PROUD RECORD OF 4G The industrious Class of 4G was under the excellent tutelage of Father Francis Murphy, SJ., for Latin, English, French, and Religion, Father Blais, SJ., carried us through the intricacies of Physics, and Mr. Greene, SJ., and Father McDermott, S.J., for Mathematics. It was on the capable shoulders of these very worthy instructors that the task of moulding the Class of 4G rested. Our Class President was Mike Heffernan who was later elected President of the Senior Class. We are proud of the athletic achievement of the members of our class: Jim Cummings, Mike Heffernan, and Joe McKenney in football, Andy Gill, Bob Lavin, and George Pierce fCapt.j, in basketball, Mike Heffer- nan, Paul Marley fCapt.j, and Art Roche 92 in Track, Jim Cummings and joe Mc- Kenney in baseball, and Bob Stockman in hockey. Our school band was graced with the talents of Fran McCarthy, the Camera Club with Tom Tracy, the Radio Club with Chris Grimley and Frank Roche, and the Science Club with John Natoli, Bob Lavin, and Ken Wells. In leaving the cherished portals of B. C. High we wish to express our gratitude to Very Reverend Father Rector, to Father Keane, our kindly principal, to Father Mur- phy and our auxiliary teachers, who made our Senior Year most pleasant-and to every one through whose excellent example and fine guidance we are graduating as a class of good Catholic Americans.

HISTRIONICS OF 4F The class of Fourth Year F seemed to be an orphan in the school. Actually our home- room teacher was Father Joseph Murray, Sal., but oddly enough, he was the only teacher who didn't hold class in the home- room. We trekked up to the Physics' Room to have the theories of Luther, Calvin, and Darwin refuted in the field of Religion, and the theories of Von Guericke, Pascal, and Newton upheld in the Held of Physics. In our homeroom proper Father John Murphy, SJ., piloted our course through the black waters of the Aeneidg Mr. Fran- cis Vogel supervised the writing of reams of translations from the Hessian Language, Mr. john Farricy divulged the secrets of the Trig tables, and Father Laurence McCarthy, made the story, A TALE OF TWO CITIES and the play UMACBETI-I seem almost as if they should have been read. The Of'hcers of 4-Fl' were Bob Gaughan, 9 President, Pete Keohan, Vice-President, and Walt McDonough, Secretary. We found ourselves capable of forming a pretty good band. We had Al Walsh on the sax, Dick Gaulin on trombone, two trumpeters in Tim Delaney and Pete Keo- hang also a duo of pianists, Willie Nash and Pete Zacharias, and, of course, we all re- member the vocal refrains of the boys in the back of the room. In sports our claim to fame was in Tim Sheehan for football, and Phil Maloney, who swung a mean racket and starred on the tennis team. Volumes could be written on antics of class clowns, the witticisms of teachers and scholars, the respect of the boys for the faculty, the reverence during religious functions, and all the incidents that made memorable this year, our Senior Year at B. C. High.

NOTES ON 4H September found 4H assembled in an old but cheery room on the second corridor of dear old B. C. H. Our class members were collected from almost every section in third year. At the start of our last year in high school, our class was placed under the direc- tion of Father james Foley, S.J., in the Classics, Mr. Francis Vogel in the realm of both German and Math, while some of our more scientific students were taught Physics by Father Blais, S.J. We are indeed indebted to each of them for their loyal guidance and patience. Besides having probably more honor men than any other Senior Class Section, 4I-I can also boast that it is well represented in the Extra-curricular Department. Among the scholars there shone the stellar names of Silverson, Kellaher, Sayers and John Sulli- van. The latter of these not only excelled in his studies, but also proved most capable as our Class President. In turning to the field of sports, 4I-I made l93l a very noteworthy contribution. In hockey it was Captain George Sullivan, in basket- ball and baseball the McElroy Twins, Thomas and John, Dick Fallon and John Boyle turned in creditable contributions on the football field. Pete Walsh represented us in the minstrel show while Paul O'Brien and Charlie Smith played in the band. In the Literary Depart- ment we were represented by Fallon, Smith, O'Leary, O'Connor, Cawley, and William Sullivan on the RENAISSANCE Staff while Jim Donovan did our class jottings for the Botolphian. All in all our Senior Year has been most valuable to us. Its pleasant memories, and patient teachers and spirit will forever be in our hearts as will all the members of our class with their mutual friendliness and companionship-all will always be close to our hearts. May each class have such a happy memory. JAM1ss CAWLIQY
