l Qeninr FRANCOIS RENE BIANE Ontario, California Age I7 Basketball 2, 3, 4. Football 4. Lariat Club 2, 3. 1 If anyone wants proof of the old adage 'fgood things come in small pack- ages we show him Rene. Though with us now a full three years Beanyi' seems hardly any taller than when he first came in. But size is no index of energy. On that score he leads most of the class by a good margin. He has done welllin sports, in the classroom, and is most at ease on a horse. His Gallic wit and personality have endeared him to the whole class. Others propose, Rene disposes. He is always game for a good idea. His eye is set on Vine culture in this country, and later on he hopes to pursue his inquiries in France. When he is ready to do business, heill surely have a potent brew. 4' 4' '5' Mere words coulal never quite express The way Rene fits in up here, lt's just as natural as can lie- Like lareaol and loutter-pretzels and beer.

Senior DENNY RICHARD BARNARD Ventura, California Age I7 Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. l Denny is not so tall, but size does not stand in the way of his being one of the more important members of the Class of '47. He is one of our day hops. We have been impressed with certain accomplishments acquired through the years by our good friend, Denny. In fact with almost bated breath we are awaiting some serious publications by him on various topics of value and interest to many, publications on such topics as Hitch-hiking Scientifically Explained. The Geography of the Ojai-Ventura Region. As a protege and foil for Father Garrett his services have been invaluable in the dissemination of elementary scientific knowledge. Besides being a good student, he is a baseball artist of renown. And of course we must not forget his skill with the ivories-on the key- board. Someday, if his turn of mind takes him to ranching, the family prefer- ence, we expect him to be the greatest rancher in the county. Our best wishes to Denny! 'z 'Z' 'I' In everything he does Cnr Denny puts his all- Hard work and claeerfnlness Vlfill keep friends at his call. E211

Senior DONALD PIALE BRIDGEHOUSE Van Nuys, California Age 1 6 The Prep Times 1, 2, 3, 4. The Villanovan 1, 2, 3, 4. Eucharistic League I, 2, 3. No list of sports appears after Denis name. VVere we to list his preferences in this regard, we should find a keener interest than meets the eye. His real expenditure of energy is given to books-not comic books. It is said of him that he does not indulge in violent sports, and we can believe this of him. But don't let this fool you. He is no mean adversary when it comes to debate on his political theories. His inquiring persistence is prodigious, and, judging from his grades, has paid off. He has been among the leaders in scholastic standing from the start. The quality and quantity of his work is best appreciated by pointing to the regular monthly issues of the Prep Times ol' which he has been editor the past year, and by reading the pages of this copy of the Villanovan. There is very little in this book in which he has not had a hand. May the whole-souled giving of himself, which has done so much for his Alma Mater, always redound to his credit and go with him through many happy years. '5' 'I' A good man in lzis studies, lflfitlz much scliool spirit, too, A good man to renzevnlaer well, His friendliness is true. E231
