Vincent W. Cirrincione ‘•vr Strength of character U a great asset in life and Vi seems to be aware of this. He has fashioned his days at Aquinas after the old motto. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you . Vi aspires to be a baseball player and we are sure he cannot help succeeding if his record at Aquinas is any indication of his ability. Thomas I). Cloonan “Red Red is one of the smaller members of the class. His fiery thatch brightens his already cheerful countenance so that he is sure to make you feel as happy as Red invariably is. Greet the world in the same way. Red, and good luck is sure to follow in your path. John J. Colvin “John Here one views a quiet and reserved gentleman who is industrious in streaks. He is a good friend of Mr. Martin and a so-called “woman hater”. In John we lose a loyal friend and supporter on whom his classmates could always rely for assistance. We regret to say good-by, John, but the best of friends must part. Gerald M. Congdon “Jerry” Good old Jerry is a friend of everyone. He is quite a student in his line but this line surely is not Chemistry. He is attentive and fairly well versed in English although he is not an oratorical genius. Well, Jerry, if the future holds no Chemistry everything will be bright and rosy. So. here’s hoping! Howard G. Cook “Cooky Cooky is one of those strong silent men with a vivacious and witty personality who is resolved to stand the world on end. Good Luck Cooky! You must not disappoint us but we know you are too resolute for that. John J. Coughlin “Jack Jack’s jokes will always be remembered by fellow class-men and members of the faculty. He is an ardent participant in basketball and baseball. Here’s hoping you will be as successful in the future as you have been at Aquinas. Au revoir. Jack ! Ray C. Countryman “Farmer Farmer Countryman is one of the school’s best musicians. He plays the sax and clarinet with “finesse”. If he had a few more years here, maybe. he’d learn a few more instruments. He hope to be a famous musician some day. Well, you are off to a good start, Ray ! Paul A. Croce “Pant Who is the silent and serious fellow ? No, he is not one of the profs, but one of the Class of 33, Paul Croce. At every recess one may see him struggling over a game of bridge and believe me. he’s a winner. Keep your sunny disposition. Paul. With it not only can you keep your pals but ever increase their number. nineteen

eighteen William G. Carey “Bill” Here is Bill, a veritable gloom chaser. What he lacks in size he makes up in wit. Bill is one of our best examples of deserved popularity even though he has broken many a fair heart with his dashing appearance. Au revoir. Bill, and plenty of good luck! You know we are going to miss you and your humor. Michael D. Cerame “AfiAre” Mike is a Maroon basketball star. His ability in this sport is one of the reasons why he was placed on the first team of the “All Home-Room Stars”. May you be as successful at St. Michael’s as you were at Aquinas. Mike! Remember, we expect glowing reports from Toronto. Robert I . Charlton “Bob” Shades of Shelley and Mil-ton ! “Bob” is one of our sterling poets. His contributions to the “Maroon and White” were always welcomed by readers as well as by the editor. We begin to think that in some language Charlton rhymes with “Success . Bob. We hope so, too. George K. Christoff “Joe” Joe is a silent and very industrious chap both at work and at play. Perhaps he has heard that old phrase. Work while you work, and play while you play”, for he surely does seem to live up to this rule. Keep it up “Joe and you are sure to land on top and when you arrive remember the good days at Aquinas. Paul M. Byrne “Paul” Here is Paul, President of the Virgil Club, a brilliant student, quiet and unassuming. Paul knows that humility is more essential than learning, and so he is content to enjoy the hidden life. One can always turn to Paul for a serious conversation and so. expecting great deeds from you, Paul, we say. Bona fortuna tibi.” Richard L. Callahan “Dick'' Even though Dick is usually on the wrong end of Mr. Dolan's “Quiet, please.” he can still hold his own with any teacher. Of course. Dick is serious once in a while (especially in Vergil class). He wants to be a lawyer but we think you are far too honest. Dick. J. Neil Campbell “NeO” Neil is a basketball player of ability and an ardent supporter of the intramural games. If he is as true to his work in the future as he is to his pal, Joe Bishop, success will be his. You have our best wishes for luck and success. Neil, and we are confident of realizing our wishes. Cormac G. Cappon “Cap” When one thinks of French. Cormac comes to mind (if one’s mind is big enough!), and vice versa. Nevertheless, his heart and body are in proportion and. aside from being a “would have been atheist. Cormac is a model student. Here’s hoping that you will hit the obstacles in life as you did the marks at Aquinas. Cap.

twenty Charles 11. Cunningham ••Chuck Behold our gentleman who can drive a different car everyday ! We think he likes to play bus-driver, though. Chuck has our best wishes for the success which his beaming countenance should insure. Remember your friends at Aquinas in the years to come. Chuck. Nicholas J. DellaPorta Nick Nick has determined to pursue an arts course and win for himself the B. A. degree. Nick is one of those rare specimens who say little but do much. One as ambitious as he very seldom fails und I know that his friends bid him heureux jours ’. Myron W. Cucci CoocA” In Myron we have one of the popular members of our Senior Class. For the past four years he has devoted himself to science and math and in them he has earned laurels. When Cooch graduates from M. I. T. the engineering world will acquire a clever member. We shall not forget you. Myron ! George J. Dash Hud Bud is the wittier half of the Pestorius-Dash combination whose extraordinary humor has made many otherwise dull and uneventful days more cheerful and interesting. So long. Bud. and may your cheerful disposition bring you ever more popularity in the future. William A. Daggar BiU Bill's rare ability to give short witty speeches in Father Morgan's English Class stamps him as one of the up and coming orators. At all the football games Bill was present bubbling over with enthusiasm and cheering his team on to victory. Dartmouth appears to be the next stop for Billy and may it prove a successful one! Donald E. Dailey Don This is the young man who seems to have the holding up of dismissal down to an exact science. Although he is one of Mr. Dolan's pet pests he has the best wishes of his classmates as he mounts the ladder of success. To the last man. your classmates are backing you. Don. John K. De Marie John Another of those strong silent men. John is seldom heard of except after examinations. Someday we shall wake up to find him in with J. P. Morgan and some of the other '‘boys’ . O. K., John, when you enter this combination remember your Aquinas days and the class of '33. John E. Dengle John John maintains that good things come in small packages. Known throughout the school by his brilliant suspenders. John is liked by all. A member of the musical organisation and a permanent member of Mr. Doyle's 3:20 club, he is also a brilliant athlete and claims the highest golf score in the school. Good Luck, John. Km
