Ray entered De La Salle in the Fall of 1946 and in one short year has gained the respect and friendship of his classmates. His loyalty to his old Alma Mater, La Salle Academy, has been the source of many playful arguments with the staunch Red and Blue supporters. He is an energetic student and one of the main- stays of our class intramurals team. After com- pleting his studies at De La Salle, Ray hopes to obtain his B.A. at St. Francis College.

Quiet and studious, Pat is an always welcome member of any group whether it be at the current Varsity basketball game or at Felcher's. Coming to De La Salle as a member of our accelerated group, his ability to form friend- ships soon made him an integral part of the school. Pat intends to enter Manhattan Col- lege where we know that the qualities which made him an outstanding member of the class of '47 will continue to win him success and friends. 1947

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

Ascension gave Alma Mater one of her finest students when jim decided to come here. His ability to mix with any crowd and his serious- ness in and out of class indicates that he will go far in business, his future career. But this is only one phase of Jim's personality. Jim is also very popular with the girls. It seems that every school dance finds him with a different charming Senorita. As far as sports are con- cerned, jim loves them all and roots for his home team whenever the occasion permits. Jim intends to follow his business course at Man- hattan College. Good luck, Jim, keep firing and you'll hit the target of success. Iohn Ioseph McAnif:E DIXIE Blessed Sacrament, L. I. K.D.C. l-2-3-45 I.V. Basketball 2-3g I. V. Base- ball Zg Track l-2g Swimming l. Hailing from Blessed Sacrament School in Queens, Dixie entered De La Salle in his Freshman year. When Dixie's name is men- tioned, we immediately think of his great sense of humor and good nature. An avid hockey fan, Dixie loves to participate in and watch hockey matches. Beneath a front of humor, .we ind Dixie,' to be serious, especially in regard to his future. Upon his graduation from De La Salle, he will enter New York University to study medicine. We all wish him success in his chosen career and feel certain he will make good. 1 l l FIDES '
