JOSEPH ROBERT McGRAIL Hob 837 South C'linton Street St. Boniface Bob in one of the most popular fellow in the school. Him quiet demeanor nnd winning personality have endeared him to his fellow Aq ui ni a ns. He can generally be seen on the corner at Weber's having a little tussle with Hill O’Reilly. His manly form in an Aauinas banket hall uniform excited the admiration of all the Maroon and White rooters. Aside from his fine work on the basketball court, he has shown some real ability in his classes, nnd we expect that Aquinas will have turned out another fine man in Robert McGrail. His literary ability was well-evidenced in the masterpieces he composetl during his high school course nnd he is also a cartoonist of no mean ability He was a hard worker for all school activities and his school spirit we respect and admire. If he puts the same spirit into hia life work, we know that Robert McGrail will be a great success. ROBERT FREDERICK McGRAW Hob 271 I tart mouth Street Nasareth Hall Academy Hercules may have been a Roman but Bob resales in Rochester. Do not infer though that Bob is entirely a man of site He came to Aquinas in 21 ami is carrying off his diploma in three years. This is really an accomplishment Imm-uusc in spite of his excellent qualities Bob enjoys the blissfulness of the absence of books. Bob does not talk the loudest but his popularity surely stands out. Wishing Bob success is a waste of time for he will get it anyway. ROY FRANCIS McMahon Mae 102 Flower City Bark Barred Heart '.l ui ' a feather anti a chief a rotl.
