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.

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

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.

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.

ANN PALOWITCH Lulu St. Patrick She was all gentleness and tender heart. These words fit Ann almost to perfection. She is quiet, 'though fun-loving.

Her twinkling eyes and ready smile will keep her alive in all our thoughts long after she is gone. RICHARD PLUMMER Dick Visitation By giving a 'square deal we geat a square deal!

A lover of sports, Wese is usually seen at every basketball and football game. Her fa-- vorite pastime is skating, which she does wth much grace. Since her one ambition is to become a nurse, she will give a ready response to her country's need, just as 'two of her sis- ters in the WAACS have already done. From the highlands of Brownstown comes this un- excitable, easy-going pal, who usually man- ages to boast just a little about that metrop- olis. VINCENT PODRASKY Vince St. Patrick He dare do all that becomes a man. During his career at Catholic High his fel- low students have found him a very cheerful and reliable friend.
