TI-IE FORBIAN William F. -F lynn 73-Clarkson Street' Dorchester Sodality 11, 2, 3, 45 K. B. S. 13, 45 Class President. 125 Class Vioe-President 12, 45 McElroy 125 Football 13, 45 Baseball 13, 45 Hockey 13, 45 Swimming 13, 45 Known to all as Hain F'VVooly and Porky,' 2 A gentleman, a scholar, an athlete and a prince of good fellows, one of the brightest and most popular fellows tl1a.t ever ate a Bis- mark in B. C. High, a11d yet all this fails to fittingly describe VVillia1n Frawncis. He is versatility itself a11d what is paramount, a. line fel- low. Lessons and sports come alike to Bill, for he did everything and did aforesaid everything well. He never coveted honor and dis- tinction yet he received them both. Bill is the ideal student--the ideal athlete-the ideal boy, loved and esteemed by all. Even if he were not the great leader that he is in studies and sports, his untiring industry, combined with rare geniality and consideration for others would have won the respect and friendship of all, but now he is doubly enshrined in our lives and it will take more than the passing years to efface the friendship and love in our hearts for our suiiling Bill

THE FORBIAN John F. Flynn 19 Morris Street Everett Sodality Cl, 2, 3, 4b K. B. S. C3, 43 Promoter, League of Sacred Heart McElroy Q21 Jack, Paddy - Quiet, modest and unassuming is John F. from Everett., a gen- tleman and a scholar. He ranks a close second to the Judge as a sup- porter of B. C. and upholder of Chuck Darling, 'but he is alone in his glory at glistening in to friend ffstatici' His Voice was seldom heard in class fa rose in a corner of thornsj but quiet as he was he always held a ready, smiling greeting and made friends with everyone. John Ffsl' modesty, We are sure, will bring those stable results atten- dant to the quiet and earnest worker. Perhaps no blaze of rlietorical trumpets will herald l1is entrance into post-high school affairs, but he no -doubt will' attain whatever goal he seeks. Good-bye John and good luck.

S. 13, 45 Class Treasurer Q3, 45 Botolphian Cl, 2, 3, 47 Class Basketball C21 Track Q45 Bud, f'Gil, Buster Good old Honest Jawnli' Smiling, irrepressible, lovable Gil! He is an indispensable part of usg an l11lp01't2'l.Il1', cog in the functioning of our school life. Gil is beyond being popularg for he oife-rs true friendslnp and is a highly desirable comrade. Gil is endeared to all of us-even Swanson, his bitter enemy. Our jovial Gil would make Beau Brunnnel look like a runnnage sale. The Botolphian would be lost without l1i1n. As business lll21,llilgGl' he has energetically striven to make it a suceessg and we feel sure that only a .man like Gil could capably fill the office. As a. testimonial of our regard and trust in Gil, he was re-elected treasurer-we pause here-for what more can we say? Gil never feared anyone and is a born fighter--but oh, l1ow hefell before the attaehs of that young battler, B121CkSf0llQ,,J1'.! WVe wish we could smile like Gil-not only when sunlight is streaming in but when clouds are overhanging and dark. If ever we iniss any one, it will be Gil. AWN, ,, AAL, ,L ,
