f. V. Barketball 3, 4 Track 3, 4 ARTHUR J. PETERS Artie Winn, college P Artie came to us in September of 1951, at the beginning of our junior year. Since his arrival, he has endeared himself to his class- mates by his ready wit and agreeable personality. There was never an argument in which Artie did not have the last word. He was best known for these retorts, and continually had his classmates in an uproar. From a more serious point of view, however, Artie is one of the fine students of the class and excels in mathematics and French. As for sports, Artie was a mainstay of the J. V, basketball team and a steady track performer. Arties's plans for the future are uncertain, but he has narrowed it down to either the field of engineering or a naval career. However, it is not uncertain, that whatever the chooses, he will be a credit to his parents, his school, and his country. ,A ,. , -,,,L

'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 ,
