Bob entered his Freshman year in 1926, and readily became quite popular. He made the varsity baseball in his sec- ond, third and fourth years and also in his fourth year the Cross Country team. He played basketball very successfuly on the class team in his second and fourth years. ln his studies, too, Bob has proven himself a hard worker. He has also been known as one of Rudy Vallee's crooning rivals. Bob has the intention of studying for an A. B. at Fordham University, and we feel sure he will be successful in any venture. While in college Bob will no doubt bring his athletic prowess to per- fection and we shall hear in the near fu- ture of his good work on the varsity. ANDREW R. KIRBY -what be does it well done. Dick Fordham Prep. Clan Secretory 3,' K. D. C. 2, 3, 4,' Torch Slab' 4,' Debating Society 2, 3, 4,' Arcloronfraterfziiy 2, 3, 4. Dick entered De La Salle in his sopho- more year. He immediately showed his talents and ability to work by leading the class in all his studies. Throughout his high school years he maintained first place and was awarded the excellence medal each year. Much of his time is devoted to music. Having heard him sing at social functions of his Alma Ma- ter, we can vouch that he is quite a pro- ficient baritone. However, Dick has one particular weakness. science. We should not be surprised if some day we find that he has revised the Einstein Theory of Relativity. Dick intends to go to Fordham, after which he will study electrical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Now the time has arrived when we must say good-bye to Dick. but the memory of his friendship will always remain with us X lil .fi 'Ll

It was a bright September day when John entered the portals of De La Sale, and he has helped to keep the day bright ever since. John chose De La Salle as his Alma Mater from the beginning, for he came here in his freshman year. Grand- pa's unassuming and amiable qualities quickly won for him, not only the ac- clamation of the class but of the whole student body as well. Grandpa possesses the qualities of a good mixer, which he has used to his advantage. John has always been a good student and co-opera- tor with his teachers. All undertakings of our Alma Mater have met with the whole-hearted support of our John. He is a source of endless wit, too. to which he may give vent at the most solemn mo- ments. His broad smile will long be re- flected in the corridors of De La Salle and our wishes for success accompany Grandpa in all his future undertakings. JAMES FETHERSTDN Like a rock imma:-'able if be. J immie, Feathers Ascension Grand Krzigbl of K. D. C. 4,' Sect. of K. D. C. 3,' K. D.

Ascension lost one of her finest stu- dents when Jimmie decided on De La Salle as his Alma Mater. As a freshman he was a quiet, observing' fellow and a good mixer. lt was not long before his numerous capabilities began to show themselves and it was not long before the class recognized in him a man of many contentions. Ever since the start he has been with the class and in all four years has proven himself an athlete and a scholar. For three consecutive years he has represented his class on the basket- ball court. In his junior year he formed part of the relay team. During his ju- nior year and senior year he has also shown himself to be a debater of great renown. His past performances assure us that success will be his lot and our parting wish is with that termination in view. It is with great regret that we bid Jimmie au revoir. J . L- IP r ,.. i..

'fllace 'llioreli JAMES MEADE Few lbingr are impoxiible to diligence and Mill. Jimmy, General P. S. 89 K. D. 1, 2, 3, 4,' Clan Relay 2, 35 Clan Bmketball 2, 3,' Torch Sfdjf. On September twentieth, four years ago, a bashful. belated group of young- sters was herded into the auditorium of De La Salle. Among that Freshman class was one whose composure gave many a heart cheer on that memorable morning. Jimmy Meade all through his high school career, as on that first morning, has faced everything and everyone with a smile, and with an original sense of humor. General has always been a loyal and true supporter of De La Salle, and Jimmy's retiring qualities, and desire to shun the lime- light, have served to make him one of the most popular members of the class. The traditions of De La Salle have been built on the concrete foundation of men whose spirits were such as Jimmy's and now that he is about to leave the old class. we hope that he will say au revoir but not adieu. Good luck, Jim. JOHN MEANY BleJ.red influence of one true loving mul on analberf' Jack Blessed Sacrament K. D. C. I, 2, 3, 4,' Clan Track Team 3, 4,' junior Varxily 4,' Torrb Slaff 4: Swimming Team 4,' Clair Barkellmll 4. On his graduation from Blessed Sacrament, back in 1926, John Meany immediately chose De La Salle as his future Alma Mater. He entered the por- tals smiling, and the walls of De La Salle will reflect that smile long after Jack has left. Jack is a quiet, amiable fellow who has proven himself a good mixer, a good sport and a gentleman. V He has always kept himself well on the safe side of the scholastic balance because of his interest in his studies. His endeavors have also included athletics, for he has been a mainstay on the class relay team and the basketball team as well as having served on the varsity swimming team. It is Jack's intentions to enter Fordham and take up dentistry, and we are sure that the success of his high school career will follow him in his future endeavors. Au revoir, Jack.
