eniow . . JOHN FRANCIS EIZONAS-St. George- Big John was the stalwart defender of the right side of the Catholic Central line. To those who know him off the gridiron he was a good-natured and sociable classmate who maintained a consistently high scholastic average. His perserverance and determination in all that he sets his mind to accomplish are his best qualifications for success. RICHARD Jossru ELMER-Epiphany-A flushing smile, Q helpful suggestion, or hearty words of congratulation char- acterize the popular Senior president. His versatility in the fields of leadership, literature and athletics is excelled only by his scholarship in the class room. In addition to directing the student council, Dick has devoted his genius to the co-editing of the Yearbook. CHARLES HANDFIELD ENGELS-St. Theresa-lnadvertently we turn as Chuck approaches, Will it be the purple plaid pants and incendiary red shirt? An artist of wit and clever sayings, Chuck has radiated his humorous disposition throughout every nook and cranny of the school. GEORGE EDWARD FAHRENKOPF-Blessed Sacrament-An amiable personality, a keen sense of humor and an abundant generosity have endeared Ed in the hearts of his friends. Being a diligent student of high caliber, Ed managed the art department for the Spectrum, drawing cartoons which depicted life at Central. His skill and steady hand should carry him to the top in commercial art. JOHN HERMAN FEDORKO-Sts. Cyril and Methodius- Jol1n's intellectual faculties have enabled him to maintain a creditable average during a four-year scholastic endeavor. An interest in the scientific world forwarded his membership in Central's Science Club. John, though another Harry on the trumpet, can already see the extended diploma and congratulation, well earned by a Doctor of Medicine. GEORGE OSWALD FEDRIGO-Epiphany-lt will be a fond hope come true when our golden tongued Aldo finds himself safely settled at Law School. His ingenious mind and careful logic permit him to argue on either side of a point in debate-and arguing is his favorite recreation.

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.
