THOMAS PATRICK O'LEARY Baseball 2,3,4g Varsity Letter Club 3,4g St. La Salle Auxiliary Booster Club 1, Student Council 4g Intramurals 1,2,3,4. Erin go bragh Tom, a Visitation alumnus, is best known as the hard-hitting backstop and captain of the Prep Baseball team. He has gained valuable experience by playing on the Father Duffy Squires with Roger Lesser. He not only excels on the baseball diamond but in the classroom also where English and History are his favorites. Among the Slug- ger's wide group of friends are included Elf Starke, Roger Lesser, Beary Viera, Ray Pardon and Frank Xavier. Tom plans to study Labor Management at Manhattan College this fall and with the virtues of persistence and patience which have made him outstanding, we are sure he will forge onward to the ultimate goal of success.

Truth hath a quiet breast Perhaps a warm smile would be the expression most characteristic of Ray. He has the amiable qualities of the diplomat with the stirring ideas of a non-conformist. From St. Gabriells, Farouk is an entertaining conversationalist on topics rang- ing from Sugar Ray to Thomas Painei' and possesses qualities of disarming frankness tinged with his own brand of tasteful humor. Ray is an excellent student in the true sense, for he in- vestigates, absorbs, and applies knowledge, the aim of education. He lists E. Starke and R. Viera as his Prep friends and has more in his home parish. Ray prefers baseball, sports of all kinds, writing and finds Physics periods amusing. He is heading for Alfred University next year and his loss will surely be felt.

JOSEPH FRANCIS O'LEARY Cross Counrty lg Indoor Track 1,2g Outdoor Track l,2. 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

To all swift things, by swiftness did I sue Gene hails from St. Helena's in the partially explored regions of New York, known as Park- chester. Gene possesses the unique characteristic of being the only trackman at the Prep who wears Mount St. Michael sweats to all the meets. His greatest moment, undoubtedly, was when the GREEN FLASH, who incidently lifts barbells in his sleep, became a member of the varsity track squad. Scholastically, Gene has proven him- self a hard worker and is sure to be successful in his Civil Engineering course at Manhattan College. Gif-any 6, .

True it is that we have seen better days From St. John's comes Bob the Brucei' Patt- well. Girls, dancing and parties are his favorite pastimes. No wonder that his biggest moment at the Prep was winning a Lindy contest. His schol- astic life has not suffered from this merry-making and Bob has been a member of the Honor Society since he came to the Prep. Language, History and English were his favorites during the past four years. At National Guard drills, Bob can be found with Mike Flannery and Joe Kennedy and at par- ties with Terry Cooney and James Malloy. With a B.A. from Manhattan College, Bob plans to dive into the rapidly expanding field of Labor Man- agement.
