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.

 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

 m Raymond J. Martin Ray Ray is an active member of both the Dramatic and Vinril Clubs. In the Poor Nut” he proved to be a capable actor. Ray's uncontrollable passion is the finding out of his marks following exams. Silent and studious. Ray is liked by all who know him. Vale. Ray! May you come out successful in every exam even to the last great one! Louis J. Martino Louie Louis is one of the big reasons for the success of the Maroon and Whit . Aside from being an excellent student. Louis likes to play the hot corner” on the ball diamond. We wouldn’t mind losing sight of that wave in Louis' hair if we could only keep his smile. But a few months, sad to say. will deprive us of both. Good-by. Louie! Ralph C. Marton Ralph Ralph is our idea of the perfect senior, an ambitious, agreeable, good-natured, level-headed fellow. We shall certainly miss Ralph but the memories of his four years companionship will always remain with us. Success is surely in store for him and in it we shall all rejoice. John F. McCann Johnnie Behold the gentleman with the appearance of a cherub! John is said to be quite an artist and knowing him as we do. we are sure that he will soon rank among the best. If John causes as much disturbance in life as he does in the elementary design class, he is certain to be a sensation. George A. McCarthy George Here is Father Marks' right hand man. What George doesn't know about English he tells, anyway. His knowledge. however, is sufficient to assure us of his ultimate success and every member of the class is pulling for you. George. Theodore E. May Te Quietness and kindness are Ted’s middle names. Math, science, or languages hold no terrors for this deep-thinking lad. To watch chicks grow into chickens gives Ted the greatest pleasure. Go to it, Ted. we are all pulling for you to make good in the dairy business. Bernard McAniff Mar Behold Mr. McAniff who. in his freshman year, was the pride of 106. Since that time he has become a very accomplished fiddler. It is his intention to be a doctor after leaving Aquinas, and we feel sure that he'll make good in his chosen profession. Keep up the good work. Ber-nie. and you'll mount to great heights as an M.D. T. Gordon Massecar Gordie Here is one whose mind works twenty-four hours a day thinking of wise cracks for his column and Mr. Hurley. His light wavy hair saved the use of a transformation in the senior play. Gordie’s ambition is to be a Winchell II. so look out Walter. here he comes ! See what opposition Aquinas offers you. twenty-seven
