Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God John, an alumnus of St. John's, has been throughout his four years at the Prep, a steady working student and an active participant in numerous extra-curricular activities. As a result of 'iis interest in a school newspaper, the Prepster was published under his editorship, for the first time in four years. John was proficient in Latin, Mathematics, English and History, while he shun- ned the Sciences. Even though his high school career has been quite clamorous, nevertheless, John has heard the call to the religious life as his eventual goal. After graduation, John intends to enroll at Epiphany Apostolic College in order to become a Josephite Father. John could be seen fraternizing with Pat McSweeny,' Tom Burns and J. J. Sullivan. All the Jaspers wish John all the luck in the world in his quest for the highest vocation in life.

Common sense is very uncommon Tom has the good fortune of meeting problems and difficulties with admirable sense and good taste. His innate honesty is a factor which has not only ingratiated him with his fellow students, but also with the members of the faculty. Tom is always occupied with worthwhile activities, whether it be assisting at Prep Basketball games or in after-hours employment. A conscientious viewer of the abstract and still the pragmatist, Tom can be counted among those who will enter labor management in the future. His Prep com- panions include Thomas McManus and John J. Sullivan. He prefers track and hockey and also enjoys his nickname Merch, Tom's versatility and friendly companionship will always be wel- come in any circle. d-AAA., '

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'
