Bergevin Dan In all our years of pleasant association with Dan. we have envied his never failing readiness to smile. Even those problems in mathematics couldn’t draw a frown. Keep that even disposition, Dan, and success is in your grasp. We are sorry to think that we must say good-by. Edward J. Bilecki Kd Ed’s ability as a hand-ball player has been well demonstrated in those noon games on the first floor, south corridor. An able student and a prominent member of the German Club is Ed. To him. we say, not good-by. but Auf Weidersehen. Our best wishes follow. Joseph J. Bishop Joe Joe is one of the care-free members of our'class who always looks at the bright side of things.

But we can't hold thase things against him. Good luck. Jim. Walter J. Ailing Walt” Introducing the second half of the musical brothers. Walt is a true friend and a good sportsman. He plays baritone in the band, and his four years with the bow in Lht orchestra have made him a valuable addition. Besides he has qualities which will win him respect in the outer w»rld, as they have in Aquinas. Keep going Walt, the sky is the limit. Willard H. Amann Romps Romps is an ardent devotee of aviation and is quite an authority on the subject. Ask hits if any of his models fly. He is well liked and we all know that he will be a success in his chosen field. Luck, Romps. Alexander J. Andrews ••Alex His keen wit has made Alex many friends both at Aquinas and in the AljoClub. He is a past master when it comes to playing basketball and he also proved to be a hard man to block in football. It is going to be just as difficult a matter to block you in after life. Alex. Cyril H. Barker “CV’ What is that saying about —Honor to whom honor is due?—Cy certainly deserves great honor. He is a good-natured. friendly and industrious chap. Math and science are his delights. Those squeaks which are heard at 3:20 are only the efforts of another Aquinas musician. Keep up the good work Cy. Success is yours. Robert G.

 Joseph A. Bottiglier Joe” Although of quiet disposition Joe at time can get rather lively and full of pranks as his pals in Mr. Martin's history class can testify. We hope your sense of humor will continue as a gloom-chaser when you leave Aquinas. Joe. We all wish you a successful future. Frederick G. Blum “Freddy” Small of stature but big of heart. Freddy's sunny disposition has proven to be a fertile field for popularity. During the past four years he has sailed from one acheive-ment to another with the greatest success. Our only hope is that his contagious smile will aid the Red Wings in their attempt to win a pennant this summer. Joseph I). Bonanno “Joe” Vivacious and clever are the two adjectives that describe Joe. Full of action, he assiduously devotes himself to his studies and has the reputation of being able to speak German with comparative ease. Aquinas will miss you, Joe. and wishes you great success in the medical field. John W. Boylan “Johnny” It is not hard to find John in a crowd. He towers above most of us. Although his wisdom as yet is not appreciated by Mr. Deviny, we expect to hear big things of John in the near future. In him Aquinas sends forth a true Christian gentleman, a vigorous exponent of Catholic ideals, a loyal alumnus. John W. Byrne “John” John is one of those people who possess the invaluable knack of calling everyone by his first name. He even calls teachers by nicknames when they are not around. John will ever be remembered by his classmates for to each of us he has been a true friend. Bon voyage, pal. John A. Butler “Jack” Jack is that amiable cashier on the west side of the cafeteria. You know, the fellow who always smiles when you pay for your pretzels. Besides being a businessman. Jack is also a splendid musician. May your smile and music continue to charm your friends. Jack, as they have at your Alma Mater. James J. Brady “Jim” Quiet and unobtrusive on most occasions. Jim is a source of constant merriment to his friends. He won dramatic laurels as The Coach in our school play. Jim plays shadow to Johnny Byrne, when the latter is in school. Au revoir, Jim. we wish you luck. William C. Burke “BiU” Bill's wit and cheerfulness have merited him a warm place in the hearts of the Senior Class. Quiet William is at his best in the science and math classes. His good work at Aquinas heralds his success in the engineering field. We shall certainly miss our Bill. seventeen
