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

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

A tThcr Tretc Class of 1926 ARDLY have we become acclimated to our new and beautiful surroundings, when it becomes necessary for us to perform one of the unpleasant duties of school life—to say “Vale” to you who are about to pass from our midst. Still, this should not be a disagreeable function, since our labors during the past four years have pointed toward this very event. During these years we have striven to prepare you for the more serious duties and responsibilities which are found outside the schoolroom; to so equip you, mentally and morally, that we might send you forth with confidence in your power to succeed. Your training is now over; life with its numberless opportunities invites you. The desire to withhold you from that very role for which we have prepared and inspired you would be, not only thoughtless, but heartless. It is not, therefore, with sorrow or regret that we address you words of farewell greeting. With joy and gratitude that you are ready for the work which lies before you, we say: Set out, proceed prosperously and reign! The Faculty. twenty-four
