 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

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.

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.
