Dan came to us in his freshman year, as a witty young man of excellent humor. While at De La Salle he has shown great abilities both in the fields of study and athletics, es- pecially in track. Under Dan's more serious attitude, one can find the essence of humor, which enables him to put a spark to any social affair, and which can be verified by any senior whose residence is in Queens. After graduation, Dan intends to study Engineering, and with his attributes of wit and intelligence we feel sure he can't help but succeed. Robert Edward Dunn UBOB.. St. Ann's, Flushing-on-the-Hill.

Usually Year Book Writeups can be taken 'tcum grano salis, but in the case of Bob Dunn, oddly enough, it's all true. Bob is well liked and well known about the Institute, for he is genial, witty, and above all, thought- ful. As far as his scholastic standing goes, he's always up there with the best of them. Besides having marks well into the upper nineties, Bob has quite a few extra-curricular activ- ities which keep him busy. For well over a year now, he's been the capable Rewrite Edi- tor of the De La Salle Record and an active officer in the K.D.C. In general, whenever there's work to be done, there's always Dunn, and he's always doing it. Bob leaves us now for college and plans to study subjects ulti- mately leading to foreign trades and com- merce. 'A line lad, ambitious, and hard work- ing, we are confident of his success. 1947

Robert Thomas De Martini DEE Our Lady of Pompeii, N. Y. K.D.C. l-Z-3-45 Intramurals: Track l-2-3-45 Foot- ball 2-45 Softball 3-45 Basketball 3-45 Volley- ball 45 Handball 2. Bob DeMartini lives in Manhattan, to be specific, in Greenwich Village, famous for both Martinis and Manhattans. There has never been any feud between these clans, some liking Martinis, other preferring Manhattans, but his classmates all like Bob DiMartini from Man- hattan. Bob's abilities are not restricted to academic work alone. His performance on the field was largely responsible for 4B's victory in the class championship in football. Bob intends to enter Manhattan College and take up Business Administration. Best of luck, Bobg we are all rooting for you. Thomas Iames D'Arcy UTOM.. St. Ioan of Arc, Jackson Heights K.D.C. l-2-3-4 CSL Dominic'sl5 Baseball 2-3 CSL Dominic'sl5 Intramurals: Football 45 Ping Pong 45 Volleyball 45 Basketball 4. Although Tom came to the hallowed halls of De La Salle a short while ago, he has rapidly endeared himself to the hearts of his fellow classmates. His ready smile and cheerful per- sonality make knowing him a sheer delight. He has become an intricate part of the socials which are so frequently enjoyed by the boys. After graduation, Tom intends to study busi- ness at Manhattan College, and with his high qualities we feel sure he can not help attaining success in his college career. FIDES

'tBig John arrived at De La Salle in Sep- tember 1943 on a four year scholarship from St. Augustine, in upper Manhattan, known to the elite as The Bronx, It did not take John long to show his abilities as a great guy, for he has been a constant leader both academ- ically and socially since his first year at D.L.S. Besides his academic awards, 'ABig John has been elected as a class officer, is an ardent worker of the Record staff and well known as a debater and athlete.

We can tell some people by the way they dress or talk but 'tChief Don is known around our corridors by his authentic war cries. Don is a veritable Indian philanthropist and believes in manifesting his aspirations, for he has graced the Record with gripping stories of the back- woods. But all his energy was not spent on reservations alone for Don has proved his value as a trackman. Then as we look to his future life we can see Don on a high tower overlooking a green kingdom-good luck as a forest ranger, Don!
