(-t) Class Outing Com. (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.
