I I J Q N wi J :lHlll! i .. Z TH oN AN -re ldv JOHN JOSEPH LEFEBVRE Joe's chief claim to fame while at La Salle lies in his ability to make the teams. Many times have headlines told us of his great play on the gridiron, diamond and basketball court. Friendliness to all and non- chalance to worries, is Joe's code. He is one of the better dancers and singers of the senior class. We need not worry about Joe's success, his forceful way and persistence will help him immensely. THOMAS JosEPH LOUTH Tom is a true La Salle ma oing about his tasks in a quiet, conscienf tious manner I ,De nature is jolly in disposition These two characteristic e t .

Only those who are intimate with him realize the sterling qualities of his person' ality that appeal to the good and the virile. In a remarkable comeback, he has mastered his texts, marshalled the forces of the football team to the championship and excelled in the two major dramatic offerings of the year. THOMAS PATRICK WALL Tom is six feet three of political fame. With the good sense that makes him one of La Salle's leading scholars, and that energy which made him one of our track mainstays, as high jumper, he clinches his arguments. Tom put his forensic ability to use in the school debating society. His pen was one of the Marooii and White's best weapons. With his def termination, we feel he will be a success in his chosen college, Brown. Fortyffour

RAYMOND MICHAEL KELLY Ray is a youth who manages to keep himself in the background, after his work has been accomplished No idle boasts escape his lips, nor does he indulge in the flare for pseudo comics. He takes his work seriously and accomplishes it with great results.

Q RAYMOND GEDEON LAMBERT A firm believer in dignified conduct at all times, Ray is persevering in his efforts to uphold the dignity of the Senior Class. By way of research, however, we Hnd in his records that he has always been active in extraf curricular activities. During his stay at La Salle, Ray found time to play football, and to take part in Glee Club activities. We are sure that the future holds great things for him. ANGELO LAPOLLA It has been said that Music hath charms. Through the medium of his violin, Angelo has acquired the friendship of all his associates. Besides being 'sRubin0ff,' in the school orchestra, he plays the piccolo in the band and he has mastered the cello. He has merited a number of Silver letters for his scholastic excellence.

GEGRGE JAMES MCCULLOUGH Four years ago George came breezing into the school and everyone sat up and took notice. His happy disposition and wise cracks make him the fairfhaired boy of Four Dee. George never gave created illusions as to his scholarly ambitions but he keeps on going. He is one of the main' stays of the track team, and may be seen often and anywhere in his blue coupe. George intends to matriculate at R. I. State. HENRY FRANCIS MCDONNELL Although diminutive in stature and slight of build, Henry possesses a mind of extraordinary capacity. Never once in four years at the Acad' emy has he failed to attain the coveted Gold Letter, the highest award given to any student. Upon attaining seniority, Henry turned his attention to dramatics and the Glee Club. In view of his past achieve' ments and his unusual ability, his success at Providence College should be outstanding. HUBERT JOSEPH MCGQVERN Blessed with an aptitude for making La Salle's Honor Rolls, Mac belongs to the intelligentia of our school. Mentally he is a wizard, sartorially he is perfect, conversationally he is entertaining. Mac is convinced that his next step in attaining a clutch on a worthfwhile vocation must needs be in the direction of a college. Accordingly he proposes to enter one. JOHN THOMAS MCGOVERN God and nature constructed the physiognomy exhibited in the accompany' ing picture. Mac's affinity for books was not as unfruitful as the honor roll might show, but, dear reader, the honor roll frequently is not the measure of a student's intellectual ability. 'LMac is always cheerful save in his adverse moments when he emphatically gives vent to unbiased opinions concerning some pedagogue. His present cogitations as to the pursuit of his vocation is still unsettled. Fortyffve
