His love for winter sports is required through regular trips to Chestnut Ridge Park, where he skates, skiis, and goes tobogganing over week- ends. His dancing, too, is admired by many of us less proficient at this art. Don is also talented in building model airplanes. He helped out a great deal in the management of the school book- store and his speed in handing us that much- needed pad or pen during the brief period between bells will always be remembered with a smile. 5 .,'.,I,N 5 10, f fx izx I 1 fr jk. , . , , Q S J 'ufntn 'A JOHN KRUSE Rollicking and robust, john entered St. Joe's in the fall of '42 as a young and naive product of the grammar schools. In short order, however, he learned the fundamentals of a successful high school career and he was, by his sophomore year, a hearty supporter of the C. S. M. C. He was also one of the original members of the Sham- rock Club. The Building Fund Drive found an eager worker in john who capped his high school career by playing an integral part in two of the biggest senior activities, the Prom and the Senior Dinner Dance.

EARL KUMPF f 0 Student Prints 3, 2, I Glee Club 3, 2,1 Dramatic Society 3 Honor Roll 3, 2, I Football 4, 3, 2 Earl is one of the more sports-minded students at St. -Ioe's. He was a member of the varsity football team during his last three years at the Institute and also participated in interclass bas- ketball. Ivan', did not confine his activities to athletics, however. He was a member of the Glee Club during his first three years and wrote for the Student Prints during those years. In his junior year, Earl joined the Dramatic Society, serving as prompter. Ivan's only hobby is his sports scrap book, to which he devotes much of his free time. 'H Q L' a .gg if JOHN LEPCZYK Student Prints 4, 3, 2, I Honor Roll 4, 2, I A most active member of the senior class triumvirate - Grucza, Obringer and Lepczyk - this nimble student is, perhaps, best known for his contributions to the pages of the Student Prints which has made good use of his talents in the footsteps of Heywood Broun, et al. John's versatile style was often responsible for much innocent merriment as his schoolmates chuckled over his Class Notes written in a manner com- bining the best features of Walter Winchell and the late lamented Mr. Benchley. His name, by the end of our four years together, was synony- mous with the practical joke and the center of general amusement was usually traced to johnny. 39
