The enthusiasm and quiet determination with which he undertook every task made him a valuable member of our basketball team for two years, track team for one year, and football manager for two years. However, it was a disarming smile and the thoroughly honest desire to make friends that con¬ tributed to the versatile student of many interests that was Dave Leveille, a member of the Boys’ Glee Club and History Club. This was our own inimitable Dave, every inch of his smile, every spark in his personality.

GEORGE THOMAS LeBLANC Jeorge” His ways are winning and full of wit.” Our class comedian, Jeorge,” was almost always seen with a smile on his face and a little twinkle in his eyes.
