JOHN GERALD CONNELLY Jack” 412 Sawyer Street St. Monica’s “Jack is a born leader, a real organiaer, a worthy successor to the late Tammany leader of the Metropolis. He has a smile as perpetual as the sunshine, a voice to harungue herds, us we know from the assemblies. He is a busy Jack, always has something brewing, accomplishes much, is always under fire, yet as composed as a Sphinx. Being a rambler on the G. V. I , greens, his practice stands him well; for many a time has he been tied at the eighteenth hole, and stendusl for the winning putt to the cup. We like Jack because he is steady. FRANCIS XAVIER CCLUNAN ”Frank” 733 Genesee Street St. Joseph’s Collegiate. Buffalo Frank is a philosopher, a friend, one deeply interested in Latin classics, humorous and a believer in that saying. Think first and then speak,” which he follows out not only in English but in all his classes. He tries to tell us he doesn’t study but his records show otherwise. He aspires to l e a ball player, and if he enters that profession with the name earnestness he has shown in his stu lies, tell Everett Scott to look out for his record. The Senior Class wishes you the greatest success, Frank. B E R N AIID JA N1E8 CO N N1: ELY Hunk” 17 Electric Avenue Sacred Heart • Bunk” is a gentleman and a scholar. He can enjoy himself and still keep up to the standard in his studies. Reading is one thing that ’’Bunk” likes. As a result, he is planning a trip to Mars. His greatest weakness is his love for red-headed girls. neveu

IU Y Fit A NCIS CLIFFORI) Doc” 1467 South Avenue St. Boniface '■nor’ is our universal skeptic, llis questions are as baffling as an income tax blank. He astounds his pedagogue with the profound arguments he weaves,—yet all this is due to the deep interest he takes in his studies Although Doc is not a mediciner. he has relieved many a fluttering student with his prudent panacea. So long. Doe. BERNARD FRANCIS CLINTON Jui va .ri01 Lyell Avenue Holy Apostles Juggs is a firm adherent of the maxim Make hay while the sun shines. for he eagerly absorbs all the knowledge imparted by his teachers. No. he is not a book-worm, for he is a member of the Hermits, which fact naturally makes him an all-around good scout and incapable of such an atrocity. His spirit of optimism has never failed to brighten up the school year and he keeps the class from dragging along by his witty remarks, which always cause great mirth. If he advances as far along the road to success as he has on the road to our hearts it argues well for his future prosperity and happiness. (JERALD JOHN BCR NS . 112 Conkey Avenue Jack” St. Bridget's Jack is a hard worker and possesses a brilliant mind. He has succeeded in almost everything he has undertaken. Jack natural ability as an atfilete lm enabled him to uphold Aquinas' good name both on the field and in the classroom. He takes an active interest in all sports, and is a member of the baseball team. No mishap seems to disturb him. but instead it seems to spur him to greater efforts. His absence will be keenly felt but, no doubt, his memory will linger for a long time in our hearts. H1X

BKKTKAND DA NIKI. KHMANN “Bert” 100 Howard Street 8t. Bonifaec If you are searching for a man, here ia Bert Khmann! This is the least that can he said of him. In addition, he is un athlete and a student. In fact, he is an all-around man and chum. Although, at times, he is somewhat reserved in manner, those about him know that his broad smile and ready wit give joy wherever he goes. Of course, we know that Bert,” going forth into the world armed with the knowledge attained at Aquinas, will conquer all ob-staeles and arrive at success early in life. Good luck, Bert! LEON WILLIAM KII KMANTROUT “Leon” 1923 Culver Itoiul St. Francis Xavier I.eon, by his eager desire for sports, has attained a worthy position in basketball on the the reserve team. His success in school has been coually as good as his basketball ability. However, almut three nights a week his social pursuits seem to interfere with his doing his home work and sometimes he gets in trouble with his teachers When he isn’t relating some experience, fir a new trick tried with his .Studebaker, he is generally studying. Chemistry experiments seems to interest I.eon most and he watches as close as he can to let the other fellow play with the fire His powers of observation will doubtless make him a weather reporter or forest ranger. JOH N THOM AS DEI. AN IV “Johnnie” Avon. N.Y. St. Agnes' Johnnie is another famous student from the wilds of Avon. But who eoukl guess it? He favors us with his big brood grin every morning about 9:30 (if the train happens to stop at Avon). Johnnie is built for l oth comfort and speed but judging from the time he arrives at History class he flourishes the former characteristic moat. But Johnnie gets there just the same and we wish him all kinds of success. ei ht
