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.

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 . .,.. .
