Gene, as he is familiarly called, is always good company. He has a facility at wit to lighten the more serious burdens of our every- day responsibilities. But also, Gene has dis- tinguished himself by loyalty to school and to class. All De La Salle activities for the past four years have found a most dependable agent in Gene Class activities have been enriched by his responsible participation and class games have been won by Gene's classes because of the great competition of his play. Such spirit will surely clear the path to achievement. The best of luck to you 'Gene from your fellows of the Class of '47. Iohn' Iames Collins SPORT Holy Name, Manhattan Honor Society lg Debating Society lg K.D.C. l-Z-3-45 Intramural Track 1-2-4. Sport comes to us from the West Side, and has been an excellent student since his arrival at D.L.S. In every class you will find that cer- tain quiet type of fellow who seldom says very much but is always on the ball when it comes to the Final test. We may truthfully say that in our class this personage is John Collins. Seldom heard from till exams are given or school activities are launched, then he is always in there pitching on the right side and never failing to come out on top. After graduation, john intends to enter Manhattan College, where he will study Business, and we feel sure that, with his qualities, he cannot help but be a success. FIDES

Joe's wit comes to us in two languages, English and very Huent French. But his participation in school activities comes from one source, his heart. He has also maintained a fine scholastic standard, persevering in all his subjects. After graduation, Joe intends to cross the Atlantic and settle in Italy for three years, to study music. Hoping to see him some day behind the footlights at the Met, we say, best of luck to you.

Quiet, soft-spoken, likeable: these are only some of the qualities which have made Pat quite popular at De La Salle. During his four years at D.L.S., Pat has become a familiar figure on the baseball diamond and on the basketball court, as well as being an active member of all his class intramural contests. Not only well known for his sports activities, he is constantly on the Honor Society and is well up in his studies. Pat hopes to go to Manhattan College and when he leaves De La Salle in June, the well wishes of his friends and his classmates will go with him. 1947 Iames William Cusack MOOSE St. Ioan oi Arc, Iackson Heights Honor Roll lg Fides Staff 45 K.D.C. l-2-3-45 Glee Club l-25 Poster Club Z5 Bowling 35 Intramurals: Track l-Z-35 Softball 35 Basket- ball l-2. Jim was a loss to St. Joan of Arc, but a definite asset to De La Salle. Moose as his fellow classmates affectionately tagged him, was always an active participant in class com- petition and always interested in sports. His favorite pasttime is photography, and from what we hear, he does quite well at it. At present, Moose has no definite plans for the future, but whatever field he may eventually enter we can be sure that he will come out on top.
