CHARLES MCNEIL Student Council 4 Honor Roll 4, 3, 2, I Charlie claims that football contains, for him, all of the most exciting elements of any sport, A neatly rolled up into one. Though never on the football team himself, Charlie found vicarious pleasure on the sidelines and from carefully per- using the Football Annual which is his selection for the best modern American magazine. In the line of studies, Charlie found chemistry more to his taste than a subject more academic and to the pursuit of condensing gases and va- porizing liquids he gave the best of his efforts. As for a hobby, he prefers duck hunting above all and his proficiency here is on a par with his My We enthusiasm for football. Ll. . 419533 . .,.. . 'Q-v:..f.'vbE ww ' .ifllko-K, JAMES MCSWEENEY Many seniors are undoubtedly surprised to see a new face in the classrooms of St. joe's this year. They were more surprised to find out that jim Mcsweeney was not a stranger in the school but had been a member of the senior class of 1939. jim left school to join the flghting forces of our country, training at Mitchell Field, St. Louis, Hartford and Riverside, California. After becoming a well trained radio mechanic and op- erator, he was sent to Hawaii and participated in the landings at Leyte. He now has the distinction of being the hrst veteran to return to St. joe's.

F JOHN MAYER Football 3, 2 john was one of those to whom athletics came naturally. Although he was not a member of the Varsity team in football, nevertheless his dogged- ness and determination won for him the respect and admiration of all his teammates. He was also an earnest St. 'loe's booster, working hard to make all the school events successful. It can be said of John that he attended every social event without fail whether it be a football game or a school concert. john was one of the few Seniors who was able to graduate in three and a half years and, upon completing his high school edu- cation, he immediately entered the Marine Corps. 3 ' 9 , - f,, .ze gfiivixg 'G J :humid- CLAIR MCMULLEN Honor Roll 4, I Class Treasurer, 3 Mac's shy, retiring manner well conceals his real nature which is fun-loving and impish. Clair's hobby and his favorite sport are closely allied in that both-dancing and bowling-require expert footwork. For the future, Clair looks toward a career in the Navy where, he hopes, his best efforts may be directed in a manner benencial to both. The only times we recall Clair,s making any undue sounds were during chemistry, his favorite period, when some remarkable discovery would evoke an exclamation of surprise or, more often, some comment indicative of his deep appre- ciation for the miracle men of science.

DAVID MEASER Student Council 4 Honor Roll 2, I Football 4, 3, 2 Dave, an athletic, studious, and amiable com- panion, is one of St. Joe's most illustrious gradu- ates. I-Ie especially distinguished himself on the gridiron by expertly receiving the passes of his teammate, Bucky Illig. His prowess at this type of playing was a decisive factor in giving the team a victorious season. Dave proved to be a coopera- tive member of the Student Council and won com- mendation from both the faculty and the students for his conscientious work in this capacity. Few students have succeeded as well as Dave in mak- ing themselves outstanding in two diversihed fields, and his absence from the ranks of the student body will be difficult to fill. wmadff ,hs - ' S , A 1.7 rffigh E ' muh r A KENNETH MENGE Student Prints 4, 5, 2, I Student Council 4 Debating 3 Honor Roll 4, 3, 2,1 Class Secretary 4 Among the leaders of the senior class is Ken- neth Menge, who, through his four years at St. -Ioe's, has striven to top the held in anything which he has undertaken. If we were to judge by what we see of him, it could be said that he has succeeded in this respect. Besides being the editor of the Student Prints and the president of the Student Council, Kenneth has directed his mani- fold talents toward maintaining a leading position on the honor roll for four years. The duties of class secretary fell to Ken in his senior year and he served with his accustomed willingness and tenacity. 44
