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

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. Charlie can often be heard strumming a ukelele which accompanies his 0tllFl- wise melodious voir-e. Good-bye Charlie, the Class ol' 1927 is proud 01' you. CHARLES H. SCHNITTER ISl'SYBODY In first year Charley was a model student. Now - fno, we will rot say it. Suffice it to say that he has bumped his way along the four rorky years of High School. and is now trying' to graduate. Vl'e don't know whom he takes after, Jack Dempsey, Barney Oldfield. or VVill Rogers-we'll let you judfzn-. JOHN A. SEBERT UHANDSOMTT' John is one of who aim high and years ago he went those quiet, unobtrusive fellows quietly attain their goal. Two to Springfeld, Mass., but after a year there he returned to St. Joe's. We never found out why he came back so quicke-maybe the police could tell us? The members of 4B have learned to dodue John, for he is treasurer. and just hates to See anyone in arrears. s 41'- rlvlvfllfjl fi

THE STAR 1 Of our sheiks you will now be told, Jim Privietera knocks shebas cold, Yet he always has his work, Nor does he ever his duties shirk. Joe Chute is also spick and span Some even claim he's a ladies' man But the language of Milton he can't master His pen goes quick but his thoughts go faster. William Lee has a studious look, Of quiet wit, always with a bookg He is not of the boisterous sort, But takes and gives like a good sport. Hank Guarino, of business mein, Once in a while with a. smile is seen: John Se-bert, guardian of our dough, As treasurer with figures is not slow. Lester Brass is our brilliant star, As a diligent student, he has no par: And Edward Mathias follows him With steady persistence, dour and grim. Sarkis Anthony is a quiet lad, Although he's not noisy, he's never sad, Fred Kilroy, too, hasn't much to say, But his nonchalant smile proclaims him gay. Daisy Dolan's no friend of books, But their contents assumes by his owlish looks: Bill Gardiner'-s a youth of likable poise, With contagious smile, and averse to noise, And. last comes our Charlie, questioner of renown, Whose last name is Schnitter, well known in the town, Some think he's too fussy and full of zeal, But to all those who know him. his friendship is real.
