MEMCRIES CATHERINE MARCINKO Cathy St. Stephen The fair, the chaste, and unexpressive she. This blonde classmate has the distinction of being a permanent Honor Roll member. Her kind and helpful manner, and her ever gentle voice have made many of us play favorites. Among Calthy's outside activities, we find that skating rolls along at the top of the list. with dancing, following a few fancy steps bc- hind. The point of the pen ,ls one of Cathy's strong points, and we are sure she could champion any cause with it. Her poems, short stories and essays brought much de- light to her student audience. Aiming high, this Miss has set her amb tion on becoming a nurse and thus aiding human- ity. STEPHEN MARSHALL Steve Class President Our Mother of Sorrows He is a gentle, true, and perfect knight. Stephen ,a citizen of Southmont, is known to his friends as Steve Although not a brilliant scholar in languages, he is a mathe- matical wizard. Steve s patient and pos- sesses a splendid sense of humor. His favor among his classmates won for him the dis- tinctive office of class president. W'e are glad that his artist c talent was discovered in time to find a place in 1943 Memories Steve is usually seen hitching a ride to Southmont and his now see here! can often times be heard from the least expected places. Steve , we are sure, will persevere in any undertaking in life. Librarian ...... 2-3-4 T. K. B. C1ub-- 4 S. C. A.... 4 C. C.

She is a fun-loving, jovial sort of person who is always welcome in any crowd. She's the bashful type until you get to know her. Her charming manner and lov- able personality have won her many friends. Some scientist should patent her laughfhe would reap a fortune. No need to ask Tinca to be candid, for she 's just that and tells one just what she thinks in a few words. A friend---the link in life's chain that bears the greatest strain. Our tall, brunette Janet is one of the busiest girls in the Senior Class. Most of the time she was to be found in the typing room, typing some manuscript or a mission report in her capacity as Mission Secretary. Energetic and active, Janet is usually 'in the center of a crowd of joking students. Weasie is a true friend and a good sport. Dancing is one of her favorite pastimes. Twenty-seven

MEMORIES JOHN KRISTOFKO John St. Patrick t'Still water runs deep. One takes a liking to John the first time one meets him. We never hear much about what he is doing, but we know he is a real sport and always ready to do someone a good turn. He has excellent school spirit and takes part in many actvities of the school. His am- bition is to become a Flying Cadet. To sum up all of this, we can truthfully say that John is a millionaire of excellent character. Intramural . . . . .1-2 LEONARD KUBINSKY KilleI ' St. Stephen It is more blessed to give than to receive. In his four years with us Leonard has al- ways been a friend to all of us. One of his outstandng traits is to help others. Interest in mathematics has made him one of the class leaders in this subject. He also proved himself to be an admirer of Virgil by this ex- cellent translation of his works. Leonard is usually seen dr.ving his blue Chevvie back an gl forth to school. To this amazing character we wish all the luck that is necessary for suc- cess in the world. Holy Name .. 4 C. s.M.c.... ...1-4 . ggi-C-'-- 1231 S. C.

Cutie has a grand personality with a ready smile for each and everyone. She likes to have fun and enjoy herself as we have no- tced throughout her four years at Catholic High. She has always offered her candid opinion, especially when she was asked a question and has very generously offered sug- gestions. If she made a mistake, she took the correction with a smile and a resolution to do better. We will always remember Jean as a good sport and studentfa loyal friend of Catholic High. Our Lady of Mercy '4She must be seen to be appreciated. Petite but powerful perhaps best describes Irene. Her winning smile and red hair, set off by her Irish eyes, are welcomed in any crowd. A talkative little minx who finds laughter in almost any thing, but when the time to be serious approaches, Irene excels in seriousness, too. We will always remember Irene for her ability to make any class in which she was present alive and excited. Twenty-sin'

C. .... 2-4 MARY JO MERX Merxie ANNA MINDALA Honey St. Joseph St. lViary's Greek Catholic A good heart's worth gold. A great piano player in every sense of the word. Merxie has long been noted for her versions of popular pieces. God was liberal in bestowing his gifts on her, for, besides be- ing talented musically, she has always ranked high in her studies and in the opinion of her friends. Her excellent handwriting, which suggests that she and Mr. Palmer are good friends, enables her to present one of the neatest bookkeeping assignments of the class. We expect her to go far in the commercial world. MARY McCABE Boots Prefect of the Sodality. St. John Gualbert Impossible is un-American. Small in sature only, Boots has for four years proved to be a joy to her clasmates. She is always very generous with her time and ability and is very often called upon to do many different tasks. After much competition, Mary was chosen by her classmates to be the Prefect of the Sodality. She has tried her hand at many things and has brought success to all. She loves danc- ing and proves a star in penmanship. Perhaps she may be called a Jack of all Trades. Prince Gallitzin Pageant ........ 1 Mission Representative .... 1 Her modest looks the cottage might adorn, Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn.' Anna came to us from Garfield High in her junior year. Her talent has been revealed to us through the vivid posters bearing her name that we have seen posted about the halls. The radio presents itself as one of her favorite pastimes but she is also fond of ten- nis and bowling. Honey is the possessor of an outstanding attendance record, broken only once all through her twelve years. And during all th's long period, she did not fail once in punctuality. A rare accomplishment! A girl who is well groomed in appearance and gracious in manner. Blessings on thee, clever maid. JOANN McCANN Jo Visitation Perseverance overcomes everything. Joann, better known as Joe among her friends, and consequently, almost universally known by that name, is a rare combination of genius and class favorite. Although she has made the honor roll throughout her four years, she has retained that sweet simplicity which endears her to us all. As Irish as her name, Joann's favorite color is green. She enjoys skating and basketball and joins whole-heartedly in all social under- takings. We'll always remember Jo as a classmate and friend.
