Ex I E 'Ed' J X - ROBERT HARDY Robert reported back to us last year, after a brief sojourn in the South, to tell us that there is not a single school between here and Florida that can compare with John Bapst. Bob owned one of the old- est but most dependable cars ever to make the journey across the Brewer bridge. He plans to attend Bowdoin next year, and we know that he will win his way into the hearts of all with whom he comes in contact. JOHN HAYES John, a J. B. man in basketball last year, came up with a leg injury this year to keep him out of sports. Two-thirds of Brother Michael's English periods are spent answer- ing John's questions. John hails from the East side and is more often seen on the West, where he tells us he is interested in mortician's work???? We wonder about that, John. Whatever his course in life, John is sure to succeed because of his energetic and loyal determina- tion. CHARLES HOGAN Charlie is the smiling bashful Senior who is bound to leave a raft of friends when he graduates from Bapst. Charlie managed to con- ceal his piano playing ability during his scholastic course, but he can't go on just playing for himself. We predict that Charles will one day head a talented family of musicians and will be the essence of respecta- bility. He is the third and last of ,the Hogans to graduate from Bapst. We hope Charles will be as loyal and as enthusiastic as his brother and sister. Good luck, Charlie, at Maine.

RICHARD HOWELL Dick is the most popular boy in Bapst. Wherever you go, you will find Dick well received and thor- oughly at home. It wasn't until he became a Senior that Dick broke into the entertainment field. His song and dance number was easily the most heartily received of any of the boy and girl combinations. Dick is the only mailman in town who rings twice. He can turn a good account of himself slinging cokes, and he was a very important mem- ber of the Bapstonian staff. ROBERT HOWELL Bob hails from St. Mary's. Al- though he never played varsity ath- letics, he is still recognized as one of the better athletes at Bapst. His only comment on things in general is, Well, that's the way it goes. He is well liked by all the members of the Senior Class and is always willing to lend a helping hand. Al- though Bob is still undecided about the future, he has been giv- ing some thought to attending the U. of M. to take up physical educa- tion. FREDERICK LAWRENCE Freddie might well be referred to as Mr. Substantial. We know of no other Senior who could be de- pended upon more securely than the irrepressible f'Freddie. He has been a hearty contributor to all ac- tivities, whether he partakes or not. Freddie is responsible for many of the Senior write-ups appearing in this book. He has a much keener sense of observation than one would be apt to credit him with. Freddie is apt, too, at dealing out cokes, He holds the unbeatable record of hav- ing attended all home games. Good luck, Freddie E3 iff' Q5 Yi S X x X fi mx f s -i fs.f7 LQSX 'L Z ,-A W Y'D'l se fffi M .e

RUDOLPH LeBLANC Rudy holds the record of being the youngest Senior ever to gradu- ate. We doubt if anyone will sur- pass his record. When it comes to sports, Rudy can hold his own. The best three cents Rudy ever spent was for a letter to Millinocket. Rudy's best subject is English and he is a member of the B. B. I.'s. He has proved to be the top man in 4C when growing beards is the topic. We are all still trying to find out his secret. Does he use Hair-Gro or mustache wax? Rudy plans to complete a four year course at the U. of M. before he is old enough to be drafted. VIRGIL LeBLANC Virgil Lanky LeBlanc topped off his scholastic career at Bapst by proving to one and all that his services as an alternate in basket- ball were indispensable. Not only his reach and his long strides up and down the court, but also his deft handling of his little brother Rudolph proved invaluable. Virg impressed upon Rudy that he should use his own judgment. It is quite likely that Virgil will stay in the athletic department. And who knows? He may some day be a coach who is the power behind a winning combination in the Eastern Maine Tournament. BOB LeGASSE Bob came to Bapst last year and brought, among other grand qualities, a very likable disposition. Bob ran into some severe diffi- culty in making adjustments neces- sary to fit his strictly classical course into a more general academic setup. He has managed well up to now and we hope he continues to do well to the end. He has a great interest in biology and nature stud- ies all of which might well prove his fortune. He has a thorough re- ligious background and a lot of high principles. We feel sure he will do well when he leaves Bapst. .
