S ollen as lhe slrains ol lhe lamiliar song, Asleep in lhe Deep, reach our ears, we will be reminded ol lhe deep voice and smiling lace ol Frank De Luca. Possessed wilh a bass voice ol lhe linesl gualily, Frank was lor lour years a mainslay ol lhe Glee Club, and when chosen Presidenl ol lhal organizalion in his Senior year, his inilialive placed il among lhe leading college clubs. Noled lor his ready wil, his hearly supporl ol all lhings lvlanhallan, and his nonchalanl and debonair allilude, he has won a place in lhe hearls ol his classmales lhal is rivaled by lew. Wilh lhese gualilies he has made his years al lvlanhallan a period ol joy lo himsell and lo his lriends. Al any lime his hearly laugh may be lraced lo lhe Drugslore, where in lhe company ol Dan Kelleher, he holds sway over all. ln addilion, however, lo being lhe lorlunale possessor ol such a personalily, he has demonslraled his abilily lo complele a college career.

We are sure lhal il will prove lo be as much lhe pleasanl reminder, lhe loken ol success, as in lhe lile ol him lo whom lhis boolc is dedicaled. 77
