QXXHIIIIIW . ax I X - THE MAROON AND VVHITE ld? JoHN WILLIAM OQCONNOR It's unusual to find a number of pleasing traits in one person. He is a good talker, he is an advocate of wielding the sunshine brush rather than spreading palls of gloom, and he is possessed of an unusually keen mind. It is not our custom to predict glamorous achievements, but we secretly nourish just such thoughts of John. f- I J. Louis CTHA ' , ' In the clas is no bett r's dent, to his classmates there can be o tter frilend, and in there can be found no better t ese are the impre ' t Louie has left after his four years t a Salle. Alwa s tleman, as Louie departs another true La alle man leaves the ortals of our beloved Academy. JAMES AMBROSE O,HARA Here is Jim, one of Wickford's representatives at our wellfknown Acad' emy. Having played three years of Varsity competition at North Kingston, he was forced to limit his athletic ability to class basketball, in which he gave many excellent performances as a member of the 4fB team. He also showed his scholastic ability by winning his share of silver 'LL's. He is an amiable sort of fellow and one most likely to sucf ceed in life. JosEPH JoHN PETORELLA Joe is our Beau Brummel from Wanskuck. He is a quiet and unassuming youth. Not athletically inclined, he is an ardent follower of our teams. He does not allow his studies to worry him, but nevertheless he has always managed to gain honors as is attested by the number of Silver L's to his credit. We know little of his ambitions relative to further scholastic attainments, but wherever he goes, the best wishes of the class go with him. I PASQUALE JosEPH PESARE The tender strains of. quale's lin have enchanted us frequently. With his omman oice he s h d yast audiences spellfbound as he execute is gage president t e Debating Society. His excellent acting h s iw e an erlast' ' pression on all. With these fine qualif ties alon ith a tle a y demeanor and an everfready wit we can prophesy nothing b ss uccess for him while at Providence College. l i . F ifty

Xlllllflll y 1 X THE MAROON AND WHITE yum BENEDICT AUGUSTINE NOLAN Ben hails from North Attleborog a good place to come from. He has a ready smile and nice ways. He dresses snappily and how he parts his hair! Favorite colors: red Qtiesj, green Cinkj, and blonde Cgirlsj. But let's take Ben seriously. Ben is a good student and has garnered ten silver L'L's. He was a strong supporter of all activities. His plans are practically complete for a fourfyear sojourn at N. Y. U. WHITNEY EDWARD NOLAN ' , t ore cannot be allowed Dramatics, minstrels a or i' splays have crowded his scholastic career. To his class as a ways been congenial, open and kind. Whitney never aspired to startle the world with a spurt for learning, but he has reached his goal leisurely and with the best of them. Success. The wide ra Ctivities cry Out aloud for more Space than thi r it . ' ' JOSEPH PATRICK GSBRIEN Joe O'Brien came t tus thr ypars ago from across the Seekonk. He is tall and statdly an .' wa a cheerfu 'le for everybody. joe is Q1 good cholarz V a bee a JE? track squad for the past wo rs y his ers' o t and hard practice has become a JU-Y e sprinter a javelin thrower. His college selection has t been made as yet DANIEL FRANCIS OlNEIL We bow to Olneyville, and thank her for contributing Danny. His ardent support of the athletic teams has made him a wellfknown and popular Hgure at all games. For a time, Danny was obsessed with a desire for crooning, but a certain episode that occurred in Boston some time ago on the part of the Harvard students turned him aside from that particular channel. He expects to enter business in the Fall. JAMES FRANCIS QQCONNOR A wee glance and your weak eyes fall upon the jovial face ofthe embryonic Dr, Johnsonwg the boy who cannot define a pen point without making it appear like a rivet. Endowed with a keen mind, he works assiduously and at the same time finds moments for sallies into the world of nebulous wit. Few there are with his kind, genial and always cheerful disposition. Next fall he will aspire to collegiate honors. Fortyfnine ,J
