Where there's activity, there's John Soupy Dion. No other student can boast the filled activity list Soup shows in his six years at St. Leo. As the editor of the annual, and its chief driving force, Soup deserves plaudits for his zealous labor. Longest in attendance, yet shortest in size, Soupy typifies the ideal student, for he holds honors in the classroom, in the student governing body, and on the athletic field. Soupy's sports schedule is one to be envied for he has been a first stringer in basketball and baseball for two years. Soupy has gained eight L's , having participated also in track and foot- ball. ln the classroom John also was out front, for he gained the scholastic trophy twice and the coveted class pin once.

John always has a smile on his face no matter how dark the outlook. His amiable personality has made him a popular senior, never lost for a cheery word. His smallish stature has made him the butt of many iokes which he takes graciously, but with a prompt good natured retort. John has played in all four maior sports, besides being an active participant in swimming, and tennis, his outstanding game. The monitors were bestowed with a worthy member to their illustrious ranks when he became Monitor John in his iunior year. In this position John, or Red as we know him, has done a com- mendable iob in leading the youth of the school. Here's to Red , with our best wishes for the future! IOHN I. EGAN. IR.

Although Jack has been with us not quite two years, he has accomplished more in the line of school spirit, than many in three times as long. One of the most capable editors the Chronicle has ever boasted, Jack has displayed his skill as well on the basketball court and the football gridiron. Having the title of the most stu- dious senior hasn't seemed to bother Jack in the least. He has kept right on plugging, and who knows: he might win the class pin yet. From his Newport accent he is considered straight off Beacon Hill. But, really, Jack has made himself a regular guy among his classmates. Jack is always ready to tell you of his pastimes in the hub of the old society, Newport.

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

Acolyte l2l, Waiter l2l, Choir lil, Honor Roll lil, Annual Staff lil, Chronicle l2l, Intramural Basketball l3l, Baseball ll I, Dramatics ll l, L Club lil. AIan's three years at St. Leo were truly eventful. His friendly smile was a common sight on the every day campus. His droll sayings got many a hearty laugh. A sports enthusiast, he played all sports, was sports editor of our annual, and, in general, might even have figured outa trig problem by football signals. Another of the men about town, Alan is said to have spent his time: one-third in bed, one-third in Dade City, and one-third at H. N. A., cheering up the Blue Birds . On the serious side, Alan's departure will leave many a brok- en heart lH. N. A.l, and his daily presence will be missed here. To him we say: Good luck, and happy hunting at F. S. U. IOSEPH FUERST San Antonio, Florida Honor Roll l l l. Joe is another day hop from San Antonio, and St. Leo's ver- sion of the Thin Man. But this slim figure in no way impedes Joe's slate of activities. Joe finds plenty to do in his spare time. He is a strong addict of the baseball games not only as a spectator, but as a member of San Ann independent organizations. As friendly as they come, .loe is popular among his classmates. Quiet and unassuming in the classroom, yet Joe takes a front seat in studies. No matter what position you assume in later life, Joe, we see a prosperous future there for you! CARL GUDE San Antonio, Florida Honor Court l2l . Carl is a day student who possesses an industrious mind. He does a variety of things well. He has attained excellent marks in his four years here and his nimble mind should carry him a long way in future years. Baseball occupies much of his extra time. ln his tenure at St. Leo, Carl has exhibited a forte in science studies, and it's a mat- ter of time until Carl reaches the pinnacle of success, with that scientific interest of his!
