Goetz, Jack G. We present to you the John Gilbert of the Aqui¬ nas Institute, Rochester’s “Select School for high school boys.” Well dressed, he appears to his class¬ mates as the up-to-date student. His humor and friendliness are outstand¬ ing. More than once Jack has shown his ability to draw. We hope to see your work in the art galleries yet, Jack. Gorczynski, Sigmund R. Sig is another silent per¬ son. He probably acquired the habit of silence from his golfing. Silence is a ne¬ cessity of good golf and Sig is no dub at the game. Now that Bobby Jones has turned pro there is a great chance for you, Sig. We may yet see you win the National Open. Makeevery stroke count and we know you’ll break par on the course of life. Griffin, Frank M. Here is another one of those he-men from the wild and woolly West. Frank’s presence is surely a great factor in helping to make our school life a pleasant one, and when he’s gone Aquinas will miss him (so will the Lake Avenue car line). Au revoir, Frank. Don’t crash in on Broad¬ way too quickly:—they may not like it. Gross, Wilfrid J. This ever smiling blond has proven a genial com¬ panion even in the darkest hour. He is known for his easy going manner and his inability to become ruffled however adverse the cir¬ cumstances. Many times his knowledge of German has proved a boon to his classmates. Wilfrid, in all your days to come the Seniors wish you Gluck Auf! Gugino, George A. Behold the man whom studies never bother. George scarcely looks at a book; at least, that’s what he tells us. But his marks tell us a different story— especially his English marks. George intends to go to Alabama U. and we know that he will literally burn up the place. So long, George, we shall miss you. Groh, Donald M. Here is the self-styled hero of the Boy Scouts and the director of these noble lads’ attempts at drama. Don has taken part in sev¬ eral Aquinas plays and has proved himself a worthy actor. He would rather di¬ rect a Scout play than be President of the U. S. A. Keep up the good work, Don, you may be a scout¬ master some day. twcnty-tivo

Fischette, Robert M. If you see what appears to be a big bear running loose around the northeast section of the city, be not affrighted. It’s probably only Bob clad in his big coat. Though quiet out¬ wardly, Bob is full of ac¬ tivity within. His class work attests this. He is an active member of LeCercle Foche, and is especially adept at Mathematics. Good luck, Bob. Flynn, John M. When we say that Red is all aflame we do not nec¬ essarily refer to his hair. Someone said that the sweet sound of Cicero’s translations is responsible for his drowsiness in Latin Class. We all regard Red as the ideal friend and his generous Irish smile will help him along in life. We know you’ll be a great suc¬ cess, Red, so carry on. Foery, Frank R. After four years we are convinced that Frank is really bashful. But this does not decrease his pop¬ ularity with his class¬ mates. His blush seems to be a magnet drawing friendship to him. Being so powerful in mind and character, he cannot but overcome all obstacles in his way. We hope your en¬ gineering feats are as suc¬ cessful as your sc hool work, Frank. Gallivan, John A. If we can judge the met¬ ropolis of Mount Morris by its gift to Aquinas, our opinion is of the highest degree; for, although Jack has been with us but a year, he has made all of us his friends. Moreover, we understand that Jack is a prominent social light (rurally). If he shines as brilliantly in business as he does on the dance floor, we are confident of his success. Geyer, Delbert J. Mr. Hurley has a great friend in Del and we sup¬ pose that is because they have a common interest, Latin. Del is a good fellow and a fine debator. In fact a student has yet to win a debate from him. Go to it, Del, you may be arguing on the floor of the United States Senate yet. Gillooly, John F. Paul Poiret has nothing- on our John. After four years as a connoisseur of fashion he is at last ready to step forth and take his place as dictator. He is partial to orange ties (he should be with a name like Gillooly) so if the fad sweeps the country, be as¬ sured John had something to do with it Good luck, Johnnie. Our loss is Sears- Roebuck’s gain. twenty-one

Gunn, George E. Aquinas football team missed a great quarter¬ back when this little man of muscle failed to go out for the team. He is as ac¬ tive and hard-hitting as any of the big men of the school. What Mike lacks in weight he makes up in spirit. With such a char¬ acter we look for great things from this man. Look to your laurels, Ca- rideo and Freedman! Hall, William E. Here’s our amateur (and how amateur) chemist who likes to do his experiments in English class, much to Father Morgan’s disgust. Bill is rather quiet and we haven’t seen anything yet that could make him move fast. Some distant day, Bill is going to surprise the world of science by an¬ nouncing that H.-O is com¬ posed of hydrogen and ox¬ ygen. Au revoir, Hira. Hannan, Edward J. An industrious student whose geniality and good nature coupled with a quiet reserve have made him a friend of every member of our Class is Eddie. Al¬ though his name is not al¬ ways to be found on the honor roll, Hannan has truly achieved success and has earned a place deep in the heart of every teacher in Aquinas. Keep plugging, Eddie! Hayes, Richard H. Dick is another student who likes to mystify his teachers and make them think he’s dumb; but we know otherwise. He is well- liked by his classmates and the students of a school on Lake Avenue. Dick is rather quiet but very wit¬ ty. He likes to swim (es¬ pecially in the school pool) and we know he’ll do his bit to see that future Aqui¬ nas boys enjoy the pool also. Heller, Henry J. Greece has a great deal to boast of since it’s from there that Hank hails.Fre¬ quently he is seen on Lake Avenue in his car. We wonder why. Hank plans to go to college and we know he’ll be another “country lad who made good.” So long, Hank, and don’t let the rattles of that McCormack reaper (Es¬ sex) bother you. Hepp, John E. John is the essential part of Mr. Martin’s 3:15 peri¬ od. Day by day his smile as well as his corridor racket is becoming better known to us all. Here is a member of our dramatic club — and what a deaf aunt he makes! John is very ambitious but so was Caesar. So long, John,keep on spreading the good cheer and see if we care. twenty-three
