UP THROUGH THE YEARS

On a morning las t Fall. oYer eighty young qrntlemen returne-d to thes<· porta(, to conlinu<' the obl i~Iation s of our forebears as members of the Senior Class. tlw school"s pride and joy. \V e returned "ith an attitude of superiority sans the m eekness we posse.;.,ecl al> the b,\bes of La Salle. othem ise known as tl1e Freshmen.

\Ve thouqht

\\<'

were "top.s" and La Salle soon s howed its opinion by supporting the many under ta ki n!!s " e sponsored. From that d am p and rain) morning of September. 1933. to the <'i~thth

June thi:,. year. we have been a trial and oftentinH"S a credit to our teachers, the ever thoughtful and considerate Brothers. whom we th<1nk with a sad tonaue. The lime that intervened between Freshme n and Seniors holds manv fond nl<'mories. and if we may remini-,ce. we should like to recall the ,pirit and fun

\\C'

had "hile h a ppy. care-fre e students. Our entire stay a t La Salle has been joy mixt"d "ith work.

\ Ve

h."<" qairwcl

the admiration of the Brothers for our work in the a nnual drivrs in which

Wt'

participated. sending m<~ny doll.trs to the student Brothers a t \ mmendale.

tlwse effort s w e have shown in a small way the oppreciative !warts "eo l1ave lor ~cse good men.

W e have had the unusual honor of sreinq many chunqes c~round tiH• sc~l. P erhaps few or the studrnts in the lowrr classe~ can picture La Salle "ithout •• stadium. The lon g rides to the Phillies· ball park were many anxious minutes th,ll had the ir reward, though.

B ecause of thi s great inconvt'nience. the Brothers lw-

qan a drh c to ere-ct a stadium for La Salle. Through the generosit) of the late Jol111

A. l'fcCarthy. this was accomplished. It will stand as a memoria l to him us will th <' name .:-lcCarthy Stadium last as an

t'\

crlasting thanks.

During our sta) lwn•

wr saw many other improvement!>. the tennis courts. The fence which surrounds ( _,, Salle was helped put in place through our work in chance books. And finally tiH addition o r tbe new p(ot of ground on \\ hich w e have cl<'si~tned a marvelous prM lice field nnd on which we hope will soon be- placed a diamond for La Salft.', baseball enthusia ... ts. Our record here at La Salle hasn't been purdy of

extra-curricul~r acti\ ity.

the ranks of scholars we do more than (,old our own, we e-xcel. The present t) (W or marking system -.vas introduced when we were Freshmen and we presume that

by our ability it

h a~ been sa,·ed and cherished for the unclcr£!raduates.

FRESHMAN A The tenth day of September, 1918. began [or us. now freshmen . a new cha pter in our school life. for on that Juy we became :stud ents in La S alle lligh SchooL We found oursr lves on the th rel:>hold o f a new era, a nd in a PO'> ition where we were almost forced to ma ke n ew frie nd ships. The fi rst task was tha t o f organizing classes. W e were the fi r~ t group to b e assigned to a classroom, which was to b e known a s lA . W e soon fou nd that tl1e du ty of ma king new friends was a rema rkabl y simple one. E veryone worked together, a nd, a lthough we did not excel in ~ports , we always mad e il a point to enjoy o urselves when time was set a side for leisure; so. too, did we a lways work when this was necessary. A testimony to the truth o f this statement is a gla nce Ht the honor ro ll. which was a lways de nsely pop ulated by I A studrnts. llill. C ooney. fVlcKcl vey. F ormica. and O'l lara were the bright spots from lA on the footba ll ll'dm. while Winters a nd Collins did I heir sha re in frosh baske tball. Kcc~rney is the tr n n is slur of the group, while Little is the frosh trnck manager. A ll told . this has b een a won derful year for a ll o r us, but the h<·sl part o r it is that il is only the beginn ing of a ten ure a t Ln Salle which will surcl} prove enjoyable as wt>ll as educal io n o l.

FRESHMAN C

ll i&tory, but that whiclt will never go down in the books of Betten and other historians, was made on September 10. 193 . "hen Freshman B was assembled for the first time as a dn.,!>. Thirty-six lads. o.~JI read> (we hoped) for a successful scholastic year. After a week or two. we gradually got to know one another. Football season soon ~ol under way. and I B was out to show its worth. Under the capable direction of Brother Declan, the team proved ilsc:.fr a worthy opponent for any frosh eleven. Sensing the need of a class leader. the members of J B elected Leomu·d Whal<'n. President. and Thomas Harper, Vice-Presiden t. Jack Devlin was given charge of any financial or busine~s matters as class secretary and treasurer. Toward Christmas, the nnual Ori,·e got under way. IB got off to an early lead and. ne,•er headed. romped home the winner. In interclass basketball, IB dt>feated all its frosh opponents twice with the exception of the champs. IC. Champion!lhips were not ours, hut we were successful in showing a winning !'pirit characteristic of I B in e' erything. \Ve w ish. in closing, to extend our deep appreciation to our i'- lodt>rator. Brother Oeclan. for his untiring efforts in our behalf. To the other members of the faculty. "ho put up so patiently with us. we wish to :,ay sincerely. "Thank you."

FRESHMAN E

As we browse musinl(iy over last year's " Blue .111d Gold." we stop "ith pleasure to read the 'torv of the 1937-)R <'dition of Class 10. We not ~ that our "alumni" were splendid fellows, t•,cellcnt stud«>nts. and brilli<mt athletes. A great pride swells in our ht'arts when we realize that throughout the p.bt year our class has nobly strh·en for and anruircd the lofty ideals that have guided e,~.,. Freshman D class in the past. Things started movinl-( swiftly in October ond November. during which time our football ~quad. led by John l' lc lenam in, swept aside ,,II opposition and w<'re crowned c hampions. t•merging unbeaten and unscorcd-upon throughout tht> season. The llcholastic rank, ha\'e been upheld throughout the ye<~r b, \ Villiam Sabol and Francis Ho" le-.-. who ''<'re closely pushed all tiH' way b) John \lcCann. Tt'd Everlof. J oh n I lt•pkin and Frank Gillt>spi<' for top academic honors. There were •.r,o f('·w dull moments. with such fellows as Frank Laky and Frank VuJc.nti around to bri~ht('n up the days. . or course. evf'r) 01)(' knows of the sport triumphs of John (I\ lurph) l\1lodzianowski, Lon D<·Orio . .John l\1arkulin, and Edward Sheppcr. ,,II members of I D. who have made a nam<> lor themsel,·es on var,itv and jayvee teams. \ \' e close "ith .1 nott' of tiMnks to Brother CNald. our da" mod«>r.ttor, and to all the BrothC'rs who ha\1' t,w!!ht us.

On a beautiful day in early Se ptember. tht' class o f IE was form ed and or~anized. Under our capable class moderator. Brother Cyril. we soon became quite well acquainted with our n<'w surroundings. The election of class offi<ers. Tom Crawford. President. a nd John Cooney, Vice-President. was o ur initial ven ture. The A nnual Drive was trul y an opportunity for IE to gain recognition throughout the entire school. In this attempt. we succeeded admirably. In this triumpla, Jol1n !Yiiller deserves mention for his individual e ffort s. In early October. u call for football was sent out. to which more than ha lf the class responded. Though W<' had a fairly good team. we did not have the success we had expected. for our tea m was inexperienced. Martin Keane. our manager. took un active pa rt in gu iding and directing our teum. which finished in fifth place. .lust before Christmas, the first edition of the "l"lercmy." our class' hi-weekly newspaper. was oublishcd . Earl y in January. our class basketball lea m was organized . and proved successful under the able lead ership of Jim M cCrossen. 'vVC' managed to finish third in the fro sh league. Our class was quite outstanding in its scholastic record. Among our more notable scholars arc 1\ lartin Keane. Gera ld j\ lcFarland. Robert Carabasi. and Joseph Su lliva n. In parting. we extend our sincere thanks to Brother Cvril. our l\loderator. for all that he lu1'l done f~r us. (,(,

The team practiced faithfully throughout March and April and entered its first match aaainst R oma n Catholic High on April 2 1.
