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 Coffey, 833 Union St., Salem Marquette (1. 2) Class Football (2) Treasurer (2) Chairman Cap and Gown Com. (4) Fulton (2, 3) Chairman Outing Com. (2) Chairman Inter-Collegiate Com. (-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

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.
