DONALD FLANAGAN Shamrock Club 3 Although Don did not make the varsity basket- ball team, he led his home room teams to many victories in the course of the years. A freckle- faced, friendly lad, Don lent his support to skat- ing parties, dances, card parties, and school drives, and because of this cooperative spirit, was widely known and liked. His membership in the publicity committee of the Shamrock Club was the highlight of his junior year. A great deal of the success of the Senior Prom was due to Don's untiring efforts and ready hand. When Don Flanagan leaves St. joe's, the school will have acquired an alumnus worthy of representing his Alma Mater. , ...Q fYiQ5u 9 .PQ E f If fS ROBERT FRAWLEY ob is a popular fellow whose wide acquaint- auce among the student body indicates his ability to get along with every type of boy. Bob's un- usual hobby-collecting pictures of war heroes and battle scenes-is his full-time diversion outside of class and to this extracurricular pursuit he has given many hours of meticulous attention. Bob was one of those students who found himself much occupied in the arduous task of doing his utmost to gain knowledge in the manner least likely to cause mental agonies and to this end he devoted himself untiringly for four long years at St. joe's. 26
