CONGRATULATIONS! LaSalle has tried to opera te as a fullfl edged high school this ye ar. We have

started a student council, written the consti tuti on, published a newspaper and a yea r book, played in varsity competit ion, an d started many club s. It has be en a "start it-, get - it-go ing, keep - it-moving- yea r." Many people have done a lot and have work ed hard. All of us will be back next year to finish the task of setting foundations and to ti e loose ends .

The essential diffe r ence at LaSalle, now that we have begun tr adit ion, is tha t there a r e no senio r s . Senio rs must f inish their business , and th en leav e; but at LaSalle , we plan to be back next yea r to pe r fec t our effo r ts . Students who want to improve th eir clubs , consti tuti ons , and publications are not prone to pr aise the ir first - year efforts . Coming into a job with an "it's all done , why bother" attitude can ruin an activity . It is neces sa r y that LaSa ll e students plan to ca rry on their good work next yea r. It would be a shame if we were expec ted to finish our activi ti es this year an d then have to begin again next ye ar.

Students caught in a whir l of act iviti es they expec t to contin ue next yea r will not take the time to be grate ful for the act iv iti es. Not until they a r e lea vi n~ LaSa ll e, will the students be thankful fo r the benefits that they hav e enjoye d this year .

Congratulations are in orde r for the twenty- one members of LaSalle 's new chapter of the National Honor Socie ty. Effor ts to pl' omote scho larship are appreciated .

The "E xpl orer" a ls o sends heartiest cong r atulati ons to the " Lantern" for thei r wonde rful book .

THE EXPLORfR

GERBILS SfUN STUDENT BODY

'' The Explorer" decided to tr y to enli ven th e la s t days of the s chool year by asking various LaSa lle stu­dents a pointed, controve r sial qu,estion. It required comp lete s ilen ce and deep thought to come up with an answer to this question. A r oving r eporter dashed madly a r ound the schoo l asking, in hushed t ones , the vital questi on . "If s ome one gave you a gerb il, what would you do wit h it ?"--that was the question .

FRENCH CLUB FIRST YEAR IS A SUCCESS

French Club, "Le Cercle Fran-9ais," completed its first year with a bang by going to Chicago for a r oll ick­ing Saturday. The club went to the Museum of Science and Indus tr y, to La Hacienda del Sol (a Spanish r es taur­ant in Old Town), and then eithe r to a play or a movie. About half of the club went to the play which was "The Odd Couple," and the other half went to "The Sound of Music." Afte r wa r ds , everyone had about two hour s of free time in downtown Chicago.

For two days poetry enjoyed a spectacular success. Adding to the enjoyment were the modern sounds of jazz and sound effects records, along with all kinds of music from pop to classical. The students chose music or "sound" of some kind to accompany their poems, creating a mood appro­priate to the tone of the poems.

Although most of the students pre­sented published poetry, several chose to write their own poems. Along with many well - known poems, several protest poems we r e also given . Even a "poem within a poem" was read .

This unusual class activity was _planned by the students, and the name of the coffe e house was chosen by them. Not only did the students enjoy The Dark Corner, but they also learned about their own poems specifically, and had the opportunity to hear more than 30 other poems presented in a meaningful manner.

STUDENT COUNCIL IS ACTIVE Although LaSalle's Student Council

was not officially chart ered until th e middle of March, the members have sponsored several activities.

The ma in project this year is th e scrapbook entry for the Safety Check program. Valerie King is serving as chairman.

BASEBALL TOURNEY TAKEN BY CENTRAL

LaSalle' s Lions were ousted in their first game of the city baseball tourney, 9-2, by the Indians of St. Joseph's, and Central, with a 6-1 victory over Jackson, won its third consecutive title in the final game Saturday.

St. Joe, aided by six unearned runs in the sixth, beat the Lions on the Washington diamond. The rally started when Tony Zappia hit a fly ball to left field where Ted Suddarth dropped the ball. Zappia slid into second but was called out for failing to touch first. Joe Brunette then took a third strike, but catcher Tom Kowalinski let the ball go past him for an error and Brunette made first easily.

Gerry Griffin lined sharply to right and pitcher Mark Pajakowski bunted a ball down the first base line. Lion hurler Jerry Remble fielded, but threw wildly past first where right fielder Tom Strychalski picked it up and hit the runner in the side . Pajakowski tried for third, and when shortstop Tom De­Baets threw wildly the runner scored.

A double, a single, and two wild pitches accounted for the rest of the runs.

Joseph Pulitzer once said, "Ac­curacy is to a newspaper as virtue is to a woman . The only difference is that a newspaper can always print a retraction."

The basis of this column was to present humor, which is an affirma­tion of man's superiority to all that befalls him . This column was not intended to degrade, defraud, or scorn athletes or their sports but to present sports in a new way . Sometimes this goal was "questionable," but that de-pended on the reader.

Pajakowski shut out the Lions after the first inning. He finished with seven strike outs and walked only two. Losing pitcher Remble was the victim of poor defense. Only three of the St . Joe tallies were earned.

The Lions brought their first season under Ben Hoevel to a close with a 2-8 record.

John Remble hurled a two - hitter and Rick Niezgodski hit a home run and drove in the three runs to pace the Bears to their fourth city title out of the eight tourneys that have been played ,

Jackson, a surprise winner all through the tourney, went be hind in the first inn ing on a triple by Ray Lentych and Niezgodski's single . The Tigers scored their only run in the next inning when pitcher Dennis Parrish scored on a wild pitch .

Most of the other five runs that the Bears pushed across were un­earned . Niezgodski provided the final Central run in th e last inning they batted . He hit a deep drive to cente r where no one could reach it.
