Diligence is the mother of good fortune Mike brought his baseball talents from Sacred Heart to the Prep to our advantage. During his four years here he has proved an invaluable asset to the team. While participating in sports, Mike never let the scholastic end of his secondary edu- cation go beggingg his constant membership on the Honor Society demonstrates that. He counted Chemistry, History and Geometry as his favorite subjects. Physics and Trig. are his least appreci- ated. Mike can usually be found at the Parking Lot around noon looking on at the proceedings with interest. Mike Hyland, Dave Barch, Tom Sandleitner and Mike Sancho were members of the circle of Mike's friends. Engineering degree after a stay at Manhattan College is awaiting him in the future.

War is the science of destruction Don is another one of the assets donated to the Prep by Good Shepherd. His combustible humor, which would erupt at the drop of a hat, has made him one of the most well-known stu- dents in a variety of circles. His supreme moment in High School was winning a medal in one of the important Track Meets of his Sophomore year. Don's favorite subjects are History and Mathe- matics. He dislikes vehemently rising on Monday mornings for school and climbing those insur- mountable stairs each day. Aside from school activities, Don enjoys attending parties, playing football and hopping down to Rockaway. Among his friends we can mention Chris Keane, Bob Gorman, Terry Cooney and Jim Heelan. He is interested in attending the Merchant Marine Academy and majoring in Marine Engineering.

Do your duty, and leave the rest to heaven Dave moved to Westchester during his years here and was forced to join the ranks of the commuters in order to continue at the Prep. Some of his car trips to school-and certainly the trip to Retreat-have become legendary. Dave will always be remembered for his quick wit and impromptu remarks which lightened many a dull period, though it brought him membership to the club reserved for those five or six. After school he has been employed as a delivery boy, A 8z P Hoorman and drug store clerk. Graduation was the long awaited moment in Dave's stay at the Prep. His love of Math with serve him well in September, when he enters Manhattan's Engineer- ing School. fi UMALZ7' Bmw! BMJ RICHARD PATRICK BARRETT Cross Country lg Intramurals 1,2g Debating lg Public Speaking 1. 1'll fight till from my bones my flesh be hacked Richard is a part of the tradition of men who have made Manhattan Prep the Scholastic institu- tion that it is today. As a representative of the C.Y.O. in the sport of Boxing, Punch, as he is called by his fellow students, has taken home the spoils many a night. Among his favorite subjects are included History and Business Law. This fall, he will enter Syracuse University to begin studies in mineralogy. We are assured that Richard will become one of the best mineralogists in the coun- try. He is often seen in the company of Timothy Cronin and John Hauprich.

Time is generally the best doctor Birdie is one of the most eifervescent mem- bers of the senior class. He is capable of intelli- gent conversations and most interesting observa- tions. He has often been accused of being a do- it-yourselfv doctor, but actually, Jim is quite seri- ous about this noble ambition. We are happy to say that he is entering Pre-Med school at Man- hattan in the fall. Variation is the keynote when speaking about Bird, for his interests range from translations of Hitler's masterpieces to the most complex subjects in medical surgery. In ever class, Bird seems to make strong friend- ships, among whom are included James McEntee, Frank Segers and Eugene Nolan. He loves Ger- man beer, likes reading and swimming and has quite a collection of tropical fish. Jim, certainly, will reach success in his intended field.

To live it is necessary to live slowly Fred, one of our more persistent seniors, has proven himself to be one of the most l1vely'as well. As a member of the track team, Fred's 1n- defatigable personality and stamina are his great- est assets. Mousie always kicks up quite a cloud when the starting gun goes oii. A steady supporter of all Manhattan social activities, Fred rarely stops to rest, but continues to prove that size is no impediment to successs. When Cross Country Track rolls around again, Fred will be found at- tending Pre-Law School at Manhattan. meegwefziii'
