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 .

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.

The best way to gain a friend is to be one Bernie, a Sacred Heart alumnus, entered the Prep with the rest of us in 1953. Immediately, he was at home in both athletics as well as scholastic endeavors. His friends include James Wilson, John Nunan and Michael Hyland, as well as many others. Bernie will enter Manhattan College this fall and we are sure that he will become a grand success in the future.

A Yonkers man, Dee got the biggest kick out of the class outing in the second year. Geometry, Latin and Chemistry came easily to Dee but a combination of Math and Science in senior year was a little harder to take. His great talent of drawing was put to good use by the Yearbook Staif. Dee's major diversions are basketball, base- ball, cars and driving. Lunch periods find him at the Parking Lot, usually in the company of Rich McGahan, Jack Nunan and Bernie Dolan. Dee is planning to enter the Air Force, the radar division, to be specific. ' EAW
