She is not however, what the name implies, in fact, she is just the opposite. All her class-mates admire her. She is one of the most reliable girls in the Senior Class. She has high ideals which she hopes to live up to and knowing her as we do. we know she will accomplish the things she has set out to do. As class adviser she was always wise in her counsel. HARRY ENGLEHART “Ding” St. Joseph “Ding” is rareiy seen without his familiar smile. He is always cheerful yet has an air of seriousness and responsibility about him. He is well liked by his many friends and can boast of having no enemies. He has studied air- planes so thoroughly that he can name all planes and give their classifications. His de- pendability has been proved by not missing one single morning of putting the flag atop the school for two consecutive years. BETTY FINNIGAN “Petite” Our Lady of .Mercy “Petite”, one of the smallest girls of the class, hails from Prospect. In her spare time, Betty is an ardent movie fan partial to the army type of film. Dancing also takes up some of Betty’s leisure. Betty is one who takes her work as sodalist seriously—always anxious to further tne progress of any sodality event in the school. Everyone admires a go-getter and Betty is not to be slighted . KENNETH FISHER “Ken” St. Benedict “Ken” is a very quiet, industrious boy who hails from the hills of Geistown. He has taken many cracks about his native sector but he ha. proved that “City Fellers” have no mon- opoly on brains. “Ken” is often seen running errands in this father’s V-8. The “Big Ten” is Ken’s ideal of footoall while the “Johnnies” provide his baseball entertainment. “Ken” plans to run a huge dairy farm in his native Geistown.

19 4 2 — Twenty-one JOHN CONWAY One Wing St. Columba If John continues his interest in electricity as earnestly as he is now doing, who knows what strides he may make in the scientific world. John was much at ease while acting as chairman for the debating club and seemed to take a sp2cial delight in the open forum discussions. He is ever ready to take his part of a joke and is clever enough to turn th? tables on the originator many times. CARMEN CORTES •Carmen” St. Patrick Carmen is a whiz in mathematics and sings like a nightingale. She loves swimming, bowl- ing. tennis, and is a second Eleanor Powell on the dance floor. There is nothing she loves more than an evening of dancing. Carmen has a strong character and her pleasing per- sonality has attracted many friends. She would do anything rather than hurt another’s feelings. Once she makes a friend she always keeps him, regardless.

She is usually found in the midst of merriment, and has brightened many a dreary day by her jokes and lively chatter. She is considered as one of our sweet song birds of 102. “Farmer” has good school spirit and took part in many school activities. Hilda is welcomed into the hearts of all who know her. JOSEPH DROP “Angel Face” St. Francis Joe is the quiet, bashful type but works hard and takes an interest in everything he starts. He has a great number of friends among the boys and as yet few among the girls. All his friends find him an ideal com- panion. Joe can also hold h;s own when it comes to school work. He “Drop’-ed into Catholic High in his junior year and it was a lucky drop for all of us.

Despite his small size Bernie is a playing manager and he supervises his team’s activities on the field as well as off. Determination to overcome obstacles is a strong trait of “Blitz”. MARY KATHRYN GLANCY “Mary” St. Patrick Singer, dancer, pianist and ice skater are just a few of the things that describe Mary. A Catholic High program would not be com- plete without her. and she has shown much generosity of time and talent in participating in all school activities. Mary has many en- viable experiences to her credit, such as meet- ing and speaking with Eleanor Roosevelt, winning Unity Essay Contests in both her senior and junior years and receiving several offers to appear on New York stages. In spite of all her accomplishments she has re- tained her natural, magnetic personality. EILEEN WYAR “Porky” St. Michael Eileen ranks high in her four years work at Catholic High. She is an ardent football fan, but also takes part in sports. “Porky” doesn’t like her nickname, but she takes it good na- turedly. Now and then she dreams about . . . success, someone in the army, or a bus that got stuck on Browntown’s hill. We are en- titled to our dreams. You’re on your own, Eileen, may your dreams come true and bring you great happiness. VIRGINIA GENNETT “Ginny” St. Benedic t “Ginny’s” dark curly hair and eyes will cause her to linger in our minds always. Vir- ginia loves to read, travel, and go to the movies, but most of her spare time is spent in reading a good book. Her favorite orchestra is Xavier Cugat. Fibber McGee and Molly is her idea of the best kind of radio program. Her best-liked subject is bookkeeping and she hopes to master it soon. “Ginny” makes the honor roll regularly.
