They call his native birthplace Brookville and we guess that such a place exists, although the only proof we have of the fact is the word of “Diz” himself. “Diz” was the manager of the football team of 1926 and by the unanimous consent of the players we arrive at the conclusion that Adrian was one of the best that ever accompanied the team on the road. Always solicitous for their wellbeing and comfort the fellows say he was never to be found without a few packages of chewing (gum of course) in his pocket. “Diz” held a position on the Varsity Basketball squad of 1926 and 192 • and did some neat work to aid in placing these two seasons among the most successful we have ever had. Adrian’s abilities in athletics are not his only claim to fame, however. His name is always among the leaders on Assembly day. “Diz” has trained himself well, and judging from his aptitude for public speaking we have in imagination assigned him the position of criminal lawyer in Brookville. We know that the crime wave there will be a negligible entity when “Diz” runs the town. When the sheepskins arc given in June we will miss an old face about the campus, one that, be it remembered, has been in evidence in every student activity for the past eight years. It is with real sorrow that St. Mary’s witnesses the departure of a favorite son. Fa go Forty-nine

But whether we have or not wc must concede ') U that it is true in the case of “Rosie.” Ever since “Rosie” came to St. Mary’s three years ago he lias worked hard and honestly. 11 is will to work has characterized him every day with the result that this year he merited a place of honor among the best students in the school. “Rosie’s” aspirations to greatness are not confined to the classroom, however. I le has shown his ability l oth in the field of athletics and in the social world. And though his activities in the latter field have been more or less limited to a few visits to the nearby borough, his popularity as a social light has been widely acclaimed there. In all the major sports “Rosie” is both a participant and an authority. If there is any score of any game national or local you wish to know, just ask him about it. Or if you wish to know the outcome of any game or tournament to be played in the future Rathe’’ Shay is the man to call on. lie is called “Rathe” because he sees all, knows all. But to return to what we said in the beginning. “Rosie” is a hard and determined worker. For this reason wc have no fear concerning his future success. In passing we have only one regret and that is that we must lose the close companionship of so true a friend. Page 'orly-eight

Honors. 6; Orchestra. Junior Literary, ntest Winner. '26; 25 27; 22- 23; Scn-Jun AL L conies from a big and thriving metropolis in Western Kansas. In case you haven’t heard, the name is Clifton. From this city he brings qualities that have added materially to the scholastic and social prestige of the class. Paul started his life at St. Mary’s in the small yard and his eight years have rendered him one of the most familiar faces about the campus. As a musician he carried his part well in the College Jrchestra for a number of years. He is always ready, too. to furnish the town crowd with musical entertainment. When classes are mentioned, we have to take our hats off to Paul. 1 Ie was a consistent student, and when it came time for passing out honors, he was always to be found among those who had distinguished themselves. Paul added to his glories as a student by winning the prize for a Spanish essay written for “La Prensa,” the international Spanish newspaper published in Buenos Aires. In a field of able competitors, Paul won a place, thereby bringing honor to himself and to his class. Paul’s athletic endeavors were confined to his days in the small yard for when lie became a college man he donned a pair of glasses and took the books out for a four-year workout, thereby dispelling belief in the common adage that college life is a four-year loaf on Dad’s dough. To choose a profession for Paul is a hard task. We know only that lie intends to equip himself for life with further education after he leaves St. Mary’s. Page Fifty
