TERRY JAY KURACK JOSEPH GEORGE KRETSCHMAN XYhitey moved into our harrowed hall in 1951 from Christ the King, as another one of those Richmond Beach Boys from out in the hinterlands. joe decided to participate in the important things first, so he began his four year stretch in the Sodality. His debating career lasted throughout his freshman semesters, the same year in which he flipped the old basketball through the twine with the Cub Squad. Other than a fling at track in his second year, joe's main activities have been wrapped up in his spare time hobby, This is none other than collecting unwanted, delapidated vehicles which have been noted for lack of 'supe.' His ambition is to continue his education at Seattle l'. -Q 'CF-'J' DAVID JOSEPH LEIGH He calls himself Clyde and he hails from that school in the toolies, Christ the King. This tall, bespeetaled knave has been a spark in practically every activity in our hallowed halls. A list of them includesg Sodality 1, 2, 3, 43 Yice-Prefect 1, Prefect 2g Debate Club, 1, 23 Class .Xthletie Manager 1, Secretary 33 Feature Editor of Panther 3, 4, Harlequin Club 4, Green Pastures, Copy Editor of Echo 43 Frosh Basketball, B-Squad Football and Basketball 23 and Press Conference Dele- gate 3. Dave isa very intelligent fellow, a constant honor roller, and playwright. His ambition, to join the parachute Corps in French Sudan, is rather dubious for he has seriously set his sights on a spot in the legion of the Black Robes. PHILIP BURKE LEVAN Phil entered Adelphia Hall as a freshman in 1951, a product of St. Catherines Ibur- ing his freshman and sophomore years at Prep, he played Cub basketball, Soph- Frosh baseball, and was a two year mem- ber of the Sodality. This past year, as a senior rooter, he lent his talents to the Pep Club. His present hobbies include blaming Leigh for his lousy Physical lab blunders, mocking jerry Robel, and insist- ing to Mr. Corrigal that there is something wrong with his typewriting. Nice going is Phil's favorite repartee, and his ambition in life is to see Mike Murray buy some notebook paper before they graduate from college. Roosevelt High School held this boy captive for two years before his transfer to Prep in the fall of '53. They must have taught geometry in a wierd style over there, because Terry claims his lifetime ambition is to pass the d--- subject. Seri- ously, his major hobbies include singing, boxing, and wheeling a sleek Ford around the boulevard. As a junior, Terry sang in that terrific quartet that warbled for pep rallies and student riots. 1X promoter of the underground of sly wit in sociology classes, Terry is seriously contemplating college and states his goal to be a Bachelor of .Xrts degree. judging from his potential ability and keen mind, we are confident of his success. hi' f Y ,uf
