Badzik, Vincent ' 44- ' 45 Coached B football squad. Vince had the urge to play football but due to the fact that he wasn ' t here long enough, he did the next best thing by being the coach of the Invincible Badzik B team. He has a good start, so keep it up Vince. Batykefer, Raymond •43- ' 45 Football 1, Basketball 2, Band 1, Glee Club 1. Ray, the kinky-haired kid from Pittsburgh, Pa., with the full moon face and the pop eyes, has made a name for himself in the Kaydet backfield. The grapevine has it that since his near tragedy last summer, the quarterback had only to yell, Fire and Old Hot Foot really took out. Bell, Elvin ' 43- ' 45 Track 1, Glee Club 2, Crack Platoon 1, Forensics 1, On Parade 1, Choir 1. Bell, (the Elvin was ob- viously hung on him during the first year of his life be- fore he was able to take care of himself) belongs to the heavy cruiser class, mounting two fourteen inch fists from heavily armored turret-shoulders, with an overall length of 72 inches, displacing about 190 pounds. He is a nice easy-going guy, never has been known to start a fracas, but once he is started he works like an artist. He loves classical music — when played by his favorite pianist.

Belleau, Nels ' 44. ' 4S Nels Belleau, of the girl- ish blush and the dimpled smile, joined the class his senior year. He is the quiet, studious type, but shows flashes of impishness when the occasion warrants. A solid, silent, dependable guy, (local girls take notice) who believes that hard work is the sure road to success, he should make his mark in life. Berland, John •43- ' 45 On Parade 1, Dramatics 1, Crack Platoon 1. A man of careful de- cisions, Bury made up his mind to return to St. Joe ' s this year by flipping a coin. His greatest delight is to learn that Palco walloped Plainville in anything. Hav- ing done yeoman ' s service as clerk in the school canteen he hopes to enter the U. S. Navy and perhaps become a yeoman storekeeper first- class. Betthauser, Gilbert ' 41 - ' 45 Cheerleader 1, Band 1. The general popularity of Gib Betthauser is attrib- uted to two things — a charming personality and a streamlined black Pontiac. He modestly declines the title The Errol Flynn of Hays, but if driven hard will admit it. Drafted by popular acclaim to be cheer- leader of the Corps he h s done a very creditable job. It has been cattily remarked that his nasal appendage has made unnecessary the use of a megaphone. Gib is a good officer and a good friend.
