CHRISTIAN EIJUCATION

This book is dedicated to the ideals ot Christian education. It is relatively easy to dedicate o book to o cause. The man behind La Solie dedicated his life to these ideals. John Baptist de Lo Salle -priest, schclor, teacher of teachers, saint-poured his energy and his fortune into o gigantic task which, two and o half centuries later, has produced over o thousand schools like Lo Solie, in every corner of the world where young men of all ages and all conditions ore inspired with Christian maxims, and where the foundations of religion and Christian piety ore laid in young hearts. He recogn1zed that all the disorders, especially among the poor and laboring people proceed from o neglect of proper training of youth; that it is practically impossible to repair these evils when the young hove grown up, and, therefore, what is needed above all ore men and women to supplement the work of parents as Christian teachers in Christian schools. ' One passion moved St. John Baptist de Lo Solie in his work as pioneer in popular education: o deep, burning love of our Lord Jesus Christ. He loved Him as God become Man; he loved Him og,. Victim on our altars; he loved Him in the person of his neighbor, for whose welfare the Saint spent himself and oil he hod. His ideal was that every student of the Brothers' schools should think often of Jesus, their gcod and only Moster, so os to come to think like Him; to speak often of Jesus. for out of the heart the mouth speaks; to desire and long for Jesus alone, in this life and in eternity. In these pages, the attempts to translate these wishes into octulity at Lo Salle ore presented.

"Hence the true Christ ian, product of Christian education, i~ the supernatural man who thinks, judges and acts constantly and consistently in accordance with right reason illumined by the supernatural light of the example and teaching of Christ; in other words, to use the current term, the true and finished man of character." -Christian Education of Youth, Pope Pius XI.

Here is lo Solie High School, the bu ild ing occomodoting obout five hundred of our seven hundred ond fifty studen ts.

Built in 1929, it is o ne of the most beautiful ond most ideally located schools of ony in the arc h-diocese.

A BIRIJ'S EYE VIEW OF LA SALLE

La Salle is more than the buildings a nd grounds which make it up. It is on institution conducted by the Christian Brothers, developing in its students o spirit of Christianity. This spirit a nd the spirit of friendship which exist between the fellows and the Brothers ore intangible and therefore impossible to show in pictures. Yes, the fellows ore La Salle, a nd t here is no better way of showing the very soul of La Salle thon by showing its students as they really ore; their moments of lightness and their moments ol seriousness. The purpose of these pictures a nd those throughout the entire book is to show La Salle a s we, the students, hove known it.

An informal get-together on the Brothers' porch is not uncommon during our free moments. Here Tom Zoller and a group of seniors folk over that eventful January 28.

Many students enjoy moments of pleasure in tho library reading popular magazines, as well as the best books in various fie ld s.

"THEY THAT INSTRUCT MANY UNTO .JUSTICE SHALL SHINE AS STARS fOR ALL ETERNITY.'' -DANIEL Xll, 3.

BROTHER EMILIAN The Reverend Brother Emilion hos been President of Lo Solie College for the post three yeors. Coming to Lo Solie in 1941, he succeeded Brother Anselm, now Principal of West Catholic. He hos given his support ond encouragement to oil of Lo Solie's activities. He is olso responsible for the present system of education odopted ot Lo Solie College.

The Adminislrotion here ot lo Solie is in the capable hands of the six Brothers mentioned on this and the following page. Embracing every port of the school's activities, these different departments ore in the hands of capable moderators, whose every effort is directed toward the bettering of La Salle. With a keynote of harmony and cooperation, their progress has been swift and sure.

BROTHER DAVID Brother David hos completed his third yeor os Principal of Lo Solie High School. He wos formerly vice-principal ond Guidoneâ&#x20AC;˘ Director. A very eopoble odministrotor, Brother Dovid hos done on outstanding job in mointoining the good reputation of Lo Solie.

BROTHER CLEMENT Former moderator of the Alumni ond lo Solie Mothers' Club, Brother Clement is now the Principal of Lo Solie Central High School. Well liked by oil, Brother hos proved his obility in his new position.

AIJMINISTRATIDN BROTHER DATIVUS JAMES Brother D. James is well known to everyone at La Salle, having been stationed here longer than any other faculty member. He is best known as La Salle High's Direc:tor of Athletics.

BROTHER DAVID ALBERT Brother David Albert, in his first year as Guidance Director, has per路 formed on outstanding task. He has aid ed many of the students in choosing their vocations and in selecting the branch of service for which they were best suited.

Many fellows hove been set on the right path by Brother David Albert. Here Tom Blake and Alex Minder examine the benefits of the Service Programs with Brother in the Guidance Office. NRe cor

BROTHER CLE MENTI AN C oming to La Salle in the middle of the 1942-43 school year, Brother C lemention instituted the Office of the Prefect of Studies. Through his kind lineu, understanding, and selfsacri fice, he has helped many a dude nt become more proficient in his stud ies .

MEET THE BROTHERS A La Salle Senior, after four years affiliation with the Christian Brothers, their ideas, and their ideals, has his future well provided for. He has the moral preparation and religious background to fight for his life's goal; he is well versed in the social aspects of life and his port in it- a s a Christian and as a gentleman; he has adequate experience through La Salle's activities, in the busi(less and recreational aspects of his future; above all, he has obtained what he entered La Salle for-on education. La Salle's educational program took on a new theme this year-that of preparing its participants for their po~ in America's War Effort. Yet, the three fundamental courses remained unchanged, for competent exponents of all ore necessary in our struggle for democracy's victory. Briefly outlined, the courses are: I. The Scientific Course This course offers the fundamental training necessary for students who intend to enter Medical or Engineering fields . The subjects stressed ore the sciences: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, and Mothemattcs: algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Religious training is given four years in all the courses. Included also ore four years of English, World and American History, LoJin, TypewriJing, Modern Language, Physical Education, Music Appreciation and Health Instruction. A Freshman Latin Closs in one of its lighter moments. Brother Patrick seems to hove the situation well in hand, while the students, judging from the smiles on their faces, rather enjoy it.

Ill. The Classical Course This course provides a classical training and offers exceptional facilities for works along scientific lines. It includ&s four years of Latin and English, Modern Language, Algebra, Geometry, History and various electives. An increase in the overages necessary to attain certain grades raised the school's scholastic sta~mg considerably. The students' efforts are divided into five grade~:

A Excellent I00<;'0 -93% B Very Good 92%-BS% C Average 84%-77% D Passable 76%-70% F Unsatisfactory Below 70<;'0 Cords of various colors路 (A-Gold, B-Pink, C-Green, D-Blue, F-White) ore issued each week indicating the pupils' progress. Written examinations are conducted four times a year and comprehensive reports with grades follow them. The typical American Secondary School of our day summarizes its purposes as follows: I. To meet the immediate needs of the individual, to satisfy his le9itimate aspirations, and to develop his latent talents. 2. To make him a useful member of the sodal. groups choroderistic of our democratic form of ... government. At La Salle this is more than a motto; it is a GOAL.

WE PRAISE GOIJ The Archconfroternity of the Divine Child hos in the post few years risen to o point of prominence among Lo Solie activities. The meetings of the society include prayers, o tolk, usua lly on some phose of Catholic Action, ond o general discussion of the topic.

The Sanctuary Society has existed at Lo Salle since its very beginning, not olwoys as on o rganized unit, but as o group of individua ls who were. â&#x20AC;˘willing to help out when needed by serving God ot His altar. The society is more a necessity thon just another extra-curricula r activity. W ithout it, boys would not be avoiloble for serving o t Moss and Benediction every first Friday a nd ot Moss during Lent. Every yeor o few of the boys serve the Mosses for the Mothers' C lub Communion Breakfast ond the Alumni Breakfa st. The Society is truly o credit to l o Solie.

Early in the school year the Checker-Chess Club was formed. As Brother Ferdinand John, the organizer and moderator, wished to hove a chess team to enter the High School Chess League of Philadelphia for the second semester in February, the first few months were devoted to chess only. In December, students were invited to join the checker section, which was formed at that time. Thereafter weekly contests were held in both games. New members could join either or both groups at any time. A Iorge number of chess and checker sets and boards were provided free of charge, and in addition the club now has a library of books on these games, and a subscription to the C hess Review. These books may be used for study by the boys, either in the club or at home. Robert G. Tully P-D) was elected President of the club and Captain of i路he checker team. John Gibbons (2-C),' Captain of the chess team, has shown outstanding ability in deleoling the best players in the high school league.

Completing its fifth year, the rifle club might well boost of one of its most successful years. A well rounded program included shooting in the four positions; indoor and outdoor shooting at fifty and one hundred yards. Brother F. Joseph, assuming direction of the club after a lapse of four years, was ably assisted by John Comyn, President; John Heilmann, Vice President; Peter Yourl, Range 路offi. cer, and William Scanlon in instructing new members.

The Bowling Club is mode up of the fellows who did not qualify for the varsity bowling team or who through sheer love fo r the sport joined together under the guidance of Brother E. Francis.

Organizing early in September the Poster Club has loyally supported by its posters many school activities, including dramatics, sport e路tents, the annual drive for Ammendale, the Variety Show, the blood donor drive and the school's social events. Because of this constant demand for its work, the club has been favored by having its own spacious work room, abundant materials, and generous loyal club members. Early in the year, popular Thomas Sullivan, the only junior in the club, was unan imously elected president. The vice-presidency went to freshman Thomas Timlin. The sophomores, James Connor and Merle Charlton, become socre~ary and treasurer, resp ectively.

For almost two years the b 路unt of t ~e work of photography around La Salle was borne by Bernard Schreiber. Only late in November of 1943 was a club finally formed. After several weeks of carpentering, po.nting. and wiring, on empty room and a pile of lumber were transformed into a dark room. Bernard Schreiber, Lawrence Cornell, and Leonard Graziani, all of whom later proved to be the most loyal members, were assisted by Brother Paul in this feat. Other members of the club ore: Raymond Teller, Joseph Tattlow, James Martin, and Edward Riggin.

THE MOTHERS' CLUB Under the oble leadership of Brother Dominic Luke ond Mrs. McFarland, the Mothers' Club this year hod one of its most successful seasons. Starting with the Freshman Teo in October, the mothers carried through their policy of the best entertainment for La Salle to their "La Salle Night" in May. Many still remember their Com-

munion Breakfast in November, which was attended by on owe-inspired audience. For the students of La Salle, the mothers sponsored the much liked and talked about Saturday Night Donees. For their parents such affairs as the Cord Party in January and the Variety Show on February 18 dominated the calendar.

"SPEAK THE SPEECH, I PR"Y THEE AS I HAVE PRONOUNCED IT TO YOU; _./ - TRIPPINGLY UPON THE TONGUE." -HAMLET.

The year 1943-44 will long be remembered at La Salle for its outstanding dramatic presentations. Undoubtedly this year has been the most successful in the history of the La Salle Dramatic Society. The first presentation, Emlyn Williams' "A Murder Has Been Arranged,'" was o huge success. The manner in which it was received by the audiences was most gratifying. Next, Brother Denis mode his selection of the annual Senior Production. His choice, the famous "She Stoops ... to Conquer" by Oliver Goldsmith, proved to be o wise one. In this ploy, girls from the Aca demy o f the Sisters o f Mercy played opposite the La

Salle boys. For t he occasion, Mercy Academy's orchestra was on hand for each of the six performances to further enhance the presentation. The production was presented on February 9 I I. and 12. The annual Passion ploy, "Born of the Spirit," written by Brother Denis Wilfred, was presented during Posston Week. As usual, it was received by a very appreciative audience. Rounding out this tnumphont season was the One Act Ploy Contest, held this year at Northeast Catholic High School for Boys on Thursday night, March 16. La Salle's participation in this e vent marked the close of its dramatic year.

George Hastings (William McAuliffe) introduces the bashful Charles Marlowe (Gerold Nugent) to the omused Kote Hordcostle ( Mory Joon McDonald I ond Constance Neville (lill ie McKeefrey ). learning thot Marlowe is bashful before "genteel" lodies but forward with those of lower sociol stotus, Kote Hordcostle "stoops to conquer" in the guise of o bormoid.

"A MURDER HAS BEEN ARRANGED" On Friday and Saturday nights, December 3 and 4, the La Salle Players presented Emlyn Williams' "A Murder Has Been Arranged." Under the expert direction of Brother Denis Wilfred. and with o cost of conscientious and truly superb odors and actresses, the presentation was ~ tremendous success. The story dealt with the cocelully planned murder of Sir Charles Ja sper. Everyone knew who the murderer was, but they had not o groin of proof as to his guilt. A tense and obso;bing drama, it was well p resented.

A pleasant masquerade party was in prog ress on t he stage of the St. James' Theater before tragedy e ntered in the death of Sir Charles Jasper. Here LoreHa Daly, Marie Reinhart, Clore McMahon, C a therine Hornyak, Dove Kerr, and Jaclt Beoty raise a toast to a ntic ipated pleasure.

No show is succ"sful without o competent stoge crew. Daniel Sontomero, Charles Cassidy ond Tom Sullivan pouse in their worlt to toke a well deserved bow.

Covendish (John McLoone) stonds by os Mory Gordner tells how thrilling it wos to enoct the role of o womon struck dumb by o ghost in the St. Jomes' Theotre. The Mystery of the St. Jom es' Theotre murder is enhonced by the oppeo ronce of o womon who hod bee n struck dumb (Mory Gordner). The principols of the cost wotch her os she relotes o stronge story.

The Hardcastle servants, a cco rding to Squire Hardcastle (John Mcloone), "need as much training as o company of recruits, th, first d ay 's muster." Squire Hardcastle is trying to teach Dig gory {Jock Smyth), Roger {John St. Clair), and Bob (James Donn elly) , some of t he

niceties of domestic etiquette. The lesson is wasted, os the three rustics cavort through o great comedy scene of mingled awkward manner and ignorance. They ore wholly unruffled by the foet that they ruin the Squire's hope for d isploy of social grace before his guests.

"SHE STOOPS TO CDNOUER" In the famous "Throe Pigeons Tavern" scene, Molt Muggins {James Dougherty) quaffs o "short one," as Jod Slang {John Bresnan) ond Tony lump路 kin {Dove Kerr) look sadly at empty steins. Amendob {Harry Redner) ploys o goy tune on the harmonica.

Charles Marlowe (Gerold Nu gent) 路 is pleased with the news that Stella {Jane l a nd ) has g iven o collection of jewels to the landlady for safe keeping. He doesn't know that he has spoiled Hastings' pion to elope with Condonce-ond the jewels.

Two scenes of great com· edy show the bashful Mar· lowe introduced by Hastings to the amused Kate and Con· stance, and Mn. Hardcastle (Margaret Mary Banes) dis· covering on intrigue, much to Tony Lumpkin's delight and Constance's chagrin.

The Saturday night oud i· ence laughs in hearty approval of our Senior Play hit, Gold· smith's "She Stoops to Con· que<." No doubt Tony Lump· kin has tricked his gullible mother again.

OUR CHAIN OF MEMORIES ADDS ANOTHER LINY.i Due to the splendid support and coopera tion of the students, the Winter Formal held at the Warwick Hotel on January 28 was and is La Salle's outstanding success. This social highlight of the school year is o lasting tribute to the sustained efforts of the Closs of 1944, and to the

assistance rendered them by the undercla ssmen, the college students, and the grads. Johnny Warrington provided the music, which was predominantly sweet. Vocals were supplied by Marion Mason. The prom was chaperoned by the Senior class moderators.

Arriving at the Prom, the fellows and girls pause at the top of the stairs as Mr. Graham checks the tidets.

Brother Francis has been t he coach of the La Salle Bowling Team for the past several years, and has esta blishe d an excellent reputation for the team and himself. His jovial personality and all round sportsmanship make him one of our most popular coaches.

"Sonny" Morass, assistant basketball coach, was the star of O'Bie O ' Brien's championship '36 team and this ye ar is responsible for a very fine junior varsity. His knowledge of the game is inexhaustible.

at La Salle for nine years of the d ecade, came bad after a short period of coaching at La Salle College. He prodllced several championship teams, and never ended below third in the final league standing.

Brother D. James has been Director of Athletics ot Lo Solie longer thon ony senior eon remember and while here has enjoyed immense suc:c:ess at that post. The athlet~ teams under his jurisdiction have upheld and established the school's e nviable reputation in all fields.

MINUTE MEMOS OF '43 SEASON

Tommy Byron

Into the sacred and cleat-torn turf of McCarthy Stadium, the stalwart prodigies of Bernie Bradley wrote o might sago of o team not great in ability, not great in accomplishment, but one of a team great in spirit, great in aggressiveness and sportsmanship. It was o team La Solie is duly proud of. Led on by its AII-Schoolstic guard and captain, Jim Reilly, it turned in the not-tobe-scorned record of five victories and four defeats. LA SALLE 0-WEST CATHOLIC 44 The Catholic League season did not open any too auspiciously for the green and inexperienced hopefuls of Olney Heights, as they were decisively defeated by the league chomps, West Catholic, to the tune of 44-0. Displaying a dauntless passing and running attock, the Burrs continually shook loose Don Brown, Johnny Tulskie and Joe Dougherty for scores. However, the most outstanding lineman of the game was our own "Abe" Reilly, who gave o great exhibition of offensive and defensive ploy in o losing cause. LA SALLE 7-ROMAN CATHOLIC 19

John Garvin

It was a very definitely improved team that took the field against the Cohillites, but our inexperience caused our second loss, 19-7. La

Ned Kearney plunges through the right side of the Prep's line on o double reverse for o small gain as Max Sorensen and "Abe" Reilly form strong interference for La Solie's play-calling quarterback.

Salle led at half-time, 7-6, by virtue of Tom Byron's 50-yard dash after receiving o welltimed pass from Ned Kearney, and o conversion by the former. However, it relinquished its lead in 'the third quarter as Jock Govoghon of Roman twice intercepted posses and scampered to pay dirt. LA SALLE 20-ST. JOHN'S 0 The Little Explorers, after two consecutive defeats, soared bock the following week to chalk up their first victory of the season. A well coordinated team, offensively and defensively, the Little Explorers outsho11e their rivals in all fields as the Kearney-to-Byron combination once more clicked for o touchdown and as swivel-hippeo Johnny Garvin plunged over twice. Garvin's lost score was set up by "Abe" Reilly, who bulled his way from the 12 to the 4 on on intercepted pass. Two extra points w~:~re mode, one by Byron from placement, the other on o pas:; from Kearney to Bob Noonan. LA SALLE 12-SOUTH CATHOLIC 6 The now spirited and hard-hitting Explorer eleven continued its winning ways as it downed the Purple Pirates for its second consecutive vic-

tory. Sparked by twice-scoring Johnny Garvin, one touchdown being o sensational leaping pass reception, the Blue and Gold were magnificent with Bob Rainey, Byron, Donohoe, Reilly Sorensen, and the entire squad playing excellent boll. LA SALLE b-ST. JOSEPH'S 20 Our arch rivals, the Preppers, found little difficulty in downing us, as they scored o 20-6 victory led by Vince McPeak, who did all the scoring. However, our own pomt producing deportment was not blanked out, as Tom my Byron once ogoin took o Ned Keorna.c; pass for o score.

LA SALLE 12-ST. THOMAS MORE 6 Defeat did not dampen our spirits, for once more the Bradley men charged into the winning bracket as they downed the Golden Bears on Kearney's quarterback sneak and Byron's touchdown on a lateral pass. St. Thomas' spread formotion caused confusion but no great damage, as our line, led by "Abe" Reilly, Bill Gaynor, Jimmy Smith, and Johnny Fanuka, continually broke up the ploys. LA SALLE 0-NORTH CATHOLIC 13 Playing a never-ending bottle up to the lost minute of play, La Salle fell prey to a strong Falcon aggregation, 13-0. For North it was Begley and Haviland who did the scoring, the latter on a tricky end-around. Though we never penetrot~d within the Falcon 20-yord stripe, we still were a fighting team, who deserved the cheers of the throng. LA SALLE 12-ST.

Receiving a screen pass in the second quarter and eating up 54 yards, Bob Rainey became the hero of our lost game. We of the Class of '44 sincerely wish to thank Mr. Bradley and also his hard-working assistant, Tex Flannery. By innovating the famous T-Formotion, Mr. Bradley brought a green and inexperienced team from mediocrity to what will be remembered as one of the most gallant teams in La Solie's history.

OFF THE BACliBDARDS La Salle's '43.'44 basketball season opened on o sour note as our boys bowed to Central, 26-25. The home team got off to o 6- 1 lead but the Mirrors whittled it down and began o scoring spree in the final quarter that clinched the game. Jimmy Reagan led La Salle's scoring with eight points. Simon Grotz, our next opponent, featured 17 points by Dick Koecher, who now ploys for Temple, and o 35-22 victory.

Chuck Thompson tabbed six for high man , while <ioph Johnny"~'\Weglicki come through with five. Our ''big five' then proceeded to drop to Germantown Academy on the short end of a 32-22 account. We locked perfection and skill 10 the game but the weak opposition enabled us to score almost at will. Chuck Thompson was our high man with I 0, while Bill Gaynor swished seven . In their initial game in the Catholic league the O'Biemen lost to South Catholic by the narrowest of margins, 2 points. Tommy Byron's beautiful floor game and Don Dougherty's high seven points were not enough to gain a La Salle victory. We held the lead, IS- I I, at the half, but excellent sharpshooting gave the Pirates the 29-27 verdict. West Catholic's powerhouse ran La Salle's zone ragged during the fi rst half, piling up o 26 9 lead. In the final half O ' Bie's charges roared bock, led by Don Dougherty, who

The Explorers were worn out but determined, and in the three-minute extra period they did everything in their power to stab one but to no avail. With twenty seconds left Thomas hod the boll in the corner, his bock to the basket. He threw the ball over his head in o wild toss that located the basket. Thus La Salle's kids lost to West's veterans, 35-33. Joe W illiams, Johnny Weglicki, and Jimmy Reagan were tied for scoring hcnors with eight points each.

Thus fell the curtain on the '43-'44 basketball season. It was o good season, o successful season . We solute "O' Bie" O'Brien, our great coach, and "Sonny" Morass, h1s able assistant.

The best members of the J. V. squad were Donohoe, Delaney, Kane, Sundermann, Phelan, McGrath and Mackin. Jim Deloney was ineligible for the varsity because he come from North Catholic.

The sprinters, Jack Wanner, Jack Galien, Joe Learning and Bill Lockett, should give a good account of themselves. In the hurdles La Salle will depend on Bob Ford, Lou Woyce, Bill Gallagher and Don Palmer. Big Dan Dougherty, with Alex Hartnett and Joe O schell, will heave the shot, while Bill Gaynor should make a name for himself with the discus. In the high jump there is John Nolan, one of the few seniors. Jock Kelleher, with the other dash men, will do the brood-jumping. Bill Moher and Bob

"I HAVE YET MANY THI~GS TO SAY TO YOU: BUT YOU CANNOT BEAR THEM NOW." -ST. JOHN XVI, 12.

The Sonior Activities Committee ond their dotes pause for the photographer on the stairway at the Warwick.

SENIOR ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE The success of the Thanksgiving Donee and the surprising triumph of the Winter Formal ore both due to the able support of the student body under the leadership of the Senior Activities Committee. Early in October the Committee was chosen and in less than three weeks had already made plans for the first social event of the season. Their prowess in able leadership came to a test late in November when La Salle gave its annual Thanksgiving Dance. This was such a success that immediately plans were made for the Winter Formal. Contact was mode

for the band and the hotel and by hard, unceasing work, the Committee emerged on January 28 with its crowning achievement: The Winter Formal at the Warwick Hotel with Jahnny Warrington and his orchestra. Acting as President and general chairman, James Buggy did a wonderful job in organization. He was assisted by a number of Seniors on the different committees. The moderator of the Committee was Brother E. James. ~onks to the efforts of the Senior Activities Committee, the Winter Formal was really mode "a night to remember".
