Tiff as . safffaviaiea-ffl JOSEPH J. LORDI Joe Holy Name. Chubby Class Vice President, 45 Varsity Busebnll, 45 Varsity Basketball, 4. In our opinion, Joe is Valentino's only rival and the one and only answer to a maiden's prayer. joe is a hard student, and the questions he asks in class show that he wants to get to the bottom of things. Studies and athletics is a combi- nation that characterizes him. He is an athlete par excellence. He was the mainstay of the basketball team last season, and the entire student body knows of his ability on the baseball diamond. VVhen the discussions at the class meet- ings this year became heated, Joe was always an advocate of calm deliberation. Things have a way of leaking out, and we have learned that Joe takes an active and prominent part in several social affairs in Harlem. He is tactful, courteous, and considerate We shall always remember Joe as a regular fellow. a good sport, and a faithful friend. He learn-s the bounds of human sense. And sately walks within the fence. JAMES j. LORNE Jim Holy Name. Secretary, 3g Manager, Swimming. The aristocratic profile that adorns this corner belongs to ,lim Lorne. jim came to De La Salle from Holy Name School. Four years of association with him have taught us to know and appreciate his many manly qualities. jim is one of those sincere young men who endcars himself to his companions, while commanding the respect of all those with whom he comes in contact.

Jim has serious intentions of studying engineering, but with such a rare profile, Belasco or Dillingham may grab him up and star him on Broadway. Lay low jim! Remember-Barrymore is get- ting old.

Ed. a real scholar. a born leader, and :i V .1 he ' DAVID V. LENAHAN EDWARD W. LEWIS Haskell St. Anse1m's. EDQ Eddie. De La Salle Grammar. H SJ Dave Debating Sneietyg Prom Committee, 3, 43 Vice Fnotlmll, 3, 45 Baseball, 3, 45 Track Manager, Pwsldelll- 23 Manager of Baseball, 4' 45 Swimming, 3, 45 Class Relay, 3, 4. Dave entered De La Salle in Sep- tember 1924. In the two years that he has been with us, he has made many friends and most important of all has been able to keep them. As an athlete, Haskell has proven himself worthy of 3. regular berth on the swimming team, the baseball team and the football team. In the Senior year Haskell was intrusted with the responsible position of track manager: and it must be admitted he filled this position in a very efficient man- ner. The class room is always merry when Dave is around. His original humor and dry wit have brought him much popularity. Dave intends to take up the study of Physical Training and we know that he will realize his ambition, In leaving us Dave we bid you a fond farewell and hope that the fellows we inieet through life will be as true as you. We may characterize Dave as capable, willing, enthusiastic, and humorous. perfect gentleman. is one of the few men in our section whom we might call a dyed- in-the-wool De La Sallitep All his school days have been spent under the Red and Blue of Old De La Salle. One of Eddiels greatest characteristics is his staunchness to friends. It takes time for him to seal a friendship with you, but when he does it lasts. His good nature has made him quite a favorite among all those who know him. Besides being personally at- tractive, he also possesses real ability. Ed has never been found wanting in his studies, but has always stood on the safe side of the scholastic balance. He has confined his athletic energies to the managerial positions of sports. In his Sophomore and junior years, he was as- sociate editor for the Record. His un- tiring efforts contributed greatly to the success of our Junior Prom. Class work holds no terrors for him, and so next year he is OH' to Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Though we part as class- mates, let us hope that our friendship will always endure.

my from w ga f 5 Agiiiffiiiiiiiiifiiiliitiiiiki. EDWARD D. LOVE Ed St. Thomas the Apostle UEddie9l Editor in Chief, Torch: Secretary, Archon- frnternityg Vice President 1: Secretary 49 K. D. C.g Cross Country 3, 4. Ed is known to all the fellows as our scholastic genius. To win the excellence medal for three consecutive years is no small accomplishment. In testimony of its recognition of his ability, the class elected him to the responsible post of Editor-in-Chief of the Torch. His know- ledge is not limited to one or two subjects, but includes them all. Eddie in his own quiet way, has succeeded where many others have failed. Like all serious char- acters, he is surprisingly forceful. He has been a steady worker, and when he steps on the platform to receive his diploma, he will be given the just reward for four years of honest and successful labor. He is prominent in all class activities, and holds his own on the athletic field. For two years he has been a memlber of the Varsity Cross Country Team. His intel- ligence and personality assure him of a bountcous measure of prosperity. :'Still they gazed and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew. DANIEL F. MCAULIFFE Dan Our Lady Of Good Counsel. Vice President, 2, 45 Critic, Debating Societyg Baseball, 4g Class Relay, 2, 3, In our eyes, Dan is a celebrity-he has shown us the heights to which :1 native of Astoria can climb. He is pleasingly plump, genial, dresses his hair like Ed Pinaud, makes awful wise-cracks, and blushes like a ripe tom-at-oe. On occas- ion Dan can be serious-when the presi- dent is a trifle late and Dan takes over the reins of the class meeting, or when he interprets Rosencrantz, in Hamlet, for our ediiication. Among his most valued pos- sessions Dan numbers his rare tenor, which at times is rather flighty, and his jigging ability. He learned to jig when he was very young and now performs quite cleverly, though his left foot has a tendency to go faster than his right. Dan's ready smile and naive wit have made him quite popular with his more serious com- panions. He has all the qualities of a good politician. Ability to trace his an- cestry back to the Ould Sod will certain- ly bc no bar to his success as such in New York City, Dan you may count on our votes and those of our children. Yes, they'll be cast early and often, too! LQ Mm fagertbliirty-nine tw faith 9 2 ellis-ilel sr
