When Angels filled midnight with song. announcing the birth of the Saviour, they, at the same time. proclaimed the gift which the Infant God came to givet-abundant life. "That men might live" was the purpose underlying the Incarnation, the central event in all history. This giving of life to men was the motivating force that resulted in the redemption of men from the shacldes of servitude to the powers of evil. "That men might live" is the propelling force le ading those, who, in imitation of the Divine Redeemer. seek to break the h old with which the enemies of our freedom would b ind us. Our young men and, of particular interest to us. the alumni of our high school, are living out this practical lesson of patriotism, and a re giving of their unselfish devotion that men may live in the peace and charity of Christ. To all La Salle men in camp or on the field of battle. we. in the gratitude and lawful pride of our hearts. dedicate this year book.

In Loving Memory of MARTIN

J, HICKEY, JR.

Who "Went Home" During His Sophomore Year.

As we revisit this beautiful shrine in future years, the modest statue of Our Lady of Lourdes will always recall to our minds our happy associations with a loyal friend , an outstanning ::.tudent, and a Christian gentleman, lor "Marty" was all these. May he enjoy rest eternal in the pleasant company of His Queen and Her Son.

FAREWELL The gayety of this moment is tinged with the sadness of our separation from the persons and things which we have loved and cherished four long years. We shall never forget our campus with its religious atmosphere, the happiness that was ours in the companionships formed

there, and the kindly, somehmes stern, devotion of the Brothers who taught and directed us . Feelings o f regret and gratitude well up in our brea sts ~ we bid all this a fond FAREWELL.

FOOTBALL The Blue and Gold football squad this year attained heights never before reached by a La Salle aggregation. Composed mostly of seniors, and led on by Captam Charlie Schaefer, the team was beaten but twice in the long season's grind. All-Catholic positions were secured by Aug ie Cifelli, tackle; Joe Hofmann, guard, and Tom Donohoe, end. Paul Gibbons, fullback, lim Snyder. center, and Tom Morrow, tackle, dominated t:le second team. Of the remaining players, Vince Hauck, Charlie Schaefer, Charles Donohoe, a nd Abe Reilly received honorable mention.

Ha uck converted by placement. LA SALLE. 25; SOUTH CATHOLIC, 0 In the initial league contest, the Explorers scuttled South Catholic for another 25-0 victory. Gibbons tallied two touchdowns.

LA SALLE. 18; ROMAN CATHOLIC. 0 La Salle's hard-running and fast-stepping squad kept up the torrid pace against Roman. Pete Villari chalked up the first six-pointer on a 55-yard run-back of a punt. The famed triple reverse worked twice for scores with Hauck tallying from the 20 and then from the 35. LA SALLE. 25; ST. JOHN, 6 The Eagles scored the first tally of the season against La Salle after the Bondermen took an early lead. It was a rejuvenated team that came out in the second half to score 19 points through the effort of Vince Hauck, Charlie Schaefer, and Joe Hofmann. LA SALLE, 6; WEST CATHOUC, 6 Adding a storybook ending to a game that glistened with hard. thrilling action throughout, the Explorers of La Salle evaded a near-certain West Catholic victory when Char he Donohoe snatched a partially blocked pass from Charlie Schaefer and scampered live yards for the touchdown that knotted the count. A pass from Leo Dillon to Dan Brown from the twelve had put the Burrs in the lead.

LA SALLE. 6; NORTH CATHOLIC, 7 North Catholic clawed us with seven pomts in the last period to snatch an apparent victory from our grasp. This was a tough one. Paul Gibbons and Jim Dugan, respective fullbacks, counted on line plunges from the one-yard line, but Jim Begley, stellar Falcon end, added the all-important point. LA SALLE, 19; ST. THOMAS MORE. 0 It was indeed a field day f0r La Salle as three advances ended in scores and a fourth was halted on the one-foot line. Tom Donohoe tallied on a pass from Schaefer. Vince Hauck. chalked up another on a reverse and Pete Villari scored the .. last marker of the day around left end. LA SALLE, 0; ST. JOSEPH. 6 A penalty, a long pass, and then a short plunge furnished all the scoring in the annual classic between the two schools. St. Joseph, with Jack Small carrying the hall, tallied from within the three-yard marker in the second period. After that, the game was nip-and-tuck with Tom Morrow, Gus Cifelli, Joe Hofmann, and Jim Snyder doing sensational work in the Explorer line. OUR SQUAD

LA SALLE, 12; HARRISBURG CATHOUC, 7 Roaring back with a last-minute score to offset a 7-6 deJicit, the Blue and Gold-clad Explorers snatched victory from defeat. With but seconds to go, Charlie Schaefer lunged over for the counter. Previously, Paul Gibbons had counted a score for La Salle. Brilliant in victory was La Salle's gallant line, wh1ch, led by Hofmann, Cifelli, and Morrow, continually staved off the thrusts of the opponent's powerhouse backfield. Thus it ended, a season packed with all the thrills and excitement ever desired. We had a team that fought best when the chips were down and marched on against the best of them. We will never forget this year's football team . _ . the gridders of 1943.

The La Salle High Basketball team, riddled by graduation, did not quite measure up to the standard set by last year's Catholic State Championship squad. The Blue and Gold, tutored again this year by Joe Meehan, and captained by Bill Maher, won five league encounters and lost the remaining eleven. finishing sixth in the final standings. Bill Maher, all-Catholic center again this year, was the high scorer on the squad and the leader throughout the campaign. Joe Greenberg. Ray Nolen, and Tom Donohoe were the other senior lettermen. Tom Byron, Gerry McGeehan. Vince O'Donnell, Chuck Thompson. and Jim Reagan were the underclassmen who received letters. The team did not start off auspiciously in practice tilts as they lost encounters to Central, Simon Grantz, and Southern before they achieved their first win-a brilliant 26-24 thriller over Trenton Catholic High on the home court.

CATHOUC LEAGUE GAMES W. Maher, Captain First Half St. Thomas More came to La Salle's court on December 18 to open the league campaign. The Golden Bears went home with a close 19-14 victory. In the next game, Salesianum edged out a 24-22 victory on La Salle's home court before West Catholic conquered our courtmen to the tune of 39-25. The Blue and Gold then showed its top form of the season in toppling Roman Catholic, league champions. in a close tilt by a 29-28 count. Bill Maher led La Salle's offense with 16 markers. The Explorers continued their winning ways with a surprising 28-26 victory over North Catholic on the latter's court. St. Joseph's Prep then engineered an impressive 34-22â&#x20AC;˘ triumph over our squad. In this encounter, the Stiles Street boys' height was just too much for La Salle. On Fnday evening, January 22, the "Men of Meehan" registered a brilliant victory over a highly touted five from South Catholic. Joe "Hank" Greenberg was the Blue and Gold star in this fray. To finish the first half of the league season, St James defeated La Salle. 49-35. It seemed that every shot the Chesterites took caught in the hoops. while La Salle just could not keep pace with their terrific scoring power. The Blue and Gold, however, produced their greatest scoring surge of the season Second HaU C. Thompson West Catholic, the team that eventually finished first in the regula r season. toppled the Explorers to the tune of 44-32 in the first game of the second half. After St. Thomas had jolted our boys, 25 20, an inspired La Salle quintet, led on by Bill Maher's great playing, edged out a 33-32 victory over the Falcons of North Catholic. In thP. next several games, Roman Catholic surprised with a 40-19 vict~ry. South Catholic avenged a previous defeat and won, 31-27, and St. James duplicated its previous showing with a 38-25 splurge. before La Salle won its fifth and last league encounter at Wilmington from Salesianum by a 33-31 score. St Joseph then beat out the basketeers in the final game , 33-20.

Five wins and eleven losses may not be considered such a brilliant record, but it must be noted that La Salle did not fall in to any consistent losing streak. The team did not, a t any stage of the season, lose more than three .... games in a row. Whether that is an accomplishment or not is debatable, but it shows what a scrappy, fightingfor-every-win ball club we had. Next yea r our Alma Mater will have back Tom Byron, Jim Reagan, and Chuck Thompson for Mr. O'Brien to mold another championship outfit. The J.V. squad lost all but one game, but several freshmen showed signs of great p romise. Members of the J.V. team who stood out were Bill Gaynor, Johnny Ka ne, Paul Sundermann, John Donohoe, and Johnny Weglicki.

The 1943 edition of the La Salle High Track team has high hopes for the coming league season. Six lettermen return to this group and Brother F. Vincent, indeed a track enthusiast, has taken over as moderator of the team. "O'Bie" O'Brien is again coach. Vince Hauck, senior speedster and captain of the cindermen, capably handles the I 00, the 220, and the shot put. Other lettermen are Joe Markmann in the discus, Joe Bolger and Vince Greenfield, hurdlers, Harry Schmidt, middle distance man, and Chuck Boyle, high ranking high jumper. Combined with these holdovers are seniors Jack Dailey, Bob Foster, Bill Kelly, Harry Bender, Ed Speitel, and Joe Kane.

John St. Clair, Ed Suchy, John Kelleher, Pete Muessig, Bill Gaynor, Al Hartnett, and Jack Gallen are the most promising of the underclassmen. This year there is a regularly organized league with each team meeting the others in triangular meets. The first meet brings together St. Joseph, West Catholic, and La Salle. At the finish of the season, the cbampionships will be held and many of the Blue and Gold squad should rank high in this annual tournament of champions. Brother Vincent also undertook to guide the destinies of our Cross Country squad, composed mostly of sophomores and freshmen. Sophomores John St. Clair, Frank Burns, William Spillan, and William Taylor won their letters while Charlie Mahoney, Pete Muessig, Lou Woyce, Al Pezzillo, Sam Keough, and Tom Linahan rounded out the squad and gained valuable experience.

On October l, the candidates for the Swimming Team met at the Germantown YMCA . After two months' p ractice, the natators met several teams of the Public League. In these dual meets, La Salle defeated Germantown, Olney, and Simon Gratz. but suffered defeats from Northeast and West Philadelphia. In the Catholic League, competition was more spirited than ever. Nevertheless, La Salle finished in third place. In dual meets with St. Joseph, the champion, and West Catholic, the runner-up, the swimmers

lost by very close scores. All other teams were beaten and South and North Catholic tied once. The highlight of the season was the Individual Championships held at Penn's Hutchinson Pool, March 18. La Salle produced individual champions in Ed Speitel in the 100-yard breaststroke and Bob Kitson in the 100-yard backstroke race. Bill D'Arcy, who had been improving all season, annexed third place in the breaststroke. Joe Sweeney captured a second in the 50-yard freestyle and a third in the

century race. The Medley Relay team climaxed its streak of consecutive wins for two years stra ig ht by capturing the relay championship. The team, composed of Kitson, Speitel, and Walt Baumann, churned through the waters in the fast time of 1:32.7. This La Salle trio also holds the record for the 150-yard Medley relay: 1:32.4. In all, La Salfe finished second to North Catholic !n the championship meet. Following the January Commencement, the team lost its capable and congenial coach, Jim Kennedy, who left La Salle to pursue Medical Research at Penn. Kennedy, in his four years as coach, accomplished much in building up the sport here at La Salle. The Athletic Authorities then confided the destinies of the team to Wyn Brady and Frank Burke, members of the college team, who aided the team greatly. During the past season, the La Salle mermen were led by Captain Dick McGrath who showed the members the way by his devotion and competitive spirit.

Dick not only strengthened the team by his fancy diving, but also gained many need ed points in the backstroke. Ed Speitel, the other Senior, could always be depended upon to get his first in the breaststroke a nd to bolster up the relay team, He was likewise the high-scorer of the team for the second season. The Junior Clas') was well represented by Bob Kitson, yYal路t Baumann, Jack Cullin, Bill D'Arcy, Ed Suchy, AI Coyle, and Matt Ovemack. The Sophomores produced Joe Sweeney, the most +mproved swimmer in the League, Bill Maher, Lou Woyce, and Tom Weyr, as we11 as the efficient ma nager, Marty Teller. The Frosh came through with Tom Crane and Joe Burke, two mighty fine swimmers. Paul DeFeo, Ray Loux, Joe Barry, and Frank Kirk gained in experience and during the coming seasons should make La Salle proud of their accomplishments. In all, the past season will go down in history as the best an<;i the capable moderator, Brother E. James, confidently looks forward to next year as the路 y under the new leadership of COP.:tgilllf Kitson.

TENNIS

The Tennis outlook is not so bright for the present year, but who can say what v,;ill happen after we go to press. With practically an "All-Freshman Cast," w ith the exception of Bob Price, a junior, and Joe Smith, a sophomore, La Salle looks forward to greater success in the not-too-distant future.

CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders were once again, as in the past years, an important part of the La Salle athletic endeavors. Clad in their classy Blue and Gold uniforms, the "rah-rah" boys often brought out that extra something that turned a fighting Explorer squad from defeat to gallant victory. Tom McGorry, Ed Warren, and Bill Kelly were the senior cocaptains of the outfit. They were capably assisted by Jimmy Martin and Jack Carroll, sophomores. Others who brought rousing yells from the spectators were Ed Stemler, Marty Walsh, Jim Dougherty and Bob Valenti, all freshmen. Brother E.

The Archconfrate~ity of the Divine Child has completed its second year of revival under its moderator, Brother G. Patrick. The weekly meetings of the chapter consisted chiefly of study clubs, which had the Holy Mass as their subject of discussion. A talk was prepared by a student for each meeting, touching on the origin and significance of the various phases of the Holy Sacrifice. On March 14 and 15, during the annual Vocational Exhibit, the group presented a pageant depicting various religious orders of men. The students, garbed in the robes of their respective communities, gave brief descriptions of the history, work, and qualifications of "their" orders.

A specicil word of praise is due the students who continued their membership from last year, thus enabling the club to pass through its most difficult period of existence. Next year the club will have senior members and consequently will include in its ranks students from all classes. '

DRAMATICS The La Salle Dramatic productions of 1942-43 were undoubtedly the greatest in the history of the school. Brother Denis and Brother Christopher combined to bring about this success, the former as coach, the latter in charge of the stage. The scenic arrangements by Mr. Charles Nicholas gave the productions the completeness characteristic of the professional touch. Warming up with a short comedy, "Net Results," and rolling along with "Our Lady's Tumbler" and "Why the Chimes Rang," the Dramatic Club really settled down for a long siege on Sheridan's "The Rivals." The memories of the students of St. Mary's Academy and of La Salle High School in their various roles during this season will always remain as pleasant ones. The leading roles went to John Beaty as Captain Jack Absolute and Rita Boyle as Lydia Languish; Joseph Trinity as Bob Acres amused us no end, while Loretta Daly as Mrs. Malaprop executed the King's English in elegant fashion. Supporting members of

Next came "The Tell-Tale Heart," acted in the Philadelphia Catholic Schools Forensic League One-Act Play contest. Andrew Me,. · Cosker received first prize lor the best acting in the contest. But this was not the end, lor our zealous theatrical group had yet another spectacle to present: "Born of the Spirit," a Passion Play in two acts, written by Brother Denis Wilfred, who continued his work as director. The play depicted the events of Our Lord's life immediately following the last supper: the Agony, the mock trials, the trial by Pilate, and finally the Crucifixion. Woven into the plot was the story of the loyalty of Nicodemus and his efforts to save Jesus from the villainy of the Jews. " Shea aa headatrong aa an allegory on the banka of the Nile." " Stay.

LIBRARY Day in and day out students pass through the library portal to study, to browse, and to search the "fountains" of knowledge. Little do they realize the work that is necessary to keep the books in circulation. In grateful appreciation, therefore, we dedicate this little page of the Blue and Gold to the Library Staff. The Library Staff was formally organized this year by Brother Godfrey Lewis, the present librarian. It is made up of a select group of students, whose job it is to assist the librarian in his work. Several of their duties are: a day's assignment behind the charging desk, preparation of books for circulation, distribution of library notices, and

the planning of exhibits. The members gain an intimate knowledge of the library collection through practical ex-路 perience. The Staff is made up of Edward Wood, John Shellem, John Evans, and Carlo Salzano, all of whom can be easily recognized by their distinctive arm-bands.

CLASSICAL CLUB The purpose of the Classical Club is to foster interest in and promote acquaintance with the civilization of the Greeks and Romans and their influence on modern life. The club sponsored the showing of lantern slides this year and trips to museums. The members are James McGinnis, Consul, John Williams, Secretarius, John McLoone, John Shellem, George DeRyke, and John Kieffer. The moderator is Brother F. Vincent.

DEBATING Under the guidance of Brother G. Robert and Brother Denis Wilfred, the La Salle High School Debating Society claimed its fifth consecutive Forensic League Title. Debating both sides of the post war organization question, the defending champions met and defeated their first five adversaries, faltering only in the last contest against West Catholic. The brunt of the season fell upon two seniors, William Burns and Sidney Burgoyne, and a junior, Charles Laferty. This trio deserves hearty praise for upholding so successfully what has become a most cherished tradition of La Salle.

AIRPLANE CLUB ..... During the past semester, a new La Salle activity was introduced , embodying the construction and primary flight characteristics of airplanes. The moderator, Brother Denis Raphael. has a roused considerable interest in this topic among the students. At the present time this interest is of un doubted importance and it is hoped that in time this club will develop into a regular course. The spirit of the g roup was reflected in the activity shown in the meets held regularly each week. The club sponsored a glider contest in May, but results are not available as we go to press.

La Salle has been given occasional touches of color and inspiration by the. works of the Poster Club. The club was or- "' ganized to promote school activities and has fulfilled this function well. Streamers for pep rallies and campaigns, posters for football games, drives, dramatic activities, and many other events all challenged the ingenuity of club members. Meetings were held twice a week in a special club room, but when work was pressing, it was not uncommon for the boys to meet daily and even on holidays. Pictures of T. Martin, f. Wilson, VicePresident, and fames Donnelly appear on the Activities Divider page.

Once again, the rifle team has concluded a highly successful season. The following club students earned their letters as members of the team: Jack Lagan, Captain, Larry McDonald, Walt Petri, John Comyn, and William Scanlan. Other members were Joe Reilly, John Quinn, John Heilmann, Thomas Schalata, and Peter Your!. This year the club sponsored a program, authorized by the National Rifle Association, to teach members of the senior class the fundamentals of rifle shooting. Four members of the club were entered in the Junior Outdoor Championship Pistol Match sponsored by the National Rifle Association: John Lagan, Lawrence McDonald, Wa lter Petri, and Thomas Schalata. Furthermore, we have entered a six-man team composed of John Lagan, Lawrence McDonald, Waller Petri, Thomas SchaTata, Hugh Maguire, and Peter Yourl in a match sponsored by the Open Road for Boys Magazine. In addition to this, the following have qualified as Sharpshooters or better: James Conboy, Thomas Donnelly, John Heilmann, John Quinn, and Joseph Reilly. All the member will participate in an intramural match sponsored by the Scholastic Magazine. Getting ready for Uncle Sam. We mi.ued Reilly in the other pictures. Here he keeps the score while Brother Damian gives a few instructions.

THE NEWSPAPER The editorial board which so successfully headed the WISTERIAN last year continued its guidance through 1942. Moderator of the paper is Brother Denis Wilfred who succeeded Brother Stephen. When many of the seniors left for college in January, the WISTERIAN lost two of its leaders in Joseph Gemgross and James Shoemaker. Sports editor Edmond Speitel also resigned to fill the same position on the yearbook staff. The new staff was headed by Joseph Connelly as Editor-in-Chief. Other important positions were filled by Joseph Hood, Managing Editor, Harry Schmidt, Sports Editor, Andrew McCosker, Feature Editor, and Charles Laferty, News Editor. May and graduation saw a third staff chosen with Charles Laferty as Editor-in-Chief. Other key jobs were filled by John McLoone, Louis Goelz, Thomas Linahan, and William Loughery. Though they are too numerous to mention, special merit is due to all the staff members, for it is through their efforts that the paper was made possible. Seated: E. Speitel, J, Shoemaker. J.

THE YEARBOOK As does every year book, the 19~3 Blue and Gold explains itself as the kind reader turns one page after another. Only the story of the labor and time consumed by moderator and staff is not told. We want the present year book to be but a collection of memories to remind the seniors of their days of high school fun and study. We want it to remind them of the associations formed here at La Salle and to inspire them to follow out to the letter the instructions, particularly the religious instructions, that they absorbed in this All-Catholic atmosphere.

SENIORThe two principal events sponsored jointly by the Alumni and Seniors were the Prom and Communion Breakfast. Innovations in each of these functions were necessitated by war conditions. .. Chronologically the Prom took place first at the Warwick Hotel Ball Room with "Chuck" Gordon leading his band.

The year 1942-43 has been fraught with new burdens, anxieties and uncertainties. Yet despite the troublesome times the Mothers' Club of La Salle has added new successes to its already brilliant history. By any standard, this has been truly a banner year. Two weeks after the opening of school the Mothers' Club Board of Governors welcomed the mothers of the incoming freshmen at the Annual Freshman Tea. The fruits of this first meeting were seen a fortnight later when the Sophomore Mothers conducted Freshman Night. Mrs. Frederick J. Gemgross, the President of the Mothers' Club, delivered a heartwarming address of welcome, while Brother David, F.S.C., Principal of the high schooL acquainted the parents with the duties of the students and outlined the benefits they could expect to achieve. Parents then made the acquaintance of the Brothers who taught their sons and discussed with them the problems of the individual boys. Launching into the sphere of religious activities, the Annual Communion Breakfast was held on the first Sunday of November. Mrs. Dennis Fahy was the chairman of this activity. She was ably assisted by the Class Representatives. Brother C. Edward, F.S .C., VicePresident of Manhattan College, was the guest speaker. Outstanding in the memory of all friends of La Salle is the Variety Show, a novel entertainment for our Mothers' Club. This proved to be the social highlight of the year. Mrs. Joseph McCoy presided over the Variety Show Committee and a large measure of the evening's success was due to her untiring efforts. Of course, the climax of each year's social calendar is the affair we enjoyed Friday night, May 7. Five years have seen La Salle Night grow in extent and in popularity, and this year's event proved no exception. For the second time within the year another innovation took the fancy of all La Salle friends-the brightly painted card tables featuring the names of our patrons. The many successes of the Mothers' Club are in no little measure due directly to the unstinted generosity of Mrs. F. J. Gemgross, President, and her associates.
