He specializes in art which is his favorite pastime. He received his name “Suicide” from his teammates who claimed that he was always ready to take some chance. WILLIAM BOTTER “Bill” St. Patrick The Class of 1942 has in its folds the person of William Botter. A student of ihe highest type, he can easily be recognized by the expression “It’s a hard world”. He was President of the Commercial Club and fulfilled his duties efficiently. His journalistic ten- dencies are clearly shown in his office as editor of “The Chatterbox”. In his spare time he usually can be found playing the drums, and he seems most happy when “beating it out”.

MEMORIES Sixteen GEORGE BEARER “Teddy St. Patrick George is one of the “Seven Dwarfs of 98. He is very popular among the younger genera- tion of this city and many consider him one of their best friends. Although his pals tease him, saying that he should be a “cop , George really wants to enlist in the Marine Corps. And it isn’t for the uniform either, for we hap- pen to know he doesn’t need it. JAMES BERKEBILE “Berk’’ St. Benedict Being an only child. Berk missed the wholesome “knocks” of brothers and sisters; however, unselfishness is one of his dominant traits. He is an outstanding scholar of the sen- ior class: he likes Latin, social problems, and the girls of 102. Although Berk was never a Mission Representative, he has helped place his class at the head of the list. You will al- ways find “Berk” in a pleasant mood and ready for a good time just as long as it does not interfere with his studies. Intramural Basketball Operetta Cantata Band T. K. B. Club T. K. B.

Al- though a little timid, her talents are not hid- den. Her favorite pastime is skating, which she does most gracefully. A beautiful voice is not the least of her endowments! From her scholastic ability we are certain that Phyllis will find a place of honor in the commercial world and if perseverance speaks of success, she undoubtedly will stamp her mark in the future. ROSEMARY BISCHOF “Rosie” St. Joseph “Rosie” is reserved in manner, decidedly loyal to a host of friends and loved by all. Al- though a little timid, she doesn’t believe in burying her talents. She played basketball four years and in her senior year she was made manager of the girls’ basketball team. One of those girls possessed of that virtue called simplicity, she is a very conscientious girl in her school work and in any other work she undertakes.

MEMORIES Eighteen Operetta .3 Band ; T. K. B. Club 4 Cantata 4 Intramural Basketball 2-3-4 Operetta 3-4 Cantata 4 Band 3 Prince Gallitzin Pageant 2 Senior Class Play 4 ROBERT BRADLEY “Bud St. Patrick Here is one of the most popular boys of the Class of '42. His endless supply of jokes makes him welcome in any crowd. Bud has a wide range of knowledge and if you ask him about swing music he can tell you the facts with amazing accuracy. His favorite sayings “Him Did?” and “Definitely!” pop at the most appropriate times. The Golden Rule is his motto and we are sure he lives up to it. THOMAS BREMER “Duma” St. Michael Tom’s personality is one that attracts friends, many of them. He is always ready with some form of amusement. He is prob- ably the most noted authority the school has on swing and jazz, but he has a keen appre- ciation of the c'assical also. His record col- lection is second to none. Next in Tom’s likes is roller-skating. “Duma” falls very easily into verse. He might well be ranked as poet laureate of the senior boys—no. not girls. ANN BRLANSKY ‘ Dimples” SS. Peter and Paul With a cheerful word for everybody. Ann has unconsciously woven a web of gratitude around her classmates. As a mathematician she was the secret joy of her teacher. No one surpassed her in the vigor with which she tackled problems, nor in the stubborn perse- verance with which she gained their solution. This peppy lass is one of our best dancers. Her personality and her ability to make friends and keep them will keep her moving along the road to future happiness. BERNARD BROSIG “Moon” St. Joseph Although a great sport lover he never takes part in any sport except for a little baseball. He finds a lot of fun in following up the Major Leagues Baseball and College Football scores. •Moon” is in an ecstasy when driving his Olds- mobile. He is a quiet tut sometimes alarming boy and is a very hard worker. His hobby is saving stamps and postcards, not to men- tion the pieges that fall from his “Merry Olds- mobile”.
