Football Reserves 2, 3, 4. Dramatics 2, 3, 4. Class Track 3, 4. Glee Club 2, 3. ESPITE the handicap of a year at St. Anselm’s, Frank was not very long in imbibing the irresitable spirit of 24; in fact, this husky young gentleman from Newark did not pause at mere imbibition, but added a little exuberance of his own. His singular ability to caress the most vulnerable portions of his friend’s anatomies with those playful “love-taps,” soon justified the fraternal appellation of “K. O. Frank.” Besides being master of the Marquis of Oueensburv rules, Frank found ample time between rounds to master his studies and promote social activities at Setonia. It matters little what profession Frank may choose, as he always accomplishes that which he undertakes and can be depended upon to further the glory and honor of the Class of ’24. We have heard him orate with a gusto and an appeal that always attains his objective. We have seen him, battered and weakened, bravely struggle towards football supremacy, of school and of class. Having given his best for Alma Mater and ‘24, Frank— athlete, scholar, gentleman and friend- passes triumphant through the arch of memory. 16

HEERFUL “jimmy,” from the peaceful, little town of Forty Fort, made famous by the Wyoming massacre, resembles greatiy the town from which he comes — he is so different. To hear “Jim” talk you would think that he was one of the original settlers of the town on the banks of the Susquehanna. His popularity is amply attested to by his host of friends. Everyone with whom “Jimmy” has associated in his wanderings through the regions of “Pennsy” and Jersey, has been attracted by his affable disposition, his readiness to perform favors, despite inconvenience, and his effervescent spirit of fun. “Jim” has made light many a long hour of idleness with stories and anecdotes from his voluminous coffers of wit. Friend “Jim” is not only a good student, a fine athlete, a true comrade and an adept in an assortment of indoor sports, but he is a past master in the art of “strumming the uke” and “tooting the horn.” Needless to say, he is at his best when he reaches high C flat. The “C” is not so good, but the “flat” is perfect. Besides his enviable record in the classroom, “Jim” is the proud possessor of an athletic muniment. On the basketball court, he has displayed wonderful adroitness. Many were the game in which “Jimmie’s” accurate shooting was a decisive factor in gaining victory. His lightning-like speed and accuracy will never he forgotten within Setonia’s threshold, and “Shamus” always will be regarded as one of Captain Fries’ “speed artists,” who has contributed to the lustrous fame and glory of Old Setonia. With the noble qualities and exemplary characteristics that “Shamus” possesses, we have not the slightest doubt that success will he waiting for him in all his endeavors and undertakings. Wherever you go, “Jim.” just remember that the Class of ’24 is ever solicitous of your welfare and success, and no news will be more welcome than when we hear of “Jimmie as — “His Honor — Judge Holleran.” 15

EL was offered to us by the illustrious town of Kearny and in the taking we received a jewel of rare value. His ever present smile and effervescent mirth added in no small measure to making our davs at “Old Setonia” both pleasant and happy. “Jim’s” keen sense of humor and remarkable capacity for work were but a few of the many gifts of this versatile gentleman. A thoiough student, he never failed to find time to take active part in anything that pertained to the glory of Seton Hall. Whether on football field or in the classroom, “Senator” put every ounce of energy into his work, and what greater piaise can we gire to a man than to say: “He did all things well. His argumentative qualities and firm convictions furnished many a lively discussion, especially when the subject was the town of Kearny.
