GEORGE LYNCH— “JUMPER.” 61 Bloss Street. Prepared, Cathedral. George always has an inexhaustible supply of words and their meaning on the end of his tongue. It has never been known that he ever failed when the meaning of a word was asked. He is of medium height and quick of manner and Old Sol seems to have favored him with his resemblance— only in miniature form. Ten years from now we hope to see “Jumper” as the head reporter on the lead- ing Rochester paper, The Early Riser.” JAMES MALONEY— “JIMMY.” Frank Street. Prepared, Cathedral. And whom have we here? None other than Mr. James Maloney who now holds a responsible position with an automobile concern. James has left us an example of what can be ac- complished by one who is willing to work hard. His happy disposition and keen wit have endeared him to all his companions. JOSEPH McKENNA— “MARVELOUS.” Canandaigua, N. Y. Prepared, St. Mary’s. An amiable and exceedingly charitable char- acter that never troubles trouble until trou- ble troubles him. Joe’s only failing is, that he, and his friend as well, are sometimes a trifle late for school. He is well li lr ed by his teachers and very popular among the stu- dents. We foresee a successful career in business for this industrious young man from Canandaigua. HOWARD REULBACH— AMBITIOUS.” 875 Clifford Avenue. Prepared, Holy Re- deemer. Howard has been such a quiet and unassuming student that we failed to perceive his talents during his first year at school. As a grad- uate he leaves us with honor for he has been developing rapidly those business qualifica- tions which make for success.

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.

LEO REYNOLDS— “TINY. Canandaigua, N. Y. Prepared, St. Mary ' s. Although quite a student is this Mr. Reynolds, he is considered to be the best all-round athlete in the school. Many times has he considered becoming a cartman but everyone thinks he will make a better stenographer after a few more years of patient struggle. I see in my mind’s eye a few years hence, Mr. Reynolds, the great Canandaigua Chief of Police or Chief Reynolds as he will then be called. LOUIS THOMY— “LEWY. 16 Maplewood Terrace. Prepared, Sacred Heart. Do you all know our Louis? If not, let us ac- quaint you with him and tell you that he has made a splendid record during his two-year course. Regular as clock work, he appeared every morning well prepared for the day ' s work. He rarely, if ever, fell below the set standard of 90 per cent, and in many sub- jects he scored 100 per cent, for two con- secutive years. His career in the future can be judged from his record in the past. LEO TROY— “DUKE.” 22 Myrtle Street. Prepared. Holy Apostles. It is impossible to be lonesome or downhearted while “Duke” is around for his sunny dis- position has ever been the life of his class- mates. Notwithstanding the fact that he aspires to be a bookkeeper in one of our large city banks and that at times he is sur- rounded by ledgers, cash books, etc., etc., still he is a veritable optimist and always takes upon himself the responsibility of cheering the depressed, by a word or song of encouragement. ALOYSIUS WELTZER— “ALLY. Rugby Avenue. Prepared, St. Peter and Paul’s. Herewith we present to you our esteemed fel- low student, Aloysius Weltzer, who left his friends on the Academic side to join the band of busy workers in the Commercial Depart- ment. He is a member of the bookkeeping class known as the “Lonesome Three” and aspires to be the head bookkeeper in one of our city banks. At the present time there is one thing that is troubling our friend Aloysius and that is his earnest desire to join the Marines, but up to the present time he has failed to get his father’s consent.
