C2155 of I9 ' WILLIAM PATRICK WELSH St. Thomas Apostle Parish Cathedral Ceremonies, Schola, Glee Club One thing Will does not shirk from ls hard work . . . Proof of his industry in his studies is the sheaf of honor slips he has collected through the years, Willie's practice with the basketball has improved his game so much that by Fifth Year he was one of the most accurate and aggressive players in the Minors. l-le capped his successful season by capping the Minor League individual scoring championship cela suffit, LOUIS JOSEPH ZAKRZEWICZ Immaculate Conception Parish Basketball, Baseball, Glee Club, Schola Proud possessar of the hardest name ta pro- nounce, let alone spell iLou was seldom called upon by his last name' . , His deep lHOssO voice boorned and resounded in both Schola and Glee Club, while his big, broad body proved a massive target behind the plate on both the softball and hardball teams . . , Always willing to put himself out for another, Lou chauffered the stu- dent aggregation from the southwest side to all picnics and mission parties . , . Besides gradu- ating frorr' Quigley this year, Lou has also graduated into the big car bracket -from a '-I' Pontiac to no less than o '53 Packard ALBEN THADDEUS ZUKOWSKI Angel Guardian Orphanage Chant, Glee Club, Catechist. A devotee of the fine arts--Al, He loves nothing better than classical music and a good book. Whether tattooing falls under the fine arts may be questioned by Zuk's victims, whose tattooed backs show the merciless art of tattoo- ing fingers. Pounding out change in the cafe- teria has probably developed the tenacious steel of this tentacled tattoo artist. An ever-ready smile has made Al one of the firsts in the hearts of his classmates Mater sacerdotum, adiuva nos uf perseveremus.
