Seniou . . . JOHN DOUGLAS HENDERSHOTAPrecious Blood-Lack of dis- cretion and tact can very easily ruin one socially, but Doug has never committed that faux pas. A brilliant, prolific mind fused with a refreshing personality iustify his propriety as an actor. Although he does not particularly like mathematics, languages do appeal to him. And so to a person of his philological genius we say cura ut valeas. JOHN JOSEPH HILTZ -Epiphany-When it comes to boxing or photography, Jack is definitely in the ken . His first attempt to win honors in the annual Camera Club contest brought him second prize, although against more experienced competion. A four year honor student, and a bona fide member of the Science Club, he plans to present the Navy with his talents upon graduating. GEORGE FLOYD HISSONG-Precious Blood-Of the many hobbies that serve to delight men in their leisure hours George considers eating as his favorite. There are few parties you can attend that he will not be the proverbial life of . An ingenious wit and a naive disposition are his keys to the lock of popularity. A fond believer in the principles of Einstein and Newton, he will graduate from college os an aeronautical engineer. JAMES JOSEPH HOLLAND-VisitafianhGive him a pair of swimming trunks and a spring-board on the banks of a cool, azure lake, and Jim will consider himself living in an aquatic Utopia. The physique acquired as a swimmer has aided him in the boxing ring where he has fared rather successfully. There is a bit of wanderlust in his blood, and so, should he receive his chance, he will ioin the Merchant Marine to see the world. JAMES FRANCIS HOLLIS-Annunciation-Serious, analyzing, Jim has been one of the most active elements which has graced the halls of Central during the last four years. A potent member of the Camera Club, he also collects stamps, specializing in first-day covers. Owing to o fancy for the sea he delights in the tremor of cat-boat racing. A com' pelling love of science prompts us to portend far Jim a career in the field of medicine. JOHN JOSEPH HORVATH-St. Gregory-Mid the twang of bow-strings and the singing of arrows one may invariably find Jack. The accuracy and cool nerves he displays as an archer are subiected to his perusal of the sciences. The glamour and uncertainty of politics appeals to his inquisitive nature along with the hobby of model building. One cannot help but see the bright promises that are ahead for him.

JOHN COLLINS GEMPEL-St. Benedict -A very eminem figure in scholastic organizations within our hallowed walls of learn- ing, John has been a staunch supporter of the Camera Club since ioining. The basketball court has served as an outlet for his many physical talents. ln his spare time he enjoys dancing, ice-skating and takes especial pride in the produc- tion of art masterpieces. Amid test tubes and retorts we vision his future employment. THOMAS MARTIN GOLDEN-St. Rita-lt is a rather odd coincidence that Tom's surname should be a most appropriate adiective to describe the opportunities that have been of- fered to him at Central, and which he has meritoriously capitalized upon. He has truly developed himself in the manner which Catholic education advocates: spiritually, mentally and physically. By employing his God-given talents thus, he has laid the foundation for his formal education and the greater one to come. JOSEPH RAYMOND GRABOWSKI - St. Augustine - Joe is Central's exponent of altruism. His constant willingness to help everyone brands him as a gentleman. As student mana- ger the glory and glamour of football were not always his. Yet, unrelentless toil at his studies and athletics have only served to increase his devotion to all that is Catholic Central, this is positive assurance of Joe's success in a cynical world. RAYMOND ALPHONSUS GUMBLETON - Epiphany - If you have ever experienced the sensation of conversing with a person who so captured your attention that you were left in rather a daze, then you felt the same as the host of acquaintances who admire Ray. A bow-tie that will out- sparkle the brightest of iewels, a constant smile, and the ability to remain at perfect ease anywhere, insure this hand- some cosmopolite of a blissful career. EARL JOHN GURNACK-Assumption Grotto-Earl and his sax are certainly not strangers ta the many U.S.O. shows and other benefit musicals. The smooth, golden notes of his saxophone have carried him into the most promising young band in the city. However, Earl has found time to make the St. Basil's Club and to establish himself as an avid Latin scholar. lf the past is any indication of the future, we can only vision success for him. GERALD JOSEPH GUY-St. Agnes-The buying and selling of aged automobiles attract Jerry whose business eye is always searching for an exceptional bargain. This profitable hobby along with dancing, skating and on engaging personality have established him firmly among the elite circles at Central. It is certain that with his knowledge of physics and chemistry he will continue to advance toward greater heights in the promising field of aeronautical engineering. . . . .Seniou Q l I in I N .., .,,.. tr ,fir at -vi my .K b .it

5 ARTHUR JOSEPH HOUTTEMAN-Assumption Grotto-Gentle- man, scholar, athlete, and undoubtedly the greatest pitcher in Central baseball history, Art has hurled the Blue and White to three consecutive Catholic Championships. Our only regret was that Art could not complete his last year with us. Prematurely grasping at his chance for success, he had signed a contract to play with the Detroit Tigers and left us in the spring. ALAN DAVID HUBBELL-Epiphany-Cheerful, serious, AI has built a pedestal of friendliness at Catholic Central since his freshmen year. An advocate of every school enterprise, he stands forth as an ideal of school spirit. He has taken a resolute interest in school activities as a boxer and a guard on the intramural basketball squad. As for the future Al has decided in favor of a course in forestry at Michigan State. CHARLES HENRY HUEBNER-St. Clare de Monfefalco-The many courageous foreign correspondents, who have braved the dangers of battle to bring us first hand accounts of the war, are the ideals to whom Chuck looks. A very graceful exponent of the Terpsichorean arts, he may be found at all the popular dances. Although he expects to serve with the Marines for a time, Chuck eventually will tackle chemical engineering. . . . eniow t K Y. F HENRY DAVID JANIK-St. Hyacinth-Since he finds immense pleasure in hunting and fishing, Hank has selected scientific agriculture and conservation as the life work that will bring him fame and fortune. It will be an enioyable task for him owing to the fact that he takes a fancy to science and mathematics. His reluctance to engage the company of females prompts us to predict a carefree existence for him. ROBERT ADAM JENKINS-St. Mary of Royal Oak-Although Bob has not yet astounded the scientific world with his ex- periments in photography and electricity, he has caused many a Science Club member to gape in astonishment. He gladly donated his knowledge, time and equipment to the Spectrum in an effort to embellish it with pictures. Should this world need a mathematical genius or a brilliant physio-chemist in the post-war era, Bob will surely have the iob. FREDERICK DALY JEROY-Gesu-Socially prominent in the Class of 1945, Fred can look back over his years at Central with complete satisfaction. He finds typical delight in his hobby of accumulating antiquated musical recordings, many of which are unusually valuable. The scandalous crimes perpetrated by the malefactors of the past have so incensed Fred that his fervor will be turned ultimately toward criminology. 1
