Before we part, it is our sincere hope that success will crown your life and that your sojourn at Holy Cross will be a happy one. . GEGRGE JAMES MCCULLOUGH Four years ago George came breezing into the school and everyone sat up and took notice. His happy disposition and wise cracks make him the fairfhaired boy of Four Dee. George never gave created illusions as to his scholarly ambitions but he keeps on going. He is one of the main' stays of the track team, and may be seen often and anywhere in his blue coupe. George intends to matriculate at R. I. State. HENRY FRANCIS MCDONNELL Although diminutive in stature and slight of build, Henry possesses a mind of extraordinary capacity. Never once in four years at the Acad' emy has he failed to attain the coveted Gold Letter, the highest award given to any student. Upon attaining seniority, Henry turned his attention to dramatics and the Glee Club. In view of his past achieve' ments and his unusual ability, his success at Providence College should be outstanding. HUBERT JOSEPH MCGQVERN Blessed with an aptitude for making La Salle's Honor Rolls, Mac belongs to the intelligentia of our school. Mentally he is a wizard, sartorially he is perfect, conversationally he is entertaining. Mac is convinced that his next step in attaining a clutch on a worthfwhile vocation must needs be in the direction of a college. Accordingly he proposes to enter one. JOHN THOMAS MCGOVERN God and nature constructed the physiognomy exhibited in the accompany' ing picture. Mac's affinity for books was not as unfruitful as the honor roll might show, but, dear reader, the honor roll frequently is not the measure of a student's intellectual ability. 'LMac is always cheerful save in his adverse moments when he emphatically gives vent to unbiased opinions concerning some pedagogue. His present cogitations as to the pursuit of his vocation is still unsettled. Fortyffve

I I J Q N wi J :lHlll! i .. Z TH oN AN -re ldv JOHN JOSEPH LEFEBVRE Joe's chief claim to fame while at La Salle lies in his ability to make the teams. Many times have headlines told us of his great play on the gridiron, diamond and basketball court. Friendliness to all and non- chalance to worries, is Joe's code. He is one of the better dancers and singers of the senior class. We need not worry about Joe's success, his forceful way and persistence will help him immensely.

Only those who are intimate with him realize the sterling qualities of his person' ality that appeal to the good and the virile. In a remarkable comeback, he has mastered his texts, marshalled the forces of the football team to the championship and excelled in the two major dramatic offerings of the year. THOMAS PATRICK WALL Tom is six feet three of political fame. With the good sense that makes him one of La Salle's leading scholars, and that energy which made him one of our track mainstays, as high jumper, he clinches his arguments. Tom put his forensic ability to use in the school debating society. His pen was one of the Marooii and White's best weapons. With his def termination, we feel he will be a success in his chosen college, Brown. Fortyffour
