RICHARD DOWLING In the graduating class of 46, there is one fellow whose achievements in the major sport of the school, football, is not to be slighted. During DicIr's four-year stay at Saints, he has played three years of football: which for any boy in high school is quite a feat, His undying spirit in the midst of a losing battle and honest integrity won for him a three-year stay in the Varsity A Club. Although DicIr's first love is football, the tall, well-built lad from Kentucky has by no means overlooked the social affairs of the school. His love for good music is shown by his at- tendance at all the school dances, and his character is brought into the light by the fact of his being in the Sodality at Saints in his Freshman and Sophomore years. All things being equal, DicIr's popularity with his fellow students illustrates his well-rounded personal- ity and unrelenting spirit of cheerfulness that he imparts by his presence. His chief worry at the moment is whether he will be drafted or not, a question which is in the mind of many of his classmates, who have just reached that critical age. Aero Club I R.O.T.C.

He is one of the most quiet fellows in the senior class, and is proud of the fact that he has played in the school band, despite any destructive criticisms which are offered by his fellow students. Tom's uproarious laughter, when he catches on to a jolre, is an instrument of delight and a sense of victory for the jokester. His favor- ite sport is football, and he, like the other football enthusiasts, can be seen playing a hard, rough-and-tumble game on the field in every spare moment. I'le also has a great desire to argue or rather debate points of common interest, especially in the history class. Since his arrival at Saints his interest in school worlr, particularly math, as well as his interest in social events, has endeared him as a well-lilred personality with the students as well as the faculty.

Almost every day atter school he can be seen playing basketball Ihis tavorite sportl with the Fins. They torm the nucleus ot the St. Didicus basketball team.

CHARLES CAWTHOIN ln every graduating class there are a few seen-but-not-heard fellows, and in this present class, Charlie is one ot them. His dignity has gained tor him the comradeship ot each and every member ot his class. Charlie's at- tendance at the school activities shows that he has what it takes as tar as school spirit goes. Being a tour-year man around the Patio, he has become attached to his alma mater, as any student who has any interest in his school should: and has manifested this interest openly. The reason tor his being chosen to do the work on the cover ot this yearbook is quite evident, tor Charlie has a very steady and exacting hand, which may in the tuture bring him to the threshold of success, his ingenuity carrying him the rest of the way up the long, hard road. A bright and prosperous tuture lies ahead ot Charles Caw- thon and those who have had the pleasure to know him are sure he will make the grade.
