l—il Hi lgsr; j[ T1LLOTSON DAN I ELS—“Tilly” 1 illy is the pitcher par excellence of high school baseball. “Whoa, I illy, Take Your Time,” was written especially for our twirler. It takes him seventeen minutes to walk from the bench to the box, but when he gets there he has speed to burn. Tilly is no ladies’ man; he prefers his own curves. Football (1) (2) (3) (4); Rascball (1) (2) (3) (4); Captain (4); Commercial Course. ARTHUR D'ELIA—“Art” Art believes in doing the right thing at the right time. Therefore all that he does is done well. A good student, a drummer of note, (1 note) and to top it all. a union barber. Quite a lad, what? Discussion Club (2); Orchestra (1) (2) (3) (4); Classical Course. WINIFRED WILLIAM DICK—“Dickie” Winifred has been courting the same girl for three years now. Some buys are hogs for punishment. Rot Pourri (3); Football Squad (3) (4); Radio tlub (3); Discussion Club (2); Scientific Course. CHARLES BERNARD DONAHUE— Gramp” Cramp sits in class and recites twice a year religiously. Hailing from Groton (wotta town!), he comes directly to school and there spends his time contemplating morosely our numerous pedagogues. Who wouldn’t? sex you. We fear he is neurotic, and recommend a consultation with Herr Doktor Freud. Commercial Course. 20

WILLIAM BOOTH—“BILL” Bill is noted for his heavy stick work and has (|uitc a few home runs chalked up to his credit. Sergeant Cavanaugh is looking for the man who stole all the bases at Morgan Park last week. Watch ou,t, Bill! Football (3) (4); Baseball (1) (3) (4); Class Baseball (2) ; Classical Course. HARRY W. BUNTING—“Judge” They probably labelled Harry “Judge” because he doesn’t in the least look judicial. He frequently assaults the passive typewriter, and he deems himself a wit. It is not for us to say, however. Officially, he was on the Annual Board, but only officially. We forgive ’im that but we can’t forgive some of his “jokes.” Pot Pourri (3) ; Annual Board (4) ; Commercial Course. WILLIAM BUTLER CARTER—“Red,” “Nick” Red plays tennis for diversion. He has a little trouble off and on during the year with the unfair sex, but wc are glad to report that things seem to be going smoothly at present. Red deserves a few good breaks for a change, and we wish him the best of luck. Baseball Squad (3) (4) ; Tennis Squad (4) ; Class Baseball (1) (2) (3); Commercial Course. OLIVER FRANCIS COOPER—“Fat” Fat, as the name suggests, is one of the more ponderous members of our class. His poise (and averdupois) together with his schoolgirl complexion have oft excited the envy of his less pulchritudinous Classmates. Discussion Club (2) (3) (4); Radio Club (3) ; Classical 'Course. 19

EDMUND JOSEPH ESHENFELDER—“Eshic Did you ever hear the story of the Crown Prince of Germany? Well, if you haven’t, the Diocesan Bureau will tell you all about it. It doesn’t pay to fool with Ed. He will his constituents. A great man in his own bailiwick. Radio Club (3) ; General Course. HERBERT MAXIMILIAN FERN—“Maxie” Perhaps you have read of the farmer who bought a trolley car in New York and then tried to collect the fares. Herbie made that sale. The Private Tutor (3) ; Pot I’ourri (3) (4) ; Manager of Football (4) ; Assistant Manager (3) ; Junior Prom Committee (3); Class Baseball (3) ; Annual Board (3) (4) ; Business Manager (4) ; Scientific Course. JOSEPH D. GAETANO—“Git” When he is not favoring the school with his presence, Git sells limburger and doughnuts at Swanson’s. Such a combination of foodstuffs however, does not affect his disposition or digestion in the least. Commercial Course. MELVIN PARKER GAVITT—“Buck” The strength of the senior class is best exemplified by this 20th century Hercules. Bucky commands the respect of every member of the student body and incidentally of the faculty. Football (3) (4) ; Classical Course. 21
