Bob Gallagher is our class' outstanding dramatist, or better yet, Comedian. His high, squeaky voice is a natural asset on the stage,but this is clearly a clash with his nickmane, 'Fuzzy'. When Bob took on the Part of Norton - Jackie Gleason Show - for Mardi Gras, his apt P0ftf0Yal drew a million laughs. This was also the case in the high school musical where he received a great ovation for his role as an old lady. Yes, Bob is our comedian and has surely used this talent for class spirit. Thus you see the highlights in the lives of our Sophomore class. Each of us has successfully traversed two of the many stepping stones which dot the road towards our quest, the Priesthood. And we hope that the class spirit so predominant this past year will remain with us an iHSeDarable link binding all of us together as a family unit. As fut- ure Juniors we will take another stride along this arduous yet happy oath to the Altar of God, NOLI VINCI VINCE

in the mathematical world of geometry. During much of his free time, Vic loves to trot over to the college 'ham' headquarters and tune in fellow operators for a friendly Southern chat. n The playful antics of Olaf Langlie have earned for him the title, The Great Pretender', in the common parlance of all.His comical sto- ries permeate thewhole class and brighten all our gatherings with zest and bounce. Olaf is also a 'jack-of-all-trades', especially in our en- tertainment world. Here he is known as the colored shoe-shine boy in memory of his superb pantomime for the Mardi Gras party. , The Prepster staff really keeps Jim Sullivan on the run. Jim ' is their sports editor who shows quite a gift in penning vivid accounts of all our athletics. Jim also directs his talents towards basketball and baseball, but his extraordinary school spirit isnoticed and appre- ciated above and beyond these. His all-out effort in everything from building guillotines and knapkinrings to helping construct scenery for foe play certainly confirms a marked missionary zeal. ln studies, Jim exerts this same determination and it has blessed him with good marks as well as a place among the mathematical genii of the SpecialAlgebra class. With just one characteristic smile Jeff Mischler sums up class spirit. A real pro in the art of being a true friend, Jeffls actions faithfully mirror that age-old maxim: NA friend in need is a friend indeed'. His bubbling personality and good disposition is ever ready to help another. Yes, Jeff's personality makes it a real pleasure to work and play with him. In any activity from the High School play to basketball and baseball you will find Jeff an eage. and skilled parti- cipant. His example serves as a living testimony that the quest for God is filled with holyand happiness. c Ourmost advanced scientist could be none other than that quiet man, Tony Zuppero. His thorough knowledge of electrical gadgets and their basic principles came into the limelight this year. The installation of the Radio Club's antenna and the hook-up of a completely new P.A. system were all the result of Tony's know-how and self-sacrifice. Yes. Tony devoted a great deal of his free time to school projectsand still developed his exceptional scholastic talent to its maximum. All this is typically Tony and undoubtedly gives us an excellent example of how to channel an ability for the good of the school This year Stephen Flott has been as industrious as a little ant in summer. His sunny disposition is witnessed everywhere, no matter what the challenge or problem. When the electrical project was begun down in the gym, Steve was right there stringing wires andmeasuring braces. His great sense of humor is another quality we all aDDfeCiafe. eSpdci- ally when it comes to his comical impersonations during colloquy Defi- ods. Here Steve is the prominent entertainer who bobs and twirls a- round the room with impromptu skits, all with abackground of melodious overtureg that he rolls off with the ease of a Nero. In the classroom Steve ls as astute a student as any. And this is undoubtedly the re- sult of his extensive familiarity and enjoyment with books. Denny Dunn is our 'Johnny Appleseed' of the garden crew. His hard work here has certainly been a great help in maintaining the symmetry of our gardens. But Denny's hands aren't always glued to a hoe.He likewise demonstrates amarked dexterity in basketball, expecially in the intramural league where he handled himself quite skillfully. Al- though somewhat reserved, this doesn't, by any means, block the rays of Dennyls amiable personality from shining forth and seeping into all of us.

FRESHIVIEN .group of anxious boys from every section of this country took theif first Qaze at Saint Joseph's Preparatory Seminary in the late summer of l958. The school, with its long white buildings set off by acres of grass and tall stately pines, was something new and strange to them. It was something to be explored and soon loved. This was to be their home f0f the greater part of the next six vears. Each member of this new class hadqualities which only young men seeking thepriest- hood have. Here iswhere they would perfect these qualities. Everywhere they looked they Saw Priests, Brothers, and college men. These, the Freshmen knew, were to be their new friends in their new home. The faculty's faces were lit with happiness and friendship as they greeted the older students and the Freshman group. The Freshman had imprinted on their hearts that day thefeeling of a family which so characterizes the Missionary Servants - and especially, St. Joseph's. And here isour contribution to the Cenacle family... Our frolicking, mischievous, sportsloving classmate fromLouisville, Kentucky, is Roger Rectenwald. Roger is very enthusiastic about making his mark. On the scholastic side, you'll always find him busy as a bookworm. He has quite a knack for making friends and keeping them. it seems that Roger has just the right way of approaching people and getting them to like him. He is an active member of the vocation Club and sacrifices many a free night to work on club projects. Another one of our beloved southerners, and a firm believer thatthe South will rise again, isMike Scarbrough. He's been saving his Confed- erate money for almost a year in the Dursuit of this cause. Mike hails from Birmingham, Alabama. Hehas a quick and tremendous sense ofhumour: and his little quips, colored with a southern drawl, make them even better. As a southerner, henaturally became an ardent fan of Dixieland Jazz and when it is played on the Hi-Fi, his ears become the ' Mickey Mouse' size. A man who can tickle the ivories as well as he can make layups in basketball isPaul Hendrickson. Paul has a great ability at basketball. His on the spot remarks, that make you roll on the floor with laughter makes him the life of any party. His personality is beyond compare because of his ease in speaking to people. Paul represents Illinois in our little 'Confederation of the Freshmen.' dHext on the parade of the Freshmen comes Helmuth Angermeier. One of the biggest and most likely one of the mainstays of the St. Joseph's football team. Helmuth is all muscle as the opposition can vouch. Coming from Germany when he was young, Helmuth brought with him many German lullabys. with his lark-like voice he is always willing to en- tertain you with a German song. The dark-haired boy inthe far corner of the ceramics ship is Carlos Perilla, our classmate from Lorain, Ohio. Being a member ofthecrafts Club, Carlos follows his ceramics hobby avidly. He can proudly claim ownership of the many fine nobjets d'arts' that have come out of the shop. Along with his pleasing disposition, Carlos is always eager to learn something new. This desire is manifest in his constant asking of questions about everything under the sun. A 'Barrel of Fun' and a guy that can really make you feel at home is Duluth, Minnesota's Pat Ryan. Pat is always an easy fellow to get along with, because of happy-go-lucky disposition. Softspoken candor is his secret to success. Pat hasanother of Saint Joseph's big line- men during the football season. Sidney, New York, can be proud of its native son, Bill Frisch. Bill
