SENIORS ' rm RYCHARD A. IMURPHY CHARLES E. NUSSBAUIKI R ARD C. 0'C N OR Red is a brother of a former football captain and he hasn't been a bad end himself though he never broke into Pat Frayne's razzberry column. He is of course a carrot top and he has inherited the proverbial Irish Wit and gift for repartee. When student body meetings were proposed for 2 P. M., Red suggested 7 A. M. and thus effectually disposed of the thought of afternoon sessions. Charlie was a member of the 1930 freshman basketball team that was undefeated and that appeared in 1933 as the first string U.S.F. varsity. He was a clean, hard, driving player who always came through with points when needed. Together with Roy Oxsen, Charlie was Captain of the varsity. Dick is the only member of the class who has spent three years on the debating team, journeying hither and yon and turning the beacon light of scholastic philosophy upon every conceivable problem. Fame has also come to him as one of the armchair columnists of the Foghorn. 31

SENIORS f 21 FRANCIS D. MONTE THOBIAS A. IX L A ' VVESLEY F. IXIURRAY Minus the glasses, Frank could double on a profile act for the Father of the Renaissance, Petrarch. Iust why he confines his warbling to the organ loft of his San Rafael parish church, we cannot say, perhaps he gets an Easter egg annually for his pains. We have it on the q-t- that losing Frank from the ranks of the Glee Club is one of Fred Brownls secret sorrows. Tom is a former basketball player who has been degenerated into an econo- mist. He now spends days and nights laboring over charts and graphs. Tom has a gentle, wavering voice which is displayed with incomparable finesse when he played the part of the groom in a New Year's Eve mock wedding. Wes has been listed as a cynic by his Boswell, Dick O'Connor. The infor- mation should be correct as it comes from an unimpeachable source and has been verified by Wes' voluble confessions, yet his winning of a prize for an essay in theology would seem to indicate that he is no embryonic Voltaire or Talley- rand. Wes is a member of K.L.S. and reads every book Dick O'Connor secures. 30

Ted is perhaps the best-dressed senior and no one at U.S.F. remembers Ted wearing anything but a suit except on the day of the Frosh- Soph brawl. However, he is more than a clothes model and is one of the important tycoons of the class. MLouie is the President of the Student Body and in his oflicial capacity has to attend every function ofthe college. Because of his compulsory presence at these debates, lectures, dances, etc., Htouier has been bored more frequently than anyone except his predecessor in ofhce. He was a flashy quarterback for four years and played at least half of every basketball game on Wally Cameron's team. Howard is a short, husky, smiling football player who made the trek from McClymonds High School in Oakland to U.S.F. He always played a flashy half-back position and should have been in the game more of the time. It was Olie who intercepted a St. Marys pass in 1932 in the closing minutes of the game, thereby paving the way for a U.S.F. touchdown. 32
