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.

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.

l l L1 THE FORBIAN Andrew J. O'Reilly 720 Harrison Avenue Boston Sodality tl, 2, 3, 45 K. B. S. 63, 45 Dramatics Cl, 3, 45 N McElroy 425 7 If Diogenes is still rubbering around with his lantern in search of an honest man, and he is willing to take a hard-working, energetic student into tl1e bargain, then somebody please, kindly and graciously slip him Andy 0'Reilly's address. Andy is John Q. Labor himself, he just dotes on work and then asks for more. Andy be-gan as a member of our original class and all we old members remember that from the earliest days Andy has burned up the corridors, running about on one errand or another. Living near the school has its drawbacks, but Andy has met them all with that far-famed grin of his. He and the Swede certainly handled the stage managing of our high school plays with the rare skill of professionals. Those same fingers that fixed scenic effects' also tossed a me-an basketball, Andy deserved a place on the high school team but oh wfell. Well, Andy, when you're a famous electrical engineer or contractor, look us up and renew our old acquaintance or rather friendship.
