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

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. BUCKLER Lebanon, Kentucky L Club l2l, Football l2l, Basketball ll lp Track lll, Baseball lll, Football Trophy lll, Intramural Basketball lil, Class Of- ficer l2lp Honor Court l2l, Honor Roll l3l, Choir ll l. 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

1949 .., .- 1. 1. 1, THE LION IOSEPII W. COTHRON laciesorwille, Florida L Club ll l, Cheerleader ill: Track Mgr. ll l,Waiter l2l, Honor Court l2l, Band l l lp Science Club ll l. To be frank, we don't know what we would have done this year without Joe. Always around when there is work to be done, he seems to be the first to pitch in and help. Even after he has done his share he keeps plugging. Working with him the past three years has been a pleasure. Joe has shown by his good work that he has all it takes to be a success in whatever he undertakes. With his friendly personality and Jacksonville good nature, he is a double help to others. This year Joe was very active in cheerleading and as a mem- ber of the Science Club. Nothing ever seemed to disturb him or get him upset. lt is going to be hard to forget a guy like Joe. I I. ROY DEE St. Petersburg, Florida Waiter l3l, Choir ll lg Honor Roll l2l, Annual Staff lll, Drama- tics ll l, Sodality ll l,Track ll l. lt's once in a lifetime you encounter as pleasant a guy as J. Roy . ln three years at St. Leo, J. Roy has displayed such good naturedness, that we doubt he is able to get angry. Honor roll lists are never complete here at St. Leo without J. Roy being mentioned. His quick mind, especially in the sciences, has made him a much sought after student when a physics or chemistry problem confronts his associates. J. Roy took part in track in no small measure, as he was a consistent scorer in the track meets. His tall figure could frequently be seen on the basketball court too, for long, lean Roy always gave his all for the class sake. He's a real classman, with a fine spirit that should carry him on through Notre Dame. Our prediction for J. Roy is success and more success in his post-college days. IOSEPH A. DEVLIN Clearwater, Florida Band l4l, Waiter l3l, Choir l4l, Annual Staff l2lp Rifle Team ll l, Dramatics l l lg Sodality Officer ll lg Head Waiter l l l. Joe, with his friendly smile, has always been considered the Chamber of Commerce for Saint Leo. Many a fearful lad has stepped upon the premises for the first time to find Joey , willing to give a helping hand. Never failing to-be on the iob, Joe with his ambitious nature has been admired. Nothing, no matter how big or small, ever went neglected by Joe when it had to be done. His personality is not to be found everywhere! The sin- cerity with which he did things is not to be forgotten. Whenever a dance or other important events came along, to him fell the iob of using his exceptional ability in art. For Joe we give these few words of advice: continue to show the same good spirit in life. There is a big future awaiting ahead. TWENTY-ONE
