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

,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.

THOMAS WILLIAM CORBETT NEW IIAVEN CONN. Y Tom', Leader of Mandolin C'lnbC3bC4b Sec. of Gaston Debating Soc. CZJ Cllee Club Orchestra CZJCSBC-U I'hilodemie Society C33 C-lj Manager of llasehall C45 Prefect of Sodality C4 President of Glee Club C-U Director of Orchestra C-U During the first two years Tom led somewhat of a quiet and secluded life and wrapped himself in an air of mystery. It was not until this year that the mystery was unfolded and by the responsibilities and trusts that Tom is carrying so successfully it is apparent that these first years were spent in laying a solid foundation which is the corner stone of his success, Tom's propensity for adding a few days on to the end of each vacation is well known, and Dame Rumoru hath it that the ivy-covered walls of New Haven hold a peculiar fascination for the young man. JAMES D. CUNNINGHAM HOLYOKE, Mass. jimmy Varsity Baseball C25 C35 C45 All joking aside though, Jim can catch anything from Art Reynolds' fast one to the dark road lead- ing into E. Milnoceket. jim hits them, too. Aside from those accomplishments, jim is the leader of the Collier Harmony Hounds, on whose account many moments of peaceful slumber have been disturbed. To make a long story short, we have learned from a correspondent of the Associated Press, that in the future Jim will spend his time between baseball and his law office. WILLIAM H. DALY LAWRENCE, Mass. Bill Charley Managing Editor of H0ya C3D Chairman nf Banquet Com. CSD Philodemic Debating C35 C41 lfditor-in'Cl1ief of Hoyal' C43 Class Baseball C25 C35 Domesday Hooks Staff C45 Along in the fall of 1920, while prospects of a championship football team were in view, there stole into our midst a young man who was leaving Chest- nut Hill to continue his course of studies on the banks of the Potomac, and soon manifested his ability as a reporter on the t'Hoya', Staff. His rise to Editor-in-Chief is a matter of history and was a deserving tribute to his labor and sacrifice. But lest one gain the impression that his activities consisted of indoor sports, get Bill to tell you of the time when acting as the star hurler for 1923 he grooved one for his room mate.
