A TThe Tret BUNCE, JOHN P. 124 Villa Street “Yannic Holy Apostles’ School Here is the “Ring Lardner” of the class! John’s curt comments and humorous “cracks” are the source of much merriment. The skating season finds him at his best for then he makes numerous hits with the fair damsels, who take advantage of the healthful exercise. He is popular with everyone. Beware of thin ice, Yannic. BURNS, JOSEPH L. 466 Murray St. “Joe Holy Apostles’ School Joe Burns and the Arete are inseparable; for it was due largely to our vice-president’s pleadings that this book received the neeessary financial backing to put it across. Joe is a hard worker and a credit to his class. His comradeship has increased his popularity and no gathering is complete without him. Good luck, Joe! CALLAGHAN, GERALD 95 Clay Avenue “Jerry St. Augustine’s School Jerry is an example of what a well-dressed cheer leader should wear. Even if he is inclined to be studious, it should not be held against him. It is even considered by some as a virtue. Jerry is goodnatured and a center of attraction at basketball games as well as after. He is also a financial genius. CALLAHAN, CHARLES E. “Charlie 520 Seneca Parkway Nazareth Hall Charlie is a very active member of our class. Aside from selling tickets at the basketball games he belongs to practically every committee organized by the seniors. He is a worker, as may be seen from the fact that he is now engaged in mastering the intricate constructions of Virgil. Keep up the good work, Charlie! thirteen

A TFhe Jrtrte BONN, JOHN PAUL 136 Lake Avenue “Bonnie” Cathedral Grammar School John, our great boy agnostic, easily achieves wonder feats, such as his mark in Intermediate. Always doubting ancient facts, ever questioning learned professors, he strolls, with childish smile, through all paths of knowledge. His ruddy face laughs away our troubles, his profound mind solves our petty problems. John, the humorist, is the mental giant of outclass. BRACH, JOSEPH S. Joe 838 Norton Street St. Stanislaus’ School Joe is the silent partner. He does the work but his efforts are never accredited by his fellows. He one day astounded the Virgil class by the statement, “1 am the beautiful Aeneas.” Only the first qualification is applicable. He is not Aeneas. Nothing not perfect ever receives Joe’s approval. BRADY, GODFREY J. 977 St. Paul St. Scotty St. Bridget’s School Scotty’s fair locks are admired by everyone, but he is by no means as gentle as he looks. He is most versatile, studying hard one moment and pounding some one’s back equally as hard in the next. In serious moments he is an excellent orator and an adept at argumentation. A gentleman and a scholar is Scotty and we wish him prosperity. BROGAN, JOHN R. D. 6, Greece, N. Y. “Johnny” Immaculate Conception School John Brogan, the twin, the cold searcher after facts, the sophisticated enthusiast, strides through school and life with observant eye and meditative mien. He tells the truth however bluntly. Many a trying situation he converts into a laughable circumstance for which he has the deep gratitude of his companions. The world will soon be at his feet. twelve

A '(The T CLARK, JAMES D. W. Jimmy 26 Normandy Ave. Nazareth Hall Jimmy may be awarded the jester’s cap of this class but he is by no means the class fool. “Laugh and the world laughs with you” is his motto and he lives up to it. A wave of good-natured fun accompanies him everywhere and is received gleefully by his fellow students. Good luck, Jim, and may you alivays find something to laugh at. CONNELLY, DANIEL M. 412 Sawyer St. Did” St. Monica’s School Did has a passion (sine requiete) for travel and his hardy nature has aided him in many an ordeal on these perilous tours. He persists in baffling Father Grady during recitations by his questions and answers. He is also valuable as a song and dance artist although he can do neither. Bon voyage, Did. CUNNINGHAM, FRANK E. Clayton St. “Frank” Holy Cross School Frank is the champion book reader of Charlotte, it being rumored that he frequently visits the library. Whether these visits are made to look at books or the pretty girl visitors has never been discovered. Besides being a star in class, Frank is quite a pool shark. Forestry is his favorite profession, in which we know he will succeed. DORSCHEL, JOHN H. “Doc” 184 Curlew St. Holy Rosary School John is possessed of a long-enduring patience. He has been the butt of numerous practical jokers. However, his own nature is a more serious one. His affection for Caesar transcends all other emotions of his heart. He is at present preparing his own version of the “Commentaries.” Give us your hand on the project, Doc! fourteen
