Such customs as the annual elec- tion of officers for the classes, the rresentation of the achool banner Ly the president of the retiring graduation class to the president of the class which is to succeed it, the auditorium exercises, the selction of marshals at gradugtion, the class banquet, promenade,*and class night, and the extra curricular organiza- tions including the athletic teams | have all played an important part in the school's histary. Burms Memorial Newest Probably the latest custom which has becn formed is the awarding of an emblem to a graduating athlete who has won high esteem in studies, behavior, and athletics. The winner of this honor is called a “Willlam F. Burns Memoria! Man” and his name is inscribed on a small tablet | on a plaque. The plaque is a wooden which contains several tablets infured toward the middle of the yeiir and Mahoney carried away the homor. This was a popular cholos. He is now n the real estate business. The compstition was unusually keen in 1923. Through & rather bril- Hant eareer on the football field, George Murta was being mentioned as a candidate until the last six months when-he was': eliminated. | The three who were mentioned wers James Reynolds, Paul LaHar, and Thomas McCabe. Two factions were represented in the three candidates. The Theta Sigma fraternity claimed both Reynolds and McCabe and the non-fraternity faction wanted La- Har, Reynolds was given the honor to the disappointment of the non. fraternity faction. Reynolds is man- ager of a hay ard grain atore, La- Har is employed by the Fafnir Rear- int Co., and McCabe is in Catholla University. One of the three winners who came through without competi- tion was Harold J. Beagle in 1924, John Glerochowski was eliminated because he made a monogram in only two sports, football and basket- ball, Beagle won lctters in basket- ball, baseball und track. He is a student at Alabama Southern Uni- versity. Gierochowski is employed by the Fafnir Bearing Co. Keen competition was again noted in 1925 when Ernest George M. Nelpp took the honors. Aithough he had two good athletes in ecompeti- tion with him, Nelpp's choice was history of the memorial. His rivals were John Grip and Howard Bel- | backfield men at Fardham Univer- sity, Two Fraternity Contests In 1926, the choice law between Henry T. Bray and Elgert Politis.
