MEMORIES JOHN GUSTY Spooks Christ the Savior To love and to be loved is a great thing. Spooks, a tall, well built lad, hails from Cambria City. He arrived alt Catholic High via public school and at once made a name for himself in the field of sports. John is studious lin the classroom: aeronautics holds his keenest interest. The word lazy is not in John's vocabulary, for never is he seen loi-- tering or wasting time. Spooks, like all good sportsmen, is kind and fr endly to all. He helps those in need and never expects any- thing in return. PETER HACKETT Pete Visitation A second Caruso is born. Pete is one of the most talented singers in the school. His tenor vo'ce thrilled many an audience while he was with us. Ready to enjoy a laugh or a joke even at his own ex- pense, he gets along well with all his class- mates. He believes in fair play and may be called a straight shooter. It is this love of justice that took him from our midst to join Uncle Sam's Army. Our prayer goes with you, Pete, Football .......... 3-4 Basketball ........ 3-4 Monogram Club . . .3-4 Intramural Basketball .... 1-2-3-4 Cantata ....... 1-2-3-4 Operetta ...... 2-3 Intramural c. s.

MEMORIES FRANCIS GOLOB Dopey St. Patrick His vivacity has enlivened many a dull moment. Although Dopey has always been and always will be loyal to Catholic High, the Crimson and Gold must be worn ,in spirit only, for, since he left us for Uncle Sam's Navy, he must don the blue! of a sailor. Loyalty to Catholic High was a strong point with Dopey, and he did all he could to maintain its high standards. Mathematics was Dopey's favorfte sub- ject, but he enjoyed immensely developing his power of argumentation. He showed his love for athletics by playing halfback for the Mox- ham Tigers and by holding the position of catcher for the Traction Company Baseball Team. The Navy 's lucky to get you, Dopey. ELISE GRABENSTEIN Gravy St. Joseph A merry heart and true. Here is a girl who knows how to be nice to people at all times. Her attractive person- ality and her laughing eyes draw people to her like a magnet. She is tall, and her nat- ural wavy hair is the envy of many a girl. She enjoys skating' and lkes to dance. Neat- ness and cleanliness are two qualities to which she strictly adheres. Her favorite pastime is writing to her boy- friend in the Army, and she spends most of her even'ngs in reading or going to the movies.

Jerome's bid for fame rests in his ability as an athlete. He has worked hard to increase the athlet'c honor and glory of his Alma Ma.- ter, and we know the lessons of good sports- manship learned in this activity will help him to carry on creditably in larger and more important spheres of life. But try to con- vince Romey against h's will, and he will be of the same opinion still. Twenty-two We need him on our team. Joe ls a typical American youth, healthy and ambitious, and he has the will to over- come obstacles that might hinder his success. A fair student and a good athlete, he has suc- ceeded in winning a vast number of friends. In matters concern'ng our class, Joe has proved very dependable and is consdered the tops among his fellow students. We all like Joe, and we wish to say thanks for his efforts in our behalf, and we wish him the best of luck in the years to come.

Mission Representative 3 ROBERT KARCHER Bob Visitation A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market. Bob may be remembered for hfs active participation in the musical programs of Catholic High. Most of his time is taken up by music which makes him seem to be a mus'cal addict, He does take an active in- terest in intramural sports and is unfailingly present to represent his home room. Bob also has a habit of coining new phrases and words with which he likes to tag his fellow students. Twenty-four with a scholastic standing as high as that attained by Betty June. Like most brilliant students, June is a witty conversationalist. Her lovable, delghtful, and Winsome ways radiate a pleasant personality. Her bewitch- ingly black hair adds to her attractive ap- pearance, especially while performing as one of our smart-stepping majorettes. In spite of the fact that June left us at the end of the first semester io begin her work at college, she will always roman in the foreground of our memories. Christmas Play ,... 4 ROBERT KENNEDY Bob St. John Gaulhert Endeavoring to describe him, we call him great. Although Bob came to Catholic High in September of his senior year, and remained only for the first semester, when he entered college, he had time to make for himself a niche in our gallery of memories. As Mayor of a little town in Normandy in the Christ- mas play, he gave a good portrayal of a self- important personage. Bob was quite a mu- sician, organizing a sw'ng band from mem- bers of the orchestra. We were sorry to sec him go, yet we were sure that he would do just as well in college as he did in high school.
