Emilio arrived at The Prep in the fall of 1949 for his junior year after spending the first two years of his secondary education at the Marist Broth- ers' School in Mexico. He is the only boy from Mexico attending St. Francis this year. Emilio was very active and a very popular student in his two years at St. Francis. He has many friends on account of his quick wit and his fine personality. His primary goal while he was in school was to better himself in scholastic ability, and he showed himself capable of achieving this. Emilio likes chemistry which is considered his best sub- ject and there are iew books in the library that he hasn't read. His favorite hobby is listening to music and he enjoys dancing very much. When the weather is permissible, you could always find Emilio swimming. Ping-pong has always occupied much of his time, and his playing abil- ity has won him fame throughout the school. After graduation from The Prep, Emilio plans to travel southward, where he will undertake the study of Chemical Engineering at the Na- tional University ot Mexico.

l l Charlie first entered The Prep a year after the gates were first opened in 1947. He stayed on to become a four-year member at St. Francis. Charlie hails from Baltimore, and he is always trying to convince his classmates that Baltimore sells more things than just crabs. There were few activities that Charlie did not participate in. He has given his time to the Camera Club, the Rifle Club and the Radio Club. In his sophomore year, Charlie aided in the establishment of the amateur radio station and he has also been a radio and television aide around the school in any emergency. Any time that The Prep was putting on a play, Charlie was always summoned to build a stage. Charlie's favorite pastime is speed-boat racing and relaxing to semi-classic music. Charlie's favorite subjects take in all types of mathemat- ics, especially plane geometry and algebra. Charlie is now in a boat business for himself and after graduation from The Prep, he plans to attend night school to pick up other credits in a technical field which will help him in business. We wish you every success in your work.
