T ,si lg A Vw HE STAR CHARLES SCHIRMAN CHARLIE Small .but-fUh my! Charlie is a living proof ot the text A Little Child Shall Lead Them. He has distinfzuished himself as an active member of the 'AStar staff, and many learned articles and editorials have appeared above his name in that publication. He takes keen delight in trying to arouse the ire of his genial friend Wallie Miller, but how he suc- ceeds is known to few.

THE STAR EQQQQQQRQ ' ww' wr ver ver , k5E5.-k3 'enly fum' NVILLIAM G. READY DHL Bill, who hails from Kenmore, needs no intro- duction. At the start he showed himself to be an oflicient student, and has kept up the good work ever since. He is an able trackman and baseball man- ager. His popularity may account for his some- times foolish sense of humor and untimely, actions on the campus, Incidentally, Buffalo's pioneer Radio station was named after Bill. CORNELIUS RILEY NEIL Neil is a well-known man-about-town. Care- free and popular, no dance or party is complete without him. But he does not let his numerous social activities interfere with his scholastic work for he has always maintained a high standing. Neil is always ready to give his candid opinion on any matter placed before him, and because of this he has gained a great number of friends. His ability as a leader is readily shown by the fact that he served two terms as president of 44A, Neil aspires to the medical profession and he has our hearty wishes that he attain this great ambition. VVILLIAM ROCHE BUS Bus is fl hard worker and a steady plugger. There are very few at St. Joe's who have not made his acquaintance for when not selling paper and pen- cils to the customers of the stationery room he is busy selling cafeteria tickets to the hungry mob which daily assails his booth. Bus is not content to merely follow the crowd for he has always been active in class and school work. VVhenever a com- mittee is appointed or a job to be done, he is sure to be on hand. His willingness to work and his ability as a go-getter will make him a success in life. JOSEPH SCHIEDER JOE .Xt the beginning of our Senior Year, this quiet, unassuming young man joined our ranks. It took us some time to get fully acquainted with him due to intermittent and prolonged absences occasioned by ill health. However, Joe was not long in finding his way into our hearts. for his genial manners, gentlemanly behavior and willingness to oblige soon appealed to us all. In parting we feel sure that :1 person of Joe's presentability, gentility and 'business ability cannot but make a success of life. You have our best wishes for a place in the sun, Joe.

Twenty six qTHE STAR SENIOR CLASS B Although we've Senior Classes two, Senior A and Senior B, Of the B's alone I'll speak to you, They chiefly interest me. VVe are twenty-two in all: Some are short and some are tall, A few are broad and more are lean, E'en some are dull, but most are keen. Some are full of fun and jest Who to the Brothers seem a pest, While others seem to compensate By never being rude nor late. Babe McDonough heads the list Of those who never get the gist Oi Silence is golden -that adage old But he is young so we'll not scold. Bill Ready follows, of great renown, He, too, surpasses as a clowng Lyons and Maher and Kevie Burke Their share of patter do not shirk. Pussy Griffin is not a cat, But he belongs to the plugging frat, Nor is Cuban Candee a sugar-cane But a jolly lad of likable strain. Ray 0'Connor is a lanky lad, He has a face that is never sad. Maurice Furlong, who is always late, Smiles at worries and laughs at fate
