HOCKEY - BOB SCANLON Bob began his athletic career at La Salle in his sophomore year when he took position as left wing on the hockey team. Starring as first-string center the following year Bob drew the attention of the fans and won much credit both for himself and his coach. To top 05 Bob's success he was made Captain of the '46-'47 hockey squad and earned for himself the recognition of every spectator who saw him play. One Hundred Twenty-four MAROO FOOTBALL - GEORGE KASPARIAN George came to us from Nathanael Greene in '43 and immediately rose to fame as captain of the .lay Vee football squad. In forty-four his tal- ents were discovered and he was instantly placed as first-string right tackle on the Varsity' Team. He entered the Coast Guard in '45 and served actively in the Atlantic and Pacific. Upon returning to La Salle in '46 his team-mates unanimously voted him captain of the '46 varsity football squad. May George maintain that certain way about him that makes him well-liked by everyone he comes in contact with. w l CROSS-COUNTRY -- LOU LEPRY Last year the La Salle track team was paced by several harriers of all- state standing, one of whom was Lou Lepry, who set the pace for the Maroon cross-country runners this year. Everyone has the same opinion of Lou. a swell guy and a good runner who has proved himself one of the finest harriers ever to set foot on a track for La Salle. Lou, whom we all know is well-deserving, has won the highest recognition of his team- mates and fans.
