gvllllllfw S I- Q T.. o,.1'A..ZT E Y GD ROBERT CONDON DUNN Bob is one of those souls who incessantly craves action. Into all manner of activity as t own himself in an effort to realize the aspirations of his genial, ,ge d restless being. Once his grades were assured, he looked'to.,ef e things, ' trels, debates, Glee Club, football and dramatics. He h t a-ll and leaves us with the Hnest impression of a youth who ciable and gentlemanly. THOMAS PATRICK EGAN Tom boasts of a little of this and a little of thatg to wit, athletic ability, a ine sense of humor, an aptitude for studies, and a certain blandness of appearance that many characterize as handsome poise. Tom was never successful in his efforts to make a varsity team, but he was a member of every class team that represented his room. Tom is the possessor of the typical La Salle spirit. Manhattan College may well be proud when he matriculates in September. JAMES WILLIAM FEELEY For the past four years, James has journeyed to La Salle from North Provif dence. He is a pleasant young gentleman and always has a smile for everyone. Any teacher may be sure of an answer from him and, if he is not correct Che usually isj, he is sure to be humorous. His indoor sport is upholding arguments brought up in the Latin Class by the politicianfs son from Woonsocket. James is the owner of jet black curly hair that is envied by every senior. FRANCIS JOSEPH FEENEY Frank is one of Mount Pleasant's numerous representatives at La Salle. He attributes his popularity to his having one of the best Latin horses in the school. We have all learned to appreciate his dry humor, which is set off by a background of natural quietness. Francis has been a supporter of all athletic teams, and has taken part in our interclass sports. Withal he has found time to absorb the required subjects, and some collegiate portal is waiting for him. ELMER RICHARD FERGUSON If we were asked to describe Elmer, ur description would be an indirect one. First, we would think of th eather and mention the month of March. Secondly, w oul ' Elm r's name and point him out as being directly the o p r h. where March winds bluster, Elmer is quietg where arcli nothing, Elmer means somef thing. In short, he has endear d ' e f to his classmates because he is genuine. Could there be a greater compliment? Thirtyeight

muff!! I - THE MAROON AND WHITE KGB AUGUSTINE JOSEPH GAUDET Gus is one of those regular fellows who has been responsible for the sucf cess of La Salle in the past four years. His business ability and neverf sayfdiev spirit have won him a host of friends. Aviation is the great hobby of Gus. He is also a basketball player of note, and has led his class team to many a victory. Gus will continue his good work at M. I. T. Continue on Gus, with the best wishes of the Class of '33, osEPH EDWARD GEOGHEGAN ' This is the chap who has a nice distinction for the values of little things in life. Modest and retiring, he gives due consideration to the rights of others. At the same time, his generous nature prompts him to forget himself when the weal of the school or the class is being considered. There is nothing brilliant about joe. A steady grind has earned him graduation and it will be this characteristic that will make him a success in life. Hello eryb o, it is not L'Kate Smith but La Salle's own Arnold. Arno as ired to intellectual attainments, and through conscientious and iligent effort he has at last realized his supreme ambition. is herculean figure won him prominence as a shot putter. Although ARNOLD FRAN G TI no the rilliant species Arnold's consistent plugging has enabled him WILFRED JOSEPH GLADU Some men talk much and say little. Some men say little but think much. Of the two, the latter is more important and more applicable to our quiet and unassuming Wilfred. A true friend and a perfect gentleman are two conspicuous traits of this youth's personality. Time and again his name has been an ornament to the Silver Letter list. Providence College has attracted him, and to that institution will he go in September. ROBERT WINFIELD GOFF Voici! Cast thine eyes and peer into the honest eyes of Bob. The Gold Letter he sports is not the pogee of his ambition. He has competed in many extrafcurricular ctiv 'es d has attained success in all the fields of endeavor. Track, b t ll, and baseball head the list of these ac' tivities. A toast to Bob r al conscientious schoolmate! Farewell and best wishes from the lass o ,2,3. F ony ll a good average in all his studies. Our best wishes follow him.
