§ I E M OKIES Margaret Cole Marg “There’s nothing so kingly as kindness. And nothing so royal as truth.” Throughout Marg’s” four years of High School training with us her rolling brown eyes and her sunny smile have won her many friends. Marg is es- pecially known for her kindness to all. and is always ready to go out of her way to help another. “Marg has her heart and soul set on entering a training school for nurses. The class of 36 wishes you all the luck in the world, “Marg.” Earl Decker “Earl” “Ambition has no rest.” Earl’s” cheerful greetings and pleasant personality have won him many friends. A serious student always busy hut never too busy to smile. Earl was a letterman on the football squad and also prominent at all social events. The orchestra also claims Earl as a worthy member. As for the future, we think he is a little air-minded, and surely a good worker like Earl can acheive success in aviation or any other objective he chooses. Well, we all wish you a happy landing, Earl. Walter Friewald “Fu” “There is no royal road to learning.” Walter has made himself an indispensable asset to Catholic Hi’s official decorating staff for affairs. He is one of the quietest boys in the group. He takes a keen delight in helping his friends in difficulties. By the way, his scholastic work is cer- tainly worth noticing. Stick to your purpose, “Fu. Were ail with you. Stephen George “Steve” ”Thc scholar longing for unlimited knowledge and power to grasp the universe.” Stephen George is known for his scholastic attainments. Consi- dering his personal traits, we find him industrious, understand- ing, and self-confident. His in- terests are dispersed throughout various fields. This young man has added his share to the deve- lopment of the music department by rendering four years of faith- ful service in the orchestra and band. Realizing that he was lay- ing the plans for his future, he prepared himself with a firm background upon which to lay the foundation of his life’s am- bition, namely, to matriculate at a noted engineering school. James Curley “Half Pint” “In a great soul everything is great.” Here ladies and gentlemen you are introduced to our “blushing violet and to Half Pint, one of Catholic Hi’s versatile reserve half-backs. He is just plain “Jim to us and has endeared himself to his classmates by his untiring efforts in social activities and athletics. James Dowdell “Jimmie” I may not be strong, but try to do me wrong.” Listen all. while we introduce the “midget Hercules” of the Senior Class. Jimmie” must have forgotten to grow, at least that’s our impression. Yet his little acts of kindness and boyish fancies have won him many ad- mirers. His industriousness, com- bined with a willing attitude, have made him a topnotcher in the commercial group. Ask Jimmie if quality, not quantity, counts. James Gaffney “Gaff” ”I,o! how he conquers drawbacks! hoi obstacles all fall!” Gaff,” although small in sta- ture, proved himself to he mighty in oratorical ability, es- pecially when the pigskin could he thrown into his speech. His genial disposition and his witticisms won him many friends. “Gaff displayed rare skill on the basket ball floor. The class of ’36 feels sure that Gaff will over- come every obstacle in life. John Godfrey “John” “Happiness is not perfected till it is shared.” It seems that some people have the ability to make others happy by their own good nature. John is endowed with this gift. His nature is a magnet drawing friends to him. As he is small he did not hold a position on the Varsity, but he played basket- ball with the Junior Varsity last year. John took part in the intra- mural league this year. We shall remember for a long time the keen enjoyment he gave us at the big Pep Meeting of the year. 16
