YLASSES Class 408 Never has there been such a class of boys. inspired to so many different things. They have shown the true spirit of individualism. and yet all agree on certain things, one of these being their favorite teacher. Mr. Humphreys and his subject. Biology. They have also picked Dailey as the most popular. with Lo Destro and Nesi trying for the honor of being the t'Class Brain . Some have won many medals and awards for past achievements. Not least among these are john Barret. who won eight medals for track, and Gerry Hun- ter, who won four medals for the same. There are also Mike Brennam, recipi- Poyyer Photo W 1th exams coming up G Hunter needs a knapsack to tote home all hls books P Hannon and A Hofknecht help him stoke up ent of an award for baseball. and Bob O'Neill. whose prowess in tap-dancing has gotten him seven of these golden insignice of merit. However all their time is not spent in winning medals. Nick Lacalomita rep- resents the class in debate: Ken Brown. Neil OiShea. and Tad Dejewski spend most of their time on the press club. There are many different types of hobbies represented in this class. among them stamp collecting. which is the most popular. and model plane building. the next in line. One of these that we should delve further. is the basket-weaving of Bob Melchione. He has done this for some time, and has become quite a pro- fessional at it. Another hobby that I think should also be mentioned, is the gun and old sword collecting of jim Fal- lon. He has relics of both the Civil and Second World War. besides relics from many others Among the many future doctors in thls class jim Fallon Gerry Hunter and jim Fayaloro But a few in this sophomore will handle vour law cases for you These prospective barris ters include John Barrett and Hannon It 1S J Isellvs aspiration to become a member of New Xorks finest, thus adding to 408 s legal beagles Potentially Engineers are prominent in this class among which is a chemi cal engineer in the form of Hike Bren nan and some electrical engineers inthe personages of john NIcGlo1n and John 'XIcNulty They also possess a photo engrayer, Power Photo P.
