The White and Blue of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Four Andrew Victor Stefan “ANDY” “ABBOT” “INFALLIBLE” “Who is this towering giant, my lord.” “Ask Andy, he knows.” Dramatics 3. Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Stage Manager 1, 2, 3. Assistant Manager Basketball 2. Vice-President of Class 3, 4. IERE in books vou might have read of the man whose pleasure lay in doing good for others. Have you ever met Twenty-Four” can point out for you at least one of that type, quintessence of disinterestedness — our own “Andy” the “In- ’ The other fellow’s satisfaction is his greatest pleasure. Your good is his concern. He will be wrong to let you he right ; his time is yours for the asking. “Andy” is generous almost to a fault. With a wealth of knowledge on the most unusual subjects, “Abbot” was the man whose word could never he questioned. Towering over all by a six and a half foot frame, his presence was enough to settle any dispute. “Andy” was never satisfied even with these Herculean proportions, but day by day in every way kept growing taller and taller. “Andy” is in earnest when he says that he intends to get up in the world. Consistent in class, it was in the practical things of life that “Infallible” established himself as “the man of all trades and master of each.” As stage manager, he will be remembered for having presented the most highly artistic Junior Night that Setonia ever witnessed. True manly modesty has always prevented “Andy” from seeking credit for his efforts, but some day the same fame that he has so long repulsed is going to overtake him with a vengeance. Twenty-Four hopes to be able to gather about him on that day, trusting that justice will not demand compound interest on the debts of kindness that we owe him. Our loss, “Andy,” but the world’s gain as necessity separates you from us. Your memory we can never lose, however, and there is the further consolation that the world has need of your kind and will be bettered by your presence. OMEWT greatest him? “ ' the very fallible? 21

The White and Blue of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Four John William Rongetti “GIOVANNI” “RONJET” His face is truly of the Roman mould.” “ Never would he be false to truth or you.” “On every side he open zvas as day.” Class Baseball 3, 4. Manager Class Baseball 4. Glee Club 3, 4. ON JET, our collegiate globe-trotter, rearrived at Seton Hall in our Juni or year. Having traversed corridors at Fordham, Georgetown, and St. Anselm’s, he returned whither he had left his heart. Another Caesar, he came, he saw, and he conquered. Ambition characterizes his every move. Already he controls a half interest in a Metropolitan pharmacy. (As yet, however, we have not caught any prohibited prescriptions). His ample vocabulary and dexterous delineation of the interesting elements of a story prove John an entertainer of “purest ray serene.” W here he is, we are well content to sit, to listen and to learn. We do not fear that we shall forget John. We do not want him to forget us. He has made himself too great a factor in our lives. W’herever he be, let him feel that there also is our regard and our greatest admiration for one who “shall not go unlaureled to the grave.” 20

The White and Blue of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Four John Philip Sullivan “DOC” “SULLY” “RED” “A face ivith a smile and a story of wit, Made the long hour short.” “What gifts God gave you! Think of it.” Vice-President of A. A. 2. Varsity Shop Committee 2. 4. Manager Baseball 4. Cheer Leader 3, 4. Football 2, 3. Captain Football 4 . Junior Night Speaker 3. OC early won for himself an affectionate place in our regard, and time has but served to make it more secure. His nature and power to jest at all times endeared him to us and made him many friends in the College. He is gifted with a lively conversational style, a remark- able sense of humor, reinforced by a happy fund of anecdotes and “wise cracks” which made “Red” welcome everywhere. It’s no use, you can’t resist him; for, the moment he breaks loose, you have to laugh. “Red’s” vocal talents not only aided the Glee Club, but also aided us in our smokers and banquets. Because of the fact that he led the dual life of day-scholar and boarder, he is considered one of the most popular members of our class. Always congenial, yet serious in matters of class and college, he has been one of our most active members. When “Sully,” as cheer leader, pranced out before the crowd, immediately there was noise. It might appear that the combustion was spontaneous, but the volume and pep were all due to “Doc’s” hard work at mass meetings. As cheer leader he is the most deserving and yet he seldom gets a cheer. But “Red,” there’s always a cheer made of ’24’s best esteem for you : A “Ray ! Ray ! Rav!” for “Doc” Sullivan, ’24, and make it the best ever. “Hip! Hip!” 22
