Hank, a veritable beauty, Hitting to and from classes, reminds one of a chap iuunortal- ized in a, drama written by a famous man called Shakespeare, quite a time ago. I guess the name of the show was Romeo and Juliet. Sitting at his desk, constantly perusing his Greek volumes and pondering over the un- surpassed philosophy of Xenophon, he un- doubtedly imagines himself to be a Grecian god in a modern setting. EDMUND E. LONERGAN ......... Classical Holy Name Society, BlessedVirgin Sodality, Debating Society, Glee Club, Class Play '25, Senior Club. NVhose little body lodged a mighty mind. Homer. Ed, one olf our smallest, but by no means the least olf our graduating class, made his much desired presence distinctly felt by his constant cheerful spirit. Ever active and in with the gang, we shall be sorry to have to part with him. During his three years at Pio Nono Ed has always maintained a high scholastic average. .llCROlllI'l C. lJliliASAYlTZ ........

A man l know who lived upon a smile. and well it fed himg he looked plump and fair. Yes, t'Jerry is the convivial bumpkin ot' the class. Nothing worried him and his con- genial nature made for him many friends. Thou hadst small Latin and less Greek, your l'1 0l1d4lliD gained, no other need I seek. Eternally true to all his friends. His advice was always beneficial. His optimistic views were a boon to the class.

19 THE PIO ITE TAILS UP. It had been a bleak and dreary day and the wi11d had swept over the bluits with a wild gusto. Finnegan was watering l11s horse. Finnegan was superb in every de- tail. His regalia iitted hi111 to a T. He was good to look upo11. He was of the he man type, a11d the gray and gold broeaded coat was snug o11 his broad shoulders. His bronze features showed him to be a man ot the open, and he was Slllgllllll' in that his carriage and stride were unique. Finnegan edged his way over to a breach in the rock where he would station himself so as to get a good View olf the road. There was a confidence in his expressio11-selt-confidenee3 his calm, trustwortliy eyes with little i11de11ta- tions at each corner hinting at an other- wise unapparent sense ot humor and his graeetul posture all would have identified llllll as being' one ot' that note-worthy figliting' patrol, the Pennsylvaiiia State Mounted Police. lle had waited for per- haps te11 minutes before another horse- nian eantercd into sight down the road a bit. Finiieuiin rode up to 111eet him and immediately the 0fll0l',S hand went to his holster. and his pony onto its haunehes. l1ord! he said, after he had recognized the gray nnil'orm. You sure surprised me, Captain. Finnegan just laughed- You ean expert us at any time now in almost any eorner ol' the state, and pray tell me your businefs. Sure, l'm hunting panthers. You won 't find their watering holes here. No mine's differentg he drinks 'any- ' lv I Q . I thing with 10 per eent in it. Great snakes, he must be a fire-eater too. No ie, he kee is buriiinff the trails tho' P3 7 he 's on horseback. Iaillllligtlll eyed hi1n intelligently, taking into eonsideration every slightest detail about the otherts person. He was a slouehy, swagferiiig farmer and his ae- tions. speech and manners proved him to be sueh. His eyes were keen and hu- morous and eaeh emitted a twinkle that is rare in this type ot' man. He paeked two automatics, one on each side, a car- tridge belt, and a knife. It was the way that he sat i11 the saddle that made him look reckless. Remunerated by the horse- man's appearance and answers, Finnegan trotted up next to the other's Sorrel. So you're after the Panther, eh? Sure Mike! I'm Bill VVatson, sheriif of L011dOll cou11ty over Potsville way. I'm after the Panther. He made a haul over at the Potsville Farmer 's State Bank yes- terday. Hooked a couple thousand in bonds and about 883,000 ill other negotia- ble securities. iVell, 1,111 here for the same, re- turned Finnegan, Major Brent told me to hook him dead or alive. We heard he was in this neck of the woods. So he got a bit of jack, eh? Yaa, pulled the gat 011 us cool as ice. I happened to be ill tl1e bank attaching an account. Ile jumped us around with the muzzle of a .32 yawning in our face, grabbed the swag, locked us in the vault and tl1C1l hiked off. Nobody with him. Good joke the way he marched eleven of us fools around i11 'front of his guni Can 't look my old nag in the face yet. Finneg'an's eyes glinted. WY 4 Y! , ' ' . at 7 aa, said W atson. Don t know the guy with his mask 011 but I kll0XV plenty about him. That's good, assented Finnigan. HI donlt kll0W much about him, but I'm in- terested. ' ' XVa'al, here's how 'tis-don't know his right name so we'll call him 'Olier'- he's a Frenelimaii l believe. Fifteen years ago he married a mighty sweet girl-as so111e say-and they were happy on his nice little farm up i11 Manitoba. They done pretty well for a couple of years until along come an Easterner, who got pretty well caught up with this Panthe1 S wife. So tinally one day 'Olier' comes home from branding to find that his jane had gone and hiked away with this East- erner. VVa'al, sir, '0lier' tracked them up and down the map till he eornered 'em. For a long time nobody heard ot' the Pan- ther and it seemed he had dropped off the world. YVa'al. he sure didn 't: no sir, 9 .
