JOHN F. KEENAN 415 Park Avenue Jethn” HU-ssod Sacrament Coneider. I'm a peer of the realm, and I nhall die if I don't talk. When it comes to pure nonsense and foolery without a grain of sense, well, we'll hand John the jesters cap without any uncertainty of misappropriation. There isn’t a day or a class goes by that isn’t enlivened by his divers jokes and poignant witticisms. In Greek he furnishes his fellow Grecians with one laugh after the other and his presence at a senior meeting insures an impending panic by reason of his famous speeches and uncalled for remarks. He is a victim of the “tarditas adventus, and consequently seldom arrives on time. But withal he is a good student (Father Bruton's model by the way) having collected in some way or other seventy-one counts before June. This is rather “rare” as some say, and if we didn’t know John more intimately we would accuse him of excessive study. J. LEO KEATING Duke” 136 Mulberry Street Blessed Sacrament Habit t twrond pidfurr. Fairy Acrobatic Team. “Duke” is Ireland personified, and his jokes have helped to liven our dignified senior meeting . He is a leader of men. and missed his vocation when he was not elected cheerleader. Leo is not a sound sleeper, as he will wake up in the middle of a “snooze and inquire, “What time is it? Leo is heartily liked by all his classmates, who prophesy great success for him either as an actor or as an undertaker. EUGENE KLEE Ci’ene 5 Burkhard Place St. Boniface ■‘Faultily faultier, icily regular, splendidly nul. Here we have the opportunity to introduce you to the editor of the Morning Knight our scholastic journal. Gene studies rather conscientiously, we’re afraid, for he is always fairly well acquainted with hi daily lesson. Besides this, he has the reputation of being the school printer for when Gene isn’t studying, he is printing. However, it is said he shakes a wicked ankle at the most prominent dance in town. Gene is popular among the student and departs with our best wrishes. fourteen

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

GEORGE A. KUER Gawge 58 Cedar Street Holy Family So wise, so young, they my, do nertr lire long. (Jentility and Gawge are synonymous. He is one of the few silent members of the class. In spite of his apparent contentment, Gawge is a pluggcr and is usually a victor in all his scholastic battles. Intermediate is his specialty, although Spanish and science receive a good share of his time. His quiet disposition acts as a check upon the potential boisterousnens prevalent in his clames. He is a good fellow and has many friends who hope that his career mill be successful. ELMER G. KLEIN HANS Elmer 162 Conkey Avenue St. Michael’s ' He blushes: all is safe Here we have Elmer, a veritable duke in demeanor and manners. Upright, hardworking and thoughtful he has justly merited our esteem. Elmer speaks French well, but German even better, and it is a rare treat to hear him mingle German accents with Gallic words. Some of his powers (?) of deduction and analysis are marvelous, and almost take our breath by their originality. Should he continue thus, he may some day become a second Sherlock. BERNARD J. LAWLER Bamie 393 Augustine Street Holy Rosary “ Tis bark of kindly warmth, only I'm near the radiator. Bamie is classed among the best known dance orchestra leaders in our fair city. He is a fine pianist too, and he has often made the piano part with some lively, popular tunes. Barnie is just as proficient in his studies as in hts orchestra work, although we believe that the studying is not quite so congenial. He is a rather cheerful companion and a good fellow to have about. His sincerely is one of his most dominant characteristics, and as a result such criticism as he gives is always heeded. fifteen
