urnle 'iTDatcbe1' .lgnd nd f IAMES PATRICK KANE lfforcewler, z7Ia.r.faclzu.rell.r Jim first claimed our attention way back in Freshman year on the occasion of the first reading of the marks. It was then that we realized that the Class of Twenty-seven was blessecl with a real scholar. His high scholastic rating continued throughout the entire course and the ease with which he mastered the intricacies of the principles of St. Thomas, el al, was a source of wonder- ment to we more unfortunate ones. Aclmirative of things athletic it was but natural that Jim shoulcl connect himself with some branch of sport, for Jim was a star linesman for three years at St. Iohn's High, but at Holy Cross Jimff first thought was for the books. However, his devotion to the football squad of which he was a member was generous and constant. Rumor has it that Jim will enter the teaching profession. Knowing as we do his character and ability, we prophesy a truly successful future.

K ' ' 1 TD 1 W' Eg! Qurv e a char PATRICK EDWARD IGYCE Clinlon, 17I1z.maclzu.rell.r Pal is another of the Clinton boys who daily patronize that South Worcester horse car, known the world over as the Holy Cross Special. He is a quiet and modest young man but we all know him well and feel privileged to declare him a true friend. We will remember Pal as a real gentleman and scholar, always ohliging, most of whose time out of class is evidently expended poring over his books, for his marks are always a long distance from the danger line. Pu! has always shown himself to be a real comrade and although we are not yet acquainted with his ambition in life, his sincerity and determination can- not fail to carry him far in his chosen field. It is an ancient maxim that silence is golden. Since Pal has appeared to be of the silent type, and as we know him to he possessed of those sturdy qualities that make for success, we predict that he will find the end of the rainbow.

The words, genial and president, perfectly express the regard the class of '27 has for lyall and are also a perfect portrayal of his character. 1Vall'.r ready wit and humor were the salvation of the pre-meds, in the dark and gloomy days of Iunior. There was no cloud so dark that he could not put a silver lining in it and help the boys forget their woes. As chief consultor on Lower Alumni, Middle Beaven and Middle Loyola, his room was a rendezvous from late in the morning till late at night. Through the four years l17all showed a marked bent for leadership, for behind his witty speech and cheerful mien there was much hard, common sense and wisdom and few were slow to take advantage of both. We can now only look forward to reunions at which lyall will once again spread merriment and laughter with recollections of Freshman and Sophomore G, Iunior Biology and the bursted pillow. It is a blow to us all to lose lyall but we are only saying, Auf Wiedersel1enQ Clzemlwl Club Pl'6.Tl.d6l2f, 4 Purple Key, 4 117 alerhury Club Prefidenl, 4 fllendel Club, 5, 4 B. V. 171.
