Callahan, Robert L. “bob” 189 Conkey Avenue St. Bridget’s School Here is Mr. Furlong’s delight and the delight of many who know Bob and his pleasing personality. Bob is quite some basket¬ ball player, playing a stel¬ lar role in many of the De- Sotos games. Then, too, he was one of the big guns in the Intramural Tourna¬ ment. Aside from being a scholar and an athlete, he is a gentleman in no small degree. In years to come we shall be proud of Bob’s acquaintance. Carpenter, Lawrence E. “larry” 135 Hobart Street St. Augustine’s School A big, bro ad-shouldered, strong-voiced he-man is Larry. He plows through his books just as he plows through the opposing foot¬ ball team or through a crowd in the corridor. He is witty, too, and is fre¬ quently rash enough to try to outwit Bernard Hen¬ nessey. Carroll, James “jim” 83 River Street Holy Cross School Jim is slim and has a soft voice but on the dia¬ mond he is a crack south¬ paw pitcher. He has a win¬ ning way when off the dia¬ mond, also. Indeed, he is the life of many a class or conversation. So long, Jim, and may you mow down all future opposition in your characteristic way. Clair, Lawrence E. “lawrie” 21 Lark Street Nazareth Hall Overflowing with genu¬ ine joviality, Lawrie fre¬ quently turns a rather dull conversation into a riot of chuckles. He has ability as a student and as an athlete and will next year be grac¬ ing the campus of some fa¬ mous college. Nevertheless, he will still be our Lawrie. Cocuzzi, Frank A. “cuz” 140 Orange Street Jefferson Junior High We introduce the Chair¬ man of our Senior Gift Committee. Frank’s work in this capacity is a testi¬ monial to the Fire and Iron which make him a valuable member of any Senior class. His ready wit and outspoken manner, have left an indelible im¬ pression on his admirers. Happy days, Frank. Colvin, Urban “urbie” 51 Edinburgh Street Immaculate Con. School Here is Friend Urbie, the boy who can make reci¬ tations in Chemistry. (It is a novelty for any man). Usually quiet in school, Urb’s activities outside have gained him some re¬ nown. According to report, Urbie is the cause of many flutters of fair feminine hearts. eighteen

( ' 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

COMERFORD, J. GARRETT “GARY” 215 Magee Avenue Nazareth Hall “Gary’s” nonchalance and calm dignity are the envy of the senior class. However, this dignity is a cloak that hides a dry hu¬ mor which has brightened many days. Any member of Father Mallon’s French II class can vouch for “Gary’s” wit. The bar will lose a good man if Gary refuses to join the ranks. Cory, William “bill” 78 Aurora Street St. Andrew’s School Gaze with awe on “Pro¬ fessor Cory”; let not your heart be softened by the curl in his hair. Bill is the discoverer of the famous “habeas corpus’ ' germ of wide fame. His classmates were astonished by the knowledge that Bill was anything but a rival of Mathewson, as his pitching has proved. Costello, John William “johnny” 1 Nursery Street St. John, the Evangelist “Johnny’s” dancing feet and crooning voice have put him on a plain by him¬ self and we warn Rudy Vallee to look to his lau¬ rels. We all hope to see “Johnny’s” name on the Great White Way, some day. The proof of his ath¬ letic abilities lies in his record in the homeroom basketball tournament. Dennis, Harold “denny” 143 Rand Street Sacred Heart School Meet“Denny,” our writ¬ er, debator, and athlete. In truth, he is the complete man. “Denny” is well de¬ serving of our praise for his service on our basket¬ ball team. “Denny’s” great¬ est claim to fame lies in his ability to wield a pen and he bids fair to challenge William Shakespeare at his own game. De Sando, Carl James “duke” 28 Parkdale Terrace Sacred Heart School “Duke” is our violinist of genius who led the Aquinas orchestra on its foreign expeditions. Four years with the bow have made “Duke” a valuable addition to our orchestra. Music is not his ambition, however, for “Duke” plans to wield a surgeon’s knife. Success, Doc. Di Fiore, Foster J. “daffy” 230 Titus Avenue Mt. Carmel School “Daffy” is our ideal of the Master of the Arts. Thespian, musician and business man, Foster has a worthy right to the name. Who can forget “Daffy” in the role of po¬ liceman in our own Senior play? Keep us in mind when you reach success, “Daffy”. Maybe, you can hire Borsa as a promoter. nineteen
