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.

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.

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.

She is a go-getter. lf she sets her mnd on something, she goes after it, no matter what obstacle stands in her way. Kap takes great pr de in having and keeping a neat appearance, and her various coiffures are always a source of attraction. Her friendly personality and pleasing smile will long be remembered by all. JOSEPH NOWADING Joe St. Joseph Noble natures are calm and content. Joe is a black-haired, well-groomed, fine young fellow with a good word for all, and naturally with a great number of friends, who value his friendship. Joe proved his worth on the gridiron and also occupied a prominent place in our orchestra circle. We are sorry Joe cannot remain with us until June, but we dare not begrudge hum to the service of the U. S. Operetta . .. . . 2-3 ' Cantata ........ 2-3-4 :::' ' 1.

Modest and studious, Gene is a friendly and well liked lass. One of the most dependable girls of the class, she combines fun with scholarship, adding a cheerful touch to the class with her noon-time antics. Genie's pleasing personality will indeed be an 'asset to her intended career of nursing. An inti- mate assoc'ation with Gene is the best method of discerning the idealism behind those spark- ling eyes and mischievous smileg but any per-- son does not have to look deep into her heart to find friendship. As VIce-President of the Sodality she has been a true daughter of Mary, for which virtuous living she achieved the highest honor within the reach of the Sen- ior girls--that of being elected May Queen. - Knowledge is of infinite value! Oscar is one of our best students, both in scholastics and in athletics. Ranking first in class, he holds a great honor, which every boy envies. His rare ability is not only con- fined to school work, as he spends his spare time modeling many arplanes, which will help us in the future. His speed and accur- acy has given the Junior Commandos one of the leading independent teams in the city. He is a born leader and a brillant mind trainer as Well. Thirty-one
