larsl ailtgt . E , .. ANDREW J. DEVER i Andyg Devis. Annunciation. Treasurer of the Ari-licuufrnternity, 4: K. D. C.: Class Treasurer, 49 Varsity Basketball, 3, 4, lflass Relay. Andrew Dever arrived at De La Salle from Annunciation Parochial School four years ago, and since then has steadily in' creased in height and knowledge. Of a restless and jovial nature, Andy has an unholy passion for practical jokes. His classmates are sure that Andy will never have to fear the wolf at his door so long as Arrow Collars need a model for adver- tising. As a student, Andy holds his own. His hobby is Chemistry, and his labora- tory researches in this field will not be :lor- gotten by his classmates. In his Senior year, Andrew was elected Class Treasurer, and the efficiency with which he handles this office, seems to mark him out as the future president of some large banking concern. Natural and unaffected, he is just a regular fellow. If his future is as bright as his hair, we prophesy a life that will never be mediocre. Page twenty-eight FRAN-CIS J. DONAGHUE Frank De La Salle Duke Grammar. Class Relay 1, 2, 3, 45 Cross Country, 1, 2, 3: 'aI'ruck, 1, 2, 3, 4. This young gentleman hails from a sec- tion of our Big Town called Yorkville. Duke is a quiet chap who seldom ex- presses his opinion at our class-meetings leaving that to some one else. XVhile not exceptionally brilliant in his class work, Frank is a hard student and his success has been consistent. His hail-fellow-welb met spirit has made him a real favorite with his classmates. Tall and lanky, he walks down the wide avenue of oppor- tunity prepared to step into the arena of life and make his mark in the world. A closed mouth maketh a wise head is the principle of which Frank has planned his success in life. We are proud to num- ber him among the members of our class. and we are all going to be sorry to lose him as an associate. llfifE.f'iil-fVr9 li 9-2 Q lla? swiss! WJ

me i l . L M CHARLES W. DEACHER Charlie De La Salle Grammar. Bnsebnll, 2, 39 Class Relay, 1, 2. Charlie is a true De La Sallite coming from De La Salle Grammar. Knowing him intimately one finds him, a 'fellow with most admirable qualities. His interest is centered in his friends rather than him- self. To Charliel' life is not an awful sentence but a gay adventure teeming with surprises. In him we tind two en- tirely different natures. At times he is serene and dignified, while at other :no- ments we find him light and frivolous. He entered into every phase of High School life with a zest and interest that is characteristic of his every endeavor. He is optimistic. and can invariably point out the bright side when things look dark. He has a disposition that is hard to rival for pleasantness and generosity. Charlie is a good student and has always suc- ceeded in keeping above the danger mark. He is an all around good fellow and we are all glad we have been associated with himr. Charlie is uncertain as to what he will do next but we wish success in his undertakings. JOHN J. De CANIO Deeky P. S. 50. Torch Staffg Publisher, The Sieve. Our high school life has been bright- ened in no slight degree by jovial Johnny De Canio, Trekking every day from the outposts of civilization, Zerega Ave. in the Bronx, has developed John into a husky youngster. Johnny has a liking for art. Italian opera he has at his fingertips. If you are looking for any information on Pagliacci or Il Trovatore, look up Signor De Canio and he will give you the low down on the high stuff. Deeky has been a great help to his class by assisting in the publication of the class paper and in the preparation of copy for the Torch. He gave freely of his services as printer of the former and we can vouch for his excellent workmanship. johnny's gener- ous good nature has made him a favorite with his classmates. It is hard to picture Deeky with a frown overspreading his classic features except perhaps when the teacher scowls porteuding trouble to us all. Deeky has one great distinction--he was never tardy during his four years at De La Salle. Bill Grady would find it hard to rival him here. The best of good luck attend you Deeky- Page twenty-seven Ill 92 Qlii.slses11s1 fffiili

President, Ei, 4: Torch Staff: Editor, 'The Sieve', 3, 4: Varsity Baseball, 1, 2, 3, 45 Varsity Basketball, 4. VVhen a fellow has a record of achieve- ments like those above it's worth investi- gating, and when he can top it off with Il sterling character, Commendation is in order. Dick is facctious yet sincere. reso- lute yet unassuming, and he maintains :1 happy reserve that wins respect. If he has something to say he either says it on paper or does it. No doubt Dick had something to say about baseball and he couldn't say it. So he planted himself on third base, showed h-ow it should be clone and has been doing it for four years. Wie take it for granted that Dugg will be a journalist-he has proven to us that he is gifted in this line by his editorship of 'the Sieve'. Ten years or so from now it won't surprise us to hear of Dugg run- ning the Tribune or perchance criticizing Tolstoi for his absence of plot. RONALD M. DU VAL Frog Holy Name. Debating Society. Ronald comes from the vicinity of 96th St. on the W'est Sideg sports quite a Ritzy naiueg wears collegiate clothesg is a prom- ising debater, and is a philosopher in the making. Ron has acquired the habit of reading deep booksg perhaps because he thinks deep thoughts? He often astounds us by his convincing discussions on Tol- stoi, Shaw, Chesterson, etc., although it's all over our heads. Ronald doesn't pro- fess to be a dancerg Shakespeare never danced. He doesn't even attempt to play the Ukelele. Imagine Henry Clay play' ing the ukel. Therefore Ronald cannot be classed among the scorching youths. But with all his fine qualities Ronald sometimes lapses into those habits of his early childhood that he's trying so hard to forget. It is then that his worthy teachers caution him to be himself. Usu- ally Ronald with an obliging smile snaps out of it. Our budding philosopher in- tends to still further pursue his search for higher education in some nearby univers- ity-we hope it's not C. C.
