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. His serious- ness and sincerity are veiled by his scintillating personality which sparkles through his pleasantly freckled face. 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. His steadtastness secured for him the posi- tion of Business Manager in his senior year. He has made a great success of it.

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

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

y A N N U A L l 9 3 6 0 0 HERBERT A. TRAVIS sr. BENEDicT's PARISH, BROOKLYN Far may we search before We find A heart so manly and so kind. -Scott. Herb is rather a quiet chap, preferring to be a good listener rather than to be loquacious. Likable and agreeable to all of us, he makes an excellent friend and fellow-student. Good humor and readiness to assist others, qualities which are definitely his, endear him to us, An earnest, conscientious Worker, his ability to master the languages of Cicero and Homer, and his profi- ciency in other branches of study are some of the characteristics that make him outstanding among his classmates. We feel confident that Herb's fine qualities will stand him in good stead in the glorious future that lies before himg that he will succeed where others have failedg that in him the minis- try of Christ will have found a fathful and Willing servant. We feel equally confident that his very fond memories of the delightful hours spent Within the portals of Cathedral College will be eclipsed by the more glorious recollections of the six eventful years that lie before him in the attainment of that Goal of all Goals-the Priest- hood. FRANCIS M. TYRRELL V sr. BRENDANS PARISH, BROOKLYN A kind, true heart, a spirit high, That could not fear and would not bow. -Halleck. Strolling serenely through the hallowed by- ways of Cathedral for these some six years, Frank has cut out for himself an enviable path. Quiet, of modest demeanor, and at all times the perfect gentleman, he has become one of our best students. We cherish htm for his kindness, honor him for his scholarship and unassuming manner, and-plague him for his persistence, during those six complete years, in the collection of Propagation dues. His unobtrusiveness had become well nigh pro- verbial until one day not long ago, he aroused us from our lethargy by making a resounding defense of THE CATHOLIC WORKER. Many a pleasant moment have we spent While his skilled fingers rambled over the ivory keys. He has lent his fervent enthusiasm to the GARGOYLE and Saint Francis Players, and his talents, learned- ness, and merit have been recognized by the fact that he is the editor of the ANNUAL. His burning zeal has been of unlimited use to the Achille Ratti Society and his voice has sung the praises of God in the choir. Frank has been a boon companion to every member of our class. His genuine sincerity has made him beloved by all. 33
