GEORGE ROBERT BARTOSIK George is a San Diego boy, and would care to be nothing else. Usually quiet and reserved. he has, nevertheless, shown a great deal of in- terest in school affairs. An atter school job kept him from participating in any sports, but he has made up tor this in his studies. Lately he has been showing oft ltrom a dis- tance, of coufsel his new car, which is HIS pride and joy. His big passions in lite are keeping quiet in class, not talking in class, and remaining quiet in class. With such high ideals and lofty thoughts as he possesses, George is a na,u.al tor the Air Corps, ot which he expects to call himself a member soon. '44 Club Sergeant-at-Arms 3 Student Council 4 Student Council 4 RICHARD HYATT BROWN Hercules who claims to be one ot the big men down at Arden lpint-size depart- mentl, is well noted around school tor claiming to be one ot the big men down at Arden. Unlike his brother, he usually leaves the speech making department to others. They say, how- ever, that big things come in little packages, and Dick is no exception. His quiet manner sometimes gives way to some choice bits of humor, or demonstrations of brute strength. His main joy in lite loutside ot being one ot the big men down at Ardenl is the Navy Air Corps which he hopes to enter after graduation. Until that time he will have to be content to sit back and take lessons from Mcllraith in the art ot shooting down Zeros in a classroom. Herky is another ot those rare B-average boys. He is well liked by both teachers and classmates alike, and will probably be highly successful in whatever field ot endeavor he chooses in later lite.

Class Historian I Class Secretary 2 Sodality 3 Augustinian Statt 2, 4 Year Book Statt 4 Class President 4 '44 Club President 3 Librarian 2 ROBERT EARL ALFORD Bob gained the admiration and respect of everyone when he demonstrated his executive ability as business manager ot The Augustinian and THE PURPLE AND THE GOLD. He proved his athletic ability by earning a toot- ball letter in his tirst year out tor the sport. Despite the handicap ot only two years at Saints, he has become very popular with everybody on the campus. His favorite pastimes are daily chalk tights with Walsh, burning out his tires in a fast dig, and keeping himself in suspense as to who will be his next date. One ot the minority who tavor the Navy Air Corps, Bob plans to enter into that program after graduation and we're sure he'll do more than take a flyer. PATRICK JOSEPH KEANE Sugar as he is called by the Academy girls, much to his displeasure, is one of the few four year men in the senior class. An anecdote that describes his easy going manner is the one where a fellow asks whether it is Keane or a stump sitting at the other end ot the field, the answer being that it the object moves it is detinitely a stump. ln spite ot his relaxed appearance he is a diligent worker as his record as president ot the senior class shows. The man who comes around, another title to which Pat will readily answer, reters to his job ot picking up the absentee slips during each period. To a boy ot as many talents as Pat, the job of finding a place in the world will be a cinch, but, as it looks, he will probably join the great unabashed in Uncle Sam's Army.

LOUIS JOSEPH CANEDO Louie surprised us all by making the big skip trom sophomore to senior this year. This was accomplished by taking extra courses and at- tending summer school. He has never been known to make a tuss, and unless you were looking right at him, you might never notice him at all. being both slight in stature, and quiet by nature. He is able to turn into quite a clown when the occasion presents itselt, however. His crowning achievement is his ability at the keyboard, boogie woogie a specialty, ah that tornado boogie really sends me, and also his deep-throated imitations ot Popeye. Louie is thinking seriously ot joining Uncle Sam's armed torces, or. in the words ot the poet, You are I-A today, Mister Caneclof' Football 4 Varsity A Club President 4 l
