1949 .. . -, THE LION THE SENIORS CLASS OFFICERS President Secretary William Buckler James Mallory Vice President Treasurer Raymond Howd William Maus The Senior class of 49 , though it has only 28 members in comparison to last year's graduat- ing class of 49, has earned a prominent position among the graduating classes of St. Leo because of its determination and good spirit. The class was born September 7, 1943, when seven boys started in the seventh grade. As to drop out, so out of the original seven only three are left. They are: John Dion, John Ware, and Eoghan Kelley. This class has twice defeated the other classes of the school in competition for the Brown Jug , an intramural basketball award, succeeding in its sophomore and senior years. Scholastic trophies, class pins, athletic trophies, awards in swimming, football, tennis, track, riflery, baseball, and band have been won by members of this Senior class. Last year's prom, believed one of the greatest ever held here, was produced by the Seniors of this year. The backbone and driving force of this year's varsity football team was the eleven seniors on the squad. It was their will to win that carried the 49 football squad to one of its greatest sea- the years flew by more boys came and a few had sons. WILLIAM F.

Voted the most popular senior was Billy B , who in three years at St. Leo has distinguished himself in every way. On the gridiron he was captain of the football team for two years. He was a member of the first five in basketball. Although he was of the quiet sort, his words are always wel- comed, because of their wisdom. He was chosen president of both the Senior class and the L Club for that reason. As the leader of the class, Bill always seemed to find time to be of assistance to anyone. Many a chem problem has been solved by Bill's magic touch. Our appreciation for him both as a friend and an organizer, can't be shown enough in these few words. His scholastic record is one of which to be proud, as he always was in the running for honors. In future years we expect to see Bill making a name for himself. With his determination and ability to do things, it shouldn't be hard for him. NINETEEN

THE LION 'I949 BRICE D. BERRY Nassau, BHIIHHIOS Choir l2l,Waiter l2l, Chronicle ll l. Brice has given the class something we won't forget. His God save the king! saying has made us remember that there are other people living in the world besides those in the United States. His gentlemanly ways made his presence always a pleas- ure Due to his cultured diplomacy he is considered the diplomat to be of the class. Although the tallest member, he has always seemed to be where he should be at the right time. Being the oldest member of the class hasn't hindered his pop- ularity. In fact, because of his age, his wisdom is sought and ap- preciated by all. Berry gave a lot of his time in helping Brother Albert in the infirmary, that is, when you were sick Brice usually saw to it that you were fed. So as Brice leaves for the fair islands of the Bahamas, we send our best wishes with him. HUGH I. CANNY, Ill Miami. Fla. L Club lily Football Manager lil, lntramural Basketball ll lg Sodality lllg Choir l I lg Track lil, Chronicle ll l. If being an egregious lawyer is any measure of success then Hugh can't help being a topnotcher. Whenever the boys are holding a gab session Hugh can be depended upon to enliven the proceedings with his witticisms. Hugh has been a member of the L Club, his lab as football manager entitling him to it. He played intramural basketball this past year and has cavorted on the cinder path. As business manager of the Chronicle, Hugh is well known in surrounding towns. His friendly attitude makes him a valuable ad- dition to any lab ln pursuing a law course Hugh presently plans to enter Flori- da, where we envision him as a high ranking student. Hugh has all the prerequisites of becoming an outstanding alumnus. Here's our wishes to you, Hugh, for a brilliant future. PAUL li. CANOVA Slarlec, Florida Intramural Basketball l2l, Honor Roll l2l, Band l2l, Baseball l2l . One of the bigger boys of the class, yet Paul has certainly shown a real example of a friendly disposition. When a dispute arose it was Paul who always was the mediator. While he was here never was he known to have spoken a harsh word against anyone. lt is little things like that which made us respect him so much. Paul has participated in intramurals, and was an asset to his class winning the class basketball tournament. He did not play a varsity sport because of ineligibility. lt's people like Paul that we expect to go somewhere. Our faith in him has been shown by his popularity among the students. ln his two years here he has shown that he intends to make good. The best of luck to you, Paul, and may you be as successful in after life as you were at Saint Leo. TWENTY
