FREDERICK RAMPE— “FREDDY.” 9 Almira Street. Prepared, St. Bridget ' s. Cheer Leader (4). Do you see that humorous twinkle in his eyes? Freddy and Irvin Cobb are built along the same lines. Yes, physi- cally, too. He is the concoctor of “S. H. I.” otherwise known as “Sherlock Holmes Index” and many witticisms that have appeared in The Student without signatures. KEIRAN RIGNEY— “RIG.” West Bloomfield, N. Y. Prepared, West Bloom- field. Although a new member of our class, “Rig” has proved himself to be a good fellow. He is perhaps a little too quiet when placed be- side his more vociferous classmates. “Silence is golden” and when he speaks he says a mouthful. LEO F. ROMBAUT— RUMMY. 250 Birr Street. Prepared, Holy Rosary. Manager Basketball Team (5), Asst. Manager (4). “Rummy” is the soul of optimism and cheerfulness. You will never find him hav- ing a fit of blues no matter what happens. Moreover he is very generous and takes part in all activities. M. JOSEPH TIERNEY— “SQUEAK.” 227 Hayward Avenue. Prepared, Corpus Christi. Student Board, Senior Annual Board, Debate (3-4), Class Oration. Mr. Daniel Webster began compiling and editing his dictionary of the English language long before “Squeak” came into the world, so there are no words to describe sufficiently the genius of this fair-haired Apollo. “S. H. I.” states: He once talked French with two Frenchmen and hasn’t been right since. He also has the habit of playing “The Lyell Ave. Chimes” when Gottry is absent. An excellent third- degree man in every class.

JOSEPH A. MARCHESE— “JOE. 71 Hobart Street. Prepared, St. Augustine’s. A diminutive but husky young chap who spends most of his vacant periods in eating candy and walking about. He knows how to handle the gloves, so take our advice and watch your step. John a. McCarthy— “mac. GO Saratoga Avenue. Prepared, Cathedral. Senior Annual Board, Class Vice-President, Chairman of Debate (4). The activities, named above, which are, it must be 3aid, but a very small percentage of his labors for the public good — show that he has the interests of the school at heart. “S. H. I.” refers to him as a noted dealer in erstwhile junk (class pins) and old books (souvenir). LEO NAUGHTON— “SERIOUS.” 279 Garso ' n Avenue. Prepared, Corpus Christi. Assistant Manager Basketball Team (4). Leo is a pugilistic little lad with a serious mien and a good nature. “S. H. I.” note: Mani- katcheur of marble team when other man- agers are on a vacation. Explainer of time tables, schedules, etc. Chairman of National Cheese Committee to increase the importa- tion of Swiss Cheese made in New Jersey, U. S. A. EUGENE O’NEIL— “EUGENICS.” 124 Asbury Street. Prepared, Blessed Sacra- ment. “Variety is the spice of life.” This is Eugenics motto and he carries it out to the letter. A look at his gay-colored haberdashery and classic haircuts which differ almost daily will convince you. “S. H. I.” quotes Prof. O’Neil as stating, “There is knot holes and not holes.”

JOHN A. TEMMERMAN— “TIMMY.” 15 Cayuga Street. Prepared. St. Boniface. “Timmy” is a care-free, happy-go-lucky, “devil-may-care” sort of a chap who gets the knowledge that comes his way and lets the rest go past. His mind is always active and on the alert to pun on words and comment on them. But for all this, it is surprising he has absorbed so much book knowledge with so little work. GEORGE A. STURLA— “WOOF.” 48 Ward Street. Prepared, Our Lady of Vic- tory. Student Board, Senior Annual Board, Chair- man of Debate (4), Class Historian. A liter- ary spotlight of the Senior Classa nd a future great fictionist. George ' s versatile pen has always contributed in great measure to our Student both in fiction and fact. His crea- tive brain has produced some extraordinary and startling stories with plots unique. His is the ability which cannot be “hidden under a bushel.” JOSEPH TRENKLER— “JOEY.” Sea Breeze, N. Y. Prepared, Immaculate Con- ception. Notwithstanding the fact that “Joey” is a com- mute, he is very punctual and can always be found in his habitat in the fifth row when the 8:45 bell rings. His is a character which is hard to fathom but perhaps that is because he says so little.
