THE OLD GANG OF ' 46 LOUIS ABBOTT Louie is a new member of the senior class. Coming from Wolcott, Indiana, he has made many friends in the short time he has been a member of the student body. With his knowl¬ edge of game laws and other like laws of the State of Indiana, he should be an ideal Hoo- sier. Quiet and unassuming, he is bound to be a perfect citizen. Considering the weight he carries around with him, he should be quiet and unassuming. We’ll always remember Louie as the “brain” of Fr. Fred’s civics class. NORMAN ASCIIERMAN It seems that every student on the campus either knows or has heard of Norm. Dubbed the “Sleeping Beauty” of the Senior Class, he is famous or infamous for his ability to drop off to sleep anytime or anywhere. Very young looking for his age. Norm attributes his youth¬ ful looks and beauty to the extra sleep he manages to grab whether it be in the class¬ room, auditorium, “J” cafe, or refectory. Man¬ ager of the Raleigh Club this year, he has picked up a few more pointers on how to be¬ come a pool shark. GERALD BECK Now there’s a fellow to talk about! Any young man that can finish high school in three years and maintain an excellent average all the way through deserves to be talked about. This is exactly what Jerry has done. Former¬ ly from Illinois and now an inhabitant of “sunny” California, Jerry should have a lot of fun out there with beautiful movie stars. Living just about a mile from U. C. L. A., he should find school close at hand every morn¬ ing, although not the 300 feet from his class rooms at St. Joe. ALEJANDRO BELDEN Coming via Monterrey, Mexico City, and Austin, Texas, we have a young fellow with a flair for mathematics. Rich in knowledge of figures (and I use the word loosely) Alex should go places in the engineering field. He doesn’t look half bad on the basketball floor either. Alex knows how to handle that sphere. Also he knows how to handle the hooves. Girls, this little fellow can dance like Arthur Murray. Sometime when you get the urge to dance, drop in at the Belden ha¬ cienda in Monterrey, and I assure you the trip will not have been in vain. JOHN CHAMBERLAIN And now in this corner we have John Ham¬ ilton. Known as “Bookie”, “Slugger”, and “Cue-Ball”, John is best known as the “Charles Atlas of St. Joe”. The “Slugger’s” right, de¬ veloped by continually dipping ice cream in the “J” cafe, almost puts Charles Atlas’ to shame. Summarizing his three years at St. Joe the following poem does well: John is a young “Atlas” so they say. He comes from up Michigan way. Of John many things you can say. The best is: He worked hardest in the “J”. ARTHUR CLEMENS Art comes from southern Indiana—“Way down thar in them hills”, as the saying goes. In his senior year it seemed as though Art never thought about his own welfare but the welfare of those poor, innocent freshmen. Ah yes, I fear that the freshmen will never forget Art Clemens of the senior class. Many’s the time “Clem” was seen plodding along in slouch hat and “Lil Abner’s”, heading for the Administration Building. (That’s where the freshmen live). No slouch in the classroom, his brain is covered with a mop of some¬ thing resembling hair. My mistake, it is hair. LEROY DREILING Known as “Kansas” to the fellows, Lee has come a long way from that little town of Victoria, Kansas. A mainstay on the line, Lee earned his monogram at tackle. He’s a natural born football player. Standing around six feet, big and burly, he is really a very fine chap. If his ability to play baseball can be judged by the performances of his uncles, he should go a long way in sports. Working his way through school, Lee can be heard daily singing, (anyway that’s what he calls it) while doing his chores in Eastern Seifert. ROBERT EDER One of the fellows hailing from North Ver¬ non, “Bobby Joe” is a typical St. Joe man. Bob captained the varsity five through the best season at St. Joe. Recently classified 1-A in the draft. Bob is expected to see service in Uncle Sam’s army. No other student in the Academy is as lucky as Bob when it comes to a roommate. Last year Bob did all the clean¬ ing of his room. This year, “His man Pete” is the chambermaid of “Momo’s” room. An ex¬ cellent student. Bob is destined to go places. CON FECHER Our boy Connie is another typical St. Joe man. Participating in all sports, Connie was proficient in all. He captained the St. Joe gridiron eleven through some pretty rough games. Everywhere Connie goes he carries with him a certain kind of humor. He thinks his jokes are the funniest. But we’ll forgive him because Fred Allen is another one. Every¬ thing considered, Connie is a swell fellow. He’ll do anything for you (for a price) and you’ll never see him without that smile that is so much a part of Connie Fccher, the kid from Dayton. JAMES FROMMEYER This fellow Frommeyer is something to write home about. Anyway there’s enough to write about. “Jelly” comes from Cincy where he is now attending college after graduating at the half. A familiar sight on the campus (and I do mean sight), Jim is very active in all student activities. From the way he handled the student election, “Jelly” should go far in the field of politics. Big Jim’s a boy that can smile when the chips are down. A stalwart member of the football team, Jim is a real pal that will long be remembered. Page twenty

JORGE GARCIA The other member of the senior class that represents Mexico is that fellow Garcia. Jorge came to St. Joe last year by himself but de¬ cided he needed reinforcements so when he came back this year, he brought along his cousin who is a junior. A bookkeeping fiend as well as going in for intramural sports, Jorge has proven his worth at studies as well as athletics. He is also a superb dancer as all these Mexicans seem to be. So, girls, add the name of Garcia to your list of dancers to look up when you go to Mexico for a good time. EDWARD HAUER Eddie is another character that won’t soon be forgotten. Given to St. Joe by the city of Terre Haute, Ed has proved worthy of wearing the scarlet and purple letter that lie won through his elforts in basketball and football. Another able campaign manager during the student council election puts rJa in a position to get somewhere in the held of politics. Last year he lived in Noll Hall and ne liked it there so well that he left his friends in Siefert to live there again this year, al¬ though the decision was not altogether Eddie’s own. DEAN HAYDEN Christened Charles Dean at birth, this young man prefers to be known as Dean. He IS half of the city of Lafayette’s gift to St. Joe. An active member of the school band during his junior year, Dean also is very active in other things. An ardent advocate of intramural sports, he has shown ability in basketball and football. “Flip” doesn’t take enough interest in his sax to suit the inhabit¬ ants of Seifert. We all remember the great times that were had in club “52” with that so-called musical entertainment. All we have to say is: “Keep up the good work, Dean.” PETER HOLLAND In every graduating class there is that in¬ evitable person who cracks the corniest jokes that you have ever heard. You usually have heard half of them years ago. The senior class possesses this character in the person of Pete Holland. “Bud” means well but you know how such people are. At one time “Bud” pictured himself as a Sinatra but there again is Pete with his corny joke. He is a pretty good basketball player even though his humor is bad. Equally good at football, Pete has St. Joe to his liking. Pete will always be remembered for his unique laugh. ROBERT HUMMEL The other senior from North Vernon, In¬ diana, is “Bobby John”. Bob has spent four very industrious years on the campus. Wher¬ ever there is an office to be held you will find the name of Hummel. With this experience. Bob undoubtedly will become a great leader. “Bobby John” is also a very good roommate especially if there is an English assignment to be handed in tomorow. Isn’t that right. Norm? All four years Bob has been associated with sports in one way or another—either as a member of the squad or as manager. The title, “Most Likely to Succeed”, is most ap¬ propriate for Bob. JOSEPH KOSCIELNIAK A noted member of the senior class is this fellow Joe. Christened “Kissy” by his fellow students because of the difficulty that was en¬ countered when trying to pronounce his last name, Joe has gained many friends on the cam¬ pus. “Kissy” was dropped on the campus around Easter time of ’45. As captain of an intramural football team Joe progressed well. Quite the woman’s man, “Kissy”, nevertheless, was far enough advanced in his studies to graduate at the semester and enter college. He is still on the campus as a member of the self-styled college bandits, but we forgive you, Joe. JOSEPH REGAN Jay the “gun”, the man who won the elec¬ tion. This statement summarizes the biggest and best position that Regan occupied. Win¬ ning the election and becoming student council president fired another of the many sparks that makes this kid get up and fight. For the last two years. Jay has been an ideal student. He not only kept a good average as a student, but he also was a flash in basketball, a demon in football, and a natural in baseball (N. C.j. He possessed a very great determination which was a Regan quality. Socially Jay was also prominent. Ask the Longwood girls. JOHN RICE A fellow like Johnnie comes along once in a lifetime. Due to the football season. Rice was given the name of “Splinters”. In his capa¬ city as sports writer for Stuff, the school paper, “Splinters” has sometimes been called the Arch Ward of St. Joe. “Splinters” is crammed full of wit as is seen by the numerous friends he has all over the campus. He and his new roommate, the fifth in two years, are noted for their performances in humorous skits and scoops on the campus. Johnnie is also known as the chief cook and bottle washer of upper Seifert. FRANK RITTER The Almighty One is the self-given syno¬ nym which is associated with the name of Frank Ritter. Nickey and his roommate are the only two “Married Men” in the Academy. Known as the “Scourge of God” by his table mates, Tex is nevertheless, a sweet and gen¬ tle guy. If you don’t believe me, ask Ruthie. Quite the “brain” when it comes to studies Tex’s academic ability can be summed up as follows: I think that I shall never know, A guy so good as this great “joe”; A “joe” who each and every day. Proves that hard work will always pay. ROBERT ROTH Still another member of the Kansas delega¬ tion is Bob Roth. Being a new man this year did not handicap Bob; he hopped on the wagon and was soon in stride with the life at St. Joe. Although on the campus only a semester, he made many lasting friends and was liked by all. In intramural activities he is classed among the best. While rooming in Seifert, he and his roommate became known as the “we done it” twins. When it came to women. Bob was in there pitching. Ask Tony and West if you don’t believe me. He’ll be remembered as the good looking kid from Kansas. Page twenty-two
