JAMES HEYL St. Bernard Church Mt. Lebanon. Pennsylvania If upon approaching the story-worn front walk, one sees a puff of smoke, a brisk pace, and hears a hearty laugh rising from an interesting conversation, he knows it can be only one man-jim. With his humor and carefree ways, jim's brisk pace well characterizes his precision and ehiciency in his work. An all- around man, Jim managed The Fiflelimz from the business angle. In recreation, every sport finds jim its enthusiast. This healthy combination of studies, sports, and fellowship make jim the jim we always want to know as he continues his work at St. Vincent Seminary. WILLIAM HOMOLAK St. Cecilia Church Glassport, Pennsylvania Bill is the live wire of the graduating class. Witli his delightful sense of humor and his interesting conversation, his companionship is pure bliss after a dreary day of class. He is a whiz at languages, but found no future in scien- tific branches. Active in handball, volleyball, and bowling, he is also organist, choir leader, band member, and a capable actor on the stage, Bill is noted for his clever impersonations of teachers and students, and always has his audience roar- ing with laughter. He will continue his impersonations this summer when he dons the Capuchin habit to imitate the life of St. Francis. ROBERT KARL SS. Peter and Paul Church Endicott, New York If Bob is a sample of what New York produces, Pennsylvanians must fin- ally concede that something good comes from our northern neighbor. Versatile by nature, Bob usually ends up high in his every endeavor. This success stems from his healthy philosophy that honest effort goes a long way. Wliether run- ning the snow plow, presiding over the College Club, playing hockey, studying Newman, or leading calisthentics, Bob gives everything he has. His vigorous spirit contains a sincerity to be treasured. These gems of character composing a fine seminarian will go to SS. Cyril and Methodius Seminary of the Byzantine- Slavonic rite diocese of Pittsburgh. JOSEPH LEITEM St. Peter Church Butler, Pennsylvania Joe will be remembered for his efficiency and ever-willingness to do a favor. His straightforward and genial personality were useful assets in his duties as seminary chauffeur and assistant business manager of THE SKULLCAP. He was also head monitor of the St. john Berchmans Society. joe's classroom ability was well attested to by his position on the honor roll and his regular interest in studies. Basketball and handball are his favorite sports. As for relaxation, Joe likes a short walk and sometimes a friendly argument. He plans to enter St. Con- rad Novitiate as a Capuchin novice this summer.

PAUL DURKIN St. Margaret Church Greentree, Pennsylvania Friendliness seems to be a byword with Paul. His beaming smile and his generous manner make even a stranger feel at ease in his company. With his tenor voice he has been active in the different choir groups. His love for sports has prompted him to join the sports committee. Paul has the task of running the motion-picture projectors for the movies shown in the Dramatic Hall. At any time of the day he is a good fellow in a friendly card game or arguing over the sports page. Paul will continue his studies for the diocesan priesthood at St. Vincent's. CHARLES GASPER St. Mary Church Allison, Pennsylvania Charlie may easily be classified as one of the more talented members of the graduating class. During study periods one could usually find him explaining a difficult chemistry problem or Greek structure to one of his fellow classmates. As photographic editor of both The Fiflelifm and THE SKULLCAP, Charlie spent much of his time in the darkroom. Nevertheless. he was always ready for a quick handball game or simply a quiet recreation period spent smoking and talking in the club room. Charlie will be remembered mainly for his generosity, his pleas- ant smile, and his pleasant personality. Charlie will don the Capuchin habit in july. WILLIAM HARVEY Holy Name Church Ebensburg, Pennsylvania Bill is the youngest graduate this year and perhaps the richest, for a wealth is found in his treasury of smiles. This gay spirit of Bill's spreads a warm glow over his friendship. Gifted with unwavering motives and strong determination, Bill rounds off these qualities with precision. He leaves no field of endeavor un- tried and finds pleasure in all. A hike in the woods, a set of tennis, and an oper- atic aria afford Bill a varied agenda for recreation. When the Capuchin habit clothes him, Bill's enviable simplicity and jovial sincerity will add the polish to a new Franciscan. PAUL GLASS St. Peter Church Brownsville, Pennsylvania The walking encyclopedia of the class is undoubtedly Paul Glass. Paul's wealth of knowledge concerning general topics has won him that title. His subtle humor has found clever but harmless sarcasm for its medium of expression. Paul's greatest extracurricular activity is The Fidelimz. As editor-in-chief of the school paper, it was his responsibility to keep it at a high journalistic level. An examination of any of his editions of The Fidelimz is ample proof that Paul is not one who shirks his duty. Paul also enjoys writing short stories and smoking mellow briars. The Capuchin novitiate will be Paul's next residence.

STEPHEN MALOSKY St. Joseph Church Clairton, Pennsylvania Never too busy to do a favor seems to best sum up Steve's personality traits, and his ability to take a joke is a close runner-up. Yet, Steve is a busy man. As president of the Mission Unit, he has shown a great zeal for the foreign missions. His business-like methods of raising funds for the missions and instilling zeal into the members of the unit are well known. Steve's evenings are usually spent in interesting conversation between puffs of a mellow cigar. St. Vincent's will claim Steve next fall. CLAIR MARONEY St. Mary Church Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania Clair is a man of many interests. Besides his keen ability in the classroom and on the campus, he is intensely interested in current topics and is always ready to debate the latest happenings in national politics or world affairs. Clair is the man to see, too, about the prospects of the St. Louis Cardinals or Notre Dame Irish. Regardless of what he is doing, he is always the center of the crowd. Clair has a hard time suppressing that unruly Irish grin of his, and even the sober black of his cassock at St. Vincent's next fall will not erase that smile. ALEXANDER PLEBAN SS. Cyril and Methodius Church Fairchance, Pennsylvania Due to his wide reading and fine memory, Al is usually able to give the facts in any discussion. No matter if the subject is ancient history or the latest novel or movie, he is equally acquainted with all. His favorite studies, however, are languages. Always ready for athletics, he took part in all sportsg but bowling, basketball, and tennis claimed his highest interest. For relaxation he is satished with a good book, but often he could be found in a card game or just listening to the radio. Al is bound for St. Vincent's and the diocese this fall. ORLANDO POZZUOLI t St. Lawrence Church Hillsville, Pennsylvania If free time were more abundant at St. Fidelis, many more library book cards would bear the name, Orlando Pozzuoli. Reading, to Lundy, is as natural as breathing. But, do not think that all of Lundy's time is spent in an easy chair with a good book in his hand. Baseball and football also claim a share of that precious time, for his educated southpaw seems to know all the tricks of control in pitching and passing. We know that Lundy's magnetic personality and great sense of humor will keep them smiling at St. Vincent's in future years.
