JOHN M. GROVE Athletics has been John’s outstanding activity during his stay at the Academy.

HANCE Although Dick has been with us for only two short years, he has shown us a true St. Thomas spirit in all student activ- ities. He was elected president of the Tri K Club, cadet camera club, because of his popularity and knowledge of photography.

ROGER A. FAZENDIN The quiet and unassuming attitude which is so characteristic of Roger gained him many friends among the students and faculty. Sgt. Housh made the find of 1937 when he dis- covered Faz” for the rifle team, and since that time he has lived up to his reputation in the art of pinwheel” making.
