willllllfw - Z T H o N'-L A r E Y GD WILLIAM FRANCIS TAYLOR, JR. I ffl , .41 . I, T' c 'jf WW, ef fi, Allow me to introduce Our Bill, the most cheerful and am' bitious fellow at La Salle. His scholastic capacity makes up for his inability to take part in athletics. Has been a member of the Silver Letter Club for four years, to say nothing of his membership to the Gold Letter Club. His popularity may be evinced by the fact that he has been made President of his class, twice. 1 I ' ,.,, . I Q' K fr f BENJAMIN JOSEPH TEDESCHI TJ' f ' Benny is another one of the happ goflu , studentfathletes of La Salle. Although talented in ev y s rt, the court seems to draw his attention. Ben's ability as an a hlete has Dot made his marks suffer, for seldom an honor roll is published which is not graced by his name. Benny intends to further his education at Providence College, where we are sure his industry will crown any' thing he undertakes with success. l JOHN DAVID TURBRIDY John is that sterling guard on La Salle's championship eleven. He has made a name for himself that will never be eclipsed. john is one of the active members from 4eD, who is constantly engaged in La Salle activities.

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.

Blessed with a penchant for the hu' morous in life, he is masterly in combining business with pleasure. Scholastically, we can class him among the leaders. During his leisure moments, he donned the football raiment and tried to die for Alma Mater. We look forward to the reunion that will bring this jovial youth back to us again. JOSEPH EDWARD MCCOY A learned man once said that conduct is the test for an educated man. While we muse on the capabilities of Joe, we become more and more convinced that the aphorism fits him perfectly.
