E. I P P THE FORBIAN Harold J. Mulhern 79 Thetford Avenue Dorchester Sodality Cl, 2, 3, 41 K. B. S. 13, 41 'cMll1,7, .Stretch,' l Like Napoleon, small but ol1 my! For a long time we were wor- ried but he iinally donned the longies. Mul is breezy and brief, not only physically but naturally. For 21 little man he certainly held up Sc-olpo for a long while. It's a joy to see young Mul iielding around short. He scoops up anything and everything with the ease of a Mar- anville. He is the iirst little fellow we've met that was quiet. But enough of his size-Mul's heart is big and that's the only thing that counts. WVe're sure that he counts as much as our biggest friend. It's been a pleasure to have him with us and we don't mean maybe. Some day we hope Mul will look down upon usg we are speaking liter- ally, not figuratively. WVell, Mul, old kid, so long. '

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?

THE FORBIAN' Vincent P. O'Brien 579 Washington Streets Brighton Sodality 11, 2, 3, 43 K. B. S. C3, 41 Botolphian Cl, 2, 3, 45 McElroy C25 ' Ollie, f'Vin, Deak, Paul Psychologists tell us that children evince i11 their childhood actions, tl1e vocation they will lnter enlbruce in life. If that is true and we are not attempting to deny it, then our own dear Vinny will become :rfearless courageous fire-'ligl1te1', valiantly responding to iire alarms. For Vinny even in his childhood days has exhibited a strong liking for fire-houses and their OllVl1'01'l1llQ1lt. It our humble. domicile should ever be the prey of leaping tlzunes we hope it will be a strong, beautiful Hreman like O'Bie hastening to the scene. However, Vinny is a cool student and quite a. personality in the ClilSS-1'00lll. Another thing that he can chase besides fire-trucks is the elusive ad for the Botlolphian. VVl1en it came to 'spearing them he had no equal and he filled his office of Cllilllilllilll of the Advertising lloard on the Botoiphian Staff with rare skill. A willing worker and popular fellow, we have all enjoyed his presence during his four years in our midst.
