Qewwaw armatepamn W$WQQ V V V WALTER L. CARLIN Sodality t0; Dramatics t3 Ulzvthz'arzlaing, idle, wild and young, He lauglfd and talkjd and dancid and sung? We all consider Walter as the example of what the HVVell-dressed young man should be. A most likable chap, we do not wonder that he is a favorite with the fair sex. Who, indeed, could resist that cherubic smile, faultless collar and cra- vat, and neat suit, the whole being sur- mounted by a sleek haircomb. But VVal- ter, in spite of the many demands which society makes upon his time has acquired a knowledge of the Classics and Sciences which enables him to scoff at llexams, the prospect of which causes others to tremble. ltWalt has decided to devote himself to the alleviation of others, suf- fering, by taking up the profession of dentistry. If he makes as good a dentist as he does a friend, we will gladly en- trust our molars to his care. VlWalterl, HENRY F. CARNEY Sodality t0 g A man, in a ilzillionfj Two years ago St. Peters portals opened to welcome llHenW Although ly- ing in the enchanted land of tranquillity, he soon pursued the daily routine of lis- tening to the egotism 0f Cicero and the vengeance 0f swift-footed Achilles. But such held no terrors for him. Henry has secured an enviable standing among his fellow-studeuts because of his kind, gen- erous, and sympathetic ways. Such suc- cess in school-work and such popularity among his fellow-studcnts cannot but augur well for his future career. Each and everyone of his companions and class- mates join in wishing llHen all kinds of success. ilHen ngewcwwag 1923 WQDW$W$Q 22

ewww Gm miepbean QWQBDWQ Q eel FRANCIS C. CAREY Sodality t9; Football t2-3-4l The most manifest sign of wisdom is contnmed Cheerfulnessfl When Alma Mater stood in the shadows of a September evening, and watched the Class of ,23 go by, she smiled and in her superior wisdom nodded approval at the coming of Francis C. Carey, Jr., Jersey City, if you please. And Frank, like a true cavalier, proceeded to prove the fair lady correct in whatever assumption she may have entertained. Ever true to his ideals, calm and smiling, Frank strode sedately through his years at St. Peters in a manner that won the admiration of his classmates. Strong of character, a11- alytical of mind, incapable of confusion, he is a man; generous of nature and gay of spirit, he is a regular fellow. His presence always played a conspicuous part in activities pertaining to the betterment of the class and the helping of his fel- lows. Good luck to you, Frank, and fare- s Well. ' nFrank A Q i??? ll JOHN T. CARLEY Sodality 8-9 llQuiet, but humorous? From the far-distant town of Ridge- held Park comes each morning our famed classmate John T. Unlike others he is never disturbed by the poor service of- fered him by the Erie trains; for John is at the school some mornings before the doors open. Few men in the school hail from St. Francis of Ridgewood, but if all are the type of John in perseverance and in training our praise is unstinted for that school. John is considered a regu- lar fellow and a true son of St. Peters. Rumor hath it that he is quite popular With the gentler sex of his home town. However, this popularity cannot exceed the favor he enjoys with his classmates, and we are confident that he will some day reach the topmost rung 0f the ladder of Fame. 1 s s as 2s g gt t t ? ft t llJohn'l iiW 21

a Jaswcwwme GIepBean ths jAMES M. CORRIGAN V?inon-lzcartcd IIPZ'UI', happy 02'ch Hjimmie is a man of whom St. Peter's may well be proud. His habitual cheer- fulness and unfailing good nature have won and retained for him a host of friends. SO far as we know, .tJim has two weaknesses. Number one is rather embarrassing to relate. He is favorably inclined toward a certain class of the other sex known as $111316 hoppers. The second, it is said, was the inspiration for Irving Berlin's song, Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morningf' t'Jimmie is slated for Holy Cross and his ability to acquire friends is expected to stand him in good stead at XVoreester. ijimlnie? JOHN A. COSGROVE This was the noblest Roman of them allii nJackisi' true self is somewhat obscured by the veil of a retiring disposition. How- ever, the qualities of earnestness and sin- cerity, which abound in his noble nature have secured for him 110 small measure of popularity. Some people are clever, but devoid of will, others are dull but per- sistent, but Cos is one of those chosen few who stand steadfast as Gibraltar, untroubled by the buffetings of Cicero and Homer, serene in the knowledge of work well done. We venture to predict a fam- ous future for this true Peterite. nCOS s i? 3? $ $7. i W $swcwwwmzwswmw
