W. A., .Wagga ,A1. L..g,,-i-., ,...,-..,..,--...- 1, SENIORS IVIARTIN O'DEA LOUIS F. OHLEYER HOVVARD IKI. OLSEN Few of the class would recognize the name Martin O'Dea, but everyone knows Ted O'Dea. 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

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

Wllitney is a member of the esoteric group that clusters about Ed M. Burke and Gene Fahy. He wanders into school every day except when the Gray Fog envelops the family mansion and renders the street Hdangerous but pass- able. Bob is one of the business magnates of the senior class who has been a member of the Seniorita staff. He is vice-president of the Senior Class, and in that category served on the ring committee, securing everything but the map of San Francisco on the class emblem. Bob has also been one of the group who decides Where and how the dances should be held. Carl is another of the economic students who draw graphs on the streetcars at 7:55 A. M. Carl is one of the small group who resents Irish dominion of the Don's Hacienda which derives its name from an institution hallowed in the early Spanish tradition. He regrets the passing of the old Spanish customs. 33
