(2) St. Vincent De Paul (4) Class President (4) It is indeed a pleasure to be able to present to you, dear reader, the President of the Class of 1916. By his diplomacy and clever manage- ment the class has gained its great- est laurels during the past year. But Bill did not jump into the limelight suddenly; from the very day he entered college he put forth the very best that was in him to make our class the greatest boast of Alma Mater. We all remember how Bill gave us the benefit of his keen intellect, of his strong character, and of his noble ideals during the four years that he has spent in our midst. With a genial disposition that the most difficult task could not eradicate, with an astute mind, and a wholesome humor, Bill ' s presence among us has been one which we shall not soon forget; and we wish, that in his every future endeavor he may meet with the same success that has been his during his college course. With a smile that never ' anished, Every college task he ' d scan ; But the thing we most remember Is the fact that he ' s a man. ai

J ames Louis Davey, 28 Bon St., Salem, Mass. Sodality (1. 2. 3, 4) 1 XOUS (1. 2. 3, 4) St. Vincent de Paul (4) The delegation from Salem is a jovial group, and Jirii is their droll spokesman. Now Ji is an excellent student and a mathe- matician of no mean calibre, yet in the midst of the most serious lecture he can find time for some pleasant laugh-provoking remark, after which he will return to his work. His gift of humor is won- derful and the many pleasant ar- guments which he has started in S the delegation from the Witch City have been a source of joy H which we shall long remember. As a student he has brought us P: honor; as a classmate he has given us no little entertainment; as a M friend he has given us reason to rejoice and to wish him in his B future undertakings a long life in which to enjoy great success. To smile and never Harbor care, Has been his proverb. He ' s there . 32

Leander Thomas DeCelles, 46 Ware St., Somerville St. Vincent de Paul (4) Stylus(2. .?, 4) About three weeks after we had assembled as Freshmen, this jovial youth appeared, somewhat late, it is true, but for that reason all the more welcome. The class would indeed have been incom- plete without him. Leander is very well kno N ' n to the readers of the Stylus to whose pages he has been a constant contributor during his entire course. An omnivorous reader, he is part- icularly well- versed in Greek mythology, with which knowledge he has often astounded us. His inexhaustible supply of wit has prevented any class becoming at all dry or monotonous. With a pleasant mixture of humor and seriousness, Leander has won a place in our hearts, and we . shall not soon forget the happy hours we have spent in his company. We presume to prognosticate that this facetiously fascinating fellow will devote himself to literary pursuits, and we will watch his progress in this field closely and confidently. A poet with a brilliant wit, A humorist of fame, And ah to versatility, Why that ' s his middle name.
