LA SAllE TODAY

To change, to grow, to improve is the essence of human existence. It is a challenge difficult to face, yet impossible to avoid. The static world, like the water before a dam, becomes stagnant and refuses to support life. The dynamic sphere, however, flows like the stream having already passed the dam, leaving the unnecessqry behind while moving rapidly into the future.

Bubbling with enthusiasm and possessing a limitless spring of energy, the adolescent also feels this challenge of change. As the fantasy world of daydreams slips from his grasp and he begins to experience great physical maturation, the teenager strives to progress with his shifting environment. Since his ability to adjust is not merely beneficial, but, instead, absolutely vital, the uncertain young man searches for help to assist in planning both his present and future. The relationships formed during his high school years with his teachers and fellow students provide this essential aid.

Mirroring these four crucial years of transformation, development, and advancement, the 1968 BLUE AND GOLD presents a vivid, vibrant portrait of the friendships, trials, and rewards encountered at La Salle. It endeavors to produce, through its own acceptance of change, an eternal echo of the dynamic atmosphere permeating our school.

DEDICATI ON Men of strong personal convictions, willing to make unorthodox decisions, are frequently given only a minor role in an established institution. This, however, is not the ca se at La Salle. For the past five years BROTHER CARL CLAYTO N has distinguished himself in his many responsibilities a s VicePrincipal. Though personally preferring to teach, he realized that administration is necessary and has used his a da ptable personality to increase his effectiveness in improving teacher-student relations.

Brother Carl has done the most for La Salle through his outstanding qualities of personal warmth and understanding; qualities so often absent in effective administration. He has brought not only competence but a lso a concerned mind and on appropriate wit to his routine chores. His responsiveness to the students' desires and his interest in their activities has enabled him to help initiate the p resent curriculum changes.

Since Brother came to La Salle, his handling of une nviable responsibilities in administration has established him an outstanding reputation in this fie ld. Instrumental in organizing last year's evaluation by the Association of Middle Atlantic States, he spearheaded the impetus which brought La Salle its present scholastic program.

Others have assumed the task of a d ministration, but rarely with the enthusiasm of Brother Carl Clayton. Because of his concern, foresight and involvement, the 1968 BLUE AND GOLD is appropriately dedicated to him.

Identifying with the dynamic world of today, La Salle has shared in the reorganization of the learning process, presenting the student with a more meaningful curriculum. From specialized work in the sciences, through intensive analysis in the social studies, to independent research in the humanities, a new educational experience is emerging.

Change has not weakened past traditions; rather the traditional structures have undergone a closer evaluation, emphasizing both individual and collective development.

Adapting to contemporary standards, La Salle has achieved a cultural continuity with its original philosophy. Within such a framework, the student can realize more fully his own intellectual and social expansion.

AND NEW

7

"Everything is changing-you, your family, your neighborhood, your education, your job, your government, your relation to others, and they're changing dramatically." ,\\arshall Mcluhan Perhaps the most dramatic personal change occurs during adolescence when the youth begins to perceive a myriad of relationships pervading his life. At first, frightened and confused, he later becomes self-assertive, relying totally on the concept of change as a panacea for all problems. To him, all things must change: his government, his school, his friends, and his par路 enb. Often the young man forgets that he needs to alter himself; to grow out of the rigidity of prejudice and into the flexibility of being open路 minded. This continuous evolution is an intricate phase in the processs of maturing.

IT IS THE IMMEN S E MASS OF UNDISCIPLINED 8

He grows, blooms, fades , and dies.

WE MUST BREAK

Aware of talents he once overlooked and conscious of deficiencies which he sometimes failed to admit, the adolescent undergoes a complete re-eva luation of himself. He develops each facet of his personality a nd identifies with the creative forces which give him a meaningful understand ing of who he is. And here lies the challenge. The insight into his personality introduces the forces necessary for adolescent developmentforces which shatter childhood complacencies ond leave him bewildered.

Consciously striving to control the forces which seem to overwhelm him, the teenager begins to recognize his potential talents and acknowledge his apparent Inadequacies. This conscious striving towards se lf-control enables the young man to foresee his potential talents becoming realities and to accept his inabilities for what they ore.

Having arrived at an honest a ppraisal of himself, he learns to respect himself as a person. And this respect gives birth to a new self-confidence; o belief in what he con and cannot do; a feeling of establishment in the real world. Thus, in a n atmosphere of doubt and uncerta inty, confusion and order, meaningful relationships are formed.

Faded valleys of doubt ascend slowly, painfully, to #offering peaks of unsteady peace, descend swiftly, blindly, to echoing hollows thundering with fear.

As a man establishes himself in life, he realizes a certain hostility around him. Withdrawal and regression often seem necessary. In turning back into himself, man turns away from the world and may destroy himself and his associates, and retreat retards further personal development. The world, then, becomes vague and loses its meaning. Individual problems are submerged along with personal responsibilities.

Rising above himself, however, man progresses towards a growing awareness of the world, others and self. In such an atmosphere, he becomes vibrant and full-filled with life and with the desire to accept its realities.

To dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbeatable foe, To bear with unbearable sorrow, to run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong, to love pure and chaste from afar, To try when your arms are too weary, to reach the unreachable star!

FACULTY AND ACADEMICS

Whether in an English class, or on the intramural field, or in the guidance office, there is no typical La Salle teacher. For one instructor, the classroom offers the best opportunity to convey his understanding, another exerts a greater influence in athletics; still another finds satisfaction in guiding students toward college. But in coaching or discussion, demonstration or lecture, seminar or guidance, the La Salle faculty attempts to show the student some sense of order amidst the uncertain environment of adolescence.

Within their own lives, these teachers are active in both social and intellectual pursuits. Ranging from adult education to government poverty programs, such activities complement the scholastic program.

Not only does a teacher prepare his students in furthering their education, but they also give them some insight into the operation of modern society. When a student leaves La Salle, he should be able to see past imperfections and realize the spirit of responsibility and conviction inherent in his school life.

ADMINISTRAT ION Far from silently observing the changes taking place at La Salle the administration itself has become immersed in the renewal.

Perhaps no one member of the administration demonstrates this involvement better than BROTHER EDWARD GALLAGHER. Aside from his responsibilities as Principal and Director of the Brothers' Community, Brother has altered the traditional concept of school principal by becoming a teaching member of the faculty. As a teacher, he instructs the freshmen in the Science of logic. This concept of a teacher-principal is symbolic not only of the now closer union between the administration and the student body, but also the personal concern Brother has for the outcome of this year's curriculum revisions.

Brother Edward not only works within the framework of La Salle, but he also involves La Salle's faculty in such organizations as the Private Schools Teachers Association and the Germantown Area Schools Project. As a result of Brother Edward Gallagher's awareness of the needs of contemporary education, La Salle continues to pursue all avenues of academic excellence.

With La Sa lle's new dive rsified program of studies, the administration has faced greater responsibilities.

These necessitated the creation of the new position of Assistant Principal of Student Affa irs. BROTHER MICHAEL COYLE, former principal at St. Francis Vocational School, has ably undertaken the duties of this post. In addition to these obligations, which include discipline and attendance, Brother moderates a junior homeroom and teaches Religion in the Junior Department.

Instru mental in affecting the current changes at la Salle, BROTHER CARL CLAYTON is also engaged in both the administrative and educative realms. Relinquishi ng his d isciplinary duties to Brother Michael Coyle, Brother Carl now centers his academic talents in the a rea of rostering and curriculum programming.

Through his sophomore Religion classes as well as his seminars in the Humanities, Brother Carl has also realized one of his ardent desires- to teach.

GUIDANCE It is during the high school years that the student initially encounters the realities of the adult world. In order to successfully cope with these realities, students need the advice of experienced adults to help them plan their future. The guidance program at La Salle efficiently handles these important facets of development. Through the aid of his guidance counsellors, the student leaves La Salle well-prepared to meet the challenges of the modern world.

The years immediately following the Second Vatican Council hove produced mo re changes in Christian thinking than any other period in history. It is of the utmost importance, therefore, all Christia ns understand and evaluate these newly formed conce pts. This is especially true for the young who ore at the stage where they begin to form the ideals which will serve a s g uidelines for their future actions. Under the direction of the excellent La Salle religion deportment, students examine these new ideas as well as the fundamental principles of Christian living.

The Religion courses at La Salle extend beyond the realm of the classroom. Besides analyzing many of the concepts of humanity, the Religion courses cover the basic liturgical practices of the Catholic Church, thus, making such things as chapel-service more significant.

Some studious juniors investigate various aspects of Ecumenism by consulting research materials in the library.

ENGLISH Responding to the needs of the student in a changing culture, the English deportment at La Salle has revised its curriculum to match the communicative processes of the twen· tieth century. While the English language is rich in the great literature of such geniuses as William Shakespeare, Ernest Hemingway, and Robert Frost, it also feels the impact of the controversial works of Marshall Mcluhan, William F. Buckley, and Allen Ginsberg; each of these must be dealt with if La Salle is to have a complete English program. La Salle has incorporated courses dealing not only with the novel and poetry but also with media and journalism into a compre· hensive course of study.

SOCIAL STUD IES Perhaps one of the most important subjects a student will take during his high school career is Social Studies. Through an understanding of the past he is able to overcome the problems of the present and to face the challenges of the future. At La Salle the entire spectrum of History courses is offered, each one giving the student a keen insight into the political and social aspects of the variety of peoples in the world community. In essence, then, each La Salle student will be prepared better to face life with his historical knowledge of past victories and defeats.

Shutting himself from the world of English, senior Joe O'Neill proceeds to take a taperecorded German test which has undoubtedly proved to be somewhat of a challenge.

During their rare free periods, many teachers, such as Brother Richard, take advantage of the time to give some extra editing to their class notes.

ART Art influences many phases of our modern world. At la Salle this influence continues and is felt in Brother Fred Stelmach's expansion of the art curriculum. The interest in art in recent years at la Salle necessitated expanding the art facilities into two adjoining rooms. Seniors and juniors now have a combin ed class indulging in the world of oil painting, and for the seniors, new courses in mechanical drawing and appreciating the arts are part of the senior art curriculum.

Thi rd year art students Larry Angstadt and Kevin Colgan work toward d eveloping their artistic abilities by painting various still life compositions during art class.

ACTIVI TIES -

In order to attain complete maturity, it is essential that a student not limit himself to the academic realms of high school. He must, indeed, constantly broaden the scope of his relationships, since total human development is proportionate to the influences of all the various aspects of life.

Dominated by the task of preparing himself to meet the ever-increasing demands of society, the student's e ncounters must be feasible ways of enlarging basic relationships. Perhaps the most appropriate means of fulfilling his development is through the use of the numero us extra curricular activities which La Salle offers.

A concept which particularly typifies these activities is availability. All activities are conducted within the confines of the school, and any student, regardless of his individual qualifications, can actively participate in at least some of these activities. Through this contact with both social and physical aspects of school life, the student can incorporate the effects of these relationships along with the realizations of the classroom to form a completely developed human being.

La Salle's first mixer is always an overwhelming success; this year's was no exception as over 2,500 people attended the first social event of the 1967-68 school year. The Student Council's dance and refreshment committees capably handle all dances, selling refreshments, checking coats and taking admission money. The dance committee also helps to arrange the Junior and Senior Proms.

STUDENT COU NCIL 40

Motivated by the desire to establish for the students at La Salle an unprecedented year of scholastic and social achievements, the Student Council successfully completed most of its goals. Guided by moderator Brother Fidelian Goldhammer and directed by president Mike Van Buskirk, the council provided all students with opportunities for academic and social advancement. The bi-weekly mixers, the Great Pumkin Ball and the Senior and Junior Proms were successful products of the frequent organizational meetings held by the Student Council throughout the school year. Undoubtedly, the productivity of this year's council will serve to inspire future Student Councils.

While the blackboard in the background shows extensive plan路 ning and organization, Student Council officers John Fenning路 ham, Mike Ternosky and Mike Van Buskirk complete t he arrangements for the Junior and Senior Proms.

With his substantial musical background, Brother Kenneth Bryan is able to instill in the Glee Club members an appreciation of music not offered by the curriculum . The club is open to all musically oriented students.

After learning the rudiments of music, the Glee Club, hoping for the best choral results, harmonizes in an informal after school practice session.

The Fine Arts and Glee Clubs foster the student's appreciation for modern mediums of communication and entertainment.

Under the supervision of Brother Kenneth Bryan, the Fine Arts Club directs its efforts toward understanding and evaluating current theatre and television productions.

Meeting regularly on Mondays after school, the Glee Club developed almost spontaneously last year from study period music appreciation programs. Utilizing Brother Kenneth's background knowledge in music, its aim is to instruct members in the fundamentals of music and voice control.

BAND With a desire to create a responsible attitude toward music for the student, the La Salle College High School Bond provides a significant opportunity to learn and appreciate music. Stressing the discipline of both mind and body, the bond imposes vigorous requirements of marching and orchestration. A student who completes four years in the music deportment wins both success a nd advancement.

An integral part of a marching band is the pe rcussion section. Hours of drilling before and after school refine the drummers for precision and harmony in their performance.

This, coupled with elaborate costuming a nd equipment, has added to the overall success of the band in Catholic league Competition .

Continuing the tradition of an award-winning publication, La Salle's W ISTERIAN fosters excellence in journalism with complete and accurate coverage of school-related news.

Under the guidance of WIS moderator, Brother Paul Deasy, and editor-in-chief, Joh n Castaldi, the WIS staff constantly demonstrates its ability in presenting interesting and thoughtprovoking news and creative essays. The WISTERIAN excells in a reas of features, news and sports. Having one of the la rgest numbers of participants, La Salle's school paper fulfills its reputation as one of the best high school publications.

Moderator Brother Paul Deasy and John Castaldi review t he last edition of the WIS.

One of AI Kellenbenz's " Sportsatorials" is sure to cause a great amount of interest in the WIS office. AI, an Intimate acquaintance of many Philadelphia sports figures, draws upon

his first-ha nd knowledge to produce an always informative a nd interesting sports page.

WISTERIAN 49

An empty space on the features page layout no longer presents o problem to WISTERIAN editor-in-chief John Castaldi. Mike O' Toole, the features editor, possesses o wealth of ideas and information which can be developed into articles.

Senior editors Jim Carroll and AI Kellenbemt revise a sports article for an upcoming issue of the school paper.

WISTERIAN editor-in-chief John Castaldi points out a minor flaw to staff member, John Ertel. At the WIS staff meetings, the previous issues were evaluated and plans for the upcoming editions were made. This organization, along with the fine literary talents of the staff, combined to give La Salle an award-winning publication.

Seniors Mike McKenna and AI Kellenbenz pla n a layout, one of their primary functions a s co-editors of the sports page.

The photography of senior George Fennell was beneficial to both the WISTERIAN and th e BLUE AND GOLD.

The decor of the WIS office indicates the broad range of ideas of the staff. These ideas, expressed mainly on the features page, reflect the calibre and insight of the La Salle writer.

One of the most am bitious fea tures of the winte r GAZEBO was the beginning pages of Walter Wilmanski's novel. Walt used Cervantes' Don Quixote a s a n inspiration for his novel.

Revision of the rough drafts of students' writing occupied much of Mike Venditto's time as an editor of the GAZEBO. Mike's literary training, especially in advanced English, prepared him well for the job.

Under the close guidance of Mr. Gerald Tremblay, the GAZEBO, La Salle's literary maga zine, expanded this year in publishing both a winter and spring issue . Drawing from creative writing courses as well as inde pe ndent contributions, the current edition includes original essays, short stories, ,and character sketches, ranging from everyday scenes to more widespread implications. Also involved in the composition of the GAZEBO are samplings of student poetry and art work, in cover designs and illustrations. Combining efforts that display the various possibilities in high school creativity, the 1968 GAZEBO once again proved to be a significant aspect of the La Salle scene.

Moderator, Mr. Gerald Tremblay, and some of his staff discuss the elects of Bonnie and Clyde on the sensibilities of modem man and, thus, on his literature.

The GAZEBO'S art consultant, Brother Fred Stelmach, observes Mr. Trem blay's choice of student art work for the maga:l:ine. The exclusive use of La Salle students' work is one of the most attractive features of the publication.

Brothe r Michael Ritucci, the BLUE AND GOLD moderator, and an interested staff discuss the selection of an informal faculty picture of Brothe r Joseph Taylor.

Staff members Lee O'Dea and Mike Whita ke r attempt to promote enthusiasm for the BLUE AND GOLD Drive by creating attractive poatora.

Yearbook staff members, Jim Haney, Tom MeTeor, and Gene Gallagher frolic in the snow a fter a hard day's work.

The first meeting between staff and publisher may often determine the success of a yearbook. The staff of the '68 BLUE AND GOLD was fortunate to deal with such an understanding representative as Mr. Daniel Solari from William T. Cooke Publishing Company.

54

Selecting as its theme the changes that hove token place at La Salle in recent years, the 1968 BLUE AND GOLD staff revised much of the format which has been standard in recent La Solie yearbooks. The 1968 edition is distinctive in its presentation of informal faculty pictures and its addition of students' poetry. Sensing a need for completeness, moderator Brother Michael Ritucci and editor-in-chief Gene Gallagher decided early in the year to incorporate more written material in the yearbook, especially in the Activities section. As a member of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, the 1968 BLUE AND GOLD will be evaluated against 2,000 other high school yearbooks later this year.

Associate editor Jim Carroll notes the various varsity schedules.

Jim's specific job on the staff was to plan the sports section.

Making his contribution to the success of the yearbook, associate editor Lee O' Dea wades through several rough drafts to produce a creative piece of writing.

Evidently amused by Brother Michael's suggestion of chartreuse for the cover color of the yearbook, Gene Gallagher ponders the question.

BLUE AND GOLD 55

The creativity an d organizational ability of a S$ociate editor J im Haney were assets to the yearbook. Excelling at all functions of a staff member, such as writing copy, captions and planning la yo uts, Jim' s consistent dedication was an important contribution to the quality of the ' 68 BLUE AND GOLD.

Associate editors Jim Haney and Gary Petrauski, working to malce t he deadline, double check the yearbook layout to insure that all necessary contents are complete. Following this procedure, the section is forwarded to the publishing company before a preselected date.

The selection of a cover for the BLUE AND GOLD presented an adequate challenge for lee O'Dea's creative tale nts. Editor-in-chief Gene Gallagher registers his approval along with some constructive criticism.

56

As production editors, Gary Petrauski and Tom Mclear were an essential part of the yearbook staff. Their work on typing and organization proved invaluable in the creatio n of the 1968 BLUE AND GOLD.

Through a close association with the Philadelphia World Affairs Council, La Salle's Turner Society enables its members to acquire a first-hand knowledge of current events. Monthly forums featuring prominent guest speakers provide students with opportunities to exchange ideas and opinions on today's world problems. Frequent school meetings are presided over

Participating in all phases of library work, the library assistants were instrumental in maintaining the efficiency of the library. Senior Mike Taboga effectively manages the front desk, enabling the librarians to concentrate o n clerical chores.

La Salle's library stocks issues of periodicals dating back to 1957. The upkeep of the magazine room is entrusted to the sophomore library assistonts who employ their free periods and after school time to accomplish this.

Sophomore library assistants Gerald Plourde, Thomas Barge r, and Pat Mitchell make use of the 3M copyi ng machine, a recent addition to the library equipment.

During his f ree time, Tony Janton is assisted by the librarian, Mrs. Mary Mountain. While compiling research papers, students find invaluable aid through the librarians in locating necessary books and sources.

THE NEW YORK TIMES is one of several newspapers which La Salle's library subscribes to. These papers are prepared daily for the rack by Jim Kuklinski and Mrs. Mountain.

Films, slides, and discussions hove been the mainstay of La Salle's language Club activities during the previous year.

Der Deutsche Vereih and Le Cercle Francais hove built largely upon the experience of trips to Germany and EXPO 67 this past summer. With Mr. Joseph Hickey and Brother Richard lafferty providing the insight, the German and French Club meetings have proved to be informative and enlightening cultural gatherings. La Salle's third language club is moderated by Brother Manuel Suarez. Under the title Circulo Espanol, Spanish students may further their interest in the life and culture of Spain.

French Club members Ray Porreca, Tony Godzieba, Ed McMahon, John Brett, and Stephen Andrilli, along with Brother Richard, prepare to listen to and enjoy one of the many tapes in the language laboratory.

French Club meetings, conducted by Brother Richard Lafferty, are attended by students interested in furthering their linguistic understanding beyond the daily class level.

Brother Manuel shows a travel poster to several Spanish Club members. The club explored not only Spanish, but the life and culture of co untries which are extensively Spanish-influenced, such as Mexico, Puerto Rico and Cuba .

During their sojourn at the ice house, Kim (Trish Bihm) tries to put o n a sophisticated adult role to impress Conrad (Ted Keen e r), but fa ils miserably.

Having received the news that they would appear on the Ed Sullivan Show, the MacAfee family bursts into an ecstatic " Ed Sulli van Song."

Gyrating before a gigantic poster of his likeness, Conrad Birdie makes his grand appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show as Kim MacAfee adoringly observes.

Sweet Apple citizens cheer the arrival of Conrad Birdie from New York. Rose Alvarez and Albert Peterson guard the town's teenage idol.

Conrad Birdie's stirring rendition of " Honestly Since re" sends the population of Sweet Apple into a frenzy, causing even the mayor's matronly wife (Helen Burke) to move to the rocking beat.

For the first musical in La Salle's history, Brother Gene Graham chose to prese nt the rollicking spoof on the Pres ley era, "Bye Bye, Birdie." Rehearsals for this story of a rock and roll idol's descent on Sweet Apple, Ohio, began in December when students from va rious area girls' high schools were invited for auditio ns. Greeted by sellout crowds and boosting the wholehearted support of the entire student body, the musical represented the greatest displa y of school spirit at lo Salle in recent years.

Attempting to provide the student with comprehension of mathematical concepts beyond those offered in the curriculum, the Math Club under the guidance of Mr. Frank Conlin, meets frequently for the benefit of those members who wish to increase their mathematical aptitude.

For the science-minded student, the Science Club, with Brother Fidelian Goldhammer as moderator, features not only visiting lecturers, but also many student lecturers who share with their fellow members the results of various experiments.

Under the auspices of Mr. Frank Conlin, students interested in increasing their mathematical comprehension explored aspects and theories of math not covered in classroom work.

An understanding of one of the most interesting equations in high school math, Euler's Law, postulates a varied background in mathematical theory, such as can be gained at the Math Club meetings.

The entire school program at La Salle is directed towards the development of the students' awa reness of their commitment to both God and man. Two extracurriculars, Religious Clubs and Apostolic Activities, function to add depth to the meaning of this commitment. Through the influence and guidance of Brother David Albert, the Religious Clubs provide students with an opportunity to examine religious vocations with an insight into their own vocations. Apostolic Activities, on the other hand, presents students with an opportunity to help their fellow man. Moderated by Brother Kenneth Bryan, Apostolic Activities participates in service programs associated with the Schools Community Council of Germantown and usually meet on Saturdays ot Vernon Pork.

MEN OF LA SALLE 76

One of the most notable aspects in contemporary society is the generation gap which exists between the parents' and sons' ideas. In light of the problems ensuing from this generation separation, the Men of La Salle provide a common plane for the father and his son to meet and possibly understand each other. Through such activities as the monthly meetings and the annual Father and Son Banquet, the Men of La Salle hopes to engender a spirit of friendship among the students, their fathers and the faculty .

ATHLETICS

Athletics evoke as much enthusiasm at La Salle as any other of the activities in which a student may be involved. Offering a wide spectrum of both varsity and intramural sports, the athletic program appeals to the varied interests of all students.

La Salle's efforts on the varsity level are characterized by spirit and dedication.

Combining competence and exp erie nce in a coaching staff, each varsity player is taught not only the fundamentals of his sport, but also the functions of a w ell-organized team.

The rewards of athletic participation reach further than the mere demonstration of physical prowess or endurance. Such participation fulfills in the athlete his inner desires to compete, to work with a group for a specific goal, and to expe rience a sense of unity and friendship . La Salle's combined varsity and intramural program purposefully aims at the student's realization of this ambition.

Although the achievement of excellence in any particular activity demands a long and arduous experience, no endeavor requires as much dedication and hard work within a concentrated period of time as does football.

Continuing as moderator for the second year, Brother Edward Conway is hopeful that the experience of the underdassmen on this year's team will be a great asset to next year's squad.

On the move against Cardinal Dougherty, John Fenningham breaks off good yardage. John was no easy target with his speed and agility.

One of the highlights of the 1967 football season was La Salle's formidable defense which allowed an average of less than ten points a game. Ready to make a tackle against Dougherty are Bob Ellis, Ray Dombkiewicz, and Bill Hartman.

Never refusing a chance to take a bow, All-Catholic Kevin Meehan makes his 1967 debut at the pep-rally before the Bonner game, while Mike Ternoskey waits "speechless."

Coaches "Tex" Flannery, David Diehl, and Frank Daniel give sideline instructions to quarte rback Joe Zaiss. Dedica ted coaching has always been a principal factor behind the football successes of La Salle.

Eluding an onrushing tackler, Kevin Brett heads upfield for one of his many outstanding runs. Kevin also excelled on defense for the Explorers as one of the five seniors who played both ways.

Football camp is a multi-faceted experience, some of which is pleasant, all of which is memorable. Although the actual practice sessions consume most of the team's time they still managed to include intramurals, skull sessions and delicious meals in their schedule.

Four year veterans: AI Bednarik, Bill Hartman, Kevin Meehan, Shawn Glynn, Bruce Moore, John McTear, Andy Stephenson, Mike Whitaker, John Kent, Kevin Brett, Bob Ellis, Joe Kohler, Mike Ternosky, and John Fenningham.

Powerful Bill Hartman shows why he was selected All-Catholic by his ability and strength in pulling down a Dougherty runner.

Having beaten his defender, senior end Mike Whitaker takes in a 35-yard scoring pass against Bonner. This was Mike's last game, as a freak injury soon ended his varsity career.

The goal of a junior varsity football player is to become a member of the blue and gold varsity in the near future.

Each j.v. player learns a great deal from his association with the coaches, varsity players and others associated with La Salle football. The preparation, physical and mental, for the time when he can join his elders is long and arduous, but the necessity for such preparation is fully realized by every member of La Salle's j.v. squad as beneficial to him and to his team.

Essential to any football team, even on the high school level, is a potent aerial attack. The effectiveness of the combination of Jack Brinkman and Bill Loughery gave every indication that La Salle, in future years, will be capably manned in this department.

Aggressiveness, such as this, exemplified the efforts of the freshman football team. Although they did not have a winning season, the freshmen exhibited many of the attributes which form winning varsity seasons.

On September 28th when a group of shy freshmen assembled for their first high school football practice, many of them did not know each other nor had many of them ever played football before. At the season's close, however, something had happened to them. Under the guidance of former La Salle players Tim Erb and Kevin Flynn, they were no longer a group of individuals playing for themselves, but rather a team playing for La Salle. Such team spirit will be of tremendous value for them in the three brief football years ahead of them.

CLASS ES

Unlike the air of finality w hich underlies senior year, the spirit and competition of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors can assume a diverse, probing, uncertain atmosphere leading up to college life. Awakening, broadening and discovery: these are the significant stages of high school development.

Introduction to the intellectual, personal, and social form of life penetrates most of the La Salle freshman' s activities. A key word during this time is responsibility.

Alter realizing what is expected of him, the freshman begins to form some picture of his future progress, including the task of individual achievement, whether traveling to school, changing classes, or joining e xtracurricular activities.

In sell-learning, a crucial phase is selfrecognition; to understand and accept both achievements and failures marks the sincere academic. In expanding their new sense of knowledge, sophomores find themselves in a position requiring independent research in order to mea sure up to the unwritten standards of the second year group.

As a student enters the last phases of his high school studies, his ability to relate his personality to his knowledge determines his future development intellectually in the transition to college work; socially, in the transition tow ard other personalities.

Obviously enjoying the refreshing atmosphere of the cafeteria, this group of freshmen partakes in a hearty lunchtime meal.

The concerned look of John Deeney exemplifies the seriousness which all freshmen apply to their high school adjustment.

SENIORS

In the past four years we have grown and experienced. The process of learning has brought us closer to the realm of reality. The idealistic goals that we set for ourselves in the beginning of high school have been remolded and adapted to fit specific difficulties that we face. However, through our education we have realized that this self change is not a singular event. It continues throughout our lives.

We have encountered the need for personal renewal and adaptation many times in our years at La Salle. The diversification of our senior program has offered an excellent opportunity for us to expand our understanding of responsibility. Dances, athletics, and rallies have brought us together and from them we have learned the value of common experience. We have achieved a close unity and a renewal of spirit through worshipping together. Most importantly, however, we have enjoyed the companionship of close friends whose influence will form an integral part of our complete education.

La Salle's suburban location provides a quiet and restful atmosphere which proves most conducive to study. Empty classrooms and outside benches provide comfortable alte rnatives to the Study Center and the Library. While Bob DeMarco makes use of th e forme r, Pat White, George Naab and Bill Conway prefer the latter location.

Listening intently to his teacher's interpretation, Ray Andries has already begun to pose questions in his mind whith will add to the discussion of T. S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." The senior poetry classes spent the first quarter studying such dissimilar works as those of Tennyson and the Beatles.

Edmund C. Capuzzi, Jr.

J ohn Mallick

IN MEMORIAM The entire la Salle community was shocked by the violent deaths of two members of the class of 1968.

Both Edmund Capuzzi, who was killed in a car accident not for from school, and John Mallick, who died in a storm swollen stream near his home, had been vital members of the class since they entered school in 1965. Ed, from St. laurence's in Highland Park, was a member of the band, and John, from Our lady of Perpetual Help in levittown, competed on the track and cross-country teams. Besides maintaining consistently good grades, they revealed, through their academic and extra-curricular a chievements, an almost incomprehensible love of life in its entirety.

I have promises to keep A nd miles to go Before I sleep Robert Frost

Although the miles Ed and John had traveled with us were so few, the promises were well kept.

Now may they sleep ...

19 68 OU TSTAND ING SENIORS JOHN CASTALDI Among the seniors who have left their mark upon th e school in recent years, one of the most prominent has been John Ca staldi. Since 1964, the La Salle community has witnessed his extraordinary development in all phases of the academic world, ranging from personal projects to cooperative ventures. Such a unity in purpose has led to a variety of creative outlets. In his classroom work, informal lectures, and position as editor of the WISTERIAN, along with nu merous afte r-school activitie s, John has given his time generously to others, leaving an unmistakab le charism upon La Salle.

EUGE NE GALLAGHER The compelling desire for the achieveme nt of exce llence which motivates Gene Gallaghe r manifests itself in his many accomplis hme nts. Gene ranks in the top ten of his class and has qualified as a Merit Finalist. In activities Gene served as editor-in-chief of the BLUE AND GOLD and for three years as a me mber of the Stude nt Council. His genuinely congenial personality blends with his deep sense of pu rpose to form a truly distinguished member of the Class of 1968.

WILLIAM HARTMAN In acknowledging the credits and contri b utions of Bill Hartman, both his participation and his character must be considered. In the s phere of activitie s, athletics dominated Bill's agenda, although he was an impo rtant member of th e Student Council. He received All-Catholic recognition in football an d p layed on the basketball team for three years.

More importantly, however, are the personal traits which Bill displays in his relationships with others. His actions are characterized by honesty, dedication and selflessness.

MICHAEL McKENNA Unassuming yet dependable leadership best characterizes the contribution of Mike McKenna to La Salle during the past four years. In achieving a balance between academic and athletic activities, Mike has demonstrated consistency and reliability by his advanced work in scholastic areas as w e ll as regular performances in varsity swimming since freshman year. To utilize his literary originality, Mike formed an integral part of the WISTERIAN staff as senior sports editor. With the distinction of both personal and scholastic excellence, he has credited his school in worthwhile accomplishment.

WILLIAM POWELL Within the seemingly passive appearance of Bill Powell lies the energy, determination and dedication which classify h im as outstanding. " Boog' s" endeavors in extracurricular activities excelled in both number and intensity. He very capably directed the La Salle intramural program while manag ing the basketball and baseball teams and serving as vice-president of the Spirit Committee. Also to his merit is a vital contribution to the Student Council, performing some of the less glamorous jobs which council functions necessitate. Undoubtedly, Bill was the most activity-minded student at La Salle.

MICHAEL VAN BUSKIRK Unfailing self-confidence and ex trem ely tactful behavior are the essence of the success of Mike Van Buskirk. As Student Council president, he demonstrated these attributes throughout his term in office. His organization, patience, innate intelligence, and uncanny notion to make the proper move at the proper time resulted in a prosperous year for the Student Council. Mike's d evelopment was not confined to council affairs however, he served as vice-preaident of the Germantown Schoola Community Council, and starred on the track team in the quarter mile.

MICHAEL WHITAKER

MICHAEL WHITAKER Without actively seeking it, Mike Wh itaker has nonetheless achieved the acclaim of everyone at La Salle. What has earned Mike this acclaim is not a single touchdown catch, a successful yearbook drive or participation In a school play, but his steady dedi路 cation to any task he undertakes. However fleeting Mike' s moments in the spotlight may have been, his consistent dedication to La Salle and his sincere concern for others will long be remembered by all his associates.

Progressing toward his place in the complexity of modern society, the student faces not only a total picture of dynamism, but also an unlimited diversity involving the original efforts of various social groupings. Recognition of these assorted forms and qualities provides an opportunity to explore and appreciate the abundance of the creative world. In representing the innumerable means of artistic expression, such a cc ntinuous realm shows the equally innumerable characteristics of the contemporary human situation.

Thus, this milieu reveals both the unity and variety of creation: a unity transcending the temporary trials of normalcy, and a variety always enriching the emergence of evolving life.

LA SALLE MEETS THE MODERN CHALLENG E

In providing a basis for further development, a dynamic atmosphere in education is both desirable and vital. Remaining in charge amidst the various forces of change about him underlies the student's primary need to hear, to see, to act, and finally, to tell- the four stages in progress. The realization of change brings the experience of living. This experience includes understanding of the time, the place, and the mood where participation and communication become inherent rather than accessory.
