In Mac we find one of the prize possess- ions of the Class of '43. She is the personih- cation of kindly frankncss. A frown on hor face is evidence of a not-proving bookkeep- ing problem. Her gentle manner and spark- ling personality is an asset to any crowd. Her promptness is amaz'ng. She is either twenty minutes early in keeping an appointment or twenty minutes late. Betty's unusual number of acquaintances lets us know she is a regular girl about town. Thus do we wish smooth sailing to our future 'tEm'ly Post! DONALD MCMULLEN Moon St. Benedict Character must be kept bright as well as clean. Moon is a loyal Gsistowner and is never unable to defend the good name of this com- munity. He can be best described by such adjectives as punctual, atfentive, neat, and willing. He doesn't say much, but what he does say is sharp, sensible and true to the point. Like all boys, he likes sports, especi- ally, basketball and baseball. He was a val- uable player in the intramural league. In baseball he was associated with the ill-fated Geistown Orioles. Intramural . . . 1-2-3-4 Cantata .... . . 2 Holy Name . . A1 C. S. M. C.. .. 2 Vice President of Class St. Columba An Irish lass, with charming grace, A staunch upholder of her race. Mick is conscientious, loyal, active, and a leader fn all school activities. A gentle, urg- ing plea from Mick , and the project goes over wtih a bang . As bookkeper for the cafeteria, she has done a highly successful job, and work sheets and balance sheets are everyday pals as far as she is concernend. A class discussion wouldn't be if it weren't for her, as she is always ready to make sugges- tions as well as supply an equal amount of contradictions. She is not 'always serious, however, and fun and joking are all parts of her enviable character. Her favorite pastimes are eating, dancing and swimming. MILDRED MCMULLEN Dollie Visitation A blithesome heart makes a blooming Visage. Here we Hnd a typical Irish maid with loads of jolly humor. Dollie 's the fortunate owner of a fine vo'ce. Most of her time at school is spent over a math problem. One hobby she has selected is that of collecting phonograph records. She is always able to offer an honest and frank opinion on any matter up for dis- cuss'on. Johnny-on-the-spot best describes this clasmate. She would do anything rather than offend another's feelings.

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.

MEMORIES ELIZABETH MOCK Betty St. John Gnalln-rt Set about whatever thou intendest to do, the beginning is half the battle. Betty is a calm, quiet sort of person, whose tranquility 's seldom disturbed, for shi: takes things as they come. In a personality like this we find the rock foundation for higher things. Betty's business tiaining will some- day make her a dependable secretary for some fortunate bus nessnmn. Her pleasant, sinilv, light brown, curly hair, and pleasant blue eyes, will keep her in the hearts of all her friends forever. GERALD MOCK Jerry St. John Gualbert Big oaks from little acorns grow. Jerry is a quiet type of fellow, whose quietness has no disadvantages, for, although small in stature, h's mental capacity has no limits. His favorite hobby and his favorite pastime is football. Famous for his knowl- edge of football and its stars, Jerry tel's the boys what's what. His respect for all who have anything to do with sports gives him the ambition to become a great football specialist. His favorites are Knute Rockne, Bill Stern, and Tommy Harmon.

A quotation such as lh's may be dedicated to Mell. Her wavy, blond hair, cheerful blue eyes, and happy smile seem to be a part of our class. She is neat, capable and depend- able. A willingness to bc of service, a desire to please, and an ability to l.IlldCl'Sl.2llld are among Mell's qualities. Here is a person- al ty well-worth having and an acquaintance well-worth making.

Jimmie made h's entrance into Catholic High in his junior year, and since then has won for himself a host of friends, boys, as well as girls. Although J'minio owns a beautiful Plymouth, he cannot be as generous with it as he would like because of the gas and rubber shortage. Jimmie is a real patriot and soon will be found in the ranks of our armed forces. We the Class of '43 wish him success and happness in all his undertakings.
