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

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

atz jgjggV William G. Hassett Introducing the dis¬ tinguished and inimita¬ ble William Hassett. That his graduation leaves a wide gap in the Aquinas Dramatic Club, who will deny? We depend on your young brother to re¬ place you. Bill, and we know he will do his best. Orville L. Heidt Heidt is our brilliant, blonde athlete who starred for the Maroon and White on gridiron and court. He is a scholar for whom ex¬ aminations hold no dread. You will have no trouble getting your C. P. A., Orv. Leo J. Hofschneider Tall and stately, Leo led the Aquinas Band up Main Street while the onlookers stared and even sighed. He is Bill Hanna’s sparring partner and we often wonder if he could not take on some one near¬ er his size. Success to you, Leo ! James E. Hughes Jim was a member of the cafeteria staff dur¬ ing the greater part of his time at Aquinas. Here as elsewhere he was ever a gentleman and quite at ease look¬ ing after the comforts of other people. fm Nicholas Y. Iuppa Nick is our Class President and how proud we are to tell it! He avoids the limelight but when he does make an appearance we all sit at attention. The best we can wish be yours, Nick ! Joseph L. Izzo Apparently normal in every other respect, Joe exhibits a deep and con¬ sistent attention in class. We entertain not the slightest fear of his future, however, as his is a sterling character fit to cope with even the aforementioned ab¬ normality. Raymond E. Kauffman Ray believes in being optimistic and he works hard to bring about the things for which he is hoping. He expects to be practical and study agriculture at the free school out on the Buf¬ falo Road. George J. Knapp, Jr. George makes life worth living for all around him. His sunny disposition pierces the barricade of gloom while his attention and alertness distinguish him in the classroom and on the court. He and Howard Williams plan to be associate teachers some day. 3 twenty-one
