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.

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 Andrew B. Ochs 201-Q Mt. Vernon Street Dorchester Sodality 12, 3, 43 K. B. S. 43, 49 Prefect Senior Sodality Baseball Q33 lKBa11t777 i6Aud3777 Soinewhere back in the brain of every teacher there is an ideal, an elusive vision, a hope and yet a doubt, of a model student. But Andy is it, and beyond any doubt. Quiet, ready, and energetic, any tired prof would welcome him with wide-open arms. But then it may be that Andy being older than most of us and having seen so inueh of the world has a truer recognition of what school and an edu- cation means. At least, we can count ourselves lucky that Andy de- cided to return to the cloistered halls of learning, whatever that is, and gain a little additional polish. A 1'61ll211'k2lll1Q student and always an honor 1ll2l1l,' an athlete in good standing and above all, a true, loyal friend and perfect gentleman, he has been a credit. to the class and we are one and all proud of l1in1. Good work, Andy, but keep it up. However, we are sure that you will go out into the world, prepared to meet it and all its obstacles, 31141 to bring additional glory to the school and our class.
