 George R. Koerner George An ideal student, the joy of every class, is George. the able editor of the Maroon and White. May your success in life be just as great as it has been at Aquinas is the wish of your classmates and teachers. Proudly does Aquinas send you forth as a true alumnus, a cultured. Catholic gentleman. Glen T. Kunz Glen Glen has many friends, mainly because of his cheerful and friendly disposition. Never does he show a sign of gloom despite his studious aspect when deeply engaged in absorbing knowledge. You ought to see him in the physics lab. Someday he will have one of his own. Good-luck. Glen. Albert R. Koch Al AI is the man who so ably took the part of J. Clarence Biddeford in the Senior Play. He is a good student, a good actor and a good friend. Remember the Marigold, Al? Let that be a lesson to you. Keep the menu card away from your girl, J. Clarence, and in this way you will keep your money in your pocket. Gerald R. Kunz Jerry Give him a poke in the ribs or a slap on the hack—he always comes up with a smile. In Gerald we have a student of proven scholarship abilities ; an exceptional oboe and English horn player (remember Bolero) a star math and chemistry student; and the secretary of our class. What more could any man desire? J. Walter Knapp “.Scoop” This is the lad who revived the reign of terror in 306 with his window pole. Ask Dcsrochers. He is one of the triumvirate of Spud. Scoop and Soapy and has afforded much amusement and reluxation to his classmates who have enjoyed his clowning. Good luck. Scoop! “A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men”. William K. Kuhn “Bill A bit shy and timid and the answer to a teachers prayer describes Bill in the classroom. To the world, he is just another town boy who made good, but to us he is one who has made life merry at Aquinas. Good-bye Bill”, you have carved a niche in our hearts. Now carve one in the heart of the world. Donald J. Kridel Don Like Rubinoff. Don has an orchestra which does him credit. However Don is not Russian, so do not be alarmed. He may go to the top in a rush, but it will be in a sane American way and we shall all join in the shouting when he arrives. Thomas S. Leary Tom Tom is one of the Lakes id-ers who come a long way to Aquinas. He has a fine pair of dancing feet and he goes to all the dances when the bank-roll permits. Tom never allows his studies to interfere with his driving pleasures. Keep up that old Irish spirit and show the world. Tom. twenty-five

twenty-four Leonard Hall “Len For four yean we have had Len's smile and pleasing personality in our midst. He helped his home room win the Indoor-Baseball championship and we give him our best wishes for as good fortune in life. Keep up the good work, Len ! Francis C. Hehnlein Frank Frank's good nature and jovial smile have won the admiration of the whole Senior Class. His accomplishments as orator and debator are unexcelled: he is president of our debating club, and a member of the Saint Thomas Club. His role in the Senior Play helped to make it a success. Hail and farewell. Frank! Robert C. Hendrick Bob A small but mighty man is Bob. He has proven his prowess in basketball and baseball, and he always comes through in the exams with laurels. His quiet, amiable nature has won many friends who will surely be proud of Bob's future success. We shall be proud of you, too. Bob. as we have been throughout the four years spent at Aquinas. John L. Hill Bunker-Bunker is our class's smallest member—in stature, but not in deeds. Although he has a good time, he manages, by some secret power, to keep up in his studies. Keep up the good work. Bunker, we’re all with you! Charles W. Jones Charley Here is a Senior of the strong, silent type. A conscientious student and a popular classmate, the members of the class of thirty-three join in wishing him good luck. Always remember your Alma Mater. Charley. Frank T. Kelly Frank Quietly and steadily Frank goes about his daily task. His loyalty and companionship have endeared him to every Senior and we all know that the future holds great things in store for him. Be true to the ideals of an Aquinas gentleman. Frank, and we shall all be proud of you. George F. Kelly George George, who is continually amazing Mr. Deviny with theories. can usually be found around the candy counter during lunch periods. An ardent supporter of athletics. George never misses an opportunity to get into a game. If persistence is a sign of success, your future is assured. George. John J. Kihn Jack If we can stretch our imagination a few years, we shall no doubt find Jack engaged in scientific research. He is a real bug of radio and science. He is a man whom Aquinas can ill afford to lose. If your radio does not function properly, call on Jack. He is sure to set things right for you.

James C. Levis “Jim” Another diminutive member of the class. Jim ii a good student although he has sometimes had a wee bit of trouble with American history. Perhaps the reason is he is out to make ‘new history. Go to it Jimmie, Napoleon did. Michael A. Man Kano Mike” Behold our Daniel Webster—the one who argues almost any of Father Marks' statements. But even with this tendency to argue, Mike makes an agreeable companion and a true pal. Keep it up, Mike, success surely will come to you in life and then recall the prophecy of your classmates. Joseph H. Lynch ‘‘Smokcy” Old Smokey Joe has been the envy of all his classmates and the answer to his teachers' prayers. His ability to obtain high marks in all his work and especially in math, has rivaled Swalbach's and Frank's. You are our glory and our pride. Joe. keep it up to the end. Gerard J. Marks “Gerard” Gerard is a Senior who can truthfully boast that he hasn't an enemy. He is a modest, reserved young man always pleasant and jovial. Gerard’s success in life is assured. We’re with you. Gerard. go to it! Don't forget us when you are President. We know you will even then be loyal to Alma Mater. Samuel M. Macano '‘.Sam” Sam was the admiration of all the seniors because of his marks in apologetics. No one could figure out how it was done without carrying the book home, but Sam did it just as he will lick the business world in the days to come. More power to you, Sam. Raymond J. Marlins •'Ray” Through his wit and friendliness. Ray has won a place in the hearts of his classmates. A great sports’ enthusiast and a good athlete himself. he is very popular in spite of his love for arguing. May your spirit carry you through life as it did through Aquinas, Ray! Good luck and good-by. Robert E. Malley -Bob” A bulk of joy and happiness. we have yet to find Bob down-hearted. Bob’s ability to play football and to apply himself to study has won him a place in the hearts of the faculty and student-body. So-long. Bob. and may success be yours all through life as it has been yours thus far. Delbert A. Marsielje ••Dcr Del is one of our wavy-haired fellow seniors and most assuredly a fellow graduate. He is friendly and has good sporting blood in his veins. Here’s wishing you lots of luck in the future and a bright goal that you will some day reach. So long. Del! Remember, you cannot keep a good man down. twenty six
