RICHARD JOHN ABEL St. John's SS5DiCk15H With flesh spread sparsely over a tall, lanky frame, Dick is Abel in more ways than one. Serious and studious in school, humorous and funfloving outside, he had the necessary ingredients for a regular Prepster. Dick is a talented writer and a literary connoisseur. He was usually seen about the school as the everfpresent shadow of one of our fighting eleven-Dave Anthony. Dickls abilities will pay dividends in the field of business and finance. FREDERICK ALOYSIUS ADAMUS Holy Rosary Forza, With Prep pride, we present our farmfloving lad from Buffalo Road, Fritz Adamus, whose wide interests range from enthusiastic cheerfleading to clever football and the bizarre sideline of collecting match covers. Fritz is our muscular manfmountain Dean on the gridiron and our Henry Aldrich in class. He has high hopes of becoming an electrical engineer after training at the Rambling Wreck of Georgia Tech. He is one of our Prepsters, who always worked hard but rarely complained. DAVID VINCENT ANTHONY Holy Rosary HPunjabH Dave's nickname is one that describes his size and strength, but he is known to all for his easyfgoing, nonchalant manner. Punjab possesses a very sharp wit and a mania for the ridiculous, and his sunshine personality is as obvious as the nose on his face! He is also a threefyear tackle, having gained gridiron fame for his ninetyfyard run against Vincent in '45. He is an honor student, Council representative, and vice' president of the Senior class. The University of Duquesne will one day proudly claim him as an alumnus. GERALD ANTHONY ARNOLD St. Josephs ferry A goodfnatured fellow, Jerry will always be remembered for his natty apparel and neat appearf ance. Not quite a Weismuller, his prowess has, nevertheless, contributed immeasurably to the success of our water polo and swimming teams. In the English classes, Jerrry is an accomplished versifierg in the Glee Club, his mellow, Comoflike voice has been the inf spiration of his fellow choristers. Hunting and fishing are his private delights. He plans to sail the seven seas with the United States Marine Cadet Corps.

ROBERT JAMES BABO St. Mary's Tank Bob joined us in the Sophomore year. His suave, affable manner has made him an individual much snught after because of his winning disposition. Not once during the four years did We catch Bob in an angry or depressed mood. As a runner on this year's crossfcountry team, he squared his shoulders, trimmed his waist, and became the tailor's delight of the Senior class. Tinkering, mostly with cars, is the avocation which fits him for the mortar and pestle world of beakers and test tubes. CHARLES ANTHONY BALBUZA St. Stanislaus' Charlie Charlie's glasses, smiling diligence, im' maculate attire, and his absolutely infallible loyalty have been his trademark for four years. Work, and more work, day by day, have been his formula for scholastic success. His main hobby is the field of stamp collecting with photography as a close second. just window shopping for his life's work, he will first get his Bachelor of Arts degree from Gannon. Charlie's prudence and perseverance insure his future against any loss. WILLIAM CHRISTIAN BECKER St. .lohn's Wild Bill Dynamic, persuasive, and possessing a sense of leadership, W. C. has probably merited more honors and medals than any other young man in the Prep. As a speaker, he has the magnetism of a Fulton Sheen, as a writer, he displays the flamboyancy of a Pegler and the dignity of a Calsvvorthy. His resonant radio voice earned for him the Father McManaman Oratorf ical Medal two years in a row and chairmanship of the debating club. He served as cofeditor of The Rambler, editorfinfchief of The Literulae, and Student Council member. Our president of '47, after a law course at the University of Pennsylvania, will help judges and juries keep the sensitive scales of justice wellfbalanced. THOMAS ANTHONY BERNARDINI St. Josephs Tom Bernie has been our scientific and mathematical luminary. The silently studious type, he has gone unobserved about his multiple tasks with incredible results. His class compositions were always as neat as a C. P. A.'s books. He is a member of the P. A. C. and an avid participant in the criminology club. After high school, Tom expects to pursue the world of acids and reactions. He is the patient, unruiiled, experimental type to whom science extends a welf come hand.
