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

GEORGE THOMAS SCOWCROFT X:llUllll T 2 THE MAROON AND VVHITE K CID JOHN COSGROVE REVENS The acme of dependability, the criterion of poise and unction, the peak of general excellence-all are recognized in the person of John. Personality and scholarly attainments are combined to the nth def gree in him, and a list of the activities he has actively supported would read like a roll call. With his eyes for color, his nose for news, and his taste for triplefdip coffee cabinets, John should and will come out on top.

Unfortunately, Scoy's athletic career was nipped in the bud due to an injury. As a scholar he attained the maximum results with a minimum of effort. Among his acf complishments none shone out so clearly as his gentlemanly conduct to teacher and friend alike. Best wishes follow him to his destinaf tion which seems to be centered on P. C. VINCENT JAMES ROWAN Into the diminutive physique of Vinnie a benign Creator packed a veritable load of versatility and personality. Perfect coordination of mind and muscle made him a boon to the dramatic society. Activities have been energized by his personality. In a short time he has gleaned much in mundane wisdom, and his loyalty, sincerity and kindness have enabled him to dispense sage advice to others. To satisfy, he had to be good and he was! F ifty-:wo
