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

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

His keen sense of humor, and his ability driving a Nash have made him many friends. He always has an unceasing smile on his fare when he is doing his Chemistry experiments. Everything that BUI doea is undertaken with his whole heart and mind, no matter if it be studies or jokes. Bill will always be thought of in future years by his fellow- students from Aquina Institute as a keen pursuer of a prosperous business HENRY EDWARD GILLETTE 177 Brow n Street Hank'' Cathedral Grammar In sport, in studies, in business life, in professional life, invariably the aggressor is the person who succeeds It is his manner, his initiative which forces him into the front ranks of nil work that he is interested in. There is one man in this class whom we are able to cull the ‘Aggressor.” and that man is Henry Gillette. He, by his constant, hard, aggressive school work, has attained a high standing in our class. We all sincerely hope that Hank will continue that spirit of aggressiveness in the business world and. if he does, success will be immediate. Don't weaken. Hank. VINCENT JOSEPH FESS “Vinft 44 Warner Street Holy Family Yin has shown throughout our four years' association that he is always on top for the perpetual smile. He has demonstrated to us, throughout this time, his ambition and ability as a student. Although he is inclined to be quiet, his nature is anything but solemn. His spirit is one of a conqueror, for he conquers his studies as Caesar did Gaul We hope the best of success to you. Yin, as well as an abundance of prosperity in later life. nine
