Rafferty Um EDWARD JOHN HOENE, an ensign in the United States Naval Reserve, came to St. Martin's in September, 1941, from St. Gertrude's Academy, Cottonwood, Idaho. He was called up with the Naval Reserve at the end of his sophomore year. After 'two semesters at the V-12 school at Gonzaga, he was sent to the Navy Supply Corps school at Harvard University. While at St. Martin's, Ed was a regular member of the honor roll, always near the top. He continued this fine scholastic standing at Gonzaga, ranking among the best students in the school. He did very well at Harvard, in one of the toughest schools in the Navy. Athletically, basketball was his chief attraction. While at St. Martin's, Ed was a member of the St. John Berchman's Serving Society, the Benedictine Oblates, the M-club, and was also assistant storekeeper. Ensign Hoene graduates Magna cum laude, with major in business administration and management, minors in accounting and philosophy. He is now an officer on the U. S. S. Kaskasia, seeing service in the Pacific. JOHN ANDREW HARVEY graduates with a Bachelor of Arts degree with major in philosophy, minors in Latin and social science. He came to St. Martin's from Seattle in September, 1937, and is the first student to complete his entire high school and college course at S.M.C. A consistent student, Jack waited until his junior year in college to attain the honor roll. He was a member of the St. John Berchman's Serving Society, the Bene- dictine Oblates, and in his spare time managed the recreation room and refereed many athletic contests. He may end up a teacher, or a lawyer. JAMES GERARD RAFFERTY, an ensign in the United States Naval Reserve, spent but one year at St. Martin's. He also Went to the Gonzaga V-12 school and from there to the Harvard Navy Supply Corps School. He will complete his studies there in July of this year. A native of Brooklyn, he lived for a few years in Rio de Janeiro, finally settling down in Palo Alto, California. He graduated from Bellarmine Prepartory School, San Jose, California. Jim was very active in social and athletic affairs while at St. Martin's. Though not an honor student, he was always a plugger, a fact amply proved by his ability to graduate from one of the most difficult Navy schools. Ensign Rafferty receives his A.B. with major in business administration, minors in social science and philosophy.

He regi- stered for college work two years ago, but thinking serv- ice in the armed forces near, he dropped out and went to work.
