Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Business Manager ANTHONY LOUIS CORBO Philadelphia, Pa. Goal: To live a full, happy life Course: Stenographic “Bo,” may your ambition be real¬ ized to the fullest extent. ROBERT E. LEE Philadelphia, Pa. Goal: To be a success Course: Stenographic There was a Lee a while ago Who went down in defeat, But “Reds” will never lose in life. He’s just too big to beat. NED FRANCIS STAKE Mount Union, Pa. Goal: To play professional baseball Course: Pattern making “Ned” tossed a mean ball on our varsity baseball team. Rumors have passed around that he makes the Mount Union girls fall as fast as did the opposing batters. PAUL COOKE Philadelphia, Pa. Goal: To be a man among men Course: Salesmanship “Paul” possesses a gift of gab, He uses it right along; It seems a salesman needs it, So we guess it isn’t wrong.

THE CLASS FRANK DAVID BAVUSO, Pre.ident Philadelphia, Pa. Goal: To become an accomplished ten¬ nis player Course: Salesmanship A leader of the first degree, Tried by years and true. For all his friendly deeds we owe Eternal thanks to “Boo.” January 20, 1938 Dear Classmates, Ten cherished years have followed us from childhood to young manhood. The friendships we have acquired here during this time will always be cherished. May the name of Girard and what it has meant to us never be erased from our memories. To each of you I extend my most sincere wishes for a successful and profitable life. As you leave, rememb er these two verses which are extracts from Archibald Ralston’s “Girard Hymn.” I feel that they state more clearly than anything else what Girard means to us: We sing of him who nobly willed, ’Tho’ his great heart has long been stilled, That we should have a father’s hand To guide us as Our Father planned. ’Tho’ far from thee at manhood’s dawn, From stately hall and rolling lawn, Still tireless on t’ward thee we roam; Girard, thy name to us means home! Sincerely, Frank Bavuso [9]

PHILIP ABELE Philadelphia, Pa. Goal: Private secretary Course: Stenographic When it comes to making silence golden, “Phil” knows how. He’s a first class stenog, a good athlete, and a friend worth having. NESHAN ALEXANIAN Philadelphia, Pa. Goal: To succeed Course: Accounting “Alex” was seldom heard from till it was time to laugh; then he stole the show. It’s a wonder that Allen Hall stood the shock of a laugh like his. GEORGE R AGNEW Pittsburgh, Pa. Goal : Orchestra leader Course: Salesmanship and music His violin he played with skill, His playing never failed to thrill; If “Bob” goes on as he has come, He’ll be a credit to the “Hum.” IRVING ASCHENDORF Philadelphia, Pa. Goal: To go to college Course: Accounting Despite his lack of stature, “Ash” played an important jtert in the college activities. His voice could be singled out in any argument, and his work in the gym was beyond reproach. Ill]
