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.

Y 3 .1-v V'A ii ii Auf FRANCIS MODZELEWSKI RAYMOND MORTEK Glce Club 2,1 Glec Club I Honor Roll 3, 2, I Honor Roll 4, 3, 2,1 After graduating in three and a half years, Modzie joined the Navy and at present is a Seaman 2nd Class. During his school days, he attained an enviable record both in scholastics and in extra-curricular activities. In his second year, the outstanding accomplishment accredited to him was acting as toastmaster at the first an- nual banquet of the Shamrock Club, a position which he filled more than capably. His interest in piano music, classical and popular, led to Modzie's membership in the Glee Club of St. -Ioe's in his third year. During his latest visit to the school, it was learned that his chief hobby, radio, is helping him a great deal in the service of his country. fi Ray has developed a good business sense by managing his motheris delicatessen over the past two years and the practical experience gained at this work will abet him no end when his school days are over. Ray's main interests in his some- what crowded extra-curricular life are horseback riding and hockey, which, covering different sea- sons as they do, manage to keep him diverted through the entire year. His hobby veers toward the artistic-drawing, and, more particularly, air- craft design. Running a close second to work with the sharp pencil point and the drawing board is his zealous interest in foreign coins. ' qs PS1 fgf-f-gxmgx 3
