0663 Q' S0690 SEABRY, HAROLD L. 117 Argo Park HI Holy Rosary School I-Ii holds that traditional, dignified senior in disdain. He has never been known to be quiet for even a minute at a time. Jovial, quickwitted, and impulsive, he is liked by all the boys, who eagerly seek his companionship as a cure for all scholastic ills. Despite his indifferent attitude toward studies, Hi manages to pass all exami- nations with a good record. In the future, we hope he will make 'em sit up and take notice as he does now. SIMS, HAROLD K. 543 Lexington Avenue HARRY . Holy Rosary School Friends, don't judge Harry by his name. He is not responsible for it and, if the class of '28 has one regular fellow in its num- ber, it is Sims. Mr. Hurley's right hand man compares favorably with Aeneas in many respects. Besides, our blond hero plays baseball. Oh, yesg in this respect he surpasses the Trojan warrior. Aquinas has had many good pitchers but certainly no one of them has been more popular than our Harry. SOMMIIRS, RAYMOND L. 28 Finch Street RAY Holy Rosary School Students like Ray set the example for 'others to follow. In his classes, he is well toward the top as the result of burning the midnight oil while we are hitting the hay. Ray proves a drawing card at the baseball games, which is evidence that his genius is not all directed along scholastic lines. Words are too weak to express our good wishes for this capable member of our busi- ness committee so we content ourselves with, Good luck, Ray! STEINWACHS, ALDEN G . 737 Arnett Blvd. AL ' St. Augustine's School What's in a name? This is our Alden, the Great! We could not get along without him, his genial smile and sunny disposi- tion. A1 is the high kicker of the class and it is rumored that he buys his luncheon with the forfeits which the Freshmen fur- nish when he outdoes them in this sport. His size is their misfortune. One can .not always judge by appearance. Keeplgolng, Aldeng we look to you for great things ln the years to come. X? j on or , Qc, 11' I Zggjdcxa. 1

owl rw it we 'liilililliieltft' '-iwlllil Witt ROCK, HAROLD F. 400 Durnan Street ROCK Saint A7IdP'61U'S School Harold has been one of the big men around the school for the past four years, physically and mentally. As his noble brow suggests, he is a veritable storehouse of knowledge and within him the spring of mirth and wit are ever bubbling. Surely is Rock a dispeller of gloom. With much re- luctance we say good-bv, Harold, for we all realize we are parting with a jovial companion and a true friend. RODMAN, JOHN P. Sliutt Road, Brighton, N. Y. JOHN St. B0'7llfflI'G School A visitor recently inquired who was the handsome chap standing in the corridor. We assured him that there are many hand- some chaps in the school but when he ex- plained, I refer to the youth with the inimitable smile, we all knew he meant Rodman. John is one of the most capable members of our class, a willing worker, a fiend with a typewriter. He started out as a commercial student and is now con- cluding his academic work. Needless to say, he has been a success at both. John is the type of student that Aquinas is proud to have on her graduate roll. SCHNEPP, EMMET1' J. 325 Lake View Pk. EMMETT Holy Rosary School Student extraordinary! gentleman and pianist! This is Emmett epitomized. He burns not the midnight oilg he needs it not. He has an uncanny outlook on life which should greatly attribute to his success. If Emmett's class marks are a criterion of his life work, within forty years we should hear of Chief Justice Schneppf' To us he will always be Emmett. SCHWARTZ, ARTHUR W. 2859 St. Paul Blvd. UARTH St. Fl'fl'7lC1'S XcL'vie1 s School Though Father Grady does not appre- ciate the fact, in Art we have a famous English student. Another point in his favor is that he has not once been absent from Lenten Mass. Art is very modest and con- servative and many times he has saved the day for us by his level headed way of sizing up a situation. When we part, we shall miss your friendly helpfulness, Art.

STEWART, WILLIAM H. 11 Harrison Ave. BILL Sacred Heart School What type of fellow is Bill? He is quiet and somewhat serious minded, good na- tured, and an excellent friend. Someone said that he must be a bit Scotch as he was seen to pick up a stray piece of coal and put it into his pocket, but we know that he was bringing it home to analyze it in his private laboratory. Yesg Bill is a chemist. Let us hope that he will be as successful in all his undertakings as he has been thus far-even to the analyzing of a black diamond. STRAUB, JOSEPH J. 24 Falstaif Road JOE St. Joscph's School Joe is one of those bright, precocious youths who are the terrors of every class to which they belong. They keep their teacher as well as their classmates forever on the qui vive. He is also the pet of our Reverend Prefect of Discipline, who is wondering who will take his place next year as a living questionnaire. The intricacies of math have no fears for Joe and as for type- writing, he claims it is only a matter of pounding away until you master it. Some day Joe will arrive with a bang heard around the world. TRUISI, FRANK J. 299 N. Union Street TOO-EASY Mt. Carmel School Next to the study of Latin, Frank's fa- vorite pastime is writing poetry. Nature may not present to him the inspiration which it furnished Wordsworthg beauty may not appeal to him as it did to Lord Byrong but Frank manages to produce some awe-inspiring lines. His poem con- cerning a Cicero trot which he wrote for our scholastic betterment some years ago is still of verdant memory. Stick to your pen, Frank, for Byron terms it- The mighty instrument of little men. VALERIO, PAUL F. 161 Shelter Street HDELH St. Mo1Lica's School Sometimes Del is caught with a book under his arm but this is for the purpose of misleading his teachers into the belief that he studies. In season, he may be found on the gridiron, the tennis court, and the skating rink. He secures a passing mark in all exams as no one has yet proved capable of deciphering his hieroglyphics and the teachers prefer to sin on the side of leni- ency in such a case. Del plans to follow up chemistry, in which he will make the teachings of Pasteur and Lavoisier appear as childish prattle. , r' ri an an rea rw New will i291 or
