THE FORBIAN Joseph P. Fitzgerald 12 Joseph Street Medford Sodality Cl, 2, 35 K. B. S. 42, 33 C4Harp77 Here's the original don,t-worry kid. 'What a pal is Joe, popu- larly called the Hai-pf' VVou1d that all our friends were like Joeg how much sweeter would life flowg how cheerier would the stormy patl1s he. There is not o11e among us, who does not wish he had a little of Hai-pls disposition. It's tough to think of saying good-bye to him in June for in our four years of class association he has become endeared and grown close to all of usg and though We yield him to the outside world soon We have no fear of his making good. Just smile Harp anduthe world can't help but smile with youg if ever a cloud eclipses the sunshine, ba11ish it with the magic Wand of good-nature, your cheery smile. Your memory is a bright spot J oeg may you ad- vance steadily along the road to success.

WVithout exaggeration, tl1e class of '25 B points to Fitz as one of tl1e greatest, if not the greatest speaker in tl1e history of B. C. High. WV inning the elocution contest for soph- omores and f1'6Si11ll011 while in his second year was but a forecast of what one was to expect the next year. For he won both the Bapst Prize Debate and tl1e Senior Elocution Prize of 3525.00 in gold, the first time we believe that a third year 111311 ever had this double honor con- ferred upon him. Aside from this, Fitz starred in two High School productions. Armed with good nature, learning, oratory and perfect poise, t11e class can, and does, hold him up before the world and pro- claini hini to be a true Catholic Gentleman, a born leader of men.

S. 43, 43 Baseball L45 McElroy C25 Pug, Porky, filohnnief' 1 - L John has been with us for four years, off and on, like the famous Mr., Finnegan 5 and he has convinced us that you can do two things at -once, that is, have a date with a dentist U5 andstill show up in time for school. On all our outings Pugv has been along to brighten the occasion and to demonstrate his athletic prowess. Why he never went out for any of the high scho-ol teams l1as always been a mystery to-us. Perhaps Somerville held out too many charms. A bundle of pep, con- densed into a small package, which might explode without a moment's notice Would be 3 definition which would lit Pug perfectly.
