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

If the cinders settle slowly back over the track, and a loud noise fades slowly in the distance, you can be pretty sure that the Flushing Flash at times known as Jack Magnifico, has just breezed by. The jovial shout and none too gentle pat on the back, which usually an- nounces his arrival, are in the spirit of the good fellowship which Jack seems to have perpetually about him. No one will deny the artless exuberance of his caustic comments, but here's wishing the best of luck to a good pal, and a great D.L.S. supporter whose school spirit is above reproach.

Jim's most striking characteristic is his tre- mendous stature, as his nickname suggests. Jim has been one of the few Freshmen ever to join the Varsity basketball squad. Through his four years here at De La Salle he has been one of the mainstays of the basketball team and has also performed a capable job on the Varsity nine. His popularity with his class- mates is attested by the fact that he has twice been elected Class Secretary. Jim plans to enter Seton Hall where he intends to pursue a course in Physical Education. Good luck, jumbo, we're all with you. FIDES
