Vol. 1-No. 1 DETAILS FOR GAINING SCHOLASTIC "L"

PAPER WILL DEPEND ON STUDENT SUPPORT

LA SALLE ENTERS

The Scholastic "L" is the award presented to all students who during the scholastic year have obtained twenty-five gold cards. Two pink cards are equivalent to one gold card; so that the award is within the ability of all students. The scholastic "L" is made of felt, being a gold Jetter bor­ dered with blue.

With this first issue, the student body is once again reminded that its whole-hearted co-operation is absolute­ ly necessary for the success of the WISTERIAN.

The Annual Auxiliary Drive has ar­ rived, its purpose being to procure funds to help the Novitiate of the Brothers at Ammendale, Maryland.

Here young men are preparing to be­ come Christian Brothers. It is pos­ sible for each of us to assist in this work of religious education for a future generation. This is absolutely neces­ sary for our Faith and Society.

Here is a tip to the students: good start is half the battle."

Parental Notes:

"A

Students receive cards weekly, bear­ ing the general averages for the com­ rleted week.· A gold card is received for a weekly average of ninety or more. Pink cards are classed as very good and are obtained for an average of eighty to ninety. A blue card is fair and averages from seventy to eighty. The unsatisfactory reports are found on white cards; they must be signed and returned on the follow­ ing morning, Tuesday, since all cards are issued on Monday. Two white cards in succession are evidence of the student's lack of co-operation in school work, and they are liable to sus­ pension. Three white cards merit in­ stant dismissal.

ORCHESTRA BEGINS PRACTICE

Joe Sciaretta, College Student, Will Lead.

Fifteen students of La Salle High School reported for orchestra practice October 1st, and the orchestra is rap­ idly assuming shape. The orchestra will take part in pep rallies and enter­ tainments. This unit has been in the past a very valuable asset to the school, and especially useful during school activities. This year's orchestra is the largest in many years.

The ensemble will be led by Joe Sciaretta, a college sophomore, and his services are practically indispensible.

The smiling face of Brother Luke will ue missed by his numerous admirers.

Mr. Young, the musical director of the school, will give instructions to any students interested for a small fee.

These instructions in music are val­ uable to the future orchestra candi­ dates. The fine development of this unit in our school will be interesting, too, and appreciated by all the stu­ dents. Brother Bernard is the faculty

This means that every member of La Salle High School, without excep­ tion, is expected to participate in this venture. Much can be done by turning in your subscription as soon as pos­ sible; subscribers will be subject to a charge of $1.00, which covers the en­ tire scho1 astic year. Individual copies may be obtained at any time in the, WISTERIAN office, or at time of issue, when they will be distributed direct to the various classes.

Another means of support can be accomplished by soliciting the patronage of the La Salle alumni, who would in all probability be most eager and willing to subscribe. With this end in view, a special column appears in another section of this issue, devoted ex­ clusively to Alumni News.

Besides financial support, it is de­ sired that there be many contributions of articles and service essential to a school newspaper.

AUXILIARY DRIVE

$1.00 a Year CHANGES IN THt FACULTY There are many important changes in the High School faculty this year.

Some of the Brothers who have de­ parted are: Brother Denis Raphael, the former moderator of the CHEER­ LEADER, who has gone to Pitts­ burgh; Brother William, who presided over a Freshman class and taught mathematics and Latin, has gone to De La Salle College, a branch of the Catholic University, to continue his advanced studies; Brother Dominic Luke, last year's orchestra leader and moderator for the graduating class, who is now at St. Thomas' College in

BENILDE ACADFML.,.__...._

We are glad to welcome to our col­ umns news from Benilde.

Benilde has had a change in faculty this year. Brother Daniel Leo, former head-master, is now at St. Thomas' College, Scranton. Brother Gregory Mutien, for many years a well-known figure in local sports circles, is now teaching at Pittsburgh Catholic High.

Brother Thomas is the new head­ master, and do we like our teacher?

The Benilde's football season com­ menced with an upset at the hands of St. Edward!s to the tune of 32-0. How­ ard. McCrish and Charles McCrish starred for the losers, both playing a great defensive game.

Hauener proved that we have what it takes when we turned back a pow­ erful Notre Dame Academy team, 28-0.

George �woyer was outstanding with his interception of a Notre Dame lat­ eral pass on his own 40-yard line from whence he ran 60 yards for a touch­ down. The Notre Dame captain asked for a return game to be played No­ vember 3. Benilde's schedule is com­ pletely filled with eight games. Watch us go.

JULIUS BLUM WINS SUBSCRIPTION

The subscription the newspaper of­ fered to the student who sent in the best name for the publication was awarded to Julius Blum, of Fresh­ men E. Last year the name of the paper was the CHEERLEADER, but Brother Gerald Charles, the new moderator, and the staff decided that a more appropriate name should be chosen for the newly organized paper. In select­ ing the name, Julius gave the follow­ ing reason: "A quite distinctive name . ,, The �or the locality and the school. committee which awarded the sub­ scription consisted of the editorial staff.

THE MONTH O F THE HOLY SOULS S WE all know, November is the mon th dedicated to the Holy Souls A in Purgatory. This means tha t those of the Church Militant .who are capable of helping the Poor Souls should make every effort to re­ member in their prayers those helpless members of the Church Suf­ fering.

This does not necessarily mean that we retain such noble thoughts and then simply let it go a t that. Rather, we should make every effort to extend this principle to action befi tting a thoughtful Catholic.

-

We should also bear in mind that we are not performing a thank­ less task, in aiding the Poor Souls, because they have in the past proved their ability by intercession to help those- on -ear th -who are needful of some benefit from the Almighty.

H ere is another way of looking at it: We should perform now that which we will expect of others, should it be our fate to spend any length of time in Purgatory. Just another application of the well­ known Golden Rule, which hardly needs elaboration.

DO YOUR PART HIS year the staff of the WISTERIAN has laid pla ns to grea tly T improve the paper. However, it is quite evident that the staff will

be helpless in doing its work unless it has the proper co-operation

from everyone.

The faculty of the

school

has already pledged its support of t he

paper, but the really necessary help must come from the student body.

If the students wish to have· a Student Publication tha t ·will compare favorably with those of larger schools in the city, they must give their

whole-hearted support in every aspect. Everybody must help .
