THE STAR EQQQQQEM I' 1 1 I 4 -1 EWEQEWEW JOHN J. CANDEE CUBA A huge noise announced the arrival of John at St. Joe's a few years ago. Since then he has done his best to continue the racket, and has succeeded quite well, John is the friend of all. His quick wit, coupled with intrepid daring, has been the source of innumerable humorous pranks, by which he will be long remembered. JOHN CODY JOHN John is the blue-eyed young man with the in- cxhaustible supply of excuses. It takes him to hand out the brand new ones. Our -blushing John is an athlete evinced by the fact that he is a letter- man in both baseball and basketball. Cody does tolerably well at his studies and is a pleasant sort ol' chap. Without his beaming smile, the days would be dull, dreary and drab: that is one reason why we are glad to have John around, He is the care- free man in L'Allegro. He has our hopes for future prosperity and success. FERRIS CUDNEY CWD We take great pleasure in introducing to you the racliczzlist of the class. When it comes to politics it takes Ferris to create a revolution. We never try to argue with Cud 'cause we realize that it's useless. Can you imagine what a French Period would be like if Cudney was not there to send forth a few witticisms? He is well liked by everyone teven those whom he defeated in the last election of officersb. We would advise Ferris to take up law as his profession: however, we wish him suc- cess in whatever he may undertake. CLARENCE FALKNER BABE Although he is not the smallest in the class and even though his mentality is by no means stunted, nevertheless he is called Babe VVe still wonder what he does with all the medals he gets, for it seems that collecting medals each year seems to be his bobby, but then he-'s entitled to them for he works hard. He has represented the school in fields other than athletic. For two years Clarence has been a member of the Star and at present he holds the exalted position of editor-in-chief, We understand that he will continue his studies at czgllege. where we're certain that he'll be a success.

THE STAR QQQQQQEQ Q 5 , Q v p r P , 4 1' I if , EWEWEWEQ JOHN BVRKE JACK Collegiatc'. ' VVe'll say so. Jack is a real spurt in OVQIY sense ol' the word.. He is flood at his studies and athletics, as well as at other acti- vities. He represented 4-A in debating and basket- ball, in which he did well. VVit and ability--that's Jack, He makes things, Ceven History periods? puppy and interesting. John earned his J as uianagzer of the basketball team. His fine personality has gained. him a great number of friends at St. Jttes. The class ol' '27 is behind you, Jack. JOSEPH BVRKE JOE lt seems that Joe leaves the talking to the other fellnw. He reminds us of the thou,1:fhtt'ul :nan in Milton's It Penserosof' .Ioe's a willinu lad who likes to lend a helping hand. 'l'hat's why he is so well liked by everyone. He takes an interest in all school and class activities although he does not partake in athletics. To sum him up we might say. Joe is a real member of the class, in his own quie' way. Vile wish him all sorts ot' luck tgocd luck of coursey in all his future endeavors. LESTER J. BRASS LES Lester has been from the start one ol' the tore- inost scholars ol' '27, quiet. efficient, always t'there, that's Lester. He has done remarkably well in all subjects, but we think he rather leans toward science, It such be the case, then prepare for some wonder- ful advances ot' science sometime in the future. JOSEPH F. CHl l'l'l .l0lC Chute has been with us for Your years. during which time he has distinguished himself as one capable ol' indulging in all the amusements about 1110 S0h00l. and equally crapatble of obtaining con- Siffjflill' high marks in his studies. VVithout doubt his good nature and perservance will gain an abund- ance oi' glory for him in the futuie. Xl l'VlIfl 4 ll

THE STAR QQQQQQQQ , . WWEQEWEE MAURICE B. FVRLONG NINE O'CLOCfK If wishes were horses Maurice would be early for school. However, he has become so adept at mak- ing excuses that he will probably make a living from the royalties on a book he is to publish, con- taining all these excuses. 'WILLIAM E. GARDINER, JR. BILL Bill was with us during his Freshman year, during which brief time we all learned to like the lad. After this short stay in our midst, he be-took himself to Lafayette High, and graced that school with his presence for two years. Last September Bill returned to St. Joe's. He has proven himself a valuable asset to the class, a youth with a keen sense of humor and a winning personality. Good luck, Bill! JOH-N J. GRIFFIN MANILA In Jack we find that happy combination, so rare in these hectic days, of an excellent athlete and a fine scholar. Jack's record is remarkable, He has been awarded nine major letters for partici- pation in athletics, and in scholastic standing he has always been among the leaders. HENRY A. GUARINO HANK Hank is a quiet, unasuming youth, whose good humor and persistent plugging have ingratiated him in the hearts of all. 'This youth, who is among the leaders in school activities, has a weakness for passing standing street-cars in Niagara Falls. Henry says he is going to be a dentist, We know that he will make a howling success at tooth pulling. Nineteen
