Niall ml mfiirtletliwilll l GEORGE J. ARNOLD George Holy Cross Vive-Pi-esideut 1: Track 1, 2, 3, -lg Cross-Couir try El, 45 Class Relay 1, 2, 3, 4. One of the boys from Holy Cross School is George Arnold. George first came into prominence in first year when he stood forth as one of the honor students of his class, a position he has continued to main- tain ever since. George has a mania for ties. He has them of all colors and shapes. Sometimes we fear he is about to fly away, when We behold the wings of some of his bow ties. In the field of literature, George has the knack of picking out humorous passages, or adding something of his own to make the passage humorous. George's own version of Shakespeare would make the much venerated Bill turn a handspring in his grave. It is the quality of seeing the humorous side of everything which makes George so light-hearted, and a wel- come addition to any gathering of his class- mates. But George is also level-headed and knows the right time for his nonsense. All the class activities have been ably supported by George. XVe expect George to continue his education at Manhattan College where he may yet obtain fame in collegiate circles as a cross country run- ner. Page twenty HAROLD J. BAILEY Harry St. Gabriel's School Baseball 3. The outstanding characteristic of Har- ry's personal appearance is his curly hair. The luxurious locks atop Harry's noble brow remind one of pictures we see of great musicians. Nile can't say he is a musician but we're willing to wager that if Harry changed his name to Bailowsky and posed with a fiddle, he could easily Fill Aeoliau Hall to capacity. Harry is somewhat of a theorist. He can usually be found expounding his theories, delving deep into the why and the wherefore of various abstruse matters. He is quite an expert at Physics, perhaps because he is after all interested in the concrete. Being a stocky well-built lad, Harry, naturally has a strong liking for athletics. He was an efficient performer behind the bat for De La Salle's varsity baseball team, dur- ing junior Year, and was known to have the meanest swing on the team. Wfhen Harry connected the ball bid bon voyage to the opposing players. Bailey has a happy-go-lucky disposition but can be serious when occasion demands. We wish .you luck, Harry.

As Jack Smythe would say, An ancient wisecracker once remarked- There are two kinds of people in this world: those who talk and those who listen'. Now Mike is essentially a listener. Perhaps his coming from the wide open spaces of As- toria, land of strong silent men, accounts for his lack of loquacity. W'hen we first made his acquaintance we met an unas- sertive Freshie, bewildered by the upper classmen. Time however is the greater healer. In the natural course of events he found that Seniors and Juniors are so- phisticated Freshmen, more or less-his debut followed. Recently Mike acquired long pants and, simultaneously the courage to tell us he's going to be a medicine man. Now, we've watched Mike search for mis- sing elements in the Chemistry lah. It is with deep sympathy, therefore that we think of Mikes future simple and unsus- pecting victims. Wie wish you all sorts of luck in curing the natives of Astoria, gutgwell, it's pretty hard to dispel our ou ts. JOHN J. CASSIDY Cass Blessed Sacrament School Wlhen the most of us were puny Fresh- ies, Cass was the Hercules of the class. Some of us have nearly caught up to him now, but we can never associate John with the conventional picture of a stubby Freshman. Wie never-knew Cassidy to be any smaller-perhaps he never was. John's claim to fame does not rest on his size only. In his quiet but effective way he has been a loyal supporter of all class activi- ties. Others may garner the laurels but without the help of his type, there would be none to bedeck them. As a student, Cass has been a steady worker, producing a consistent run of good marks through- out the four years we have spent together. john'-s great weakness is sleep. Cass can nod his noble head and wander off into somnambulant bliss at any time, though the Religious Instruction period is his favorite. In society our mlodest classmate is a lion. lfVhy he has the fairest of the fair cast- ing dreamy eyes upon him, perhaps the picture above will tell. Page tvuenty-oize We 1. .92 ll.s4.eQfs4ef fel'
