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.

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.

Whenever there is a drive going on in the school you will always see Ted out there on top pushing the school over the 10079 mark. With his bright smile and winning personality, he has become a legend among the Seniors and the lower classmen. Besides his social stand- ing, Ted also has a high scholastic standing which is proved by his numerous appointments to the Honor Society and Honor Roll. His activities also extend into sports where he manages the baseball team and urges them on to greater victories. We wish him success in his college life at Manhattan. 1 i F l Iohn Ioseph Morton BUD St. Bartholomew's, L. I.

John's most outstanding characteristic is his effervescent humor which succeeds in keeping his classmates in the best of spirits. Ever since he came to us in 1944, john has played a prominent part in both class and extra-curric- ular activities. After school he may be found browsing through the Record room, seeking to inject his witticisms into the paper he has served so well. After graduation, John plans to pursue a course in business, and with his resourceful personality and ability he will in- evitably forge a bright and successful path in his chosen field.
