John Pedro Griffiths entered St Andrew ' s in July of 1944. He knew very little English as he had lived in Cuba until this time. He did know, however, the most important word in our language. This was eat . At this process Pedro was and is unexcelled. Pedro has always been a good student, ranking well up in his class. He played all three sports. By far his best was baseball, in which he received three varsity letters and will undoubtedly receive his fourth this year. He has played and received letters in football and his prospects for recognition in basket- ball this year are very good. He has worked at various jobs in the school and has handled them all successfully. He was on the farm, in the carpenter shop with Mr. Quinn and at the school laundry. He is now with Mr. Heelon as stock clerk. Pedro ' s present plans are to join the U.S. Air Force after graduation.
