The only rose without thorns is friendship O'B,', whom Inwood claims as one of her big boys, is always capable of keeping the fel- lows laughing with his consistent humor. A com- bination of athletic and scholastic attributes assist him as a distinguished class leader. His greatest triumph was playing Varsity Baseball and Basket- ball and entering the senior class. Wherever there is a gathering of avid sports enthusiasts, Joe, together with his buddies T. McManus, T. Wynne, and R. Gorman, is sure to be in the midst of it. Joe has a weakness for laughs, dancing, and sports events, however he dislikes low batting averages, umpires, and especially Rock 'n Roll. O'B, true to the Lord's call, has the intention of becoming a Christian Brother.

Pray you now, forgive and forget Norm, a graduate of Sacred Heart, intends to follow a military career after June as a naval ofiicer. Chemistry was his favorite subject in his high school experiences. Math, however, is to be found at the bottom of the list of subjects. His greatest moment, understandably, was passing second year Spanish. He has served both as deliv- ery boy for a grocer and a soda jerk. Lunch periods and study periods were the highlights of every school day for Norm. He counted Rich McGahan, Bob DiTullio and Frank Roche among his long list of friends. fwfff

A day spent in a round of strenuous idlenessn Tom is an Incarnation man with line clerical and athletic abilities. During his years at the Prep, Tom preferred History to the Sciences. His greatest moment in high school was his promotion into the senior year. When not practicing at some athletic endeavor, Tom can usually be found on the campus with J. T. Sullivan, Michael Murphy and John Mahody. He will be long remembered for his good sportsmanship both on and off the field. He will attend Manhattan College this fall and is sure to become as much of a success there as he was in the Prep. Ti f EUGENE JOSEPH NOLAN Honor Society II: 35 Dance Committee 3. Jokes are the pepper of conversation and the salt of life Gene came to Manhattan from Barrytown at the beginning of his Junior year. He brought with him a great sense of humor which has been en- joyed by all who have known him. Gene hails from the Bronx and crosses the waters of the Harlem River at the top of the morning with a group of his many friends. He intends to continue his studies at Manhattan College and his greatest ambition is to become a millionaire. Gene has a great love for classical music and turns color at the mention of Newton's laws.

Erin go bragh Joe, another of the proud graduates of St. Johnis, entered the Prep along with the other students in 1953, and immediately became known as one of the freshman class' friendliest members. From the beginning, he has enjoyed the respect and admiration of all his many friends. Indeed many is the correct adjective, for he is always seen in company of a large group of seniors among whom we mention Herb Sweeny, Bob Eliseo, James Glackin, Roger Lesser and Thomas Moroney. The future holds great things in store for Joseph and we are sure that he will meet and conquer them by means of his perseverance and intelligence. We wish Joe the best of luck in his chosen career.

Be prepared Tom, noted for his friendliness, persuasiveness, and above all, his calm composure, is a resident of Parkchester. O'Bie, an eagle scout, the high- est position in the B.S.A., and the recipient of many merit badges, is an ardent admirer of Math and Science. His fancies involve cars, girls, and inevitably, the Boy Scouts' motto, Be prepared, which he actively upholds. Tom's great moment of triumph was when he established a new Track record at Fordham. If you were looking for Tom, you would undoubtedly find him in the company of Jack Ryan, Pete Waters, Artie Martin and Joe O'Brien. JM My
