GILBERT A. HENNER “Gilbert ’ 250 Rosewood Terrace Corpus Christ! She stammer : oh, what grace in lisping lies!” Gilbert is a verbose gentleman, and he uses his verbosity to good advantage in the Henner vs Faculty bouts, which take place regularly without advance notice. He and his sophistical verbal annotations are an inseparable part of the American history class. But Gilbert isn't a sophist at heart. He is extremely practical and has directed all his natural talents to mathematics. He has conquered every branch of that science which the school has offered, and he accomplished this with so little concern that we were annoyed beyond measure. Gilbert is very good natured and receives every slam or compliment with the same tolerant stoic smile. WILLIAM F. FRAWLEY Bill” Scottsville, N. Y.

ROBERT T. DWYER 3 Burke Terrace Bob Sacred Heart In life as in art—the beautiful mores in rurres. Without exaggeration we can way that Bob is by far the most popular member of his class. He is an exceptionally good mixer—therein lies his success—and he can be very humorous and serious by turns. Everything he does is undertaken whole-heartedly, be it study, recreation, or some kind of actual hard work such as arranging our first banquet. Bob always must have his little joke, but it doesn’t always provoke the proverbial little laugh. Oftentimes that little laugh turns out to be an uproarious riot of unrestrained mirth. He takes a lively interest in dead languages I .at in and Greek and has gained great success in that most lively of all languages on the rostrum. Bob has a magnetic personality that isn’t affected by the weather —as most magnetic conditions are— and is a tip-top good rrt. Of course he will make his mark, and we wish him greatest possible luck. EARL V. FISCHER WILLIAM J. DOWLING Bill 6 Lakeview Terrace Corpus Christ i “ hare great eontidence in the rerelations irhieh holidays bring forth. Thrifty and generous, serious and humorous, scholarly and athletic, are Bill’s characteristics. Because of his generosity he has always been a popular member of all gatherings. He is a talented linguist, and has achieved much success in Spanish. In addition to his scholastic and financial ability Bill is also an ardent and enthusiastic devotee of the manly sport of golf. If Bill keeps improving his skill in this sport, ne may some day become President. He is a “star” of the first magnitude in all he undertakes, and is a true friend, ever willing to give practical advice and lend a helping hand. 150 Avery Street Holy Apostles “ He thought as a sage, though he felt as a man. Earl is one of the few fellows who work hard, study hard, and play hard. He has a rather analytic mind, and this has perhaps been the cause for his study of science. Physics and chemistry have no terrors for him und we know positively that he is an authority on electricity and radio. Earl boasts of a transmitting station and gives us daily accounts of his achievements with it. With all this knowledge he combines an obliging personality, with the inevitable result that he is well liked by both the faculty and the students. Earl intends to be an electrical engineer; henceforth let Edison look to his laurels. eleven

Summerville Boulevard St. Michael's “ He draweth out the thread of hi rerbosity finer than the staple of hi argument. Art's appearance at any moment accompanied by two doughnuts means that the sun is going to be outdone in producing cheerfulness, and it usually is. Art is an exemplary cheer leader and the astute manager of our baseball team. Art’s fame, however, is really due to his remarks in American History, he and Gilbert lead the class and teacher a hard life trying to follow the textbook and absorb all those subtle “wise cracks” at the same time. We never knew American history could be so funny until we heard Art’s comments upon it. He is liberally endowed with initiative and good judgment, and of his wisdom we have no doubt, for he has accomplished the difficult feat of graduating after only three years of study. Keep right a-goin’. Art. DAVII) D. HUCK Dare ELLISON G. HILLENGAS “Ellioon” 78 Woodward Street Corpus Christi “ am aheap in ha te, but nerer in a hurry. Whenever a picture of Ellison comen to our mind, we can never clearly discern his countenance, because it is always blocked by a towering pile of books, which he carries with him from class to class. Being naturally ambitious, he carries them all home with the patience and good will of a saint. Now. how can he possibly find any time to sleep after studying them all? There are limits even to our intelligence. He is a brilliant student of Spanish, and is a bureau of information for all doubting Thomases of that class. He is the most conscientious person we have ever seen; to him an unknown lesson is a misdemeanor. 529 Portland Avenue Our Lady Of Perpetual Help 7 hope don't intrude. If we were ever asked to give an example of cheerfulness we would without doubt select Dave. Dave is the very soul of optimism and takes everything that comes his way in a truly philosophical manner. He boasts of having been present at practically every basketball game and has accompanied the team on every trip. His escapades at Buffalo have become a subject of universal comment much to his own discomfort and our glee. Dancing has also received some of Dave's attention, and he is quite dextrous in the aesthetic art of toddling to a jazzy accompaniment. thirteen
