JCHN HUGO GANSTER GENERAL sT. PETER Playful, z'arz'frz'1', Sdllgllillfg, ' john's personality extends far beyond our own class as jack is the knight chivalrous. Writing poetry and music have formed two indoor hobbies. Typewriting and French have crowned him with laurels. If you visit the golf links you'll know the reason for the freckles which match his irresistible, Hery hair, which by the way has always followed a style, so elusive, as to puzzle the most exacting barber. His genial nature makes him Ll happy-go-lucky companion. So long, john. WILLIAM EUGENE HAMMES GENERAL ST. JOSEPH Afblr'fiv, amlzilious, Fdlltlillv ' Bill,' is the mathematician of the class, and the .wizard of the slide rule. St. Benedict's sent us Bill +,'ir'f his third year, and we think a valuable addition was added to the sixty-eight. He is admired for his straight from the shoulder opinions in which head work is dis- played. A star football player and an ardent basket- ball fan are two achievements of this up and coming engineer, who will probably matriculate at Villanova next September. We wish our friend success, even if he won't pose for the photographer. EDWARD GEORGE HEISLER J 4 ' I R ly s 1 f - V bv Ln' LL . 1 P' f A': TALILAA I I 4, . 4 I , , , ' .

He is one of the most studious of the boys and never fails to come through with good marks. Al- -though he is very quiet in his manner, he enjoys the fun when the time and place permit it. He will be well remembered for his interesting translations of Malot's .immortal Sans Familleu, as well as the thrilling ro- mance of Captain Jean Renaud and the sweet Bettina. Here's boosting Pottstown's contribution! Life's best for Edward!

CHARLES JOSEPH HOFMANN GENERAL SACRED HEART Active, dependable, musical ' Need we introduce the business man of the class? He is jolly and boisterous and the most active member of the class in business concerns. His technique brings everything to a grand climax. He will probably be a successful business man some day and we all wish him the best of luck. With his musical genius for drums, the future need hold no fears for our Chevalier Charles, a knight, sans peur et sans reproche . His genial disposition is an asset, and it has been a boon to us. BERNARD JOSEPH HUCK COMMERCIAL ST. PETER Cheerful, generous, willingu ' A cheerful disposition, a sunny smile and a ride in his jitterbug Ford is right down Hucky's alley. He is one of the best commercial students, and one of the most popular boys in the class of 1940. A more cour- teous boy you couldn't meet. A pleasant hello, when- ever you meet him no matter where it may be, is char- acteristic of Bernie. His quiet manner is impressive, solemn and quietly humorous. Whatever Bernard se- lects for his future work, we know that his career will be crowned with success. WILLIAM FRANCIS KLEINE, JR. GENERAL sT. JOSEPH Virile, sincere, versatile ' Bill might be called the typical American boy of high school age, as he is quite proficient in athletics and scholastic subjects. Bill is always ready to lend a pal a helping hand, especially if it's a fair feminine bit of loveliness. He is an excellent dresser and makes a clean-cut cameo appearance. We believe that Bill has a future ahead of him in the field of Journalism. Op- portunity stares at you, Bill , challenge it. You are ibound to succeed. Oui.
