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

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

Frederick J. Desrochers “Fred Fred's reputation for sartorial efforts is unequalled. He has worthily earned the name of Fulcher from Mr. Hurley. Nevertheless Fred is a real fellow and a student who has man axed to keep his record above the average. If his success in life equals his success in neatness. Fred will be a great man. So long. Fulcher I John J. Driver Jim Jim is a generous friend und a good fellow who gets himself and others into trouble with his merry laughter. He is a big man with a big voice who hates to keep secrets from anyone. Auf Wie-dersehen. Pal! We shall not forget you when we say good-by to our Alma Mater. Pasquale J. Dinolfo “Pat Fasquale will be remembered for his ever present smile. This husky, well-developed Senior's wit has a place in every class. Your good work here. Fat. well augurs your success in the outer world. Plenty of luck. Pat! Show the Canadians what an Aquinas man can do. Glenn C. Dugan Glrnn As modest as he is. Glenn cannot but boast that he never had to fulfill Mr. Dolan's order for one Literature and Life preface. Perhaps he is slow in making friends but. when he does, this son of Erin proves a true and loyal pal. Good-by. Glenn, you have our heartiest wishes for good luck. Arthur H. Donovan “Art This big fellow is one of Mr. Doyle’s stars in French. He is a quiet chap so many of his deeds have gone unsung. We are sure that you will make your presence felt in later years. Art, and when ou come into your own remember. We told you so. William O. Edell “WiUy Willy has won many lasting friends with his never failing smile. His only weakness is his passion for yellow. He was a howling success as social editor, even though he did obtain the reputation of being a sob sister from Mr. Dolan. We wish you the best of luck. Willy. Richard V. Driscoll “Dirk Dick is a new comer to Aquinas, but in his one year of hard work he has made many friends. He breezed in from Dansville. that great big city, with a clarinet and a smile. Combined with a sedate and calm exterior we find an oratorical genius and n good musician. The best of luck. Dick. Herbert P. Esse “Herb Herb likes his fun. He’s steady in his work though. The banter doesn't bother him. Do your best. Herb! You are one member of our class upon whom we all are banking. Don’t disappoint us as this would be a hard blow to the class of 33. twenty-one
