' SENIORS ALFRED A. FIRPO IOHN T. FORDE CARROLL FOSS Ladies and gentlemen, meet Al Firpo, the Mystery Man. We put every scandal monger in the Senior class on the trail of Firp, and not one scintilla of dirt rewarded their combined eliforts. We only know that Al plays chess, and has a shock of unruly black hair that makes him resemble his pugnacious namesake, the 'iWild Bull ofthe Pampasf' Iohn is the campus Stan Laurel, i.e., in physical appearance: he probably detests that eminent slap-stick artist and his ilk in the current cinema palaces. He dusts off javelins and locks up the disci nightly in his capacity as Senior track manager-his reward for these labors will be a trip to the metropolis of Fresno for the Fresno Relays. Carroll is called lake because everything is usually that way with him. He decided that he'd rather keep his adenoids and play end on Fred Brown's Glee Club than be able to sleep without snoring. Those apertures under his eyebrows that resemble slits in a red blanket are vestiges of what were formerly eyes, in the days when frat houses were an economic possibility. 19 'li.a .

SENIORS I 1 GLENN U. FAUROT EDVVARD A. PAY THOIXIAS F. FINN Glenn is a product of Galileo High School and a boon companion of Elbert Quilici of Whom more later. He Wears a perpetual scowl that eminent psychologists tell us is the protective coating of an inferiority complex. How- ever, this is probably a false diagnosis as we have never seen Glenn in his more intimate moments such as singing harmony or picking a tenor banjo to bits. Ed is one of the basement crew who has spent four years listening to the iconoclastic lectures that emanate from that region devoted to chemistry and the production of various piquant odors that haunt the corridors of the college. Four years of Wearing a smock will climax in a B.S. for Ed. Tom was able to interpret Gallicized English to the rest of the membership of the Cosmopolitan Club and because of this has risen to be its secretary. Having written a critical essay of three thousand words, Tom has achieved membership in Kappa Lambda Sigma which eititles him to the expression of his opinion on literary trends at any time. 18

'T SENIORS JOHN D. GAIDANO ELMER P. GARIUGAN JOHN H. GRADY Iohn Gaidano has spent four years as a disciple of Henry I. Strickroth and his economic ideas and theories concerning the management of chicken ranches. In high school, he acquired the nickname '4Plato,'y and after several years in erudite circles had changed the pronunciation to 'LPlato,' as in platter. Elmer is a chubby senior who always ate his cereal for breakfast and his spinach for lunch without maternal coaxing. As a result of this he has developed into a stalwart football and basketball player. Whenever Iimmy Needles' boys made a touchdown, Elmer was rushed into the game to make the conversion if he hadn't made the score in question. lack Grady got honorable mention in Ballyhoo's All-Shower-Room selection for skating fifty feet on a bar of soap. lack spent two years at Taft Iunior College, and then decided to take his schooling seriously.
