And how different in mind these sophisticated Seniors are from the timid Freshmen ot tour years ago! You have advanced in wisdom. Throughout these tour years your priest teachers ascended the altar each morning to beg the good God that FATHER J- SHEEHY, CSB. you would likewise advance in grace.

ADAMS, JOHN QUINCY-St. Catherine-John's height, swarthi- ness and taciturnity gave him the nickname Indian , his power- ful frame and athletic prowess won him a place on the Varsity football squad. Interested in science, he has constructed motor boots for himself and has given quite a bit of attention to radio. He has chosen aeronautics as his life's work. AGACINSKI, THADDEUS LEONARD-St Thomas the ApostleA Ted is one of the school's most deft bowlers, and the 'ne plus ultra' of her cultured savants, as his daily visit to the library, active interest in music, and his Avaverage will bear out. When not consulting Webster or rolling the ball down the alley, he can be found defending in heated argument the merits of De- troit's own Red Wings. Although English is his favorite subject, Ted is at present aiming ot a future in chemistry. ANSTETT, CHARLES JOSEPH-St. Luke-Although he is always unassuming, Chuck is universally well-liked by those who know him. He is a devotee of hockey and baseball, and sometimes takes a whirl at the harmonica. With another instrument, the clarinet, he tooted earnestly for two years in the band. As a commercial artist, he hopes to turn his ability in drawing to his financial benefit. ASHER, JAMES JOHN - Visitation - Kindness, thoughtfulness, friendliness and loyalty were some of the splendid virtues which Jim developed during his past four years at C.C.H. As an honor student, Jim has found his way into the University of Detroit where he will study iournalism. His favorite sport is swimming, and his favorite pastime dancing. His quick wit and easy going has won him many lasting friends. CLASS OFFICERS iLeft to Rightl BRUNO J. SINKUS, Treasurer GERALD R. COYLE: President JAMES W. MADIGAN, Secretary THOMAS E.
