DENNIS WILKINS BEHAN HD. Bf' is the nickname given to one of the most popular mem- bers of the senior class. He came to Cascia in his freshman year from St. Louis, Missouri. He was at once well liked by everyone who came in contact with him. He is always known by the neatness of his clothes. Denny is also quite an athlete. His endeavor has carried him to great heights on the gridiron. All will remember the saying of a year ago, Benien to Behann which attested to his ability for pulling in many aerial shots from quarterback Paul Benien to Cascia's leading end, Behan. Denny is also very well known on the basketball courts where he gave the zip to win many a Cascia game. Denny's great efforts and fine play in sports will always be remembered around Cascia. Besides his athletic endeavors Denny has managed to keep his grades better than average. He hopes to enter Notre Dame, and if effort spells success, Denny has what it takes. Truly Cascia loses one of its most outstanding personalities when Denny returns to St. Louis. There are few who keep their nose to the grindstone as Denny did. His perseverance is bound to pay off.

T. A. BAKER To know a person with a quick humor and an abundance of energy is always a pleasure. There is nothing more stimulating than a witty remark when the going is a bit rough. Such people are rare, but when they do come along, everybody appreciates them. With us T. A, Baker is such a fellow. T.A., as he is better known, arrived here in his senior year. Sahih, as he is again commonly called, hails from Saudi Arabia. Having lived there for five years, he can relate stories that enliven and stimulate any conversation. As a student his grades always rated ahove average. Apart from his comedy role, he can have his serious side, too. He could be depended upon for advice no matter what might be troubling one. Despite his short acquaintance he has won many friends. We regret we could not have known him sooner. T. A. intends to return to Arabia upon the completion of his college. He says that it is in Aralnia that he hopes to make his mark, be it in a fortune or with a signature on the sands. We are all sure that he will one day realize his goal. His happy outlook on life will carry him over any hurdle. ACTIVITIES Kommanclo Klub W4 Bowling League , .. 4 REMEMBER: Something is wrong here boys. Page Nineteen

PAUL FREDERICK BENIEN, JR. Paul came to Cascia as a seventh grader and remained here until his day of graduation as a senior. Few boys have earned the honors he has in what seems like a long time, but which is really quite short. Paul played varsity football and basketball for four years at Cascia, and established himself as a respected competitor to both teammates and opponents alike. On the gridiron he established himself as a fearless back for the Commandoes, and his touchdowns were many times deciding factors in games. He was elected captain in his senior year. An equally accomplished athlete on the hardwood, Paul was a dependable player on the varsity basketball squad for three years. As a senior, Paul, at the center position, sparked his team to many vic- tories with his superb rebounding and shooting. In school Paul is far above average as a student, and occasionally his name graced the honor roll. He was active in dramatics, and appeared in some Belle-Masque productions. Paul's quiet disposition and friendly manner have endeared him to both schoolmates and teachers alike. He has the enviable quality to be able to voice encouragement to a friend when he needs it most. When Paul leaves, it will take quite a man to fill the spot which he will leave vacant here at Cascia and in the hearts of Cascia boys. With these words we bid farewell to a true Cascia man.
