FOREWORD Prompted by the sincere conviction that to every man there comes a time when he would look back upon the days of his youth, and desirous of having some record of the countless suc- cesses and happinesses crowded into these four short years, we present this most humble effort to our classmates.. To attempt to herein recount even a great part of our glories and pleasures were futile indeed; and so, we have sought to record accurately those incidents most generally remembered by us and most suggestive of other equally happy moments. Conscious, as we are, of the many imperfections which this work must possess, we feel certain that they will be overlooked, and if the book shall in the years to come, serve as a kind and happy guide to kindlier friends and happier days, then shall our efforts have not been in vain, and we shall find therein our greatest thanks. THE COMMITTEE. OUR HISTORY With a mingled sense of pleasure and pain we look back across the years to that warm, bright September morning of four years ago, when we gathered at James Street to find a dream, perhaps of years, a happy reality. Do you remember how we, one by one, blushing, smiling and perhaps nervous, presented ourselves to the Freshmen professors for inspection and instruction ? And when this formality was over we repaired to the book store (some few of us went down- town) for the books we felt were neccesary. It took but a few days to get under way. We then chose Frank Ryan as our lead er. With what great interest we translated and improved upon the Odes of Horace and the Odyssey! With what stern interest we listened to the lectures of Mr. Cox, S. J., of Fr. Lane, S. J., and of Fr. Stedler, S. J. But it would not have been consistent with the spirit of the class to devote our entire attention to our intellectual development; and so we sent our sturdy repre- sentatives on the gridiron, Buck Hurley, Leo Daley, Duffy, Kiley, Heffernan, Doc Fleming, Rogers, Fallon and Conley. On the track, Halloran, Rowan and Duffy held high the standard of the class. But not alone in these fields did we star, for Scolponeti, Hinchey, Hendricks, Mclnnis, Ryan, Atkinson, Mahoney, Gillis, Feeney and Carney brought us immeasurable glory in dramatics. We laid aside our books for one evening to show our grace in the art of dancing and in this, our first dancing party at Horticult- ural Hall, we met with the same success that has characterized our every effort. It was about this time that four of our members constituted themselves alienists and after serious pubhc discussion decided that Hamlet should not be removed to an asylum. Sophomore saw us climbing higher in the paths of glory. Loe Daley was captain of the varsity football team, and led with him from the class, Woods, Duffy, Kiley, Doc Fleming, Hurley, Killion and Halloran. Strengthened by the teachings and inspi- ration of Mr. Cox, S. J., Fr. Coveney, S. J., and Fr. Keating, S. J. we sought newer and nobler laurels and Mr. Scolponeti was awarded the prize in the oratorical contest. The pleasing stories of Mclnnis and Kenney, the excellent essays of Edwin Daly and the sweet songs of Leo Sullivan, De Celles, Fitzgerald and McHugh brought us fresh praises. And our actors — well you should have seen them, that ' s all. On the evening of November twenty-fifth a committee composed of our conscientious president, Edwin Daly, Jerry McCarthy, Atkinson, Prendergast and Gillis gave us the opportunity of enjoying our second dancing party, at Horticultural Hall, which was another triumph. Junior ! With what curiosity did ' e look forward to the intri- cacies of philosophy and the possible ignominies of those much mooted circles . However, with our characteristic determination we went on, and — well, here we are ! We chose as our leader Andy Ramisch, and a popular leader he was. After the Maine game Harry Kiley was elected captain of the football eleven and Leo Daley, Duffy, Driscoll, Gaffney and Atkinson gave him no little assistance in the many victories of the team. Leo Halloran was still B. C. ' s premier pitcher again, as in Freshman and Sophpmore, Jimmy Linnehan, Duffy, and Doc Fleming were present with their help. We also sent happy Steve Fitzgerald to hold our standards high. Harold Rowan was the gentle but zealous leader of the track team, and we were still hon- ored by the writing of De Celles, GilUs, Daly, Gerald Fitzgerald and McHugh. But the Junior Prom ! It was some time ! Just ask some of our guests at the Somerset, on the evening of February fifth and they will tell you that it was without a doubt the best Prom that the friends and students of B. C. have ever enjoyed. For this wonderful time great credit is due Mr. Ramisch, Jack Atkinson, who was chairman of the committee, Jerry McCarthy, W. Fleming Mahoney, Reynolds and Sheehan. Genial Hugh Doyle and Frank Mahoney were our able representatives in the Prize Debate and they did indeed account for themselves well. Thus our Junior ye ar came to a close. Dignified Seniors ! Visions of caps and gowns, of diplomas, of class day, of Ethics, of Psychology, and of other things without number were ours as we entered the senior class with the dignity proverbial of seniors. To have paused in our upward climb would have been un ' orthy of us. Consequently we sent Jimmie Duffy to captain the football team and with him we sent Leo Daley, Kiley, Fleming, Steve Fitzgerald and Gaffney. I need not mention their great work. Ed Daly has given us great honor as editor of the Stylus and the ' ork of Gillis, Smith, McHugh and Gerald Fitzgerald have kept us unique in the literary world. Leo Halloran, Steve Fitzgerald, Doc Fleming and Duffy have kept our stand- ard high on the diamond, and the oratory of Mahoney, Scolponeti and Joe Hurley ' ill long be remembered. As for the acting of Carney, Scolponeti, Daly, Gillis, Atkinson and others, all I can say is that to understand, you should have seen them acting. Under the able and diplomatic leadership of Bill Deacy, we have had our most successful year, and is, indeed, one of which we can justly be proud. The four short years are nearly over. Our glories I have given only in part. I might tell you of the many who have remained in the background, but without whose support little or nothing would have been accomplished. The clear, pure standard that we raised in Freshman, has been carried higher and higher, and ever pure, it will be carried higher still, till at length it shall gradually pierce even into Heaven. Joseph McHugh UTLW, He sought not to do; To do well was his aim. Successful? you ask, Look vnider his name. This is he! Who? Why, Get- Ihings-under-way Jack. He ' s the fellow that arranged such a wonder- ful time for you at our Junior Prom. Yes, Yes, the fellow with the pom- padour the girls all admired. No! No ! Not Jack — the pom- padour. Since he crossed the river into the City, they have changed the proverb, If you want a thing done right, do it your- self. It now reads, Get ' Jack ' to do it. Yes, he ' s always doing things. When he isnt scooping for Hearst, or assisting the Glee club, or playing football, or chasing ads for the Stylus, or running a Prom. he ' s studying — perhaps. Persistent plugging has made his middle name Business. He ' s booked for the top, and he won ' t be happy till he gets there. m Albert Charles Brennan A man of few words, With a most modest way, And one you can trust With your all, any day. 26 Dunmore St., Roxbury Promoter Sacred Heart (1) St. Vincent de Paul (4) IXOUS (1, 2, 3, 4) Sodality (1. 2, i. 4( When we are confronted with true modesty, we must admire it. Consequently when Al came to us and became acquainted in his quiet unassuming manner, we were compelled, first to interest and then to admiration of him. Modesty, however, often leads to moroseness but such has by no means, been true of Al , for his smile, indicative of his happy dis- position and of his satisfaction with the world in general, has ever been the unyielding foe of gloom. In the heat and excitement of a class meeting, one glance at Al would be all that would be required to dispel any youth- ful desire to add to the excitement. To fully appreciate him, you must know him, and did you know him you would condemn this effort as failing to picture him with justice. Such a pleasant dis- position, such self-restraint, and such modesty, coupled with abiUty, persistence and patience give us ample assurance that Al ' s future is indeed a bright one, and in the fulness of this assurance we rejoice.

Were you to stroll out to Uni- ver sity Heights some afternoon and ask for Mr. Brennan, you ' ould most certainly be told that he was up in the Stylus room. There on the door you would find a card which read This is my busy day keep out ! But did you but offer to pay a back subscription, ■ Jerry would smile upon you H from his throne of ledgers and checks, and would invite you to H a chair and a cigar — perhaps, and would then proceed to talk m business. To Jerry the present excellent financial condition of B the Stylus is due. Possessing, as he does, the merited praise of H classmates and professors alike, his opinion has no little strength, B and by reason of it, he has created many arguments as to superior B advantages of a busines career over professional life, in which J Jerry is a firm behever. Faithful and energetic in his work at H college, he is bound to succeed in the world of business. m Paul Henry Bruning, 17 Ruthven St., Roxbury Class Day Com. (4) Sodality (1. 2. 3. 4) IXOUS (1, 2. 3. 4) On this page you behold the comely features of one Paul H. Bruning of Roxbury, and a pop- ular member of the class of 1916. Paul has, during the last four years, modestly kept himself in the back- ground. In other words, Paul is one of the quiet members of whom the class boasts. Let me assure you, that we really have a few of this rare species. However, Paul ' s complacent smile and his wonderfully cheerful nature have se- cured for him the friendship and regard of his classmates. Those who know him well, will tell you that he possesses a sense of humor and a wit that in its depth and pleasantry is unique. We are confident that Paul will succeed m his chosen profession and that his career therein will bring added glory to Alma Mater Quiet and unassuming, With a character very strong, Paul ' s friendship ' s worth while having; It ' s as good as the day is long. and his class. ■ Milo Patrick Burke, Beauty, grace and lateness Have given Milo fame. Lazy? you may ask me. No, Pep ' s his middle name. 33 Hillcrest Av., Montello Sodality (1. 2. 3. 4) St. Vincent de Paul (4) IXOUS (1, 2, 3, 4) E To those who have not had the honor of belonging to this ilhis- trious class, it may come as a sur- prise to learn that we have had Milo in our midst for four years. Be not alarmed. It is not Venus de Milo; just Milo from Brockton, whose masculine beauty rivals that of Apollo, we are told. Milo is noted for two things, his music and his unbroken list of late arrivals. Brockton ' s citizens tell us that his music is wonderful, and surely they are all honorable men. The fact that Milo is wanting in punctuality may be attributed to two things. In the first place he has ever sought to be individual and in this he has certainly been successful. Second- ly, he comes in to school on the New York New Haven and Hartford. Underneath a non-chalant appearance, however, there is that depth of character that will find the measure of true worth in success. A bit of a wit, With a talent tliat ' s grand; If you ' ve seen him act, You must understand.

To those who have been privileged to sit near his throne, the most serious and gloomy hours have been a reign of joy.

(3) Treasurer of Athletic Association (4) At the first roll-call in Freshman, the class sat up and took notice when it heard the name Edward Coffey. We were immediately prejudiced in his favor, for we are all fond of that stimulating bev- erage. To be sure we like hot coffee better than cold coffee, a fact which Ed knew; ever since, H he has been bubbling over to such a degree that we have continued ■ to sit up and take notice. The idol of Salem, be it known, has a H penchant for politics which he has demonstrated to the electorate H of that old Colonial town, and we all recognize in his brilliant smile, his diplomatic hand-shake and his fervid oratory, which has ■ often been demonstrated in class meetings. Ed has always in- E sisted upon strict adherence to parliamentary procedure. A thor- g ough student, a proven athlete and a possessor of a fine disposition, g Ed is certainly marked for success. A lover of order, Refreshing and sweet; A pol of the first rank. Both wise and discreet. m James Peter Collins, 22 Eleanor St., Chelsea Vice-President St. Vincent de Paul I XOUS (1, 2, 3, 4) Sodality (1, 2, 3. 4) , , Here is one of the most thought- ful members of the class. This is the writer ' s opinion, gathered from a scrutiny of his activity for four years. Jimmie is always men- tioned by his class-mates with a respect which, upon the pleasure of intimacy, ripens into admira- tion. His college life has been, to be sure, rather uneventful; indeed, from his college career, one might conclude that he is of a retiring disposition. He is however, far from diffident. He has devoted himself assiduously to his studies, has read the comitless books suggested by the professor and has received an English style much to be envied. In a short while Jimmie shall leave us, to regale the citizens of the garden city of the Common- wealth with some small portion of the wisdom which he has gleaned in four years, and we are confident that, in the years to come, B. C will boast of Jimmie as one of her sons illustrious. Pensive and unruffled, Jimmie goes about his work; Give him some hard position And you know he ' ll never shirk. Edward Aloysius Corrigan, 121 Bellvale St., Maiden Sodality (1. 2. 3. 4) St. Vincent de Paul (4) Track (2) IXOUS (1,2, .3, 4) A lover of Linden, A right loyal son, He trots back to Linden, As soon as he ' s done. It is uncommon experience to meet an individual whom men catalogue as possessing but or- dinary ability and talent. And often the same individual, upon closer examination, rises higher and higher in your estimation, and you then realize the injustice of first impressions. Such an individ- ual is our friend, Ed. He is one of the few among us who do not believe in cramming , and this because he never needs to. A perpetual advocate of consistent daily work, Ed when the holidays come, lays aside his books and enjoys himself. Some of OLir unsophisticated members have called him Hank because he comes from that place called Linden. The aforesaid facetious youth have twitted him about the cows and roosters and the boys back hvim ; but Hank — pardon me, Ed observes that they either have never explored Linden or they don ' t know a good thing when they see it. Whatever Linden be, however, we will agree that if she is not on the map at present, Ed will put her on.

(2) It is the unusual man who dis- tinguishes himself in Freshman. Leo did. It seems Leo had the temerity to appear as a candidate for the football team. His success.? Lie was captain of the team in the following year. Leo could lead, but he also could follow, and for the next two years he offered his size and his brains to better the team, and thereby add to the laurels of Old B. C. Not in athletics alone did Leo shine, but in class he was among the best. He was then chosen to manage the track team, and in spite of difficulties and conditions most discouraging he has given us a team that is both a credit to himself and to the college. The patience and the persistence which he has shown will surely find their reward in a successful career. The patience of a Daniel, A lion ' s power, too, Can not be passed unnoticed; Success is Leo ' s due. 28 Ill George Clark Daley, 12 Concord Square, Boston Sodality (1. 2, 3. 4) IXOUS (1, 2, 3, 4) Class Baseball (1.2) = Yes, this is George, the champion ivory-tickler of the college. In June he will receive with the rest of us the degree A. B. This will be his second, for long ago he was awarded the degree M. P. which, interpreted means master pianist. Given George seated at the piano, there follows a crowd of admirers to listen to some real music. In addition to bearing with dignity and honor the above mentioned degree, George has been noted for his cravats. He seems to have been a genius for wearing neckties in perfect contrast with the weather and the matter being treated in class. However, if a good nature and a generous spirit are assets of a great value in life, George is certain to be a winner, for therewith is he most eminently blessed. Here ' s a boy whose manner ' s as sweet As the melodies he plays. He never could meet with failure we know, For you ' d have to like his ways. 29 Edwin Aloysius Daly 468 Massachusetts Ave., Boston Marquette (2) Class President (2) Fulton (3. 4) Stylus (3, 4) Student Athletic Council (2) Editor-in-chief Stylus (4) Shakesperian Dramatics (2. 3, 4) Fulton Executive Com. (4) Passion Play (4) Class Baseball (2) Class Historian (4) When Ed stepped into the room, way back in Freshman, there was a noticeable rehef, for had this blushing, smihng, talk- ative youth failed to appear, the class would indeed have been in- complete. So favorable an impres- sion did Ed create upon his class- mates, that he was later elected to the presidency of Sophomore, and of his administration the class is proud. At this time, however, he decided to turn his ability in another direction, and there flowed from his pen such excellent articles, that his choice as editor of the Stylus was indeed merited, and his later work has proved it to have been a happy one. It might be gathered from what has been said that Ed is painfully thoughtful. Not so. Ed has never taken any situation with more seriousness than was absolutely demanded, and Ed be it remembered, is some society hit . Now, dear reader, don ' t these quahties mark him for success? I leave it to you. ' ou have missed a little treasure, If you ' ve missed the words he penned But tho ' he ' s good at writing, He ' s better as a friend. William Joseph Daly, 225 Parsons St., Brighton Yes, prize after prize, Has been his every year; Of ' William ' s ' success. None that knows him could fear. Promotor Sodality (4) Premium Political Economy (3) Medal Classics (2) Medal Classics (1) Philosophy Medal {3) Marquette (1, 2) Premium Evidences (2) Premium History (1) Bill , as he is popularly known, is a product of Brighton which sends many of her distinguished sons to this college. And a wel- come addition is Bill . He ab- solutely refuses to be taken by surprise on any philosophical point. Many keen minds have at- tempted to do so without success. None of us remembers to have seen Bill fail in a study. He is also a speaker of no mean ability. We all remember his entertaining speeches in the Marquette Debating Society. With his versatility he has been able to talk intelligently upon any subject that might be brought up for discussion. With that energy and ability that has characterized his efforts in the past, with that happy disposition that he has always possessed, Bill must inevitably be successful in any work which he may choose to undertake. J ames Louis Davey, 28 Bon St., Salem, Mass. Sodality (1. 2. 3, 4) 1 XOUS (1. 2. 3, 4) St. Vincent de Paul (4) The delegation from Salem is a jovial group, and Jirii is their droll spokesman. Now Ji is an excellent student and a mathe- matician of no mean calibre, yet in the midst of the most serious lecture he can find time for some pleasant laugh-provoking remark, after which he will return to his work. His gift of humor is won- derful and the many pleasant ar- guments which he has started in S the delegation from the Witch City have been a source of joy H which we shall long remember. As a student he has brought us P: honor; as a classmate he has given us no little entertainment; as a M friend he has given us reason to rejoice and to wish him in his B future undertakings a long life in which to enjoy great success. To smile and never Harbor care, Has been his proverb. He ' s there . 32 William Jeremiah Deacy, 51 Fern St., Lawrence IXOUS (1, 2, 3. 4) Class Secretary (3) Fulton (3, 4) Fulton Standing Com.

By his diplomacy and clever manage- ment the class has gained its great- est laurels during the past year. But Bill did not jump into the limelight suddenly; from the very day he entered college he put forth the very best that was in him to make our class the greatest boast of Alma Mater. We all remember how Bill gave us the benefit of his keen intellect, of his strong character, and of his noble ideals during the four years that he has spent in our midst. With a genial disposition that the most difficult task could not eradicate, with an astute mind, and a wholesome humor, Bill ' s presence among us has been one which we shall not soon forget; and we wish, that in his every future endeavor he may meet with the same success that has been his during his college course. With a smile that never ' anished, Every college task he ' d scan ; But the thing we most remember Is the fact that he ' s a man. ai Leander Thomas DeCelles, 46 Ware St., Somerville St. Vincent de Paul (4) Stylus(2. .?, 4) About three weeks after we had assembled as Freshmen, this jovial youth appeared, somewhat late, it is true, but for that reason all the more welcome. The class would indeed have been incom- plete without him. Leander is very well kno N ' n to the readers of the Stylus to whose pages he has been a constant contributor during his entire course. An omnivorous reader, he is part- icularly well- versed in Greek mythology, with which knowledge he has often astounded us. His inexhaustible supply of wit has prevented any class becoming at all dry or monotonous. With a pleasant mixture of humor and seriousness, Leander has won a place in our hearts, and we . shall not soon forget the happy hours we have spent in his company. We presume to prognosticate that this facetiously fascinating fellow will devote himself to literary pursuits, and we will watch his progress in this field closely and confidently. A poet with a brilliant wit, A humorist of fame, And ah to versatility, Why that ' s his middle name.

(4) Passion Play (i Tennis Team (3 Gentle reader, you are privileg- ed to view on this page the feat- ures of Charles DeLorme, better known as Charley . Charley , it is true, is not a native of the College ' if I may so use the word; he was formerly loyal to Holy Cross. But B. C, called and Charley deserted his first love and answer- ed her call. Thus it came about that in our Junior year we rejoiced in the reception of a new member, and we have been rejoicing ever since, for Charley has made good , not alone in his class work and dramatics, but also in friendship. He has been tested and has not been found wanting in the qualifications for manhood and fellowship. May success attend him in his future activities, in which he will find his class- mates greatly interested; and in the years to come we shall expect from him additional honor to the now numerous glories of our class and our college. A chemist of note, An actor of plays, Success that is great. Shall crown all his days. ■I Henry Leo Doherty, 27 Montvale Ave., Stoneham Sweet songs we have heard, From Stoneham ' s fair son.

St. Vincent de Paul {4) There is a common persuasion that the hfe of a student makes a man grow thin, and there are even those who beheve that earnest- ness of purpose is revealed by sobriety of expression. We can, however, find no better example than our friend from Stoneham to show that these opinions cer- tainly permit of exception. This big, handsome fellow is as happy as the day is long and his merry laugh is a delight to every one of us. But his music ! For four years he has blended his voice with the harmonies of our splendid Glee Club, and we have de- rived no small amount of pleasure from his sweet solos. Harry is not only musical, but he is also a splendid student, and an actor of no mean talent. His, is a disposition that glories in accom- plishment, and is satisfied to have others glean the praise for his achievements. Never to boast Of his deeds, was his motto; Will one of his type Be successful? He ought to. Patrick Joseph Donovan, 1 1 Leon St., Roxbury Sodality (1, 2, 3. 4) St. Vincent de Paul (4) IXOUS (1, 2. 3.4) Pat — for thus we have known him — came to the College with the avowed intention of studying and he has certainly lived up to his intention. He is one of those chaps who do a great deal, but never speak of what they do. True, our class may, with sincer- ity and truth, boast of many very conscientious and studious mem- bers, but none of them are more thorough or consistent than Pat . Like many other members, Pat hails from Roxbury; not that we hold this against them, for that is not their fault, but we cite it only in congratulation of this district. Pat has been, at all times, a cheerful companion, and when he leaves us for his chosen career, we are confident that he will make a name for himself. A very happy feilow, Is Steve , as all admit; His quiet, thoughtful manner, Is sure to make a hit . William Stephen Downey, 408 Orchard St., New Bedford Sodality (1, 2, 3. 4) St. Vincent de Paul (4) IXOUS (1. 2, 3,4) Though it isn ' t commonly known, in justice to the prestige of a less than modest village, Steve comes from New Bedford. That is he, fours ago, came from this whale of a town, and he has since returned there only at rare intervals, and then, only to show the natives how improved he was by his stay in the big City, and to replenish his supply of clean collars and kale . Steve has been content to leave the talking and bossing to others. The honors that are his were unsought and but incidental to his doing well what he had entered upon. And so is he marked by his honorable mentions as well able to carry through whatever he may elect. What better could be said ? Nothing; and so, in the years to come we shall surely find him honored and respected by the world, as he now is by his classmates. 38 Hugh Leo Doyle, 3 Green St., Newburyport Maiquette (2) Sociality (I, 2, 3. 4) Secretary.-Treasurer of Class (2) Fulton (3, 4) Fulton Prize Debate (3) FiiltDn Intercollegiate Team (3) President Fulton (4) Don ' t flatter yourself that you know this illustrious class until you become acquainted with the sage from Newburyport. He is, indeed, a most affable and gra- cious fellow, and one of the best talkers it has been our good fortune to meet. Before the cock crows thrice each morning in that faraway hamlet, this ambitious youth is leaving Newburyport for the city of culture. After we had survived the first six months of our Freshman year, we had a mock trial in which our friend Hugh was accused of riding through the first term on a horse , and although Hugh was found guilty, and in spite of the guilty look he wore, we feel certain that the jury was prejudiced. As he has been a good student, an earnest worker, and a pleasant companion, so too, will he find his future life one of happiness. He was fine at keeping records, As an orator he ' s good. But his calm, sweet disposition, Well — I ' d tell you if I could. m 59 A reticent youth, With a joy-making smile. If you ' re looking for thought, Talk to Frank for a while.

Frank has been a great reader and a better listener. With a taste for pure literature he has spent many hours in the library and he has acquired therefrom an erudition greatly to be envied. When, in a class meeting we strenuously air our grievances, Frank listens with patience and smiling, sifts the evidence, digesting the facts and awaiting the time when he can form his opinion with due reflection. We feel confident that Frank ' s future is certain of being one big bundle of successes. Francis Aloysius Duffey, Silence is golden , The motto dotli read.

It is, indeed, a pleasure to pre- sent to you the illustrious gentle- man whose portrait adorns the upper corner of this page. Frank as born and reared on the shores of Whitman ' s Pond in the eastern part of the ancient town of Wey- mouth. He was graduated from the local high school of the town, and since then has spent a consid- erable part of his time in the halls of Boston College and consid- erably more time en route . During the summer vacations, Frank has presided in the local emporium and has been known to visit the beach . In his modesty, he has refrained from any active participation in many of the college activities but in spite of this he has been a loyal rooter for Alma Mater at all times. In the four years during which he has been among us we have formed a most favorable impression of him, and we feel certain of his future success.

That witty, smiHng, happy star of Boston College, of whom you all have heard so much. If you will but glance above this biography you will receive some idea of how active Jimmy has been since he has been in the college. Some folks have an idea that all athletes are low in their studies; if this be true, then Duff is an exception to the rule. Although he has been such a very big factor in athletics, he has been almost indispensible to the class, for his keen ' it and joy-making laughter have shown us the silver Uning of many a dark hour. By his singular character, and winning way, he has made very many friends who join in wishing him success.

Dunn. Joe , hav- ing been graduated from Wey- mouth High School in 1912, enter- ed the portals of old B. C. in the fall of that year, and has been en- tering B. C ' s portals on time, with but rare exceptions, ever since. His cheerful, quiet ways and his sterling qualities have won for him during the last four years the esteem and friendship of his classmates. He has, however, one fault (?), he is inclined to under-estimate his own ability (a rare faiUng in these days.) We know not what the work is to which Joe will devote himself in the future; but this we do loiow that his chosen work will be well done and his hfe will continue to reflect credit on his college and his class. With a way you ' d have to like, And a smile that makes you guess. In the future years, I ' m sure, He will prove a grand success. 43 Philip Roche Dwyer, 1 Rogers Place, Salem Marquette (1, 2) Sodality (1, 2. 3, 4) When the delegation from Salem arrived we all noticed among them, one tall, smiling, non-chalant individual, and we were at once most favorably im- pressed. It did not take us long to become acquainted. Until he had arrived, our class was want- ing in one element, the weu ' d; and in Phil , we found it most re- markably well supplied. But his voice — whole legions of the great and well-nigh unnumbered dead, would fain rise in recognition of it ! Phil is a master of English, but there is one question he will never ask; How are you feeling } for, be it known he is one of Salem ' s most prominent undertakers. Our associations with him have been most happy and he will be always certain of our lasting friendship. His voice and his build, Are wonderful. Yes, And his manner so kind. Must bring him success. 44 Here is yet another of Brighton ' s sons, who have crossed the border each morning and spent the day with us. Dido — for it is by this name that we have called him — is noted for two things, his size and his non-chalance. As to the first, it has been a source of no small wonder to us that one whose legs were so short could travel so fast, and, believe me, Dido can travel some ! He re- fuses to worry and, the more serious the trouble, the more vehe- mently and sincerely does Dido say I should worry! What the future holds for him in the line of careers, we do not know but we can say that one of his character will never be a failure. His form is unique, His character ' s strong, liut say! If I am a judge He ' ll make him a name, some day. The keenest of wits, And a courage bold, His friendship we ' ve found More precious than gold.

As a pitcher on the varsity baseball team and as a member of the football team, Steve has, since his arrival, served his Alma Mater well and faithfully. But not alone in ath- letics did he shine, for, although he did not appear before the public, yet he was one of big noises in the passion play; in fact, we might say that he was the big noise. How.

He immediately set to work to make a name for him- self, not that he sought glory, but that, possessed as he was of a genuine college spirit, he sought, by lending his assistance and support to every activity, to make the name of Boston College better known. During the Summer he has found his recreation in hard work, and has returned to us every Fall, with newer ideas and nobler ideals and has gone to w ork with the zeal that has characterized his every undertaking.

The fact that he lives in Brighton, makes him one to be envied, not that we love Brighton more, but that we love the journey, which the majority of us make each morning, less. Doc , however, has but a few minutes ' walk to and from the College. Thus he is given more time to spend in the performance of his social duties. O yes, Doc is a busy man socially. As we have known him in the past four years, he is a keen, humorous and big-hearted companion and he ' s built for success. 49 James Aloysius Friel, With a stove-pipe hat, A cigar and cane, they say.

Leo has done this for four years. He has been par- ticularly noted for his blush. This same blush may mean his down- fall, for there is one sex that simply adores a blushing boy. In the time which he has spent with us, Leo has proved himself to be of a most amiable disposi- tion, strong of character and a friend worth while having.

Yes, Jack is one of those little youngsters in knee breeches who entered Boston College High School eight years ago. And he has indeed spent those years well, for we know of no deeper student than John. His forte is history.

So if you wish to B find out anything in the historical Une, just consult John, and we g assure you that you will receive the information that you seek, g But do not think for a moment that he has confined his deep g studies to history. He is a true scholar, but it was in history that g his star scintillated with particular brilliancy. His knowledge of g the classics is very extensive, and his speculations in philosophy m have been surpassed by none.

' Pat , as we, his friends, are privileged to call him, is one of the quiet, unobtrusive chaps of the class. Not that Pat is not cheerful — for he is, — but he has never appeared to be looking for trouble, as some of his classmates whom we might mention are apt to be. Nevertheless, during the four years of work and play that Pat has been one of us, we have come to know him as a worthy member of the Class, a man with the qualities that make for success, and we join in wishing him the best of good luck and a long and useful life.

That Denny is also there in his studies, his marks give ample proof. While should you, gentle reader, doubt as to his place in the hearts of his classmates, just ask the next one you chance to meet. Like all good men, Denny has a hobby, travel. He is a cheerful, quiet but hard worker and we can see but one thing ahead for him, success. We are glad to have known him, and we shall expect from him, in the years to come, newer laurels to add to the many our class already possesses.

In every branch of College activity, George has had a hand; every day found him busily engaged in some- thing that would bring glory to our class; every task assigned to him — and there were many— was not merely done, but carefully done. Fearless in his denunciations of what he thought was wrong or inadvisable, most energetic in the support of everything we ever undertook, ever sincere but ever diplomatic he holds not only the respect but the firm friendship of faculty and class, and in his future career he has our best wishes for and our confidence in his singular success.

He has ever proved himself a loyal, energetic and unselfish classmate. His work in the chem- istry laboratories and in the biological laboratory is evidence enough of his worth as a student. It may have seemed that at times his noble work for Alma Mater was not sufficiently clearly recognized, but this is not the case and he shall receive his merited reward in success. 60 Joseph James Hurley, Here ' s a wit, And a student, too; For such a one.

Many a dark hour has been turned into one that, for the pleasure it afforded us, will long be remembered by his mastery of the art of repartee. Like Ramsay Wright, he is a man who insists upon system and that system has characterized his every undertaking. An orator of wonderful ability, he has given us very able representation on the platform, and as a student he has astounded us by his in tellectual brilliance. We are proud that he has been with us, and he takes with him when we part the best wishes of his class. Francis Patrick Keefe, Who is this fellow? The fair ones demand, When they see Jas. ' picture.

Jas , as most of us know him, is an earnest advocate of all that is worthy in social hfe and it is to him that we owe a great deal of our social prestige. But he has not given his entire attention to this side of college life, for Jas , be it known, is a thinker, and as such, saw the necessity of developing his intellectual powers, with the natural result that he is one of our best. A man of rare intellectual ability, with his every faculty fully and harmoniously developed, there ' s a place at the top waiting for him, and Jas will fill it to perfection. ■i llliiiiill George Edmund Kehoe, He helps, And boasts not of his aid; Success Belongs to men thus made. 52 Dix St., Dorchester IXOUS {1, 2. 3.4) Sodality (1, 2. 3. 4) St. Vincent de Paul (4) George is one of those modest fellows, who prefer to stay in the back-ground and give their sup- port to every undertaking and say nothing. In the four years during which he has been with us, George has spoken but very little, yet we all know him to be deeply interested in anything and every- thing that makes for the glory and good of B. C. He prefers to sit and listen to the arguments for and against the thing under discussion, and after weighing the arguments he will act and in his action he shows that tenacity, indicative and characteristic of the man of strong will. We have found him to be a hard worker, a modest and quiet com- panion, and a man with a serious outlook upon life, and surely, these qualities do not lead to failure.

Maiden will certainly be famous for having been the native city of one of the singular mem- bers of this, our singular class. Jim has at all times been a lover of reading, but a book, to be of interest to him, must be one con- taining thought, for Jim has always been a thinker. A merely casual glance at his record would be sufficient to dispel any question that might possibly arise as to his intellectual ability. He was, however, not satisfied to read and think and to keep to himself the treasures derived therefrom, and has consequently given us able representation in literary circles. His contributions to the Stylus have received no little favorable comment. In his past record we rejoice, and, as to his future, we can only wish him even greater success than has characterized his past endeavors. 64 Harry Francis Kiley, 12 Tremont St., Charlestown Varsity Football (1. 2. 3, 4) Varsity Baseball (1) Class Vice-President (2) Captain Football (3 ' Fulton (3, 4) ■ President of Student Athletic Assoc.

Harry came to us from the Latin School four years ago, with a reputation that might rightly be envied. He immediately imbibed the spirit of Old B. C. and gave no little assist- ance to the football team. So well did he account for himself, that in his Junior year he was elected to the captaincy of the team. His untiring efforts as president of the Athletic Association have merited the just praise and gratitude of students and Alumni alike, and we here take this opportunity to thank him. His great success during his entire course is, we feel sure, but indicative of greater successes in the future.

Jimmy is a product of Newton, his smihng open hearted manner, and his qualities of heart and mind, have won for him the respect and friendship of his classmates. It is their sincere wish and trust that success in the best sense of the word will crown his future, and they will indeed be surprised and disappointed if he does not make a name for himself among men that will give us just cause to boast of him as a classmate.

In his Freshman year, he was one of the most interesting characters in the play, for his continual appearance and disappear- ance, always with a different garb, was a source of no little won- der to the audience.

An athlete of some note, he has developed within a sound body, a mind that is capable of wonderful things. In every activity he has made sacrifice of time and labor for the sake of the class, and to him may much of our success be attributed. His excellent work for this book deserves the highest praise.

Having heard of ' hat a wonderful place this Boston College was, and desirous of receiving his degree therefrom, our friend Roger paid us a visit and was so satisfied with it, that he not only decided to remain as a member of the class, but he also took up his abode close beside the College. Roger says but httle but when he speaks it is always directly to the point. In our association with him we have found him to be careful, shrewd, and a diplomat of no mean cahbre.

Like many other great men he is small in stature, but when it comes to action — oh my! No task is too great for him. As for style he is, in his own small way, a veritable Beau Brummel. Another nice thing about him is his voice, which has been of no httle help in making the Glee Club one of which we can rightly be proud. But the nicest thing about him is his way. In class, and out of class, in fair weather and in foul, he always wears a smile, which, during four years, has never lost its freshness.

Almost any morning, you can find him walking to the College clinging tenderly to Bill ' s arm, and refusing to be separated from him. To be sure, we do not condemn him for this; rather, we admire him for it.

Jack has from the very beginning kept in the foreground in our social life. We can ' t have too many dances to suit him; and the few that we have had gave him an opportunity to shine, which opportunity he has always accepted with great joy.

In the first place he is the most travelled member in the class, having toured the country and Europe with great care. In the second place, he was the first to introduce the tortoise rimmed glasses to the College, and lastly he has always been the intercessor for the class with Father Fortier. Under the careful tutelage of that close corporation, Reynolds and Roche, Tom has become quite an orator this year, and his speeches will long be remembered by the class. They were brief but always to the point. Tom ' s future course is unknown to us, but whatever it be, the Class joins in wishing him succass, for we feel that whatever he undertakes will be well done.

There are two things that can be remarked about him, his smile and his speech. The first is most winning, most captivating, and we feel that none could escape its force, that even the hardest and coldest heart would melt under its benign influence. The other remarkable thing about him is, I have said, his speech. If there is one thing that he can do to perfection, it is to talk. The I..ord has blessed him with a fine voice, and he himself has developed a fine manner, and with these quaUties, Mike has developed into a first-class salesman.

He has at all times been a good student, but he has been a much bet- ter companion ; and because of his dignified manner and good sportsmanship, and true, honest friendship, we feel that we have been honored by his presence.

Had he been missing from our ranks, the class would have been somewhat wanting in completeness; however, we have had him among us, and consequently we are complete.

Joe is himself a bus- iness man, and has brought into o u r every activity the system which has played no small part in making them successful. He has at all times been a good student. So thorough has he been in his H work, that he has thrice been ap- H pointed to act as chairman of the committees which have given m us such enjoyable times at our class outings, the success of which H has been, in no small measure due to him. With a natural love m of all that is artistic, and with his remarkable ability as a cartoon- m ist, he has been of no small assistance to the editorial staffs of all H four editions of the Sub Turri. We hope for even greater things M from him in the future. A business man, With a business man ' s way. With his system and grit He will lead men some day. 101 CLASSMATES When the crimson-Hveried heralds of day, Ope the Eastern portals wide, And the lord of light in maroon array. Seems to smile and heavenward ride; When we go to out tasks in the world of men, With a courage unshaken and bold, Will we ever think of these moments then. Of these friendships, in value, untold? In the heat or chill of our every day, In the unheeding crowds, or alone, When we know the world, when we know its way, When years, one by one, shall have flown; Will we ever pause in our work or our prayer. And harken to Friendship ' s sweet call, To relive in our thoughts every hour so rare, With a world-ripened love for them all? When the red, warm heart of the day that was strong. Seems to throb in the West, and dies; And some lonely thrush, with its trilling song. Wings its homeward way thro ' the skies. When our daily tasks are ended at last. And come thoughts like the sweet breath of flowers. Will we think of the Mother who lighted the past, Of the kindly friends that are ours? Well, at last comes the time when we have to part. For the time slackens not in its speed; We stand at the crossroads with sorrowful heart. And our thoughts, only true friends can read. We leave Alma Mater now, grieving behind; In the years will we think of her still. As the one who gave us these memories kind. And come back to her, some day? We will! JOSEPH A.

Mr. Hurley has some bits of wisdom. If I called you this morning, I thought of you last night. There ' s no use in talking; you men must study. Who ' s to repeat? Aw shut up, Smith.

Study it! 0! if I only knew the names of some of these fellows. THE CLASS ' MEMBERS Doyle ' s treasurer ' s report — Ever) ' thing came out even. Ramsay Wright. The rapidity with which those chemistry experiments were done. Our class meetings. Joe McOwen ' s class day reports. Mulcahy, O ' Shaughessey, Muldoon, etc. That man is a rational animal. Prof. — Man might have called the lion by the name, dog. Carney — Yes, but that would have been lyin ' . How would you prove that polygamy is wrong, Mr. Rowen? Harold : — From experience. Mr. Fitzgerald, the electic chair is only a means to an end. Mr. Fitzgerald — Yes, but it is also an end. Prof. — This man was sane on every point, except that every half-hour he saw a flock of geese going through the room, and he ' d duck. BITS OF WISDOM If you want to see what God thinks of riches, look at those to whom He gave them. Is this question constructive or destructive i Don ' t think on Commencement Day that because you have a diploma, you know something. The commonplace things of common sense are not commonly sensed today. With a most sincere gratitude, we herein take the opportunity to thank all who have, by their advice, encouragement and assistance, made this work possible. In a particular manner we wish to express our appreciation to Fathers Lyons, Jessup, Fitzpatrick and to Mr. Corliss of the Faculty, and to Messrs. Macdonald Evans, for their kind assistance.
