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

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

CATHEDRAL COLLEGE FELIX M. LOPEZ ST. 1ERoMR'S PARISH, BROOKLYN A cheerful temper, joined with innocence will make beauty attractive, knowledge delight- ful and wit good-natured. -Addison. The whole class will agree that no one could have been more fittingly named than Felix Lopez. His cheerful attitude, happy smile and practical jokes have enlivened many a dull after- noon in school. We remember that one of the professors once said to him, You are wholly without guile, Felix, I hope you will remain so. We know that he will. Although his athletic activities were limited to interclass games, he will be remembered as one of the rnost enthusiastic rooters of the College and Prep teams. In fifth year he won his letter as manager of the swimming team. Felix roots for Brooklyn and ever since fourth year he has been arguing with Iohn Daly over the respective merits of Mungo and Gomez. For several years Felix has been prominently cast in the productions of the Saint Francis Players. He has ambitions to write stories and his favorite subject is science. Because of his pleasant disposition, fine character, and intellec- tual zeal, this biographer prophesizes that Felix Lopez will meet with nothing but success. THOMAS F. McGLADE ST. FRANCIS XAVIER PARISH, BROOKLYN Sweetest the strain when in the song The singer has been lost. -Phelps. Tom's appearance of severity in the picture might mislead anyone who did not know him into thinking that he was always thus. Far from itl Tom is one of the most jovial and certainly one of the best liked men in the class. He is one of those fellows who have diversified their interests in such a way that, in reviewing them, we feel that we know the real Tom. A basketball player of no mean ability, he has starred on layvee, Varsity and College squads. As sports writer for the GARGOYLE, he has shown a capably critical judgment, as a Saint Francis Player, he has trod the boards in excel- lent interpretation of the many roles that he has played. But it is as a man of song that we shall best remember Tom. Chorister par excellence, you are sure to hear him on Commencement night, carrying on his broad shoulders many of the more humble tone-deaf. With a light heart, embracing a singular apathy toward the morbid, yet, definitely not the hail fellow well met, a bright path stretches invitingly before him. 26
