Q ROBERT B. BRGOKS The will to do, and the soul to dare. This deftly describes Robert Brooks. Bob's willingness to tackle an assigned task is reflected in his scholastic recordg his daring is exhibited in Mr. Buechner's History Class, where his frequent gesticulations both shock Ellid Z-11111156 OLII' ClCCOI'Ol1S 11121StCI'. Perhaps Bobys chief trait is his desire to read as many good books as possible: this love of good reading may be called his hobby. He cares little for athleticsg he is one of the few celibates among the seniorsg and he is also one of our best English students. He owns a new automobile, and keeps to himself and to his clique of friends on his weekends. He is candid in what he says, and can often be found Cor heardj in the Common Room engaged in C 7 I I ' MULE' an argument with Beach on any debatable subject. These frequent diatribes have prompted the seniors to nickname him Muleu. Bob expects to enter Ohio State in the fall, where his book learning should stand him in good stead He may not become the most popular boy at State, for he keeps to himself too much, but he should be one of the most dependable. Wlhenever we think of Mule we shall remember a modest, well-read boy who could always turn out the best of English themes.

tg lv. . I-, Y H I WILLIAM C. BOULGER Although he doesn't plan to play football at Notre Dame or to become the star rookie of the New York City police force, Kelly Boulger nevertheless is as devoted a son of Erin as would make the old Saint himself beam with pride. just as certain as it is that St. Patricks day will come each year, so it is certain too that Bill will show up at school attired in a green necktie and ribbon, a gleeful twinkle in his Irish eye, and a tale upon his lips of how the Hrst Boulger kissed the Blarney Stone. But it is not those eyes, or that ribbon, or his name that tell one that he is a member of that respected clan. It is rather his inherent characteristics, sym- bolic of that great race, that reveal the Irish in Bill. LUKE Although he has a good-natured smile and cheerful personality, Kelly will not be abused by anyone. Like his countrymen, the fighting Irish, he always has a chip on his shoulder, willing and ready to mix it with anyone on the slightest provocation. Bill is usually eager for a good argument upon any subject which he feels he can discuss intelli- gently. I-Ie allows no one to trample on his rights. llut perhaps Bill's most outstanding characteristic is his care-free attitude toward life. Life is a thing to be lived, he believes, and he is not inclined to be bothered too much by a little thing like school when a big issue like football is at stake. Although he is earnest in his school work, he is not likely to endanger his healih by overwork. However, this should prove no great handi- cap to him in later life. As the poet Yeats said: Oh sacred gift of idleness, The teeming mother of the arts . . Perhaps, in Billls case, he has something tliere. x S Football 2, 3, 4 Baseball 2 Tennis 3, 4 junior Oratorical Contest College preference, Harvard .Mb Ambition, Brewer X 'X I .1 WWA 20

JOSEPH C. CAMPBELL To some, the making of friends is a difficult task, a thing to be worked on, and a technique to be im- proved. To joe Campbell, however, the possession of friends is part of his make-up. joe is one of those persons whom it is difficult, if not impossible, to dislike, even in the most passive manner. He is a comedian, and an actor. l-lis collection of jokes, though not that of a Benny, is of enviable size and quality, while his frequent impromptu jokes are always at their 'fcorny best . A natural actor, espe- cially vocally, joe often keeps the Commons Room in a state of hilarity. There is not a person in the school in whose presence we feel happier. Although he takes his humor with him wherever he goes, joe is also a student and an athlete. In HSOISH the class, he always puts forth all that he has ftypi- cally joej and his instructors all appreciate the fine quality of his work. On the lield he excells. As a member of the football team this year, joe did a lionls share of the work. ln the tea-time basketball league, he was the life of many an afternoon, and as this year's baseball captain, he is doing a wonderful job in keeping up the morale. At every game there is one predominant voice to be heard, heckling the pitcher, or encouraging the fellows on the team but always in the same jovial manner. Today, as never before, we need people who can see the humorous side of life as well as the serious. Such a person is joe Campbell, who can be serious when the situation calls for it, and jovial when hilarity is proper. v 4 Q 0 om N , Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4 Laptain 4 Basketball 3 Academy Life 3, 4 M.
