IGNATIUS PREP Du.ffe'y, John. 'l'here is no doubt that John is one of the mysteries of the '24 cllass and we have a sus- picion that he knows of and enjoys the privilege. Of course he is quiet, but then, still waters run deep and they get there. John has been a Iirst honor nian since he started at Ignatius and has not slaeked the pace these last few iuonths either, which is more than mont of us can say. And here 's hoping he keeps up the good work in later life. Duffy, David. R. O. T. C,, '18 and '19, Secretary Li- brary Association, '20, Glee Club, '22, '23, Cast of It Pays to Advertise. Despite his long list of activities, Dave 's chief call to fame is his two ycar's record as a cheer-leader. He was no ordinary soldier. He enjoyed the distinction of being a sergeant, then a lieutenant, and only recently war: called upon to lead a company of students who greeted Cardinal liundelein. Duffy, Leonard. Track, '2fL. Duif's ability to enter- tain a crowd by means of his facility at tickling the ivories gives him a. prominent place on our list ot' iuerry-niakers. Leonard was always the central Iigure of the belated smoking rooni crowd. He has garnered first honors without a break for four years. Duffy, Marvin. This big lad caine from Springhill College, Alabama. He made long acquaintances on short notice. It seems he would Ht in well anywhere except il sniall sized telephone booth. He acquired much skill in football down where it never snows, but could not display his ability because of short resi- dence at St. Ignatius. Dlmford, John M. Jack is a dyed in the Wool radio fan. In fact anything in science interests hini. VVhy shou1dn't it? He was one of the 'few who had the foresight to get a chemistry credit. VVell, those hand- some curly-headed blonde boys always did take everything by storm anyway, so what 's the use? 210

IGNATIUS PREP Cullen, Mathew. Matty, besides being the strong man of the class, holds the distinction of never being defeated in an open debate. He has a well modu- lated voice and against his gently persistent ciforts, all opposition quails. He has been there with the stuE in all school activities. Is adept on tables with smooth green tops, as has been reluctantly ad- mitted by fellow classmates. Donohue, Daniel. Dan has certainly amassed for him- self during his stay at Ignatius a host of honors garnered from nearly every branch of the school's activities. Part of his fame due to his ability on the stage, since he has taken part in every play put out by Ignatius in the last four years: Lct's Go, The Dictator, The Royal Yellow, 'tIt Pays to Advertise, and The Last Trick. His other ac- complishments include a managership of the '2-1 bas- ketball team. He played as regular center on the '23 football team and, although in his first year at foot- ball, handled himself like a veteran. Monogram Clubg Glee Club, '21, '22. Ignatius is going to miss him next year on the stage and in athletic fields. Dore, Emmet. Emmet has not done much in an ath- letic way, but has won many friends by a willing helping spirit in all school activities. He is one of the many students who are not prominent in athletic branches but who are necessary for the success of every school and class. A good scholar and a square student, he has won for himself the respect of the entire class. Downey, John Paul. Orchestra. Having turned in four years of honest endeavor, Paul certainly merits the coveted sheepskin. Proclaimed Captain of the Orchestra by his class, he strove to be worthy of the title by rendering soul stirring drum solos at public exercises. Ducey, Vincent. Vinnie's stay at St. Ignatius has been short but this did not prevent him from making the tennis team, and many friends. He came to this smoky town from Detroit, the home of the flivvcr, to pursue his studies at St. Ignatius, and we all know that he has succeeded very well. It has been ru' mored about that Vinnie intends to enter the movies. 209

IGNATIUS PREP Dwyer, John. Johnny is the kind of a fellow that you would like to introduce to your sister but not to your best girl. Knows more about a Lizzie than Henry Ford. He always has a pleasant smile ready wherever you meet him. Johnny enjoys the study of Physics. He had the good fortune of taking Chem- istry last year. Eck, George. Football, '22 and '23, George spent his first two years at St. Cyril's High. He doesn't say so, but he is an all round fellow. Athletic and industrious-what more do you Want. He comes from Brookfield, the home of the well-known breakfast sausage, but when kidded about the town, George defends its fair name in an admirable manner. Elwood, Thomas. There is no denying that had Tommy been a little heavier the school athletics would have profited inhnitely more. Tom played on the bantam basketball team of '23, the light football teams of '22, '23, and the baseball team of '24, He has been one of the most popular of the graduating class and he will no doubt be equally successful in college and after. English, Michael. Valedictorian. One of the best of the class's leaders and athletes, a convincing talker and debater. Bantam basketball champs, '22, bantams, '23, lights, '24, debating team, '23, '24, business man- ager of the Prep, It Pays to Advertise and 'fThc Last Trick. Mike has shown a willing and :self- sacrificing spirit in his support of school interests and activities, and has done much towards making them successful. Ertz, Harry. Loyola Literary Society, '24, R. O. T. C. Harry's chief claim to fame is his eloquent voice, which can be heard at any hour during the day ex- cept at recess. He is quite adept at annoying teach- ers and has been the cause of many sleepless nights. He is a very likeable fellow, and We know that his cheerful smile and Winning personality will be misscil next year. Speaks German fluently, and performed creditably in the Loyola Literary Society. 211
