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

DANIEL RUPLE Dan 01 - Rupe as he is known, was one of the livewires in the senior class. He and his room¬ mate were electrifying. Rupe was among the several boys who joined us this year, and was liked, or should I say enjoyed by all. Claiming Grand Rapids, Mich., as his home town, Dan showed us how they’re brought up in Michi¬ gan. With “Splinters”, his roommate, Dan achieved literary success through the column “Cub Capers” in our school paper STUEF. Danny Boy was at his best as an actor in the numerous short shows throughout the year. ROBERT SCHMIEDER The Baron of Mishawaka will be remember¬ ed by most of us as a big fellow who cheered loudly for the team and whistled twice as loud at the girls. I’m sure he always will be remembered by the freshmen because of the many times they shined his shoes. Coming from a town (anyway they said it was a town) called Mishawaka, Bgb was far enough ad¬ vanced in his studies to permit him to graduate at the half. Right now, if he isn’t too busy whistling, he’s pursuing his studies at South Bend. His last few days on the campus were a lot of fun for all. ANTHONY SEREWICZ The city of Valparaiso, Ind., has produced many big boys. Among them is Tony Sere- wicz. (That’s the way you spell it, and for four years Tony claimed that he is Irish). Standing somewhere in the vicinity of six feet three inches, Tony has utilized his height to the best advantage. He is an all round sports star. In football his height and speed made him an end good enough for any team. As a pivot man on the varsity five, he rolled up points that really counted. Tony has had the first base job nailed dowm for three years straight. With his experience to back him, Tony’s outlook on sports is bright indeed. ROBERT STEPHENS Claiming Peoria, Illinois, as his home, but Peoria not claiming him is that guy, Steve. He is paying his way through school by work¬ ing (anyway he says he works) in the “J” cafe. “Skinny” picked up his name and the weight to go with it while working in the “J” cafe. A member of the yearbook staff his senior year, Steve has proved that he can also write poetry. That right, Louie? Although he has tried his hand at women, he always seems to be beaten out by someone else. With a seat on the Supreme Court in mind, Steve graduates from St. Joe. JOHN THIEME The other half of Lafayette’s contribution to the senior class is Johnnie. He is an indus¬ trious lad who for the past four years has been trying to find a way to be at home and at school at the same time. What’s so inter¬ esting in Lafayette, J. F.? Known as “Cleaver” for thi’ee years, Johnnie finally gave in to custom, and parted his hair on the side. John Frederick has excelled in his studies, on the basketball court, and also on the baseball diamond. By the way, John, who is the “Queen of Lafayette”? Could it still be Maxine? THOMAS WEIS As the years roll by, we’ll always be jarred back to St. Joe by the mention of the word “Jocko”. The “Denny Dimwit” of the senior class will always be cherished as a fond mem¬ ory of school days at St. Joe’s Academy. You can’t forget a character like “Jocko”. The word “unique” describes Tom perfectly. Any class doesn’t seem right unless the laugh of “Jocko” is heard loud and clear above the teacher’s voice. We’re sure Tommy will re¬ member the fellows at St. Joe, and we’re posi¬ tive the fellows will remember “Jocko”. JOHN WEST Last but not least as the saying goes we have Johnny West. That handsome, dashing, good natured kid from Shelby, Ohio. (That plug will cost all of $5, John). The womenfolk and John are great pals. (So he says). Being first string center on the gridiron eleven has earned “Birdie” the coveted monogram award. He was also a gun on his intramural team. The “Sheik from Shelby” has won the friend¬ ship of all the students as well as the friend¬ ship of a few lassies from around this part of the country. Thus with John we end the pass¬ ing parade.
