I RICHARD ANGELO DECESARE COLLEGE COURSE “To take things as they be, that is my philosophy.” Another good-natured lad from Burditt Hill, with a bright smile and sporty clothes. “Dick” has proved himself capable in dramatics as well as in the classroom. He distinguished him- self in Inter-class Dramatics and has taken an active part in all class activities. The fact that he has taken a fourth year of Latin in his stride is proof of his intellectual ability. With these outstanding qualities, we expect that “Dick” will make a name for himself in the future.
