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.

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.

EARLE FROMM— “FROMMY. 195 Campbell Street. Prepared SS. Peter and Paul’s. When Mr. Earle Fromm entered the R. C. H . S. for the first time he was a nice, bashful and quiet little boy, and thus little has been heard of him throughout his attendance at school. The only one who knows anything about him is himself. He says he is going to be a big business man and employ many stenographers, therefore stenographers who follow us will have a place to look for em- ployment. Earle, however, is liked by all his chums and they all wish him success after he has marched triumphantly out into the business world. ALDEN HOULIHAN— “MAGGIE. Bloss and Backus Streets. Prepared, Holy Rosary. Our artist and one of the best looking fellows of the Class of ' 17. He can take the part of a girl any time he wishes. He has exer- cised great influence for good upon us and has kept us from getting the blues. He is a promising fellow and we have no doubt but that he will do creditable work in the busi- ness world. WALTER KEMPF— “KEMPY. 88 Sherman Street. Prepared, Holy Apostles. The Student of his class. Let all who follow look up to him as a model of everything that is good and blameless. Possessed of indomi- table courage and stick-to-it-ive-ness he has carried off the palm of victory as an expert typist. When it comes to speed on the ma- chine, Walter leaves us all behind in the race. WILLIAM KNAPP— “MIDGET. 109 Randolph Street. Prepared, Holy Re- deemer. One of the most enterprising students of the Commercial Department of the R. C. H. S. is this bright young man known as “Midget” who is now training for a soldier — a real one, with khaki suit and leggings. We do not like to prophesy but we see his future clearly outlined — a wealthy and successful business man of Rochester.
