Bergevin, George F. “guy i” 13 Fairview Heights Holy Rosary School Whenever “Guy I” sees an airplane, he immediate¬ ly starts dreaming of those happy days, when he will soon soar above the clouds as a member of the Air Corps of Uncle Sam’s Na¬ val Forces. He has high ideas which we all hope he will realize in their fullest measure. Avoid the air- pockets, “Guy I”. Bircher, Clarence A. “guy ii” 1136 Dewey Avenue Sacred Heart School Both “Guy I” and “Guy II” will make splendid young pilots, and we think there will be a contest be¬ tween them to see who wins his wings first. “Guy II” is the type of fellow whom we all want for a friend, and we prophecy much success for him. May you zoom to fame, “Guy II”. Bishopp, Robert J. “bob” 49 Leland Road, Irond. Imm. Conception School There isn’t a fellow in the school who doesn’t know and like “Bob” for he always carries a cheery smile with him. He is a boy who works hard, and he wants to learn civil engi¬ neering. We are confident that “Bob” will succeed at this work, and we wish him the best of luck. So- long, “Bob.” Blonsky, Aloysius B. “toots” 14 Seneca Park Circle Sacred Heart School Here is a future chemist who will delve into matter and extricate unknown substances. “Toots” is a student who really enjoys chemistry. (This is a dis¬ tinction, for there aren’t many who care for this subject). He is well-liked at Aquinas and we predict a bright future for him. Vale, “Toots”. Blum, Herman J. “howie” 13 Herbert Street . Our Lady of Perpetual . Help School Howie seems to be a liv¬ ing contradiction of his philosophy. He holds the South in disdain although he possesses the most southern of southern drawls. He is a golfer of unknown qualities whom we hope to see blossom forth as a rival of Hagen. Stick to it, Howie; success is within your grasp. Borsa, Angelo L. “angelo” 20 Wait Street Mt. Carmel School We have here the hand¬ some butler who played his role so well in “Three Wise Fools.” “Angelo” has also played a fine part in our lives at Aquinas and we know he will not fail in his ambition to be a d o c t o r. Remember to count every stitch, “Angelo.” sixteen

Adams, John E. “JOHN” 64 Warner Street Holy Apostle’s School Although he is one of the leaders in scholarship in the class, John is, nev¬ ertheless, a modest chap and well-liked by his mates. He is a member of the St. Thomas Club and of the Literary Committee. John has a feeling that he will be an accountant. A great gain for that profes¬ sion, say we. Aman, Kenneth J. “kennie” 2553 Ridge Road, Irond. St. Salome’s School We like to see a fellow who puts his mind and heart on the work he does, and “Kennie” is just such a fellow. He is a trifle ad¬ dicted to shyness, but pierce the flimsy shell in which he hides, and you will find a real boy,—a fel¬ low whom you can really call a true friend. Good luck and God bless you, “Kennie.” Bader, Carl J. “CUTZ” 48 Bly Street St. Boniface’s School Who hasn’t heard of “Cutz”, the boy who al¬ ways wears a smile? He is a rather quiet type of fel¬ low who enjoys basketball. We suspect that he would prefer playing it to eating, and we think that he is a player, par excellence. May it be yours to put every shot through the basket of success, “Cutz.” Bailey, Walter A. “WALT” 1233 Portland Avenue St. Andrew’s School Here he is in person,— the drummer of the Aqui¬ nas band and orchestra. In spite of his size, “Walt” wields a wicked drumstick, and we don’t mean per¬ haps! We think that he aspires to play in a jazz orchestra, but we are not certain. Continue your beating, “Walt”, and you’ll lead them all some day. Barry, William S. “bill” 106 Minnesota Street St. John the Evangelist Picture this young man seated behind a highly pol¬ ished desk, and you will see him as he wants to be in the future. “Bill” plans to enter R. B. I. to study business administration, and we are sure that he will soon be a potent figure in Rochester’s business cir¬ cles. God-speed you, “Bill.” Behrndt, Carl N. “dutch” 14 Gladys Street St. Michael’s School “Dutch” is a well-known man on the Aquinas cam¬ pus. He is noted for his wit and good-nature, and espe¬ cially for the broad grin which he always wears. After leaving our dear Al¬ ma Mater, “Dutch” aspires to be a coach, and in this respect, we know he will be a great success. Au re- voir, “Dutch”. fifteen

( ' Bourgeois, Charles E. “CHARLIE” 99 Karnes Street St. John the Evangelist Charlie is a hard-hitting, sure-fielding first-sacker in baseball and a speedy, efficient basketball player. He is, also, a good student and a reliable companion, particularly of B e r n i e Hynes. There are numer¬ ous fields of endeavor in which we feel Charlie would succeed. Brunner, Maurice T. “moe” 73 Willis Avenue St. Aloysius School, Auburn, N. Y. “Moe” is excellent proof that “still waters run deep.” He is rather quiet, but we vote unanimously that he knows what he’s talking about. As a lawyer he will be able to use all of his big words, and we are confident of his success as a member of the Bar Association. We rest our case, “Moe”. Brydges, Leslie “les” 453 Averill Avenue St. Mary ' s School Five years from now, when we read the name of Leslie Brydges in the sport columns, we will remember the day he covered the 18 holes at Oak Hill in 100. Les is an average student and a witty man in his lighter moments. He claims that he will be a great lawyer, also. Butler, John “jack” 29 Milton Street St. Joseph’s College Princeton, N. J. Although Jack is a new¬ comer, he has won many friends at Aquinas who ad¬ mire his pleasant smile and his stalwart personality. Jack is a hard worker and the possessor of a real de¬ termination to succeed. With your ability and per¬ severance it will be a cinch, Jack. Cahill, Robert “bob” 17 Floverton Street St. Leo High School, Detroit Bob is generally known to the world as an usher of parts. He came to us from Detriot. He is an art¬ ist of more than ordinary ability, as this book at¬ tests, and a very disap¬ pointed man because of the fact that we have no track team here. Farewell, Bob. Callahan, Edward T. “ed” 520 Seneca Parkway Nazareth Hall Ed surely upholds the tradition of the Callahans in school. In fact, he has outdone some of them. He is always on the top in every form of scholarship, as well as in speaking, in dramatics and in popular¬ ity. Everything points to a glorious career for our Ed. seventeen
