tewiiiiieiiiifiiii misty it Myers is Us UifiU El1ills+iLt+vL4t.i+sF+1i CHARLES J. VOGEL WILLIAM A. WALKER Charlie St. Gabrie1's Billg Shortyg Tubby St. Rita's School K, IJ, C, Varsity Football 4. Clap hands, here comes Charlie. Four years ago our class was joined by the Teu- tonic Adonis, Charlie Vogel. After four years, he is still with us and only slightly changed. We said slightly. Yes, but Charlie has changed merely to adopt the new. He does the Charleston. Even in class his feet can't resist the invitation to give an exhibition. In the classroom, the locker room, the gym, or the laboratory, our friend can step with equal pep. He never worries: just forgets his troubles in the intricacies of the latest step. Natural- ly the young ladies are fond 'of him and we are delighted to say this fondness is reeiprocated. Charlie has besides quite some literary ability, He has served as a reporter for our class for two years and we can say that he has made our section one of the most attractive and interesting in every number of the Record. Despite what the future holds in store for him. I'm sure it must be justly said, His feet are useful as his licadu. VVho is to be more cherished than a pleasant and loyal comrade, a true and sympathetic friend? That is why we hold Bill so dear. A generous and trusting na- tureg a jovial dispositioug a magnetic per- sonalityg that is Bill all over. Tubby, is the kind of a fellow whom you cau't help but like. He is not related gto' Mickey Walker, but he will give him a good battle for his namxe, His vibrant spirits find out- let on the football field and behind the catcher's mask. Bill is just a goodnatur- ed, ,easy going fellow, whom we are go- ing to miss. He never makes much noise, but something is lacking when he is not present. Despite his rotundity, the bounc- ing lad pictured above can amble about the football field with the agility and speed of Grange. Bill personifies a generous heart, a calm force, and a determlined character. Page fifty-one sith 9 2. e, tsn13i.ieigml

will WILLIAM J. TIERNEY Bill Holy Cross Knight Treasurer, K. D. C.: Track 1, 2, 3, 43 Cross-country 2, 3, 45 Class Relay 3, 4. Behold the Class Adonis! Bill yields to no one when it comes to looks. Don't think Bill is of the Valentino sheik type, though. No, he is of the palm-olive var- iety-clear skinned, blue eyed and golden blonde. XfVhat a sight our beauty is when caught in one of his childish pranks. Those rose-red cheeks suffused with the blush of guilt yet wreathed with a smile of happy innocence that Won't wash off is enough to allay the ire of teacher or princi- pal. But beauty they say is only skin deep. Bill has other claims to fame. Like the other mennbers of our Hell's-Kitchen quartet Bill is quite a student, his specialty being French. Many a day have we sat openmouthed at the facile grace of w-ord and sound as the la and the le and the les and their brother words tripped lightly from the tongue of Comte de la Teirne. Bill is also an athletic luminary. As a high jumper he is without a peer at De La Salle while his worth as a middle dis- tance man won him a place on our cham- pion class relay. Au revoir, nionsieur Guillaume, Page fifty RUDOLPH J. UHEREC Rudy Cathedral High Rudy has been with us two years, yet lie has won his way into the hearts of ns all, by his true De La Salle spirit, his ready wit and his attention to work. A good student, and a talented humorist, he has been in great demand by the class in all its literary ventures. The interesting and instructive articles which he contri- buted to the various school and class pa- pers, augur well for his future journalistic success. It is in the forum, however, that Rudy has scored his most noteworthy vie' tories. The new and startling theories on the science of farming advanced by him in the oral English class of Junior year will long be remembered by his class- mates. Rudy expects to devote the next four years to the study of journalism. XVe have little doubt that his talent and in- dustry will earn for him in time, a posi- tion of leadership in his chosen profession. ln your zeal for authorship don't forget the lecture platform, Rudy! l ellfllsgdl
