l Glee Club 4 JOSE DOM INGUEZ 0106, Oh, J'ZlI'6'v, Jose, affectionately called joe by his classmates at Oratory, is noted for his friendly manner, and agreeable personality. His ready smile and his favorite saying, Oh sure! , make him a welcome com- panion, His gentlemanly conduct under all circumstances has won him great praise. joe came to Oratory in the fall of 1952, from his native city of Cali, in Columbia, and even in so short a time has become one of the boys. jose's singing voice is something special. His renditions of such favorite Spanish songs as Granada, Rancho Grande, and Sombra Verde, are a treat to his admirers. Our Glee Club accepted jose with open arms. As yet, joe's college selection is not certain-but we k-now that his fine personality, his attention to studies, and good will, cannot help but be rewarded with success. Good luck-jose!

Football 1, 2 Baseball 1, 2 HOWARD DEVANEY Doc What time .il it? In the fall of 1949 there was the usual enrollment of students in the Freshman class, Doc Devaney was one. Howie began his high school education here and has succeeded in becoming one of the best liked fellows around the school during the past four years, Doc has a great liking for sociology and English and always makes interesting observations during class discussions. Although Does time is taken up with different chores, he has found time to participate in various outside activities. In Freshman and Sophomore years he made a great tackle, and a power-packed pitcher. He took a more than active interest in the debating society and proved to be rather neutral when the debate waxed warm. In his last two years, Howie has spent most of his free time in a part-time job in the Post Office of his home town, Glen Ridge. He has learned the different techniques required in the job of mail inspector. As for the future, Dos'l isn't too sure which college he will attend. We know that he will be successful in wlhatever field he attempts. Howie Devaney, will always be one of Oratory's loyal and true sons, well liked and remembered. Y l,'-p Debating Society 1 2

DWYER John R. My opinion if . . . After spending a year and a half in Europe, John came to Oratory in the latter part of 1948, in the eighth grade, lHe immediately proved himself to be a good student by winning the award for being the bCSt math student in the grammar school, at his graduation in 1949. john never lost his love for books and in his junior year won the Fathers' Club award as -the best all-around student, in the High School. But studies only occupied a relatively small part of john's spare time, as his impressive record of extra-curricula activities shows. He be- came an active member of the Debating Society and in his Junior and Senior years, frequently appeared on Television as a representative of Oratory School, and always proved to be a credit to Oratory and himself. John was also an active member of tihe yearbook and newspaper and as a senior tackled the unheard of job of being editor of both. This yearbook bears testimony to his success. In the fall of his junior year, john also found time to help out his classmates on the football team and acted as their manager, helping john Bolton care for the equip- ment. Of all his records, John's most praiseworthy is his unbroken record of daily attendance at Mass over the past live years while at Oratory. As for his future plans, john has chosen the most noble career of all. john will enter the Passionist Semenary at Dunkirk, N, Y. in September, to study in preparation for a life dedicated to the salvation of souls. May His blessings be always with john, one of Oratory's most beloved sons.
