He has grown and grown and now is much taller than many of his classmates. lim was a bit handicapped by his height, but he fought and overcame that obstacle, crown- ing his work with a berth on the College Basket- ball Team. He has charge of the Patron's Com- mittee of this year's ANNUAL. He is Vice-Presi- dent of the Student's Council and a loyal and active teacher in the Contraternity. Through his good-nature and wit, combined with his perseverance, industry, and hard work, lim has won a place in our hearts. We feel sure that he will, with his lighting spirit, chalk up victory after victory on that hard, but pleasant road to success. Francis P.

One especial way in which we are unique is, in having a Mayor in the person ot Frank. He was given this title for reasons quite obvious to the eye. He is a little chubby bundle of joy, wit, and fun-making. Though a little small of slature, he has the power ot a giant in his hands. The Mayor is also a scientist, spending many ot his afternoons Working in the lab, per- fecting the new telescope. One oi the distinc- tions oi the year goes to Frank. He is Eclitor-in- Chief of this year's ANNUAL. He has been an active worker in the Contraternity and in the Literature Committee. He is also an actor, as he proved in the Christmas Play. We do not know if Frank will be with us for long, since he has revealed a yearning for the Maryknoll Society. As for that, it is not our concern, it is a matter between Frank and his God. Wherever he sets to work, we know that he will be a great success. Frank is the type who will pave his way of life with stone after stone of successful achievements.

Yes! he is a born artist. His drawings have graced many ANNUAL pages in these last six years. His beautiful picture of Pope Pius XII in the '40 ANNUAL will be remem- bered for years to come. It is his talent for art that has won for him the position of Staff Artist on this year's ANNUAL. Everyday Gene has labored in the lab repainting some of the statues that stand around the school. When his fine, delicate hand has finished, the statues once again look fresh and lifelike. A skill, such as his, is not seen very often, and we are proud to have that skill in our class of '42, Even though these foils keep him very busy Gene has still found time to participate in other activities. He is an active worker in the Con- fraternity and in the St. Iohn Berchman Society. Iust as Gene paints his pictures and statues with finesse and elegance thus he will paint his future with success and happiness. His un- ceasing labor and industry prove that he will attain to a bright and sunny future. Iohn P.

But as the old saying goes, Don't judge a book by its cover. Beneath joking and jesting, there is a shrewd, keen mind. He is the most widely traveled member of the class. The account of some of his travels prove most inter- esting and enjoyable. Doc is a cartoonist in his own little way, being able to draw this or that event or person in amusing caricatures. He is also an athlete and an actor. He proved this by his work in the Christmas play and by winning for himself a two year berth on the College Basketball Team. He has been an active member of the St. Thomas More Society, of the St. Iohn Berchman Society and of the Literature Committee. Doc , through his colorful character, cannot help but be a success. His industry and winning personality will make the hard road of a suc- cessful life an easy one for him to travel. r I CATHEDRAL COLLEGE ANNUAL
