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.

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.
