Uldleness is the enemy of the soul A most remarkable young man, Jack has the fortunate ability to keep you laughing to get his point across, and when you finally concede, to completely reverse his stand and convince you of an entirely new idea. He has numerous friends, among whom we mention John Byrne, Patrick McSweeney, Thomas Burns and Thomas Mc- Manus, Jack is interested in the business world, and intends to become a Certified Public Ac- countant upon graduation from Manhattan Col- lege. Jackis ability to mingle with whomever he pleases, explains the admiration and the affection- ate title given him by his friends, The Politician.

Intellect is stronger than the cannon Four years ago the Typical Incarnation Boyl' trudged up the mountain to gape for the first time at the De La Salle Building. Since that day and year he has accomplished much. A Brothers' boy from way back, he has graduated from ln- carnation and Manhattan Prep and he intends to augment his two diplomas and countless other scholastic honors with a degreee in Mechanical Engineering from Manhattan College. Excelling also in sports, J.T.'s greatest moment was in his junior year when he placed third in the Pen- tathlon. You may find him busy as either the Pool Room Reporterv or as Tough Tony the Hookf' overnight star of the Broadway stage hit, Badge 4401.

By the work one knows the workmarf' Riverdale's gift to the Manhattan sports scene is St. Gabriells Ed Starke.

As the speedy center- fielder on the varsity nine, Elf led the squad in home runs in 1956. Ed, who is seen most often with Tom O'Leary, Bear,' Viera and Ray Par- don, plans to continue his education at Manhattan College where he is certain to meet success in both athletic and scholastic endeavors. fflfffcffiltw ef..2mMf ROBERT JAMES STOSSER Cross Country 1,2g Public Speaking 1,2g Honor Society II: 43 Yearbook Booster Club 1,2,4g St. La Salle Auxiliary Booster Club 1,23 Dramatics lg Glee Club 1. Charity shall cover cz multitude of sins A clever wit and a fine sense of humor have made Boots one of the best liked students in Manhattan. He has always been a partaker of everything, from the most active sports to the more sedate luxuries of life. We will never forget his witty commentaries concerning certain English lessons. He favors sports and the latest musical fad, Rock 'n Roll. Nevertheless, he has a violent dislike of a certain singer with sideburns. Bob, who intends to enter the Arts School at Manhat- tan, will either turn to teaching or to journalism. Talented in the literary field, he is sure to become a great success in whatever field he enters.

No time like the present A feather in the cap of Sacred Heart Grammar School was won when Bill, an alumnus, took the four year scholarship in his first year at the Prep. The best way to break up a monotonous school day, he discovered, was to make the short trip to the parking lot. The image of Bill and his favorite good luck charm, Frank Softie', Roche, will never fade in the memories of the members of that group. Willie had an opportunity to display the line physique he built up by lifting weights when he was a life-guard during the Summer. ln Sep- tember, he will enter Manhattan's Engineering School.
