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

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.

el'li0'l.'J 0 0 0 JOHN RICHARD JOSAlTlS--Epiphany-The science af me- chanics and flight have always been a source at curiosity to Jacky yet, this conundrum has only spurred him on to ferret out the secrets ol aviation. He has entered his models into sundry airplane meets, and several times has captured inter- national as well as national honors. lt is our earnest wish that someday he shall, as did the daring Siegrid, soar to the heights of Valhalla. GEORGE JOACHIM KRYMOW-St. Scholastica-Prima facie, silent, tactful, George seems to possess the traits familiar only to a good student, but underneath he has at his com- mand exceptional agility, mentally as well as physically. His experience with radio and electricity have made him swift and alert in his decisons. Were we to prognosticate his future, we would see for him unlimited success in college engineering and a career that would parallel Marconi's. ROBERT LAWRENCE KUKLER-Holy Rosary-Philately, the king of hobbies, has opened for Bob a vast repertory of knowledge and has engendered in him the germ of philanthropy. Through his discovery of the customs, ideals and traditions of the world, he has established a clearer understanding of his fellow-man, Postewar security will hinge on the adoption of Charity. lt is certain that Bob will be one of its out- standing proponents. PAUL CHARLES LA MARREfSt. Mary of Redford-Attention, Tiger scouts! There is an individual in our midst whose baseball ability is well worth noting. A stellar hurler on our varsity for the last two years, this handsome, talented gradu- ate has succeeded in maintaining a four year honor average. With an eye to the future, Paul hopes that upon termination of his service with the Marine Corps, he may return to secure a college education. JOHN RICHARD LANDRY-Epiphany-Laconic, but expressive, small in stature, yet tall in virtue, Jack can always be found among informal discussions, giving either his advice or con- structive criticisms. ln his spare time the novelty of philately lascinates him. His attraction toward Latin and English are a sure sign that next fall will find him in attendance at the Notre Dame College of Arts and Letters. BRIAN JEROME LEAVYV- Gesu-A high scorer in the Blood and Thunder intramural basketball league and one of the glamour boys ot the Senior Class, Promoter holds three perfectly cast keys to success: intelligence, personality, and physical stamina. His accomplishments in the classroom and on the basketball court promise to be dwarfed in the years to come, when the title of M.D. will grace the name of so afloble and capable a graduate. . :S VS. - :Q t ftefhis r ESE RS 's .
