ROBERT R. DONAHOE This year St. Thomas loses by graduation some of the great- est athletes in the history of S.T.M.A. athletic competition. One of these is Bob. His blinding speed and flashing legs on the gridiron, on the hardwood court, and on the track will long be remembered. Bob is popular with the students and faculty alike. He has not neglected his studies for sports, and although he is not at the top, he is well up in his classes. He will become a famous doctor, if we may forecast his future.

Joe’s earnest and perseverant application to his studies has won for him a rank in his class that such persistent and dogged determination deserves. In addition to his scholastic activities, his efforts along the military line have rewarded him with the rank of corporal. In spite of these numerous interests, Joe has also found time to skipper his job as man- ager of the baseball team. We know that Joe’s stick-to-it-ive- ness” will win him great success.
