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.

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.

(4) Varsity Football (1, 2, 3. 4) Captain Varsity Football (2) Student Council (2. 3, 4) Class Treasurer (3) Manager Track (4) Fulton Prize Debate Com. (4) Sophomore Banquet Com. (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
