George William Allen Intramurals l, 2, 3, 4, Physics 3, 4. That handsome brute, the spark plug of the class, is leaving the Prep, and with him go the friendly quips which have kept us laughing for four years. We hate to see him go, but he takes with him our best wishes for success. Sebastian Benedict Aiello Intramurals l, 2, 3, 45 Camera 35 Physics 3. Sea Bass has afforded us four years of fun and laughs, so much so that in our early days we were suspicious lest we be the object of his glee. We hope he doesn't laugh so muchg the boss or the blonde might not understand him as we do. 28 William Arthur Allers lntramurals l, 2, Swimming i, 2, 3, 4. ls it a whale? ls it a submarine? No, it's Allers coming down the stretch to win the breast-stroke event for S.J. P. Bill has carved a notch in our memories, not only for his swimming prowess, but for good fellowship as well. Simone Joseph Amato Intramurals l, 2, 3, 4g French 3, Physics 3, Riding 2. Sam will long be remembered in the annals of the Prep for his originality, and his monstrous black sedan.

Haw of Qmamq 7749 WITH a grinding of emotional gears and a tugging of heart strings, we reverse the lens and look back over the past four years. l-low fast the time has slipped by, swirling us along down the pathway of life without our realizing it! lt seems as though it were only a few months ago that, graduating from our parochial schools, we answered with awe and respect the beckoning of Brooklyn's stately gueen. . How strange it was at firstgto enter the swift and tossing current of Prep activities. From the very beginning we realized that St. John's, was fargdiffferent, tar mightier'thanQ other schools and so we strove tofgive herthe best we had, the i best we could possibly do. Without waiting for a precious year to Slip by, Dan Keenan, Frank Graham, John Hicks, John McShane, and Rudy Yandoli gave up their leisure time, train-,g ing diligently in order to meet the standardofthe baseballhand. basketball teams. At the same time others, primed themselves forrcoming activities. And come they did, for hardlya month. i or two later the dramatic society convened and .Vinny Garofalofq heeded the call. Scarcely four months afterwards the biggest w Prep social event of the Spring term arrived and forthe t.ii..rstf'i5 time in our lives we found ourselves among the happy, eXu?+i berant Prepsters bound for Rye Beach. We danced, and sang 4 and sported in the midst of the numerous,activities,l enjoyingj each other's company and laying the foundations of Prep life r and Prep friendships. That evening on the trip homelwe .,i, stopped briefly, reflected, and knew in fullithe satisfactiionsn that come from being lOO per cent St. John's and partici? U pating in heractivities. y , 4 4 i 4 4 . J With ever-increasing speed-the incidents of our new drama of life had passed and finally, on thegfiiftlf1,0f June,,we finished y our last exam and brought down the curtain for the close of 1 the first act. 4 I l 4
