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

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

CHARLES L. LECHNER Charlie 315 Emerson Street Holy Rosary Eferybody nay it and what everybody gays must be true. Charlie is a popular lad among his classmates, being good natured and friendly with all. Hus one great ambition is to be a salesman. He doe not lack training in this held, for he has often tried to sell the school building to some strange passerby. He is also an ardent student of “La Lingua Espafiola,” and is a rival of Cervantes in the mastery of that tongue. Although suspected of studying it has never been proved against him. In spite of these faults we find him a very likable fellow. MORTIMER J. LEARY Mori 99 Gould Street Blessed Sacrament A thinker is a person. Fairy Acrobatic Team. It is not the fear of faculty ban that inspires Mort to take the few tons of books home each night; we understand that it is a natural love of study. Mort is not only a fine student, but he is a wonderful athlete, and we owe more than one victory to his skill and fighting spirit. He is also an able cartoonist and a splendid orator, and in addition to these accomplishments he has a pleasing personality. Needless to say, he doesn’t have to court popularity. We know that this little athlete—orator —artist nas a great future in store for him, for he has the innate ability to “put it over” both on the diamond (he plays baseball, too) and in class. The team will surely miss him next year, and we too shall miss him, but we shall never forget him. JOHN A. MAIER John Cold water, N. Y. St. John the Evangelist Greece, N. Y. I am sick of this bid world! The daylight and the sun grow painful to me. When John isn’t laughing he’s arguing with his teachers, and sometimes both. These arguments furnish an infinite amount of amusement, and seem to be established as an indispensable factor in the school’s curriculum. The latest rumor is that John intends to revise Caesar’s account of his Gallic Wars. Be that as it may, he has made many friends who sincerely hope he succeeds in the medical profession, which he has elected to follow. sixteen
