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

N M ff' mfv if uri, SWS JOSEPH PALUMBO Student Council 4 Honor Roll 4, 3, 2, I Attending all the school's social activities seems to be Joe's specialty: skating parties, dances, plays, concerts. Despite his quiet attitude, Joe is one of the best liked students in the Senior Class this year. In his previous three years, he displayed a faculty for absorbing education to the extent that he was on the Honor Roll throughout that time. Through extensive research, it was discovered that his favorite subject is mathematics, that he in- tends to follow an engineering course in college, that he is very fond of popular music, and that he is one of those who distribute orders to appear in Student Council Court oils 1 ' 'tsl 1 5' JAMES PLUNKETT Glee Club 3 legion 0 Decency 7 ames IS an avid collector in three distinctly different fields books, stamps and phonograph records This triple threat hobbyist is among the more widely informed members of our class and one whose topics of conversation have a zest and sparkle too often wanting As his career, ames has selected auditing and when the fall rolls around once again it will find him well steeped in the incalculable mysteries of the debit and credit as interpreted by the enigmatic comptome ter In the field of sports, ames distingulshed himself on the rink, the season of the year not mattering to him, as the sound of wheels or blades is music to his ears 42
