A few honest men are better than numbers Billy, one of our more popular seniors, has a sense of humor and humility which will assist him considerably throughout college and through- out the rest of his life. Indeed, it has already won him the respect of all those who know him. A natural business man, he will enter Manhattan College in the fall and study to become a Certified Public Accountant, a career in which we are sure he will be a great success. His many friends in- clude John Byrne, John J. Sullivan, Thomas Mc- Manus, Thomas Burns and John Curry. He will long be remembered as one of the greater assets of the class of '57.

From the crown of his head to the soul of his foot, he is all mirth Tom came to us from Good Shepherd and immediately became one of our best students. In senior year, Mac made his bid for fame by assist- ing in the composition of the Christmas play. He also played an important part in the plot of the play. Big Tom often remarked that the best parts of a school day are the Pep Rallies, Assem- blies, Basketball games and Gym periods. The big goal in Tomls life, toward which he is placing all his efforts is his graduation. His many friends include Bob Gorman, John J. Sullivan, Eugene Nolan, Thomas Burns, Richard Pryor and Bill McSweeney. Sbrrsliudfhzs

A finished gentleman from top to toe After speaking to Mad, and seeing him in action, the Hrst conclusion you would draw is his quality of leadership. He just has the innate ability to command attention and respect. John has been one of the great swimmers of the Prep. He dem- onstrated his skill by winning many of the meets, and for this reason, was chosen captain in his fourth year. Mad, enjoys playing the piano, girls and work-when he has finished with it. He detests above all, ice cold water in pools. He may usually be found in the company of Frank Xavier, John McCabe, Dennie McGean and Dan Doran. With such an illustrious background we are positive that John will be an extremely capa- ble doctor after graduating from Holy Cross Pre- Med School.

Purpose is what gives life a meaning Big Jim, an alumnus of Incarnation, is one of the few fellows who can keep you laughing even after you failed the exams. Jim will always remember his election to the Student Council and his graduation as his greatest moments. He enjoys the company of the opposite gender, baseball, books, and money, but abhores time schedules. Jim, usually found in the midst of Jack Mahody, Marty McCormack, Mike Murphy, Herb Sweeny, and Rich Rauch, intends to become a lawyer by attending Manhattan. Jim should not have any trouble with the mobstersg they will be terrified at the sight of his massive stature. 7 W

To whom God wills, there be the victory Tom, the Cat, hailing from Incarnation is a reliable and amicable student, admired by all and ready to defend his views on any topic which one would consider to bring up for discussion. Tom's happiest moment was receiving a recommendation to the Prep. His likes include bow ties, girls, dances and money, but he has an odious resent- ment against eye glasses and Chaucer. The Bishop', will be vividly remembered for assisting in the Christmas show by his masterful perform- ance at the piano. After school, Tom can usually be found fraternizing with his comrades, J. T. Sullivan, Tom Nestor, Herb Sweeny and John Slattery. Tom will enter the Engineering School of Manhattan with the best wishes of the entire senior class.

The smell of pinewood is soothing to the nerves The Boy Oratorl' gained fame as early as his Freshman Year when he became one of the top debaters in the school. In that year, he helped the Manhattan four-man debating team cop hon- ors in the New York University Debating Tour- nament. Mike has since been on a winning Man- hattan team every year in that Debating Tourna- ment. His debating and public speaking ability, together with his sporadic humor and genial per- sonality, will aid him immensely when he enters the field of Political Science. Murph,' can be found on any school morning refreshing in Har- ry's before he makes his final ascent to the Prep. He can usually be found with Jack Mahody, Jim McEntee, Tom Nestor and Marty McCormack or among some of the other intellectual Business- Law men.
