We devote this little work of our hands to the greater glory of God the Father, whose sons we are; of God the Son, in the shadow whose cross we struggle towards the crown of life; and of the Holy Ghost whom we bear within us. May we, as men of La Salle, carry on for God

and country according to the religious instruction l

we have received.

THE FOUR SIDES OF OUR QUADRAnGLE

The twenty-acre campus of La Salle Ia altuated on the aummlt of a hill overlookinq beautiful Wiater Woods. The heart of the campus is the quadranqle including the Grotto of Lourdes and ihe Sacred Heart Statue. Trees

and ahruba abound on the campua between the main bulldlnq. McShaln Hall. and the coUeqo bulldlnq. The architecture is Gothic In style which allowa for beauti and convenience. These a1trlbutea add up to make It the moat beautiful campus in the city.

This is our school. To us it is much more than a group of beautiful buildings on a spacious campus. It is many thmgs thmgs that cannot be ex~essed in words. La Salle is the good points of every one of its students. Constant association with it for four years makes it a part of us a big part which can never be forgotten. This feeling gives us a certain pride in being a part of La Salle. It makes us want to doâ&#x20AC;˘big things for the honor of La Salle. It brings back pleasant associations of a grand group of fellows who have been molded into fine Catholic gentlemen by the Christian Brothers. They are a big part of La Salle. They introduced us lo the field of knowledge; they helped those who needed help and madE' men out of boys by their constant assistance and guidance. In addition to this La Salle is the prom . . . the football field . . . the Chapel . . . Brophy . . . a basketball game ... the practice field at lunch Lime ... all these and more. This book is our attempt to portray La Salle by portraying its students.

...

For the paat four yeara Brother Emlllan bas put forth bla qreatest ef· fort In the welfare of La Salle. We appreciate very much bls lntorest and work ln our behalf.

When we bscame Freshmen Brother David took over his new office as prln· c:ipal. Tbrouqh these four yeara be has qained our utmost reapect and ap preclation for his endeavors.

Brother David Albert gives his helpful advice to "Moe" Sweeney, as he has done for every earnest student troubled with vocational and scholastic difficulties. He has worked tirelessly to obtain new and helpful information for the benefit of the students. Proof of our appreciation lies in the steady ilow of students to his office. We sincerely thank Brother for his kind assistance. His help will contribute towards our future success.

On the arrival of Brother Clementian two years ago, the office of Prefect of Studies was created to give advice to students desirous of improving scholastically. Brother has fulfilled his duty with outstanding success because of his personal interest in every student. He has well earned the respect and cooperation of the entire student body. We will well remember his untiring efforts on our behalf.

In his two years at La Salle Brother Patrick has held several offices with great success. During his first year he taught Algebra II. In his second, he dropped teaching to take office as Vice-Principal, Director of Athletics, and Prefect of Discipline. His friendly manner has made him a favorite of the students. He will hold a high place in our memories of La Salle.

The typical scene at 20th and Olney on any weekday morning is hundreds of eager students hustling to the campus of their Alma Mater. They come from near and afaras far as Merchantville, N. J., in some cases: they come on foot, by automobile, bus and any other possible means of trans· portation that presents itse lf. These students are filled with the joyful anticipation of another day of happy periods, tests, etc. as they dash up the steps just in time to beat the 8:45 bell and avoid Brother David's a dmit-to-class slips. Then these fellows are confronted by the ingenious combination locks on the lockers. Repeated banging and heavy breathing can be heard as they wrestle with these little demons of distraction. After getting their books, the fellow s congregate in small groups to discuss•various things of varying importance; studies, sports, social activities and in gene ral anything that comes into their minds. f h ese "bull sessions" are one of the highlights of any fellow's school career. The n, after their perilous journey to school. their struggle at the lockers, their exchange of ideas on home assignments . .. on to class.

THE moRninG BEGinS

•

The usual variations of student life are typified here as preparation. comparison, pugnacious caperlngs, and Juvenile fillbusterlnga are at their height.

Who's going to get the short end of this deal? We think it wlll be Brother Eadbert when two "shylocks" like Spillan and O'Brien are concerned.

Students seek late and absentee slips. The Inventors of the best stories aT& awarded yellow slips in place of the customary white ones.

Devotion, respect, and homaqe are evident aa we earneslly beseech God throuqh the moat eHectlve chan路 nel, the rosary of His Holy Mother. lor the qraces and favors which we desire.

Since the institution of La Salle began, the favorite period on the roster of every student has been the lunch period. When the bell announces the conclusion of the preceding period, the famed "battle of the cafeteria line" begins. Then Mrs. McCauley's "favorite sons" partake of the choice delicacies found within the walls of the hallowed "Rainbow Room". After their repast, the studes journey to such adequate hideouts as behind the stands, the equipment room, and similar rendezvous. It is during this leisure time that the widely circulated "Blat" is published. On rare occasions, "O'Bie" gives us exhibitions of his court ability. Almost all the students conclude this period with their daily visit to the Chapel.

"1240" To those of us who began high school at the La Salle Annex, this book would be incomplete without the mention of the o ld brownstone building at 1240 North Broad St. Our two years there were crowded with laughs and humorous incidents characteristic of high school days. In our time there, Brother Francis Regis was principal. Since he has been transfe rred, Brother Clement now holds that office. The enrollment has more than doubled in the two years since we left.

' Have any chocolate bars. Pop?" " Ha•e any chew· inq qum, Pop?" "No sodas this afternoon. Pop?" These and many other interroqations are heard many times each day by everybody's friend.

CLASSES EnD

At a conclusion of another day the students slowly wend their way home loaded down with books and filled with the joyful anticipation of the scheduled homework. p

The hlqhllqht of the day Ia the intramural qames which attract a great number of fellowa to the practice field to participate In these conteata.

The hands on the biq w all clocks about the school creep slowly toward the 2:30 mark, the time when all periods cease, except those conducted by a few of the more ambitious Brothers. At this time, some students pack up their books and beqin their homeward trek, while for the others the day has only bequn. Durinq the fall months football practice is held every afternoon on the practice field. On the lonq winter afternoons, La Salle's quintet has daily practice sessions in the qym while sprinq finds the cindermen hard at work. Throuqhout the year 2:30 means to all the students intramural qames. These are held in all the major sports. Many other extra-curricular activities present themselves every afternoon. Some students are what you would term "campus hanqers", i.e. they spend a\most every afternoon around the hallowed qrounds of their Alma Mater. Then the process of cominq is reversed as the 2:30 to 6:00 students beqin to work their ways homeward. The last straqqlers usually leave the campus as the sprinq sunset reddens the sky or as the cold winter dusk darkens the landscape.

The pride of every graduating class is its Year book. Each class has gone to great pains to make it better than any of the preceding ones. It is therefore with similar pride that we present this 1945 edition of the Blue and Gold. Work on the book was begun at the commencement of the school year. Various positions and tasks were assigned while al the same time our cameramen were busily clicking shutters. We feel that the hours of extra work put in by the staff are sufficiently rewarded in this finished product.

With Brother Anselm as moderator and Senior Tom Sullivan as President, the La Salle Stamp Club worked quite dlllqently this year and obtained many new kinds of stamps. This club haa become rather interested 1n odd stamps since the beqinnlnq of the war.

ORCHESTRA AnD GLEE CLUB Preparations for a La Salle Orchestra and Glee Club were inaugurated this year, and met the enthusiastic support of the student body. Supervising both projects is Doctor Jeno Donath conductor of several well known .symphony orchestras in Philadelphia. Assisting him are Mr. Erwin Groer, Mr. Joseph Vetere, and Mr. Henri Kompasky, teaching the viola and brass, cello and violin, and solfeggio respectively. Dr. Donath directs the Glee Club, which at present consists oÂŁ fifty voices. Students under the direction of these men are receiving the best musical education available in this area. The organization and equipment of the orchestra will require at least another year, while the Glee Club will probably present its first concert in the Spring of '45. Great heights with no lim:ts are expected for this new Blue and Gold activity.

"Behind every La Salle activity . ... Back路 ing it to the lim1t. . . . Responsible in a large measure for its success." That is the description of the Poster Club. Wheneve r an event is announced, this group of artists meets and starts producing the attractive placards which promote the s tudents' support. The Poster Club has been a long established group at La Salle and under the capable guidance Brother Leo has been on hand to g ive the let:!ders of all the activities a helping hand with the support resulting from these poste rs. The club is made up mostly of underclassmen who ha ve become quite adept in the use of the p~t brush. All the posters show a great deal of effort and through the year have been quite in evi路 dence in the corridors and on the bulletin boards around the campus. Surely every affair which is a success at La Salle owes many thanks to the Poster Club.

CERAMICS Another newcomer to La Salle. This group has gone a long way in a short time. Soon after Ceramics was introduced here, attrac路 tive pins began to be very much in evidence. Portraying many different themes, these pins are pottery pieces which have been formed, baked at very high temperatures, colored, baked again and then fitted with clasps. These products were on exhibition in the library during the year and gave the students an idea of the work done by this organization under the leadership of Brother G. Leo. John Kieffer, President of the club, has many assistants mostly underclassmen, all of whom have turned in some very notable achievements. In its short existence this busy group has made real progress and will go further in the future. An interesting hobby, Ceramics caught on immediately at La Salle and can look forward to a bright future.

After the lapse of a year the Catholic Forensic League again began to function. Under the guidance of Brother Denis Willred, two teams composed of semors were formed. Two teams were selected to defend each 'side of the question. The affirmative team consists of John Bresnan, Peter Muessig and Thomas Linahan, the team captain. John McGrath, Thomas Sullivan, and Captain Roberl McMackin cons tituted the l negatlve tea m. Only one loss was suffered as against several wins.

THE PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Despite war time shortages the Photography Club is functioning, offering recreation by enabling students to practice on their own pictures. Its chief function is keeping school publications up to date with pictures. An additional dark room was constructed to accommodate all the needs of developing, printing, and enlarging, and a small studio was furnished for taking posed pictures. Pierre Marcolina, President, Paul Moser, Vice-President, Ed Lagan, Larry Cornell, and Leonard Graziani comprise the active club members.

LA SALLE 34

ST. JAMES 0

The Explorer eleven bowed into the 1944 Catholic League picture very gracefully as they made use of the "T" formation to the tune of five touchdowns, blanking St. James High School of Chester, 34-0. Scores by junior Bill Pfaff, Bill Whiteside, John Garvin, Jim Sundstrom and Mu:t Nicholas smothered the visiting squad, and extra point tries by Bill Gaynor accounted for the rest of the Blue and Gold pointage. Amassing a total of 13 first downs as against 3 for the Bulldogs, La Salle made an impressive debut. Bill Pfaff was the sparkplug of the La Salle model "T", driving for 140 yards. ' LA SALLE 7

WEST CATHOLIC 19

Leading at halftime, the Explorer gridmen were unable to halt a rallying West Catholic eleven who .tucked the ball game under their belt, 19-7. The 18,000 fans gathered at Finnessey Field saw Bill Whiteside complete an aerial to Jim Sundstrom, who tore 60 yards to tally for the Explorers. Gaynor's kick was good. An aerial from Connor to Bogan did the first damage. In the final frame, Connor tossed one to Dougherty who stepped across the line. A few plays later, McGarvey plunged from the 6 to put the Burrs in front by a 19-7 margin. LA SAlLE 14

ROMAN CATHOLIC 0

Scoring twice in the second half, the La Salle gridders gained their second League triumph by downing Roman, 14-0. Early in the third stanza, Bernie Bradley's football aggregation tallied when Jim Sundstrom snared a long pass from Bill Pfaff. Later Bill Pfaff completed to John Garvin who raced to the Broad and Vine 24. On the first play of the final session, Billy Whiteside carried the pigskin into the Cahillite end-zone from the one-yard line. Whiteside kicked both placements to bring the total points to 14. LA SAlLE 27

ST. JOHN'S 0

La Salle's gridders journeyed to Manayunk to topple St. John's High, 27.0, thus continuing their winning ways and garnering the third win of the season. In the opening session, Jim Bracken tallied in the Eagle end zone on a TUTI. Jim Sundstrom scored in the second period and when the placement was good, La Salle led, 13-0. John Garvin and Jim Bracken registered 6-pointers in the third quarter.

LA SALLE 25

SOUTH CATHOLIC 6

The Explorer model "T" machine ran very smoothly over a South Catholic eleven, 25-6, driving to its fourth league victory in five starts. Led by Billy Pfaff, John Garvin and Jim Bracken, each of whom tallied for a score, Bradley's eleven soared to a safe 18-0 halftime advantage. Senior Jimmy Sundstrom scored on a brilliant pass interception play in the third chukker, boosting the score to 25-0. Joe Gorman cashed in on a freak fumble and a long 80-yard dash to give Johnny McGarry's squad its only tally. LA SALLE 13

ST. JOSEPH'S HIGH 1

The 1944 gridders accomplished a "never before" stunt when they bowled over a powerful Prep eleven 13-7. The opening half resulted in a 0-0 stalemate with neither eleven penetrating the opponents 30-yard stripe. Jim Sundstrom broke the ice early in the third period, climaxing a 70-yard La Salle march to put the Explorers in front, 6-0. Only a dozen plays later, Bernie Bradley's squad gave a repeat performance with Sundstrom again tallying. Rallying too late, the Preppers managed to slip a six-pointer across in the final session. LA SALLE 34

ST. THOMAS MORE 19

Fresh from their sparkling win over St. Joe Prep, our Explorer eleven stopped St. Thomas More, 34-19, making them the sixth victim in their 1944 campaign. With Jim Sundstrom and Mart Vesey accounting for two six-pointers each, Bernie Bradley's gridmen pushed the score to 34 in the final period when Billy Pfaff carried the pigskin into the end-zone. Bill Gaynor booted 4 of 5 conversion tries through the enemy uprights. LA SALLE 1

NORTH CATHOLIC 1

Jumping to a first quarter lead of 7-(), our gridmen held the reins in the first half of our final clash of the season with the North Catholic Falcons. La Salle took advantage of but one of three scoring opportunities with Jim Sundstrom tallying in the opening frame. A North Catholic pass and Willis' conversion in the third session were enough to tie the ball game at 7-7. The meeting ended in a deadlock as neither eleven tallied in the final quarter.

A proud farewell to Co-Captains Bill Gaynor and Jim Smith, who led our gang to new heights in football standing! Not many will forget the outstanding open-field running of Jim Sundstrom, nor the determined drives of veteran John Garvin. La Salle will miss such a spirited p1vot man as Bob Rainey and also the "John Does" of the line and backfield

who deserve as much credit as any other Explorer. It was players like George McDermott, Tommy Donnelly, John Drach, Art O'Brien, Benny Ventresca and Bill Zink who helped to put us on top of the pile. They leave the campus and gridiron but their spirit and wishes remain behind to encourage our future teams. They were the bulk of La Salle's greatest eleven. Teamwork, balance and fight were the three assets which carried the team to the top of the League. The 1944 team will long serve as an in路 spiration and model for future Explorer grid路 men.

InJuries, m1shaps, slumps and unfortunate incidents were plentiful and "Lady Luck" was nowhere in sight, as La Salle's Explorers battled through a not too successful court season. W1th everythmg on hand for a Championship five, "O'Bie" O'Brien and the Blue and Gold quintet were buried under "one of those years", when everything seems to go wrong. The 1944-45 basketeers made an impres/ sive debut by topping Germantown Academy, 47-12, with Weglicki and Sunderman garnering 9 each to pace the Explorers. Simon Gratz fell. 57-15, as did Olney, 36-26, at the hands of the Little Explorers. La Salle's neighbor, Central High, became the fourth victim of our courtmen, 30-21, as Weglicki led the attack with 11 counters. Bowing into the Catholic League picture, La Salle laced the Prep, 50-29. on the latter's floor, dropping everything through the hoop but

An outclassed. non-League St. John's team was trounced by an ever-substituting La Salle five, 62-16, with Weglicki again leading with I 1 points. The Burrs visited 20th. and Olney only to suffer defeat, 29-20. Jim Delaney's 20 points went a long way towarqs upsetting the North Catholic Falcons, 41-39.

The fifth defeat in a row was received from the Falcons, 41-33, and though Delaney tallied ·16, the Shaughnessy's seemed far away. Deep in a slump, La Salle dropped another tilt, this time to St. James, 37-33. St. Thomas More followed suit and won by a 3-point margin, 30-27. The Cahillites won a sloppy contest at Convention Hall, 35-25 and La Salle prepared to visit Wilmington for their final clash of the season.

OUR mERmEn HAD QUITE The Explorer Swimming team notched another rung in the ladder of successful teams here at La Salle. Under the capable guidance of Brother E. James and the excellent coaching of Frank Hoelle, the mermen annexed double victories over St. Joseph's, West Catholic, St. Thomas More and South Catholic and one over Roman. The only teams that could defeat us were North Catholic twice and Roman Catholic once. Captain Joe Sweeney showed the way by breaking the 50-yard freestyle record in 25 seconds fl'at. Lou Woyce, another senior, was a valttable point-getter in the 50- and 100-yard freestyles and a member of the record-breaking relay team. Jim Sundstrom, another senior, came out late in the season

and added greatly to the success of the freestyle relay team. Joe Learning, the remain,ing senior, unable to swim in Catholic League contests because of eligibility rules, was a powerful asset in open meets. Bob Regan and Lou Ederer along with the aforementioned senior, gave La Salle the finest group of freestylers in the league. Regan was another dependable point-getter. The 200-yard freestyle was taken care of by Burke, Josberger, and McKenney. The 100yard backstroke was handled by Frank Griffin and Paul Pirhalla. Our outstanding breaststrokers, "Chuck" Garvey and Joe Regan, acquired valuable points. Garvey was also our chief diver while Regan was very proficient in the 150-yard medley team .

STRIKES AND SPARES GALORE â&#x20AC;˘. â&#x20AC;˘

Of all the minor sports here at La Salle, perhaps Bowling is the most popular. Trus is due mostly to the fact thut tlu;;u~ is u Cutholic Bowling League. Although the Blue and Gold team has not been too successful in taking the championship, they have produced many high score rs. Among the leaders this year are: Paul Reuter, Frank Donahue, and Jack Wanner. Toward the end of the season, Reuter had a very high average and passed the "200" mark several times. Jack Wanner is another bowler who attained a high average. Although the team has not produced any Championship medals recently, the outlook for next year's team is rather bright.

The schoolday has passed. the students have completed their evening repast and now in the quiet of their homes they turn to their books. The typical student spends his evenings studying. reading, and listening to the radio. An occasional basketball game. movies or some similar activity may bring him out in mid-week but as a rule he refuses to part with his books and his beloved home assignments. The number of happy hours spent on these extra-curricular studies is immeasurable. Comes Friday. however. and we find books cast aside in favor of movies. parties, dances. basketball games and the other social activities that are the highlights of any fellow's life. 'The belief that a student spends his weekdays in a fog of studies and lives for the weekend has received s ome support, but actually it is not an established fact. As the night progresses and h ead s begin to nod. the fellows pack up their books. switck.. off the radio. and prepare for bed. On the way. most stop in the kitch en for the ever-popular "midÂˇ night snack" and then "hit the road to dreamland".

THE CURTAin FALLS AmiDST mUCH APPLAUSE Reaching a new high this season, the La Salle High School Players literally rode through one of its most successful seasons in years. Brother Denis and Brother Christo-

pher worked hand-in-hand to bring about this great success. The former, as director, selected the plays and parts for the boys, while the latter supplied the scenery and

'1'11 bet you knew how handsome you would look In that uniform even b efore you joined.'' eaya Mary. " I'm qolnq to stick till I b ecome a aerqeant at least," replies Chance.

Mombera of Brothe r Ch ristopher's ataqe crew spend another afternoon In preparation lor La Salle's aonlor play. " A Sliqbt Case oJ Murder.''

"She qela h er own wa' with eYe rybody. eâ&#x20AC;˘en wllb Marko. So you see It's pre tty touqb to be crooked." saya Remy. " Now Remy, you know It feels qreat to be loqltlmate.'' replies Nora.

, stage settings. Mr. Nicholas added the professional touch by offering his sennces in painting the scenery. The dramatic season started with the prod uction of "The Sign of The Four". This was a play in which the super sleuth, Sherlock Holmes, uncovered a very complicated murder. Next in line came the annual Christmas play, "Why the Chimes Rang", given by the underclassman. Then came our senior play. Brother Denis chose "A Slight Case of Murder", a comedy of a large cast, nineteen boys of La Salle and nine girls of Mercy Academy. This comedy of Saratoga racing and mislaid corpses took the faney of every one who came.

A SLIGHT CA.SE OF ffiURDER" ""Gulseppe, don't gi•e them Marko's beer:· Remy says. 'Tm trying to borrow some money off tbs m and I would lib th : m to be in goo:! h :lallh."'

Brother Denis. boys from La Salle and girls !Tom Mercy. all spend ano1her evening hard a1 wo: k In puparatlon lor the corning Senior pro:! uc:aon.

A qroup ol undorc:lassmen assist In makinq a suc:c:e11 ol our annual Christmas play. ""Why the Chimes Bang".

Everyone enJoyed the way Nora Marko, Eileen lee, put on certain antics when her influential friends were around, but when they were nowhere in sight, she became hersell and got along vnth everyone. Remy Marko, Joe Trimly, liked to show off a bit, but he merely wanted to make everybody happy, even though he was rather stupid. Remy and Nom, together with their servants, amused the audience with their Brooklyn accent and then unusual system of taking care of the dead.

The cast were, in the order of their appearance, John St. Clair as Lefty, Jack Smythe as Giuseppe, James Jones as Innocence, Harry Reckner as Mike, William McAuliffe as Chancellor Whitelaw, Ignatius Murray as Douglas, John McGrath as the Singer, James Dougherty as Sad Sam. Joseph Trinity as Remy Marko. Charles Horan as Commissioner Mahoney, Ruth McClain as Miss Smith, Catherine Goldschmidt as Mary Marko, Eileen Lee as Nora Marko, Eileen Ferrick as Madeline, John Hamilton as Theo dore Whitelaw, William Higgins as Kirk, Ruth Carrol as Sally. Lillian McBride as Mrs. Ryerson, Margaret Schaefer as Miss Franklin, Jane Devitt as Loretta Paige, Robert Deevey as Pete Ryan, Robert Sabol as Battling Wolf, Joseph Rich as Cal Ritter, Elizabeth Coleman as Mrs. Ritter, James Cunnion as Clyde Post. Robert McMackin as Colonel Jake Schultz, Frank Callahan and Louis Woyce as the Motorcycle Policeman. J. Hamilton. J, Trinity, J, Douqherty, R. Deevey, J, Smythe depict a tense moment from Arthur Conan Doyle's mystery. "The Siqn of the Four." Brother F. Raymond and Brother Denis Wmred discuss some of the scenic layout and make minor chanqes in the final preparation of the senior production.

REGRETS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Many difficulties confronted the staff this year, not the least of which was the failure to get some very desirable pictures. The war has taken many photographers from the ranks of our professional friends and broken appointments were not easily remade, especially when t{le weather would not cooperate. Other circumstances beyond our control also contributed to our discomfort at the ~ense

of those who should have been pictured in this book.

The Rifle Club and the Tennis Team were not sufficiently organized to make picture-taking practical.

The crew was just beginning and, although we

should have liked to put them in, we just could not.

Rain twice foiled our

attempts to take the Junior Varsity Football team in a group and in action. As a result we have only the eleven men pictured elsewhere in this keepsake of our days at La Salle. We were unable to get the Freshman basketeers together and, as the picture of what we have came late, we placed it among the informal groups. Their names (left to right) when you find them are: }. Kearney, W. Colbridge, F. Wissman, Coach J. Greenberg, }. Grauer, C. Donnelly, and F. Connell. Briefly, but inadequately too, we express our heartfelt gratitude to all our friends for their encouragement and cooperation. Amongst these we must single out Miss Anne McCarthy and her Zamsky crew for their usual cordial assistance; Mr. Cooke for his time and ideas; and Brother Daniel and his photographers for numerous and timely pictures that often saved us embar路 rasslng explanations. fmally we thank our Moderator Brother ::>tephen for his undivided attention in helping produce this book.
