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 '

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.

For four memorable years at De La Salle we have had the pleasure of associating with our boy, Ray. He is one of the best liked fellows in the class with a sense of humor that tops the list. A day has yet to pass when we couldn't Find him in the best of moods and always eager to participate in events that would help bring his class ahead of the rest. His extra-curricular activities have not in the least affected his studies as his scholastic record may well dem- onstrate. Fordham University will be lucky to receive such a person into its halls, and we wish him the best of luck there. 1947 Ioseph Iarnes McGurk ICE SL Ioan oi Arc. L. I.

Joe made his mark, not only as an excellent student, but also as a good sportsman, creating quite a name for him- self on the Varsity baseball team. The fellows all found him to be a good joe, which in the language of the G.I. and the D.L.S. stu- dent means he is -a right guy. De La Salle's loss will be Manhattarfs gain.
