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

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

EDWARD R. McGRAW Eddie” 271 Dartmouth Street Nazareth Hall “The ladies call him sweet, the stars he treads on kiss his feet. Behold the world's most bashful man. Look him over, girls, he iant half so bashful as he claims to be. Eddie is an active member of the renowned Fairy Acrobatic Team in which he plays the part of the strong man. He just loves to study, and every afternoon he may be men with as many as one book tucked nicely under his arm. He never loses his temper, and all his conversation is carried on quietly. There s a reward awaiting the person who ever heard Eddie shout. Of course, we need not say that he is very popular among us. CHARLES MARRON 210 Knickerbocker Avenue “Doe” St. Mary’s “When a man's life is at stake no delay is too long.” Behold our noble president, who possesses more dignity than all other presidents combined. When it comes to gaining notoriety without doing anythin® he mak«-s old King Tut look like a shadow. Doc takes full advantage of his nigh office, for he believes with the rest of us that election to any presidency naturally presupposes arbitrary vacations. The faculty do not support this view, however, and Doc often has conferences with them behind clotted doors. He is the pivot around which all scholastic affairs revolve, and his vacations do not remove his influence at all from these functions. He is the center of attraction at all basketball games and sometimes afterwards. JOHN E. McGRAW 271 I artmouth Street Mac” Nazareth Hall “Let me die facing the enemy.” John is one of our biggest men. officially as well as fthysically. His avoirdupois was used to good advantage n superintending the ticket selling at our basketball games. John has been appointed to represent Aquinas at the annual convention of the Beef and Chocolate Trust, Inc., of which he is a distinguished member. Among his friends John is known as the Sheik of Dartmouth Street, for he’s a great hit with the girls. We all like John and hope that he may realize his hopes for the future. seventeen
