Debating Society 4 Glee Club Track 4 JOHN F. MOORE Mr. MfuCh Gaz 41 light? john Moore came to Oratory from Cardinal Farley Military Acad- emy in November of 1952. jack, as he is better known, comes from jersey City, N. J., and therefore is a boarder. When things get a bit dull on second corridor jack tries to make them more interesting by his im- personations, He also tells jokes. Some of them are old, some new, and others . . . Despite the fact that jack was a new-comer, at Oratory, he went out for both the Debating Society and the Glee Club. He appeared on the television panel of Junior Town Meeting with the Oratory debaters and acted as alternate in one of these. His initiative and desire to enter the activities of Oratory were most praiseworthy. Even if jack's stay at Oratory has been short it has been pleasant for us. His pleasing personality and good fellowship have made him an Oratory man in a short space of time. jack hopes to complete his course at good old St. Peter's in jersey City. The career of law beckons him and we wish him luck and all success.

'Gary Neverick, or Owl as he is called when wearing his horn- rimmed glasses, came to Oratory in September of 1948. Coming from Woodside, Long Island he has been a boarder through his live years, and has been one of the boys who made boarding life so enjoyable. Owl was very active in varsity sports, playing football, basket- ball and baseball, He has done a fine job in all three. He claims that football is his favorite,but who of us can forget his Ihomers with the bases loaded. Gary's favorite subjects have been biology, general science, and English literature. He reads famous literature during his spare hours. Fishing, reading, and playing pool are a few of his pastimes. At night, on the second floor in Faber Hall, Owl's voice can be heard echoing through -the hallway. He croons the popular tunes while the rest of the boys gather around to listen. Owl is very well liked. His pleasing personality is the reason for his popularity. He has quite an audience while telling of his experiences from Wild Life or Field and Stream , Owlls future plans are a bit uncertain. We are certain of one thingg wherever he goes or whatever he does, Gary will always have a 'host of friends around him. Good luck to you, Owl ,
