ADRIAN DRUMM— “SALVATOR.” 439 Flower City Park. Prepared, Cathedral. Baseball (3-4), Orchestra (1), Reserve Basket- ball (2-3). A good laugh now and then is enjoyed by the best of men. That is why Adrian is so well known. He is the fun producer of the Seniors and can always be relied upon to awaken a dead class. RAYMOND DWYER— “WHITEY.” 42 Texas Street. Prepared, Holy Apostles. A gentleman in every sense of the word. His quiet ways and conservative manner have always gained regard for him from his class- mates. Some day, “Whitey” is going to build the largest ship afloat, for his ambitions could o’ersweep the seas. GEORGE B. FISCHER— “FISH.” 21 Boardman Street, Prepared, Blessed Sacra- ment. Student Board. George is our versatile song composer and scatterer of joyful harmonies and bright melodies. “Optimistic George” and his sunny music are great gloom dis- pellers on dull days. “S. H. I.” states him to be the cartoonist for the Daily Blast, Annual Cyclone, and Jay town Wheeze. J. HOWARD FITZGERALD— “FITZ.” 416 Clay Avenue. Prepared, St. Mary’s. Student Board, Senior Annual Board, Debate (3-4), Vice-president Students’ Association, Manager Basketball (4). “Fitz” has that quiet, amiable disposition which makes him the friend of everyone with whom he comes into contact. Everyone down to the greenest Freshman knows “Fitz” and though, as a rule, his mission, when he enters the various class rooms, is to separate the students from a dime or so, yet he is always greeted with a hearty “hallo.” Between you and us, we may say, for all his solemnity, “Fitz” is a veritable “gash-hound.” “S. H. I.” quotes: “Let me have fat, sleek-headed men about me.”

Academic Department J. MYRON BLACKWOOD— “JACK.” 67 Atkinson Street. Prepared, Immaculate Conception. Student Board, Senior Annual Board, Basket- ball (4), Reserve Basketball (3), Debate (4). Myron needs no introduction as he is well known in every class. He is no mean athlete, having done some good work for the basketball team during the past year. He is an energetic worker, and whatever he starts out to accomplish, he does with zest. FRANKLIN BRAYER— “FAT. 1 Normandy Avenue. Prepared, SS. Peter and Paul ' s. “Fat” is an interesting personage who rambles about the corridors during a great part of his spare time. The rest of the time is used in inquiring for his per cents of the last examination to see whether he is eligible for the farm cadet corps. HAROLD R. CLARK— “BUTCH.” 300 Sherwood Avenue. Prepared, Immaculate Conception. “Butch” is Champ Clark’s namesake, but he is altogether different from that distinguished gentleman. He is not much of a “speaker,” but is an excellent actor on the stage of athletics. HAROLD. H. CONNOR— “FINGIE.” 92 Meigs Street. Prepared, St. Mary ' s. “Fingie” has worn quite a trail from the study hall and class rooms to the office. But do not think this is all he does, for he does real work when he wants to. As a syncopat- ing songster, he ' s a “bear.” (Pardon the word, but it’s so expressive, “don’tcha know. )

EDWARD GOTTRY— “SAM.” 22 Parkway. Prepared, Cathedral. Student Board. “Sam” has been gifted very much along lines of merriment which he has put to good advantage in our four years of school. Not only is he full of cheerfulness but also is he a proud possessor of extra oidinary musical abilities. AUSTIN J. HEBERGER— NEMO.” 42 Avenue C. Prepared, St. Bridget’s. Student Board, Senior Annual Board, Debate (4), Baseball (3), Reserve Basketball (3-4). Aust. is a quiet amiable gentleman with a win- ning personality and prepossessing appear- ance which change mere acquaintances into steadfast friends. His delicate modesty, far from being a drawback only helps to aug- ment the popularity of this social, athletic and scholastic lion. GERALD F. HUGHES— ' ‘NUNDA. Nunda, N. Y. Prepared, Nunda, N. Y. Student Board, Debate (4). This elongated young gentleman is about as lively a being as anyone can be if they wish to remain out of jail. One can never be sure of just what Gerald is about to do. In fact he does not know, himself. Taken all in all “Dick is a fine-spirited fellow with his generosity as a leading fault. THEODORE W. KLEE— “TEDDY. 28 Alexander Street. Prepared St. Boniface. Student Board, Senior Annual Board, Debate (3-4), Valedictorian. There is little need of telling much about Teddy ' s ability. It is sufficient to say that the students of the R. C. H. S. owe much in the production of this Annual and The Student to his pains- taking thoroughness, to his wonderful execu- tive power and to his superlative intellectual power. Ted is a young man with an in- flexible will, and a love of justice glossed over with a genial, commanding way which makes him a born leader. He has a great start for the goal of Success.
