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. We, his classmates, know he will make as im- pressive a record at Manhattan, where he plans to matriculate, as he did at De La Salle. 1947

Occasionally, there comes to De La Salle, a youth particularly favored by the gods. Of such a nature is our own Jerry Smith. Scholar, par excellence, jerry has led his companions and his school with outstanding Honor Society tradition, during his four years. On the athletic field, Smitty has been a common name, and one which has covered itself with glory, either pounding down the basketball court for an- other basket, or slashing a long drive to left Held on the baseball diamond. Yes, De La Salle has seen some great qualities in jerry Smith, and wherever he may go upon gradu- ation, we know that his ambition will be more than amply fulfilled.

Early one September morn, there left Ascen- sion parish one of its Finest students - Dan Rogan. As a Freshman he was a quite observ- ing fellow and a good mixer. It was not long after that numerous capabilities began to show themselves. A gentleman, unassuming, well dressed and always on top in the scholastic and athletic field, Dan has been an idol to all his classmates and so with regret we bid him good-bye and good luck in pursuing a course in Medicine at Fordham.
