Handsome, modest, and athletic is liow Lou impressed us. He surely loved a hot argument, too. If life meets Lou just lialf- zvay, he’ll reach the top somehow.

Born: January 29, 1926 Course: Academic and Print Shop Honors: Band, 7-A to 1-1; Girard News Staff, S-l; Sports Editor, S-2; Contributing Editor, Girard Magazine ; Baseball numerals, ’41, ’42. A rabid sports fan, Johnny did a fine job as Sports Editor of the News. Quiet and sympathetic—that is how we. will always remember him. ‘‘Undeveloped Ability” is his middle name. So ' Long, Pal! It is hard to take it now After you have gone, No friends are left with me To encourage me along. I’m saying so-long, Not good-bye, It wouldn’t be right — We’ll meet again sometime, swell guy. Life’s roadway now ' s unpleasant, I cannot help but say; l loved you best I could. We’ll meet again some day. Out on the wide and tortuous plains Of life; I cannot see How I’ll get along without you, How unhappy I’ll be. I see no more your cheerful eyes, Your voice l can’t recall. But I’d rather be in hell, Cause I miss you most of all. But just for now, So-long, Pal! How long again before we meet? No matter, Pal, it’s just been swell, Those years with you were all so sweet. fflarmtljiatt [ 28 ] Uatuiarg

GAETANO TURCO (Tom) 1526 S. 9th Street, Philadelphia Born: January 18, 1925 Course: General and Machine Shop Toni is the Casanova” type in physical features, but othenvise, he is just an ordinary, well-dressed “hummer. . .His quiet and unassuming attitude has made him one of the friendliest fellows in the class. Possessing ability in athletics, he fought the game of life at Girard successfully. May the outside zoo rid treat him as well as he has treated us. WARREN UXLEY (Ux) 117 E.

Ux found his greatest contentment in listening to Beethoven’s “Fifth Symphony or reading Sir Walter Scott ' s “Ivanhoe. He u-as quiet and dignified along musical and literary lines, but in our line of thinking he teas just one big smile. RICHARD WAGNER (Hans) 5723 Walker Street, Philadlelphia Born: April 27, 1925 Course: Academic and Accounting Honors: Gleq Club, J-2 to S-2; Cast: Silas Marner, Yellow Jack; Radio Play: Invasion from Mars; Contributing Editor Girard Magazine-, Cast: Office Boy Wanted-, What Men Live By. Six feet of fun in any atmosphere — that’s Hans. Whether flunking an exam, attending a funeral, or rendering advice to the lovelorn, he exemplified humor in typical Wagnerian style. His Rachmaninoff antics on the keyboard struck many pleasant notes in our memories. He’ll joke success out of life’s zvindpipe. LEROY E. WEBER (Webs) 724 N. 20th Street, Philadelphia Born: January 19, 1926 Course: Academic and Accounting Honors: First Lieutenant in Battalion; Second Prize Speed Typing Contest, J-2. Quiet and unassuming. “Web’s chief interests are saving recordings and the Batty. He did quite well in school with no visible effort. “Web” is the type that succeeds easily and has much in store for him. 1943 fflnrtnt ian

Glee Club Music is a very important cog in the Girard educational system, and our class missed none of its strong influences while we were within those ivy-covered walls. As a result, it turned out an exceptionally fine group of players and singers, of whom we take great pride. Our class comprised twenty-one seats in the Glee Club, and under the head of Edward McGuire, President, we sang through a successful term. From Bach ' s Cantata No. 78 to the Merry Frog, we sang our voices hoarse. But we’ll never forget those few precious hours of musical relaxation. Our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Carey and Mr. Banks for their expert guidance.
