THE DES PEFES COLLEGE SENIORS SIMON WHITE. A. B. “Sy” West Depore. Wis. Entered from Salvatorian College St. Nazisms, Wis. PETER PRITZL. A. B. Philippi West Depere, Wis. BERN. McKEOUGH. A. B Bernie Allouez. W is. Sy “Sy” has not been with us very long, hut since his coming he has won the esteem of all. When things look blue and seem to be going wrong, White is always there with a pleasant smile and a helping hand. In his classes he has denoted a tenacity of purpose and an indomitable determination which assures him of attaining his ultimate goal. Keep after it ! We’re all with you. “Philippi “Philippi” is one of the most versatile of college students. Because of his short, round build he proved to be a great help to Coach Carey on the gridiron. Even after he was tackled he could roll for considerable extra yardage. In the class-room he was capable and steady. While he was assistant librarian he showed that he could not be bluffed when he escorted Kondou and Steinmeta from the library for misbehavior. Another event that most of the older students will remember happened at Legion Park. “Philippi downed his man time after time, with swift hard tackles. Bernie “Bernie” is a most talented member of the college department. He stands at the head of all these classes. Now, don't picture to yourself a bookworm who thinks only of textbooks and treatises for if you do you will completely miss “Bernie’s” character. He is one of St. Norbert’s foremost athletes in football, basketball, base-ball, track he has won his varsity letter in all of them. Any activity, new or old, finds him taking deep and personal interest in it. Add to these accomplishments a winning personality, friendliness and a keen sense of humor and you will have a fairly vivid character sketch of “Bernie.

When I would muse in boyhood The wild green woods among, And nurse resolves and fancies Because the world was young, It was not foes to conquer, Nor sweethearts to be kind, But it was friends to die for That I would seek and find. I sought them far and found them, The sure, the straight, the kind, The hearts I lost my own to, And sadly leave behind.

THE DES FEEES DAVID RONDOU. A. B. CHARLES KENNY, A. B. “Crafty” “Charlie” West Depere, Wis. West Depere, Wis. Crafty” While still in high school his playmates dubbed him Crafty’’ because of his elusive tactics on the basket-ball floor. Now that he has become a collegian he is, naturally far more reserved and dignified than he was as a common” Academic. His evasiveness, however, has not in the least lost its edge, but has been even more finely sharpened. The professor who can keep Crafty from successfully eluding in one way or another the pitfalls of examination does not teach at this school. “Charlie” One look at Charlie’s features and you will be convinced that at last you have met with a serious, studious collegian. But look again. Those eyes which just now seem to be earnestly searching for more and more knowledge may in a minute be brightened with a roguish twinkle. The monotony of many class periods has been broken by one of Kenny's sudden Irish witticisms. Although Charles was usually too busy with his studies to indulge in athletics, he could usually be seen in the gym at noon helping Crafty to whip his day-dodger basketball team into shape. The bumps which he received during the course of these workouts sometimes disabled him temporarily, but he always came back for more. May he be able to do the same when Dad Time takes a wallop at him in the future. 1‘inj.- Ttrmlf Sijr
