Page 12 PURPLE ANU GOLD Biographies-Continued FRANCIS EMORY MCKEEVER VVe all know Emory by his broad smile and his happy word for everyone. Emory is very modest, but sometimes he cannot repress his merriment and he has to let it out, or else explode. Emory was one of the main factors of the football team of 1925. VVhen he isn't playing he is backing the team to the limit. Emory was also manager of the Senior A. baseball team. Beside being connected with many athletic activities, Emory is considered the best Charleston dancer of the school. He is a good example of joy in life because of work well done. VVell, Emory, so long and success! FREDERICK MARTIN MESMER We need not give introduction to Freddie Mesmer, whom you all know. Freddie has completed three years of service on the C. B. A. basketball team, being elected captain for the last two years. He also captained the tennis team for two years. Besides being an athlete, Fred is also intellectually inclined. It will be hard to fill his shoes on the basketball court, and we think that everybody will agree with us, when we say he will be missed. If the term student-athlete is applicable to all our ath- letes, a special' mention of the term must be made when we speak of Freddie. He has climbed to suc- cess in a lot of things and we know he'll keep climbing. PATRICK HENRY NEEDHAM Hank, our dignified Vice-President, is now learning the druggist's trade. He is making rapid strides and we soon expect him to get ahead. Hank is a jack of all trades. He can speak, write compositions and even recite chemistry. He was brought up on hard work, he likes it and that's going to obviate many of the ills to which flesh is heir. May sunshine always be yours, Hank, and success beyond your dearest hopes! JOHN HENRY PIRRO Johnnie Pirro, better known as eight ball, hails from the North Side. His smile dispels gloom as the sun does the dark clouds. Although mischievous at times, he is a good scholar. His ardent love for chemistry may some day bring forth many new compounds to startle the scientific world. He is now trying to get wood out of alcohol in case of another coal strike. Never say die, Johnny, and may you keep going along life's primrose path always wearing your contagious smile. JOSEPH THGMAS PIRRO Now we come to the big fellow, Joe Pirro. He entered the Brothers' School upon graduation from Prescott School, where he successfully finished a grammar school course. Although Joe tips the scales at two hundred, he is one of the most ambitious boys in the school. Joe is a very likeable fel- low, and is popular with everyone. Some day Joe will take over his father's undertaking establish- ment, and become one of the most prominent embalmers of the day. People love him so much, they'll die to please him. PAUL FRANCIS SCANLON Paul Scanlon, a native of Auburn, came to East Syracuse, where, after pastiming at the local high school, he entered C. B. A. Although Paul is exceedingly quiet, he is widely known for his dramatic talent. The minute Paul arrives at school in the morning, he envelopes himself in study. Paul has a noble character and this, united with his ambition, is bound to help him come out on top.

Page 14 PURPLE AND GOLD Biographies-Continued JOSEPH PATRICK SHEEDY ' Joe made ,his first appearance at C. B. A. in the third year. He had previously attended Central High, where he took an active part in athletics. Since attending C. B. A. Joe has gained fame both physically ahd mentally. He was a member of the Eastern State Championship team of C. B. A. Joe Sheedy is one of the most popular boys in C. B. A. and when he passes on from C. B. A. he will not go unnoticed. F ive yards will always have a special meaning for us, in whatever stadium we see footballJgames in the future. The term will bring back to mind Joe and that will be a pleasing remembrance. J DONALD JOSEPH SHEEHY Don entered C. B. A. in 1922 after having a grand time in Brighton School. At our class meet- ings Don Jis the one to start all hot arguments. Don has earned his block letters by playing foot- ball on our past championship teams. He admires the St. John School at noon more than any boy in C. B. A. I-lis hobby is cracking jokes and keeping the boys smiling. Keep at it, Don, we are all with you! J y ROBERT JOHN SIMS Introducihg Robert Sims, pride of the East Side, alias the boy without a hat. Although Bob intends to lie an engineer his magnificent work in the literary Field may lead him astray, or his colleg- ian ideas mlay aid in the founding of a university. I IRVING ALOYSIUS SYCK Irving entered C. B. A. in 1921 as a graduate of Polish Sacred Heart School and one of the lead- ing representatives of the VVest End. In a recent bowling tourney, Irving won the leather medal for rolling the most balls and next year expects a special invitation to compete in the A. B. C. tourna- ment. Irving is a good worker, once he gets started. He has not yet decided which university he will honor by his matriculation but we are all wishing Irving the best of luck. , DONALD JOHN TRAVERS Another boy from the East Side. His weakness is baseball and billiards. One of the best look- ing and well-liked lads in the class, all will miss him. His life work will be at the Solvay Process, striving to benefit the world by discovering some blessing while working under the guise of a simple chemist. HUBERT JOSEPH TRIANO A good ilellow, an excellent student, a star in class athletics, what else could one expect. His hobby is to be found at the library, but what it is is a mystery to all. Studies hold no terror for him, but are welcomed. This does not mean he is a grind Far from it. He likes his fun as well as any- body else, and he gets it. We hope he keeps up the happy mixture.
