KIIAN(’IS JOSEPH HIJBTHKL “Frank” 253 Child Street Holy Family Behold a member of our Class Board of Strategy because of his fatherly advice and philosophical deduction . At time , however, he is full of mirth because of his rimmI sense of humor Hi record a a scholar excels that of any one of his classmates. The dissatisfaction which he expressed in receiving only ninety-seven per cent in intermediate algebra shows that he is always out for a higher mark. It seems that he has accomplished every work which he has tackled Therefore there is not a doubt in our minds that he will prove himself a success as a railroad man. FRANK ST1 ART BI RD ” Frofemmtr” 145 Mount Vernon Avenue St Mary's Noah Webster and Frank have much in common. One has written a dictionary; the other is fully capable of surpassing him by his great command of long words -hyper-polysyTlabic, sesquipedalians, a he would remark without any apparent effort I'sually he is taciturn and unassuming, but in his excellent essays and ready arguments on profound topics, his broad knowledge, keen observations, and deep thinking forcibly assert themselves. In the English class he is unsurpassed especially in the art of composition. He takes a great interest in chemistry Despite this scientific propen ity, hi sole ambition is to become an author, to 1m a regular contributor to the “Atlantic Monthly” and to posses several shelves of his own work in hi already wcll filled library. J.KO JOHN BRONS .Sp vs 41 Wondwnrd Street Corpus Christi Specs is a firm believer in the old adage. I augh and the world laugh with you. and he certainly lives up to his lM lief for there is a standing reward for anybody who ever saw him doing otherwise. Besides being a player on the Reserve Basketball team, he is a member of the Hermits and a prominent figure in all their meeting . We feel that there is a great humorist lost in Specs and we expect to hear of his supplanting Will Rogers in that field, but whatever he enters in the future, be it public or private life, if he applies that same stick-to-it-iveness and energy that he now applies to his studies, we feel that he will make whatever goal he aspires to fire

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
