GUNN, WALTER R. 101 Delmar Street BUD Holy Apostles' School Bud has a clever knack of dodging reci- tations which he tells us comes to him naturally. Rumor has it that Mr. Ryan tried to catch him napping in American history but, to his surprise, Bud turned the tables. and made a class record by a perfect recitation. Despite his stature Bud is a staunch supporter of all sports and roots for the team at every game. Great oaks from little acorns grow. HAFFEY, JAMES E. 610 Grand Avenue JIM Inzm,ac'ulate Conception School You are gazing upon the picture of the handsomest member of the Class of '28. This, coupled with his athletic prowess, makes Jim a very popular youth, and lucky is the -boy who claims him for his friend. Jim is very modest and the honors heaped on him have not hurt him a bit. If his work in school is an indication of his future, we have no doubt as to his success. HARGROVE, FRANCIS H. 25 Glasgow Street HARDY Immaculate Conception School As head of the Art Committee, Frank is responsible for the good work in this book. He has been drawing his way into popu- larity all through his scholastic career. He furnishes us with suitable drawings when- ever the occasion calls for them. Frank is ever on the alert to aid a classmate in dis- tress and this, joined to an unusual refine- ment of character, makes him a real acqui- sition to the class of '28. HART, ELWOOD J. F1-ankland Drive OZ Sacred Heart School In Elwood, the class possesses the ex- emplification of the true gentleman, the able business man, and the earnest student. By his diplomacy and persuasive powers Oz secured the respect and patronage of the advertising men throughout the city and the senior class takes this occasion to thank him for the way in which he con- ducted the Arete advertising campaign. Oz will go far in any line he attempts, and we watch with interest and confidence his progress. U91

GO0DWIN,JOHN B. 277 West Elm Street, JOHN East Rochester Public School Every morning John may be seen sliding over the miles between the secluded town of East Rochester and our own fair city, behind the wheel of a Nash-can. At home this industrious young businessman spends much of his time inducing the denizens to patronize these noble road demons and at school he spends all of his spare moments convincing others of their worth. If the fellows only had enough jack, all the seniors would be driving Nash cars. Stick to it, John, and soon you'll turn the whole world Nashie. GRATTAN,JOI-IN P. 177 Alameda Street JACK Sacred Heart School Gaze upon the shining light of the Eccle- siastical history class! John's prolonged at- tack of sleeping sickness has proved a con- stant worry to our principal. Nevertheless, the lad means well. He is a spirited backer of all school activities and, whenever the occasion demands, lends a whole-hearted support. Jack's experience as a drug clerk and his love of chemistry have determined his career. We soon shall read his name among those of our pharmacist patrons in the Arete's advertising section. GRIFFIN, J oHN J. 59 Cameron Street JACK Holy Apostles' School Griffin is one of those quiet and modest boys, seen but not heard. This does not lessen his popularity nor lower his scholar- ship. He is a basketball star of no mean ability and as for baseball, we refer you to the A. I. R. team of which he is a member. We congratulate the R. B. I. on its prospec- tive pupil and venture to predict big things for our southpaw. GULLEN, MARTIN T. 104 Seward Street MART Immaculate Conception School We here introduce Mart, the distin- guished connisseur of antique automobiles. It is rumored that his dashing appearance behind the wheel of a pre-war Ford has broken many a fair heart. Aside from this, Mart is a true friend with a ready smile and a word of encouragement for all. We are certain that he will be as successful in gaining recognition in the world as he has been in entrenching himself in our hearts. g 0 'N 9' U81 WG..

HICKEY, JOHN E. 7 Woodside Street NAT Sacred Heart School One of seventy-five or eighty unknown quantities, known collectively as the Class of 1928, Jawn strolled into the old An- nex in the fall of 1924. His ability to speak on all topics: sports, politics, or literature, without being in the least superficial, has always made him interesting company in any group. John's big shortcoming is bas- ketball, in which sport he is a participant -par excellence. His generosity, good-fel- lowship, and loyalty have gained a legion of admirers for him, whose high regard and well wishes he carries with him into the Great Outside. HAWKINS, HAROLD J. 310 Seward Street HAWK Immaculate Conception School Harold is a firm adherent of Julius Cae- sar's motto, I should rather be first in a little Iberian village than second in 'Rome,l and so, as all the other oliices were taken, Hawk decided to be the sphinx of our class. In manner he is retiringg in recita- tion, inaudibleg in conversation, subdued. But great men were never noted for tu- multuous ways and so we can look to Harold to follow in their tracks. Here's wishing you success, Hawk. IACOBELLI, PETER H. 44 Lyell Avenue IACO St. A'ntho'ny's School Tiny, handsome, daring and likeable, that's Peter. When we need anyone to carry a John Barrymore or John Gilbert role on a small scale we know where to look. What Peter lacks in size he makes up in wit and disposition. No one can phase him by any sort of question. He always has a witty answer even if he doesn't know what it's all about. He even knows why a sheik crosses the street. Keep up the witty work, Pete, and some day your name will be seen on Broadway! JONES,WILLIAM J. 126 Alameda Street BILL Nazareth Hall This is not the Bill Jones of poster philosophy, although he is responsible for many terse bits of wisdom. Bill has the Freshmen hanging on his words when he begins to elucidate. Among his other claims to fame is the fact that he did double duty on the Basketball Team during the season. He played on the Reserves, and then helped the Varsity win a few. His scholastic hob- bies are Math lfour years of itll chemistry and French. When you meet the elements of life and they are a bit difficult, Bill, just buck them, and Hom soit qui mal y pensc! E201
