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.

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

Jeremiah Francis Brennan, 58 Dustin St., Brighton Fulton (3, 4) Fulton Literary Com. (2) Chairman Literary Com. (4) Asst.-Bus. Mgr. Stylus (3) Bus.-Mgr. Stylus (4) Class Day Com. (3) If you ever have a paper, That doesn ' t seemto pay, Get Jerry ; he ' ll improve it. Note the Stylus of to-day. 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.
