JOSEPH F. McCaffrey “Joe,” as our athletic coach, ami as our teacher, has liatl ample opportunity of showing us what he has of ability and we must admit that he is “there” — and “there” with em- phasis. The hug:e success which has crowned his efforts on the athletic field is evident by a jjlance at our school ' s record of the past year. As a teacher, he has won our re- spect and esteem. Joe’s sin- cerity, honesty, and straight- forwardness have made him tremendously popular with every one, and it is safe to surmise that he runs even the incomparable “Doc” a close second. We wish “Joe” luck, and all the things that go with it. MARY KERRIGAN Mary Kerrigan “Molly” our l»etite Latin and French teachei- is very popular with the girls and boys. Although she is a new member of the faculty, she certainly is a pleasant addition. We all know that Molly never forgot her High School days and we all love her for being leni(‘iit with us at times. I»ut did you ever try to get a drink luring foi-bidden hours while “Molly” was on guard? “Try and do it.” Also, did yon ever try to get excused from rei)orting ba- misbehavior? Try it s mie- time. It’s fun. but you ' ll re- port in the end. “Molly’s” prim but she is a (la ding, and W( ’1I never forget her with her sweet smile and curly hair. 14

ETHEL TIERNEY As a ( ' oininercial teacln ' r. Miss takes l»i};h rank. Her (’oniniereial |»upils will all swear by her, and will tell yon what a true, staunch, re- liable, and most deli;;htful friend she is. II( r ready coin- pliance to help us in all oui- work is marked aipl appi ' eci- ated by all. When we wert tryinjr to make “Your favor of the Idth noted, et( . out of what looked to us like some of Kinj; Tut’s hierofj:lyi)hics. she was ever ready to aid us in our pendexity. Even that smile of hers, and her willing- ness to jrive us a lift in her “limousine, have shown us that .she is a truly pleasant younj? lady. PATRICK F. HYNES: Throufih the labyrinth of historical and ijatriotic djtta and statistics, through silver coinage and the dark and dis- mal doings of America Ver- pucci, from Christoforo Co- lomb to Pershing, we have been led by Mr, Hynes during the past year. As our history teacher, “l at” was great ; we certainly enjoyed him. Mr. Hynes is a firm believer in the efficacy of public speaking and he never lo.ses an opportunity to practice what he preaches. His wit is good, and quite amusing. We are sorry to terminate our a( quaintance with Mr. Hynes, but what is our lo.ss, will be the gain of the other High School stu- dents. 15
