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

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

Hoffman, Carl J. We understand that Carl is going to be hired by the Five and Dime to demon¬ strate Yo-Yos (what a wicked Yo-Yo he swings!) Father Morgan nearly died when he caught Carl smoking on the train to Syracuse. Notre Dame has claimed this student and we know that his mates will choose him the 1932 captain of its Yo-Yo team. So long, Carl. Hoffman, Norbert N. “Nibbs’ ” ready smile and quick wit have gained for him a high place in the hearts of his classmates. His witty speeches as Chairman of the Commer¬ cial Class did much to in¬ crease this popularity. “Nibbs” was one of the outstanding players in the Intra-Mural league, and his steady nerve and sure eye brought more than one victory to his team. May your eye never falter, Nibbs. Hoover, Embert J. Here we have one of the most versatile young men in the school. Besides be¬ ing a creditable baseball, basketball and ping-pong player, he excels many oth¬ ers in studies. His record at Aquinas proves him to be of the highest type (anyone on the Saint Thomas Club must be). Emo is planning to be an engineer and build bridges. God guide your footsteps, Emo! Huber, Theodore C. Can you imagine any¬ one’s getting hot when thrown in the snow? Ask Ted if it isn’t possible. But seriously, he is an ardent lover of sports and a good student. We hope he will remember us when he is head of the Rochester D. P.W. Ted, some of us may want jobs. We’ll see you subsequently. Hudson, Charles F. We have many questions to ask about “Chuck.” Will he ever lose his smile? Does he ever look into that great stack of books he carries? What is the story about the “cutest little babe”? He is one of the “Three Muske¬ teers” of glorious memory. Carry this remembrance with you, Chuck. Horn, Robert E. Aquinas Institute has sheltered Bob for the past four years and now regret¬ fully turns its affable charge over to St. Mi¬ chael’s College. His one failing is throwing erasers at Keenahan at the most unexpected times. All in all, Bob is a fine fellow and as we bid him adieu, we hope that he advances in life as fast as he does in the lunch line. huenty-four
