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.
