Always with an unending and cheerful smile, Pete has accumulated a large number of friends. Among these are Tom O'Brien, Arthur Martin, Joe Sam- buco, John Ryan, James Heelan and Bob Janson. We have the extreme honor of reporting that Pete will have the distinction of attending the United States Military Academy at West Point this fall. We wish him every bit of luck in his future occupation.

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.

WILLIAM JOSEPH WEAVER Basketball 1,2g Intramurals l,2,3g Officer A.D.C. 4. Patience, and shuyfle the cards Bill, a graduate of St. John's Grammar School, entered Manhattan Prep in the fall of 1953. Since the very first day, Bill has enjoyed a line reputa- tion as one of the Prep's friendliest students. All those who know him, respect him both as a student and an athlete, for he has played Freshman and Varsity basketball and showed marvelous skill on the various intramural teams. A further proof of his popularity is shown in the fact that his senior class elected him vice-president of the A.D.C. His congenial attitude is sure to be of great value to him in the coming years. wwf, mam lfowh- JAMES JOSEPH WILSON Honor Society II: lg Prom Committee 3,4g Intra- murals 1,2,3g Chess Club 1. Men of few words are the best men Jum, as his classmates have nicknamed him, is one of the quiet fellows behind the scenes until he has something vitally important to say. He is a student of few words, but those few are aptly chosen and spoken in such a manner that it would be worthwhile to heed them. Jim is another one of those privileged students of the Prep who serve in the New York National Guard. An outdoor man, Jim is an expert fisherman. We are certain that Jim will progress determinedly after gradua- tion because of his keen ability to understand a situation immediately and to prepare his views on the topic in as few words as possible. t its I tg
