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

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

Prom Committee, 45 Class Editor, 1, 33 Torch Staff: Track, 1, 2, 33 Cross Country, 2, 3, 43 Class Relay, 3, 4. F-our years ago, the Bronx sent us an ambitious youngster by the name of Har- old Mc Guinness. This young man with his winning smile, has since proven him- self worthy of De La Salle as a scholar and as an athlete. Harold has been a hard student during the entire course and has set himself well up among the leaders of the class. He has taken active part in all school affairs, whether they be scholastic, social, or athletic. His willingness to lend a helping hand to a pal in trouble has brought him steadfast friends among his fellow students. Descending from a line of prominent runners, Harold naturally be- took himself to Cross Country. For three years he was a member of the varsity squad in this sport. Harold had only one :fail- ing,-'tBetter late than never is his motto . May he never have to commute to busi- ness after he finishes his education! .:Tf' EDWARD P. MCGURK Turk St. Gabriel. Debating Team. Eddie, or as he is better known Turk , is a genial little fellow who since his arrival from. St. Gabriel's, on that eventful September morning four years ago, has made himself many friends. Al- though small in stature, Turk , as our good natured appelation indicates. is a man to be feared in debate-class debates or otherwise. Ed had been one of the main cogs i11 our class debating' team in some of it's tilts with our friendly rivals, A '26 . Turk's main failing' seems to be English book-reports. He is as much afraid of these monsters as a groom is oi the new mother-in-law. The varsity bas- ketball team lost a valuable prospect when Eddie decided to study rather than to in- dulge in this pastime. His Grey Irish tem- per asserts itself on numerous occasions, and it is from experience we have learned that despite his size Ed is no mean ad- versary when called upon to defend his rights. Eddie is well liked by his class- mates for his open geniality of manner and his seriousness of purpose which has characterized his every effort at De La Salle. 4---.--.-,-.ee.e.e.. . , -. .......s.D. ie-.- PUg92,f071i1l'0710e T f- ,. ... .,,-., Jus...
