 Frederic J. Peiffer “Frr T Fred in one of our Big Gunn. His serene exterior and calm manner have been an inspiration to all. His ready friendship and quiet smile have won our hearts. May these characteristics, which we shall ever remember carry you far toward happiness and success. Fred. Carl E. Otis Cariitr What will the girls of Rochester do when Carl goes away to college? There is liable to be a migration which would be fatal to Carl's hitherto good scholastic standing. Always come up smiling. Carl, and remember the class of thirty-three. Fred I). Pestorius “Fred” One of our stellar gridiron heroes. Fred astonished us by his thespian ability in the Senior Play. He lives on the West Side but his love for his Alma Mater is so great that long after school hours he may still be found on Dewey Avenue. Such school spirit should not go unheralded. So long. Fred! Lawrence L. Peters “Larrg When you want a strong, amiable controversa!ist just consult I awrence. He is able to debate on any topic and he puts his knowledge into practice. Yes. sir, this country needs more practical men and Peters, we can proudly say. is one of them. So long. Larry, and good luck. Harry E. Rae “Harry Harry is the Vergil Club's “Rae” of light but his cheerful disposition has invaded other fields. Harry's name has often been found on the Honor Roll and we hope it will be found on the Roll of Honor in life. It will if your classmates can put it there, Harry. George M. O’Brien A clanging and jiggling is sufficient evidence of the presence of George and his collegiate car. His ability on the gridiron is indeed overwhelming. Politeness and humor gush from this country lad in excess. Don't let anything keep you from being a success, George- James P. Neary “Jim” Jim's winning personality along with his pugnacious spirit on the gridiron and his alertness on the court has distinguished him at Aquinas. His departure will be a loss to both his home mom and the football team. Success to you. Jim! Jack W. Otto “Jack This little blonde giant has been the life of many a class and the trial of many a teacher at times also. In spite of this however he is a good student and we know that the sky will be the limit in his rise to fame and fortune. twenty-nine

We promise you to patronize the Mooney Chain Store Co. twenty-eight Edward J. McVeigh Eddie We have often been amused and awed by Eddie’s argumentative propensities and many a dull class has been enlivened by his wit. A creditable student, a capable athlete. a true friend whose disposition ever remains bright and cheery is Ed. He leaves with our best wishes ringing in his ears. John J. Nacca Jawn John is our modest student who believes in being seen and not heard. For four years he has laboriously applied himself to his studies. Keep up the good work John, we know that you will nut fall by the wayside. May success be yours!

 James G. Rockwell “Jim Jimmy has Rained great renown through his French horn and Dizzy Rimes . He has spent four years at Aquinas which are much to his credit and we sincerely hope his future may be equally profitable. Good-by. Jim! Bernard J. Rogers Barney Barney’s fame rests on his ability to keep one of the historic Twenty Millions on the road. It is somewhat perplexing to determine the time, manner, and place where this Henry Ford will run out of gas. Vale. Barney ! We hope you’ll manage to keep going. James G. Sander Vim James is the handsome candy salesman in our cafeteria. Two years at C.M.T.C. has given Jimmie a very military carriage. Let’s hope he cares more for his history teacher than he does for the subject itself. Good Luck. Jimmie! Myron J. Scharr “My” Quiet and unassuming with plenty of pep when the occasion demands. My is a convenient member of the one o'clock physics class with his continuous questions. Auf Wiedersehen. My. and may you always continue to keep your curiosity within bounds ! Charles F. Scheuermann “Chuck” In Chuck we have a rare combination of student, athlete and regular fellow. We are looking forward to graduation to see how he looks in a tuxedo. So long. Charlie, and good luck! Go out and show the world what you have already shown here at Aquinas. Henry L. Schlueter “Hank” Hank is slow to talk but when he does, we listen, because he knows whereof he speaks. Hank does not know yet what he is going to do after leaving school, but we’ll lay odds that he’s a success. Let us hear from you when you decide. Hank. George II. Schlueter Gcorgir” Here is the boy with the old car. the curly hair and the wish to be a chemist. George is the first of the triumvirate. Schlueter.Burke, and Schlueter. Don’t forget your old pals when you leave us. Schultz! We’ll miss the familiar tan top in the rear of Aquinas. Theodore T. Schottke “Ted Ted has earned quite a name for himself on the golf team. His only fault lies in his daily nap in math class. Nevertheless he has proved his worth to his classmates and we have great respect for Ted's ideals. So long, Ted! Rip VanWinkle slept twenty years.
