Lan Qfidelianj REGIS WALTER BRADDOCK, PA. Cheeze and Crackers , and here we have Regis Walter, who hails from Braddock, the famous garden spot of the world. His ever- present smile and zest for originality have won for him a high place among us. Though not a. charter member of the original class of '42, Rege has shown his mettle and the calibre of his make-up to be so satisfactory that his late joining has faded into the dim past. As assistant mailman and librarian Walt spent a large portion of his free time helping in the general run of things. As a real music lover, Rege displays striking dexterity on the violin He is also the leader of the first bass depart- ment in our seminary choir. A stolid admirer of Monsignor Sheen, he helps form the inner- circle of radio siegers. Better than mediocre in his studies, Rege also swings a mean bat on the ball field, and pushes an unerring stick on the billiard table. We feel that with many a double billiard to his score at Saint Fidelis, Rege will keep up the good work. He intends to volunteer at the Poverellos' home-base in Cumberland on the advent of july. FRANCIS GINOCCHI NEW CASTLE, PA. In the classroom, Tiger is one of our best scholars in Greek and Latin. He is a serious young man whose energetic capability is equal to the numerous important positions he fills. As business manager of both the Echo and THE FIDELIAN, Tiger has personal charge of finances. He has proved his ability as a business man by the 'way in which he has handled this position. His election as monitor of the St. John Berchman's Society is the cul- mination of an active spiritual life. This at- mosphere of piety permeates his poetry, a field in which he has had marked success. When not engaged in other work, Tiger helps Father Benno about the observatory, and on some free evenings, he helps Father Maynard in the movie projection booth. Although Tiger is not a man of many sports, he enjoys a good game of handball or mushball. He is the butt of many a student's prank, but, more often than not he has turned the joke on the joker. For a quiet evening, Tiger enjoys his favorite briar, a good book or magazine, and a bit of music. His priestly endeavor lies in the secular field. With our best wishes and God's blessing, may he succeed at Saint Vincent's.

Joe likes Indians, but happily he has none of their scalping instincts when he snips and clips around your ears. His principal hobby outside the classroom has been studying the traits and customs of the American Indian.

Beinor is a man of many mental as well as physical capabilities. He is a lover of sports, and displays a mighty arm when he swings the ashen club in ye old ball game. For six years, he has been recognized as a star player among the basketeers. His en- thusiasm for sports is particularly noticed in his well-written pages of the Echo. All of his vigor, however, is not expended in sports. He has proved himself a competent student also. When academic diiiiculties arise, he obliterates them with his glowing smile of Erin and scholarly perseverance. Generally, Ed is a. man who is seen but not heard, but when he is heard, it is in the right place. The audi- torium has resounded with many of his oratorical deliverances. In his spare moments, he finds a secluded corner to enjoy the works of his favorite authors. His sunny disposition which has won him much popularity at Saint Fidelis, will surely gain him much success at Saint Vincent s God speed you, Ed towards your goal!

Lghe Qiiclelianj DONALD GRAY NEW KENSINGTON, PA. Fuzzy is a New Kensington lad who has won for himself a galaxy of friends here at St. Fidelis because of his pleasing personality. He is usually quiet, undemonstrative and re- served, greeting everyone with a friendly smile. He is not easily discouraged, for he possesses a never say die spirit. Putting his study hours to their best use, he is usually ahead of the rest of us in a surveying problem and in his Homer translation. Through dili- gence he has become the mathematical quiz kid of the class. Fuzzy plays the year round in sports. Baseball and softball also receive a share of his free time. Best of all, Fuzzy enjoys a long hike in the country on a free afternoon. Comes winter, Fuzzy shines on the basketball floor, or sends the pins flying on the new bowling alleys. When the Echo goes to press, Fuzzy IS the trusty print- ing and trouble shooter on the multigraph machine. In the capacity of monitor of St. John Berchman's Society he not only sees to it that the minims learn their Mass prayers, but also sees to it that we veteran knights of the altar do not grow lax. The Capuchin Order is Fuzzy's goal. May God bless his priestly endeavors. of the gentle, friendly type. He greets WILLIAM YOUNG CUMBERLAND, MD. An exciting game! A good shot! A iiashing Zephyr grabs the pass and sails the ball through the hoop. Yes, that's Bill Young, captain of the Zephyrs. Bill is a particularly excellent basketeer, but he has also shown great skill in practically every sport since he first came among us from the hills of Cumber- land. In tennis, mushball and bowling he is tops. During his years here Bill has shown great enthusiasm for typing, and he has done a large share of the stencil work for the Echo. In our recent Passion Play Bill proved his ability as an actor in the important part of Gideon, a villainous member of the Sanhedrin. Besides his dramatic powers Bill also sounds his A with great sweetness as a member of the choir and chanters. Bill's disposition is everyone with a kindly smile. We know that with his charming personality and winsome ways he will be a success when he enters the Capuchin Novitiate in his home town of Cumberland. Here's luck, Bill!
