It is evident by Walter's impressive record that his talents have been put to good use. Since entering De La Salle, he has constantly held down top positions in the classroom and on the athletic field. However, the records can- not express the warmth of this amiable lad's personality. Suffice it to say, his friendship is penetrating and enduring. Although an able speaker, oratory holds no place in Walter's career, but rather the slide rule and pro- tractor. He plans to continue his education at some engineering school and we, -his friends and classmates, know that with his talent and personality, only success lies ahead for him. 1947 Robert Organ HBOB..

Hailing from the East Side, Bob came to De La Salle in January, 1944, and was one of the fortunate few to be accelerated in his second year. Since coming to De La Salle, Bob has made great progress in scholarship, in the field of social activities and in sports. One of this likeable fellow's greatest assets is his ability to make friends. Besides this, he possesses the quality of dependability. In all school activities he can always be counted upon to do his full share. Bob plans to study engineering at Man- hattan and we, his classmates, wish him the greatest of luck and success.

Bob, from Flushing, L.I., has that winning personality added to a brilliant scholastic record, which made him a popular figure at D.L.S. His witty sayings and humorous jokes along with fso the girls say, his cute smile, are the prime reasons for his widespread pop- ularity. During his years on the swimming team he has been its most dependable main- stay. It is said that he has also distinguished himself as a hunter and Fisherman. Yet, out of these many abilities it is probable that his personality and scholastic record explain his decision to be a lawyer. He will study for his degree at Georgetown University.
