Th e 'iliortzli GERVAIS McDONOUGH If muric be the load of mind, play on. Mac, Micky George Washington Secretary of the Clan 1, 2, J,' Organist 3, 4. Four years ago a student came to De La Salle. Prom whence? No one knew. Through a series of investigations we found that his name was Mac, that he came from George Washington and that he could playa piano. Until the first examinations this was all we could find out about Mac. Then we found him to be an exceptional student who had a wonderfully winning personality. So high did the class opinion of him soar that they elected him secretary three suc- cessive years. a feat that nobody in any other office in the class has duplicated. Although he is not athletically inclined, Mac has followed the teams in their va- rious endeavors with the real De La Salle spirit. Although the report has not been substantiated. it has been rumored that he intends to be a professor. But for Mac we have a fond farewell and best wishes for success in his enterprise. ROBERT C. NUGENT Acxiom :peak louder than u-'ordx. Rog. Bob Xavier High Barkeiball 3. 4,' Captain 4,' Barelzall J, 4,' Track 3,' Clan Relay 3,' Spar!! Com- mitleef Arcbronfraremily 3, 4. Two years ago De La Salle threw open her doors to welcome smiling Bob Nugent. He was assigned to 3A and in about twenty minutes hc had everyone calling him Bob. Our associations with Rog have shown him a student. a sports- man and a gentleman. Rog has always kept well on the safe side of his studies and as an all-around athlete there are few to compare with him. Since he chose De La Salle as his Alma Mater, he has won for himself laurels in basketball, baseball and track. Soon after his en- trance, he won for himself a berth on the regular basketball team and the year after was elected captain. In baseball he proved to be one of the outstanding shortstops in the city high schools. Bob expects to enter Manhattan where he is going out for the football team, which we are sure he will make. ln parting, Rog takes with him our sincerest wishes for future success. at fn lwyig .. fi' ,

'fllace 'llioreli JAMES MEADE Few lbingr are impoxiible to diligence and Mill. Jimmy, General P. S. 89 K. D. 1, 2, 3, 4,' Clan Relay 2, 35 Clan Bmketball 2, 3,' Torch Sfdjf. On September twentieth, four years ago, a bashful. belated group of young- sters was herded into the auditorium of De La Salle. Among that Freshman class was one whose composure gave many a heart cheer on that memorable morning. Jimmy Meade all through his high school career, as on that first morning, has faced everything and everyone with a smile, and with an original sense of humor. General has always been a loyal and true supporter of De La Salle, and Jimmy's retiring qualities, and desire to shun the lime- light, have served to make him one of the most popular members of the class. The traditions of De La Salle have been built on the concrete foundation of men whose spirits were such as Jimmy's and now that he is about to leave the old class. we hope that he will say au revoir but not adieu. Good luck, Jim. JOHN MEANY BleJ.red influence of one true loving mul on analberf' Jack Blessed Sacrament K. D. C. I, 2, 3, 4,' Clan Track Team 3, 4,' junior Varxily 4,' Torrb Slaff 4: Swimming Team 4,' Clair Barkellmll 4. On his graduation from Blessed Sacrament, back in 1926, John Meany immediately chose De La Salle as his future Alma Mater. He entered the por- tals smiling, and the walls of De La Salle will reflect that smile long after Jack has left. Jack is a quiet, amiable fellow who has proven himself a good mixer, a good sport and a gentleman. V He has always kept himself well on the safe side of the scholastic balance because of his interest in his studies. His endeavors have also included athletics, for he has been a mainstay on the class relay team and the basketball team as well as having served on the varsity swimming team. It is Jack's intentions to enter Fordham and take up dentistry, and we are sure that the success of his high school career will follow him in his future endeavors. Au revoir, Jack.

The 'iliotc li DENNIS O'CONNELL A prirzcelier looking man never rtepl thru a p1'mre'.f ball. Dinty, Dennis Xavier Clan relay 1, 2, 3,' Clair Barketball 2, 3, 4,' K. D. C. 1, 2, 3, 4: Mgr. of Clan' Bas- ketball 4,' A. A. Reprefentatitfe 4. It is not often that one meets such a fascinating personage as we find in Dinty. Although slight in stature hc has those things in his make-up that suggest manli- ness and beget friendship and respect. However small Dinty is regarded by-all, and not unjustly, as being one of the intelligentia of the class. So much is this manifested that the class saw lit to elect him A. A. Representative and Manager of the Class basketball team. Lest we forget, we must say that Dinty is a pugilist of no uncertain record. His tales about the days of John L. often held the entire class in mute astonishment until the bell rang announcing the winner. XVc are sure that We will miss our little pal whose sterling qualities are sure to guide him to success throughout his future life. Promising as a scholar, as a student and as a gentleman, however small, Dennis O'Connell. CHARLES PASSLER Thy modexty if a candle to thy merit. Charlie. Schmaltz Holy Name School K. D. C. 25 Prayer Monilar 1, 2, 3: Baseball 3 ,' Track 4,' Croft Country 4,' Clan Baskeiball 2,' Clan' Relay 3: Arab- conffalenzity 1, 2, 3, 4,' Torch Staff. In Charlie Passler we have a fellow who is one of the staunchest supporters of De La Salle in all his activities. Schmaltzing'haben, as he is familiarly known, has represented De La Salle on two of its varsity athletic teams. He staged a surprise toward the end of the Cross Country season by advancing to the position of second man on the var- sity team. His hobby, strange to say. is Chemistry, and Brother Charles and he often leave the class in complete bewil- derment during their discussions of for- mulae and theories. Charlie has made a host of friends during his four years in his Alma Mater. In his various activi- ties at school he has shown the neces- sary qualities to carry him to success in any walk of life that he may enter. We now say Good Bye to our good friend and classmate. l ii U -' ri g V 5 9. - l F. ,. 11 I.
