1863-1946--a span of 83 years which witnessed the gradual growth and development of La Salle. Today the college and preparatory buildmgs are located at Twentieth Street and Olney Avenue. La Salle started at St. Michael's Paroch1al School, 1419 North Second Street. In succession. 11 transferred to Filbert and Juniper Stree1s, to the Bouvter Mansion at 1240 North Broad Street, and hnally to 1ts present beautiful site.

At the present location one is impressed with the style of architecture and expanse of campus. The College building and faculty house have the h1gh pointed gables, steep roofs, and large windows, that its wall space requires. For ornamental purposes, delicate carvings in stone are used throughout. The whole e ffect is one of conservative Gothic splendor befitting an institution of such long standmg educational traditions. The faculty house is situateQ. along Twentieth Street and is connected with the College building at Olney Avenue, thus forming an " L." Between the walls of th1s "L" is the richly ornamented campus quadrangle displaying a rtistically arranged shrubs, flowers and shrines. The remaining sides of the quadrangle a re d rawn by McShain Hall and the massive high school buildmg with McCarthy StadiUm in the rear and the intramural helds beyond.

Advice from an .expert. Mr. Cooke shows the "Blue and Gold'' staff a few pointers in planning a better and more distinctive yearbook-o yearbook such as this one (we hope).

1< thorough going over by the Sports Staff is given to the layout of every page in their division of the year. book. Sports Editor Eroley Wynn discusses the basket路 ball section with his staff.

''Maybe it would be better that way. but I think--." One of the familiar conferences between Brother F. f'ranci,., Moderator of the "Blue and Gold;' and Editor AI Exner.

Full steam ahead! We made it ! Making up for a late start, with feverish activity the "Blue and Gold" staff has produced one of the best yearbooks (we think) in La Salle's history. The "letter" theme-a s1mple one-is adhered to throughout. One of the most striking features of the book is its original layout and divider pages. To Brother F. Francis goes the lion's share of the credit: hrst, lor his time and interest; secondly, for his capable supervision of the various phases of publishing the compendium of our years at La Salle. When we g lance through the 1946 "Blue and Gold" in future years, we'll know it is the result of "sweat and fears" of the stall. The editors worked untiringly to produce an annual which will not only serve as a model for future Senior classes, but which w11l be a perpetual memento of happy school days at La Salle.

The "Wis" had a banner year. All efforts were concentrated on producing a paper livelier than and superior to other school papers. To reach this goal, the staff worked hard to compose "newsier" a rticles and more interesting feature mate rial. Improved layouts gave the "Wis" added attractiveness. Classes in journalism were conducted by Brother G. Robert, moderator, with attendance of underclass staff members compulsory. This assures talent for future issues. Likewise, systems were 1mproved and the office renovated to p rovide g reater efficiency in the "Wistenan's': publicatiOn. Editor-in -Chief John Boland and Sports Editor Charles Wynn did much of the lite rary work, formulated policy, and supervised the others' work. The result-good school journalism.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is constantly assuming gyeater importance as it gains experience from successful events it has sponsored. Dick Malley addresses the Council on student suggestions.

Our first year's experience with student government was highly satisfactory. The council was composed of thirty-four representatives. Each Senior class nominated two, while the underclasses chose one each. The Seniors elected Ross Crumlish, Richard Malley, and Charles Wynn as officers. Joseph Mackin was chosen to be an officer when President Ross Crumlish graduated at mid-year. Some of the more important issues discussed and dealt with were: The Thanksgiving Day Dance, the Senior Prom, the smoking question and preparations for the Malvern Retreat. TOP: The Senior representatives: Seated, P. Sundermann, J. HochstuhL R. Malley, R. Donnelly, C. Dinger; standing. W. Bailey, J. Mackin, W. Oschell. C. McElroy, R. Fisher. and C. Wynn. LEFT: Brother G. Paul presents Sundermann and Oschell with their student council insignia. RIGHT: Mackin and Malley give some underclall'amen a little sales talk.

A few of the parents interview Brother Lewis on the night of reckoning. Judging from the look on Brother's face, everything bas gone well-this quarter.

Good librarians are the result of practical ex perience. With this in mind Brother Godfrey Lewis sponsors annually a Library Aid Group. Students interested in library work act as assistant librari'&ls. Their work consists in cataloging and shelving books. checking them in and out, arranging for hobby displays, des1gning posters, and m general, making the library, a more attractive place in which to work, read, and relax.

A club you say? I'd ca ll it a factory. All other school activities could call on the Poster Club any time lor any job requiring advertising . The club often resorted to mass production techniques to !.ill orders. It always did fill them. A development out of the Poster Club was the Art Club. Its activtties are confined to oil painhng. Under Mr Rocco DeLaurentis路 capable dtrectton, boys with artistic talent can express themselves in color.

Originally a minor activity of the Poster Club, the Ceramic Club came into its own this year. A small electric kiln was purchased last year and work on the production of pottery and glazed porcelain began. Orders for the pins, ash trays, statues, etc., were so great that Brother G . Leo purchased a larger kiln As a result the boys of the club can become real artisans and make their hobby a lmancially paying one.

• • • One issue of the "Wis" carried a cartoon of a letter-wearing giant of the Checker and Chess Club. The physical figure of the giant really was symbolic of the mental stature of its members. Chess, especially, require!l great skill. The members of the club under Brother Ferdinand John's direction last year, and Brother David Lewis' this year, have proved themselves able checkerboard generals. The skill of John Gibbons and Eugene Mcl..oone is especially to be commended.

The late President Roosevelt occupies the chief place of honor among stamp collectors. Our own club, though not too large, nevertheless has been very achve in its meetings. To the uninitiated, how interest can be aroused in such a hobby defies explanation.

Extravagant claims, recriminations, namecallings, and shouting seem to mctrk heated discussions and debates. Such antics are indulged in onlY' by those who haven't had proper training in the conduct of debate and discussion. La Salle's Debating Society, under Brother G. Robert's inspirational direction, teaches its members clear thinking, library research, clear and forceful oral presentation. The season began in January, although numerous intra-club debates preceded league encounters. The question for the Catholic League debates this year is "International Police Force." Whether affirmative or negative, La Salle's Debating Society generally proves so convincing that it usually wins. Its record was four wins and one loss. LEfT: "Look what it says here. This'll wow 'em." Brother G. Robert checks some facts and figures. BELOW: "We of the negative maintain .. ," Gaffey airs his views with gusto.

"When is La Salle going to have a band at its football games?" That question has been heard around La Salle for many years. At long last it appears that a band will be adding to the color and pep of the Fight gridiron games. , Few realize the tremendous problems to be faced in starting from -::~~l~~~ scratch to develop a mustcal organization of th1s kind. The " La Salle Mothers' C:ub" ha s undertaken to supply this need. It has pledgad its financia l support to make both a band and an orchestra a reality . As a result, Brother David appomted Brother Guy Le~s to set up a com1ยงg~~ plete musical program. With unflaggmg zeal and tr~mendous energy, ~ Brother G . Lewis contacted Dr. Jeno Donath and arrangements were made for having instru ctors, purchasing instruments, and arranging the school's curriculum to ht music lessons and practice sessions into it.

â&#x20AC;˘ In our four years here at La Salle, some of the memories that are most vivid revolve around the a uditorium a nd stage. La Salle's Dramatic Society always presented worthwhile p roductions. This year the club, a lthough with a newÂˇ moderator, Brother E. Pa trick, continued the line traditions . Most of the club's efforts are devoted to the produchon of the Senior Play. However, the club has found the time to perform several skits and one-act plays for student body assemblies, meetings of the Mothers' Club and for Parent-Teacher meetings. A stranger unfamiliar with the ways of La Solie could ne-rer detect that the picture below is a sce ne showing high school boys putting on a religious play.

Religious traming, being the foundation of true manhood a nd the grea test incentive to right living, forms a vital part in the school life of La Salle students. Christian Doctrine 1s taught daily in every class. There is a spmtual retreat at the opening of the schqol year as well as a closed retreat for the graduates at the end of the year. ' The Archconfratem1ty of the Divine Child is a religious organization, composed of La Salle students w hose purpose is to invoke God 's blessings on all Chrishan schools, to foster religious vocations, and in general to permeate among the students of the school an atmosphere of Cathohc1ty. Other religious enterprises sponsored by La Salle students are The Catholic Press Exhibit, the Vocational Exhibit, and the annual Religious Pageant.

Having seen some of the p ictures in this yearbook, you'll a g ree that they are of g ood quality. Many of them were produced b y the Photography Club under Brother Daniel's guidance. During the year the club has been broadened. Freshmen have been introduced to the fundamenta ls of photography. They have their own darkroom. A portrait studio has been constructed to g ive the advanced members training in this held. New equipment ha s been purchased to meet the picture demands of the " Wisterian" and "Blue and Gold."

Some members of the Aviation Club are well along the way to obtaining civilian pilot licenses. This they can do because the club, under Brother Felician John's direction, offers training in the theory of flight all the way d own to building models in its own constructed workshop. The club because of its activity has a great many members. It prepares them to keep abreast of the developments m the field o f aviation, thus adding to their education for a modern world.

Horse and outdoor lovers satisfy the urge in them through the Riding Club. Brother F. Joseph's interest has resulted in an outlet for this sort of relaxation. A weekly meeting is held to make arrangements for the short Saturday ride. If a school holiday rolls around a long ride is planned. The club's stables are at Hillcrest Riding Academy near Beaver College. Although the club is small it is one of the best organized clubs in the school.

With new equipment and expert instruction the club members daily learn the finer points of this ruanly art. Intra-club bouts are planned and awards will be offered to qualified students.

The first touchdown of the season for the Explorers w.as a 60-yard pass play from Steelman to Vesey.

La Salle 6, West Catholic 19 Despite the muddy field, both teams scored the hrst time they got the ball, Bagnell for West and Sabia, who played a great offensive and defensive game, on a pass for La Salle. The Burrs wen t ahead with tallies in the second and third quarters despite fierce opposihon from Voigtsberger and Fa n uka .

A faulty deflection of a pass and Ladner's touchdown on another pass play, put Roman ahead 13-0 at the midpoint. The feature play of the day was speedy Frank Brill's 39-yard scoring jaunt in th<:! last period.

Far superior to the foe, La Salle scored the first two times they were in possession, with Murt Nicholas in the fore. Bracken added insult to injury with the unknown in schoolboy football, a field goal from 10 yards out.

The City title came to La Salle as a result of three hard-won victories. Although finishing behind both Roman and South in the regular season, La Salle vaulted over both these teams by winning in the Shaughnessys, and then beat 路Southern for the top honor. The Cahilli tes were an easy mark in the opener, 44-28, but it took fine playing to beat the Pirates and the Rams. Weglicki's great defensive work on Foust and Brown, and Sundermann's on Furey and Silvers were the key 路to wins, 36-30 and 33-23, respectively. LEFT' The Explorers' fight 'fl(aa more

A capacity crowd at South saw La Salle lose, 44-36, despite Phelan's 14 Coleman's long stab with seven seconds left was the margin of victory as North won, 36-35. Now in seventh place, Obie's boys began a drive which netted 8 wins in 10 games and a playoff berth. St. Thomas was fast, 41-20. An upset over the Prep, 24-22, provided the outstanding defensive game of the year. Roman temporarily checked La Salle's drive, 32-29.

Only two losses to North Catholic, the junior circuit champions, and St. Joseph's prep, marred the record Proof of the club's talent is found in the fact that stars such as Donnelly, Wtssman, Connell, Jacob, Cupo and ptvot-man Grauer, all moved up to the varsity as the season progressed. The play of Robb and Covello showed more than just mere promise. The quintet failed to lose any of the extra-league encounters, racking up victories over Germantown Academy, Gratz, Olney, Central. Bartram, Northeast and two over Holy Spirit.

The tabulation crew enjoyed one of ita busiest seasons as high school scoring reached an all-time high. La Salle contributed 062 points in 22 games. Bob McCarron faithfully recorded points.

Averaging 39 points per contest, things were pretty busy in this spot. La Salle's fast team went well over the quota per game in this engagement with Weal Catholic on our home courl

The Freshman basketeers of 1946 compiled on enviable record of 18 wms and 4 losses. Only West, North Catholic, St. Thomas and Salesianum beat them and the latter two by one-point margins. The climax of the season was the decisive win over West Catholic at Convention Hall, 35 to 24, whereby the White Trophy was retained for another year and each player received a certificate and a sweater as an award. La Salle's prospects in basketball for the next few years continue to be very bright in view of this freshman record.

• • The curriculum at La Salle College High School has been designed specifically for those wishing to qualify for entrance into college on completion of high school. Although there is a wide range of electives, certain fundamental subjects are required. The Brothers are well qualified to prepare boys for college work. Although La Salle has grown as a consequence of war conditions, it is essentially a small private school in spirit. Individual attention to each student is stressed. A very elaborate guidance program is provided to assist students to adjust themselves to the school environment and to help them solve their perplexing problems. When a student graduates from La Salle he bears the impress of a strong and virile character which has been patiently molded by the care and interest of the .Brothers.

UPPER RIGHT: The cour.. in Biology consists of much laboratory work as well aa formal lectures. Peering through the microscopes and cutting up (literally) are the two fCf'forite paa-r.:r""'!."....,IIWIIII'-IC!m'""='"--~~-r-.:""1'1 times. Thia introduction to the physical sciences teaches the habits of obse"ation and accuracy.

RIGHT: There are so many occasions when the ability to type comes in nry bandy. Typ· ing enables a student to present much better work in school. Every La Salle student baa the opportunity e f acquiring t.h ia extremely u1eful skill. You soon get uaed to the noise.

LEFT: Many atudenta plan to follow profe..ions in which a thorough knowledge of drawing ia an essential requirement. With a well-equipped mechanical drawing room. La Salle students painstakingly work for the skill that a good drawing requires.

Although La Salle High School has been located at Twentieth and Olney for a number of years. use is still made of the Bouvie r Mansion at 1240 North Broad Street. Old La Salle, as many prominent La Sa:te graduates re fer to it, paternally looks down on the firs t- and secondyear men as they struggle through their high school subjects.

The spnit of 1240 is one of JOvial and almost intimate friendship because of the smallness of the student b ody. Everyone knows everyone else. The same subjects that are taught at the main institution are, likewise, included m the curriculum of 1240. Th1s makes the transfer to the main institution a very Silllple one.

La Salle this year again carried on its tradition of successful Senior plays by producing the very enjoyable "Here Comes Mr. Jordan." Precedent was again broken when a modern and wholly different type of comedy was selected as the Senior production in contrast to the classical drama on which our plays were usually based. The story, which has a lso been made into a motion picture, concerns a boisterous and impetuous young fighter whose guardian angel has called him too soon, and his misadventures in trying to lind another body to live out h1s remaining 64 years on earth. With the help of Mercy Acad emy, the La Salle Players of 1946 merit a hallowed place in our memories of outstanding La Salle productions.

After dancing to a slow, melodious number everyone gathered around the stage to hear a new novelty number arranged by Eliot Lawrence During the intermission the Prom Committee posed for several pictures for the yearbook. The others beguiled themselves by gracefully d raping themselves on cha1fs around the hall and the balcony or drinking refreshing cokes. When the music resumed everyone commented en the good taste of the numbers played-swee t music predominated. To the strains of "Good Night.
