Q. Whatever may be said about Johnny, never will it be said that he did not talce part in school activities: quite the contrary. I-Ie has always been an ardent participant in all the Patio events, especially dances at which he was always present. Johnny is a friend ot all, and always bum- ming money which sometimes cause harsh words among friends. It the dratt continues, John expects to see service in the Army, or, it not, he hopes to go on to college. JOHN KILCOYNE John, who also answers to the name Icing, came to Saints tour years ago. For three ot these years John was a quiet and unassuming scholar, content to let the other members ot the class be the big shots. Then in his tourth year John toolc over and became one ot the outstanding members of the senior class. I-Ie became president ot the senior class and toolc part in making this year's class one ot the best in the schooI's history. John, one ot the shorter men in the class, is also a charter member ot the Handsome Devil Club, in which he toolc a very active part. A smooth dancer, John was this year's King ot the A.S.B, Ball. Another ot John's accomplishments was taking over the impor- tant post ot business manager ot THE PURPLE AND THE GOLD, in which he proved his executive ability.

AL BARRACK Al, known to all his classmates as the killer, is, and l put this in his own words, Gods precious gift to women. This dash- ing Casanova has quite a time keeping track ot his class ring but trom time to time it shows up and it is then you can hear him groan, Well l didn't like her anyhow. But now letting this subject rest, and heaven knows it needs it, we glance over the achievements that this young man from New Mexico has attained in his short time at Saints. Al, being an excellent dancer and a lover ot good times, has been an enthusiastic supporter ot all the dances and social activi- ties held at the school. Al is also a tairly good basketball player. Although he has seen some action on the court he has been heard to comment, while taking the splinters out ot his basketball trunks, that the people out here lCalitornial just don't appreciate good athletic ability when they see it. Al has made no positive plans tor atter graduation, believing that his Uncle Sam will do all his planning.
