THE A It E T E GODF ' FRANK “Curly GAVIGAN, JAMES “Jimmie 7 Post Avenue St. Augustine's School Our Jimmie has won the hearts of his companions by his amiable qualities of character, his generosity and his readiness to take part in everything that tends to advance the interests of the school. He is very active in every line of athletics and labors hard to keep up with his class. Never morose and sad but always seeing the bright and humorous side of life are his chief charac-tistics. No doubt he will make a good business man. 239 Herald Street St. Stanislaus School Frank, a rather good-looking fellow, is regarded by his fellow students as a second Paavo Nurmi when it comes to shorthand and typewriting. He is quiet and is always absorbed in his studies and school work. He is well liked by his classmates and is the bosom pal of Skipper Schirmer. If good wishes come true, Frank will some day be one of the country’s leading lights. IRELAND, WILLIAM “Bill 116 York Street St. Augustine’s School Our friend is one of the best looking fellows in the class. He has exercised great influence for good upon us and always helped us in life’s darkest moments. He is a promising fellow and we have no doubt that he will do creditable work in the business world. KUEBFT. EDWARD “Cueball” Forest Lawn St. Salome’s School Cueball hails from the depths of the country. He is a finished product of the educational system of the school ft Sea Breeze. We are told by “Doomy” White that ” ashington Irving got his idea of Rip Van Winkle from the appealance and attitude of Cueball. He is, however, conscientious about his work and takes a deep interest in the Sketch Book. We all hope he makes a success of his work and life. twenty-two

COMMERCIAL CLASS 1 CASCHETTA,JOSEPH “Joe” 19 Riley Place Holy Apostles’ School Joe is the senior member of the class. He fulfils that capacity by giving to his classmates the best of example. Were all like Joe there would be but little trouble in the world. Joe is quiet, thoughtful and studious and the best liked fellow in the class. He is a lover of his fellow students and takes a keen interest in their successes or failures. His pleasing personality is sure to bring him success. Good-luck, Joe. CROWLEY, JOHN C. “Cornelius” 82 Cypress Street Immaculate Conception School John from his youth until he entered the Aquinas Institute was educated at Immaculate Conception. John has speed and accuracy in shorthand as well as on the typewriter but he becomes tired of school every so often and comes trooping in about five minutes late. When John grows up he will be one of the prominent men of his parish. John likes baseball as well as other sports but does not make a practice of them and generally thinks of his school work. We wish him success and happiness. DUPLACK. DANIEL E. “Danny” 28 Rauber Street St. Michael’s School A young, lively, amiable, intelligent, religious, as well as industrious, lad is Danny Duplack. He is always down to business or “down to brass tacks.” As his English is Al, Washington Irving will have a competitor whom he cannot surpass. Danny is a proof that it is not the genius but the hard worker who overcomes opposition and gains success. We are sure that in future years he will be one of the outstanding personages in the business world. twenty-one

THE ARETE SCHEUERMAN,BERNARD “Red 38 Teralta Place St. Michael’s School Here we have a cheerful, intelligent and industrious redhead. Every morning he has on hand a series of jokes which he relates to his interested audience. Although Red claims he does little night-work, he always has his work done. We have to admit that he is a genius, which adds greatly to his ability in his work. He is the champion of the class in typewriting and shorthand and has all the qualities of a business man. So, go ahead. Red. SCHIRMER, JOSEPH R. “Skipper 210 Bernard Street St. Michael’s School “Skipper” is the Isaac Walton of the class. When “Skipper” isn’t fishing he is writing a composition or essay on fishing or a fishing trip. We do not see how “Skipper,” who is only a half-pint, can haul a fish out of the water. However, he is very industrious and makes up for his smallness by his activity. While his employer may have to purchase a high-chair for “Skipper” we are confident that his good nature and pluck will make him successful in whatever he undertakes. WEBER, FRANK “Dago WHITE, THOMAS G. “Dootng” 139 Avenue C St. Michael’s School Dago is industrious and has won many a friend by his friendliness and his cheerful disposition. He is always ready to participate in any sport at any time. Although he does not always get 95% in all his studies, we are sure he has before him a very promising career in the business world. Besides, he is a great participant in the bowling games and his manly form presents a great future for him in the eyes of his fellow students. 51 Mill Street St. Michael's School A glance at White would give us an idea of a small, thin person. Yes, right you are. But in spite of his lack of physical development he is ambitious, self-confident and energetic. He may be seen running out of the class-room with someone on his heels. His favorite occupation when not studying is pulling ties. Not so good in shorthand, is Mr. White, but above criticism in English. We wish him luck and a happy and prosperous future. twenty-three
