THE EAGLE Fifteen SE IOR CLASS MAURICE P. MORIARTY Hail! President of our class, captain of our football and baseball teams, fine student and loyal friend! You will have no difficulty in discovering whom we salute thus, for you all know Maurice Moriarty. You never hear him,- hut you hear of him. He is very quiet, but actions speak louder than words. Morey hopes to follow in his brother's footsteps when he enters Niagara University. We are sure success will be the reward of your perseverance and deter- mination. -00- O0 CATHERINE P. STACK Kate joined us when we were sophomores. We im- mediately succumbed to the charms of this happy-go-lucky schoolmate, who became the most popular girl in our class. Kate's sense of humor and eagerness to join in all fun often made school life a little gayer. During this last year we noticed Kate's weak point-she fears all front desks! May your cheery nature help you at all times, but especially when you are a teacher, Catherine. -ur -v no FLORENCE A. NVHELAN Here is a girl who is quiet, studious and agreeable at all times. Flossie seldom speaks, but when she does we all set back and listen. Ever since our freshman days we have recognized Flossie as the Latin shark. Is Florence diligent? This answers the question. VVben she learned she had so few subjects to study in her senior year, she decided to take music lessons! May you be as successful in teaching as you were in learning, Florence. -Cl- li ROSE B. YOUNG Rosie, this curly-haired, blue-eyed girl from St. Pat- rick's, is a favorite among us. Her unselfish nature and charming personality aid her in attracting many friends. Judging Rosie by appearances, you would think she was one of our most quiet girls, but our teacher knows she is a wondreful conversationalist. VVe have no objections to your talking, Rosie, if it enables you to be so successful in obtaining ads. Success will surely be yours, Rose, if you keep on wishing!

Fouiteen THE EAGLE SE IOR CLASS MAE B. KOCH Mazie certainly lives up to her title, The Flapperf' She is happiest when there is mischief afoot, but a choice few know that she can be really serious, especially when she is called upon during the French period. Being light- hearted hasn't hindered Mazie. for every one considers her a wonderful chum. VVe wonder where this little Happer gets the dramatic ability which we expect to carry her to the silver screen. May Life present its finest gifts to you who has ever wished for success and happiness. - -I ul LAVVRENCE E. LONG Our advertising manager-and another member of our crowd. Larry has graced S. J. C. A. with his pres- ence since he was knee high and now 1928 finds him stand- ing high in scholastic attainmentv. He is an ardent worker and his ambitions are bound to bring him success.

Larry, the Class of '28 extends its most sincere wish for success. MARGARET C. SHACGHXESSY Marg is known as the most dignified senior in the class of '28. She is so gentle and kind that every one wishes to become her friend. Marg studied diligently all during her high school years, but in fourth year she re- ceived her reward, Then she had four study periods. Even this spare time was spent in the search for more knowledge. VVe hope, Marg, that you will be successful in your under- takings. -1 -1 as AGNES V.

Sixteen THE EAGLE CLASS PROPHECY 'Twas but a dream. A most realistic one, to be sure: but still a dream. I was seated in a private dining room of the Palace Club, New York City, talking over old times with my life-long friend and present part- ner, Ray Bills. It had been a hard day at the office, for the electrical business was at its flood. Ive were brain-weary and needed something to stimulate our minds. Suddenly the door opened, admitting a masked man,-one of the club's entertainers. He announced that he was a magician and a elairvoyant and asked what would please our fancy. Ray, thinking he would ask him to do something almost impossible, said, '4Tell us what our classmates of 1928 are doing now. The performer uttered some mystic words, then began in a low monotone: lXIaurice Mori- arty, your good friend, was only yesterday honored as the greatest surgeon now living. He has contributed much to the health of the world. Margaret Hennessy, a nurse, is a co- worker with him in the battle against disease. Bernardine Blaney has become a famous dancer on the Chicago stage. She will soon Colne to New York with her companion and press agent, Catherine Stack. Miss Stack is a most cap- able manager. Mae Koch is at present writing editorials for a huge news syndicate of which Florence VVhelan is the head. These two brilliant writers are campaigning for the promotion of world peace. Francis Culkin and Rose Young have climbed the social ladder and are the leaders of the fashionable set. Agnes Sheedy and Katherine Fehr chose teaching as their field of endeavor and are now well-known edu- cators. The arts called lllargaret Shaugh- nessy and she is now in Europe, completing some royal portraits. Geraldine Brien and Mildred Clisson are upholding the athletic prowess of the United States Bliss Brien is Olympic swimming champion and Miss Clisson is Olympic diving champion? The magician then paused. For a moment there was a silence, but Finally Ray cried, HAH are accounted for except Lawrence Long. How is he? The masked man laughed softly and said, May I introduce myself? I am Profes- sor X, the greatest exponent of humbug, magic and mind-reading since the days of Houdini. I am Lawrence Long, at your service 5 He removed the mask, revealing the face of our old chum. Truly, this glimpse of the future shows the possibility of each one gaining happiness in a different occupation. But whatever our work, let us strive on 'fFor God and Countryf' HERBIAN ITLOTZ, Class Prophet.
