Determination and muscular build are two at Al's Outstanding characteristics. Because of his set spirit as well as his accurate exe he is a constant threat in any major league tussle on the basketball court. After 3:l5 out at Lake Shore Al would use his bruising build in the football season to give the passer a quick rush and in the baseball season ta give the pitcher a real reason to worry it his turn at the bet was Coming uD. JOHN ROBERT NOAK St. Albert the Great Parish Beadle, Waiter, Chant, Le Petit Meet Dan'l Boone, Quigley's pioneer.

0 if' 1953 JAMES JOHN O'BRlEN St. Lucy's Parish Baseball, Tennis, Glee Club, Candle, Catechist, Pilgrim in St Anne andthe Gouty Rectcrf Head Librarian, Schola, Monogram Club. NNell groomed, neat appearance, courteous. Add these up and you have Jim O'Brien. Re- r ferred to by some of the profs as a chip off the old block, he is one of fifth year's real gentle- men. Don't let his reserved appearance fool you, however, because Jim is a real live-wire when he has a tennis racquet in hand or when seated in front of the eighty-eight. His willingness to help others, shown best by his many activities, was o boon to all this year, since Jim was Head- librarian. ROGER TIMOTHY O'BRIEN St. Odilo, Berwyn Schola, Sacristan, Librarian, President of Propa- gation of the Faith, Business Manager of the yearbook, Candle, Intramural Basketball. Meet the Promoter. lf you want to build a church, finance a magazine, or underwrite the foreign missions, call an Rag. His flair for whip- ping up schemes, stunts, and projects and his ability to draw treasures from dry sources won him the office of President of the Missions and Business Manager of Le Petit. ls also labeled scourge of seniors and mercenary leech. This talent for filling the class coffers, plus his popularity, made him a class officer---Treasurer. EDWARD GERALD O'CONNOR St. Matthew Parish Catechist, Schola, Baseball, Librarian, Life Guard, Rose in Kind Lady. Quiet, reserved, never cracks a smilef Uke would fit almost any description other than this one . . . lt doesn't take much to get Ed laughing but its a Herculean task to stop him. Ed, another true son of Erin, used a wee bit of the old brogueu and a whole stageful of acting ability in handling the part of Rose in Kind Lady as well as any real veteran could. RICHARD CONWAY O'CONNOR St. Felicitas Parish Glee Club, Chant, Candle, Typist for New World Campaign, Prompter for Quartet in Q Minor, Henry in Kind Lady. An air of distinction, a natty appearance, and a constantly calm disposition mark R. C, off for iust what he is---the gentleman of the gradu- ating class. After hearing o filibuster on one of his shorter vacations, it's agreed that he is also the most traveled member of the class of '53 All who saw Kind Lady will remember Conway as Henry the dapper swindling vil- lain, a part which R. C. played so convincingly that underclassmen have been watching him with c wary exe ever since opening night
