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.

It w a s a h o w l i n g s u c c e s s mid w a s held al the Ritz-Carlton just before Christmas.

T h e n w e b e g a n w o r k o n t h e y e a r h o o k . Gordon, Editor; Messrs.

Dougherty and M. Gilbride, Associate Editors; M. Higgins, Bits. Mgr.; .1. McPariand, Advl. Mgr. and IX McCormicI,. S;des Mgr, With this e x c e l l e n t staff, t i n s y e a r boofc s h o u l d g o o v e r w i t h -i b i g g e r n o i s e t h a n any preceeding one.

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. Tom C.urran, Seanlan and KieH'er Starred with our newly formed Swimming team, and Captain Tucker. McFaddeii.

Gordon, McNanutra and liorawski carried tennis to a peak.

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). Gilbride and Joe Brennan, all very emineni "sturgeons." Dr. Zakrzewski had resigned on account id his hn-^e privntc practice.

He told me he was thinking of buying a new ear, guaranteed lo m a k e '{no miles per hour, built by Luke Brennan, noted motor manufacturer.

As ! was Leaving, 1 was greeted h\ Bill Howard of the Stale S u p r e m e Court, who fnid me he was trying a tesi case as to whether a monkey could or could not he classed as a citizen il ii earned money in that Slate. Prof. Engei, noted Darwinist said "yes," John McCaffrey, lawyer, s;ii<i "no." Cms Friedrichs was financing the affair for them.

I heard from conversation that the famous "Wildcats," professional basketball champs, had signed a contract to imir the world and [day the following year. The Wildcats' stars are Parrel!, Fekete an<) i-'it/ gerald.

Then I went home lor d i n n e r . T h e though! struck me that during the day I had either seen, spoken to or heard of everyone who hail been in OUT class at La Salle. W'hal a famous yan.^ they all were and I. simply a regular from West Point; hut. ah, Mich is life. T r a - l u l

Many important features were marked oui for our third year of High School, nil of which turned oul well.

The Junior Prom was another ev.enl of greal importance.

Then we have John Ounsworth, an outstanding feature o s both Hie football am! basketball teams.

The class gave aid to the school by its willingness to perform various functions in promoting bigger ami heller teams. Among the many we have Neumann Stoll, manager of Tennis; Fredrick I'. Bete, newly ap pointed manager of Football, and Robert O'Donnell, Assistant Manager.

William Shea may he truly called a must loyal fooler as can he proved by his presence at all the league games of basketball and football.

As f o r L a n g u a g e s , foil credit must he given lo Brother {lerardian. our "Deiitschcr Lehrer." and Professor Perhac, whose wonderful knowledge of Latin and interesting talks Concerning the language made every fellow overjoyed by bis presence.

We mtisl now hid "Adieu" to the ftrads and wish them success for the future. As for the rest of (he school, they will again hear from us in the coming year.

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. The first new business was a vole casi in favor of class pipes. These were conspicuous throughout the year. A smoking circle was formed by liiiffcriv. Kennedy and McGaughey, Our class records were so good thai we did not want ilirin in In- lost lo future generations, l tence Hie monthly class publication, "The Pacemaker" made its appearance. The paper spoke for itself, and several times we h e a r d il shouting fnun Hie Hi^li

School bulletin board. Cash items were next in order. We registered 1(10 per cent for the seminary drive. Hardly had the echoes of this cash transaction died away when John MeGaughey, our business manager, proposed class pins. We purchased them.

Anything that could not be bought with money we produced through o u r efforts. E v e r y m e m b e r of the c l a s s w e a r s a bronze, s i l v e r o r medal awarded by the typewriter companies. Schmidl and received monthly decorations. Bookkeeping certificates were introduced and these were merited during quarterly tesls.

We combined play with our work. Louis Bodo and Charles Tague were awarded an "L" for football. Louis held a position on the "All-Catholic Team." In basketball. Charles Tague and Paul Sullivan represented us. Paul was selected by local spoil editors, center on Hie "All-Calbolic" and "All-Schulaslic" teams. Kennedy. MarCalla and McCosker were si ill luHgintf at the oars with Hie LaSalle crew when I his book went lo print. In Hie indoor sports, Thomas MacCalla was leading scorer on the swimming team. Joseph Schmidt performed on the piano for the orchestra. Quinn's tactics at basketball, and Carroll's anliws during the two minute class talks may be included in the comic section.

As we close up shop we feel thai the braining we have received at La Salle has prepared us for real service. We leave only tbal we may render more and better service lo Cod and counlry. 11 is to Brother E. John thai we wish to say a w bole-sou led "thanks" for his extreme kindness to us on all occasions and for his unselfish zeal in our regard.

Junior High "B" class came into existence on September N, 11)21. au<! we were entrusted to Brother Declan's eure and tutelage. 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.

During year number two, we were taughl l>y Brother (i- John, and under his care we advanced rapidly in the acquistion of a knowledge of modern history, the mysteries of geometry and the "labyrinths" of Latin.

In Jane, we once more journeyed to l.:turel Springs where as the writers of "Society" news say. "a flood time was had by all."

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. Bream; star fullback. .1, Reed and I). Redmond. Capt.

J. Reed, Lobasuk, Rudden and Redmond formed part of Ih<- first swimming squad of La Salle. "While the class did not partake in Varsity Basketball, they formed a quick and speedy class quintette, which had a very successful season, winning twelve of fifteen games. The two Kellys, "Tom" and "Gy" made up our contribution to the rowing team.

To review tin l>;isi. on September S, I!i2(>. or thereabouts, we became officially known as Sophomores, to the n u m b e r of forty-five all husky youngsters. 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.

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.

Illiiil "11"

Freshman "B"

T

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. T h a t success m a y crown your efforts is o u r fondest wish for you (Stay friend, just a second, I'm very nearly through.)

Pray, meet Professor I'erhac a n d Dr. S l r a u h likewise; they're jusl as good as gold, you know, a n d liked hy all (he hoys.

Oh! s t a n d u p , males, and say God speed, with hlessin^s ffreat, untold, to ail whose faces heani herein, o u r year hook, "BLUE and GOLD.**

Physicftlly and mentally, we c;m compete wiih the hes! of them in the field of endeavor, "(ireal oaks from liMie acorns grow," and majestic edifices are erected on their lowesi layers of stone. We an- the little acorns of La Salle's family tree, and the comer^stonea of its human structure.

There are thirty-four of us in this dass. and like the res! of the hoys in the school, we [•(•cult red La Saile on September 13, 1926, Of course some df us were noi in La Saile before thai date on which we were received by Brother Austin in Room 22. We sunn M,>I acquainted with one another and with one teacher. After ;i IV«- friendly greetings, we entered upon our similes and tried ID Forgel the pleasant vacation days. The President of our c.hiss is William Tobin; the Vice-president, Joseph Calhoun; the Secretary, Varian Singleton, and tin- Treasurer, Prank McKeever.

We had many activities in ehiss during the year, bul we- devoted most of our time lo Hie study of Christian Doctrine, Spelling, Grammar, Composition, History, Geography, Arithmetic and Algebra. Class meel in^s were held about once ;i wed; to discuss subjects thai were of inter csi id us. such ;is basketball, baseball and football. Occasionally during thrso meetings, tin- tnosi gifted members ol tin- class eni.•i-trnnni us wiiii tiniskiil numbers and elocution selections. We shidtcd \r\-\ dili^riilly so thai we mi^lif be promoted to a higher class Jit the beginning of the next school year.

Our motto has been; "A sound mind in a sound bodv." The mind wns developed by means of carefully supervised study; the body, by gymnastics and ;i scries of well re^uK-iUil s|mriv We organized ;i basketball team. ;ind under Hie iiiti>fslii|i of Itinther Cluirles. learned ;i fireal deaJ concerning basketball tactics. Owing to financial circumstances, we were late in forming the team. Consequently we played most of our games on the home floor. They might he termed tnterclass games. 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.
