,ge 5-:sp I Qs? o il-ADQL1 ' LAWRENCIE LINDSAY Cheerleader 4, 3, 2 just as the names of Amelotte and Romano are paired, so, too, are those of Lindsay and Heftel, who have led our cheerleading section to expend their vocal energies at St. Joe's athletic contests. Lindsay will be remembered as the more cherubic-looking member of the duo although his appearance, we regret to say, is somewhat deceiv- ing since there is beneath his angelic exterior a young man whose potential energy can scarcely be measured. He has a most unangelic interest in football, baseball, hockey and basketball and not from the sidelines, he yearns after the rough, rugged life right in the middle of the fray. 5,,tlm,,, . . . :PFW ENN?

For a young man so ready at all times to exert his untiring efforts on any extra-curricular project, Mike maintained a surprisingly high scholastic standing throughout his four years at school. Perhaps his most exacting task was his enviable work of managing the first Shamrock Club banquet which required a steadying hand to set this embryo organization on its feet in 1944. Our Legion of Decency, in its travels throughout the city, has found Mike an enter- prising leader who, by his own example, is an asset to that organization.

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

JOHN LYoNs Student Council 4 Football 4, 3, 2 Baseball 4, 3, 2, I The predominant factor in .Iohnny's character is his ability to lead in all phases of athletics. Undoubtedly the most likeable trait that jack possesses is the self-assertion which makes itself felt when he mingles in any crowd. His keen sense of good sportsmanship and inspiring leader- ship on the gridiron brought out his ever-present pertinacious attitude. Jack also starred on the baseball diamond, being a natural athlete. In the classroom he neither led nor lagged in his studies but was always intelligently cooperative with the faculty. Despite many handicaps unknown to the majority of his friends, jack has come off the undisputed victor every time. HERBERT MANN Football 4, 2 just as there are bookish types who quite naturally are fine students, so, too, are there solidly built young men who are destined to be football players. Into this latter category falls Herb Mann. However, even as there is a soft spot in all of us, so, also, is there one in Herb who forgets all about the grim realities of the pigslcin world when he heats Let the Rest of the World Go By. What this plaintive melody does to him even Herb cannot explain. Back in the realm of the practical, though, Herb will direct his future energies to the pur- suit of chemistry in college.
