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

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

143 f-mv -ia' wi-fi' WALSH, JOHN M. 165 Argo Park JACK Holy Rosary School If a problem is puzzling you, Jack is the lad who can clear up your difficulty. He has but one peer in the art of juggling figures and this is the teacher. When he is not too busy telling jokes, he applies himself to his studies. Leaving Aquinas with four years of math to his credit, we are confident that Jack will set the pace for future engineers. W1-Jlss, HAROLD A. 262 Mulberry Street WEIsEY St. Boniface School Behold! gentle reader, our bashful class- mate! Yet, when Weisey and George An- drews ride on the Lake Avenue car, the rest of us fellows have no chance at all. How can we hold this against him since we know that it is his perpetual smile which secures for him not alone the attention of the Nazareth maids but even a big share of our own. Harold is a splendid student and success is assured him whatever career he decides upon. The best of luck, Harold! WELCH, EDWARD J. 121 Lapham Street 1-ID. Sacred Heart School This is our Ed., a lad with real school spirit. Being rather timid and bashful, he lets others do the talking while he just listens. He enjoys all sorts of fun and will be found in the midst of any noisy senior group. His pleasing personality has secured him popularity among the faculty and the student body alike. Rumor has it that Ed. is an able football player and you will not doubt the fact once you have measured the breadth of his shoulders. The very best of luck to you, Ed! Remember it is the spirit that counts. WILLIAMS, JOHN F. 201 River Street JOHN Holy Cross School, Charlotte Another of these quiet geniuses is Red. Anyone who has seen John on the court will heartily agree with us that there is a lot of pep hidden behind this quiet exterior. John is inclined to cover up his scholastic ability, too, but he can't fool us now that we have discovered his ruses. Strive on, Red! Some day you will reach the heights of Olympus. of ei ev e- efaei fs 6mrfE:?!2' 30
