Keeling, Gordon A. Besides being Mike Leary’s only rival for the Yo-Yo championship, Gor¬ die is an expert at snappy remarks. Many a good laugh has he given us. Gordie has aspirations of becoming an aeronautical engineer. If he knows his planes as well as his Yo- Yo, he cannot but make a success of his work. On leaving, we say good luck and happy landings. Keenahan, Gerard E. Jerry is very punctual— he never misses being late at least once a week. We’ll have to excuse him though —look where he comes f r o m. Even though he hails from the sticks, he succeeds in making the hon¬ or roll regularly. Evident¬ ly Father Dwyer’s words last year found a response in him for he claims he is going to St. Michael’s Col¬ lege. Good luck, Gerard. Kelly, Daniel J. Dan Kelly’s long sojourn with the never-to-be-for- gotten Mr. Ripley should entitle him to become a civics teacher. But Dan has ambitions in higher and more glorious fields. Those of his friends who were privileged to be pres¬ ent at his noon-hour lec¬ tures on chemistry, physics and astronomy know that Dan is destined to become an Einstein or a Galileo. Good-bye, Dan, and may you someday subjugate that blond cowlick. Hughes, Richard J. Hail to our actor extra¬ ordinary! Can anyone for¬ get his fainting act in the Senior Play? No locked doors can keep Dick from attaining success.Wethink he has a weakness for pretzels if his studying German me ans anything. Keep going, Dick, your name may yet be seen on Broadway. Junker, Edward W. This is our one and only walking machine shop. He has a hobby of collecting and making models of all kinds, with which he helped or hindered Father Kohl, last year, in the instruc¬ tion of the physics class. He is a jolly good fellow, although he has been called suave and smooth. Some day we may ride in an airplane designed by our famous “Ned,” aero¬ nautical engineer, honor graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Keefe, Maurice J. “Marblehead” has ambi¬ tions along mechanical lines. His great aim in life is to obtain a degree in mechanical engineering. But his immediate aim seems to be that of draw¬ ing cartoons in Mr. O’Con¬ nell’s class, so that faculty member can destroy them. He has displayed through¬ out the year a weakness for peanuts of the fourteen cents a pound variety. Maybe he will become a peanut vendor?

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

Kelly, Eugene T. “Pooch” was one of the cheerleaders who instilled moral support for the team into the student body in the form of cheers. A tech¬ nical course at Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute is the next stop for “Pooch.” He was the despair of Father Newcomb last year in Physics by his tempera¬ mental displays of genius and then his inevitable slumps. May the best of luck be yours, Pooch! Kirk mire, William J. Some day perhaps we will again have the pleas¬ ure of meeting our fellow classmate when we are the fathers of his history stu¬ dents, for Bill intends to teach history. He is like the other members of the famous (or infamous) trio, a generous friend, a help¬ ful classmate and an all- around good fellow who gets himself and others in¬ to trouble by his pranks. There is where his smile helps him. Kelly, Victor F. “Lefty” is one of the fa¬ vored few who had the privilege of belonging to the science club. He is a true scientist for, verily, woman hath no charms for him, in spite of his wavy locks. Added to his exten¬ sive work in chemistry, he finds time to play on the baseball team and to top a few golf balls occasion¬ ally. “Lefty” is interested in physical education and he is planning to study it at the Ithaca School of Physical Education. Kennedy, J. Bernard Bernie plans to take an M.D. course at the Univer¬ sity of Michigan. In ten years we can all see Bernie as calm, cool and collected as he has always been while in our midst. Bernie is a wizard with the sax, but we won’t hold that against him as he has played an active part in the orchestra. He is also a polished actor having tak¬ en part in our school plays. Good-bye, Bernie, and the best of luck to you! Klein, Robert J. One of the triumvirate of Klem, Klein and Kirk- mire, Incorpolated, whose chief business is borrow¬ ing. He is a generous, good- natured fellow who laughs at trouble. He is never without a cheery smile, and that smile is never more engaging than when he has but a few cents. We know he will succeed in whatever he attempts for he possesses the admirable quality of persistence. Klem, Justin J. Here is the first member of the famous “K” trio. His pet hobby is to be seen behind the wheel of a very ancient automobile, which does run now and then. He is quiet but we think that is just a pose. He is known as the little man with the big voice. Long live the K.K.K. trio! HSISCSpSffTEm twenty-six
