EMMET MOYNIHAN Em,,, as this silent senior is known to his staunch friends, is another of the select group who finished high school in three years. Em was never one of St. joeis more boisterous students but he will always be remembered as a quiet dili- gent student who, by dint of silent and unswerv- ing loyalty, so often prove the bulwark of a school. His burning interest outside of class is winter sports of any kind-skating, tobogganing, skiing-which can be traced to early years in the snow-covered hills of Connecticut. When seeking relaxation, this modern Norseman divides his time between chess and photography, both of which take full advantage of his love of the meticulous and the painstaking. ru , .s' f L' RICHARD OBRINGER One likes to think of Dick as a typical student because of his good scholastic rating and his at- tempts to keep out of the limelight. It is this type of fellow who forms the background of the school. He faithfully supported all activities, at- tending most of the football, basketball, and base- ball games. Rudy's school friends will miss his beaming smile and ready remarks. A successful practice in dentistry seems to be the object of Dick,s endeavors, and he may be sure that all our hopes and good wishes follow a real gentle- man and a good friend. gush 9

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
