NORMAN BARRON The Baron Baseball 3g Football 3, 45 Sodality 3, 4. JOHN A. BLAKE Ambassador Sodality 3, 4. Page twenty-two JOHN A. BLAKE NORMAN BARRON A MOST quiet and unassuming Baron this Nor- man is. Regular of habit, and calm of disposi- tion, he performs his school duties Without the least bit of fuss. His recitation and test marks are always satisfactory. And Norman is also athletically inclin- ed. He had his fling at baseball and football. Last fall his services were surely appreciated by the foot- ball coach. He did not report for baseball this sea- son in order to give someone else a chance. May we suggest that you turn to page forty-six of this Annual to get an idea of what a little dear Norman was be- fore he got his hair bobbed. The Baron's future- but that's a dark secret. To all inquiries he gives only his friendly smile and Wise shaking of the head. Here's wishing you God speed, Norman. THIS Blake lad is full of mischief. Under a suave exterior he conceals a fun-loving and carefree busybody. pHe is a very pleasant pal and is generally rather good at entertaining. Words, words--yes, John can and does use them. He argued himself into being called the Ambassador . Musically inclined, John made good use of this gift during the football season in leading the School March. And, do you re- member the game at which he formed a one-man band? We must admire the Ambassador for his school spirit and general interest in all our activities. Everr though John is gifted with talent usually asso- ciated with the law profession, he intends to study medicine. We are certain of his success in this field.

MOUNTAINEER t Then, all too soon did we become Seniors. Examinations, vacations were over and once again we were renewing old friendships, after which we proceeded to the polls for the last high school election we would ever hold. There the Senior class bestowed the highest office-that of presi- dent-on our worthy classmate, Tom O'Byrne of IV-A, whose record of the preceding year warranted his reelection. To even things up, John Dooley of IV-B was elected vice president. The other offices went to Buddy May and Robert Wuest of IV-A, and Pat O'Rourke and Warren Goldmann of IV-B. In the field of sports the Seniors, feeling that their course was fast drawing to a close, worked tirelessly. On the football field it was Cap- tain P. O'Rourke, centerg P. Byrne, fullback: W. Christopher, quarter- back, O'Byrne, right end, Graham, right 'halfg Hadlow, left end, McCaf- frey, Hennessey, Johnson, Jordan, Cronin, May and Finnegan-all helped to carry to higher laurels the fair name of the Senior class. F. 'Gibbons was Manager, assisted by J. Drew. Again in basketball, the Seniors held 'sway by the presence of J. Had- low, P. Byrne, T. O'Byrne, J. Noonan, F. Gibbons, J. Dooley, J. Drew and C. Hennebry, Manager. As for track it is expected that the Seniors will have the situation well in hand again as they have had in other sports. It is understood, of course, that athletics was not the only thing in which the names of Seniors held the. limelight. It is significant to note that of the twenty positions on the staff of the Gold and Blue , fifteen were held by Seniors. The responsibility of Editor-in-Chief fell upon John Noonan, who deftly handled the position. As assistant he had the services of Stephen Duggan. Then, too, among the Seniors are N. Sabi, H. Finnegan, A. Rowe, A. Ihle, J. Drew, J. Lyons, J. Noonan and S. Dug- gan whose names generally adorn the Honor Roll. When in March, Reverend Father Corbett, S.J. addressed the Senior class, all listened attentively, for the Reverend Father spoke on the fu- ture of high school graduates, and how we should fit ourselves for the different walks of life which we should soon tread. Now that Commencement is near, we have put aside trepidation and buckled down to make our last few weeks at the Mount something to re- member with joy in the years to come. We should not fail to express our sincere gratitude to the Brothers who have untiringly aided in making our stay at Mount St., Michael pleasant and instructive. Without their invaluable help, we should be ill, prepared to face the problems that will confront us in active life. To them the Senior class of '33 express their heartfelt appreciation. Though sorrowful at the thought of leaving so many true friends, we go forward with confidence, for we know that the education we have received at the Mount will hold us in good stead . So, departing as true Mopntaineers, we ask that you keep us in pleasant memory. Vale! Page twenty-one

BUNGE JOHN P. BYRNE WHEN Fred entered the Mount in '30 coming all the way' from Argentina, he had some difficulty to follow Sophomore work as he did not speak English fluently, but he soon overcame that obstacle and made his way to the head of the class. He won the Scholarship medal in second year. Fritz had started with the class of '34 but he joined us Septem- ber last. In the field of sports he also did well. He took part in track and gymnasium apparatus work. In the first he was outstanding as a sprinter and in the latter he was best on the parallels. Fred likes electrical and radio work and he plans to go back to Argentina this summer, after an absence of three years, where he will pursue a training course in en- gineering with the American Telephone and Tele- graph Company. SINCE Pat entered the Mount, four years ago, he has been the backbone of all the sports participated in by the school. His sterling and brilliant work on the football, baseball, basketball and track teams will be long talked about and admired at the Mount. No one's claim to popularity could be more surely founded than that of Pat. His good nature and friendly spirit have made him a sought-after companion by all who have had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with him. Although much of his time has been taken up with sports, Pat always managed to get along well in his studies. He intends to continue his schooling at Columbia. Knowing something of his grit and de- termination we have no fears for his future success. E Illllllllllllllll llllllllllllll E E FREDERICK A. BUNGE Cl'Fritz77 HFred!!
