YV e ca11't tell you about the can for it is beyond t11e limited scope of our descriptive powers. But know ye all that Frank fhardly anyone calls hin1 Mac5 is our All-Scholastic end! For three years now he has held down a berth on the football team besides scintillating i11 track, basketball and baseball. He cap- tains the baseball team this spring. Here is a real college prospect. Despite all this he is very modest, even to the point of retiring. He is naturally popular. He has handled class offices capably. A quiet sort of chap, with legions of friends, we feel sure that wherever the parting road may take us, our last liiigering thoughts will be of Mecca, as he is known to all.

THE FORBIAN Allan McCarthy 12 Madison Street . Revere l Sodality 12, 3, 45 K. B. S. 13, 41 Just Allan! Allan-quiet, reserved, unassertiveg and yet somehow, one senses that down beneath l1is cl-oak of modesty there are latent powers----the talents of a leader Born to lead but content to follow seems to tit him. He has such an appealing smile-one that seems to grip to hold youg and o11e canit merely know Allan without. feeling that he is a true friend. He has always stood out like a rock of common sense amo-ng his somewhat boisterous fellowsg he is the one redeeming quiet boy in our noisy class. Invariably the class begins with his recitation and needless to say, the day has always had an auspicious beginning. Here we make a prophecy: someday, something or somebody, will in some way, somehow, get under Allan's skin and then all the pent up sinouldering fires in that mighty frame -of his will break forth to rock the world. We'1'e rooting for you Allan-go to it.

THE FORBIAN John L. McCrohan 9 Sparhawk Street Brighton Sodality C1, 2, 3, 45 K. B. S. C3, 45 Class President Q15 , McElroy Prize Debate C25 Bapst C35 , Prize Debate C45 Campion Q35 Elocution C15, fVVinner5g C2, 3, 45 Botolphian fl, 2, 3, 45 Track 63, 45 fficidy' Mac,' l John has, we are sure, worn out two or three boards, on the school stage, as l1e has tripped across tl1e1n to receive all those rewards which he so deservedly earned. For he is more versatile than versatility itself, he is a leader in everything. Home News Editor 011 the Bo- tolphian Staff, Prize Debater, Elocution Contest Winiier, and Athlete Extraordinary, these are a few of his many accomplishments. He was one of the speediest dashmen and the best intermediate broadl jumper in the school. Marconi is a little better, but still John turns a wicked rheostat. He is our radio authority. In some strong hold or store room at 1101119 he must be saving all his prizes that he has gained while in the school. He is undoubtedly one of the most bril- liant workers in the history of the school, not only that, he has ob- tained resultf, and that is the most desirable thing of all. We wish we had more space to enumerate his splendid deeds, but we will just cl-o-se by saying that he is a true Catholic gentleman, an honest scholar and a loyal friend, is anything else necessary?
