RAYMOND J. BEHAN, B.A. Intramural Basketball l, Committee 2, 3, Debate Council 2, Treasurer 3. Ray was one of those boys who carried a great deal of responsibility while at St. John's. Not only was he supporting a wife and child, but he also managed to become an active member of the Debate Council and Intramural Basketball Committee. With his sincerity, dependability, and willingness to do his best, Ray will surely attain success in the business world.

Equally at ease with rhetoric or reagents, in the lab or in the lyceum, Eliot attains and com- municates a lively interest in everything his curiosity unearths.

Truly St. John's loss will be an outstanding gain for all his future contacts.

Frank's middle name should be Sinceri'ry for the good service it did him and his col- league's in the activities in which he partici- pated. Never one for the limelight, you would always find him giving everything, backstage. Most sincerely we recommend him to the sem- inarians who will be his future classmates. WILLIAM H. BECKERT, B.S.
