Football 4 JOSEPH ZINKE Zeke 'fob yeah' On a balmy September morning of 1952 Zeke just appeared on the Oratory scene. Since then, Joe has daily made the route from his beloved Scotch Plains in his faithful 1940 Plymouth. His pleasant per- sonality and gentlemanly qualities made him one of the boys immed- iately. They tell us he acquired the name Zeke on one of his frequent N. Y. trips with the boys. His weakness seems to be coffee, but the shows no weakness on the gridiron.. He had the honor to be picked on the All-County football team in his first year at Oratory. joe is a really good student, with Solid Geometry his favorite subject, It will be on to college for joe and his many sterling qualities, displayed here, give promise of success. The best of everything, joeg we are confident you will reflect credit on Oratory.

STEVENS Horne' No kidding! Did he really? Dick arrived at Oratory as a freshman boarder, in September of 1949. Dick boarded at Oratory for his first three years, then came his seventeenth birthday and a neat looking 1947 Chevy convertible. Dick became a Day Hop and made the trip from his home town of Cranford in all kinds of weather, usually with the top down, Dick has been active in the extra-curricula activities at Oratory but hasn't neglected his studies. In the field of sports, he excelled in Basket- ball and was co-captain of the team for the '53 season. Dick also man- aged the Football teams of '50 and '51, as well as the Baseball team of '51, In his junior and Senior years, Dick has been an important Cog in the Varsity Baseball Team. Wihen it comes to dancing, Dick hasn't been a slow boat. For this reason, he was chosen Chairman of the most successful dance com- mittee Oratory has ever seen. His love for sport enabled him to tackle the job of sports editor of the Yearbook. We all know that Dick is fond of his Chevy , and we are under the impression that he is partial to a nice looking Miss from Union. Dick's future plans include Holy Cross College to prepare for the noble profession of Law. We know we will be proud of Dick, as lhe walks in his father's footsteps.
