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

'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!
