19 4 2 — Twenty-five FRANCES riEENEY Visitation Always happy, she is ready to help those in need. Her smile penetrates into the hearts of her fellow classmates. Her hobbies are collecting pennants and popular records. Al- though music is her “time killer”, classics are definitely out. Seen at most every hockey game, Frances is an ardent sports fan. Her sunny outlook on life assures for her success in her future undertakings. RUPERT HOFFMAN “Doc” St. John It has been our pleasure to have with us a young man who is very serious at all times, but beneath his mask of gravity he has a heart for mirth. His quiet chuckle is evidence of his enjoyment of the humuorous. Rupert is a real gentleman for he is most careful of the feelings of every one. So with malice toward none and justice toward all, he treads the road to success at the expense of no one. T. K. B.

She spends a great deal of time and energy collecting for the Red Cross. Her hobbies are roller skating and bowling, but she enjoys all sports. “Tony aspires to be an instructor in Physical Educa- tion. She has a decided knack for decorating and is noted for her unique parties. MARJORIE HUBER “Margie” St. Patricks Margie’s persistent smile and auburn hair together with her ready wit and studious habits make her a teacher’s secret delight and a staunch friend. A genuine go-getter, she is one of the most active members of the class. Much of her time is devoted to the Missions. In 1941, she represented Catholic High at the C. S. M. C. Convention at Rochester, N. Y. Music is her greatest interest and she is called upon to play the piano for every school pro- gram.

MEMORIES Twenty-four DONALD GRADWOHL “Bonehead” St. Joseph For months Don has been interested in a fine investment, that of building un a worth- while library for himself. Time will not hang heavy on his hands. A real optimist is Don. No matter what trend the conversation may be talking, one hears. “That's a good point”. We find the young man's ability not so much in spectacular deeds as in a quiet persever- ance that plods on to the finish. Don's excel- lence in the art of “making baskets” helped to bring the championship of the Grade School League to St. Joseph’s. ANNA MAE GRIFFITH “Griff St. Joseph “Rubinoff of 98” is Griff. She is very shy and blushes very easily. One of her favorite pastimes is roller skating. She keeps a “Per- sonal diary” and she is most secretive about it. Her hobbies are learning to play popular songs and also collecting pictures of her friends. Typing is her favorite subject. Her ambition is to become an excellent musician and to become a member of a symphony or- chestra.

His fine class spirit and generosity cannot be over- looked. He is a whiz at selling chances. His one ambition is to be a baker, and perhaps this explains his interest in the pastries of the cafeteria trays he so dexterously carries at noon. Dependability is one of the strong traits of Francis’ character. May you reach the highest rung on the ladder of success, Fran! SARA HEAD “Teddy St. Benedict Sara is a very kind-hearted and gay girl. She is always very active and enjoys doing things that haven’t been planned before time. Sara’s chief ambition is to become a nurse. In this I think she will be successful because she has a pleasant disposition, patience, and she is very courteous and has a neat appear- ance. Swimming, skating, and “Ellery Queen” are her ideas of good entertainment.

Club 4 Class Adviser 4 Librarian .. 2-3-4 Operetta 4 Mission Representative 3 Mission Secretary 4 Attendant to May Queen 3 JOHN JENDRICKS “Johnnie” St. C'olumha One of the “good-lookers” of the class. Johnnie is an invincible optimist. No one dares to threaten his carefully combed hair. He is interested in the sport of the season, as well as swing music and aeronautics. His mischievous grin brightens up the world for many, and his friends are numerous. He has a long-lived ambition to see the year 2000. CLARA ANN KATTER “Clara” St. Patrick In spirit, another Florence Nightingale. Her leadership and popularity won for her the honor and responsibility of Vice President in both her jun or and her senior year. Her favorite sports demand much energy, but she has it. They are bowling, swimming, dancing and ice skating. An honor student through- out her school life, she has been quite success- ful in all her undertakings. May her success and cheerfulness remain with her always. ETHEL KARALFA “Eth” St. Joseph Ethel is an invaluable friend and a well- liked classmate. She is characterized by her efficiency in the mission society, serving as secretary of the Missions. Always jolly, her dark wavy hair is a familiar sight in the midst of any laughing group. She is studious and ready to lend a helping hand to all. May all this happy school life be but a grand overture to a successful life for you, “Eth”. LEO KILPATRICK “Kil” St. John Gaulbcrt “Kil” is a typical high school student. Pos- sessing a fine sense of humor and just as much misfortune, he has won a number of friends and has an easy time getting along with the women. His spirit of debate is Webster-like, therefore, many have learned to dodge the issue with him. His day dreams take him high in the air, and if dreams come true he will be piloting a bomber in those airy spheres.
