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

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. Quiet industrious, and con- scicntous, he possesses that rare faculty himself at the proper time. ability as a cueist Knot a has an uncanny genius for problems. Give him the di- of asserting Next to his eubistj, Jim solving trig hedral angle of a peanut tree and he can figure the amount of fruit in a can of prunes. 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.

EUSEBIUS D. MCDONNELL Macg -Chubbyg Fatg St. Francis Assisi. This rotuncl chap became a member of our famous battalion in 1922. From the day that Mac stepped up and took his place in our ranks, he has been an C11- thusiastic backer of the activities of the school. Loyalty is the outstanding cha- racteristic by which we will always Te' member him. Mac, too, is one of the bright lights and high spots of our social group. He acted in the capacity of danc- ing coach last year, at the time of our junior Prom. He proceeds about his du- ties with the utmost tranquility, which, at times, could almost be called slow mo- tion. Futhermore, he is a first rate class- mate, always smiling--inclined to follow the lines of least resistance, but he gets there just the same. He possesses a keen sense of duty, both to his ideals and to his friends. VVe hope that success will crown his efforts in the future. lNin or Lose-De La Salle. Page forty ' EDWARD G. MCGOUGH Mac . Xavier. Eddie K. D. C., 4: Class Editor, 33 Track Team. l, 23 Manager of Varsity Basketball, 43 Class Relay, 2, 33 Swimming, 3. Eddie or Mac as he is now often called is a good natured fellow who has always held the friendship of his class- mates. He is one of those pleasant chaps whom every one likes in spite of his faults. He is a good student, a jovial fellow and always taking an ardent interest in the school activities. The fact that Ed is not a member of the Debating Society does not hinder him from freely discus- sing the topics of the day. Indeed lid- die's argumentative propensities have won for him the title of official broadcaster of the class. In his Senior year Ed was appointed manager of our Basketball team and in this capacity gave evidence of real ability. Although books never worry Mac he is a good student and stands high in scholastic rating. It is our hope that he will carry through life the same cheerful disposition that has made him so popular with us. I 2 2 Q llssllwtftfrf
