CATHEDRAL COLLEGE HENRY C. KRISCH SAINT PANCRAS PARISH, GLENDALE For thou art Freedoms now and Fame's One of the few, the immortal names, That were not born to die. -Halleck. The rotund gentleman pictured before you is none other than Henry Christian Aloysius Louis Krisch. The jolly humor of this amiable fellow shines through his sparkling eyes, his hearty laughter echoes frequently through the halls. Henry, better known as Hemi, is beloved by all for his frankness, kindness, humility and jovi- ality. The cheery voice of this radiant-eyed cherub has delighted us for many an hour when he appeared in the Saint Francis Players' pro- ductions. We flock to I-term and so prove the poet's statement, Rejoice, and men will seek you. Hemi is a man of many parts. He played Iunior Varsity basketball and wore a Prep uni- form last year. This year he was with the College team. For years he has been a Thes- pian PAR EXCELLENCE. Herm doesn't con- fine his activities to merely mundane thingsg for two years now, he has unselfishly given much of his time to teaching the Catechism. We are proud to hail him as a friend whose memory will linger with us unto the grave. GEORGE F. X. LA FLARE ST. IGNATIUS LOYOLA PARISH, HICKSVILLE Nothing great was ever achieved without en- thusiasmf'--Emerson. George is a chap who is easily excited. This particular quality provides a never-failing source of humor for the class. Not that he is a class wit, however, for he is one of the more serious among us. He belongs to practically every so- ciety in the school. He's a member of the GARGOYLE' Staff, unofficial president of the Achille Ratti Society, member of the St. Francis Players, business manager of this ANNUAL, a participant in the Oratorical contest and a mem- ber of the choir. Despite all these activities, George still finds time to keep among the leaders in his studies. His favorite subject is Communism, which he denounces in no uncertain terms. Frenchy could fill many a volume with his thoughts on the subject. At present he confines his activities in this regard to the elocution class. A few weeks spent in Sixth Year would ex- plain why George is one of the best-liked in the class. His deep sincerity, his fervent piety, and his willing enthusiasm foretell a world of success for George. 24

A N N U A L 1 9 3 6 0 0 JAMES R. HAND SACRED HEART PARISH, CUTCHOGUE The gentle mind. by gentle deeds is knowng For a man by nothing is so well betrayed As by his manners. Neither sleet nor rain nor gloom of night has kept limmy from the completion of his appointed rounds, No, Iirnmy is not a mail-man. He is a pioneer. For who but a pioneer would dare ven- ture from those wilds of Cutchogue to the civiliza- tion and culture of Brooklyn? But, seriously, limmy is a fine, likable fellow. Right from the first day we met him in fourth year, We feel that we took to Iimmy. His ready smile and pleasing disposition would make any- one his friend. To put it mildly, Timmy is a sport lan. He follows all the games. But his one consuming passion is golf. He shoots in the low 70's-and that's playing on any man's course. Iirnmy's marks in class, however, are not at all like his score cards. He shoots high and is well up in all his studies. Keep your eye on the ball, Iimmy, stay clear of the traps and you'll get there-with us pulling for you. JAMES P. HENEGHAN OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP PARISH, BROOKLYN Wise with the wisdom ot ages, Firm as a granite-ribbed mountain, Tender as a woman's song. -Clark. The serious-faced gentleman whom you see is undoubtedly one ot God's greatest gifts to the class. He is a personality conspicuous by his pleasant, cheerful, unobtrusive disposition. Pru- dent and capable, gentle and witty, that is Iim. He ranks well in scholastic achievement. The tact that he rounded out his course at Cathedral by catching on the Prep for several years speaks volumes about him. No one who saw him in action with the College basketball team can say that he failed to profit by his years on the Var- sity squads. He must believe that there will be sleep enough in the grave for he is always active and helpful. lim has the happy faculty of dispelling gloom and dispensing cheer. When he isn't smiling, it is an occasion worthy of note. Most of the World's conquerors have come on horse and armed to the teeth. Iim follows Christ in that his gentleness conquers all. 23

A N N U A L l 9 3 6 ANTHONY F. LO GATTO ST. PATRICICS PARISH, LONG ISLAND CITY A sound Mind in a sound Body, is a short but full description of a happy state in this World. -Locke. Tony is an outstanding product of Cathedrals training. He is keenly intelligent, quick of Wit and facile of expression. He is a veteran of the choir, a member of the GARGOYLE, ANNUAL and library staffs. In class, Tony is an ardent defender of the classics and the champion Italian scholar. He is also a scientist of account. Whenever Tony has a moment of spare time he devotes it to his Work in handicraft, which he taught as a counsellor at Camp Molloy. He is a firm devotee of camping and capitalizes on his every opportunity to study nature. In the field of sports, Tony is no mean pitcher, but alas and alack, he was overlooked by Coach Crane. Tony, through his keen mind, his fluency, his geniality, his generosity and his ambition, shall certainly reach his goal in life. WILLIAM E. LOHMANN ST. THOMAS THE APOSTLE PARISH, WOODHAVEN But strong in Will, to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield. -Tennyson. Bill was little Willie when he entered Cathe- dral. But today We find Bill's head and shoul- ders over most of his classmates and enjoying the distinction of being the tallest individual of the class. Qualities of persistency and consistency mark Bill. In all his undertakings there has been ex- emplified a perseverance which has been ad- mirable. His scholastic efforts have been re- warded, for Bill has always been one of the best pupils of the class. He has seldom competed in official sports about school and his athletic abil- ity has often been overlooked. But to close observers such a consistency has distinguished his athletic endeavors that it has led them to consider the tall Woodhavenite as one of the best athletes of the class. Bill is gifted with a remarkable sense of humor and all agree that he is well able to hold his own in the enticing game of Wit. His persevering spirit and ability to stay with a task until completed will hasten him along the course which he is now pursuing and will speed him successfully to his goal. 25
