REV. BROTHER
To the Graduates of 1927: GENTLEMEN : â&#x20AC;&#x201D;
During your high schoo] career at La Salle, you have become JI very appreciable eleroeni in its history, lioth the faculty arid 1 have learned to put ;t true estimate on your spin! of good will; your manifest active co-operation with our feeble efforts in your ln'si interests; and your unquestionable loyalty to your Alum Mater. [odeed, so reciprocal have been our sentim e n t s o f u n s e l f i s h k i n d l i n e s s . Mini g r a d u a l l y a l -
most imperceptibly, has a homelike atmosphere been cultivated and sustained. A n d n o w , c i r c u m s t a n c e s i instil i n s i n u a t e a severance of these purest of genuine friendships. With loud acclaim, we respond a healthful negative. Cling to the associations of your hi^li school days. There are none more sbservative; none m o r e genuinely t r u e ; none so :i|il to help yon to cherish the memory of the many ennobling impressions <>f your school life. Those were days in which you learned first, perhaps, of the nature of l a w s b o t h h u m a n a n d d i v i n e ; t h o s e w e r e d a y s in which you a w o k e to the telling existence of the Supreme Being; those were days in which the innermost guides of your conscience interpreted to you the plain prosaic meaning of the poetical line: "' Tis only noble to !><.â&#x20AC;˘ good!" [rrespec&ve of how futurity may favor you, your Alma Mater will remain staunch and true. And nothing shall afford her as mm-lt consolation as to h e a r [hat eaeh and every one of Ihe class of l!)27 i s d o i n g w e l l ; thai h e i s f a i t h f u l t o h i s r e l i g i o n ; t h a t h e i s a g o o d c i t i z e n ; a n d tli:il in b o t h these respects his name is worthy of being inseiilicd among the honorable members of the I.a

illS is a ri'i'ri'st'ittative from the hill,-; of Manny unk and we wish to state that if there are ;iiiy mnri' Fellows like him up then 1 , we hope they come to La Salle. Jim is a good-time fellow and his beautiful wavy hair and quiet manner are very attractive. He is an ardent follower of the pugilistic art and is usually involved in a iliMUssioii with Kelly as to the merits of the various boxers, fie is also noted for his lorpsichorean abilities, numbering among his laurels the Charleston chumpionship iif his homo town. His sojourn n.\ la EUtUfl bag*n in the Eiphth Grade and we offer thanks to that kind Fatf which sent liim here. ThrouRh all his years here his scholastic record has been an enviable one and the manner in which he ivciti s his Catechism sets a mudel for th« rest of the class. In his Freshmen year he andvitook ihc duties of <'la.°s Treasurer and handled our account! in a mini tic i- which stamps him as a future financier. He was also selected »s n member of the committee for the Junior Prom and was a memher of the school orchestra. Without a doubt he will nuceeed in whatever he undertakes in the future and prow himself a worthy alumnus of La Salle.

,NE < 1 f th* liifit-liktil Imys in the class is "Oak." He is very reticent and yet is one LIf iiii' foundation stones of the doss, having entered La Satle in 1920. In 11)211. when the present, class was formed, he was there to start. Although '1I'1 athletically inclined he has always been a loyal rooter for the Blue mid (iuld, both in momenta of triumph !ind defeat. In his studies he has always been consistent, heinft very faithful in his attention and application. Onk'!> infrequent outbursts of humor are always welcomed by ;i hearty lauch from the class. Wi believe that in the fieki of Electrical Engineering, which is bia proposed rnri'i'r. he will he a fjre&t success, and miike a name fur himself which hf will be proud of. Oak possesses the courage of his convictions Hiid when ;tsked he IH'VIT lit'sitiites nr is bashful in expressing his c;nniid opinion, no matter on whose too he should chance to tread in doinc so. During ;ill the time that we have known him nu one has ever heard him (ri vp expression to a harsh word or an unkind remark. Amonjr his class companion* he it afT;ible, courteous and considerate; he is loyal in bis friendship, kind aitc! willing at all times to do his bit in the furtherance of the tr^neral good.

Changes were made in the Board of Directors of the class. J. McParland, Pres.; .f. Giliigan, Vice Pros.; Vi. Carr, Sec'y.; R. Doyle. Treas., held the reins for 1924 and under their tutelage tilings went smoothly and the class pulled together. The basketball championship we conceded to the Juniors, but in football and baseball we found no peer. We contributed n large percentage lo Prep, athletics and these men have carried on for three years, the burden of La Salle's prowess on the field of sport. In other (hint's we starred. The coveted prize for Elocution was won hy a Junior, hut George Powers "^~ lost it by so close a margin that for some moments the issue was in doubt. After a most successful yen]-, we awaited the arrival of our J u n i o r year with BORIC regrets, lor il meant thai we were lliat much n e a r e r the necessary e n t r a n c e into llie cold, cruel world.
With mingled feelings of regret and joy we met the junior year. Our beloved President had left for other worlds h> conquer and in liis stead we found Hro. Dorotheus, a man in whom we have every confidence and whom we have learned to "love, honor and obey." (These words you will notice are taken from the world's greatest declaration of war). However, Hro. Dorotheus in his wisdom, deemed it necessary to separate (he class once more. Hro. Frederick guided the destinies of Section H. W. Philips and c. Carr, A. Fredericks and ,1. Gordon, J. McParland and It. Burns, and .1. Dougherty and M. Gilbride were the faithful ollicers of the Iwo classes. They discharged their duties in a manner befitting upper-classmen and governors of such a large class. The first thing of import was football. From our ranks rose Hausch M. Gilbride and Giliigan. All-Catholic selections, with Wheeler, Fitzgerald, Sturm, L. Brennan, Prendergast, Scanlan, Kieffer, Dougherty, Gordon and Strohlein as co-slars, On the sidelines. John Tucker, a new arrival, c a p e r e d in the capacity of cheerleader. Next, Section M gave a dance and its success lias been l a u d a b l y commented upon. II was held al llie Majestic Hotel and w a s ably run by
M. Gilhride, Carr, Cordon, Giblin and Pelstring. Class rings were then ordered and due to the untiring Labor of the Ring Committee under Ihe leadership of Pelstring, everyone received a rin^ thai left him happy ami content. It is rumored thai to date, three hoys have tiol given I hem away. yet. However, they still have hope. To the annual basketball campaign we donated Hausch. Fitzgerald. 1'arrel. Fekele. Gordon and Scanlan. Benedetto had been elected cap* tain of the team, hut received an injury in the firsl football |Âťame and was Incapacitated from further sport. Bausch carried on the work of l e a d e r s h i p . " D u t c h " is a n a l i d e t e of n o m e a n a b i l i t y , s t a r r i n g in t h e

four major sports. Truly, a nmsi versatile young gentleman, and we don't envy tin* opponents of the college Dutch picks out. An orchestra was formed, Walter Philips <i<Âťin^ the conducting and Volk, Jos. Brennan and Jas. Breanen making up (he body of the orchestra. They sure were a three alarm fire. George Powers represented the school in the National Oratorical Contest and this year swepi the Seld in the Elocution competition. Dan McCormici won the Christian Doctrine prize and "Sophie" Tucker was the successful competitor in the Essay battle. Finally, the long awaited tui^lit of the Junior Pram arrived. Fair damsels leaning OH the arms of their "tuxed"' escorts, moaning wails of sax and cornel, the crash of cymbals and the roll of drums, why, it was worth the price just to look at it. The Bellevue roof was attrticlively decorated For the occasion and everyone left content. Minor activities, theatre parties and the like, combined with work a n d s t u d y , m a d e u p t h e r e m a i n d e r of tin- year not t a k e n u p w i t h t h e s e
activities. With a satisfied feeling, we awaited the arrival of our iliial year. It seemed filling thai in our last year as high school students, we should be joined into one class. And what more could one ask. than that we have as the Itilor of our final year, a man of such capabilities as Bro. David, Any success in any affair is due largely to his clear judgment and his experience in such matters. We are under it great debt to him. After Gordon, M. Gilbride, Higgins and White had been decided u p o n as l e a d e r s of t h e c l a s s , w o r k w a s begun ai o n c e o n the S e n i o r Kail.

Due entirely to the efforts of Bro, David, the "ElesCOpe," a school
magazine was founded. Gordon is Editor-in-chief, with Giblin, Pt'lsirinf/ and Tucker as associates. Athletically, we stood head and shoulders above the resl of the school. The ones mentioned before, kepi up the good work hut we mustn't forget the additions to our class in Hie persons of "Judge" Shelly, All-Calholie selection for foolbal! center and "Cy" O'Halloran, haskethall player nonpareil.

f | ill]•', warm sultriness of the June day -itemed to IK* unbearably suffocating, MI I closed my desk and sauntered ouf on Chestnut S i t e d . "^ As 1 proceeded e:isl In Hroad Street, 1 paused In l<mk al different objects <il interest. One thing thai drew a long gaze was ;i new type of building, somewhai over one hundred stories high, then tinder construction. (II wits planned by the internationally famous engineer, Matthias Yolk. H.S., M.A.. e t c ) - While t>aziiiij at this monster skeleton, I chanced to look al ;i large si^n which bore the legend "KiHlVr and Sturm, Inc., Engineers a m i Contractors." T h i s stniek m e a s s i n g u l a r that three o f niv own classmates should l>e so associated some twenty years after graduation. Imagine ray increased surprise when i discovered thai the new automatic cranes mid riveters were tlie products of the inventive genius of Thomas Campbell, the wizard from Tioga. I c o n t i n n e d o n in v wiiy. a n d w a s s o n lew hill d a / z l e d h y a l a r g e p o s t e r which proclaimed thai a very special concert had been arranged for the I wen lie th of June a I which Dr. \V. Philipp, the einiiienl composer would play at the New Academy of Music. Tins would be Dr. PMiipp's only appearance of the y«ar according to Mr. Henry Betz, his manager. With the Famous pianist would be Thaddeus Rorawski, the well known concerl singer. The new stage manager, Luigi Ciiacopetti, announces a le-cture on the following evening to lie given by Prof. -I. Boltz, globe-trotter. II seemed to me thai the longer 1 walked, the more I perspired, so I MI iii Into 11i^ifhi's Bar, (he hud opened il some ten years before when ihe "Jerry" White hill amended and repealed the Volstead Ad.) Mr. [Iiggins, being in Ihe bar, started to talk about I. University's chances tor Hull year. YoU know, Dnlch Bausch had already coached them to four consecutive national foolhall cli;mi|>ioiishi|)s, hein^ thai king undefeated. He lias Mali Scanlon, (lie great Champion Alhletic's catcher as assistant. Hut ihe only team thai marred his record was ihe Crimson Avalanche, coached by "Judge" Shelly, whose co-partner is Hilt Wheeler.
Their teams r a n k e d Mrsl in their section, loo, hist year.
While talking io tliggins, Huhcrl Burns, editor of "Town Topics," ihe onh Internationa] social magazine, came in with Herman Pelstring ami Joe Giblin, his star reporters. Bobby lold me thai Dick Booth had added the Metropolitan Io his string of theatres. I > . I. and Jim Brennen h a v e I h e l a r g e s t c h a i n of s h o w - h o u s e s o n this c o n t i n e n t . John D o u g h erty had really established them as their business manager; Tom Curran and Dick Doyle are their legal representatives. Joe McParland has the largesi advertising corporation in Ihe country. Bobby also told me that O'Connell was now
M. Card O'Cnimell. I'apal l.eyate Io France.
And
that W , Horn, who had forsaken tin' real estate game was now a mis-
sionary in Zulu land. On leaving this pleasant company I bought a newspaper whose headlines informed me thai Lt.-Commander Tucker of Annapolis Fame had just arrived home after a successful ili^lil over the Smith 1'olc. It also s;iid ihiii ihc I!oji. Jacob Strohlein was re-elected for the fourth time Mayor of Hivorhm. ami the i'aiiiinis Carr-Gilbride-Gillig&n Bill, banning Latin and Trig in high schools, had been vetoed and defeated, Turning to the sports page 1 WHS confronted with a picture of O'Halloran. the veteran Washington Brst-sacker who was slill playing good ball. Then there was an accouni of how MfcFadden had successfully defended his Diamond Sculls crown and ho\v McNamara had kepi the Davis Cup in America by his brilliant play. Then we found that Dan McCorraicfe had replaced the former head of the American League. The nexi gave an account of a new hospital being built by Hi's. Mauiii\, M< Gonigal, Kelly. 1).

Senior Commercial T THK beginning t>f another fiscal period it is always well to considcr one's assets. We found on looking over last year's hooks that four students of our class had profited so much by Iheir previous application (lint they could conveniently retire. To replace them and to increase our working capital we admitted In our ranks, in September, seven students from St. Elizabeth's Junior Commercial and one from St. Stephen's. Paul Sullivan, from the high school department, just walked in. We were now twenty-four students, the Class of "27, ready for business, under new management Brother Edward John. After being assigned to our highly-polished, mahogany office desks we noticed lliat the atmosphere of a mercantile house immediately pervaded the classroom. We organized. Class officers were elected.

However, the number of pupils was too great for one class, and it w;is decided tÂť divide the class into two sections. We, uf Section "H," were fortunate to have Brother Declan as our teacher. The months soon passed away, and Diir Freshman year was ai a close, su we determined to celebrate it with ii picnic, which was to IK- a wonderful afi'air. It was; and with the end of the day we parted, to mee( again in September us Sophomores.

In liiis present year, our third ai La Sidle, we found Brother Frederick and Professor Perhac to be our teachers, and under them we completed our Juniorate. Our Ring Committee selected a beautiful piece Of jewelry; and in due time, it was m a d e and delivered, to be worn, liy

Junior Ct rmmnrcta \ SEPTEMBER II, 1926 a group of cheerful-faced Lads, who were later to be known as the "Junior Commercial" was seen entering the majestic portals of La Salic Their faces bore an expression of anxiety, for. most of them were students fresh from grammar schools, who did not know the ways of Hi^Ji School life; while only a few others had previously maintained a scholastic standing at La Salle. They wore greeted gracious!; liy I heir Director, Bro. Dorotheas, and soon after, assigned their department of learning under the supervision of Bro. Cyril. Everything went rosy mid soon class interesi was aroused and officers were elected. They were: Henry Mrrlian, I'res.; Patrick Cumin, Vice-Pres.; Vincent Walsh, Sec'y.; Danie] Redmond, Treas. Much credit is given to these hoys for their spirit and Incessant help in scholastic
matters during the year. In school sports, the Junior Commercial gave several valuable players to La Salle High., being represented on the gridiron, in the personages of Gapt^elecl C.

Assuredly, we felt pride in the fael thai we were moving successfully through o u r lliij;h School course, a n d o u r advent as "Sophs" indicated thai we were getting "up." Brother L. Edward, our preceptor, W H S o u r o n e \>\<> ray of s u n s h i n e all y e a r r o u n d .
As time passed, we gradually settled to our new work and different studies, with a zest and earnestness thai are clearly visible in the records. Came the tool hall season and we were well represented on the grid with ISivhni and Linus playing leading rules in the many victories. Other lights were Gavaghan, McGili, Dougherty, Curran, .!. L. Murphy a n d Devincy; while the remainder of the class cheered Ihcui on In deeds of valor. In every seliool activity we have been there to da OUT hit to help nulkc it a success. Despite this enthusiasm tor sport, o u r scholastic attainments have nut been meagre; for we can certainly show the way in History, Latin and Biology, to say nothing of English and Geometry. Oar mid year r\;ui!s were very c r e d i t a b l e ; every Sopfa came mil magnificently. During Hie basketball season we boasted such l u m i n a r i e s as " S o x " Savholt a n d .). L.

Besides the above, m a n y members have brought credit in the school by their whole-souled activity in rowing, swimming and the national game. W e also gave Several m e m b e r s \t\ the orchestra.

HIS class is just a dandy, sure they call it Freshman "11." Would you like to know the students? then come along with me; I'll kindly introduce them, as I know them every one; the task is very pleasant, when once it is begun.
The first is Eddie Aldred with a bright and happy smile, and next is Richard BaCon who can heat it hy a mile. \ o w here comes liiiss and Coleman a-humming, to he sure, and also Joseph Corcoran whose looks are quite demure. Yes, that is Charley Deignan a-standing at the door1; just list you'll hear him stammer: "1 ne'er was late hefore." Finnegan, Friel and Foley, one, two, three, they go, with Matty Hughea ami Kiefer like ducklings in a row. Well, now I must hi1 d r e a m i n g or thai is Francis Knight, a n d n e a r him Henry Koehlcr with Learning on the right. This is r a t h e r trying while chalk you try to d u c k ; for here a r e J o h n J. Morris a n d W a l t e r L o h a s u k . M c d a r r v and McGinJey they hail from l i e r t n a u l o w n , a n d "Med" McLoughiin also, who never wears a frown. L o o k ! v o n d e r ' s Joseph Nallv in some one else's place; he wears a look ol* gladness upon his smiling face. O'Connor is the pilot, who steered this gallant boat; when wind a n d wave were raging he kepi his hark alloat. " T h e hasehall lime a p p r o a c h e s a n d I know what team will win." T h e voice is Peter I'anli's o'er iiis cello-violin. Kriricn Hccrardi has lately joined the Crew, and Henry Smith a n d Joseph Walsh are surely k n o w n to you. Myself I hate to mention, lest some one lake offense, or say (his rhyming chronicle's devoid of common sense. So now, d e a r Mr, Year Book, you know us as we a r e , we'll talk uboill y o u r kindness lo friends holh n e a r and far. lie sure to 'tell the world'- - i t s m o t h e r too if n e a r that we'll he always friendly a n d wa\cful, never fear.

The object of those games WEIS physical perfection and ;i comprehensive ,»r;is]) of the intricacies of this game, s<> thai we might be able to com pete ne\l year with the leading teams of the city. Our baseball team made noteworthy progress in the realm of sport. Joseph Calhoun w;is the captain. Under his leadership we were victorious in many hard-fought games. Thomas MeTear arranged the schedule, and the teams he selected lo be out opponents proved themselves worthy adversaries. You will hear from us nexi year ;is the "Diligeni Freshman Class."

Dress Well and Succeed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; four ivords that become truer every day! The modern business man realizes the importance of being earnest about his personal appearance. Great business men also concede the necessity of saving money. The advent of women in the business world has caused a "dress up" movement that needs no leader, yet is world-wide. It is therefore natural that men have learned to buy their clothing at this store, where quality and economy go hand in hand.
