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

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 Hannon, Edward. Ed has a pretty pair of gold medals hung up at home, also a bunch of little gold ribbons. He exhibits these on every occasion possible. Although Virgil has lost all terrors to Ed, he is still popular with his less fortunate and envious class- mates. A year of lightweight football in '22 was enough for Ed in an athletic way. He was on the Senior Prom committee. Hatton, George. George has acquired quite a reputa- tion this last year as an able performer on the cornetg but why shouldn't he be, playing with the orchestra for three years, '22, '23, '24. He has become popular with the teachers through an earnestness in study this year that we ean't remember in the past. How- ever, we are glad to say that this fact did not lessen the popularity that was his for four years among his fellow students. He. was also a member of a certain crowd that went on the Senior picnic. Henry, James. R. O. T. C., Football, Lights, '23, '2l. NVhen the junior football team was organized, Jim proved himself to be a flashy lightweight. He has a good sense of humor and is a good friend to all. The only thing We have against Jim is his tendency to rate the South Side above the West Side. Jim is one of the many seniors who wishes he studied Chem- istry. I-Iiler, John P. John is one of the famous two, but there are at least four in fourth year who claim they could pick him from a crowd and say, Sure, this is John. He played on the basketball team this year and was one of the reasons for the team finishing up near the top. He has always been a supporter of the class room athletics, and has played on every class team in all the sports. I-Iiler, William IP. Bill is known as the other one to most students at St. Ignatius and is identified by the laugh which he made famous. Recently bitten by the golf bug, he makes use of Jackson Park nightly, and the next day insists that you listen to the running story, play for play. There 's one in every class. Outside of that, he 's a likable fellow who made the Prep this year, and who played on the '23 football team. He also was a member of the light basketball team of '24. 9 .4
