Columbia Page twenty-four WILLIAM J. CHRISTOPHER MATTHEW F. CHARDE SHORT, fair hair, blue eyes, a smiling countenance -in short, Matt has been with us for his Whole high school course. A practical joker, he has afforded his classmates many happy moments by pointed quips and happy humor. In Freshman and Sophomore years, Matt proudly attended to his duties as assistant manager of the football teams. In third year he be- came affiliated with the O'Conne1l boy, other half of the Mutt and J eff team, and the close friendship has lasted to this day. Though small in size, Matt is big of heart, always ready to give a helping hand to him who needs it. From Mount St. Michael he will go to Manhattan to pursue a business course. We hope the high stool will in time give place to the banker's chair. WCHRISN hails from Lawrence, Mass., the place where football players are made. He became popular with the whole student body shortly after his arrival because of his jovial character and prowess on the gridiron. Whoever got in the way of Chris' straight arm had something to talk about after the game, even if he was a deaf-mute. The way he direct- ed plays from his position at quarter-back earned for him a place on the city All Star team for Private High Schools. Friendly towards all, he soon became ac- quainted with friends of his friends so that he did not long feel the results of migration. 'Tis said he even writes occasionally to some Westchester town. Columbia is the college where Chris will study busi- ness and play football. We expect to hear big things of him in both these activities.

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!!

COYNE JAMES M. CRONIN IIBERNIEH is a quiet chap. His entrance to the Mount two years ago was rather providential. Since then we have had an ardent and enthusiastic support- er of all sports. One need not be an athelete to dis- play school spirit and this Bernie has demonstrated by his whole-hearted support of student activities. History and mathematics appeal mostly to him and although his future is yet undecided, we are sure he will make his mark in whatever occupation he may choose as his lifework. Bernie's high standing in class and natural studious demeanor denote a serious character whose only aim is true success. IN FEBRUARY of 1931, a quiet young man entered the Mount and in a very short space of time was classified as a close friend of all. He it was who gave us a fuller understanding of that old saying, Smile and the world smiles with you. Daily Jim's smile sent the students happily off to their studies. A great lover of the outdoors and interested in mechan- ics, this young fellow combines both avocations on a Saturday by breathing in country air while tinkering with his antediluvian Pontiac. After graduation Jim hopes to become a flying cadet and in due time win those coveted wings of the Army Air Corps. Happy landings, Jim! BERNARD J. COYNE E Bernie 2 sodalrify 3, 4. E E E 2 JAMES M.
