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

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

SLAVIN, HOWARD B. Pat Genesee Valley Park St. Monica’s School Pat is a true type of a dignified senior. His fiery orations in our oral English classes have held us spellbound for minutes at a time. Besides, Pat is a writer of no mean repute as the pages of this book testify. He finds most of his enjoyment in basketball and golf. His winning personality and quiet manner will win him a place of prominence in the world. STREB, ELMER J. Elmer” 221 Sanford Street St. Boniface School His peculiar vocal abilities have brought fame and glory to Elmer during his stay at Aquinas. Elmer claims he can imitate any professor in the school and his exploits in the study hall bear out this fact. He wishes to be numbered among the drug store cowboys of the school, while his ambition in life is to write his own version of Caesar’s Gallic Wars. SULLIVAN, VINCENT G. 71 Otis Street “Vin Holy Apostles’ School “A man beyond his years,’’ Vin’s serious stoicism fits him for a position as principal of a high school. His turbulent hair is apt for the musical career towards which his interest leads him. Father Bruton was once enraged, in orchestra practice, at the squeaking of some one’s chair but he calmed when the noise was traced to Vin’s violin. SWARTELE, GEORGE F. 720 Hudson Ave. “Jack Holy Redeemer School Jack has won much success on the gridiron and the diamond but his real fame rests in his ability as a scholar. The learned professors are driven to despair trying to keep him awake in class. His rank as a theologian, according to Father Grady, is secure. However, Jack is a good scout and without doubt will achieve his life’s ambition. twenty-one
