JOHN WILLIAM HARRISON 22108 Michigan Avenue La Porte, Indiana St, Peter's Parish Efficient and dependable is the best way to describe Bill. ln all the various activities in which he has participated he has always been a 1ive-wire. Hill is what is commonly called a brain , He has always applied himself whole-Aheartedly to his studies with the result that he is the Valedictorian of his class. He not only excels in scholastic abilities but is also a good athlete. He was a member of the varsity basketball squad for four years and has also taken part in most of the school's other athletic activities. Bill has also found time to be an active member in the majority of the school's extra curri cular organizations. Much credit must be- given to him for his work on the MARINEWS as Editor-in-Chief, just a fancy title for plenty of work which included licking stamps. He was also a member of the Central Committee of the Sodality and sang in the Schola and Glee Club. Even though Bill has been kept busy, he has always willingly helped his fellow students in every wayg it is this quality of helping others which will make Bill an excellent laborer in Christ's Vineyard.

JOSEPH JOHN CLAUSS 533 East Third Street Mishawaka, Indiana St. Joseph 's Parish Joe is really not quite as serious as he looks. Deep within him there is true wit which is brought to the surface and exploded at most any time. He seems to have a sixth sense for argumentation and is inclined at times to hold discussions even withvthe Religion Pro- fessor. Maybe because Joe is Mishawaka's gift to the razor blade business is one reason that he is a hard worker with plenty of Usticktuitivenessu. Joe is especially big-hearted in doing things for others and running errands. Throughout the winter months Joe's exercise consists in skating and taking walks about the campus. When volley-ball season arrives he is a familiar face among the players: he also likes tennis, boating and marbles. Photography and model railroading hold his interest, by way ot' hobbies. If there is any singing among the students Joe is surely to be in the crowd of merry- makers. He is a member of the .Schola Cantorum, Glee Club, the Harmonizers, besides be- longing to the Kamera Klub. He showed his dramatic talents in One Nite in McSmerke's 'Tav- ern , which was presented on St. Patrick's .Day of '49. If all his talents avail him, Joe will be a great success in the years ahead.

JAMES NORBERT HOWE 860 Maple Street Napoleon, Ohio St. Augustine 's Parish Norb, as James Norbert is more commonly-called, served two years in Uncle Sam's Navy before entering the Seminary at Sacred Heart back in '47, Although Seminary life is much different from life in the Navy, Norb readily adapted himself and it was not long before he was showing his true worth, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Last year he was elected Prefect of the Sodality of the Blessed Mother, a proof of the high estimation which his fellow students have of him. In this capacity he has served the student body well. The experience he gained in the service, he has put to good use as the Mate of the Seminary's Sea Scout Ship-trying to impart to us landlubbers a little- worth- while nautical knowledge. He is also one of the directors of the Mission Society and a mem- ber of most of the other school organizations. Norb is a good athlete and takes part in all athletic activities. He was one of the promoters of the first outside Christmas crib which proved to be an inspiration to the many who visited the Seminary during the Christmas season. It goes without saying that those whom Norb leaves behind here at the Seminary wish him the same measure of success in the future as he has met with here at school. Page 16 L, -i,...4,Y was .Ek 4.
