What thin partitions sense from thought divide Another of Good Shepherd's alumni here at the Prep, Bob has become an integral part of senior machinery. His wit and humor have en- livened more than one gloomy day and he will be sorely missed after graduation. On campus, he is always seen in company with James Connors, John Curry and Daniel Sheehan. Always enjoying a good Mathematics and Science course, Bob will enter the Engineering School of Manhattan Col- lege and study Civil Engineering. Assured success is prophesied for Bob, both in college and through the years ahead. filagtgng VWMZKQMMM.

Human improvement is from within outward Bob, a St. John's alumnus, has completed four very successful years at the Prep and will continue his intellectual training at the University of Flori- da. He has an avid interest in Marine Zoology and Marine Botany due, of course, to his many ex- peditions into the Floridian Everglades. The Jun- ior Prom was Bob's most gratifying experience in high school. He is always seen in the company of Albert Derivan, Richard Carella, Patrick Byrne and Herb Sweeny. We are sure that whatever state Bob settles in, he will make a great success.

Let exercise alternate with rest Denny is a Sacred Heart boy. His warm humor and witty remarks have enlightened many a dull and difficult period. Balboa has a great liking for the lunch period, girls and sports. Among his dislikes are Mathematics and coming to school on Mondays. John Flanagan, Bob Eliseo and Bernie Dolan can always be found together con- versing with Dennis. Senior Year was Dennis' biggest thrill at the Prep. Dennis intends to con- tinue his educational career at Manhattan College. Lots of luck, Denny. V W? U TIMOTHY PAUL CRONIN Cross Country lg Indoor Track 23 Student Coun- cil 4. I What a man has, so much is he sure of Tim, another of St. John's alumni, entered the Prep in '53 and immediately was accepted with admiration and respect by his fellow classmates. Heading for a career as a Certified Public Ac- countant, he will enter Manhattan College this fall. He is always seen in the company of John Hauprich and Richard Barrett, among many others. Tim is assured of great success as an accountant because of his perspicacity and intel- ligence. He, in the future, will prove to be one of the Prep's most successful graduates.

Nothing is so dear and precious as time Al, hailing from St. Mary's, has been extremely active in science affairs, as is shown by his win- ning fifth place in the junior science contest which was held throughout the entire state of New York. Al wants to go on to college and become an engineer specializing in the field of electronics. In his spare time he likes to be a ham radio operator as well as attending dances and parties. His best subjects, of course, are Math and Science, while his poorest was history. Al may be found almost anywhere with either Robert Curley or Richard Carella.

Custom is almost a second nature One of St. John's most successful graduates is John Curry, whose appearance at Manhattan in 1953 proved to be the start of the career of one of Manhattan's most beloved students. He is known as one of the friendliest boys in the senior class and has many friends. Among these are included Patrick McSweeny, John J. Sullivan, Thomas Burns, John Byrne, Robert Cummings and many others. In fact there are few who do not enjoy the moments when John is around. After graduating from the Prep, John will remain a Manhattan man and enter the Engineering School of the College. If history is any indication of the future, John will make not only a success- ful engineer, but also a line citizen. DJ .
