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

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

Woe is one of them and he is possessed of the same caliber and virtues of all others who hail from that famous little school. As is the case with few in the class itJoeis outstanding virtue is his silence. He is so quiet that there are times that one even doubts his presence in the class, and never yet has he been known to engage in an argument. Although erii has never donned a St. Peters uni- form, nevertheless, he is an all-round ath- g lete. tiloeii has won many friends in the school, due to his good-natured ways. Whatever may be his vocation or field of endeavor, we predict for him success equal to his popularity. PETER J. COUSINS Sodality 6-40; Dramatics t9 $4 mite of a 1mm? tKPetef a type of St. Peters best, eu- listed in our ranks four years ago. Of a quiet, retiring disposition, except dur- ing school hours, When his ability at the principal parts of Greek and Latin verbs is evident, he is a friend of all. You may see numerous zeros on his report card. each preceded by an eight or nine. tiPcte has rarely been absent from class since entering the Prep. We know that he will accomplish great deeds in whatever line he pursues. For such as ttPete we have nothing but the greatest hopes and best wishes for a long and successful career. i Q i it t t $ t it Q , JOSEPH A. COSGROVE g b ': uPete i $bw$wcae 192 awwbeevesaweg
