Pfeifer, Albert •41- ' 45 Big Al, the walking radio antenna has no trouble at all in keeping his head in the clouds. A firm believer in the old axiom, Never do tomorrow what you can do today, Al left us early in the year to do his bit in Uncle Sam ' s Army. Good hunting, buddie. Davis, Jack •43- ' 45 Glee Club 1, Crack Platoon 1. Jack, our smiling pyro- maniac from. Tucson, who had no trouble keeping the home fires burning has learned (by careful coaching of local authorities) to be more careful as to where he throws his cigarette butts. Meticulous in dress and or- derly in manner, Jack is only too ready to help a friend in need. No matter where he goes, if Jack manages his life as he did at St. Joseph ' s, the outcome will be inevit- able. Doll, Kenneth ' 44- ' 45 Hailing from the thriving metropolis of Speai-ville, Ken arrived looking like an en- cyclopedia vendor with a satchel full of books. After declining many offers from the Saturday Review of Literature, he settled in order to grant the members of the fairer sex the privi- lege of dancing with a Dolly with the book in his pocket. Studious and industrious, Ken will no doubt graduate in the upper tenth of his class. 43

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.

Downes, David ' 41 - ' 45 Glee Club 4, Choir 4, Dra- matics 2, Basketball 1, On Parade 1, Octet 1. Dave Downes, of the equine smile and galloping gait, has for some unbe- known reason picked up the moniker Horse. He has lived up to his favorite slo- gan Get on the ball by be- ing top student and a fine Cadet. Good Luck, Major. Dreiling, Dean ' 41. ' 45 Football 3, Basketball 1, On Parade 1, Class President. Dean is a man whom we can consider tops in every- thing he does, always ready with a smile or a word of advice, Deany has proven himself as an officer and a friend. A good student of marked athletic ability,, we wish you good luck in your career and we will be with you in whatever you do. Dreiling, Donald ' 42- ' 45 On Parade 1, Band 3, Drum and Bugle Corps 1. Don, our happy-go-lucky Lothario, who in his three years at St. Joe ' s establish- ed a great name for himself in the field of wine, women and song, will not soon be forgotten. Donny Haas one chief interest in Hays, the outcome of which we shall leave to the deductive mind of the reader. Soon enter- ing a career in the Navy, we wish you smooth sailing and please learn to swim. 44
