Three years ago he came to Cranwell. When he arrived he spoke little or no English, and to him even a light snowfall was something to gaze upon in awe. But times have changed. Last year he starred in basketball and on free afternoons he tried his luck at hockey. His luck, or shall we say de- termination was undaunted and this year finds him a standby with those ice cutting cowboys dressed in the gold and blue of our beloved school. But that isn't all with this suave South American. juan is an excellent student and the effect of his labor has been felt in most every school activity. His well trained voice is a bright note at Benediction and his cheerful words are well known about the campus. As a perfect gentleman, and amiable companion, a brilliant scholar and a sturdy athlete, juan has all the qualities necessary for success. - ' f QPIIREO Page Twenty ezght I. q ilf wf Qui gl ,ally N 4 W, i.

wil? 5' W 11 .fQ,,a fy' Carlos came to us from across the Waters, Vene- zuela. His ever congenial character, his conta- gious laughter and fascinating tales of the tropics always created many pleasant moments for his classmates. It was always a rare treat to have him dramatize his various experiences with expressive gestures, flashing eyes, and hilarious pantomime. His sturdy frame and shifty drib- bling helped St. Joseph,s Hall win the victory pennant in intramural basketball. Most of all he excelled in soccer, a very popular sport in South America. We all admire his courage which propelled him towards the perfection of Eng- lish, and though handicapped at Hrst by the un- familiar tongue he speedily mastered it to gain later a profitable satisfaction from his studies. We shall long remember his dynamic personal- ity, his irrepressible good nature, his entertain- ing wit and above all his loyalty as a friend. These will surely carry him to a successful ca- reer in his native Venezuela. fn? as J 'll,lllliif,.f If as GU l CARLOS EDUARDO DELFINO, R Nickname: Bobo College Intention: Catholic University ACTIVITIES Intramural Basketball 3, 4g Intramural Foot- ball 3, 4, Intramural Hockey 3, 4, Varsity Basketball 3, 4g Sodality 2, 3, 4, Counselor 4g Staff of The Well 43 Riding Club 3, 4.

During his four years at Cranwell he has won by conscientious effort and untiring zeal, the distinction of being a true Catholic gentleman. His athletic ability is not confined to any one sport for he shows equal adroitness on the left wing position of the hockey team and the right half slot on Cran- well's eleven. In the many intramural activities, Bob is always there fighting for Xavier. With the coming of warm weather, Bob is out on the golf course polishing his wizardry of the fair- ways. All these physical activities together with his scholarly achievement and beaming convi- viality will certainly help to advance him when he joins the armed forces, and also mark him down in the annals of Cranwell as a grand friend and a regular fellow. ,f'f , N l ROBERT LEROY DISCHINO N iclename: Dish,' College Intention: Parks Air College Service Intention: Army Air Corps ACTIVITIES Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4, Debating 2, 35 Staff of The Well 2, 3, 4g Staff of the Bell Tower 4g Band 3, Cheer Leader 4g Varsity Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4, Varsity Football 3, 45 Intramural Football 1, 2.
