Method- ical in everything he does, he is that admirable kind of person who seeks only perfection in all undertakings. He has done well in his studies and has that calm assurance that comes from being well- prepared. He is a beaver for work and has shown this as Book Review Editor of the Gargoyle, member of the library staff, and the St. Thomas More Society, Moreover, lake is the choir's stczunchest ex- ponent and most active member, ever ready to enlighten or impress one with the glories of Plain Chant. Besides, he has done fine Contra- ternity work, having dealt for three years with high school groups. But it is with Maryknoll that Iake's heart really lies. After graduation he leaves to study with them for foreign mission work. Knowing him as We do, God will most assuredly bless this most industrious clerical aspirant and friend of ours, known to all as lake , Iohn F.

And he has shown real evidence of school spirit by a most enthus- iastic and varied participation in extracurricular activities. For the past few years he has been the class representative for the Apostleship of Prayer besides engaging in the Confraternity of Chris- tian Doctrine and acting as a member of the Gargoyle Staff. He also claims membership among the Father Ryan Players. He has given time and effort to be active in the St. Iohn Berchman's and St. Thomas More Societies besides having bolstered many a class team with his adeptness at basketball. Iohn has distinguished himself in another way, and that it is by lightening many a class with his very humorous laugh, This he lets out often very suddenly and at belated times bringing with it a chuckle from everyone. All in all though, Iohn is a very sincere and likeable fellow, whose taste for extracurricular activity can spin for him a future filled only with success. r t CATI'IEDRAL COLLEGE ANNUAL

CCLLEGE FRESHMEN h fereq vl' S the fifth year of its sojourn in Cathedral draws speedily to a close M.. Q the class of 1943 once again marches by in review for the benefit gif of the ANNUAL readers. In this our next to last year in these hal- cl lowed corridors and classrooms, we have taken a long step for- ward toward the fulfillment of our ambitions. The talents displayed by the members of this class in the past year, in addition to their scholastic genius, have been so diversified it would be im- possible to enumerate all of them. Nevertheless, we shall present a cross- section view of the class so the reader may get at least a slight glimpse at this extraordinary group of young men. First of all We present lim fTootl Tuite, our capable president. Because of his duties as class executive, secretary of the Student Council and as chemical expert extraordinary, lim has been busier than a subway turnstile during rush hour. ln the World of sport we have that inseparable trio of Prep basketballers, foe fLine Drivel Perillo, lack fRedl Kelly and Capt. Eddie Close, who are per- petually plotting the downfall of some unwary opponent, and the members of this year's class team, lim Tuite, Ioe Devit, ferry Schmidt, Dick Wichelns, lack Casey, Frank Ctt, Moe Mahoney, Eddie Elbert and Karl Michel. already plotting how next year We can capture that so-far elusive intra-mural championship. For anyone looking for a healthy argument we heartily recommend they contact Ioe Keane, Wally Murphy, Tom Flannagan and Vinny McKenna, who at the slightest provocation Will engage in a long-winded, though at times inconclusive debate on any subject from the position of Little America in future wars to the theory of positive zero. Speaking of debates the one between Vinny La Rocca, Frank Labita and Eddie Torriello, who are forever upholding the glories of the land of popes and princes, and Peter I-learne, lack Casey and Vincent Murphy, singing the praises of the island of saints and scholars, has been going on for years and shows no signs of abating. Then, too, We have Ozzie Osborne, expert on weights and measures, Big Bill Geiss of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, Wally Quinn, one of the school's most versatile musicians, Charlie Cornfed Callahan, a walking ency- clopedia on farming, Skin McGowran, portrait painter deluxe, Addie Klein and Tony Bevilacqua, fifth year's contribution to Gregorian Chant, Tom Cronin. who has accomplished marvels with the St. Thomas More Literary Society, Charlie Myers, the Dodgers' most earnest supporter, Massachusetts' gift to Cathedral, Boston Blackie McAlvin, Wally Korycki, the class' most ardent devotee of recorded popular music, Willy Rodgers, our most unorthodox writer, who Writes titles backward to attract a hesitant reader, and last but in no sense of the Word least, Lil foe Riechert, able basketball manager and class secretary who, because of his versatility and physical equipment, has no trouble in carrying out the duties usually requiring the efforts of two. We all realize that Cathedral is a preparation for more important and serious things to come, so with our eyes on the future and ever mindful of the past, we take the present in stride, realizing that some day all our trials and joys will be gloriously climaxed on some altar of God.
