'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. In short, an amiable and well liked student, returning home to Man- hattan College, The Bronx, carrying with him the best wishes of his friends here at De La Salle.

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!

Daniel Michael Donegan DAN-D St. Andrew Avellino. Flushing ' Honor Roll ly Ficles 45 K.D.C. l-2-3-45 Track l-2-3-45 Intramurals: Football 45 Softball 35 Volleyball 45 Basketball l-2-35 Bowling 3. 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

Pat is presented to us as one of the truly great personalities of the senior class. Hailing from Ascension, Pat has easily won the respect and admiration of both his fellow classmates and teachers. Although he has a qualified scho- lastic astanding, he has also found time to become one of the mainstays of the varsity nine. We understand that Pat is another Heart-Breaker with the ladies, as a result of a well known smile which is the key to his personality. After graduation Pat intends to enter Manhattan College where he will study Business Administration. Good luck Pat, and keep smiling. Thomas Michael Fleming BIG TOM Sacred Heart.

Tom, another of the Sacred Heart boys, has given to De La Salle four years of his abund- ant qualities. Always a persevering student, Tom has held himself on a par with his fellow classmates in the scholastic field as well as in the athletic department. His election as captain of the varsity track team is mute evidence of his popularity among his associates. We, his classmates, shall remember him for his ability to get things done and his never-failing wit and humor. Needless to say, Tom's future endeavors will be of the same caliber as those of the past. 1947
