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!

Syl? X - X Tl-l oN AN -re lah FRANCIS MAURICE SPILLANE Naturally assured and aggressive, L'Spunky earned his title soon after entering the Academy. By his talent he engraved his name on the golden scroll of the Honor Society. Aspiring to journalistic fame, he secured the position of EditorfinfChief of the school pubf lication. A scholar, an enthusiastic worker in and for the school, a gentleman in every sense of the word, L'Tinney goes forth to R.I.C.E. GEORGE WILLIAM SHAW George came to us in his third year from Woonsocket High. In that short time, he earned the friendship and respect of the stu' dent body. He is an excellent athlete, but places his books before play, as can be attested by his scholastic record. A most unassumf ing and goodfnatured fellow he will enter college with the best wishes and luck of the Senior Class. THOMAS FRANCIS STRATTON Tom is our representative from the East Side. Two years fago this youth entered our midst, and since then his fine combination of humor and seriousness has won him a place in the hearts of all. Track has claimed his attention and besides this he has been an ardent supporter of the other activities of the school. OMER EDWARD SWEENY Laugh and the world laughs with you, that's the philosophy of Omer Sweeny. Omer is a prominent Hgure in the social register of Esmond. However, his social functions do not interfere with his studies. His name is always on the honor roll. Omer is busif ness manager of our school publication, and he has proved himself to be a clever business man. Omer has not decided where he expects to matriculate next year. Fzftyfthree
