. . . eniofw I 4 ANTHONY JOHN DERKACZ-Immaculate Conception-As tute, serious and friendly, Tony has done well at Catholic Central. His love of sports of all kinds is surpassed only by his firm determination to make a success of his life. Knowing Tony as we do from our four years with him in the classrooms of Catholic Central, there is no doubt of the outcome. ARTHUR JOHN DOMBROWSKI-Corpus Christi-His closest friends know him as Archie but all his classmates recognize an air of amity about him that spells success in later life. Behind the classroom scenes he is a philatelist at heart, devoting hours to this hobby. Arthur's future is not yet certain, but whether he studies law or medicine, we wish him all the smiles of fortune. PETER JOSEPH DONALDSON-Visitation-Since the world is ever eager to embrace promising talent with open arms, Pete has already acquired a place in her affection. Not only a rival to Arthur Murray on the dance floor, but a threat to the Mayo Brothers' exclusive reputation, Pete has, we think, a resplendent future. He seems to favor the latter and will some day become an M.D. PATRICK JAMES DONNELLY-Patronage of St. Joseph- With malice toward none, and kindness for all, Pat has in- duced innumerable friendships throughout his four years stay at Catholic Central. Though an Irishman by birth, at heart he is a reserved, even tempered lad ever ready to forgive and forget. We're sure Pat will have no trouble making his way along future roads. LAWRENCE WILLIAM DOOLEY-Precious Blood-A magnetic personality, sincerity and a spirit of generosity have won for Larry hosts of close friends not only through his associa- tions at school, but in the social scene, too. Athletics keep him busy during his after-school hours. Truly, it will be this charming personality which will carry him to success in college and later life. CHARLES FREDERICK EBERT-St. Brigid-One of the unsung heroes of the gridiron, Chuck has been a mainstay for the varsity forward wall. Although favoring football, he has given all of the intramural activities a whirl, with the result that he is an all-around athlete of wide repute. His qualities of fortitude and determination will aid greatly in his quest at the U. of M. for the secrets of engineering.
