JIM GEARY is a forward-looking young political sci- ence major from Lowell, Massachusetts. Last summer, I im was one of a select group of Bay State residents to participate in the Student Intern Program, learning the practical work of state government. He has long been interested in class aifairs and is to be remembered for his election debate with Tom O,Herron. A Navy vet- eran, J im wishes to attend law school but, until then, he must submit his weeekly reports in the Honors Colo- quium. BOB GRATHWOL is another serious student who has made a career of good scholastic work and extra-curricular activities. The historical half of the Big Duo, the Grath is also something of a crusader against the inequalities of campus and civilization. Bob showed his best at the Honor Colloquium and in his other honor classes and reading courses. The history major from Minneapolis, Minnesota, spent last summer at Laval University in Canada, studying French literature. He was also an outstanding R.O.T.C. cadet in his freshman and sophomore years and has worked with roommate Charlie Goetz on the COWL. Bob has appeared in a number of Pyramid Players productions and is currently serving as president of that distin- guished group. He would like to study in Europe and then teach in college. . - - '

Q- ' M55 an PIERRE WALLACH is a pipe-smoking history major from Woodside, New Jer- sey. Pete had an interlude in the U.S. Army before returning to the campus in his junior year. He made good use of his service time because he went to the Army Language School at Monterey and later taught Chinese to other servicemen in Washington, D.C. It was a change to return to the other side of the lecturn but Pete made the switch easily. Pete occasionally tells some hair-raising tales of life in old Aquinas Ceight to a room, Pete'?J and now he finds himself as prefect in St. Joseph's. He is well known for his track abilities but he couples that interest with the fine arts and modern European history. He pounds out Mr. Mullen's papers and his essays for Dr. Thomson on an ancient Royal and Pete wishes to return to the teaching role after graduate school for history. The knowledgable senior should use his past experience to best advantage. CARI. MCCARDEN-it was uCommander', at the Pershing Rifles drills and inspections. It was Colonel,' at the Tuesday afternoon R.O.T.C. drills. It was Best Cadet to his proud confreres at Summer Camp. It was 'tSocial Chairman to the dreamy-eyed freshman who attended the many mixers arranged by Carl. It was Congressman each Wednesday night when the Student Congress met for, one of its hectic legislative sessions. It was Pal', to the kids that he counselled at play- grounds and social institutions. His titles seem to tell the story of Carl McCarden, one of the most active and popular individuals in the class. Moving from one activ- ity to another, Carl would seem to have little time for scholastic work but as all history majors know, Carl puts in his hours of study. Carl is, of course, interested in social work and was recently Inter-racial Justice Chairman for the N.F.C.C.S. He is contemplating a future in business and hopes to attend law school.

r I i N , . , , an., f - ..a - ..,,....... B ,, GEORGE GUNTHER is a man to see when it comes to making money or running a smooth organization. The president of the Friars Club has done a tremendous job in keeping the service club at its top efhciency and has made that club an even greater boon to the College. The very amicable Friar has a sparkling wit and a friendly manner and he symbolizes that for which the Friars Club stands. George is a veteran of the Korean action and is married and has two children. KEVIN McCARTHY is a dynamic, energetic ulittlei' leader. The man with the ear-to-ear smile has served two terms as our class treasurer and did a fine job in keeping the class solvent and the books balanced. The history major from Garden City, New York also bal- ances such books as his history texts, the SUMMA, and about twenty R.O.T.C. manuals. The young financial wizard holds the cash for several other groups, and has shared an apartment this year with Tom Byrnes and Brian Fitzgerald. TCM BYRNES is the Tyger --one of the class's top scholars and one of the more affable gentlemen on the campus. On Tuesday afternoon however, the fun is over as the cadet colonel dons his Army Greens, empty pistol holder and deep-throated growl. The Cadet Ofli- cers Honor Club and the Ship and Scales Club have the Tyger,' as president and he is also on the Student Con- gress. Tom is planning to attend law school and then serve his time-again in his Army Greens.
