it 19 QQ i 'Q Q 9 G W NORTON, FRANCIS A. 230 West Elm St., East Rochester FRAN East Rochester Public School East Rochester's gift to Aquinas--and what a gift! If East Rochester la group of houses clustered about a general store and post-ofiicej can be judged by our Fran- cis, Rochester has a keen rival so far as pep is concerned. Our country cousin has a part in just about everything that takes place in the school. Moreover, he is Father Brien's chief aide in the American History class. Aside from his numerous activities, Francis is the official organ for the release of all new jokes. It is almost impossible for anyone to endeavor to tell him a new joke. He is always one jump ahead. Launching out into life with this pep and sense of hu- mor, Frank cannot but succeed. O'BRIEN, EMMET, N. 437 Selye Terrace EMMET Holy Rosary School I weep for Adonais .... Whenever you hear that phrase within the school you know that Emmet is around. During class he can think up more questions, arguments and jokes than any other student under normal conditions.-Ask Father Grady. Nevertheless his fine scholastic record proves that he does not spend his time ex- clusively on humorous remarks and ideas. A fellow who can smile himself to suc- ess -that's Emmet. PENNY, FRANCIS H. 63 Bronson Avenue FRANK Nazareth Hall Here is Frank, a young Lochinvar, born far out in the Corn Country. Frank's strong point is fiivver, but it is said that his hankering to choose Rolls Royces has gradually given way to a zeal to pursue the even more elusive ions and chromo- somes with the ultimate purpose of laying low the cohorts of bacilli and all their brothers and cousins. Keep the old spirit, Frank, and the Demons of disease will find in you another Pasteur and a formidable enemy. PERO, CHESTER A. 27 Rialto Street PETE Om' Lady of Perpetual Help School Lo! the ideal senior! He is both unas- suming and dignified. Around the school, Pete is quiet, especially in English class. Outside, he assumes that easy-going, care- free mood which has made him a favorite with us all. Interested in all sports, Pete can hold his own in any of them. He is at his best in the bowling alleys, where he endeavors to imitate the immortal Jimmy Smith. Go to it, Pete! i r' M., R, A 0'-ix QV . W A r . Q a 279' E251 'Q iii.

s6'Q-00'-1.9 MEYERING, DONALD E. 35 Juniper Street DON St. John's School Don is a past master of syncopation. More than once has his execution on the piano in the auditorium held an uninvited audience spellbound. And they tell us that he is even better at the banjo! His disposi- tion is as fine as his music. Now you know why Don is such a popular fellow. Full of pep every minute of the day, Don will forge i1Jhea'd if any one can. Say it with music, on. MxL1.1-za, FRANK A. 95 S. Washington Street HFRANKU Immaculate Conception. School Frank is an accomplished musician who blows a trumpet in our renowned orches- tra. Nor do we hold this against him since he contributes a great deal to the success of this organization. He also exerts a good iniiuence over the student body, especially over the seniors. Not a neater or more trim high school student can be found. Hcfw the members of the fair sex whom he escorted to seats at the basketball games must have marveled at Frank's appearance! Miller has backed up our every undertaking and we hope to meet him again. MXLLER, Hownan A. 87 S.Washington Street HOWIE Immaczllate Conception School Introducing our basket-ball manager! Did any team ever have a more handsome or more capable manager than Howie? We think not. The only thing we ever held against him is the fact that he played the French horn in the orchestra. Why a man of Mr. Miller's ability would limit his ef- forts musically to a French horn is beyond our comprehension. However, in lieu of all his other noteworthy achievements, we feel that we are justified in forgiving him. MURPHY, RICHARD 267 Brunswick Street DICK Blessed Sacrament School Dick is one of the few members of our class who disavow all attraction for the fair sex. This alone is proof of his settled mode of life. Believe it or not, Murphy has attained success in his school work. He is an accomplished athlete whose perform- ances on the gridiron and in the hockey pen have won him renown in the sports column. Success, Dick, and may your glory increase! . j 1,f ,ON 03' 4' QQ Q l241 L. , ,

,M 1,1 r :ff PORRECA, Jossru 94 Colgate Street Jos St. Aug-ustine's School Joe is the latest addition to our number. We are just becoming acquainted but, if we may judge by first impressions, we shall all be glad he joined our class. Joe seems convinced that it is always best to wait and speak only when spoken to. We think he is a true type of dignified senior and wonder will the dignity wear away when we are better acquainted. We wish you suc- cess, Joe! PowsRs,Jos1:PH E. 154 Selye Terrace JOE Carthage Public School Joe is the proud possessor of the deepest base voice in the school. When his Stentor- ian shout of hash rings out in the cafe- teria there is a pronounced agitation be- hind the sandwich trays. Coupled with ex- ceptional erudition for his years, this should make Joe an ideal pedagogue. We hope to hear your voice again, Joe. More Powers to you. QUIGLEY, D. BERNARD 130 Jefferson Avenue HBERNIEU Immaculate Conception School There is an old saying that wise men listen while fools talk. According to this, Bernie may prove a Solomon in our midst. Do not think that he never converses with his classmates. We always know when he is around and we feel that his presence as- sures us of his support. No senior is more anxious to make all class activities a cred- it. Keep on listening, Bernieg by your si- lence you have taught us an invaluable lesson. RITZENTHALER, ROBERT A. 692 Maple Street URITZU Holy Family School The four years which Bob has spent at Aquinas have not been wasted years. He is literally bubbling over with ambition and it is an unheard of thing for him to come to school with lessons unprepared. Bob has proved a life-saver to many of us seniors by his willingness to share with us the in- formation which he acquired by burning the midnight oil. Good luck, Bob, and do not rest until you have climbed to the top of the ladder of fame. oi 6 .
