:llllfll i - Z Tl-l oN AN -re rr. WALTER EDMUND CAMPBELL Walt is an outstanding example of a student. During his stay here Walt plied his books with determination, and this combined with natural ability enabled him to secure a large number of gold and silver L's. The greatest tribute, however, that we may pay him is to say that he is a perfect gentleman. We know that this will likewise be said of him dur' ing his whole life. 7 . X THOMAS JOHN CASEY ' When you hear a well modulated voice discozfsing on current topics you are listening to a future U. S. AttorneyfGeneral. If you investigate you will discover that you are listening to Tom Casey, the star of La Salle's debating team. Among his many accomplishments, his column, I Ref member When, stands out as the shining light of his illustrious career. Tom has not revealed his plans for the future, but has hinted that the Harvard Law School will be his next stop. JOHN GREGORY CHARNLEY Four years a o Johnff ade his debut at La Salle. His joviality soon won him many fr nds. A incerefifnieyerything he und?akes, he buckled down to his u 'es anadgsgi ievei th fdisgingtienof bei gfanj honor student fre' quent wk cell ' 'afkam ics, debating and the Glee Club. He is a staunch supporter of 'La Salle and may be often seen admonishing unruly freshmen. p LAWRENCE ADRIAN CLANCEY To East Providence we owe thanks for Engineer Pete. Engineer Pete is the proud pilot of a rattling red roadster. Pete claims that after managing the Catholic junior High School League he could manage anyf thing. His good nature earned him the vice presidency of the 4-B class. Peter claims the success of the football team is due to his cheer leading. He is the approved photographer of many of the football action pictures in the 1933 Year Book. DAVID JOHN COFFEY Here he is, boys, Dave, the genial young man from Eox Point. Alf though Dave has no propensity for athletics, his ability as a sports writer and student has been readily manifested. His support in interclass competition has consistently made us victors. As yet, we are unaware of Dave's future plans, but whatever may be his endeavor, we are sure of his success. We wish him the best of luck. Thirtyffour

MXIIIIW , I - Tl-IE MAROON AND WHITE fl-GD JOHN PATRICK BRENNAN John Brennan is a sight soothing for sore eyes. His utter lack of interest in the members of the opposite sex is shown by his devotion to his books and his astounding results. A trip to Europe in his freshman year gave him a cosmopolitan viewpoint and synthetic ideas. His literary achieve' ments are sufficient to keep John's name in the minds of all, and it is with a feeling of sadness that we bid him Adieu. f ROBERT BATCHELDOR BRECKEL : l s Everybody knows aiflzgtuckg is-fnoied for its Blue Grass, fast horses and beautifulfw, , , u hat is not all, for Bob hails from that state. The best lfv-fd'ence indicates that e came to La Salle with a purpose and directed his energies to its-AC lishment. Finding his natural bent to lie in the direction of trafk, he took up running. A clean success is his most likely future. JOHN FRANCIS BROWN Were a movement started at La Salle to abolish homework, we would bet that A1 would be loudest in applause. For, you see, A1 has always eyed books with suspicion. Notwithstanding this view he manages to slide through his courses with grades suilicient to pass. His school spirit, his companionship and his love for fun nominate him for a position in our Best Fellows Club. The green of Manhattan College will be the colors for Al in the next four years. JOHN VINCENT BURNS Joining us in our third year Vinnie soon gained our esteem. He proved his worth as a scholar by winning several silver L's and as a gentleman by his amiable disposition. He seems to be the outstanding ivory tickler among the seniors. He is also one of the social masters of the day and no gathering of La Salle men would seem complete without his presence. He is holding his college campus in abeyance. THOMAS JOSEPH BURKE Folks, we take pleasure in introducing Our Representative from Elm' wood. Tom has ever won our admiration and respect because of his ardent enthusiasm. Possessed of a desire to become a candidate for an athletic team, he found circumstances thwarted him. However, he showed his mettle by always evincing a most unselfish and wholehearted interest in anything that was La Salle. His mental capacity is attested to by an imposing array of rewards for fine scholastic work. Thirtyfthree

A diligent student and gentleman, Tom has found opportunity to manage our football team through two successful seasons. He is a permanent fixture on the roll of honor. Always willing and eager to aid a less fortunate comrade, Tom's popularity has increased by leaps and bounds. Our thoughts will always be with Tom. THOMAS FRANCIS CONNAUGHTON Tom is one of the poetic morsels that we find among the literary dishes at La Salle. Possessed of a flare for poetry, his compositions have ref peatedly assaulted the Maroon and White oflice. He is a youth inclined to question the world and its problems, and his controversial displays with Father Farrell will long be remembered. His scholastic standing merited a well earned graduation. Success, Tom. LEO JEROME CONNOR Four years a Leo - rolled as a II 9 t La Salle. His pleasing nature soo Iade I po ul with his c '. es.

'As a scholar, he was always a leader. Leo intends to A t r h ucation at Boston College. JOHN FRANCIS COONEY, JR. Cver the hills from St. Teresa's Little John Cooney came. He is high . spirited and happy go lucky with a voice that bellows a welcome and that has no equal. John has become through ardent eiforts the leading typist of our class as well as one of our honor students. Work after school squelched his dreams of an athletic career. If he maintains his interest in books, Big John Cooney has a bright future in the business world. TIMOTHY RAYMOND CRAWLEY Tim presented himself, and withfhis presentation we knew we had a pal. We found in him that thin ,which touches the heart, Music! Timothy gave the class leaders quize a run for scholastic honors during his four years. Althou h not athletically inclined, he supported all our teams. Tim will furfh' his education at P. C. and we are sure he will succeed. - ,il 1 f ' , Thivtyffive
