3 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY A slant eyed seer I chanced to meet, While strolling down a darkened street. Achmed Abdullah was his name, He was a prophet of much fame.- And this is what he said, alas, Of what was soon to come to pass: T0M SLOYAN: With wavy hair and eyes of blue. Claims he's an expert pitching woo. But here is what I have to say, No doubt he'll end up pitching hay. BILL KEARNEY: He's six foot-four of brain and brawn, How LEO will mourn when he has gone. From work he'll never be a shirker, He'll live and die a soda-jerker. ED HAYES! Through Tilden's line our Ed did slash, And over their goal line he did crash. In spite of this and his left hand passes, He'll be writing Muscles for the Masses. BILL KAMMERT: With that avoirdupois we know, His many talents soon he'll show. Talents that never could be rasher, Undoubtedly he will be an atom smasher. Boa MULTHAUF! Bob is a boy with slicked-down hair, He's very chic and debonaire. Here is the best thing he can do, Invent Multhauf's Axle Grease Shampoo. FRANK LAURO: On the football field he always did race, Into the melee with a scowl on his face. Ho Hirohito say a prayer, 'Cause we're sending Frankie over there. JOHN GERRITY! John we always did ridicule, 'Cause he never could define 'moleculef But he will all of us fool, When he runs his own high school. JIM SHI-ZRIDAN: Fame will never go to Jimmie's head, His autobiography will be widely read, He'll become Barrymore's protege, And win stardom on the great white way. TOM HURST: On the gridiron Brutus never did falter, He was in truth, The Rock of Gibraltar. But if his nick-name is any factor, He'll end up a Shakespearean actor. JIM O'HALLoaAN: Pretty girls wrote to the paper for him, He was our boy Curly Haired Jim. And now in order to rhyme this poem, We see him high point man at the Old Folks' Home. Boa KI:I:vERs: Bob was a lad of giant intellect, And on him it had a strange effect. For he has fallen into Life's deep rut. Having just invented a holeless doughnut. Boa QUINN! Now to most of us it should seem, That Bob will captain another team And Indeed at Vassar hell do us one better, fl. . . .5 I . , ' W As captain of Rope-Skipping he'll get his letter. 5 fill. . ' lm?-ff? OIL BABEi' BARANOWSKI: Little Henry of Athletic fame' C J!! P lf rl' L L--f-H... J. -.li ' '1 L.-: -1- Has ever won the crowd's acclaim. But reality surpasses our fondest dream, He'll be the whole U. S. Olympic team. JOHN TRILLA: Returning a kick-off, Swivel-hips through opponents would totter, And when he got through they mopped up with a blotter But he'll really shine at bowling some say, When in the ABC he beats Ned Day. LEO COLANCE: Here's a pile' with great ambition, But to him I give word of admonition. I think it's really far too soon, For a rocket ship to reach the moon. LOUIS SAYRE: A fidgety fellow was Louie Sayre, Always getting in someone's hair. But at work because of his perpetual motion, He soon gained every promotion. JOHN MANGAN: That connoisseur of the hot beef sandwich, In future life will find a grand niche. Official beef-tester he will be Working for Swift and Company. BILL Lovell FLYNN: Bill with his shy grin per- petual, And bashful manner with girls so effectual. Glamorous Hollywood will be his goal A matinee idol will be his role. CHUCK MEHMEL: EHervescent grin and chunky shoulders, Beneath that fine head some' brain smoulders. Of football he plays the best brand, He'll soon be blocking for Hillenbrand. HAROLD ELLIS! Studious with some intellect, On him Solid had no adverse effect. Even Einstein will be about undone When Harold spouts a fifth dimension. DICK HDAN,L BOONEH FURRY: In school Dick was forever musing, That he'd like to succeed Ted Husing. But I glance into my crystal'ball and here are the facts, He'll still be out at Palos fighting off Indian at- tacks. JACK 'ALONG Jol-IN GLYNN: Here's a boy who's really tall, He's always squawking that the desks are too small. He thinks he'll be a businessman and that's a laugh, He'll be a zoo-keeper and feed the giraffes. Boa GRAFF: An Honor Roll student, in class he gets sleepy, But a business tycoon will pretty Bob be. So happy concocting the brew without peer, 6'Graf'I's Gruesome Lager, your favorite beer. Jor BONFITTO! Although he's as frisky as a one year old pup, We've abandoned all hope that he'll ever grow up. Now I'll disclose his one secret wish To live at the Aquarium and take care of the fish. ALBERT MAJETICH: With serious manner and marks so high, Marks o'er which many a student would sigh, What life could be more enjoyable for Al, Than sailing toy boats on the Drainage Canal? HACHMED ABDULLAHH KEARNEY: Here is the fel- low you gents would like to lynch, But remember, composing this poem was no cinch. He'll write of ladies beautiful and heroes dashin', And publish books like, Pawns of Passion. So harken unto my sad fate, And for the above bear me no hate. One thing I'll say while on the mn, FORGET IT FELLOWS. IT WAS ALL IN FUN. Page Twenty-four

F.. CLASS TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class gof 1942, do dispose and distribute the sundry miscellanies that we have collected while engaged in devious pursuit of knowledge in,the sacrosanct halls of LEO. This is presented in the hope that it will enlighten those green Frosh who were deprived of the benefits of our earlier char- acter builders. We trust that with diligent application of these gems of experience you, the under class men of today, will worthily let fall upon your shoulders the ermine robe of the Senior, his purple vestments, and permission to leave the library ahead of time. A word to the wise is sufficient. Experience is the best teacher. So when your illustrious predecessors are picking their painful way through Japanese barbed wire, dodging Stukas, and finally, when we are drinking Bock beer at a sidewalk cafe in the shade of Under Der Linden, it is our hope that you will profit by our experi- ences and avoid the pitfalls of omission that abound in the life of a student. Our most treasured possession we pass reluctantly down to you. Never abuse it, always be worthy of it and use it properly. Five Guaranteed Fool Proof EXCuses! I forgot itg I left it at home, It's in my lock- erg What home work?g The dog ate it. But in a more serious vein we bequeath you a heritage of Catholic education and Catholic ideals. When we first entered Leo we were green kids with immature bodies and minds. Now, in the short space of four years, a subtle but apparent change has taken place, not only in our bodies but in our minds as well. We are men, physically and mentally. Manhood and the growing pains preceding it is a delicate transition. It is a time when our character and our philosophy of life is formed. As the twig is bent so the tree is inclined. We were fortunate to be under the guidance men as are here at Leo. They set ample and if we have succeeded in ing them a little bit, they can rest as to our future. of such the ex- emulat- assured To our teachers then, Cod bless 'em. By the sweat of their brows and their power of persuasion they made men out of us. A barrel of orchids to these self sacrificing men and to the Order which produced them. Reverend Brothers, we thank you. To Br. Burke the memory of his most successful LION. And to our new but capable principal, the Reverend Brother McCarthy, we leave the memory of his first Senior class at Leo and with it a perfect record in both acad- emics and athletics. Therefore on this third day of June, 194-2 we the Senior class of Leo High School do affix our signature to this document. Class of '42, WHAT MADE HIM FAMOUS -TED JANIK-Knows every freshman at Mercy.
