CHARLES A. WELTZER CkmUf 142 York Street St. Peter and Paul's have immortal longings in me. Our petit flevd, Charlie, in a practical and reliable example of the law of rompenaation. small in stature, but mighty in mind and deeds. He is a most careful and assiduous student in French, and we bet he can speak it per-f »ctly, but we never hear him say a word. He is always reserved but with his reticence he invariably combines pleasantness and complaisance that command more than ordinary respect from his classmates. RUSSEL E. VOYER Russel” 312 Main Street Batavia. N. Y. Cathedral Grammar “Stately and tall he moves in the hall The chief of a thousand for grace” If hard work and initiative are the requisites for fame. Russel needn't worry about getting his. He applies himself so studiously and persistently that we are almost green with envy, and his pluck in spite of obstacles is to be admired. He has cultivated the merited esteem of both teachers and fellow students. His sagacious advice has settled many a question. Moat of all we admire his colloquial English which instead of being simpler than his written English, is redundant with so many endless, formidable, and onomatopoeic (here’s a new one. Russel) words that we can only blink and stare and seek at a later time Noah’s moat popular work. The gorgeous sound of obstreperous physiognomies,” alleviation of discrepancies and cantankeroaity” still lingers with us. Good I uck, Russel! twenty-two

HAROLD E. DOUGHERTY “Harold” Avon, N. Y. St. Agnes Sot as we wanted it. But as God wanted it.” In thin young man from Avon we find a model of quietness peculiar to the average boy. He is never known to say any unnecessary thing, speaking only when he is spoken to. Maybe this accounts for his failure in oral English where he has to speak with no ones saying a word to him. Still, he doe good work otherwise and we know his future will be bright and happy. LAWRENCE E. DAVIN “Dode” Avon, N. Y. St. Agnes “They're only truly great who are truly good.” Dode” seems to have a tendency to day dreaming when the teacher is talking and this has caused him some uncomfortable moments after he has been brought back to earth by a rather severe reprimand. However, ne seems to be getting better control of his sense and is doing his work more satisfactorily than at first. He is from Avon and reflects no discredit on that burg. He expects to be village trustee down there and we hope he gets tne position. He has the very best wishes of his fellow students, and they hope he will be a prosperous town official. HOW ARD G. FINZER Finscr” 1353 Main Street East Corpus Christi “ hirer y one excels in something in tchick another fails.” Now this gentleman is as good at one thing as at another. It makes no difference what it is, he can do it. He will some day be a great orator or emancipator—maybe a second Daniel Webster. If so, we hope he will try to abolish the income tax so dreaded by everyone. We nope his master mind will make a fine impression on the commercial world. twenty-four
