,f ,I 1 .af A FRANK JOHN BOBBLIS WORCESTER, MAss. t'Bob lintered from lloly Cross 135 Massachusetts Law Club .Bobbo has spent but one year with Twenty-three, having transfered from Holy Cross last September, but in no time at all he does that little trick known as 'tpulling down the marks with perfect ease. And withal he has enough spare time to ride along with the leaders in Freshman Law. Whatls a double course? Not the least of his attainments is holding down his third of Pinkerton's office, which is quite a job. Along with Kooksi and the man from Central office, he completes a famous trio. LOUIS CHARLES BOISLINIERE ST. LOUIS HIJOL17! Philonomosian C35 645 The West as long as we can remember has been aiding us materially in the replenishing of the great gap which has existed in our class, since our nie- morable freshman year, when forced vacations held sway and education conquered. Lou came as an adjunct in the junior year, and it can be rightfully and truthfully said that his ad- dition has been an incentive to many, although on the other hand his ability has prevented many testi- monials from gracing the fireplaces of Eastern homes. He is completing his first year of law in twenty-three also, and while we realize he must graduate and then proceed to pass over a vast sea of experience, nevertheless our knowledge of his qualifications marks him as a successful lawyer. JEROME PAUL CASEY SCRANTON, PENNA. Ci-l'erry'! Treasurer. of Pllilodemic C45 Merrick Debate C45 Dapper and debonair unheralded and unsung, an entrant from St. Thomases' came upon the class of 1923 to prove that can is greater than Kant. Fresh from the wind caves of Scranton, famous and well- known for weddings, jerry, with the exuberance of youth, became one of the leaders of the class, scholastieally and socially. A personitication of Vanity Fair, a walking model of Vogue and a dis- ciple of what the well-dressed men will wear this season at Deauville and San Moritz, the culture of Athens, the sophistication of Park avenue and the scholarly attainments of Oxford all in one-that is our man Jerry.

WILLIAM H. AMEND NEW Yoluc CITY Hllillu Pliilonomosian C21 C37 f-lj 11355 lfootball UD C-U Rifle 'llC'3.Il1 CU Q25 Q33 f4l lfoutliall Clj C23 tilte Club flj Q25 For four years Bill has been the safeguard of the class against the wiles of the crafty professors who try, once in a while, to slip over something on thc innocent students. Never did an obscure meaning go unchallenged, never was the slightest doubt ex- isting after Bill put the erring prof through a questionnaire. And the practice gained there was not wasted, for without a doubt he is one of the leading debaters of the college, and he held the presidential chair of the Philonomosian Society. But the acquisitive' faculty is but a small part of his makeup. VVhenever a favor was needed, all knew where to turn. Anything from a cigarette to something big-Bill would try to do it for you, and try his best. ROBERT ALOYSIUS BACON VVASHINGTON, D. C. f'Bob The virtues of modesty and silence, all rolled into one, making a complete compact individual, and one of the pillars of 1923. Bob in his four years has garnered more than his share of testimonials, so much so that he has been accused of making a collection for decorating purposes. Everything from philosophy to chemistry has fallen before him, but this is merely an instance of his versatility-a well rounded all around man-as we perceive him. HENRY BAKER HI-Iobeyw UI-Iarryi! In the midst of a calm, quiet winter, there came upon the secluded and unobtrusive solitude of Georgetown a gust of northern atmosphere, Hobey, bringing the atmosphere of the Big Greenfl and the environment of NVhite River junction, took up his residence among us. Emulating his now deceased, illustrious namesake, Hobey created quite a furor not with the puck, but in the more dignified pastime, made famous by Elwell, causing the premiers of Hoyle to look to their laurels.

CHARLES JOSEPH CONIFF VVHEELING, VV. VA. Bony f'Charlie', Manager Varsity Football C45 White Debating Society 415423 Class llaseball CD CZJ C31 C-U Class Basketball CID C21 C37 If one should ask how many bricks in the Healy building, and you are ignorant of the exact number, ask Charlie and he will tell you. Anything pertain- ing to Georgetown, Charlie knows, for in eight years of servitude you are bound to learn much. The only thing he isn't quite sure of is the altitude record in the Demerit Flight event open to all-liberal handi- caps. For although after many years of practice and privation in trying to break the bonds of Morpheus, Charlie finds them most overpowering. Much has been said about the time when the Sphinx will speak. He is the possessor of humor the aridness of which makes the Sahara a bounding main in comparison. FRANCIS JOHN CONWAY DETROIT, MICHIGAN Frank', White Debating Society C11 C23 Philonomosian Debating Society C31 C45 Student Council C53 Class Treasurer C35 Junior Prom Committee C35 A survivor. One of the original entrants. One who has lived through natural selection, sur- vival of the Fittest, arrival of the Heetest. But this lad fro11I the city of pinion gears has not conze through without the marks of a struggle with the paternal dis- cipline. Frank has not left the imprint of his spikes upon the diamond or track, nor has he spilled his gore upon the gridiron, but as for tripping the light fantastic in and about the 'fRose and Oak rooms of Washington-well, now, thatls his game. We abhor predictions and prophecies, but we know that in a short time the famous Fairbank slogan will be changed to Have you a Regent stove in your home. JOHN PATRICK COONEY, JR. HI.lN'l'SVILLE ALA. 5 Pete Member Publicity lTurcauC4J lintered from Spring Hill CollegeC3j Another added entrant, but this one from the cloistcred retreats of Spring l'lill. Pete spent the years of his adolescence i1I a place where the dis- cipline was more rigorous than the paternal atmos- phere of Georgetown. Bearing the earmarks and appearance of a sagacious man, Pete maintained his equilibrium by achieving success, socially and scho- lastically, especially in the art of terpsichore where the lightfootedness of his Southern ancestors C21l1lC to the fore. ,f
