Iohn Kelly who is better known as Father Kelly a graduate of Holy Name, entered De La Salle in his Freshman year. He is a studious young fellow and takes a live part in all the activities of the class. john has opinions of his own, and is not afraid to express them. Very often his speeches have thrown consternation into our class meetings. He is sort of a quite chap, but can always see the funny side of life He is a star member of the school debating team, and has very definite ideas on the present day social problems. Further enhancing and enn-obling his intellectual accomplishments is his sterling and vir- tuous character a combination which can- not fail to bring him success. John ex- pects to finish his studies at Notre Dame. NVe wish him luck, and hope to hear big things of him in the near future. RAYMOND D. KELLY Ray. Holy Name School. K. D. C., 43 Treasurer, 2g Varsity Baseball Team, 4. Ray is quiet, unassuming and gracious. Under a rather reserved demeaner is hid- den, the gay, loveable temperament ad- mired by all who know him. He is gen- erous, almost to a fault and his mag- nanimous nature just won't let him be petty or mean. As a student he is un- usually cleverg he grasps a subject quickly and without apparent effort he passes all Exams very creditably. In whatever he undertakes, Ray works with unabating energy and conscientiousness until he can regard the accomplishment of things with pride and satisfaction. His hobby is baseball. Ray, is congenial, faithful and capable. The class of '26 is justly proud to claim him as its own. Page thirty-five if 9 'El

A stranger passing Hanratty on the street would probably say, There's what I call a nice, unobtrusive boy . Now. Hen is a nice boy and if at times he is unobtrusive it's not his fault-for he commutes from the Bronx. Hen makes friends easily and looks best while absorb- ed in deep thought. When his thought processes are over working a peculiar ex- pression spreads over his physiogn-omy. This generally disappears after a few mo' ments however and leaves the old Hen we know so well. Although he admits that conditions are remotely bother- some to him we believe that somewhere within him lies latent genius. I-Ien's love is music and we get just an inkling of his enthusiasm for it if we but 1ne11tion Beeth- oven or Bach to him. These old masters are meat and drink to Hen. He gets :is much kick out of Prelude in D minor as the young degeneration gets out ol' Sweet Georgia Brown . IVe are all going to turn out wl1e11 Hen -conducts his first symphony. In the meantime we wish him success in facing the music. Page thirty-four . RAYMOND J. HARNETT - Ray P. S. 50. Ray Harriett, he of the slick hair and the nonchalant manner. has his mail address- ed to Olinville. He tells us that he only sleeps there-he has to have some defense. Ray has a way about him that is all his own. He gazes on the world half cynical, half approvingg manages to make his per- cents without apparent eifortg always ties his tie to show just enough neck and refuses even to get mildly excited. It's only when baseball season comes around that Ray gets at all interested. The Reason?-He's a walking baseball oracle and we all flock to him to have our ques- tions answered. Vague rumors have cir- culated lately about Rayls Dad owning the trading post at Olinville. Now Ray refuses to be interviewed on the subject but he admits his own prowness as an Indian tighter. By subtle processes we have therefore reasoned it out that some day Ray will take an active hand in run- ning the Olinville trading post. Yes, We learned all this after Ray had been to the Flaming Frontier . il. r 925i like

it Weill 'EUGENE J. KENNEDY Euwie, Red, Hughie. Our Lady of Good Council. Uluss Relay, 1. A few moments before the morning de- votion begins in class, we see as it were a Flaming torch of the most agreeable color, wend its way through a throng of boys, and stop at Euwie's seat. Then we hear a clear voice entone a prayer, and we know that Kennedy is at his post and ready for the day's work. Personally Kennedy is a fun-loving fellow, posses- ing' a happy disposition. Association with Frank Clark, his companion of the sta- tionery room, increases in him that na- tural bouyancy of spirit. His associates will tell you that to know Gene is to love hini. Always cheerful, his genial dispo' sition, has made him a fav-orite with his classmates. the faculty, and the student body. His attention has been devoted to study when not developing his musical talent. As a student his stumbling block is Spanish, otherwise the academic course holds no terrors for him. Although Gene has not revealed his future edu- cational plans we feel sure that he is going to make good. Page thirty-s'ia, CARL H. KLUBE Charlieg Carl. De La Salle Grammar.. Class President, 13 Secretary, 2g Class De- bating, 35 Class Editor, 33 Class Relay, 1, 2, 3, 4. A few years ago Carl was assailed with the contagious Wanderlust, and after hav- ing visited every country of any importance in Europe, he returned to continue his scholastic career at De La Salle. Carl is very quiet in class, so much so, in fact, that often one is not aware of his presence. He possesses that individuality that wins for him numerous friends. Carl immed- iately displayed his school spirit in the first weeks of his stay at De La Salle by his enthusiastic interest in all class activ- ities, and his response to the call for sup- port by the student body. He ranks the leaders of his class. and al- not too brillant in any particular among though branch, he maintains a standard which always keeps him among the leaders. His to duty and gentlenianly ways Fidelity stamp him as a staunch character. He is calculating in his ambitions, yet tender with appreciation and regard for others. beet ll .9 gal
