'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. He was a bulwark on defense at the Senior Banquet, and played two years Varsity football. 20 . .iii Jr iw..- Y ,au . 4... 511'

' 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 .

, 5 -.' '4 SENIORS f4?W l '33 VINCENT T. GREELY IOHN D. HANLHY GEORGE H. HARLEY Vin had always done his sleeping in class until Father Dunne started scooting down the aisle to interfere with him. Since these interruptions, Vin has lost Weight visibly. His comments on the state of the Union and especially of the College and the Faculty are tinged With the cynicism that four years of college would inculcate. lack thrives on conversation, gesticulates equally well with either hand, never sleeps, and is generally more active than a one-armed juggler with the hives. He is Archon of Kappa Lambda Sigma, Chairman ofthe Board of Student Control, an habitual divot-digger, and the absent-minded professor incarnate. George is the tall, lank, peroxide blond who for four years has gathered a flock of Well-groomed young men under his guidance and produced a tennis team. Having the team, George then went to Work and secured a schedule. 21
