Among Russ' outside activities is the Civil Air Patrol, to which he eagerly devotes two evenings a week mastering the intricacies of aeronautics. With an equally Herce determination, Russ has also ex- pended surplus energy struggling through the rigors of the Dance. Shunning the assistance of Arthur Murray and Company, he prefers, ulti- mately, to win his prizes upon the dance floor through his own perseverance. 28

iff if THOMAS HAYKEL RICHARD HEHIR Glcc Club 4, 3 Honor Roll 4, 3, 2, I Legion of Decency I Basketball 4 At first sight, Tom seems to be very shy and reserved in his actions, but upon making his ac- quaintance, one discovers a friendly, companion- able fellow. Tom's membership in the Glee Club was an asset to that organization, since he was one of the pillars of the group during that time. An ardent baseball fan, Tom can usually be found during the season at the majority of the league games. Tom's current operation is that of file clerk in a trucking company but his future plans do not in- clude business since he hopes to take a pre-medi- cal course next year. 0' '45 71: ul . tu -4 Vis SF'f'f:k5'Y3 . L , 'i I he 557 30 The overwhelming interest in Dick's athletic life is basketball and his proficiency at this sport may well cause George Mikan to look to his lau rels on the court. Dick has practiced long and hard to develop an expertness in basketball, and his fleetness of foot and accuracy of aim in a game are eloquent answers to the questions of results. Equally important in Dick's life is his scholastic standing and, with an eye towards being one of the intellectual lights in his class, he Cle- voted himself to earnest study and never failed to attain a high position on the Honor Roll in his four years at school.
