I i A N N U A L 1 9 3 6 0 0 ANTHONY F. PAZERECKAS TRANSFIGURATION PARISH, MASPETH He watched and wept, he prayed and felt for all. -Goldsmith. Pazzy joined our ranks in fourth year as a recruit from St. Iohr1's Prep. He studied there for three years and acquired much experience in the field of athletics which he was able to offer Coach Crane. He was a member of the Prep and College basketball teams. He also gave his services to the baseball squad. His skill in long shots was a deciding factor in the game with this year's Prep, in which he was high scorer. He studies hard and is never a slacker. His humility is his predorninating virtue and his willingness to help a fellow classmate is a close second. He is quiet and unassuming, the pos- sessor of a noble character. He is one who will forge ahead constantly, simply because he won't let himself slip back. He is truly destined for success and it is with the assurance of his future well-being that we say, Au revoir, 'Pazf FRANCIS S. PULLO ss. PETER AND PAUL PARISH, BROOKLYN Work, work, work from weary chime to chime. -Hood. Truer words could not be spoken of Frank. His six years at Cathedral have been devoted en- tirely to study and application. Few take their lessons so much to heart as this patient and generous burner of midnight oil. Though of a quiet and unobtrusive nature, Frank holds an appeal for every friend. One must know him to appreciate his fineness and delicacy of charac- ter. His kindliness, humility and good-natured spirit are entrancing and of great influence. Real hard, honest-to-goodness study is perhaps his greatest qualification. His favorite subjects are Latin and Greekg his little difficulties in the syntax of the latter have made many an interest- ing periocl-for the students. , Frank takes things to heart and all his under- takings are characterized by sincerity and zeal. Our wishes and good luck to you, Frank, may your work in the ministry be of profit to you and your fellowmen. Sl

OOCATHEDRAL COLLEGE RAYMOND F. MORGAN OUR LADY OF GOOD COUNSEL PARISH, BROOKLYN To catch the thrill of a happy voice And the light of a pleasant eye. -Willis, Ray is a serious, chubby individual. His good humor, and hearty laughter have lightened dull moments time and again. You would not know he was in the class-so quiet is he-except for that contagious happiness of his. He is of the character and calibre that is indispensable in any class. Scholastically, Ray is a good student-as his recitations and better-than-average marks prove. But he just can't seem to prove to that certain professor that he IS right. His oft repeated: Yes, Father, I'm positive has been to no avail, lf you don't succeed -well just give up, Ray. The Achille Ratti Society has found a good worker in him and as Vice-President of the Saint Francis Players he has ably acquitted himself. He is also on the staff of the GARGOYLE and a member of the school choir. His willingness to give a hand when needed and his aforesaid happy disposition make us sure Ray is headed for great things. JEROME A. MURPHY sr. AGATHA's PARISH, BROOKLYN For voices pursue him by day, And haunt him by night- And he listens, and needs must obey, When the Angel says: Writel -Longfellow, Ierry is the class poet. In this crowd of prosaic personalities the Muse would certainly go beg- ging were not Ierry there, the solitary singer of sentimental sonnets. But in his humility he does not disdain the less melodic prose as a medium to express his vagaries of fancy and his Weekly themes are gems of rhetoric which have been a source of constant delight and edification. ln- deed Ierry is Donelon's only rival in the art of eloquent dissertation. He is a versatile chap, being an active mem- ber of the Achille Ratti Sociey, an actor of no mean ability and renown, an Associate Editor of the GARGOYLE, and Assistant Editor-in-Chief of the ANNUAL. In the scholastic field lerry is among the leaders, excelling in Mathematics. ln Social Science he has devoted his energies and enthusiasm to obtaining reform in our Pure Food legislation. Ierry's frank personality, warm smile, modest scholarship and poetic soul form an irresistible combination that will break down any barrier. 30

JAMES J. SKELLY HOLY cnoss PARISH, BROOKLYN A man's man. -Anonymous. From our years ot acquaintance with 'lIim and from our first-hand knowledge We take justifiable pride in pointing to him as our CHEVALIER SANS PEUR ET SANS REPROCHE.

Iames, more familiarly known to his friends as Cap, has won our affection by his earnestness, kindliness, and, above all, his cheerfulness. Iim has been on the GARGOYLE Staff since 1931.

He comes as l'Christ cometh, all with meekness shod, out of the silences of God. 32
