A TThe Tre'tc- GRAY', ALEXANDER Alex Rush, N. Y. Rush Union School Alex comes from the wilds of Rush, but he always manages to get here. Studies never seem to bother him and he never bothers them. Alex is the leading light of the chemistry class when there is one. His line never fails to cause a laugh in class or out, and because of this he is always welcome wherever he goes. HASENAUER, GERARD J. “Jerry” 57 Trafalgar Street St. Peters Paul’s School Gerard is usually hard to find, being hidden behind his books. This accomplishment seems in danger of extinction in the A. I. R. so he is to be congratulated. Such studious habits do not prevent his interest in school affairs or in spreading a joke. Although quiet he is not. gloomy and is liked by everyone. HURLEY, LEO A. 42 Doran Street Leo” Immaculate Conception School Leo is a burner of the midnight oil. Long after school is dismissed, he may be found diligently working out the complex problems of intermediate. However this strenuous tax on his brain has not affected Leo’s disposition, which is very pleasant. He greatly enjoys any sort of fun and is always with us in every undertaking. KENNEDY, JOSEPH P. 52 Atkinson St. “Joe Cathedral Grammar School Behold our modest court-leader! Joe, as everyone knows, is a star court performer. His achievements in other fields, however, are numerous. He is a pool player of no mean ability and besides is well versed in the manly art of self-defense. A grateful student body is behind his rush to fame. sixteen

A TThc Tretc: DRUMM, GREGORY V. 86 Wilsonia Road Greg Corpus Christi School Gregory, the other twin, is a lad of complex natures. A serious, philosophical soul he is, yet don’t think him a bore; for intrinsically combined with this trait is a keen humor and a winning personality that gain him many friends. With these qualifications nothing short of an effigy in the Hall of Fame will satisfy us, Greg. FITZPATRICK, JOSEPH J., 51 Pembroke St. “Fits” Blessed Sacrament School A wise man with a sense of humor—that’s Joe. Every afternoon at three o’clock he thrills the girls in Sibley’s office as he makes his appearance. Joe’s wise cracks are the feature of any class he attends, while his hard working ways have won the approval of all his less industrious brethren. FLYNN, WILLIAM J. 257 Magee Ave. Bill Nazareth Hall If beauty sleeps were as effective as imagined, Bill would be in Hollywood. Father Grady frequently reminds him to sleep nights. We believe that the girl Bill raves about must be the original “Sleepy-Time gal.” When not sleeping he is engaged in arguing with Mr. Ryan or in “staring contests.” His name wins him many friends. FOLEY, JEROME 76 Electric Avenue Jerry Bethlehem High School Bethlehem, Pa. Jerry saunters down the hall, books in arm and deep in thought, probably pondering an obscure exemplification in chemistry. He places among his immense store of technical knowledge a sunny disposition which ever lightens our glum moments. We can readily visualize him as a master chemist, pouring radium from tube to tube. fifteen

tThtr Tret r LANG, WILLIAM A. Bill KRESS, HAROLD J. 300 Thurston Road Hal St. Peters Paul’s School A flashy third sacker in baseball and a smashing fullback on the gridiron yet meek and gentle in the classroom—this can be truly said of Hal. He is Ray White’s companion in wickedness and is always ready with a good joke. Up and at ’em, Hal. 3 Mozart Place St. Michael’s School “Old Faithful” Bill, when he is not at work in school, is laboring elsewhere. The application of his energy ranges from managing a bowling league to writing for a newspaper. The world of letters is assured of a deserving member when Bill has developed himself. Goodbye, Bill, and don’t forget to write. MARKS, THOMAS F. Tom MAHER, AUGUSTINE F. 146 Linden St. “Gus’’ Immaculate Concep- tion School Gus has been with us but a short time yet he has won the friendship of the entire class by his goodnaturedness. Sorry to say, however, Gus takes his studies seriously, a sad mistake and he is even reported to study at home. However, our best wishes go with him even if he does burn the midnight oil. 44 Lenox Street St. Monica’s School A sturdy, well-set lad, that’s Tom. Three years with both our baseball and basketball teams have made him a rugged athlete. With whimsical smile, he likes to listen to others, but when things go wrong, Tom, cool as an iceberg, steps forward to adjust them. In games and life, steadfast Tom perseveres to a victorious end. seventeen
