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

Hendel St. Catherine of Siena Parish, St. Albans Srieure when well digerted ir nothing but good renre :md rearo11. -STANISLAUS Rich, or more frequently, Dutch, is a man of many pursuits. There has been accorded to Dutch the unusual combination of athletics, science, and acting. Dutch was appointed Ef- ficiency Expert of the lab and has done much Work in that field. He is this year's captain of the College Basketball Team and he has held berths on the Prep Basketball and Baseball Teams. Through his keen guidance, fine leader- ship, and hard fighting, the College Team had a very good season. Dutch is also an actor, having taken part in the Christmas Radio Play and being one of the Father Ryan Players. He has also been an active member ot the Contraternity, ot the St. Tliiomas More Society, and of the Student Coun- C1 . In his personality, good nature, and fighting spirit, We see characteristics that will most cer- tainly enable Dutch to reach happily and suc- cessfully that final goal which he has chosen as his place in life. William F. Hughes St. Thomas the Apostle Parish, Woodhaven For bir bear! war in lair work, and llae bear! Givezb unto every Arr. -LoNsrEL1.ow Bill is the real plugger type, for he labors tire- lessly in every endeavor he pursues. As chair- man of the Literature Committee, he is the driving force behind the semination of good pamphlet literature in Cathedral. On both Gargoyle and ANNUAL staffs he is an important cog. Yet, he has found time to act in the Christ- mas play and has undertaken the laborious task of secretary for the annual presentation in the Academy of Music. But above all, Bill stands out as a student. In not just one branch of knowledge does he excel, as in math and the sciences but in all the sub- jects, and especially in languages, whether it be Latin, Greek, Italian, or French, he has that extra drive which puts him in the select upper circle, scholastically. Yet, with it all he is modest and unassuming, the perfect combination of gentleman and a scholar. With such an enviable record of hard work and high achievement behind him, the future can hold only success for him in Christ's ministry.
