Like most of the South American students, Omar studied four years at Our Lady of Chiquinquira High School, in Maracaibo, Venezuela. Omar then decided to journey northward and continue his secondary education here at St. Francis. It did not take him long to become accustomed to the system oi education here in America. In the field of sports Omar has been a fine sportsman chiefly in soccer and baseball. In his junior year he played first base on the Varsity baseball squad and won his Varsity letter for his fine work. He played intramural football and basketball. Omar's favorite pastime is hunting, fishing and indulging in long walks over the countryside. Omar is a good student which can be veri- fied by his scholastic grades. His favorite sub- ject is history, but he did good class work in all of his subjects while at The Prep. Omar has a noble ambition of some day practicing medi- cine in Venezuela. After receiving his diploma from The Prep, Omar intends to pack his bag and head for St. Francis College in Loretto. We wish you every success in the path of life.

l 1 Bob or Kiski, as he is commonly referred to by the Prepsters, hails from Greensburg, Pennsyl- vania. Before coming to The Prep. he attended Greensburg High and Kiski Prep. 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.

w , l 1 , Frank came to us from Philadelphia in the fall of 1949 as a member of the junior class. He had attended St. Ioseph's Prep in his hometown. After his arrival, he immediately became pop- ular at St. Francis with his classmates. One oi Frank's first sidelines was to become a starting member oi the Iunior Varsity basket- ball team. In his senior year, Frank switched over to intramural basketball and became high scorer of the league. It was mainly because of his point-making that St. Iohn's won the senior championship. He was also found on the Prom and Ball Committees. He was also president of the Footlighters, and held down the role of in- terlocutor in the Varsity Frolics. Frank was also a regular on the Honor Roll. Frank seems to have found great pleasure in roaming the adjoining hills of the campus. He was often found with a couple of companions commencing a trek into the woods. Perhaps it was because of this that he joined the Science Club and was voted president. Next year, Frank intends to begin his study of business at Con- cord College.
