f as C - I -7' ROY J. KENEL Roy, Scotty Holy Name School Class Rvprpxvzztaliw A. A. 1, Z, 3: Bas- ketball Assistant lllanagcr 3: Constitution Committee 4,5 Dante C0-umziifrc 4. One of the first to become popular in our Freshman year was Roy Kenel. As proof of this, he held office in his first year at De La Salle. In this year, he forged ahead and set a standard for the class. All through the four years he has retained his high standing in social and scholastic activities Roy is as lively and as witty as anyone when the boys gather on the campus and he is an industrious fellow. He intends to study Civil Engineering at Cornell. As he stars in Mathematics, we expect to find the name Kenel high in Engineering circles some years hence. One of his attributes. at which many wonder is his ability to remain awake and alert during any lesson. Per- haps he owes it to his placid disposition, for nothing short of a catastrophe disturbs him. Roy has always been, a leader, and such popularity must be deserved. He is quiet and unassuming and one would never suspect that he had so much talent. He is as bril- liant on the dance Floor as he is ill the class room, which seems to us a rare combination. 29 REGINALD T. KENNEDY Reggie Corpus Christi, Chicago 'Bu.vinv.v.r .ilunagvr Ymflvnnk 4,5 Conxtilu- tional Committee 4,' Class St'C'l'6'flH'j' 4.4, 4. From De La Salle of Chicago comes Reginald Kennedy. Soon after his arrival he distinguished himself by showing the way to the class in the quarterly examina- tions. It seems to be a regular occurrence for Reggie to lead the class. Since he ar- rived, he has participated in ten examina- tionsg and statistics prove that he won the highest position in nine of them. This is an unoiiicial record for the Institute. Nev ertheless Reggie is human. He is always willing to help any of us when we are faced with some diflicult problem. He is very conscientious. Wlieti he is about a thing. he leaves no stones unturned. He is oi de- character, a type that will surely mark in the world some day. Reg- termined make his gie is the opposite of the Chicago individuals that we read about these days. He also a loyal supporter of the class, and school. He is always conspicuous at track meets, basketball games, class dances, etc. Reg- inald Kennedy won the medal ,for general excellence in his Sophomore and Junior years, and he is well on the way of winning it in his Senior year. VVhatever mode of life he may choose, he is bound to be a leader in it. A gentleman, and a scholar, Reginald Kennedy.

Harry is one of the suburbanites who are members of the class of '27, Every morning Harry has to arise at an early hour in order to make his train. He usually catches the last one and arrives in school sometime during the second period. According to Harry there is a wreck on the railroad every day, con- sequently he is late. Harry's power of argumentation has given him a prominent position on the debating team. When Harry begins to talk all the class listens and are in the majority of cases convinced by his pleasant voice. Besides being a prominent debater Harry is also one of the best Cross country men in the school. During his sec- ond and third years he was one of the most outstanding members of the team. His good work was rewarded and during the past year he also managed the team. Be- sides being an outstanding athlete Harry is also one of the social lions of the class. During his junior year he was a member of the committee that made the Junior Prom such a great success. After graduating Harry intends to continue his education at Manhattan. VVe will not at all be surprised if in a few years we see Harry as one of the intercollegiate cross country stars. Wie all extend to Harry in departing from us the best of luck and happiness in the years to come. JOSEPH H. HAYES joe De La Salle Grammar Track Team 1, 2. W joe Hayes holds the distinction of be- ing the youngest member of our class.N In spite of his youth joe has taken an active part in school activities. Hayes was a tnem- ber of the midget track team, which walked away with the Private School Champion- ship, in his Freshman and Sophomore years. He has been a participant in the De La Salle Field Day events and an enthusiastic spec- tator at the Institute's indoor games. Many a time Joe's voice has boomed out en' couragement to the relay team whether ,it was in the front or struggling to make-up lost ground. Joe is one of the few members of the class who are not Adonis'. Instead of spending his time entertaining a blonde, Cfor that is the only kind he could enter- tain as he is a gentlemanl, Hayes entertains himself reading books of the Wild and Wloolly VVest. In all probability Manhattan College will receive Joe next September as a student in the Accountancy course. We expect that in a few years a C. P. A. will follow Ioels name blazoned across an ollice door in a downtown building. Well, Joe. here's good luck and au revoir, butl not goodbgc. l l2Sl

One cold morning in the winter of 1924, a red headed lad by the name of Thomas Mahoney burst suddenly into our midst and confidently Hung himself into the activities of the class with all the enthusiasm and vigor characteristic of a Mahoney. Tom went at his studies with -El. will. and showing marked brilliancy, finished with the leaders of the class. In his second year Tom con- tinued his excellent school work and be- came a member of the famous De La Salle Swimming Team. Coming back to the fold for the third year we found an old friend, Prother Cassian, again our teacher which delighted Tom. The crucial year for high school students had come and Tom came through with flying colors, both in studies and athletics. Then the anticipation! A senior at .last. More popular than ever, with a host of friends Tom was elected as Secretary of the Athletic Association by a popular vote of the school. The members of the TORCH Committee selected him as the Editor in Chief. Tom has completed four years of high school work at De La Salle Institute and has graduated without a condition, a model student. . 301 EVERETT J. MANNING Pop St. Peter's School l In the Fall of 1923 there came to De La Salle a very tall shy freshman, whoi re- plied to the name of Everettg it was not long before his comrades affixed to hini the insignia of Pop and by that name he has been known to- four successive years of high school. From the beginning Pop seemed to disagree with no one, not even his lessons, so in the due course of time Brother Richard claimed him in two major sports, track and basketball. But the fates had decreed that Pop take part in a more heroic role than that One day any ex- class waving a hand: on being he pointed to a there in all its of a high school athlete. cited boy rushed into the copy of the News in his asked if he wanted water picture in the paper and noble outlines was the picture of Pop who it seems is a prominent fire fighter in the colony on Governors Island. After the class had got over the shock three years later. he told us all he was slated for VVest Point. After the class had got over that. it was time to graduate and we have dubbed Manning the human electric chair but we forgive him and hope some day to see Pop l' a general in the U. S. army.
