CLASS '26 BOOK 3. Donald Francis Demont A quiet worker, a stedfast friend'' Donald is very shy and retiring, but at heart he just loves to be socialsle. He has English fourth hour in Room 22. Every now and then he proves to us that he is truly present by spouting forth streams of hidden knowledge. Donald is a great outdoors man and is the only boy in the class who has been awarded the Eagle for his prowess in scouting. Catherine Mary Dempsey I'll smile while the rest oj the world goes by Catherine is not related to Jack, although some people think that there is a slight resemblance. She has dark hair which she wears in a most becoming boyish bob. When she smiles she just beams all over. We envy her because she has a wonderful limousine, yet lives only two stones throw from the school. Helen Catherine Dempsey Always ready, ahvays there, Always willing to do her share We cannot help liking Helen as she is always so lively and full of fun. But she can be very serious at times. When she is working as secretary of the Dramatic Club, j'ou'd hardly know her, she's so dignified and industrious. Her major sport seems to be tennis, but her specialty is working with insects and animals in the Biolog ' Lab. She has just loarls of friends of both sexes. Earrings are very becoming to you, Helen.

CLASS '25 BOOK 3 Margaret Wilson Cunnirjgham Slie is a bonnie wee thing Greta is a typical Scotch lassie born where the bagpipes skirl. She seems to be very demure, but those twinkling eyes contain myriads of sparkling humor. She is an ex- cellent dancer, and it is rumored that she frequently in- dulges in the Highland Fling. School work is Greta's forte. If it were not for her Scotch characteristics, we would be influenced to believe her a French girl on account of her modish attire and ability to parlez-vous. Alfred James Dailey All things come to him who stands and waits Alfred is so unobtrusive that he walks on his tiptoes for fear of making a noise. He lives just on the other side of Moran Square. Even so, he does not get much practice for track because he starts for school too early. Glee Club, Band, Baseball, Track. Stanley Earl Dalbeck Keep her for she is thy life It seems that Dolly's favorite pastime is hanging around the second floor at recess time. It's funny how he always picks on the short and cute ones. A good sport, he has taken part in football and basket-ball. He believes also in doing some of his lessons which is unusual for a young man in his position. Baseball (3-4), Football (4). Mary Leah Daley Jest so that it may not become earnest When Irish eyes are smiling and a hearty spasm of laughter shakes the air, know ye without further introduc- tion that the lady is Mary. Her motto is Omnibus at 7.15 A.M. and 2 P. M., always excepting chance social en- gagements in 26. Mary is rather a remarkable gymnast, and her lively and graceful antics on the floor of the As- sembly Hall, have often aroused snappy comment from Miss Collins. Her real specialty, however, is the Swanee River clog, at which she is adept. It is our heartfelt wish that Mary's future path in life may include no prone-falls or even deep-knee bends. Paul Richard DeBarge Perseverence keeps honor bright Paul is considered one of the popular boys of the class, especially by the fairer sex. Perhaps his snappy appear- ance plus his rosy blush, contribute largely to his success. Elizabeth, his Ford, accompanies him to school every day. Hunting is Paul's favorite amusement and not infrequently does he bring home the bacon. Paul is employed every second week, but he certainly makes up for lost time the next. 18

CLASS '25 BOOK John Francis Dooling O liberty! thou goddess heavenly bright John studies when he has to, but he has plenty of other ways to spend his time. He is an excellent skater and a graceful dancer. He is fond of the movies. That is why he ushers at Shea's. Baseball (3-4). Paul Thomas Driscoll Wearing his widsom lightly A happy-go-lucky boy, famous for his black and white shoes. They are his one sensitive point. He will be re- membered for his cartoons; the only unfortunate thing is that he usually takes greater pleasure in them than any- one else. Paul's one great delight is golf, although he could easily qualify as a movie critic. Occasionally he has his quiet moments, but we ask him, How often do they occur. Leon Arthur Drury, Jr. My life is one dem'd horrid grind Leon is always calm and composed. Every morning he walks into Mr. Hubbard's class like a little tin soldier. He'd brave anything. He and Mr. Howard are inseparable. Beware of him when he puts on his Beau Brummel manners because he's out to sell a ticket for a dance. A good sport and a good dancer. Dramatic Club (2-3-4), French Club, Orchestra, Red and Gray (3-4), Manager of Basket-ball, Class Play. Paul Kenneth Dudley By knowledge we do learn ourselves to know Paul is one of our left-handed friends whose glasses lend him an otvl-like look. We fear, however, that some of his ideas might come to grief if put to practice. He appreci- ates a joke immensely, especially if it is on someone else. To prevent a joke being played on him in the physical lecture room, he always either sits on his books or holds them tightly. Raymond Anthony Dunn A gentleman, a scholar, a true friend Raymond is in all respects a model Senior. He is in the foremost ranks of scholarship and is highly regarded by both teachers and pupils. A glimpse into his handsome, somewhat stern, yet boyish features cannot but evoke admiration for the lofty ideals and characteristics por- trayed there.
