Although he's rather studious. Tom always manages to find time for a hike, or anything else that happens to be going on at the time. Durnnu work periods Tom acts as chief barber in the college. So, If you value your scalp, you better stay on the good side of these sons of musicg for terrible is the power placed in the hands of a barber. Doyou see the fellow over there bythe Hi-Fi set? That's Bill Murphy and l'm willing to bet thatls aBilly Vaughn record he has in his hands. Murph isreally fond of good music and especially ofanything with Billy Vaughn's saxaphone touch. When he's away from the Hi-Fiset, either the gym or the pool is the scene of most of Bill's activities. Bill made the varsitv basketball team this year, but was kept from action by a baCk injury. Howeverg hehas recovered in time toplay varsity baseball. All of which proves you can't keep a good man down, And when we speak of a good man take a look at Butch Evans over there fhe tells us to say thatl. Butch is a real ham from way back - I mean, he's been a radio operator for a long time. Whenever Butch is on the air, his Southern drawl can be heard just about everywhere on the campus, from the Hi-Fi set in the rec room to the organ in the Chapel, But though his radio broadcasts get around quite a bit, Butch himself also manages to tour most of Holy Trinity in his round of daily acti- VltY- Not only does his angelic f?l voice help to swell the ranks of the choir, but the varsity teams can also claim him as an outstanding performer, -excuse me, but I couldn't help notice that you're staring at that group over there. Vhat's so fascinating? Oh, you must mean Jim Gillin. Yes, the way he throw those jelly beans in the air and then snares them in his mouth is certainly eye-catching. But, of course, you're 5ee'n9 only 009 side Of Jim's colorful personality. When he's serious there's nothing Jim likes better than a lively discussion on any topic: and he has more than once amazed us with his ability to see through theheart of the matter. Jim is one of our expert electricians. So if you ever have any light problems, just call on Jim. fnot only does he know how to wire a house, but he can even screw in a light bulb left-handed.l ' . u i Right next to Jim, his head barely scraping the C8lllng,lS Pat Mc Donough fsometimes called Scranton Slim.l This is Pat'S first Yea' phere at Holy Trinity and he sure hasntt wasted any time gettinginto S169 . Pat has spent most of his time in the Chanel as sacristan. what time is not devoted to this duty, Pat equally divides between debating and basketball. As for the former, he wound up on this year's winning team in the annual college-high school debate. ln the field of sports, his efforts won him a varsity letter in basketball. All in all, Pat's industry is paying off, Initiative and energy also chacterize another member of our class Ed 30lb9fQm Ed. who also a newcomer to Holy Trinity, seems tohave bf0U9hf down with him all the bustling industry of the North. A lot of Ed's time is spent on his various duties the must have about a dozenl. In tis Snare moments Ed devotes time to his hobby, photography. When h? is n0i busy 5naDDiH9 Yourpicture, he will be glad to talk politics Wlth YQU iprovided that you're a staunch Republican andalso believer that Nixon is sure to be our next presidentl. Needless to say, there are many Democrats around here who keep Ed pretty busy defending his

ha i n- . . C FULiZ low up ofthe chair working onthe fluorescent bulbs is Charlie Gordon. Many moons ago he was dubbed 'Worm' - somehow it has stuck- BY this time we ought to be calling him 'Glow-Worm because he D015 the charge into theclass. He manages to keep us asteady current of chatter and you have to be on your toes to keep up with him. He'd probably in- vite you to his room but he'd have to move out his turtle, birds, and hls various other animal friends. Gordon's straight-man is standing right next to him. That's Antonio Ernaldo Rodriguez, our country cousin from South of the Border, Only the vivacity of Gordon can keep pace with Tonito. if you can catch him while he's not looking, slip on some Latin-American music and roll up the rug-But. lhad better tell you the most noticeable facet of Tonito. That's his disposition. Just about anyone will agree that he has the best personality among us - nothing can wipe that smile from his face or take the words of cheer from him. Ifsomeone tells you that the fastest thing alive isthe hummingbird, don't believe it! Just take a long lookat Lowell Neuzil fthe fellow in the corner ...lSure, helsnot moving much nowbut give him a typewriter, or,better yet, some track shoes and watch him go.Where did he acquire all this speed? ln the Prep Room naturally! When something must be typed rapidly, he sits down and zips it off. when a message is to be delivered immediately, we give it to Neuzil and it's as good as there. Lowell exemplifies devotedness. There is no wasted moment in his life- he has no time to spare. in sharp contrast, look at the fellow next to him. That's Brendan Harrington. Looks harmless enough, doesn't he? Don't let looks fool you. You should have seen him in action a few days ago. Right in the midst of the battle was Brendan. The game was Charades, the score was close... But that's a story for another time. What causes this Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde transformation? We can only suggest a cause - his quiet wit. This has been developed over the years and now we reap the benefits. But the more serious side of Brendan lies in the class room where he represents our challenge to Einstein. Now never let it be said that he has built-in brains. Brendan's achievement is the result of oainstaking labor. Something's missing from the room but I can't quite place it. Oh, thereheis! How could I overlookDick Miles.That's'Woodsie's' partner at thecanasta table. At present, in ordinary life, Dick is challenging Charlie for the honor of throwing the most weight around in the class. His poundage does not stop him from participating in all theactivities with more than the ordinary amount of vim. Where does he get all his spirit and 'go'? Some people say that it comes from his room mate, Ed Murphy but the theory doesn't hold much water. For the past five years he has been exercising quite a bit of influence on all those around him... just look inon Latin and Greek classes -he's got Father Vincent using his favorite suffix, 'erinon. Dick tacks that to almost every worj in his vocabulary from 'viperino' to 'Dickerino'. Down at the bottom or the heap, iyou can't see him right nowlis John Kavanaugh. l think he's the only fellow in the college who can claim that he never sees the Sun. As he puts it, 'There's always a few of You clods in the way.' There he is now, crawling from behind the couch. He wasprobably after the latest Newsweek Magazine. As far as I can see, thatfs about the only thing he never seems to get tired of. H9 hasahilfld In every pudding and so most of his time is occupied. Yet, somehow, hehas always time to read this or that. For years .What? You nave to go? Well take it eas d b k t We'll still be here- and ' ' ' y gn come ac nex year' . we'll be just as noisy and happy as ever.
