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.

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.

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 '

This is a familiar question heard every morning after a basket- ball game. Joe has been a steady member of the Junior Varsity and Varsity basketball squads. If you were to watch him play you could easily tell that he puts his heart and soul in the game. Light, blond and muscular, joe hails from downtown Manhattan, his native land being in Pennsylvania. He entered De La Salle in '43, and ever since has reaped a harvest of friends. This being credited to his jolly, boisterous and friendly personality. Joe's ambition is to be a physical instructor and Manhattan College will be his new home. Good luck, Joe. Robert William Moretta ..BoB,. St. Gabriel's.

Bob is one of those fellows you meet once in a lifetime. His antics both in and out of class have amused his classmates for the past four years. With all his entertaining qualities, Bob is always willing to lend a hand and listen to everyone's troubles. He maintains a good scho- lastic record and at the same time is very active in sports. Bob is interested in traveling and will probably see the wonders of the world after graduation. Whatever he does, we know that Bob will always come out on top.
