Walter O'Leary WALTER De Lu Salle Institute K.D.C. l-2-3-45 Honor Society l-2-3-45 Record Staff 2-3-45 ,Debating 3-45 Varsity Baseball Manager 2-3-45 Varsity Basketball Manager 2-3-4. 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.

A genial, heart-warming -smile is the most distinguished characteristic of this amiable fel- low. After meeting him, the warmth and heartiness of his personality soon win you over to his friendship. This likeable lad makes friends easily and has no trouble keeping them. But he is as versatile as he is friendly. Ever since entering De La Salle, Al, who hails from Ascension, has made a record in scholastic achievement, social activities and athletics that he and his Alma Mater can well be proud of.
