VVILLIAM E. CULLINAN QAugust 8, 1905-February 17, 19265 C VVild VVilliam,', Bill j, 102 Union Street, Rockland, Mass. N. A. A., Dramatic Club, Glee Club, Football, Basket- ballg Soccer. In September, 1922. a class of over eighty freshmen started on the road to a degree. Of this large number only twelve were boys, who had classes apart from the girls. Naturally, each young man was deeply held in reverence as a friend by every other young man. Each other's names were soon learned, and the name of Bill,' was immediately in promi- nence. He shone in football and in baseball. In his second year he starred in basketball, and was lauded in his fourth year for his excellent work in soccer. Besides being a four-letter man, he was versatile in other types of sport. As a student, Bill was in the AH Class. He had a highly intelligent, alert, and keen mind, much in evidence in every class. Not only were his recitations highly creditable, but also were his essays, which were filled with substance cleverly arranged and poetical, and which were most en- joyable. Bill will always be remembered a poet. He created ex- quisite rhymes and verse for the classes and for the boys, all of which effervesced with life, laughter, and youth. After cementing our friendships through the last three years, we came together refreshed this past Fall to finish the last lap of Normal School. Bill came to Bridgewater to stay, but resumed commuting after Thanksgiving. After Christmas, he began work on the Men 's Dramatic Club play, The Time of His Life. Bill had a very difficult char- acterization, which he play-ed to perfection. The play was presented and Bill was a hit. About two weeks later came the severe shock- Bill was called to his Eternal Reward. Some time or other in the course of our lives there comes to each of us some great sor- row, inevitably and unavoidablv it steals on us so suddenly we cannot realize the depth until afterward. The memory of him will always linger- Bill here at school, o11e of us.
