'i ADOLPH DESSOW A man of few words. The strong, silent type of gentleman. Turns as red as the proverbial beet when any one speaks to him about Viv. The odd part is that he doesn't blush when she talks to him. Oh, welll ANGELO DiDlO A shy face is better than a forward heart. The man who came to dinner-late. That's Angelo-the fellow who usual- ly comes into class tardy. He is a very conscientious fellow in his studies and usually carries a book in his hands. . I i Q Q li . ANNA DONNARUMMA A light heart lives long. All the boys in our class moved aside to give petite Anna the position of captain of our Service Club-the very first time a girl has attained the honor. In spite of the slightness of her stature, she looks all our big men in the eye and sends them on their way. RUTH DURING Good things come in small packages. Ruth keynotes her appearance with the phrase sweet and simple. Her raven tresses and long lashes have caused many of our hearts to skip a beat. Ruth seems to have only one worry in life-her bookkeeping home- work. Eighteen PETER DiRIENZO His wit invites you. God's gift to women. Pete is tall and dark, and an excellent cook. If you ever hear, A little butter in the dough will improve its taste, y0u'Il see Pete with his recipe for a new and better upside-down cake. Within a few years, we're sure Pete will be voted the ideal American husband. , glq. ii ELSIE FEBBRARO Of finer form and lovelier face. A little smile, a certain gleam in her eye, a few graceful movements of her hands, a faint blush and-another ad- mirer is added to her already over- crowded list. We really expect Elsie to write a book on How To Get Your Man, based on first hand information taken from her own files.

il SHIRLEY CROSSLEY How sweet and gracious even in common speech. This sophisticated blond girl never finds difficulty in borrowing her home- work, everyone is always willing to assist her. She would give any lawyer strong competition, for she most defi- nitely has that ability of winning people over to her side. GRACE DEMPSEY A modest maid and yet self-possessed. Despite her fighting name, Grace is the most agreeable character imagin- able. After a glance at her report card, we predict that she will make a very efficient and pleasing secretary. ALEXANDER DeFlNO He delights in mischief and noise. Alex is taking a correspondence course in How to Become a Boxer in One Hundred Easy Lessons. He prac- tices on his fellow students. Who can tell-he may have the makings of a world champion. JOSEPH DeNlCOLA Exceeding in common sense. Joe will long be remembered as the hard working sports editor of the Al- truist and Emerson's reporter on the Hudson Dispatch. His main ambition is to be a second Bill Corum or Jimmy Powers on a metropolitan daily. Seventeen ROSE DeGENNARO A maiden responsive to all summons. Whenever there was a call for a volunteer to sell tickets, or put up decorations, Rose was always first to offer her services. The experience she gained will enable her to carry on single-handed in any position that she may get. ALBERT DENZEL A tender heart, a well inflexible. Albert is one of our slickest seniors. He is very quiet but he doesn't miss a trick. He believes in making hay while the sun shines and love when the moon shines.

HAROLD FERRANDO The winds are out of breath pursuing him. Meet our combination of Fred As- taire, Mickey Rooney and George Mur- phy. When Pete begins swinging it on any dance floor, all the other couples seem to be at a standstill. In other words, Pete is tops when it comes to dancing. 1 GLORIA FITZPATRICK A heart most firm, a face ne'er blue. Gloria, our Irish colleen with the grand personality, possesses an innate ability to dress well. Besides coming to Emerson for the routine matter of an education, she apparently came to pioneer in the fashion world, for she is always setting new styles. Incident- ally, her popularity may be credited to her magnetic manner which has held many fascinated. FRED FIECHTER He whistles life away in perfect contentment. Fred likes anything athletic. His favorite sports are baseball and basket- ball, in both of which he is quite a skillful player. RITA FLORIO I A sight to dream of. This comely young lady personifies the spirit of liveliness. With her large brown eyes, long black hair, and multi- colored dresses, Rita is a pleasant sight for anyone to behold. Nineteen I 3... ' GLADYS FISK Life is not life at all without delight. Gladys tries to make herself incon- spicuous but her charming personality just will win out. One of her favorite pastimes is basketball, we sometimes wonder why. I . f I r I if I SHIRLEY FORSTER A dark-eyed winsome lass. When you see a raccoon coat glide down the street, you can be sure that Shirley is inside of it. ShirIey's ability to wear clothes is as noted as her love- ly smile and winning personality.
