He did not know a word of English when he first arrived, but he soon picked up enough English to make himself understood. Since then he has mastered about every phase of the language. Before no time at all, Guido found himself on an active school program. Guido is an active member of the Science Club, the Camera Club, and The Hill staff. He also played a year of intramural softball in his ,.. .,a,,...u -, freshmen year. In his sophomore, junior and senior years he was a first string member of the Varsity baseball team and he was also an important factor in last year's victorious soccer team. In his junior year, he played Iunior Var- sity basketball and was quite a stand-out. Most of Guido's spare time is taken up by his favorite hobbies of writing letters and attending dances held at The Prep. Guido plans to be an Agronornical Engineer and intends to further his education at the Pennsylvania State College. -.I Paul came to us from Olean, New York, where he had previously attended Olean High School. Paul's first love is football and his hard running ability has merited him high praise in this area. He is sought after by many leading col- leges in the country and is probably the finest offensive and defensive back seen in The Prep's football history. Paul played two years of Var- sity football as fullback and thereby received his Varsity F letter. Paul also played two years of Varsity base- ball, for which he was awarded letters. He has acquired four varsity letters during his two years at The Prep. During his stay at The Prep. Paul proved himself to be one of the finest ath- letes ever to graduate from Saint Francis Prep. Paul also found time to indulge in intramural basketball, in which sport he was noted for his defensive play. It was through his fine playing that Navy won second place in the intramural standings. This summer Paul hopes to attend Georgia University and pursue a career in the field of coaching. We wish you happiness and success in your future years. . .-.....A.h.... Luis, or Torpedo, as he was nicknamed by the Prepsters on account of his dynamic person- ality, hails from that great city of Maracaibo, Venezuela. Luis came northward last Septem- ber to further his education in the American way, it did not take him long to get acquainted. In the field of sports, Luis has excelled as a fine sportsman, chiefly in Varsity soccer and intramural basketball. He played halfback on the soccer team, and he was a great help in the team having a successful season. ln the intra- mural basketball league he was considered one - nl-g-gg' r ' 3Si u I of the best offensive players. He had uncanny ability in setting up plays. Besides being ath- letically inclined, Luis also is a member of The Prep Rifle Club and the Camera Club. Writing letters takes up much of his free time, he also likes to pick up South American base- ball and soccer games by the way of short wave radio. There is nothing Luis liked better than a slow-moving Rhumba or a swift Samba. After graduating this year Luis intends to continue his studies at St. Francis College in Loretto next fall.

Tom was a welcome addition to the senior class last year. Tom came to us from Barrington, New Iersey. Immediately upon his arrival at The Prep, Tom began to win friends with his won- derful personality and bright smile. At Camden Catholic, Tom was a bright light on both the football and basketball teams. Tex, as he is sometimes called, carried his fight and experience to our own campus and proved him- self to be a most noteworthy player. In football he held down the starting roll as end, and many yards were ours because of entangling his arms on the whirling pigskin. Basketball soon came, and found Tom a very fine center on The Prep quintet. He showed fine ability at this position. Besides his favorite activity of sports, Tom has been often found listening to the best of tunes over the nearest radio set. Never one for taking it easy, Tom is also secretary of the Varsity F Club. In this organization he has performed his duties in a very fine manner. Upon graduation Tex plans to attend the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, with a business course in mind. Ioe, one of our many friends from Baltimore, passed for the first time beneath the portals of The Prep in his sophomore year, after spending one year at Loyola High School in Baltimore, Maryland. No sooner was he unpacked, when he fell into the many activities at The Prep. His first conquest was that of joining the Rifle Club. The Hill staff found that they had acquired a talented new member also. Dance committees beckoned his way, and he was found among those responsible for the many well planned socials. He became interested in wrestling and was soon engrossed in the pretzel bend- ing game. Ioe is primarily an outdoorsman and is inter- ested in the lore of hunting and fishing. Spend- ing his summers on the Chesapeake Bay has been responsible for his fondness of swimming and boats. Ioe built several boats while here on the campus. His particular like in music seems to tend toward the classical. The college of Mount St. Mary's can expect him on the campus next September. . .,-4 ..-.

Be- fore his entrance here at The Prep he had at- tended Lewistown High for three years. Upon his arrival he made friends by his bright smile. When Ioe arrived here for football training prior to the season he was able to gain a start- ing position as a guard by his hard work. For his fine play during the season he was awarded a varsity letter. Ioe participated in the activi- ties of the school paper, the Camera Club and the yearbook. In the intramural basketball league he was a high scorer tor his team and one of the high scorers in the league. Ioe, who likes to play tennis, hopes to make good use of his racquet for the honor and glory of the tennis team. As his favorite pastime Ioe finds great plea- sure in listening to music. Painting and writing letters to his admirers also take up much of his time. After graduation Ioe plans to enter Penn- sylvania State College and take up courses in Civil Engineering. We earnestly hope that you will have a very bright future. Stukes is from the capitol city of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. After spending his freshmen year at Carson Long Institute, Stukes enrolled at St. Francis to become a member of the class of 1951. Stukes is one of the most popular boys in the class and seems to be everywhere at once. Because of his invaluable services to the soc- cer squad, as a goal keeper, Stukes became a member of the Varsity F Club. His athletic participation included intramural basketball, softball, track and swimming. We have enjoyed many fine socials in the past few years and Stukes has been on the committees for a num- ber of them. Our Iunior Prom and Senior Ball were given a helping hand by the fine work done by Stukes. He was also found in the sports department of this year's Boxwood. Music rates high with Stukes and flying holds a high place also, he is now working for a pri- vate license. Upon graduation in Iune he would like to begin his training in the Air Force. We wish him success in his new venture into the United States Air Cadet School and may your future years be filled with happiness. ,,,,.,., 34, , -.. .....n. -alt:-r1-7 ,- 7 ......-. V- ,nf--,Ji W -.-.N-HIEH Bob, more iamiliarly known as Spike by his classmates, comes from Hanover, Pennsylvania, where he had previously attended Hanover Iunior High. He was one of the best athletes at the Iunior High. When Bob entered St. Francis Prep in his sophomore year, he immediately showed his athletic ability, and he became a first-string player in football, basketball and baseball. In his senior year at the peak of his Prep school football career, when his pass receiving record was at its best, he broke his shoulder in the La Salle game. This injury prevented Bob from playing in the few remaining games. When basketball season came, he was considered one of the best defensive players and a great floor man. Baseball is Spike's favorite game and he is the longest ball hitter that the team has. His apt ability to scoop up hot grounders is very praiseworthy. Bob was treasurer of the junior class and Varsity F president this year. Bob's future ambition is to become a big league ball player. Next fall Bob hopes to con- tinue his education at Maryland University. Alex arrived at St. Francis in his senior year from Sucre High School in Cumana. Alex lives in Cumana, Venezuela. When Alex arrived this year, he knew very little English, but now he can speak English fluently. Alex was a very popular and active student. His primary goal, while he was in school, was to better himself in scholastic ability, and he showed himself capable of achieving this. Alex especially liked physics, which he considered his best subject. His number one sport was soc- cer, but he arrived late at school and therefore he didn't play on the team. Alex played intra- mural football which he enjoyed very much and he helped the team a great deal in taking third place. He also was a stand-out in the intra- mural basketball league. His favorite hobby is playing ping-pong and dancing Mambo Iambo. Alex has the noble ambition of some day practicing medicine in Venezuela. After receiv- ing his diploma from St. Francis Prep, Alex will pack his belongings and head on to St. Francis College in Loretto to further his education. We wish you success in the years to come. Fred, a four-year man here at The Prep, is cer- tainly one of our students who will always be remembered by his fellow classmates. He has always been eager to be of help whenever possible to his classmates. During his stay here he has been very ac- tively engaged in the school's extra-curricular functions. He played football in his freshmen and senior years. His services were also con- tributed to the soccer team and the basketball team in his junior year. In the intramural sports program he was a veteran of four years in the softball league. Fred was the secretary of his freshmen class and vice-president of his junior class. Being interested in various clubs he be- came a member of the Science Club, the Cam- era Club, the Varsity F Club and was also a big help during the dramatic productions by his assistance as a stage hand. One of Fred's favorite pastimes is listening to good music and playing pool. Fred plans to be an insurance broker and hopes to go to Villanova College after his graduation from The Prep in Iune. Rudy, another native of the neighboring city of Hanover, came to The Prep in his sophomore year after having previously attended Hanover Iunior High School. Rudy participated in every major sport in his three years stay at The Prep. He played halt- back on the Varsity football team, guard on the Varsity basketball team and catcher on the Varsity baseball team. He was very outstand- ing in each one ot these three sports, and he was awarded a Varsity F letter for each sport. He was captain of the basketball team in his senior year. He was champion miler in the in- tramural racing event in his junior year, and he was also an intramural swimming champ. Even though Rudy was burdened with a heavy sport schedule, he iound time to study and he was a fairly good student. He belonged to the Camera Club and was one of its active members. Rudy's favorite hobby is hunting for small game in the woods of Penn- sylvania. Rudy is now in the Marine Corps and after a couple of years Rudy intends to continue his education at the University of Pittsburgh. Balmiro, a good friend from South America, came to St. Francis Prep in 1950 to complete his secondary education after having attended Liceo Baralt in Maracaibo, Venezuela. Upon his arrival at St. Francis, Balmiro be- came very popular even though he had some difficulty picking up the English language. He was very good scholastically which probably is a result of his diligent application. He also lent his valuable talents to the Camera Club of which he was a very active member. Balmiro spent most of his free time writing letters and listening to classical records which made him a critic of fast record music. During the spring, Balmiro plans to play the outfield for the baseball team defending the Maroon and White. During his leisure time we will be sure to find him by the swimming pool showing his skilful diving ability lor which he is well-known. After he receives his diploma, Balmiro plans to study Business Administration at St. Francis College located in Loretto, Pa. We wish you success in your future plans. v x Tom is one of the newer additions to The Prep. In September, 1950, we found a new addition from the Red Rose city of Lancaster. The football squad soon discovered that we were privileged in having a very fine center. Tom did a superb job at this position. Many were the backtield men who could credit their gains in part to Tom's fine center accuracy. Tom has not only contributed to our football squad, but has also been actively engaged in several other sports. At the close of the pigskin season, Tom was the guiding light behind the formation of the Wrestling Club. Many after- noons were spent by the young contortionist in teaching and guiding the other wrestling en- thusiasts in the art of the game.- Because of his interest and activity in sports, Tom is a member of the Varsity F Club. He is very interested in track and swimming among other things. Although Tom claims sports to be his favorite activity, we think that social events must run a close second. He is determined to become a coach when opportunities permit, and in this we wish him the best of luck. After having completed his grammar school education, Fred left his hometown of Mara- caibo, Venezuela, and journeyed north to com- plete his education at St. Francis. It wasn't long before Fred mastered the English language and became an active figure in the social life at St. Francis. He has been an excellent student scholasti- cally and during his four years stay his name was frequently on the Scholastic Honor Roll. Fred was a member of The Hill staff, Boxwood staff, the Glee Club, the Science and Math Clubs. The work that Fred did in these various clubs was always satisfactory since he was al- ways a willing worker. A soccer team was formed in his sophomore year and for two years his fine playing helped the team to complete the envious record. He received a Varsity F letter for his effort in 1950. He also participated in all intramural sports, of which softball was his favorite. Fred's favorite hobby is working on experiments in the chemistry lab. He hopes to attend St. Francis College and study to be a veterinarian. lf- - .. -1-1' - 4 - gag ' --' fi., 'elf fr J' f'.:T '.,-sw ' -51: 1 'irr- --.- ..,..n... ..

In the fall of 1949, the city of Bristol, Connecti- cut, lost a citizen, cmd St. Francis gained a new student and friend. After completing two years at Bristol High School, Dud decided to further his education in the Franciscan way. In his junior year he succeeded in acquiring a berth on the basketball squad. In his senior year Dud again offered his talents as a guard on the football team, and really was a top- notcher in this capacity. He also played intra- mural softball and basketball. As captain of the intramural basketball squad he led the team into second place in competition. Besides hold- ing membership in the Varsity F Club, Dud was secretary of the Student Council this year. He performed this task with efficiency. Hunting and fishing are the two highlights in his life, and he is never against a quick nap. When music is mentioned, Dud prefers Dixie- land melodies. Next year Dud hopes to continue his education at the University of Connecticut. We wish to extend to you our sincere wishes for happiness, success and prosperity in the future years to come. Albert or Squeaky, as he is known to us, came to St. Francis after completing his grammar school education in his home city ot Maracaibo. It didn't take Albert long to master a fairly good knowledge of the English language and to learn American ways. His quick wit and fine personality won him the friendship of every student. In his four-year stay at The Prep, Albert was very active in school functions and he belonged to many clubs. He was a member of the Camera Club, the Varsity F Club, the Science Club. - - ur ---11'-A A- -e--- -ni- and The Hill staff in which his work was very noteworthy. He played one year of Varsity baseball in his freshmen year, and he has spent three successful years on the tennis team.

Bob or Sonny, as he is known to us, comes from Hanover, Pennsylvania. He attended Hanover Iunior High School, before enrolling at The Prep as a sophomore three years ago. Bob never missed a day of football practice and he was a resistible player. He played halfback, fullback and guard on the football team during the past three years. As a reward lor his excel- lent playing, Bob won the Headmaster Award in 1950. During his sophomore year Son played on the Iunior Varsity basketball team. He was active in intramural sports such as softball and basketball. He was captain of the champion St. Iohn's basketball team during his senior year. Bob gave us his fine voice in the Glee Club, and he is a member of the Varsity F Club. He intends to patrol our highways as a mem- ber of the Pennsylvania State Police after he finishes his education. Bob's favorite hobbies are working at a clothing store as a salesman and dancing to red-hot jazz. He is now a member of the Hanover National Guard, and it's more than possible that his next schooling will be on an Army base. Don, who hails from Audubon, New Iersey, at- tended Camden Catholic High School before his enrollment at St. Francis last September. He came to The Prep to better prepare himself for college and to obtain necessary credits for college entrance. He played quarterback on the Varsity foot- ball team and he could always be counted on to play his best, when the going was toughest. Don was noted for his ability in handling and hurling the pigskin from the quarterback posi- tion. Whenever The Prep wanted some yard- age they just called on Don to throw a long pass. He was also a sparkplug on the basket- ball floor and his ability to score points and control the backboard made him a great asset to this year's team. Don's favorite activity is dancing to slow music. His ambition after he leaves The Prep is to attend the University of Pennsylvania and take a course in Business Administration. He also hopes to be a starter on Pennsylvania's fresh- men team next fall. We hope that you will find happiness and success in the future years. - -V-1, -Y-Wm V .YW- E ,..-. ,-L-..- U - 4 - -' .,,- v 1 ' - .,.1:,. J -g-1 f1,,.g,. . :3g4,-.- Mum I ,. Nj Q, , ,,.,.-.

The lad from Blossburg was here but a few days, when Prepsters dis- covered his fine sense of humor and cheering helpfulness. The football squad was further en- riched by Nei1's services as a defense halfback. Drive, coupled with a will to win, made him a valuable asset to the Hilltoppers. Football was all over too soon for Neil and so he turned his interests to basketball. Realiz- ing that he was not expert enough at the game he undertook the difficult task of manager, and in this capacity was remarkably successful. It seemed that in spite of these activities, Neil was unable to quench his hunger for activities and so he was soon a contributing journalist on The Hill. Days were busy for Neil, but he still man- aged to put time on his favorite hobbies such as. tinkering with motors and discussing boats. Neil plans to journey to the campus oi St. Bona- venture next year to commence the study of Civil Engineering. We extend to you our sincere wishes for happiness and success in the coming years.

Although Bob was at The Prep for only one year, he fitted right in with the gang and immediately became pop- ular on account of his personality and witty sense of humor. Bob is an active member of the Camera Club, The Boxwood, and The Hill staff and his services were very well done. Bob is a pretty good stu- dent and his best subject is chemistry. When there are difficult experiments to be done in the chemistry lab, you will always iind Bob more than willing to perform them. Bob's favorite pas- time is collecting records and listening to the music of Fred Waring. He also likes to talk about the great town of Greensburg and the apple of his eye. After graduation Bob intends to take a vaca- tion this summer, and then he expects to enter Dickinson in the fall to study public relations. We earnestly hope that you will have a very bright future, Bob. Like most of the South American students, Omar studied four years at Our Lady of Chiquinquira High School, in Maracaibo, Venezuela.

Father Demetrius who directs the Altar Society has, as in past years, faithfully developed each mem- ber into a reverent and versatile server. The members show great fidelity throughout the year by serving the priests during Mass, Bene- diction and Stations of the Cross. This faithful- ness Was mainly due to the interests of Father Demetrius who has been the society's mentor for the past year. It can be said that this year the society has reached its full maturity for it has enrolled its members in the nationally- known Knights of the Altar, which heads the numerous societies of America.

Kowacic. the Glee Club again this year was one ot the most popular outlets for those boys who had any singing ability. The Glee Club is made up of boys from each class. Every Wednesday found them practicing numbers in the East Wing music room in preparation for their sing- ing program. The Glee Club rendered its ser- vices at the annual Christmas program, the minstrel, pep rallies and banquets. At the Christ- mas program its numbers included Ioy to the World, Silent Night, Iingle Bells and The First Noe1. About thirty boys are members ot this organization, which offers excellent oppor- tunity tor training in singing. This year, under the moderation of Brother Alo- ysius, the Camera Club has proven itself to be of great value to The Prep. As in previous years, its members have taken many interesting and valuable pictures of The Prep teams in action. but this year, due to the skilled photography of the students, The Boxwood and The Hill have profited considerably. At the club's meetings, the students talked about the many new phases of photography and inspected pictures taken by the members. The Camera Club covers all so- cial events, including the Senior Ball and the Iunior Prom, and they develop all their pictures in the school's well-equipped darkroom.

FRANCIS: 19-LA SALLE: 7 Under the arcs for the first time, the Prepsters played a highly spirited La Salle team from Cumberland, Maryland. Rudy Fake sparked The Prep by scoring all three touchdowns. He ran for two touchdowns in the second period and one in the third. Coach Thomas, sporting his new defense platoon, did not fair well in the beginning of the game. for in the first minute of play La Salle broke away for a score. Recover- ing from the deficit, the Prepsters managed to pull out in front with the fine tackling of Son Henry and the great running of Rudy Fake. Despite the fact that the Hilltoppers won by a score of 19-7, they lost Spike Davidson, first string end, for the remainder of the season, because of a shoulder injury. This certainly was another hard blow to the squad. Bottom, left: Paul Alexsa being tackled by a Charlotte Hall delender,' Tom Floyd is ready to take out a man.

FRANCIS: 8-CHARLOTTE HALL: 20 The injury riddled Prep squad played host to Charlotte Hall Military Academy. of Maryland, on November 4. The starting line-up for The Prep contained many reserves, and with the opening quarter looked as though the Hilltop- pers would stand a good chance of winning, but as the game progressed the lack of experi- enced men was noticed. The Hilltoppers drew the first blood, with Alexsa going over from the ten. Soon after this Alexsa was withdrawn from the game with a rib injury. The combination ol Garner and Kline accounted for the entire score. The game ended with the Cadets out in front, 20-8. Tom Floyd Paul Alexsa Kennedy, Barry and Alexsa practice punting. ST. FRANCIS: 19-WILLIAMSON TRADE: U The Hilltoppers brought their season to a close by defeating Williamson Trade of Philadelphia, 19-0. Weak with injuries the Saints pressed into service Son Henry, who played guard all through the season. Henry showed that he could not only play guard, but could play fullback as well. He scored two touchdowns in the second period from the one and seven-yard lines, re- spectively. The tinal touchdown was scored in the third period, when Eugene Nichols galloped 70 yards. Twenty-four Prepsters donned their uniforms tor the last time. This game was the end of a hard season for the squad and for the seniors playing their final game.
