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

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

O’NEIL, EMMETT F. 11 Argyle Street “Emmett” Immaculate Concep- tion School Emmett is another of our silent partners. Although he is not often heard, he is always with us. He can be counted upon in every need. He is an artist, as the inside covers of his books reveal but he is also a student as any member of the Virgil class will testify. The thinker sets enshrined in silence. PANETTIERE, VINCENT J. “Vincent” 160 Campbell Street St. Peters Paul’s School Vincent is among the few retired and quiet members of our class. His keen mind is supreme in the field of mathematics, at which he excels. His ability in juggling figures outstrips his other powers. Vincent is also inclined towards the study of Latin and, at times, he has even been accused of studying Cicero at home. RILEY, THOMAS F. 152 Santee Street “Tom Holy Family School Introducing the class president. He has wonderful lung development which is very useful in our senior meetings. Tom is a fine example of a loyal and hardworking student. His efforts have carried many school activities to success. Wherever he is, he is the center of a group in which trouble does not remain long. QUINLAN, J. WILLIAM 59 Salina Street “Bill St. Augustine’s School Bill has been with us but a short time, yet he has made a fine impression in that time. His sight translations are a feature of the Virgil class. His spirits are irrepressible and infectious. In his own neighborhood, “Honey Boy” has a reputation as a heartbreaker and home-wrecker. He also shone during the past year as a cheerleader. twenty
