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

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 QQQQQQQR -1 SEQEHEQEW FRANCIS HANSSEL RED Frank is one of our contributions to football. Ile represents the spirit of all St. Joe's letter-men: pep, grit and loyalty. Although Red is not what one would call a mental or intellectual genius still he does his best. The day is never dull when he is around for he keeps the air well permeated with wisecracks. As a politician Frank's a. wow. He showed this in the last elections, when he and Cudney directed the Radicalist Platform. VVe wish you a great deal of success, Frank! MARTIN HICKEY DOO The boy with the smile, that's our Mart The only time he forgets to smile is when he has for- gotten to do his homework. lt has always been a source of pleasure to nickname him Doo Hickey, but he says he doesn't like it. He likes to spend his time in the library where with McDonough he annoys the librarian. But Martin is a likable lad and an active member of the class. He takes an interest in school activities and has gained, for him- self many friends at St. J0e's. Here's to success in all your endeavors Martin. PETER KEISCHTGENS UPETE' VVhat shall we say of Pete? It you're looking for a friend, look for crimpy-haired Pete. He's willing and ready to accept your friendship. I-le never says much, but he's a real popular member of the class, nevertheless. He works hard at all times and gets what he's working for. As a bell 'ringer Peteis one whom no one can surpass. Promptness, tl'1at's his password. Ot' course we're glad that he has been with us for four years, and we Wish that those four years with him might have been a little longer. The Class of '27 wishes him 'the greatest of sccess. VVILLTAM J. LEE BILL During the four years that Bill has been with us, he has always shown himself to be heant and soul for the class. He is always ready to help a good cause. This spirit has won him many friends. Bill is a wizard at all branches of mathematics, in fact, he likes Trigonometry, so well that he has taken it a second time.
