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

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,
