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

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 Fitzgerald, William. Fitz is another one of those fellows that can be depended upon to witness every Ignatius contest. Although not an active participant, he is one of our most faithful rooters. In class he is dependable, particularly so in Greek. Jim is also a good sodalist. A Fitzpatrick, Frank. Elocution contest '22, '23, '24g Loyola Literary Society. Frank hails from the far west ffrom Austin, we meanj, and is proud of it. He has been known to frequent the great city west of his home, and therein has had many adventures. When at St. Ignatius he occupies himself by debating and arguing with Latin teachers. This latter practice has won him undying fame. As a member of the debating team of '23, '24, he has made himself popular with the students and faculty, who wish him luck in all his coming ventures. - - Fundarek, Stephen. Steve 's principal interest lies in radio, and nothing incenses him more than to show an indiiference towards this fad, tHe surely likes to have radio referred to as a fad.j He has quite a set at home, so he says, that is as near perfect as possible. Outside of this weakness, Steve is rational on most points, and gets along with teachers, students, studies, and athletics, without overtaxing himself too, much. Gomolski, Frank. Caszt of Let's GO and Royal Yellow. For four years the PREP staff has awarded- Frank a position on its All-Ignatius mythical team and this year was All-Senior full-back. He is especi- ally fond of dances and tea-parties and an athletic contest. A general in Let's Go. His future is probably the army. Grady, Joseph. Joe, we must admit, does most of his starring in the Latin class, where his wit and ques- tions attract much attention Csometimes, we must say, to his own chagrinj. But aside from that, Joe has proven to be a scholar of more than periodic inno- cence-and should turn in a high average. He is a fel- low who can be relied upon in an emergency. 212
