H Thomas J. Flood If the stand ruled, Tom would have been in every football game last fall. Tom is the tallest member of the Class and his place in the estimation of his classmates is second to none. Don’t forget your old friends at Aquinas, Tom. We all wish you success. Robert D. Fox Fox has a fine scho¬ lastic record. He is a basketball player of ability and an ardent supporter of intra-mur¬ al games. Bob is sure to make new friends but we know he will not forget those made in his Alma Mater. Joseph J. Fox Joe is the tall, lanky man of the Class, and as all tall men, he has a slow, comfortable slouch that is the envy of his classmates. He ambles to class and his wavy locks and cheery smile can be seen dis¬ appearing just before the four minutes are up. Notre Dame will get a prize in Joe. Elmer J. Frank To the deserving give glory. Elmer, the edi¬ tor-in-chief of this pub¬ lication, is an accom¬ plished mathematician and finished English student. He is sure to make a triumph of any¬ thing he attempts. Gerald J. Furino William D. Gasser Ralph M. Gaudio Jerry is a member of the cheerful class and believes in the old mot¬ to : W ork while you work and play while you play. Can a lad fail who is so wise ? Although he is quiet and unassuming, Bill’s popularity knows no limits. Somewhat of a banjo artist, a basket¬ ball player, and a par¬ taker of French a la Doyle, Bill has distin¬ guished himself as a true friend and a gen¬ tleman. Even the fac¬ ulty will miss Bill. We must add to our Don Quixote’s credit, that he has will-power enough to prevent his dreaming interfering with his studies . He is a quiet boy but he will never be forgotten by his classmates of ’32. Thomas J. Gilmartin Beneath a dignified air and an aristocratic lingo, Tom hides a heart of gold. Higher math may be the explanation of this sophisticated ex¬ terior. If in search of Tom, just locate Bob Fox. Tom will then be found within Bob ' s shadow. I nineteen

John B. Dunne John has smilingly made his way through his four years at Aqui¬ nas, disturbing no one and permitting no one to upset his calm and peaceful life. We are certain the members of the faculty wish there were more than one Dunne. His classmates do too. John L. Edelman The bar will gain a clever, witty and inter¬ esting member when Dutch wins his degree. His four years’ work at dramatics have placed another brilliant star in the gallery of Aquinas thespians. Cheerio, Dutch. John P. Englert John is one of those silent students, who is seen before he is heard. He is scholarly and pos¬ sesses a strong liking and a natural ability for mathematics. As scholar, mathematician and friend, John’s po¬ sition in the class of ’32 is undisputed. Frank J. Esse Frank wanted some¬ thing of which to be proud when he leaves Aquinas, and so he has applied himself dili¬ gently to mathematics. Engineering is calling him and his power of application assures his success. ' Arnold J. Fay Arnold plays the oboe, the saxophone and other reed instruments. His dignified bearing would seem a check to jazz but appearances are deceiving. Without Arnie, our orchestra would be a failure. Richard J. Fink Behold our only Vik¬ ing, big, broad, well- developed, topped off with nice light hair. His humor is as wide as his Wheatena-fed body and is as clear as the country air, he raves about. He is noted in Aquinas for his abun¬ dance of nick names but we call him Dick. Mark A. Finocchiaro Weighing close to 180 pounds, Mark is a hur¬ ricane on the gridiron. He smashes the line with killing force. Ever a joker, Mark keeps all around him in good spirits and he is as big of heart as of body. Wm. E. Fleckenstein Buss sports a little copper “5” on his fa¬ vorite blue sweater. We should like to know if it is an overdeveloped price tag but so far our curiosity has not been satisfied. In school Buss has proved a true and sincere friend to his classmates. gfgf 1 Q 3 X eighteen

Charles R. Hall This chubby senior never allows school du¬ ties to distrub his peace of mind. His favorite occupation is amusing his classmates and out¬ witting Robert Berl. In you we lose a good friend, Chuck. William B. Hanna For two years, Willie has kept such hardened profs as Mr. Hurley and Father Morgan on the jump. Manager of our basketball team, a devotee of the Cercle Foch and a member of the Saint Thomas’ Club is our little giant. Ride the rest of the world as we rode you “Willie”. Archibald D. Harris We present the edi¬ tor-in-chief of the Ma¬ roon and White. Archie has been valuable in all activities. Can we for¬ get his impersonation of a Frenchman in the Senior Play or his work for the 318 team ? Take only good copy, Archie. Roman F. Hart Here is the Class Sec¬ retary, Secretary-Treas¬ urer of the English Club and an athlete who has carried away with him more evidences of the fray than any other member of the Senior Class. Good-by, Romie ! Don’t let your duties rob you of a good time. Nicholas P. Girardi The trumpet calls and Nick has made it re¬ sound both in band and orchestra. He is Mr. Cummings’ finest trum¬ peter and one of which we are all proud. Not only a good student, but also a true friend, Nick is on the road to becom¬ ing a good musician and a fine scholar. Frank J. Gottry Frank’s personality and natural aptitude for acting have distin¬ guished him at Aqui¬ nas. He has been in¬ terested in everything pertaining to Aquinas and we are confident he will ever exemplify her training. Joseph D. Granata Were one to see Joe speeding along the streets of Rochester he might take him for a Chicago desperado ; but he is timid as a turtle dove. It will be a sad day for Aquinas when Joe’s coughing, puffing Ford rolls him into the big world outside. Richard A. Haitz In Dick, sunshine and humor reach their height. He reacts to everything having a color of wit. The school friends he has made will never forget his pleasant companionship. Farewell, Dick. twenty
