COMERFORD, J. GARRETT “GARY” 215 Magee Avenue Nazareth Hall “Gary’s” nonchalance and calm dignity are the envy of the senior class. However, this dignity is a cloak that hides a dry hu¬ mor which has brightened many days. Any member of Father Mallon’s French II class can vouch for “Gary’s” wit. The bar will lose a good man if Gary refuses to join the ranks. Cory, William “bill” 78 Aurora Street St. Andrew’s School Gaze with awe on “Pro¬ fessor Cory”; let not your heart be softened by the curl in his hair. Bill is the discoverer of the famous “habeas corpus’ ' germ of wide fame. His classmates were astonished by the knowledge that Bill was anything but a rival of Mathewson, as his pitching has proved. Costello, John William “johnny” 1 Nursery Street St. John, the Evangelist “Johnny’s” dancing feet and crooning voice have put him on a plain by him¬ self and we warn Rudy Vallee to look to his lau¬ rels. We all hope to see “Johnny’s” name on the Great White Way, some day. The proof of his ath¬ letic abilities lies in his record in the homeroom basketball tournament. Dennis, Harold “denny” 143 Rand Street Sacred Heart School Meet“Denny,” our writ¬ er, debator, and athlete. In truth, he is the complete man. “Denny” is well de¬ serving of our praise for his service on our basket¬ ball team. “Denny’s” great¬ est claim to fame lies in his ability to wield a pen and he bids fair to challenge William Shakespeare at his own game. De Sando, Carl James “duke” 28 Parkdale Terrace Sacred Heart School “Duke” is our violinist of genius who led the Aquinas orchestra on its foreign expeditions. Four years with the bow have made “Duke” a valuable addition to our orchestra. Music is not his ambition, however, for “Duke” plans to wield a surgeon’s knife. Success, Doc. Di Fiore, Foster J. “daffy” 230 Titus Avenue Mt. Carmel School “Daffy” is our ideal of the Master of the Arts. Thespian, musician and business man, Foster has a worthy right to the name. Who can forget “Daffy” in the role of po¬ liceman in our own Senior play? Keep us in mind when you reach success, “Daffy”. Maybe, you can hire Borsa as a promoter. nineteen

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

Doohan, Francis “fran” Magee Avenue John Marshall School “Fran” is one of the silent members of the class. His classmates are not de¬ ceived by his silence, and expect big things from “Fran” in whatever line he enters. We know that such diligence and applica¬ tion cannot go unrewarded. It is with deep confidence in his ability that we say “au revoir”. Draxl, Paul A. “dutch” 54 Gilbert Drive St. Boniface School Although not a member of the Turn Verein, “Dutch” can put to shame any of t he i r champions. Our cheerleader knows his megaphone and his efforts with the Freshman cheer¬ ing section are sufficient proof of his perseverance. With hearty wishes, we bid adieu to Isadora Duncan’s only rival. Dwyer, Edmund D. “ed” 6 Rand Place Pittsford High School Although Ed has been with us only a year, he has entered into the spirit of Aquinas easily and has won many friends. How we envy Ed for his daily trips on the Lake Ave. Car, but it seems that some fellows have all the luck. Ed is a natural student, a fine pal and a willingwork- er. Look out for“Dugouts” and P. D. O.’s Ed and you will be all okay”. Dwyer, William C. “bill” 3 Burke Terrace Sacred Heart School “Hoc opus, hie labor est.” Whenever Bill sees this, “revocat gradum” for in spite of his leaning to¬ ward Virgil and his cease¬ less back-slapping Bill does not exert himself. He is on the Business Committee and is an ardent supporter of class activities. Bill is undecided about his future but he plans to “burn up” Holy Cross for the next four years. Be careful Bill, “facilis discensus Averno.” Eadie, Jack W. “jack” 24 Miner Street Sacred Heart School And here we have one of the finest men in the Senior Class. Jack allows us to rush in and give the wrong answer, then he so lordly and quietly corrects us. His high marks in English explain his presence on the Literary committee and his charter membership in the French Club is evidence of his scholarly mind. Both the faculty and student body join in wishing Jack all the success in the world. Enright, Joseph D. “joe” 1547 South Avenue St. Mary’s School We will admit that it looks suspicious but Joe’s address is not 1500 South Ave. Sometimes Joe gives the impression of being very erudite, but only strangers are deceived by it. Joe is not easily trou¬ bled and is content to let the other fellow do the manual labor while he sup¬ plies the brains. In spite of the fact that “il ne fait que jouer,” Joe is bound to come out in the lead. twenty
