When John is around, you would never know it unless you put a set of drums before him. Although here only two years John has become very popular in his role as the Gene Krupa of the dance band. His silent nature is one of the many reasons that he is so popular on the campus, though this is only one of his many good qualities. He was the highlight of our dances, as they were never complete without a drum solo or two from him, and he's one boy that can really make those skins talk. Making a name for himself will only be another engage- ment to him. lf he continues to tackle them with the same good spirit he has shown here, all we can see for his future is more happy days! resident there. ln his own methodical way, Wayne has been a member of the Honor Roll. His study has paid off dividends, as he is among the leaders for Senior Class honors. The class room scholar-like mein of Wayne's has earned him the nickname of Professor Puckett . Wayne is one of the strongest boosters of the L Club, and his class as well. Whenever help was needed he quickly iumped into the thick of things. He avidly extolls the virtues of Lion athletic teams and readi- ly defends them at the slightest provocation. We're looking forward to seeing Wayne's name high up in the field of his choice. l'fRNlfS'I' STORCII San Antonio. Florida L Club ll 15 Football ll 15 Intramural Basketball l21. Ernie's mark upon St. Leo sports will long be felt, for he was one of the outstanding pigskin performers as well as an accom- plished player of basketball. Socially, Ernie was an ideal student, as he attended all extra- curricular functions. On the dance floor Ernie was a natty stepper. He enioys popular music and frequents the Senior Alley lounge to hear the latest renditions. With his inclination towards athletics and his willingness to learn, he should enioy a flourishing athletic career. TWENTY-SEVEN

Although John is one of the quieter members of the class, this has never interfered with his popularity among the students. It is a common belief that John follows the old saying, Speech is silver, silence is golden . Always the ambitious type, he has played all athletics, among them varsity football. Since he has been such an important part of the class for the past five years, it is generally agreed that he and his vivid imagination will surely be missed. We know that whatever John undertakes will carry plenty of determination. Good luck to you, John! We know that you will make the best of every thing. l JOHN ALAN MEDIER Louisville.

Alan, with his unnoticed way of getting things done and al- ways being helpful, will be remembered by everyone as a true friend. His three years here have shown that a person of his na- ture can get along anytime with anyone. Active in athletics, he played on this year's football team as a lineman, and proved a very valuable player. With his Kentucky constitution and his school spirit, he was admired for both sincerity and initiative. And, we'll all remember those tales about his gal, Joan . Alan's ambition is to be head man of some big construction company, and if he continues to show the same zeal that he has at St. Leo, he should someday get there. Good luck, Alan, you can i be sure that you will always be remembered by all of us. IAMES O'NlfAL l Clearwater.

Football, basketball, baseball and track--Jim O'NeaI has entered into all these sports and won accolades galore. In foot- ball, Jas was selected a Little All-stater, in basketball he scored well over lO0 points and has been an outstanding member of the track and baseball teams. Jim was voted the school's outstanding athlete, and rightly so. Jim's been attending St. Leo for five years, during which he's been a student leader of high caliber, holding a monitor's position and an Honor Court membership. Choir and band have occupied much of Jim's time, and he avidly adds his voice to group singing. He plays a sweet trumpet which is only natural, since Jim is gifted with musical rhythm. His musical sense is with him on the dance floor, where he is a nifty f stepper. TWENTY-SIX

The proverb, Actions speak louder than words , seems to perfectly characterize Ken. ln his own quiet mode he has been a leading student, scholastically. Ken spends much of his free time running track, besides par- ticipating in interclass basketball. The social limelight has a strong member in Ken, who enters wholeheartedly into all dance activities. Ken possesses a grand vocabulary, for he is a voracious read- er. This constitutes his principal hobby, although sleeping absorbs i much of his free time. From all who've known you, Ken, we're looking forward to your being at our class reunion! IOIIN LOUIS VISCONTI - Dvla ml.

John decided that he didn't have to leave school in order to put himself in business. During his last year, he was the unexcelled proprietor of Tony's Barber Shop . Under his management the business has grown prosperous. Aside from the fact that his hair- cuts were unequalled on the campus, his sincere trust in people was a big asset in promoting his venture. Nor did he neglect his other duties. On this year's varsity football team, he played guard, and he proved active in class work during the year. Since he is easy to get along with, we expect a lot from him in , the future, meaning that, with his exceptional acumen, he really ought to go places! IOIIN T. VVARE Sl. Peters bury.

Johnny is the type of person that books could be written about. Six years here, a monitor two years, he has led one of the most eventful lives on the campus. His cheerful attitude on life and his optimistic personality makes him excelled by few. Although Johnny is leaving this year, his spirit won't be for- gotten. Admired and respected for his patience and humility, he is considered one of the more distinguished members of the class. This is due also to the active social life which he led here. As a man about town, he was the life of the party, and to him we say, Goodbye , to a swell guy and a real friend. TWENTY-EIGHT
