Eugene F. Donnelly St. Luke Parish, Whitestone He hm' omuioual fL1.vbe.r of .rilezzre fha! make bn mfllferznzlion rfvligblfuf. -LONGFELLOW In Gene we find a Michaelangelo and a Raphael combined. 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. Donovan St. Francis Xavier Parish, Brooklyn AJ be lhinlzelb in bir benrl, ro ir he. -PROVERBS Doc is likely to fool you by his outward ap- pearance. 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

Edward C. Garvey St. Teresa Parish, Brooklyn Fl.1.vbe,r of 711L'l'!'fIlZL'lll Ibn! were 'wmzt la .ret the lable on rl 1'0clI'.H1SHAKESPEARE The one fellow whose witticisms have carried the class through many a dull moment is Ed. Ed is a fine blend of joviality, affability, and hard work. Throughout his six years at Cathedral he has been absorbed by many out-of-class activities. Ed has been an altar boy ever since he was a freshman. He has also been a faithful member of the Literature Committee. His facetious column in the Gargoyle, Things and Stuff , has indeed made him a likeable humorist. The spontaneity of his wit was clearly seen during his part in the Christmas Play. Sports also have a great attraction for Ed. He has not only been a mem- ber of the Class Basketball Team but of the College team as Well. Besides this, Ed has proved a loyal Confraternity worker. Without a doubt, Ed's naturally winning per- sonality will in the future lighten the tasks of the sublime work to which he is aspiring. George H. Gildersleeve Sacred Heart Parish, Mattituck 'Ti.r Ibe fm'n1er'r rare Tbul Nlllktll' lbe field ben. -FULLER Here is a handsome, blond, young man from the wilds of Long Island. George is first an athlete, having held berths on the Prep and College Basketball Teams, and on the Baseball Team. Since George is from way out on the end of the Island he has taken quite a bit of kid- ding, but now We are all convinced that he is a gentleman-farmer. Besides his athletic pursuits, he has found time for many other activities. George has been doing his work for the missions by making sure we pay our nickel each week to the Propagation of the Faith. He also edits the sports column in the Gargoyle. He has been a faithful teacher in the Confraternity. When George first came to us, he did not know very much about basketball. Through hard work and persistence he has become a success in that field. In this very way we can be sure that he will work and persevere to make his future life even more successful than his past one has been. CATHEDRAL COLLEGE ANNUAL
