ALEXANDER BROWN— “CHUBBY.” 138 Murray Street. Prepared, Holy Apostles. The Senior member of the Seniors. No, don’t judge f rom this picture that he’s an arm of the faculty. The fact is “Chubby” is an ardent athlete and participates in all kinds of outdoor sport, baseball and football being his favorites. He was captain of last year ' s baseball team which won the first and only scholastic championship ever won by a Cathedral team. He was re-elected this year but owing to the fact that he wished to join the fighting forces of Uncle Sam he declined. WILLIAM CHRISTIAN— “WILLIE. 13 V6 Fenwick Street. Prepared, Immaculate Conception. A very nice boy indeed. One whom you would like to know. Not very good at athletics, but an accurate typist devoted to his books and never known to show the least reluct- ance for doing what he was told. His assid- uity will doubtless win him renown in the commercial world. CLEMENCE DERLETH— “COLDWATER” Lincoln Park. Prepared, Holy Ghost. Clemence, an illustrious son of the sod ! For the past two years from Cold water nas To pursue business work in the R. C. H. S. Will he get a position? Well, now I guess. ANTHONY DOBBERTIN— TONY. 86 Hamilton Street. Prepared, St. Boniface. A rare genius. Quiet and unobstrusive in manner is our quiet little “Tony.” He works and works. He says little but thinks a great deal. Nevertheless he manages a quiet lit- tle joke now and then to the amusement of his classmates. We expect great things from Anthony in the future.

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.

JOHN DONOGHUE— “SHORTY.” 23 Rainier Street. Prepared, SS. Peter and Paul’s. John Donoghue is the young amanuensis who will make the experienced stenographers look like novices. I foresee that with his large amount of grey matter, which must have been considerably condensed so as to store it all under his small head, he will become in later years a successful business man. Although not a soldier, John is of a pat- riotic temperament and has frequently ex- pressed the desire of having several feet added to his stature so that he might join the forces of Uncle Sam in the capacity of stenographer. ARTHUR ENNIS— “ART. 27 Wolfe Street. Prepared, Holy Apostles. A tall young man of dignified appearance, brimful of mischief but withal kind-hearted and sociable — qualities which have secured for him many friends. He didn’t always obtain 99 per cent. — but never mind, Arthur is in a good position where if he pays strict attention to business he will undoubtedly be a success. FRANCIS FEERICK— “FANNY.” 273 Elmdorf Avenue. Prepared, Immaculate Conception. Fate has foretold that this young man will be a court stenographer or — otherwise? He is by no means as timid as one would judge from his facial expression. He is small of st ature and possesses an unusually small head, significant of brains. He is capable of writing some of the most excellent phraseol- ogy, and has twice attempted literature. As I look forward I see him on the bench as the ruling judge of the United States Supreme Court. THOMAS FINUCANE— “TOMMY.” 69 Magne Street. Prepared, Cathedral. Our Tom has won the hearts of his companions by his amiable qualities of character, his generosity, and his readiness to take part in everything that tended to advance the in- terests of the school. He is not much of an athlete but he labored hard and earnestly to keep up with his class and now holds a re- sponsible position as a result.
