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.

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.

Commercial Department ARTHUR ABEL— “ART.” West Henrietta. Prepared, Immaculate Con- ception. Art is a promising young man who expects to be the president of a typewriter corporation some day. By the way he pounds the keys, anyone can tell that he and his machine were made for each other. Still, he is always ready to join in a bit of fun. ROBERT ABEL— “ROB.” West Henrietta. Prepared, Immaculate Con- ception. “Rob” also has some very high expectations. His latest motion is to revise the Pitman system of shorthand and with his brother, “Art,” have a shorthand system all their own. However, he is the type of man, of whom his Alma Mater can be proud. SYLVESTER AM AN— “INDUSTRIOUS.” 800 Hudson Avenue. Prepared, Holy Re- deemer. Sylvester Aman, another noted pupil of the R. C. H. S., is one who deserves praise for his sterling qualities. Sylvester is quite popu- lar among his school mates, and whenever a new joke is heard around the school you may be sure he is the one who has had something to do with its origin. Although once in a while he likes to talk groceries, we do not consider that a bad fault. In ten or fifteen years from now, if we see a tall, stately busi- ness man conducting a wholesale grocery and look closely at him, we will recognize in him one of our old comrades of the R. C. H. S. HAROLD BIECK — “BIECKY.” 367 Electric Avenue. Prepared Cathedral Mr. Harold Bieck first entered the R. C. H. S. in September, 1915. During his first year he did most excellent work. He passed the June examinations with a very creditable per cent. By his amiable disposition and good humor he won many friends. Because of his good work during his second year where he was always faithful, energetic, and reliable, he has won the respect of his class-mates. We predict great things for Harold in the fu- ture.
