But these are m ore than o rd in a ry buildings. They are a living p a rt o f La Salle.

This staff wasn't caught w ith its co p y down. W o rk on our "m o tio n p ic tu re " them e was rolling a t th e end o f last school year, and by th e be g in ning o f our Senior year, we w ere almost through th e "firs t re e l."

Mr. William T. Cooke of Campus Publishing congratulates Brother F. Francis on the "AllAmerican" 1946 "Blue and Gold."

This most unique them e has con

trib u te d much to our p ublication. The aim o f th e 1947 "B lue and G o ld " sta ff is to make our annual a reservoir o f flashbacks to be drawn upon in th e fu tu re w henever we wish to quench our rem iniscent th irst. Hours o f work have gone in to th e fillin g o f this reservoir; however there is a feeling o f satisfaction in seeing the finished product, which m ore than compensates fo r the tim e and energy spent on it. But to our ch ie f d ire c to r. Brother F. Francis, goes th e most c re d it and the deepest feeling o f g ra ti tu d e fo r his patience w ith our shortcomings and fo r his invaluable guidance.

In October, Mr. William T. Cooke explained the various stages in the work of producing an "All-American" yearbook. After his explanation, the 1947 "Blue and Gold" staff went into full production.

John Kane helps to get individual post cards off to underclassmen advertising yearbook week.

The business staff, Piaiiolla, Fleming, and Brophy, place advertising placards around school to c o n v in c e underclass men to order their yearbooks as early as possible.

John Kane and James Morro get the go-ahead signal from Martin Bukowski, literary editor, before pounding the keys into the late hours of the evening. It was a terrific job to get the copy in on time.

Designing layouts for their section, the sports staff of Costello and Sweeney, under McElrone's leadership, chalked and erased for complete coverage.

Superstition was fo rg o tte n as Brother G . R obert and " th e Big T hree" rolled up th e ir co lle ctive sleeves to publish Volume 13 o f th e "W is te ria n ." W o rkin g with a sta ff o f abo u t tw e n ty-five , th e y spent many hours with the "m id n ig h t o il" to bring th e ir readers an issue e ve ry month. M a rtin Bukpwski, the Editor-inC hief, acquired a ta ste fo r aspirin as he planned each issue, e d ite d th e copy, com posed headlines, and assembled th e dum m y. H e was assisted by H u m b e rt Swee ney, who to o k care o f sports, and A lfre d Flora, who had charge o f features. Brother R obert was al ways on hand to o ffe r his sage suggestions and constructive c r iti cism.

Features Add Sparkle The W is had its S enator Soaper in A l Flora, who b rig h te n e d the e d ito ria l page w ith his WISticisms. These w itty e d ito ria l paragraphs were th e most fre q u e n tly quoted item in exchange columns.

Part of the preparation for next year's "W is" Is the instruction which Brother S . Robert gives to aspiring underclass journalists in the fundamentals of journalism offered after school hours. "W is" distribution day always brings this mad rush of class presidents to the "W is" office. BukowskI struggles with the job of satisfying the demand.

Crowding around to see exactly how it should be done, these shutter-bugs get expert explanations from Brother Daniel or advanced club members on the perfect technique. Their monthly contest photos graced the pages of the "Wisterian."

MODEL SETS F itte d o u t with a la rger kiln than last year) the C eram ic C lub worked m ainly on p o tte ry .

Using

pour moulds, th e youthful potterers made vases, cups and plates. These were embellished with underglaze designs and finished in clear glazes. Press moulds were used to make ash trays and such novelties as S cottie dogs plus articles o f jewelry. The boys have proven themselves artisans in this p ro fita b le hobby. Their work was aqain supervised by Brn+hfir G . Leo. Brother G. Leo never seems to weary of explaining how it should be done. Gradually, Bernier is catching on to the procedure.

TECHNICAL ABTISTS

Mr. Rocco di Laurentis very capably instructs T. Regan in how to daub paints on canvas.

Art classes cater to those who would like to develop their latent talents in this field. Time fo instructions and practice are interspersed throughout the school day and on Saturdays.

A recent a d d itio n to the curriculum here at La Salle was a course in A r t. In its first year, under the supervision o f M r. Rocco d i Laurentis, who studied a t the University o f Pennsylvania, the School o f Industrial A rts and Tem ple U niversity, it accomplished a g re a t deal in fo ste rin g and encouraging the ta le n t o f its members.

changes, among which w ere the com ing o f a new librarian, Miss Elizabeth C u rrie r, and th e com pletion o f th e long aw aited larger e xh ib it case.

R epairing, shelving and

checking books in and out kept this corps busy. They made it an e ffic ie n t and co m fo rta b le place to work or relax.

Our new librarian, Miss Elizabeth Currier, busily attends to the chores incidental to her job in this newly-constructed workroom. The task of keeping books tabbed is accomplished through the checking in and out desk. John Kane supervises this most important procedure.

CHECKEBED CAREERS

FAR MAH COLLECTORS STAMP CLUB This year's philatelists engaged in many a ctivitie s which may become fu tu re tra d itio n s. The collectors visited several exhibitions, held one themselves, and issued a weekly bulletin. Brother Emilian, who replaced Brother Anselm as m oderator, deserves much o f the c re d it fo r its success.

Class officers are elected by each class. The most coveted position is the presidency. These are the 1947 senior class presidents.

DIA“LOeiCIJlMS” HOLD FORTH These debaters take their work very seriously. Brother Cassian explains the interpretation of the high school debate topic for this year.

W ith a team com posed entirely o f underclass men, th e La Salle D ebating Team was again a main conte n d e r in the C a th o lic Forensic League. Under the guidance o f B rother Cassian, the society dis cussed th e to p ic : "Should the U nited States a d o p t a system 'o f socialized m edicine which would be available to all th e p e o p le ? " N o t only does d e b a tin g teach clear thinking and fo rce fu l presenfation o f arguments, it also exposes th e senselessness o f extra va g a n t claims, nam e-call ing, and o th e r m ethods o f b e litflin g opponents. The club, this year, had planned several p ra ctice debates b e fo re th e league season began late in February. As an add e d a ttra c tio n , debates were conducted a t assemblies to show th e student body the manner in which fo rc e fu l and o rd e rly argu ments are presented— pro and con. J udging from the applause a t th e close o f these assemblies, th e ir efforts w ere a p p re c ia te d .

Though the topic is socialized medicine, T. Leonard does not cause the audience to become ill during his club s practicing of delivery.

MUSICAL SCORES: Through the untiring and enthusiastic efforts of M Balasz, ably assisted by Mr. R. Karol, our orchestra achieved great stature this year.

The nucleus o f the instrum ental branch o f our M usic D e p a rtm e nt is the symphony orchestra. This group, which evolved fro m a string o c te t and a tw elve-piece violin ensemble, this year reached the proportions o f a small sym phony.

The team s' successes depend in large measure on th e ir m oderators. M any o f the Brothers are coaches as well as m oderators o f th e ir pa rticu la r sports a c tiv ity . The hope of retaining these trophies won for championships in basketball, baseball, crew and bowling in 1945-46, spurred 1946-47 teams to unusual efforts.

The newspaper accounts never mention the exploits and labors o f the Brothers in the success o f La Salle teams. A ll Explorer athletes join in a rousing cheer fo r th e ir moderators.

Under his own basket, Mario Cupo flys TOP; high to toss the ball beyond Oillespie of St. Joseph. A one-hand hookshot has become the trade mark of George Jacob.
