( ' Bourgeois, Charles E. “CHARLIE” 99 Karnes Street St. John the Evangelist Charlie is a hard-hitting, sure-fielding first-sacker in baseball and a speedy, efficient basketball player. He is, also, a good student and a reliable companion, particularly of B e r n i e Hynes. There are numer¬ ous fields of endeavor in which we feel Charlie would succeed. Brunner, Maurice T. “moe” 73 Willis Avenue St. Aloysius School, Auburn, N. Y. “Moe” is excellent proof that “still waters run deep.” He is rather quiet, but we vote unanimously that he knows what he’s talking about. As a lawyer he will be able to use all of his big words, and we are confident of his success as a member of the Bar Association. We rest our case, “Moe”. Brydges, Leslie “les” 453 Averill Avenue St. Mary ' s School Five years from now, when we read the name of Leslie Brydges in the sport columns, we will remember the day he covered the 18 holes at Oak Hill in 100. Les is an average student and a witty man in his lighter moments. He claims that he will be a great lawyer, also. Butler, John “jack” 29 Milton Street St. Joseph’s College Princeton, N. J. Although Jack is a new¬ comer, he has won many friends at Aquinas who ad¬ mire his pleasant smile and his stalwart personality. Jack is a hard worker and the possessor of a real de¬ termination to succeed. With your ability and per¬ severance it will be a cinch, Jack. Cahill, Robert “bob” 17 Floverton Street St. Leo High School, Detroit Bob is generally known to the world as an usher of parts. He came to us from Detriot. He is an art¬ ist of more than ordinary ability, as this book at¬ tests, and a very disap¬ pointed man because of the fact that we have no track team here. Farewell, Bob. Callahan, Edward T. “ed” 520 Seneca Parkway Nazareth Hall Ed surely upholds the tradition of the Callahans in school. In fact, he has outdone some of them. He is always on the top in every form of scholarship, as well as in speaking, in dramatics and in popular¬ ity. Everything points to a glorious career for our Ed. seventeen

Bergevin, George F. “guy i” 13 Fairview Heights Holy Rosary School Whenever “Guy I” sees an airplane, he immediate¬ ly starts dreaming of those happy days, when he will soon soar above the clouds as a member of the Air Corps of Uncle Sam’s Na¬ val Forces. He has high ideas which we all hope he will realize in their fullest measure. Avoid the air- pockets, “Guy I”. Bircher, Clarence A. “guy ii” 1136 Dewey Avenue Sacred Heart School Both “Guy I” and “Guy II” will make splendid young pilots, and we think there will be a contest be¬ tween them to see who wins his wings first. “Guy II” is the type of fellow whom we all want for a friend, and we prophecy much success for him. May you zoom to fame, “Guy II”. Bishopp, Robert J. “bob” 49 Leland Road, Irond. Imm. Conception School There isn’t a fellow in the school who doesn’t know and like “Bob” for he always carries a cheery smile with him. He is a boy who works hard, and he wants to learn civil engi¬ neering. We are confident that “Bob” will succeed at this work, and we wish him the best of luck. So- long, “Bob.” Blonsky, Aloysius B. “toots” 14 Seneca Park Circle Sacred Heart School Here is a future chemist who will delve into matter and extricate unknown substances. “Toots” is a student who really enjoys chemistry. (This is a dis¬ tinction, for there aren’t many who care for this subject). He is well-liked at Aquinas and we predict a bright future for him. Vale, “Toots”. Blum, Herman J. “howie” 13 Herbert Street . Our Lady of Perpetual . Help School Howie seems to be a liv¬ ing contradiction of his philosophy. He holds the South in disdain although he possesses the most southern of southern drawls. He is a golfer of unknown qualities whom we hope to see blossom forth as a rival of Hagen. Stick to it, Howie; success is within your grasp. Borsa, Angelo L. “angelo” 20 Wait Street Mt. Carmel School We have here the hand¬ some butler who played his role so well in “Three Wise Fools.” “Angelo” has also played a fine part in our lives at Aquinas and we know he will not fail in his ambition to be a d o c t o r. Remember to count every stitch, “Angelo.” sixteen

Callahan, Robert L. “bob” 189 Conkey Avenue St. Bridget’s School Here is Mr. Furlong’s delight and the delight of many who know Bob and his pleasing personality. Bob is quite some basket¬ ball player, playing a stel¬ lar role in many of the De- Sotos games. Then, too, he was one of the big guns in the Intramural Tourna¬ ment. Aside from being a scholar and an athlete, he is a gentleman in no small degree. In years to come we shall be proud of Bob’s acquaintance. Carpenter, Lawrence E. “larry” 135 Hobart Street St. Augustine’s School A big, bro ad-shouldered, strong-voiced he-man is Larry. He plows through his books just as he plows through the opposing foot¬ ball team or through a crowd in the corridor. He is witty, too, and is fre¬ quently rash enough to try to outwit Bernard Hen¬ nessey. Carroll, James “jim” 83 River Street Holy Cross School Jim is slim and has a soft voice but on the dia¬ mond he is a crack south¬ paw pitcher. He has a win¬ ning way when off the dia¬ mond, also. Indeed, he is the life of many a class or conversation. So long, Jim, and may you mow down all future opposition in your characteristic way. Clair, Lawrence E. “lawrie” 21 Lark Street Nazareth Hall Overflowing with genu¬ ine joviality, Lawrie fre¬ quently turns a rather dull conversation into a riot of chuckles. He has ability as a student and as an athlete and will next year be grac¬ ing the campus of some fa¬ mous college. Nevertheless, he will still be our Lawrie. Cocuzzi, Frank A. “cuz” 140 Orange Street Jefferson Junior High We introduce the Chair¬ man of our Senior Gift Committee. Frank’s work in this capacity is a testi¬ monial to the Fire and Iron which make him a valuable member of any Senior class. His ready wit and outspoken manner, have left an indelible im¬ pression on his admirers. Happy days, Frank. Colvin, Urban “urbie” 51 Edinburgh Street Immaculate Con. School Here is Friend Urbie, the boy who can make reci¬ tations in Chemistry. (It is a novelty for any man). Usually quiet in school, Urb’s activities outside have gained him some re¬ nown. According to report, Urbie is the cause of many flutters of fair feminine hearts. eighteen
