Twelve THE EAGLE SE IOR CLASS RAYMOND H. BILLS 6-l--lo. What's this-another telephone number? No, that's only Ray's signal for a crash at left tackle, where Miss First Down awaits him. Even if Ray always man- aged to appear on the scene a half hour after the picture began, he lost no time in becoming a dignified senior and a star of St. John's. Some of Ray's brightness may have been due to a certain red tie which he could wear with dis- tinction since it matched so well his happy disposition. When you have scaled the heights of success, Ray, do not forget the class of '28 whose best wishes are yours. r..n-1 00 BERNARDINE E. BLANEY VVe received Bebe into our ranks four years ago. Since then we have been the happy possessorsu of a helper and a friend. Bernardine has always taken a prom- inent part in making all our activities successful. As a well behaved pupil, Bernardine deserves the highest credit. Temptations have hovered very near at times, but Bebe used her will power and concentrated her attention on Jackson, Jeiferson, Hamilton and the like. Now Bernardine is about to pass her first milestone on the road to success. May Good Fortune be your attendant on the road of Life, Bebe. -ot nr to GERALDINE C. BRIEN Jerry is a newcomer to S. J. C. A., but since Septem- ber, when she came here, we've been aware of her sunny presence. Smiles can do wonders and our Jerry is a smile fiend. Here's a secret-Jerry wants to be a prize-fighter! You'll never be a champion, Smiles. because you'll conjugate your favorite French verb while you're fighting. VVe advise you to be content with fighting disease in some hospital. VVe hope that your past, present and future will always be rosy and that you'll show others the humorous side of life. -00 Ol- MILDRED A. CLISSON Although every member of the Class of '28 has a fond affection for dear old St. John's, there is one pupil who leads us all. Millie attended St. John's grammar school as well as its high school. Her ever-ready smile and her cheerful manner have won her many friends who will re- main such forever. It is the sincere wish of your class- mates, Mildred, that you will not forget your old pals when you attain fame in the business world.

THE EAGLE Eleven BL E A D SILVER Blue and Silver have been selected as the school colors of St. Johnls. The Class of ,28, realizing the significance of this choice, is eager to impart to the reader what these colors really mean. Blue signifies sincerity, fidelity, loyalty and Chastity. Silver is symbolic of innocence, humility and worth. Fidelity to the ideals of God a11d country, loyalty to our school, our teachers, our old friends and classmates, purity in our words and actionsg sincerity in our life,s work and in our intercourse with others- these are the qualities set forth by the beautiful color, blue. Our other color, silver is emblem- atic of innocence of dishonest affairs, humility in word and deed and the worth that con- tributes to modern progress. Surely these colors portray the character- istics desired by the members of the Class of 528. They are colors worthy of adorning our Senior Banner. lvho of us can look at that banner, without being proud of its glorious folds?p lvho can gaze upon it without desir- ing higher ideals? YVho, on beholding it, is not moved to greater loyalty to our dear Alma lllater? Our banner is a thing of beauty, in itself as well as in its symbolic meaning. On a back- ground of blue, the silver lettering stands forth prominently. Every thread in this material is stained with significance. Its meaning is sim- ilar to that of our colors, but a little more pro- nounced. The blue field shows the sincerity and honor, to which we have pledged ourselves, virtues which we hope will remain with us after our school life. The silver letters HS. J. C. Af, show the innocence and humility which we have tried to retain during our short years of school life at St. John's. Colors and letters gleaming overhead will make our banner a standard to be cherished and long remembered by each graduate who, after four years of diligent, study, leaves St. Johnls, his school of learning.

THE EAGLE Thirteen SE IOR CLASS FRANCES E. CULKIN VVhen we were just Jolly Juniors the sweetest girll' entered S. J. C. A. Franc', certainly was a wonderful addition to our class. She is quiet, but she can perform wonders, as she did for the Music Committee. We have learned that Franis favorite rnottoes are Better late than nevern and Pretty is as pretty does, and that her hobby is remembering. When we have parted, Frances, just remember the school chums who always wished you the best of luck. -no ll- KATHERINE H. FEHR Our class has bestowed upon Kate the title The Most Talkative Girl. Kate can talk on any subject at any time. She has often proven this ability to us during the tCiCero session. Katherine is also our prima donna. What would St. John's choir ever do without her? Kate is a firm advocate of the saying Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone. May your vocation re- quire all your vocal talent, Katherine, for then you will be sure of success. -ll nv no MARGARET J. HENNESSY Peg is one of the pillars of St. John's School, for she spent most of her school days here. This friendly, care- free girl has acquired many friends by her cheerfulness and good nature. Evidently everything strikes Peg funny, for she is called The Class Gigglerf' There is one period, however, when she is very solemn and has time for nothing but Cicero. Peg, we hope you will always look on the sunny side of life and that nothing more sinister than Latin will threaten you. -ll nu I HERMAN J. KLOTZ Herman was well named the genius of his class. Having completed his course in three and one-half years, he has left a record of which any school may be proud. Who of us has not longed to be able to expound our theories i11 geometry or to conquer Cicero, as Herm did? Herman intends to enter Syracuse University. It is with heartiest congratulations and deepest confidence that we send him on to reach his goal in life.
