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 ,QQQQQEQ 1 5 1 D . -1 , ' F 'f I EWEQEQEQ K ERIN P. LYONS HROARINGH Here we present the able manager of St. .Ioseph's most successful football team. Roaring is the nickname often applied to him, and it seems to characterize the youth to perfection. When louder noises are made, Lyons will make them, would be a fitting motto. But Kerin's marks show that he does not devote all his time to creating disturbances. ln parting let us say good luck! CHARLES J. McDONOl'GH RED Red seems to have several other nicknames, but this one has stuck. Although diminutive in size, he has shone brightly in his studies and has carved a name for himself on the class basketball team. llc is a loyal friend of the school, and is quite popular.

MAHNER NEIL Although Neil has never led the class on the Honor Roll, he has been a valuable member of our class, He has shown himself capable of indulginf: in all our doings, is always ready to help, and is what is generally termed a good mixer.
