphia Model Airplane Association, under the leadership oi Capt. Edward Ward, and after a struggling start, common to the infancy of all clubs, they began to slowly take root and grow. With new blood this year they took a new lense of life, they became stronger, increased in numbers, and throughout displayed a greater interest and consistency. Towards the end of the year they took a charter under the Junior Birdmen of America, a world-wide organization They have become one of the most active organizations on the campus and have held the interest of a large sector of the student body.

Sixteen September "grease monkeys" won their wings, and many did exceptionally well in the PMAA tests and secured good records in their flights.

Captain Francis Lafferty, the 1936 club leader, received the award for the best model and for outstanding work; Lieutenant-Treasurer Joseph Hess, Aviators Lynch, Carmody. and Flynn also brought in good models and did excellent work. Before the close of the season the club decided to let the school 9& work and climaxed the year with a very successful exhibit in the library All Ihe members believe they have profited by the club's activities many who ambition careers in the field of aviation will probably bear in Iheir future lives the influence and impressions left upon them by this organizer The club looks forward to "fair weather" and continued success and progress next year, and until thenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Happy Landing!

OUR PRESIDENTS The thirteenth rule of the Student Discipline Sheet says: "The Class President is responsible for the good order of his class during the change of periods." Hence the necessity of the boys choosing a good fellow for the office of President One glance at the above gives one a very good idea of the typo ol boys attending La Salle Each boy is both a student and an athlete.

Unfortunately, two classes are not represented here, their respective class presnts being away on business the day the picture was taken.

Needless to say, much of the credit for the admirable discipline that obtains at La Salle is due to the democratic elections of the class president.

The boys themselves, in their respective class groups, select the man they feel best titled to carry on the traditions of La Salle during the coming year. Many boys are elected year after year.

To honor these boys as best representative oi La Salle we devote this page as a token of our esteem and appreciation.

SENIOR PLAY Those who saw "What A Prince!" will remember it as a masterful presentation of a hilarious farce-comedy that blended the varied talents of the players into a performance that was declared an outstanding success. Every participating student contributed his best efforts and time in order to successfully portrays his role. No words of ours are sufficient to praise thÂŤ untirinq work and great ability of our dramatics coach, Gordon Miller.

From his extensive experience Mr. Miller drew the advice that he gave every actor. From him they received not only training in acting, but also an education in the technique of the drama and its presentation. The result of all this training was a performance notable for its character portrayal. The acting was a credit to amateur theatricals.

Complications arising from the impersonation of visiting royalty and the consequent conflict between the nobles who meet in an American hotel furnish the theme of the play Proud and haughty Princess Alma of Deleria and Minor Delusia flees from the protecting wing of her Queen Mother whilst they are louring America and she elopes with August, Crown Prince of Stmdelburg In order to enjoy a quiet honeymoon, they hire a public stenographer to impersonate Alma and a dumb Irish porter to impersonate the Prince. The impersonators remain in the hotel. They are scared almost to death by a Greek 79

anarchist who threatens to blow them up, but retires from the scene because he lost his union card. Fogarty, a newspaperman, recognizes lune, the stenographer, and because she ignores him, he publishes her picture as that oi iho Princess. Gotflieb, Princess Alma's jilted suitor, decides to pay her a visit.

He leaves in disgust when a negro chambermaid is presented to him as the Princess. Maggie, the wiie of the Irish porter, who is impersonating the Prince, comes to the hotel to iind her husband. She chases the Prince impersonator thither and yon with an umbrella. Gottlieb returns, meanwhile, in the company of the Queen and refuses to believe that the stenographer is not the Princess. Finally, he calls the police to arrest the impersonators, but is himself :;led by mistake. Parkyakarcas returns with his birth certificate and more bombs and threatens to destroy the whole royal household, who by this time are quite mixed up. The real Prince and Princess return at this point and lell of their marriage and of the impersonation. Gottlieb hurries oif to settle a revolt in his native country Parkyakarcas is led away to an asylum from which lie had escaped and the stenographer and Fogarty, the reporter, agree to marry. The Queen, meanwhile, is reconciled to the marriage of Alma and August, and she affects the loan ior which she came to America, and the curtain rings down on what many declare as La Salle Dramatic Club's greatest triumph in the iieid of drama.
