Although a busy student, he man- aged to find time to ride his favorite steed and to splash in the cool blue waters of his favorite lake. He plans to leave college with a B.A. after his name. ROBERT JAMES JENSEN-St. Scholastica-Soft-spoken and unobtrusive, Bob has made his way through high school in a worthy manner. His talent toward the sciences and his prominence as a member of the science club are only a few of his achievements. Bob has a particular liking for flying and hopes to solo this summer. Perhaps this will be a foundation for his life's work. ROBERT EDWARD JOSAITIS-Epiphany-Every fall the glor- ious call of nature summons Bob to enioy the outdoor thrills of hunting and fishing. A consistent honor student Josie also reliably looked after the secretarial affairs of the Science Club.

PHILIP WILLIAM KAY-St. Rita-One of the few loyal four-year members of the Catholic Central Band, Phil will never regret the valuable experience he gained under the competent guidance of Fr. Regan and Mr. Ryan. His studies, too, showed determination and cooperation and his marks were the fruits of his labor. Phil is undecided whether to continue in music or start anew in another fi'eld. FRANK EARL KENNEY-St. Mary's of Redford-A true Casanova and lover of iazz, Frank was one of the leaders of the social life before his graduation in January which was necessitated by the then existing draft laws.

The hal- lowed halls of U. of M. shall echo his hearty laugh and shine with the zeal of his sincerity.

WILLIAM LAWRENCE LAMB-St. Benedict-While making his way leisurely down the road of high school endeavors, this laconic lad has gained the friendship of all through his quick wit and quiet understanding.

Bill plans to enter college in quest of a degree in engineering. ALBERT JOSEPH LAPSHAN-St. Thomas the Apostle-Gifted with a glib tongue, the Cicero of the seniors has distinguished himself both in oratory and dramatics.

EUGENE CHARLES LaVASCO-St. Matthew-Amiable in manner and steadfast in spirit, Gene has achieved great heights while at C.C.H. His fancy for fashionable attire and his tactful prudence in displaying them has indicated a discriminating characteristic of all his decisions.
