lt is a particular honor to be selected as the outstanding athlete of a class noted for athletic prowess. By a landslide vote, amiable George Schmidt has been ac- corded this distinction, and iustifiably so. ln basket- ball, his unending variety of shots, his brilliant back- board work and smooth floor play resulted, to a major degree, in the gaining of a playoff berth by the O'Brien- men, and also brought about his selection as the recipi- ent of the William H. Markward citation for sportsman- ship and unusually fine play. George was also voted to the second team All-Catholic squads. Then, his performances on the baseball diamond, alternating as coach Woltemate's third baseman or shortstop, have been worthy of additional praise. His play at these positions has been characterized by the same aggres- siveness, skill and determination to win that were evi- dent on the basketball court. And George's successes have not changed his easy going personality. To have achieved all this and still maintained a good scholastic record is a further accomplishment of George Schmidt, a ball player's ball player, and athlete of the year. CDUTSTANDI This year's choice for the most activity-minded senior of the graduating class is William Lalferty. Since com- ing to LaSalle from Incarnation parish, Bill has been the personihcation of activity in furthering all that is LaSalle in co-curricular and extra-curricular aHairs. Sportswise, he has proved himself on the football team and in intramurals. Then, his argumentative Lpowers have always been a threat to challengers in debating, and his dramatic ability has won him leading roles in the Cape and Sword productions. Bill's literary talent is evidenced in his Wisterian articles, and his sonorous bass has been used to good extent in glee club offerings. ln addition to participating in so many LaSalle activities, Bill has found time to represent the school in various competitions sponsored by Philadelphia colleges and universities. Worthy of particular mention was his se- lection as Governor of the model State Assembly pre- sented by Temple University, a function at which he otliciated as a member of our IRC. Finally, besides all these commitments, Bill has been the president of 45, and has taken part in the deliberations of the Student Council.
