A TThir Tv'etc MAYER, LEONARD M. 47 Avenue A. “Len St. Michael’s School Len is a quiet, retired chap and during the last four years we have never seen his sedate demeanor ruffled in the least. He claims to be a lover of the classics and his extensive library bears witness to the fact. Len will reach his mark without fail. McCORMICK, FREDERICK A. 45 Cameron St. “Mac” Holy Apostles’ School Mac is a valuable asset to our class. He has the happy faculty of “catching” some jokes which are cracked during the course of a school day. His melodious voice bespeaks ease but he is on the contrary most active in every undertaking. Whether Mac becomes a plumber or a philosopher, he can’t be stopped. 4 McGRATH, JOHN L. 360 Clay Avenue “Lefty” Cathedral Grammar School Johnny is a loyal student. He lends his support to all scholastic and athletic activities and does his best to keep things moving. In class he often shows evidence of study. This and a desire to cheer up fellow students are his chief assets. As official fraternity man of the class, he is truly a brother. McNALLY, JOHN D. 266 Lincoln Ave. “Yanrw Holy Apostles’ School Behold our bashful hero! The great defensive star on the basketball court maintains a dread of speaking in assembly, an event which he has always successfully avoided. “Yanno” is as good-natured as he is bashful and his courtly manner has made him scores of friends. The darling of the gods, that’s “Yanno.” eif kteen

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

A TThe lYetc McVEAN, MALCOLM 5 Fenwick Street “Red” Immaculate Conception School Don Rojo is another prominent Spaniard and he would make an ideal “inamorato” for a gay Spanish “ancha.” His “amours” are well known in Rochester. Red likes to travel and has had numerous adventures on the highways. In later life he intends to see the world as a commercial traveler. He always will be remembered by his stirring epigrammatic utterances. MINELLA, FRANCIS M. 164 Frank St. “Frank” Cathedral Grammar School Frank is a searcher. He has a kleptomania for causes and effects; he must have them. He is not skeptical, merely cautious. Fortune will be his bride if he continues to surmount difficulties as he has handicaps. MOORE, RICHARD W. 1382 Dewey Ave. “Dinty” Holy Apostles’ School Only the corners of his mouth widen as Dinty smiles so spontaneously across the meat counter at some vexed customer. No, the customer isn’t feminine. Dinty just breathes good nature into the life of everyone. Studies are difficult but we are apt to doubt the fact when we observe the ease with which Dinty assimilates knowledge. O’BRIEN, MAURICE W. 30 Brooklyn St. “Maurice Holy Rosary School Maurice’s apparent attitude would lead one to suppose that he is of the school of Zeno. We have never known him to evince any expression of exultance, either by his countenance or his voice. But appearances are faulty, we cannot evaluate a man for what he seems. Maurice’s mental process continues though his voice is still. nineteen
