Hoffy is an ardent defender of the suprem- acy of New Jersey over the entire forty-eight States. As a result of this and his democratic attitude on politics he never ceases entering into Hdebatesf' to defend his stand. But, over- looking these shortcomings, 'tHoffy has be- come quite popular both among his fellow classmates and the faculty. He is active in school and class activities and is a supporter of all social functions. His personality knows no bounds. After graduation, he intends to pur- sue a course in business at Manhattan College and we feel certain that his success will carry him to a bright and new future. ' 1947 Iames Michael Kennelly UHM..

Jim is a native of Elmhurst, Long Island. In September, 1943, St. Bartholomew gave to De La Salle what was to become one of her most outstanding scholastic, as well as athletic pupils. Throughout four years in De La Salle, Jim has been in the top five in his studies. In sports, Jim earned a set of numerals for base- ball and basketballg a letter for j.V. baseball and for Varsity basketball. When Jim leaves the happy halls of D.L.S. it will be a decided loss but a gain to the Held of his future en- deavors.

The class of ,47 will remember 'LSteve for his ready wit and his amiable personality. Steve, who journeys from Jackson Heightts every day, has made a host of friends since he came to us in '44. His ability to write has gotten him the job of feature editor on the 'KRecord, which, through his extensive skill, he fills well. Even though his work on the paper keeps him busy, we can always depend on him when help is needed in a class or school activity. Steve's versatile manner and sense of humor has en- deared him to his fellow classmates and they all join in wishing him the highest success in the Held which he chooses.

Pat returned to De La Salle in September of 1946 after serving a two-year hitch with our Navy. Pat saw action in the Pacific and par- ticipated in the initial landing on. the Japanese mainland. He soon readjusted himself to the academic grind and proceeded to renew old friendships and create new ones. Pat's person- ality is not his only pleasant feature by far, for he has distinguished himself both scho- lastically and athletically, by hard work. His wavy red hair immediately catches the eye. Pat intends to enter Manhattan College where we are sure he will be a credit to Alma Mater and a success in the future.

However, in the course of the year he has revealed himself as a good student, fine companion, and a real De La Salle man. Accordingly, he has been absorbed into our student body quite naturally. His sparkling eyes indicate sympathy to just what might be at hand. jim is great company not only because he is a good listener but also he can have his say with words of fun that carry a long way. Success to all your en- deavors, Jim. George Frederick Kerwer IO-AGE Blessed Sacrament, Iackson Heights Honor Society, l-2-35 Honor Roll l-Z-3-45 K.D.C. l-2-3-45 Record 2-3-45 Fides 45 Intramurals!

Gen- erous, affable, warm, he succeeds in bringing true companionship wherever he may go, In addition to being a scholarship student of keen intellect, George has received the enviable reputation of being a master of swing and a connoisseur of modern jazz records. Well known for his write-ups of school sports, he is quite a sport enthusiast. He literally haunts the Garden and is a real fan, playing every sport as well and as eagerly as he follows it. We all feel sure that with his high qualities, George cannot help but be a success in any field he may enter. FIDES
