72 .Ll J -5: . ll Of late the Maroon Crew has become quite a highly regarded aggregation. The oar benders found in the junior ranks include Jim Wynne, Larry Lauer, Jim McMullen, Dave Gillig, and Bud Kur- ban, as well as coxswain Joe Rotunda. Mainstays of the Track and Cross-Country teams were miler Xander Pitass, and 440 star Leon Greene, as well as Jerry Bartz and Jack Crotty, outstanding in the half mile and sprint respectively. There proved, this spring, to be many baseball prospects in the class of '55. Dave McLaughlin and Joe Jacobi made a formidable battery, supported by Roger Mattulke and Ken Gantress. Greeting Brother William to form the nucleus of the golf team were Dick Leahy, John Fox and Jim Connerton. Moving away to the chess field, we find juniors to be the kingpins of the team. Enthusiasts of the sport of kings are Joe Voelkl, Ken and Pete Mc- Mahon, and Jim Connerton. The Debating Society claimed John Castro, Lo- ville Martlock and Gail Gurtner as its chief mem- bers. Juniors comprised a large part of the staff of the Student Prints as well as supplying next year's editorial staff. These new editors, headed by Dave Collins and John Whitehead, are Bert Maggioli, Jim Mischler and Fred Lavin. Joe Voelkl, John Whitehead and Jerry Finaldi also contributed greatly to this publication, the '54 Star. Wait 'till next year, seems to be the philoso- phy of the Junior athletes, while the same boys, from a scholastic viewpoint, need only point to this year's record. Front row: G. Zientara, J.

ophomores ln accordance with the traditions of St. Joe's, this year's Sophomore Class, as in previous years, has proven itself outstanding in all fields of activi- ties. Although some participated with more vigor than others and made their names known to all, it can be truly said that the sophomores were consistent in making their presence felt. The Sopho- - .- - -y X -lm K.-' lt.. , X more year offers great rewards for the young pro- gressive student who is looking forward to his later years. This year's class shows it is eager to reap the benefits of real effort.

Most noteworthy are Henry Eberle, Joseph Lull, Richard Paske and Lawrence Donohue, who have consist- ently been class leaders. The sophomores have been constant recipients of honors and regular members of the Alexander Honor Society. The various religious services throughout the year have seen Robert Heim, Henry Eberle and Richard Paske in the role of acolytes. The Student Prints, a long-favored activity at St. Joe's is able to claim for itself the abilities of
