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.

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.

VVILLIAM LEON MARTIN, JR. 12821 New Haven Avenue Fort Wayne, Indiana Stl. Andrewls Parish Pep may be found in cereal boxes, Pep may be found at basketball games, and Pep may be found at the last desk in the study hall. This latter Pep is our own William Martin, the boy with the magnetic smile. Exuberant spirits, an apparently unlimited supply of en- ergy, and a very likable personality aid Pep in the numerous activities in which he engages. Although he is no dramatical hit, he makes an excellent master of ceremonies, and par- ticipates in many skits. When Pep is around, there is never a dull moment because of his witty humor and unlimited supply of jokes. Pep is an athlete in the real sense of the word. He played on the basketball varsity for four years, was middle weight boxing champ for two years, broad jump skating champ for two years, and played on the soccer varsity. All this was done when he was not engaged in his favorite hobby, which is sleeping. His extra-curricular interests include, Sodality Counsellor, Kamera Klub treasurer, libra- rian, promoter of the Apostleship of Prayer, and editor of the MARINEWS. This year he is photography editor of the SPIRE. And to topit all off, Pep is an excellent student. Page l T
