CHARLES CYRIL O'DAY XVASHINGTON, D. C. slCy Asso. liditor Georgetown Journal 115125135 w'HSllll1Kt0ll Club Cy claims historic Georgetown as his birthplace and although he- does not shogut this proudly to the four winds, nevertheless he will willingly disclose this fact under cross-examination. Diligence and perseverance could be a Fitting characterization of this youth, for by practicing these virtues he has carried off more than his share of honors. He is one of those rare men whose quietness is apt to lead one to pass over his virtues, but like every true gentle- man and scholar his worth is true gold. SYLVESTER MANUEL O'GORMAN SOUTH Nl.-XNCIIESTER, CONN. -. 1 is Syl lix-Holy cross cn 'M mee ciuit an up C45 XVith the tinge of the morning sun showing in his curly locks and with a brave, if somewhat boastful demeanor, Sil entered Georgetown three years ago from l-loly Cross. He wished to get away from the baneful effects of New England and to acquire eul- ture in a city of greater prominence. Sil has calmly and quietly gone through his three years, absorbing knowledge in every way, scholastically and socially, and it is now that we sec the fruits of his efforts. He has labored, but not in vain. THOMAS THOMPSON PETZOLD DETROIT, MICH. 'tVVill Entered University .of Detroit C35 Vice-President Philodemic Debating Society Every day and in every way--. Why start a summary of a man's career by copying the expres- sion of a famous doctor? ls it apropos, is it sym- bolical or does it typify the man? All these we leave to your discretion and offer our ideas. One day last year, in the midst of a violent logic class, when judgments, terms and ideas were having the most detracting things expounded about them, the door flew open and. to our amazement, stood a blceting youth from the shores of Lake Michigan. Silence covered the class. Pctzold's my name, I'm from Detroit U. -lust dropped in to finish my course with you lads, and get a few honors. The wiser element of the class prevailed and our hero dived, until today he ranks amongst the foremost members of the class. Shall we hnish? -he's getting better and better. ,u

Other pens than ours have told the tale of the former Eastern bound youth, but fate has decreed that we shall be the enlighteners of Mike or Caleb, as you will, Immediately Ed stamped himself as a walking denial of the St Louis Blues. for in his acquisition of Eastern culture his unfa-ilingly good disposition won for him high esteem. The St. Louis Browns will never win a pennant until Ed becomes their manager, is our prediction, for in two years this youth has not only managed success- fully the baseball and basketball teams of 1923, but has earned for himself the soubriquet of the only playing manager on the circuit.

Did you know they have blue sand? Did you-what's the use? But he came East for an education, and he stuck for the length of the sentence. A big grin, friendliness, and readiness to help are his characteristics, and there is no doubt that he will make a success of his task of selling Lincolnettes.

Versatility is his hall mark. Charlie has taken a lick at tennis, basketball, track, oratory and acting, and far from being a jack of all trade, he is a topfnotcher in them all. A real gentleman, a clever student, a lasting friend and a Fine athlete.

Ethics and Psychology-but let us not draw distinctions. A ready mixer, a repartee as ready and sharp, a deep vein of wit, and a good dis- penser of oil,' Ujawnn should hold forth as com- pletely successful in life, as he has on the campus. WILLIAM JOSEPH RICCIARDI XVASHINGTON, D. C. Bill Business Manager Journal C15 C25 C31 Philodemic Society C45 O'Brien Medal CSD Honor Man CD C25 C31 VVillie is a close student-not of any particular subject, but he lives only two blocks away from college, the old saying, the nearer the church the farther from Godf' has no parallel in his case, for the astounding regularity with which he attends class got him his job of checking up on the less alert members. He is a grind, indeed, but not in char- acteristics. He can study more than any other two, but he never loses his pep and goodfellowship. And he does what he undertakes in speedy and thorough fashion, which augurs well for his deeds after he leaves Georgetown. SYLVESTER ROLL ELLswoRTif, MINNESKDTAX Spex'l Philodemic C45 Although only a one-year man in our midst Syl- vester has evidenced himself very much. From in- quiry we learned that his ability as an athlete, scholar and debater, while at St. Marys, his former Alma Mater placed him very far in the front of his class. His entrance among us, while not so marked, has showed progression, and judging from the toll of his social campaigns, he bids fair to lead even us to such glories.
