TOMASELLI, LOUIS B. 81 Jay Street Louie Cathedral Grammar School A fine student, a sincere friend and a close follower of Aquinas sporting activities is Louie. He usually greets us with a smile, which reaches from ear to ear. Louie is an ardent pupil along mathematical lines and plans to study medicine in the future. Doctor Lorenz, look to your laurels! TREMER, CARL E. 562 Wellington Ave. “Carl” St. Monica’s School Carl has been proclaimed systematic and man-like. He has attained success in athletics, music, his studies, and, although he attempts to conceal it, in a certain social complication known as romanticv Continue with the same energy, Carl, and with the profits of your first concert you will be able to build the requisite asylum for physics’ teachers. TROY, GERALD P. 62 Austin Street “Pat” Holy Apostles’ School Pat is a continual violator of an old adag for he is both seen and heard. He has donned long trousers, though we know not why unless it be to preserve the dignity of his seniordom. Several kegs of cod-liver oil, if partaken of regularly, might correct his physical briefness. Withal, great oaks from little acorns grow. WALDERT, LEO W. 86 Alameda Street “Leo Nazareth Hall. Through shell rims peer two keen eyes, the optics of Leo. They denote the profundity and intensity of his contemplation. A basketball manager whom petites mademoiselles gaze upon in awed admiration. Those damsels see not the potential power beneath his natty appearance. His suave demeanor will surely carry him to a lofty rung on the social ladder. twenty-two

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

A TThc Irerte WHELEHAN, GEORGE B. 4110 Lake Avenue “Stretch Holy Cross School Charlotte is well represented by George. His dazzling ties and socks add much to his reputation. Stretch was a big success as an usher at the basketball games. In all school activities, he stood out, or up from the crowd. He often springs a new joke and is always smiling. It is also rumored that he studies. WINKLER, JOSEPH J. 453 Augustine St. “Joe St. Francis de Sales School Utica Joe’s brilliant head piece is not the only notorious feature of this young man. He is a zealous scholar and his accomplishment along musical lines threatens the supremacy of Fritz Kreisler. He is a member of the famed Virgil class, which is of course a mark of distinction in itself. Here’s to you, O flaming youth! WOERNER, DONALD E. 68 Merriman St. “Don St. Francis’ School Don is a serious-minded individual. He enters seriously into everything he undertakes. It has even been reported that he takes books home at night. His genius is directed chiefly along mathematical lines and we all expect him to startle the world some day by his achievements in mechanical enginering. YAWMAN, PHILIP H. “Phil 2290 East Ave. Nazareth Hall Although encumbered by numerous social duties, a carefree nature and a Chandler, Phil manages to make a very creditable record as a student. Not demonstrative, he is far from being quiet. A few minutes with Phil dispels the worst case of blues. R. P. I. is to be congratulated on this unit of next year’s freshman class. twenty-three
