M. X ,Af 'fe-'V 0' ' if ! li. .. , '3' Ti? X ff A LOUIS ERDMAN A good-looking chap and yet he's bashful. Wake up. Lou. Take advantage of your .opportunity and go around breaking a few feminine hearts. Lou comes and goes. but is rarely noticed because of his quiet manner. However. he gives much of his time to the school and has been rewarded with membership in the Senate and the Council. Lou is an unwelcome sight to latecomers for he usually greets them with You're late, this way to the late desk. The clothing line seems to hold a charm for Lou. for at present, he has a iob with a clothier, and that is more than most of us can boast of. s FRANK FEMINELLA Frank's name, according to an ancient language, signifies little woman. Which means tat something must be wrong. Frank was so anxiou be e the Senate and the Council that he wore 't airs of shoes in collecting attendance slips. Frank 's research worker. He once heard that a camel can st y g t days without water. and at present he is engaged in an experiment to find out how long it can sfay with water. S'funny. but the answer seems to be the same. GRACE FERRIGNO if there were a contest for the fastest speaker, Grace would beat Floyd Gibbons. It seems as if somebody wound her up and she never ,had a chance to run down. Tell her that you like mov' s and' dancing and you'll have Grace as your life-long fri . These are two amusements with which she occupies most er time. That isn't all she does: Grace has been working ntinually for Bushwick ever since she entered as a little fresh- n in the Annex. She has been bell-ringer, President of the ex G. O., Vice President of the Annex Service League, and has served as secretary fo many lucky teachers. JOSEPH FERRISQ A combination of class baby and comedian. One look at Frisky's face, however. and the shrubbery will convince you he is over thirteen. Joe is to be envied because he has two orig- inal hobbies. They are listening to frogs croak. and throwing mothballs at caterpillars. He rarely gets angry. but when he does., he can crush a handful of grapes. Such strengthl A great thrill would have been to see Frisky arrive at the Prom in a swal- Iowtail coat and a high hat. He was formerly known as Homer but this appellation was changed to fit conditions. He is an honorary member of both the Senate and the Council. ALBERT FEUCHT Since he came to shwic Scho l, Al has made many im their homework if ems a h ever one is lad f friends. friends who l ly - I he forgot his ow . l - .,. y ' 9 0 see him graduate, seeing 'hi o three years. This is the best part of Al's haracter. If more be said, it would probably cause friction. TWENTY-THREE
