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

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

Ernst, Louis J. “louis” 25 Darwin Street St. John the Evangelist Louis says he can cut the whiskers off a taran¬ tula at fifty yards with a .45, but we will let that go unchallenged. However, he is quite an expert on math, firearms, photography and hardware—Louis is anoth¬ er of the backstage men— the scene-shifters who helped put over the two plays. Louis is headed for a successful engineering career with the best wishes of his classmates. Estrada, Frank J. “frank” 19 Thayer Street Blessed Sacrament School Would that Blessed Sac¬ rament provided more like Frank. He can truly be called a Christian gentle¬ man. Frank was president of the now dormant Sci¬ ence Club; he is our class secretary, is a member of the St. Thomas Club and the French and Math clubs besides being an asset to our rising thespians. We are sure that Frank will find success and perhaps he can design our offices in a few year.s Farren, Arthur P. “art” 176 Middlesex Road St. John the Evangelist Art is a member of that illustrious Virgil class. His classical mind has stood him well in his many literary endeavors. H i s success as “Benny the Duck” in our Senior play was complete. However, Art carries his acting to the class room, being espe¬ cially proficient in reply¬ ing to “Num paravisti?” When you head the Asso¬ ciated Press, Art, give us a little publicity. Foery, Walter W. “walt” 59 Amerige Park St. Bridget’s School Few Seniors can boast of Walt’s record. He has tak¬ en four years of math be¬ sides making a regular ap¬ pearance on the honor roll. The Parent-Teacher meet¬ ing brought out something we have always suspected —that Walt does not have to work for his high marks. He intends to swell the ranks of the civil engi¬ neers that Aquinas is send¬ ing out this year and he has our best wishes. Fox, James “jim” Alameda Street Blessed Sacrament School This is to introduce one of our number who never allows his school work to interfere with the pursuit of pleasure. Jim refuses to be worried and is at a loss to knowwhy he should take anything, including him¬ self, seriously. However, he has that quality of good cheer and personality which will enable him to go over big in any gathering. Furtherer, Charles M. “CHARLIE” 500 Seneca Parkway Nazareth Hall Here is a most versatile fellow. “Charlie” is one of the few Seniors with four years of math and Latin. Besides dramatics, oratory and golf, he is encumbered with numerous social ac¬ tivities and an Auburn convertible. “Dr. Gaunt” in our senior play will be changed to Dr. Furtherer, surgeon, when he finishes at McGill. Good luck, “Charlie”, and don’t break the floor board with your accelerator. ' •I . ' - - twenty-one
