ARCHBISHOP OF BOSTON MOST LOYAL SON OF CHURCH AND STATE AND MOST DISTINGUISHED ALUMNUS OF BOSTON COLLEGE The Avork is accomplished; our task is done. Thus far ve have made our journey in common, but noAV that point is reached where eacli must make his Avay alone ; and while we are read_7 to step forward to the tasks which the Maker has assigned us in life, it is but fitting that ere our paths diverge, we should record in some permanent form the events that have occurred to make these — our college days — the brightest of our lives. This volume is the result of an effort to make such a chronicle, and, in offering it to their class-mates and friends, the editors wish it to be judged, not for its literary merit nor for any originality it may possess, but solely foi ' its fitness in serving the end for which it was produced. They have endeavored to make a judicious selection from the countless incidents that have made our college clays so pleasant, and to record only those which, in their judgment, were deemed most worthy of remembrance. We trust that when the years have somewhat dimmed the light of memory, Sub Turri will be a means of recalling to our minds pleasing anecdotes, stirring moments, and happy class- mates, and will vividly flash before our eyes the glorious achieve- ments of our athletic teams, the triumphs of our debaters, and the good-fellowship fostered by our student organizations during our brief stay under Alma Mater ' s watchful care. The work has been one of love for Alma Mater and of loyalty to the class of 1920, and the editors sincerely hope that it will reflect credit on the one and be a source of joy to the other.

CO s H l 1 e FF %i m FKESM TVaBRAMLey ' 5o The class of 1920, nearly 300 strong, the largest entering class in Boston College ' s history, was assembled in the middle of September, and after the few days required to assign its members to divisions, settled down to collegiate life. Under the guidance and leadership of the Reverend Fathers McGarvey, Murphy, O ' Brien, and Messrs. Beglan, O ' Connell and Dougherty, we imbibed copious draughts of Greek, English and Latin. Mr. McNally paid frequent visits to elevate us in the science of Mathematics, while Father DeButler and Mr. Luis Zabaleta, A. B.. attempted to instill our lives with invigorating elements of French and Spanish. Thus we were divided, but our desire for eon;;ord, gradually evolving into a class spirit of sterling qualitj ' , soon asserted itself and indeed we have often attributed to such pent-up ardor the reason for the glorious reunions in the class of Historv presided over by Mr. Daniel F. Creeden, S. J. Immediately seeking a leader, our choice resulted in the placing of Charlie Tierney in the van, tlanked by Joe White as vice president and Tom McNamara as treasurer. We were then ready for activity and Ave soon learned that all preparations had been wisely made because our initial j-ear proved to be a series of extraordinary and remarkable events. With the first mention of Charlie Brickley as football coach great interest was manifested, and the matriculation of such renowned stars as Tierney, Con O ' Brien, Trowbridge, White, Lyons, Urban, Seanlan and our incomparable Fitzie warranted the assurance that we were destined for a marvelous revival on the gridiron. A rigorous schedule provided strenuous toil for the team ; progress was steady and each opponent retired with defeat or gloried in a hard-earned victory. However, all was but a stitS training in preparation for the contest with the fiercest adversary on our list and every ounce of strength was redoubled and exerted in an effort to humble the spirit of Holy Cross. That conflict, on November thirtieth, was one never to be 19 20 SUB TURK I 192 erased from the annals of ovir institution; when Smacker Lowney rushed past the Purple and White ' s goal line for the first B. C. touchdown in seventeen years. But the spirit of the Worcester College was firm; her team fought courageously, bringing the score up to 14 all, ' at which it remained until the fourth period was well under way, when Jim Fitzpatrick, thinking it proper to introduce himself, dropped the pigskin from the thirty-six yard line, thereby terminating Holy Cross ' list of victories and placing us on a path of glory from which we have yet to be diverted. With such an example of determination inspiring us, a spirit of confiden ce backed our every act and was plainly evident in our repulsion of the haughty Sophomores, who unsuccessfully tried to capture our banner and to check the progress of our memorable Social. That happy evening was brought to a close when we all hit the trail at the exhortation of Billy Sunday, alias Joe White. We noAv realized that Boston College was coming, but the advance was not confined to sports alone and the dail.y progress in the construction of the second monument on the Heights soon culminated in the completion of St. Mary ' s Hall. With the coming of the New Year the building; was ready for occupancy, and on January fifth the community transferred their books and personal effects from James Street to take up their residence in the new home. On the folloAving morning the Rector, Very Reverend Charles W. Lyons, S. J., celebrated the first Mass, attended by the entire body of priests, scholastics and brothers, thus quietly yet gloriously dedicating another step in Catholic education and training. The approach of Lent bore us the glad tidings that the Passion Play of Santa Barbara was to be presented again, the reception accorded it during the previous season having demanded its repetition. At each of its twelve per- formances the public Avas given opportunity to witness a play, every act and scene of which tended to stimulate the pious spirit of the Holy Season. The annual Retreat was conducted in St. Valentine ' s Chapel by the Rev- erend Father Hart, S. J., and the increased assiduity with which books were perused upon our return after the holidays seemed to indicate that many a prayer for light had been answered. The varsity baseball team, under the guidance of Coach Bill Sweeney, enjoyed a prosperous season. Our class was represented by the peerless Billy Bond at shortstop and the hard-hitting pitcher, Eddie Boyce. As one of the final and most brilliant acts of our year, we recollect the part taken by our members in the annual Prize Debate of the Marcjuette Society, The exhibition of each member of the class was a pleasing and praiseworthy one, but our pride rose to its highest peak when it was announced that the award had been made to Dick McShane. With the end in sight, all attention was riveted on repetition, climaxed by the finals. The exams over, we separated for three months until we should convene again as Sophomores. As was anticipated, our reappearance at the Heights revealed a number of chang-es in the faculty. We found that our final repast of Latin and Greek would be served to us by Fathers Keating, Becker, McGarvey, Morgan and Mr. Dougherty, S. J. Only one of our former professors still came into contact ■ ith all of us — Mr. Creedon, who read so well the third volume of Guggeu- berger. Entrance to the chemistry lectiire-room and laboratory was gained, but ai parently with general reluctance ; however, the toilsome work required by Mr. Parsons was easily offset by the blissful and interesting Evidence classes conducted by Reverend Father McCormick. The mechanical value of work and the working value of Mechanics were inculcated by the diligent and earnest endeavors of Mr. Smith. S. J. As a reward for his many accomplishments. Dick McShane was announced as our class president. Bill Dempsey returned victorious in the contest for the Vice-presidency, Tom Scanlon was elected Secretary, while to Tom McNamara was allotted the position of Protector of the Purse. While the condition of the country evolved into a restless state, due to the declaration of war, college and class activities progressed in an uncertain manner. Enlistments g rew more frequent and each new day brought with it the departure of another and a larger group of students. Partly to this can be attributed the release of many of our former football celebrities and thus it was that the season promised to be none too glorious. However, it was then that the value of a thorough, consistent system of coaching was demonstrated, and the squad, using Brickley machine methods, played through a most suc- cessful schedule. Here again our stars shone, and the work of Ring, White, Lyons and Scanlon was steady and noteworthy. The decided defeat of Holy Cross by the score of thirty-four to six and the undeserved victory gained by West Point concluded a brilliant season. Innumerable and heated were the discussions entered into by the members of the Marquette, but calmly and orderly did it advance under Dick McShane ' s leadership during the first term, and under Tom McNamara during the second term. As time went on the hue of battle grew more distinct and the call became clearer. The first appearance of the Somewhere Bureau in the Stylus made known the surprisingly large number which had already gone and with future issues the list grew rapidly. The number of the Senior class diminished and 1920 SUB T U R R I 1920 the steady increase of vacancies throughout all classrooms proved the mettle of those who went forth, some never to return, but all destined to bring honor to themselves and to their school. Under the auspices of the newly-formed. Dramatic club, and directed by Reverend Father Murphy, S. J., the famous Shakesperian comedy, Henry IV, was presented on two successive evenings, and on both occasions merited applause. No small measure of credit was due to Ed. Finnegan, whose inter- pretation of King Henry we recall as an able exhibition of dramatic talent. A glance at the final standing of the class hockey teams shows the laurels safely in our possession. Of all interclass events, this series of games proved to be the most successful. The B. A. A. Games found us again opposing our old rival, Holy Cross, in the relay event, and although a defeat was suffered, it surel.y was an honorable one, as the race was the fastest one of the entire evening. Two well-known members of our faculty were now boasting of their acceptance as Army Chaplains, our vice-president. Rev. Fr. Michael Jessuj), S. J., and Fr. O ' Brien, one of our Freshman Professors. Father Jessup saw service in Camp Lee, Virginia, whereas Father O ' Brien was destined for more active service abroad with the now famous 5th Marines. The time for the consideration and examination of our spiritual welfare arrived, and assisted by the wise counsel of Fr. Christopher Sullivan, S. J., we made a most successful retreat, then went forth to enjoy the Easter holidays. Prohibition was announced as the subject for discussion at the prize debate of the Marquette, and for many weeks we watched the application with wnich the question was studied by Tom McNamara, Joe Smith, Tom Scanlon and Ed Finnegan, members of our class, who were to compete in the contest. As usual, the debate was a close one, and again Sophomore gained fame, when Tom McNamara stepped up to accept the medal and all the glory accorded the worthy winner. The Oratorical Contest found our class well represented in the persons of Dick McShane, Frank DeCelles and Tom McShane. The subject, The New Dark Ages, ' ' prepared and ably delivered by DeCelles, proved to be the best of the evening and won for him the coveted prize, a fifty dollar Liberty Bond. A general canvass of the school netted the sijlendid sum of five hundred dollars, which was presented to the Rector in the form of a Liberty Bond on the last day of our final exams, by the president of Senior, Section E. of Sopho- more, not being satisfied with such an offering, set to work and in a generous spirit added a fifty dollar Bond to the contribution of the college. At the graduation of the depleted ' 18 class, the condition of the times was vividly shown. The uniforms of the Army and Navy came forward to receive their degrees, and many were the absentees who had left their studies to take up the work of defending Uncle Sam ' s cause. The future was most uncertain and the partings of this June were characterized by a somewhat more serious spirit than ever before. SfAitl JtJI liOf JU IIOR 3T«ov.e ' . When the day set for the opening of school arrived, University Heights presented a changed appearance. Thus it was that at the Heights there vpas found, not the former order and curriculum, but in their place, we saw the establishments of a branch of the S. A. T. C, the erection of several barracks and a mess hall, the rapid change into a state of military regime, all charac- teristic of the country ' s new business. An attempt to even ascertain the whereabouts of all of our former associates would have involved a complete circle of the globe. The summer months had brought with them increased patriotic zeal, incapable of restraint, which had sent our mates to the various l3ranches of service. A few men there were who formed the Junior class, men who were declared unable to engage in military service and whose collegiate course was being continued under the direction of Reverend Michael Hill, S. J. In the solitude of St. Mary ' s library, the principles of philosophy were industriously pursued by these dozen or more men while the bustle around the Administra- tion building and the frequent blare of the trumpet marked the rapidity with which some 800 men were transformed into well-ordered and trim companies under the leadership of Col. John S. Parke, U. S. A. (R.). Further progress in the training of our soldiery was checked by the joyful celebration of Armistice Day and the rush of the discharged men to resume their class work swelled the membership of the college to a fairly high degree. Father Hill still retained guidance over his chosen few Avho had recently moved to the Junior A class room and had heralded their transfer by a most commend- able Circle, in which they displayed their knowledge of philosophy in the presence of the Reverend Rector and Dean. All returning students were assigned to Junior B. whose professor was Father McCluskey, aud the capacity of the room, with its galleiw seats, soon was overtaxed, so that it became necessary to offer a generous contribution of students to Junior A. 19 2 SUB T U R R I 1920 With order finally established -we soon settled down for steady work and besides our two professors already named we held our daily classes with these men in the folloAving subjects: Father Treacy, Evidence of Religion and Journalism; Mr. Delaney, Physics, and Mr. Creeden, S. J., Political Economy and War Aims. With the revival of the old spirit, elections were held and to Tom Scanlon went the office of President, Tom McNamara was chosen vice-president and James Robert Brawley was selected as secretary-treasurer. A rather tardy but most impressive formal introduction was soon granted to the Freshmen. At first they seemed disinclined to peacably accept the dis- tinguished introduction, but their violent refusal was quickly met by counter action on the part of their superior classmen and the Juniors ren- dered able assistance in quelling the quasi-objection of the youngsters. With the S. A. T. C. had come the formation of the College Band, and, strange to state, the dissolution of the former seemed to improve the latter. Together with the Glee Club it had presented many concerts in various parts of the State and the climax of its activities was announced in the form of a monster concert, which was held in Jordan Hall on the evenings of February 25th and 26th. It was then that the value of Mr. Parson ' s labors was demon- strated, and we also have to thank Tom Scanlon, Jim Morrissey and Bob Brawley for their successful efforts in making that Musicale a complete hit. Towards the end of February we held our Junior Smoker and presented an evening of entertainment hard to equal. Addresses by our Reverend Rector and Reverend Father Treacy, S. J., set forth some good food for thought, and narrations of war experiences by Lieutenants Jack Fleming and Jack Gillespie, both of the class of ' 15, provided interesting topics. The lighter side was well cared for by talent of our own class, assisted by several professional entertainers. At our annual Retreat wo were most fortunate in having Reverend Father Martin J. Scott,- S. J., as the director, a man whose extensive experience enabled him to supply us with a vivid and interesting series of sermons. Bill O ' Halloran and Tom McNamara of our class were chosen for the Intercollegiate Debating Team. With Billie Bond at short, Eddie Boyce on the pitching staff and Demo Dempsey in the outer-garden, Ave offered a trio of consistent and heady baseball players to coach Beef Gildea ' s splendid team. Dick McShane was still after medals and, sighting a chance to pick another, he entered the Fulton Prize Debate. The result of his work is widely known — suffice it to say that Dick satisfied his desire for other medals. At the Class Day festivities we captured the prize for the best class sketph. The attractive and hilarious manner in which our Prohibition comedy was carried out cannot tolerate description ; its worth and meaning could only be acquired by witnessing it. With the last exam over, the dreaded oral in philosophy, we took our leave, departing with a spirit tinged with the feeling of Senior. With the Ides of September came the return of our class to the Heights, anticipating and prepared for a pleasurable, active year. Numbering 125 men, our assemblage was marked by the initial words of advice expressed b.y Fath er Corrigan, from whom we were to receive our ample share of Ethics each morn- ing in the sp)acious Senior lecture-room. Here also we tarried for our course in Psychology given by Father McCluskey, our interesting sociological discussions introduced by Father Mellyn, and our star gazing sessions under Father Risacher. Pedagogy, Law and Chemistry, taught by Fathers ilellyn, Corrigan and Shaffrey, respectively, were announced as the elective subjects, and later a course in Business Administration, instituted by Father Treacy, attracted the application of many men. Preceeding our arrival, we had learned the sorrowful news of the depart- ure of our former Rector, Very Reverend C. W. Lyons, S. J., but joy of an equal degree welcomed his successor. Father William Devlin, who had been amongst us for several years. Tom Scanlan, President, Jack Lyons, Vice- President, Bob Brawley, Secretary, and John Wardell, Treasurer, took up their tasks as class officers. Our first notable occasion arrived in the form of a reception to His Eminence Cardinal Mercier, the renowned prelate of Belgium. Following the welcoming address, delivered by Dick McShane, the venerable prince of the church arose, and in a few sincere words aroused esteem and respect ror his beloved qualities which had been touched upon by our own Cardinal ' Connell, who also graced the occasion by his presence. Dick McShane presided at the Fulton meetings during the first term, and with the help of Father Cox, a splendid season of debating was prepared. Eli Shamon led the society during the final term. We lack words able to describe the new growth of our football team under Major Cavanaugh ' s supervision. With Senior offering such men as Scanlan, Sheehan, Ring, White, Lyons, Donaher and Earls, a good season could not but be expected, but the achievements of our squad exceeded the hopes of all. The never-to-be-forgotten trip to New Haven and the greatest conflict in the 1920 SUBTURRI 3 9 20 history of the game, tested aud proved the nature of our combiuation. The Holj Cross g ' ame really began at the City Club on the evening preceeding the conflict:. The unrestrained ardor of every Boston College man within a good radius of Boston was given vent at the Senior Smoker. The victory of the next day can be partly attribiited to this greatest reunion of B. C. men ever held. The dramatic element of the college had formed a new association and had chosen Tom McNamara as its leader. Their first play, Helping Father, a three act comedy written by the coach of dramatics, Father Murphy, was staged in December. Ed Finnegan ' s rendition of the leading role and Bill Dempsey ' s interpretation of Newconib ' s character provided a new channel throiigh which praise tlowed to Senior. The Ball planned by the Philomatheia Club was held at the Somerset, folloAving the Christmas recess and the affair proved to be a delightful success. Jack Lyons ' literary skill was called into play as editor-in-chief of the Stylus. The increased interest in journalism brought new members into his field and led to the birth of The Heights, the first B. C. weekly. This snappy paper was a success from the start and later enlarged its issue. Lonnie Ring as editor-in-chief was instrumental in bringing about the suc- cess this paper attained. The necessity of a steady growth of buildings was apparent from, the first appearance of B. C. at the Heights, but the immediate need for a new structure was manifested during this year. The determination to erect the Science building in the near future brought words of encouragement from all and the fund to be soon raised was well started by the donation of our dis- tinguished alumnus, His Eminence Cardinal O ' Connell. Retreat now engaged our attention. Father O ' Brien delivered a Avon- derful series of sermons. Interesting and helpful were his remarks addressed to us for three days in St. Mary ' s chapel and with regret we resumed the study of Philosophy and Astronomy. Our courses was pleasinglj interrupted on several occasions by the visits of the neAvly consecrated Bishop O ' llare, Reverend John A. Ryan, DD., of Catholic University, and Tom Daly, the Avell known poet and Avriter of Phila- delphia. Ed Roddan and Tom McNamara both displayed excellent ability as debaters in the annual Fulto)i Prize Debate, and in the opinion of the judges, the name of Tom McNamara was the next to be inscribed on the walls of the Fulton room. Jim Morrissey again managed to put across the annual musicale in Jordan Hall on the same stupendous scale as in the preceding year. Jim Morrissey again managed to put across the annual musicale in Jordan Hall on the same stupendous scale as in the preceding year. In these few pages we have attempted merely. to give a summary of the outstanding events that have taken place during our stay at Boston College. We have had a most pleasant and profitable course. We have snent four years amidst beautiful surroundings, under the care of a learned, self- sacrificing faculty, and now that the race is won, joy of victory is tinged with a feeling of regret that these happy days are over. 25 1920 g «b ®um g-taff Editor-in-Chief THOMAS F.

For one to be able to smile under all circumstances and at all times is a gift, and Leo has that gift. Like his classmates from South Boston, Ike is possessed of a sanguine temperament, which is easily ascertained by a glance at his carefree countenance during an ethics exam. Leo has often displayed his wisdom and foresight by refraining from any attempt to reach college on stormy days ; instead, he used his time acquiring a rest in the arms of Morpheus, who as we have learned completely enchains the psychic life. From our association with him in the past few years, we have learned the value of a happy, sunny nature as best exemplified by Leo the First. Activities: Sodality (4) ; League of the Sacred Heart (4); Class Football (4); Class Baseball (4); Boston College Club of South Boston. Let us first introduce Leo J. Aicardi, one of the men who joined us from the war class of 1919. He spent the first three years of his college life at Baltimore, Md.. but the love of Boston College fostered in his Prep school days at Boston College High prompted him to return to us to finish his studies. Ike is always on hand at any game in which B. C. athletes take part. He is one of the gnen who followed the team on that never-to-be-forgotten trip to West Point, and is seldom absent from a B. C. athletic or social activity. His diminutive size and re- markable resemblance to a certain well known character has earned him the name of Dicky Dippy . It would be a griev- to mention our WesT POINT BUST — BusTea. 1 9 2 SUB T U R R I 19 2 HAROLD JOSEPH ANDERSON Bom April 27, 1895. Somerville, Mass. Sodality ; League of the Sacred Heart ; President Boston College Club of Somerville, 1917. We are indebted to the class of 1918 for the welcome addition to our ranks of Harold Anderson. In philosophical terms the remote cause of his being- a 1920 man was the Kaiser ' s innate idea that he was born to rule the world ; the proximate cause was the entrance of the United States into the Great War in April 1917. Childe Harold as he is affectionately called by his worthy class-mates and inti- mates, is a lively full-blooded Somervil- lain . We cannot say too much in praise of this fair-haired boy, for he is a glowing example of the doctrine of sunshine ; his very presence dispels gloom and spreads joy ; he is a smile-dispensing optimist. Nor is tJiis the whole of the story. He typifies the Roosevelt- Ideal one hundred per cent. Americanism ; and nothing better illustrates his patriotism than his fine record for long and honorable service over- seas with the A. E. F. There is no blot upon his escutcheon. We saj with sincerity that he has lived np to the traditions of his name and family. We have been able to discover only two faults in Childe Harold ' during our short acquaintance with him. He is aristocratic and by far too critical. He despises the Hoi polloi and he deserts the common people to hobnob with the Royalty. If you find this difficult iQ believe, come out to the Heights any bright starry night and you will find the boy Avonder studying astronomy with one of our regal pro- fessors. He is no doubt trjdng to find some bright star to which he can hitch his wagon, and thus ride to success. 1920 SUB T U B B I 1920 JOHN JOSEPH ARGY r.orn October 8, 1896. Belmont, Mass. Sii.lality (1, 2, 3, 4) ; League of the Sacred Heart (3, 4) ; Class Football (1, 2, 3, 4). Joe Argy, ex sharp-shooter of the Marine Corps hails from Belmont. Joe is not oulj- ail ex sharp-shooter but he is also a member (if the Old Guard . That does not mean Father McCluskey ' s Old Guard although Joe is good in his studies but it means that lie belongs to that crowd of felloAvs who can lie relied upon to drive away the blues. He may not have been born with a golden spoon ill his mouth but he must have been born with a smile in his eye., and which he still retains. There is an old saying tell your troubles to a Marine . This saying is par- ticularly true in the case of this Marine be- cause one smile from Joe, and all troubles are banished. Smiles, however, are only part of Joe ' s wares. He has a serious side also. He believes there are certain times when to smile or to indulge in frivolity is out of place. He thinks for instance, that the first row in the class-room directly under the gaze of the Reverend Professor is a place to put on a strictly studious appearance. In Senior, Joe fairly ate Ethics the first hour every morning, and then drank in Ps.ychology for another hour. The arm,y did not make him that way either, for he was ever thus, as the professor would say. Joe, it is rumored cuts quite a swathe in the annual town meetings of quiet little Belmont and on such occasions his debating ability acquired at the Heights, is strikingly and tellingly mani- fested. We return Joe to the inhabitants of Belmont with all good wishes for a bright future, and knowing that the community will profit by his talents. ■R«B 19 2 SUB T U R R I 192 CHARLES GARDNER BENARD Born December 27, 1899. Lawrence, Mass. Sodality (1, 2, 3, i) ; League of the Sacred Heart (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Glass Football (1, 2) ; Class Baseball (1, 2); Brosnahan Debating Society (1); Glee ' Club (3). Mention the name of Lawrence and you instinetivelj ' think of Kloby and his ardent admirer Bennie. It was hardly necessary for John the Beadle to meander around the classroom to see if this shining light was present ; he made his presence felt by setting forth with oratorical bombast the most con- vincing arguments on the merits of Kloby, the Lawrence Idol. Naturally he discovered that he had mam- opponents to contend with the strongest hailing from South Boston. Not satisfied with mere argument, Bennie proceeded to establish his point by resorting to the argumentum ad baculum, and claims that he was very successful in the displa} ' of his fighting ability. His opponents still have their doubts however. Despite his warlike nature, Bennie is a good student and has attained distinction along chem- ical lines. During the war, this patriotic gentle- man was instilled with the desire to help his coimtry by inventing a new and deadlj ' explosive, but his ambitions were soon thwarted by Signor Boyle who claimed that a College Building Avas no place to test the explosive power of bombs. Bennie is a prominent member of the Boston College Club of Lawrence and has contributed largely to its rapid growth and to the success of every social function.

His fame as a fire fighter, acquired on that memorable daj ' has so spread that it is rumored he has been recently elected chief of the Newton Fire Department. However, we can truthfully say that he is the only fireman we ever heard of that could fall through a ceiling as gracefully as he did, and, in response to Yinnid Snoyl ' s query, Where are you going Bill? come up smiling and repeat the performance. So we could go on but space forbids. Judging from Billy ' s ability as displayed on the ballfield as a leader of men and in the classroom as a stu- dent we predict a successful future in whatever he undertakes.

To tell fully of Dnob ' s prowess on the diamond would require more than the space allowed aud his other various activities would suffer in consequence. With these f ew words — captain of a championship team — we will pass on. During his freshman year, Bill.y joined the Brosnahan Debating Society and this doubt- lessly was the source of his ability to argue v.-hy everj ' one should attend the Roxbury B. C.

It was a happy day for us and for Boston College when Bob Brawlej chose to matric- ulate here after having completed his course at Boston Latin School. Natural ability as a cartoonist soon made Bob popular with his classmates. Gradually his reputation spread and he was sought con- stantly by every club, society and organiza- tion in the college and these can attribute a large measure of the success of their various ventures to his clever work. Praise in no small measure is due him for his efforts in making this book a success. His work at Boston College in this line attracted the attention of the art editors of the Boston papers, and secured for Bob a position on the Boston American Art Staff. Readers of that daily journal have enjoyed immensely his clever Bug ' s Baer Cartoons. However, cartooning is not his only accomplish- ment, for throughout his course he has always stood among the leaders of his class in scholastic affairs, with a fcAv medals to his credit, not to recall honor- able mention in two or three branches each year. Possessing a most pleasant disposition with a smile and word of good cheer for everyone, together with his willingness to lend a helping hand wherever it was needad, has made him a close friend of every member of his class. Whatever field of endeavor Bob enters, without a doubt success will come his way if he displays the same spirit and energy that he did in college. 192 SUB T U R E T 1920 P r l H 1 H J d| B y l KJ Pi H H Jl DANIEL JOSEPH BEEEN Born October 4, 1896. South Boston, Mass. Sodality (1, 2, 3, 4) ; League of the Sacred Heart (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Brosnahan (1) ; Marquette (2). Happy Dan is Boston College ' s first student from North Bellingham. Handi- capped from earliest j outh by the loss of an arm, Dan overcomes difficulties that would crush a less stout heart. Despite his handi- cap, he can give a good account of himself in athletics. At English High School he dis- tinguished himself as a pitcher on the nine and as a miler in the track squad. At the College he played on the different class foot- ball and baseljall teams. His hearty jovial disposition has frequentlj ' taken violent form in the class-room when Dan would jump from his seat uttering some witticism. After school Dan makes the long journey back to North Bellingham down hum on the farm where he is making rapid strides in acquainting himself Avith the duties that attend the life of a farmer. For be it known that Dan was not always a farmer, having lived in the heart of the city until three years ago. In later years when confronted by great obstacles and hardships, if we but recall the undaunted and uncomplaining Dan, we can face those cares with new strength and courage. As for Dan, despite his handicap, we can be sure he will break the tape a win- 1920 SUB TURRI 192 JOHN JOSEPH BRENNAN Born April 21, 1899. Bria ' hton, Mass.

For four years the commuters of the class have envied John Brennan his home in Brighton, which has enabled him to beat the bell with astonishing regularity. The signal for starting class has alwaj ' S been John ' s hastj ' entrance at exactly 9 :29. That par- ticular brand of temperament which our Psj ' chology terms sanguine, John pos- sesses in the fullest degree, a fact which has done much to make merrj- our four years at the Heights. John is a little fellow with a big voice which he has always used to ad- vantage, whether it was to break the depress- ing silence after Taps in S. A. T. C. days, to bellow out a regular Boston in the cheering stand, or to inject a little pep into a sombre class meeting. John is a man of man.y trades. Every recess he can be found at the lunch counter giving food to the hungry, and here let it be said that the class owes a vote of thanks to John for the special service he always gave to Seniors, while under-classmen waited in vain hopes of getting something to eat. John also hands out intellectual nourish- ment over the issue desk at the Boston Pub- lic Library when he is not engaged at one of his other trades. But John ' s chief busi- ness is boosting ; he boosts ever.ything worth boosting and e s p e ci a 1 1 y Boston College, Brighton, and the Knights of Colum- bus. We can safely say that if John keeps up his present pace, and loses none of those admirable traits that have endeared him to us, his name will adorn the pages of Who ' s Who in vears to come. 19 2 ( ) SUB T U R R I 1920 JOHN RICHARD BROUGHTON Born July 20, 1899. Cambrido ' e, Mass. Band (3, 4); Class Hockey (2); Class Baseball (3, 4) ; Class Football (3, 4) ; Orchestra (1, 2). John is best known as tlie tall smiling drummer in the band. He is naturally quiet of disposition except when he has a pair of drum sticks in his hands and then, — well he makes his share of music. It is largel.y due to John ' s rythmic beating on the drums that the college band has achieved its great suc- cess from student army days to the present. Naturally bright, John can be relied upon to give a good account of himself whenever called in class work. He is one of the few of the class to pass through the four years with- out having become acquainted with condition exams. John came to Boston College from Cam- bridge High and Latin School where he achieved academic success as well as making a name for himself in athletics. Recently he took up his habitat in Newton to grow up with the college. In all class foot-ball games John ' s long punts and sweeping end runs won many points for 1920. In interclass baseball games also, his prowess has been shown. John has not confined his musical talents merely to playing but has tried his hand at composing as well. In the 1919 song contest he contributed a piece which ranked with the best. During the summer vacation, besides playing in various orchestras, John used to sell shoes at Filenes and we are told that he fitted the job as well as he did shoes. When John goes forth into the world after graduation, we will miss his pleasant disposition and the college walls will sigh after the echoes of his drums. 19 2 8 U B T U R R I 192 JOSEPH ARTHUR BURKE Born September 27, 1898. Natiek, Mass. League of the Sacred Heart (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Class Foot- ball (2); Class Baseball (3, 4); Orchestra (1); Dauce Committee (4). While we, admit that we had heard of Natiek before we met Joe Burke, still we maintain that it held no personal interest for us until after he was enrolled under the Maroon and Gold standard. From that time on, Natiek has meaut something to us. Under a mask of imperturbability, Joe brought with him a live-wire disposition. Although he had created a great stir in ath- letic circles by his playing on the foot-ball and basket-ball teams at Natiek High School, he was content at first to watch the college teams from the stands and to add his voice to the shouts of the cheering section. During Sophomore, hovv ' ever, he donned the mole- skins and went forth to show Coach Brickley what he had learned at Natiek. His weight, or rather lack of it, kept him from making the varsity team, but in spite of this he was alwaj ' s ready to meet all comers, knowing that the bigger they are the harder they fall. Joe has one weak point which candor compels us to mention. He loves to trip the light fantastic toe and, when the class decided to hold an un- official class dauce, it was but natural that he be called upon to serve on the committee and thus per- mit tlie class to take advantage of his experience. We might add here that he shows rare judgment and excellent taste in picking dancing-partners. For four years he has been a genial friend and an ardent booster for Boston College and it would not be amiss to predict a jDrosperous and pleasant career for him in his chosen path of life. 1920 SUB TUERI 1920 LEO GABRIEL BURKE Born March 23, 1898. Lowell, Mass. Sodality (1, 2, 3, 4) ; League of the Sacred Heart (1, 2, 3, 4); Classics Medal (2); Philosophy Medal (3). From Lowell, the city of mills, shines Leo, the light of all reasoning. At that time in the morning, when the majority of us are still in the arms of Morpheus, this persever- ing young man, is on his way to the Heights. It was but a trifling sacrifice for him to arise from his bed at 5.00 G. M. in order to be at class on time. We hail Leo as our greatest sage. Each day when he returned to Lowell, he carried back with him an abundance of knowledge which he industriously gained in class. Throughout his four year course, he has proved to be the market for enterprising gold medal manufacturers. Winning medals is the easiest thing in the world for him. We know of no man in recent years in Boston College who is taking awaj with him as much of the real worth of his degree as is Leo. Who of us is there but does not recall with pride and pleasure the week during Sophomore days when Leo conducted the chemistr.y lectures when Mr. Parsons was forced through illness to be absent? Throughout Junior and Senior, in the course of philosophy, Leo proved to be an unfailing court of appeal for the solution of the most abstract and metaphj ' sical things in the heavens above, or of the earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth. Steady, conscientious, persevering and industrious in all his studies, he has won for him- self a warm place in the hearts of his professors and fellow classmen. True to his work among us, we know he will be doubly true and faithful in his future lifework and we look with confidence to see the glor.y ol his future achievements reflected in no small degree, on his native town, his classmates, and his Alma Mater. 1920 SUB T IT R R I 192 WALTER JOHN BYRNES Born April 3, 1896. Roxbury, Mass. Sodality (1, 2, 3, 4) ; League of the Sacred Heart (1, 2, 3, 4); Fulton (3, 4); Class Baseball (3, 4); Dorchester B. C. Club. For four years now there has quietly dwelt in our midst this calm and capable youth, Walter Byrnes. No one could ever accuse Walter of any undue boasting of his own accomplishments, and yet we dare say no one who wanted a task done well would pass him by. We will not soon forget those literary treats that Walter used to prepare for us in Sophomore, when speeches were assigned as the weekly themes. Gifted by nature with an accurate and forceful power of express- ing his thoughts, Walter was at his best when the chance was given him to dilate upon the crimes of England. Walter was always an enthusiastic student —naiTao of economic problems, and no doubt it was with a view to furthering his knowledge in this field that he acted upon the sugges- tion of Horace Greeley, and, in company ■with Dick McShane, toured the Middle West, helping to harvest the wheat crop of 1919. Although willing enough to d well upon the adventures he experienced upon that memorable trip, it is significant to note that since then he has never been heard to wax eloquent upon the joys of an agricultural life. In class his manner has as a rule been most sedate, although many times his keen wit has provoked applause, as for instance when he elected to take the course in Jewish pi ' udence, or when he cross- questioned Joe Mulligan upon his attitude towards compulsory military training. We have no hesitancy in predicting that such dependable qualities as he has shown, will surelv bring him to the front. 19 2 SUB T U R E I 1920 ear each day for Newton and for four or five hours played the role of Jumbo the elephant in a Newton lumber yard. Joe Argy is authority for the statement that brawm- Ralph (he tips the scales at 210) frequently could be seen nonchal- antly walking about with a whole tree in one hand whilst he read law notes held in the other. After the lumber had been piled for the evening, he would jump in town to stud.y for his Bar exam- inations and this being finishedj would then tackle Ethics, Psychology etc. This accomplished he was in a position to sing nothing to do until morn- ing, set the alarm clock and retire for the even- ing. Proudly do we number Ralph amongst our members and earnestly will Ave strive to duplicate the determination and tenacity of purpose always evident in whatever he undertakes. These attri- butes insure his prosperous travel through life and assure him of respect and praise from all witli whom he comes in contact. RALPH HUBERT CAOUETTE Born November 11, 1894. Westfield, Mass. Sodality (4) ; League of the Sacred Heart (i). A former student at Wesleyan and the possessor of a degree from the University of Maine Law School, Ralph ' s first appearance in our midst took place during our Junior year. Although his advent was somewhat tardy, still we can safely assert that the class has been more than compensated for his de- laj ' in joining our forces when we now con- sider his achievements. For be it known, dear reader, that Raljih early in January 1920 passed the Massachusetts Bar examina- tions and that, too, most successfully. Yes, the class is proud of him and glories in the honor he has brought to it. Ralph has led a busy life outside of class.

A diligent student of Astronomical facts and principles and especially in their meth- ods of observation is this buoyant young man from South Boston. Yes, George studies the stars both from books and from the screen. If we lived so near Marine Park (the observa- tory) and amongst such fair damsels, per- haps we too would have a good incentive to ascertain all knowledge of the heavenly bodies. Being of a sceptical turn of mind we never believed in those far-famed winter brownies from the peninsula district until we met George. The coldest day in winter will find him taking his daily plunge amongst the floating ice-cakes in Dorchester Bay. During the four years that we have known him. nobody has ever seen George worried or depressed even on the day of a Geology exam or an Ethics quiz. His ready smile and happy disposition lias won for him innumerable friends. George has a surplus of good reasons with which he con- vinces the reijresentatives from South Boston why they should attend an English class and not a ses- sion at the house with the i| 100,000 organ. While attending college, George believes not only in developing his intellect and will, but also in luirsing the financial instinct and luck with which he is endowed. In place of the saying, Let George do it, we usually hear, Let George take it. This young chap has a terrible weakness for neckwear and every week sports the latest design in haberdashery at school. Regardless of what line of business George may enter in future years we hope to hear from him in the financial world, a man amongst men. Good luck, George. 19 2 SUB T U R R I 1920 established his reputation as a fuil-fleclged sage. The speeches he made viewed both from an ethical and logical standpoint amazed even those who were most intimate with him. To be distracted in class annoys this curly- headed fellow more than it does the professor. Keep quiet and steady are some of the many commands issuing from Joe ' s neighborhood. In class it is a common sight to see this representative from South Boston arguing with his fellow class- mate and townsman, Carey, on the value of keeping quiet in class. No matter how oft -repeated the .joke may be it is sure to receive a hearty laugh from Joe, not that he is deprived of any sense of humor, but merely because he delights in hearing their originator ( ? ) perpetrate them on the class. Joe qualifies as a judge in the beauty contests in and around South Boston, due, we suppose, to his developed sense of jsroportion. Joe ' s ambition soars high above that of a drug clerk and we are sure to hear from him later in the world of busi- .ness.

To attend college and at the same time supervise a drug-store is what this serious- looking youth has been doing for the last few years. Joe is a registered pharmacist in South Boston and from all account does a thriving business. A quiet sort of a chap yet at all times cheerful, it didn ' t take long for Joe to establish his popularity in the Fresh- man year. Amongst the members from the peninsula district he is a leader and has always been chosen as an officer in their organization.

Champ is a product of Brockton, and the honored President of the local Boston College club. It was not until our Junior year that he slipped quietly into our ranks and he has remained in them since with equal quietness. We found Champ to be a sociable, easy going and pleasurable chap with a dis- position that bids dull care begone. Ray is of an exceedingly aesthetic temper- ament, loving beauty in any of its forms, but miisic is his proper sphere. He is an artist on the violin and is not unfamiliar with the piano. He denies the rumor that his voice rivals John McCormack ' s, despite reports to the effect that he startles all Brockton every Sunday singing in his parish choir. That he has established an enviable reputation as an entertainer is proved by his frequent appearance at school with his violin tucked under his arm. When questioned as to the reason for the box, one is met with the customary reply, Big time on tonight. Champ belongs to that notorious band of medico-biologists ; that organization of bone-cutters whose members never hit sixty, until they know the index table of the matter. Prom the diligence displayed in his attempts to solve the unknowns of the chemical laboratroy, we can predict a successful career in medicine and we foresee him one day hailed as Raymond J.

It was not until we reached Senior that most of us came to knoAV Jerry persou- ally. Originally a member of the class of 1919. he deserted their ranks in order to spend a year at North Easton, Pa., but upon the exiDiration of this jjeriod returned to the heh lits as one of our members. Once enrolled with us, Jerry made his presence felt in every sphere of class activity. Everj ' class athletic team had him as a mem- ber and varsity football profited by his presence in the squad. Those of us who at- tended the Fulton will always remember him -RpBio as one of the most prominent members. His general ability secured for him the position of associate editor of the SuB-Tur,Ri Staff and to- gether with Frank Glavin worked untiringly and incessantly to bring about its success. As a suc- cessor to Frank on the mimeograph, Jerry lost none of his reputation for care, diligence and hard Avork. The speed and ability with which he despatched all his duties as a member of various Fulton committees was utilized when he was appointed to serve on the Senior Cap and Gown committee. This brief acc ount will show clearly that Jerry ' s year with us has been a decidedly busy one. We need make no predictions regarding the success which will undoubtedly be his. Applying his shoulder to the wheel in the same manner as he did while with us, he will turn it steadily in the direction which leads to the prosperity and happiness we wish him. 19 2 SUB T U R R I 1920 JOHN NORBERT CODY Born January 10, 1894 Arlington, Mass. ically picturing for us the motion of the heavenly bodies and the constitution of this little world of ours.

While he is in class he studies, but when studies are finished and there is a call for candidates for the class teams, or for rooters for the varsity teams, or for support for other college activities he has ever been in the front lines, read.y and willing to do his bit. We are not the only ones who have recognized in him a man worthy of respect and admiration. Rumor has it that, in the town of Arlington where, by the way, John played a prominent part in the welding of a new link in the chain of Boston College Clubs, there is a certain by no means small group of fair ones whose admiration for his marvellous Marcel Wave is not unexpressed.

John Frederick Collins, generallj ' known as Ted, hails from the famous city of Cambridge as his mannerisms plainly show. He first came into prominence at Boston Col- lege High School, where he prepared for his entrance into Boston College and incident- ally became familiar with Caesar, Cicero and Xenophon. In his freshman year Ted cast his lot with the Brosnahan Debating Society. Experience gained here and in his following year in the Marquette laid the foundation for the success and ability he attained in the Fulton Debat- ing Society in his Junior and Senior classes. Ted especially shines in relating his exper- iences and his ability as a story teller far surpasses all his other qualifications. It is not so much what he relates as the manner in which he tells it. Replete with unique expressions, vague endings and lucid interjections, they rival Ade ' s Famous Fables. Ted is one man who never shiv- ered at the famous cartoons of Bo Brawley which panned the 2:30 birds. Ted throughout his four years could always be found in the Athletic Room willing and ready to assist in any manner possible to help along the Athletic revival during long hours after the regular dismissal period. Ted also finds time to report the various athletic activities at the Heights of the Boston Herald, in this way combining in a practical manner his knowledge of athletics and principles of Journalism acquired in his Junior year. His ability as a student, his loyalty to Boston Col- lege and his untiring efforts to promote its interests augur well for his success in whatever sphere of activity he moves. 192 SUB T U R R 1 192 WILLIAM JOSEPH CONEYS Born May 29, 189 Soutli Boston, Mass. makes a specialty of answerin Ethical, or even ol: Astronomical importance.

At the close of Sophomore, Bill jumped to Uncle Sam ' s Navy, but as soon as the fig-hting was over he persuaded the powers that be to give him his release so that he could finish his course on time. His skill at grinding hamburger steak was utilized during Senior year, when he was selected to turn out the Psychology notes on the mimeograph machine, and it is said that he eclipsed all previous records, both for speed and endurance.

He came to us from Holj Cross, where he spent the first tAvo years of his collegiate life aud won many certificates of excellence in the classics and analytic geometrj . Shortly after Jack found himself aud entered Boston College, he joined the U. S. Aviation Service and spent six months overseas. The war over, he again took up his studies in the Junior Class. Jack is a real philosopher and believes in combining philosoi hical studies with the pastoral life. This fact probably accounts for his clearness of thought and logical cun- clusions. The large, well-conditioned, pros- perous farm on Avhieh this sturdy youth devotes his spare time is a credit to him. Although time would not permit of Jack attempting to play on varsit.y athletic teams, he played football on the various class teams, engaged in track and baseball games occasionally. In the interclass meet of 1919 he put his flying knowledge to prac- tical advantage by sailing gracefully over the bar in the pole vault at a height of over nine feet. The unique feature of this event was the fact of his having to be forced to attempt the effort. Yes, it is a great thing to have confidence in one ' s self and Jack has that in abundance. When the Medfield special rolls back to town with Jack aboard after graduation, his fellow seniors will miss his wholesome companionship and his optimistic good- natured smile that was always present. 192 SUB T IT R R I 1920 MARTIN EDWARD CONNORS Born April 20, 1896.

We have looked in vain to see Martj ' s even temper ruffled, yea, even to find a hair displaced after a tough battle Avith Ethics, Jurispi ' udence, or any of the ologies. While serving AAdth the United States forces overseas, Martj learned mam- things, and the Avisdom thus acquired led him to de- cide upon entering Boston College rather than to return to Holy Cross where he had studied for three years. When the Lowell contingent organized their Boston College Club, they did not look far for a leader. There was one and only one who possessed the commanding appearance and qualities for such an office. That man was Marty. A glance at his photo above will reveal the reason for the social successes of that organization. All things consid- ered, Marty is one of the handsomest men of the class and without intention of flattery, we pay him in strict justice the compliment of being our Beau Brummell. Indications point to a career in law for Marty but we feel that he has it in him to do big things in the business world. Whichever of the two it may be, we know he will be busy and happy, and to help him to this he will be able to count on all his fellow- ciassmates. 192 SUB T IT E R I 192 WILLIAM JEREMIAH CONWAY Born .Inly 1, 1898.

If you have not looked at the photograph in the upper corner of this page, do so uoav and one glance will suffice to explain why it is we all like William Jeff ' Conway. It is said that when he had his picture taken, he tried hard to be serious, but Jeff found that he cannot change nature. In his case we do not want it changed, for you will see in those smiling lips and laughing eyes, the genial, kindly and happj ' classmate we have known for four years. If we were to try and say all the good things we could about him, this book would be devoted entirely to Jeff. We can only dwell on a few incidentals and leave the rest to be surmised. First of all, Jeff is the cham- pion of us all for donning the soup and fish regalia. Three or four such engagements a week is nothing in his young life. As a partner with Hinchey, Jeff has kept the new Business Administration course moving, proving himself to be an organizer and hard worker. Finally, as a member of the Sub- Turri Staff, he has rendered invaluable assist- ance in many phases of its production, spend- ing many hours in the editoria l room fairly radiating good cheer and jollity and thus lightening the burdensome hours of toil spent in its completion. A good student, and an excellent compan- ion, generous to a fault, kind hearted and good-natured, Vv e have always found Jeff ' to be a real prince of good fellows. A combina- tion of such qualities will be sui ' ely the means of bringing him unlimited progress in the industrial world. 19 2(1 SUB T r E R I 1920 EDWIN LEO CROWLEY Born November 21, 1894 Abington, Mass.

Ed Crowley might well be termed the oldest member of the class if we consider the number of years he has been associated with B. C. In the Fall of 1913, after finishing a course at Abington High School, he became a regular patron of the morning train to Boston. However, he was obliged to put a A ' ay his commuting ticket in rlie following February, when he was taken down by a severe attack of pneumonia and it was not until 1915 that he reappeared at the Heights. This year he became a member of the base- ball squad and Bill Sweeney liked his play- ing so well that he took Ed on all tlie trips with the team. As Ed progressed in his stiidies, he evinced a predilection for scientific subjects and when he became a Junior he elected to take a pre- medical ' ' ■our:,e. For over half a year he could be found in the chemistry laboratory every afternoon, intent upon the analysis of doubtful looking and oft ' times vile-smelling solutions; then for a second time his college course was interrupted, this time by the call of war. On Good Friday in 1918, Ed went to Camp Devens. In a short time his superior officers took advan- tage of the training he had received at Boston College and assigned him to the medical corps, in which he served as a surgeon ' s assistant (Base Hospital-operating room) until he was sent to the officers ' training school at Camp Grant, Illinois, where he remained until his dis- charge. He then joined us. Now that the year is over Ave can rest assured that the perseverance and determination that have helped Ed to finish his course at B. C. in spite of two great set-backs will eventually bring him into the ranks of B. C. ' s most success- ful Alumni. 52 192 S U B T IT IR E ] 19 2 JOHN PATKICK DEGNAN Bom August 23, 1895.

The far-famed South Boston claims an- other of our number in the person of un- assuming, modest and auburn haired John Degnan. John made his first appearance at the Heights witli the majority of B. C. High class of ' 16. He is alwav.s referred to as Degnan I to distinguish him from his namesake, Joe Degnan who hails from Lawrence. The invariable morning greeting of one to the other runs as follows : How is J. J. this morning? Fine, how are you J. P.? John, like many other fighting Irish- men from Southy was a stout opponent of Prohibition. By this we do not mean to insinuate that John Barleycorn was the material cause of our classmate ' s ruddy com- plexion. That is due rather to long years spent on the sunny beach at L Street. The truth of the matter is that Prohibition deprived John of a lucrative position in one of South Boston ' s lead- ing wine stores, therefore his hearty opposition. John ' s versatility and ability may be judged from the fact that he Avas the only student at College chosen as census inspector. From all appearances this youth of high aspirations has not mapped out am definite career in spite of the fact that he has delved deeply into Father Hill ' s many reference books on vocation. The little red house on the hill may welcome John as a new candidate. Whatever his career may be, the ability and per- severance which we know to be his and which we have frequently seen manifested in class activities, will bring him alwavs to the fore. smse 1920 SUB T U E E I 1920 ' ' C ' oloiiel ' ' Aicardi, he make, ness what he lacks in size. When the Captains of Industry met the School Marms on the foot- ball field, J. D. was one of the star performers and when it comes to talking Kloby, he is Benard ' s oulj- rival. However, in spite of his love of action, he lias a poetical turn of mind and has written countless last lines for Limericks. His power to concentrate his attention on Limericks during most abstract meta- phj ' sical discussions was to us a sure sign of genius. Unfortunately, Dinny ' s faith in human nature was shaken during Junior. One of his townsmen told him the Dean wanted to see him. When he went down to the office, the Dean asked him what he wanted. Since then it has been hard to make Dinny believe anything. Taking our cue from his actions while with us, we feel safe in predicting a prosperous business career for him in the Mill City.

Much as we dislike to repeat an old saying, we can best describe Joseph D. by saying that great things come in small packages. For four years he has been hopping out of bed every morning about the time the milk- man disturbs our slumber, in order to catch the morning train from Lawrence. Rising at such an hour, he imbibes copious draughts of the clear morning air and basks in the first raj s of the rising sun before reaching the college. The result is that when he gets there he radiates cheerfulness and energ Though built close to the ground, like up in aggressive- Bis, 192 SUB T U R R I 19 2 WILLIAM JOSEPH DEMPSEY Born April 10 1S9S Maiden, Mass.

A mere glance at the list of activities noted above Avill prove to all that this young man is a most versatile athlete, and all who have known him will add that he is a corking good fellow. If our old friend Homer could have seen Demo ' s speed on the cinder-path. he would have cast away his lyre and refused to sing of Achilles, swift of foot. But our genial captain of track needs no Homer to herald his exploits, for he is known to all as the New England Intercollegiate record-holder in the broad jump, the king of center-tielders needs bow to none in the dashes. and a I ' unner who In football too, the ability displayed by Demo in all interclass games would have merited a place on many a varsity team, but his greater value to the college as a winner of points in track has cost Demo his letter in football. We have but one fault to find with Bill, he will insist upon singing. Whenever an agony quartet starts to emit harmonious sounds in the lunch-room or on the field, the long-suffering auditors merely inquire, Who are the other three? Bill revealed another of his accomplishments when he joined the Dramatic Society and entertained us all at the col- lege play. His acting was as good as anyone could wish to see, and as for that song he rendered, — it brought down the house. A very active life has been Demo ' s while at college. He has done his bit in everything worth trying. Siirely the success he has had while with us is prophetic of still greater things when he toes the mark in the greater race to come. 192 SUB TURRI 1 9 2 FRANCIS JOSEPH DILLON Born October 2. 1898.

Iiistinctivelj ' the ques- tion comes to our lips when we gaze at the picture in the corner, for rarely have we seen Frank Dillon unaccompanied by Jim Foley. These two have been the Damon and Pythias combination in the class of 1920. Blessed by nature with a large and well- knit frame, Frank is easily distiuguLshed from his smaller classmates, but if he should l)e with some of the other six footers when you seek him, pick out the man with the ci ar. That ' s Frank. Though to all out- ward appearances he is a typical dignified S-nior nevertheless his is a jovial spirit, earnest visage lurks an and beneath the surfa ever-readj ' smile. When t;he football team played at West Point Frank ' s long legs kept him in the vanguard of the royal rooters who followed the team. When the post-master called for help during the Christmas rush, braAvny arms won for him a welcome at the Railway Mail Depot, but — and he will tell you so himself — neither his legs nor his arms were of much use to him when he tried the third degree of the K. of C. We cannot let this opportunity pass without men- tioning the good work Frank has done for the class this year. Chosen to be one of the associate editors of this book he has given unstintingly of his time and efforts to make it a success. The fact that he is a member of Barrister ' s Hall and his close intimacy with Lawyer Caouette leads us to believe he will study lav and we look forward to greeting him some day as District Attorney Dillon. 192 SUB T U B R J 1 9 2 U FREDERICK LEO DONAHER Born June 10, 1898.

If we were to conform to the wishes of Fred regarding a brief sketch of his college days, this whole page would be a blank. He shrinks from appearing in tlie limelight. His supreme modesty, although it must alwa.vs be considered a great asset iu him or in any being, has kept him from being known to us as he should be. Those of us who have pen- etrated this armor have found Fred to be a likeable, dependable and sincere friend po.

According to our greatest authoritj on class matters and statistics, ' ' Yinnid Snojd, ' ' 1 Fred is a man of few words, but when he does speak, his words have an abundance of gray mat- ter behind them. Fred ' s love of sports brought him out early in his course for the baseball team, but the college lost a promising recruit when he hurt his throwing arm to such an extent that he has never been able to recover its one-time accur- acy in pegging the pellet. However, robbed of this chance, Fred came to his own on the gridiron and was a member of the squad which lowered Yale ' s standard. Our only regret is that after a four year bud- dyship we must say farewell, but no one deserves to fare well more so than Fred and we feel cer- tain he will. 192 SUB TUERI 1 920 JOHN CORNELIUS DONOHUE Born December 13, 1899 Salem, Mass.

Everyone will admit that Salem, Massa- chusetts, is a famous towu. Yet when inquiry is made as to the ultimate cause of Salem ' s fame, various answers will be given. Some will say that it was the big fire, others inti- mate that the witches were to blame, but those who really know will merely say Johnny Donohue. We have every reason to believe that John is very susceptible to environment, for in class he is quieter than the proverbial mouse and ahvays able to recite in a way that brings joy to a professor ' s heart; and when he is in evening clothes he makes an appear- ance that would cause the coldest female heart to flutter. John is the energetic President of the newly organized Boston College Club of Salem, and, according to all reports, his grace in wielding the gavel is on a par with his many other accom- plishments. John is a member of the ' ' Captains of Indus- try and is slated to make a name for himself in the business world after he has been granted the honor of putting A. B. on his cards. Always a hustler, we predict that John will require no boosting in his climb to success. 1920 SUB TUB R I 192 AUGUSTUS ALOYSIUS DONOVAN Born December 24, 1898. Lawrence, Mass.

The subject of this page is one of the five Lawrence beauties, none other than Gus Douovan. Together with Clark and Walsh, we have an inseparable trio, the bonds of whose comradeship no power can disrupt. One thing for which we all are grateful to Gus is that he refrains from boisterously up- holding the internationall.y known Kloby, king of welterweights and the possessor of the unfailing haymaker. Gus is content to allow Degnan and Benard, fellow-towns- men to tell the world all about Kloby ' s merits. In so hiding his pride he acts the part of his nature. Never desiring to be be- fore the gaze of the public, Gus seems to be content to sit and listen and then, all arguments having been set forth, proceeds to act intelligently and enei.- .et; jallv Gus has hitherto remained in the background of social life, but lately he startled his fondest adiuirers by his display of fancy footwork at one of the local affairs in Lawrence. Thus, in keep- ing with his character we find that he knows the value of preparedness and when to exercise it. Gus could always be counted amongst the sweet sixteen in studies. We never looked for the startling or the brilliant from him in class but when called upon to recite he never failed to talk intelligently and forcibly on the matter under discussion. He is one of the consistent, steady and reliable type of men, who with an object in view, leaves no stone unturned to secure their end. Keep up the practice of these habits, Gus and we will not be disappointed in our expectation of big things coming to you hereafter. 1920 S IT B T U B B I 192 FRANCIS PATRICK JOSEPH EARLS Born March 6, 1898 Brighton, Mass.

It gives ns great pleasure to introduce Frank Earls, familiarly known as Dnke, whom we are wont to consider an old- timer, in view of the fact that his connec- tion with University Heights dates back almost to the time when the new buildings were thrown open for occupancy. In the Fall of 1914. he began beating a path between Brighton and Boston College, but before the first snowfall he was injured in a foot-ball game and developed a case of rheumatism which kept him out of college for a year. After his return to Boston College he was content to follow the line of least resistance until last fall when he tried to stage a come- back on the gridiron iiiidcr Coach Cavanaugh. Though we admired his courage, we deplored his judgment, for, alongside some of the huskjr lines- men, he looked like a mascot. At any rate, after a couple of weeks, Duke decided that discretion was the better part of valor, and putting away his togs joined us in the bleachers while he was still whole and entire. Though of a modest and retiring disposition, he Avill insist that he has been of invaluable assistance to all of his professors who have con- ducted building fund drives. Now, after watch- ing the youngsters come and go, his battle for a degree is over, and as he steps forth to take his part in the bigger battle of life we unite in wish- ing him the best of luck. _IgBio 392 SUB T U R R I 19 2 CDWAKD JOSEPH FINNEGAN Boru March 27, 1S98 Medford.

It is the proud boast of our class that the versatilitj ' of its members has been thor- ouo ' hly demonstrated throughout the four years of their attendance at the Heights. Not only have its members excelled on the ath- letic field, in managerial and editorial capaci- ties, on the debating platform, but the stage too, has received several contributions. Not the least among this latter class is Edward J. Finnegau, whose fame as a Shakesperian in- terpreter is only equalled by his presentation of Father in the 1920 Comedy. In dramatics, Ed more than any other has been a leader in maintainuig the lofty stand- ards of Shakesperian productions by his splendid portrayal of leading roles. Possessed of a fine voice, coupled with finished gestures and a happy faculty of ideally interpreting his part, he has shown to advantage on all occasions those qualities of a thespian so rarely found in a col- legian. Of course, Ed received part of his training in the Debating societies and here too was regarded as an able debater. In class he was cptiet and Avell-mannered with a pleasant greeting for all. Ed ' s vocation in life is not now known to his classmates, but we can all feel sure that he Avill be always seeu in the center of the stage playing his usual leading role. 1 9 2 () SUB T U R R I 1920 DANIEL ANTHONY FLYNN Born October 23, 1898 Cambridge, Mass.

The simjole reason is that Dan was one of those men Avho are content to allow things to ' ' come and go ' ' and to never worry about the future. To him, it was always the present. The past was a thing to forget ; the future — well, wait until it arrives. With this philosophy of life, Dan marched along with us for four years. Steady and even reliable in class, he was never under the clutches of the law, but rather Avas to be depended upon for good results. It seemed that with just a little more effort something real brilliant would undoubtedly be forth- coming, but Dan seemed content to hide any such accomplishments. Never to be considered in that class of bold, assertive chaps, he was supremelj ' happy in his own retiring way. To and from college, Dan delighted his fellow students and the Bl patrons with his rich Tenor voice. He had all the latest rags in his repertoire, and his ability as a songster, coupled with a plentiful supply of jokes and power to put them across properly, made him a favorite with all. His — Well I heard — was the signal for all to sit up and listen, for they knew that the latc Keith ' s hit was to be sprung. Of friends, Dan can number scores ; of enemies, not one. So will he go on through life; capable, affable and kind, gaining friends by his compan- ionship. What his future life-work is to be, we cannot surmise, but we are assured that some day all the good things he has hidden from us will be revealed to the world at large when the lid of modesty is pried from the treasury of natural ability within him stored. fi-Bio 1920 SUB TUREI 192 JAMES JOSEPH FOLEY Born July 9, 1899 South Boston, Mass.

As the good ship 1920 gracefully slid down the ways, there was found amongst her crew the vivacious and loyal personage of him whose countenance adorns this page. After a comparatively peaceful training- cruise at our Prep school, Jim shipped at the Heights in order to extend his explora- tions on the sea of knowledge. As we near the port and retrospect upon our voyage, we can rightly say that Jim grasped every op- portunity to make the cruise beneficial, en- joyable and memorable both to himself and to all of his mates. His unceasing diligence in study, linked with his facetious and lively disposition, formed a personality difficult to duplicate. At times Jim was profound and in vain have we attempted to fathom one of his apparently deep assertions, namely that I never knew that there were so many wonderful people in the world until I became a Census Enumerator. His knowledge of all subjects was complete : indeed while a iunior the professor was prematurely forced to confer the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ' ' upon him. No less talented was Jim when Ave took up the study of Geology and readily do we re- call the day when his unlimited knoAvledge and embel- lished elocjuence sophistically endeavored to define and explain a geyser by likening it to a volcano. Thus did this wrestler of syllogisms enter into the very life of the class, c ontributing to its academic standing and cheerful spirit. Whatever concerns B. C. attracts the notice of Jim and although his manifesta- tion of college spirit is neither bold nor affected, still it is most firm and of sterling cast, as exemplified by his hazardous tramp over the road to the West Point game. We look forward to Jim as a successful business man, possessed with a wealth of ability and talent. 1920 SUB T U R E I 19 2 BERNARD PATRICK FOX Born June 28, 1899 Dedham, Mass. and better all competition for the title of chief mumbler.

He solidly established the fact that Fox and Business are synonymous and the narra- tion of his career consists in but a description of his business qualities and powers. Sincere application during the lectures of the Business Course rapidly bore fruit and the detailed explanation of technical terms and commercial conditions as they are — or as Barney thinks they should be — rendered most ben- eficial assistance to us during each and every class meeting. The interest in business and the investi- gation and study of the trading world, as practised and cherished by him clearly exposes the direction of his future path. This confident spirit, strength- ened b.y his keen consideration of all details before acting, foretells a brilliant future and a fruitful journey for Barney along this chosen lane.

Very quickly, however, conversion in belief was brought about, our view was changed and on the contrary we found that Dedham ' s gift was an active aird vivacious, yet serious youth whose spirit was ever lively and whose clamor was never absent. The renowned buzz of a class-room was never lacking in an.y lecture or recitation of our entire course, yet it must have always oc- curred to Barney that we were decidedly weak in this respect for his earnest efforts were ever applied in an attempt to thwart 1920 SUB T U E E I 1920 FRANCIS JOSEPH GALLAGHER Bom March 24, 1896 Stoueham, Mass Sodality (1, 2, 3, 4); Marciuette (1, 2); Fulton (3). Simultaneous with the advent of Mr. Gallagher of Stoneham into this world ot trial and tribulation, there began in its em- bryonic develoi ment, the slowly but surely progressing nucleus of a new Webster — a modern Demosthenes. Our colleague from Stoneham is a man of most distinguished accomplishments. Gifted Avith a magnetic and appealing manner he has a certain naturalness, so to speak, and an originalit.y that characterizes him as a person of assured success in whatever he un- dertakes in life. Before the commencement of the World War, he was pre-eminent as a public speaker. We say in a spirit of candor and with a great deal of admiration for our friend that in all his life at Boston College he always took up the cudgel in behalf of any oppressed cause or person that presented itself. If it were a fight against the prefect to save some poor unfortu- nate from hard labor at non-union hours, wherein the culprit was wrongfully adjudged guilty, Prank with his unrivalled Irish wit and his scholarly eloquence was always on hand to battle for the cause of justice in the interest of the oppressed. Then again if some small nation in the depth of Asia were fighting for freedom, with equal fervor he was always the first to publicly declame and agitate for its independence and justice. Finally with the idea of preserving the best for the last, let us say with sincere heartfelt pride of true sons of Boston College and allow us to glory in the fact that Gal was among the first of the institu- tion ' s sons to voluntarily enter the service of his coun- try in her time of need- Let us again joyfully repeat that he has an honor- able military record for foreign service — and finally let us conclude hy stating that Gal is President ex- sequo with Mr. H. Valentine Anderson of the veterans ' organization, The BOYS of 76. 19 2 SUB T U E R I 1920 FREDERICK JAMES GALLAGHER Born January 6, 1896 Lexington, Mass.

Yet, when our modest class-mate is prevailed upon to break his silence, words of wisdom are wont to greet his hearers. Prob- ably no other fellow in the class can exhibit a smile so cheery and so irresistible as that which Fred dispilays ; for when he smiles the lowering clouds roll back, the bright sun shines forth, and all the world seems to for- get its cares. He has smiled his way into the hearts of his classmates. Fred comes from Revere ; ergo, he is a philosopher. His life spent by the shore of the loud-resounding sea has no doubt given to him that broadness and serenitv of mind which so notably sets him apart from the P ' orty Thieves. Indeed he is a charter member of the Angelic Sweet Sixteen. Fred is not unlike his much beloved sea ; he is deep, nay rather he is most profound. The truth of this assertion is vouched for by all who have heard his sapient words and in particular by Father Hill, who testified to the effect that he doesn ' t scratch on the surface but burrows down deeply. ' ' But for all his profundity, Fred has lofty am- bitions, and the only i-ecipe we have to oifer that his success may be assured is Smile, Fred, Smile! 192 SUB TURRI 1920 THOMAS FRANCIS GATELY Born July 8, 1895 Roxbmy, Mass.

It is unnecessary, dear reader, to recom- mend this young- man whose benign counte- nance looks upon you from the corner of this page. This book is his recommendation, and since the effect derives all of its perfection from the cause which produces it, any merit that you may find in this book should be attributed to the genial Sub-Ttjbri boss. Tom has been with our class for two years. He was originally a member of the class of 1919, but managing Uncle Sam ' s affairs in foreign Avaters during the war, delaj-ed him just long enough to deprive our predecessors of an able and ardent worker. But ' ' ' Tis an ill wind that blows nobody good. and surely we have no cause for grievance against the Zephyr that brought Tom to us. No class meeting during the past two years has been complete without Tom ' s protests, appeals, advice, retorts and mo- tions. As a result, Tom had the idea that his opinions were not popular with the class, yet when the most important task of the Senior year was undertaken, the class turned to him and unanimouslj ' elected him Editor-in-chief of their year book. The wisdom of their choice has been manifested many times over to us, his associates, in the work of producing the book. There is one characteristic which distinguishes Tom from the majority of his classmates; he has a very pronounced predilection for attending class even on stormy days. No snowstorm, however severe, nor any other obstacle, could ever keep him from school, he was Semper Fidelis. A very companionable chap, Tom is also a sin- cere, earnest worker, and whatever he may take up after leaving us, we can predict only the o-reatest success. 67 19 2 SUB T U R R I 1920 made poet laureate of the class and this no doubt resulted from his knowledge of nature acquired by observation in the country wilds of Roslin- dale.

Particularly has he shone in all interclass meets in the weight events. We wiir retain always two points of interest regarding Andy. First, he sleeps with his eyes open; secondly, he has a most wonderful smile which when it is flashed across his countenance disarms all suspicion and reveals the friendli- ness, sincerity and frankness which Andy possesses in a high degree. It has been said that he who loves flowers and nature (and we can add ' he who possesses such a smile ' ) is a noble soul. This fully applies to Andy and when he leaves us, we will regret the separation and will indeed be envious of those who are to share his companionship through life.

Think of Andy Gemmell and your thought will instinctively turn to Longfel- low ' s Village Blacksmith. ' ' Possessed of a strong, husky, well-knit frame, with muscles bulging out, arms heavily coated with strong black hair, we can readily picture this young man standing by a forge, pounding the shoe on the anvil.

When the class g ' ot under way in Junior year, we found among ' the new arrivals Eddie Gervais, who, after a few years spent at Assumption College, Worcester, de- cided to east his lot with the class of 1920 at Boston College. He has proved a welcome addition to our ranks, not because of any open manifestation of unusual talents, but by reason of his earnestness, diligence and manly bearing which he has for two years exemplified. Every class of young men are the richer for having this type of man in their midst. Eddie arrived at class every morning more or less on time. His tardiness was occasioned by the long trip from Lowell. The Lowellites have become well acquainted with this young man as he majestically alighted each morning from his fliv -er at the Lowell Station just in time to fall on the train for Boston. Having boarded the train, one was sure to find Eddie in a corner-seat comfortably stretched out, notebook in hand and deeply occupied in solv- ing the many intricate and abstract processes of reasoning which were part of his philosophy. That he made good use of his time consumed in travelling is attested to by his high scholastic standing. After he walks away with his degree this June, Eddie intends to settle in Lowell and by his business ability expects to startle the mem- bers of the community with the successes we know will be his. 19 20 SUB T U R R I 1920 FRANCIS PATRICK GLAVIN Born January 16, 1899 Boston, Mass. daily at 2:30 to fill the lamp for a night ' s work. Far from it. One could always go to a game of football, baseball or any sport, varsity or interclass, and find Frank support- ing each in turn. Evenings discovered Frank acting as Librarian in the Boston Public Library. We wonder if this was the cause of his ever bril- liant and fluent translations of Latin and Greek. Frank has been the originator of sev- eral clever ideas during his stay with us. He actually developed a method of collecting the money for caps and gowns before ordering them. His success in the business world is therefore assured. As an associate editor of this book, Frank has proved himself a valu- able aid in every difficulty connected with its production. The learning, zeal and ability possessed by Frank in a marked degree, when applied in future years will, beyond a shadow of doubt, place him in the spotlight of some community, despite his desire to avoid its rays.

Boston Latin School sent Frank to us in the Pall of 1916 and in this quiet, unassum- ing youth, the class of 1920 found one of its treasures. At no time was he found seeking to bask in the calcium light of popularity, but unostentatiously and tirelessly worked for the furtherance of every college under- taking. Frank has been seldom heard from throughout each year ' s course, but when the marks were read and the prizes awarded each June, it usually happened that volun- teers had to assist him home with his premiums.

Whatever the gather- ing or the subject being discussed, even though it be of the deepest metaphysical importance, Dutch has never been at a loss for a witticism to throw more light on the subject to relieve the strain occasioned by the consideration of the most abstract. But despite this drawback, Arthur Richard has always throughout his four year course stood well up among the leaders of the class and the records testify to a large number of honorable mentions and several prizes in his name. However, in this respect Dutch has had considerable advantage over most of us. as he never was unable to obtain a reference book in the public libraries as most of us have been unable to do. It is rumored that he has considerable influence in a certain public library. At the close of our Sophomore year Dutch thought the war had been dragging on about long enough, so he enlisted to end the strife and make the world safe for democarcy and down-trodden humanity. He was tirst sent to Plattsburg Train- ing Camp and some months later to Camp Lee, Va. By this time, however, the Germans had got wind of the fact that Dutch was on his way and so called the war off and soon after Dutch came back to us ' to wind up his course in a blaze of glory. To all those who have experienced the pleasure of Dutch ' s friendship, this time of parting brings regret, but we feel sure that his sunny disposition, radiating joy and cheer in the same degree as it has ' gPi ■ ' hile Math us, will merit him a warm place in the hearts of his future associates. 1920 SUB TUERI 1920 LAURENCE ZACHARY GORMAN Born June 16, 1899 Fitchburg, Mass. proceed.

Although the splendid results attained by Larry in his chemical courses indicate that a life spent in the laboratory would bring him renown, his inti- mates inform us that he intends to practise law. This rumor is substantiated by the fact tha t he usually has with him books of a legal nature. He is especially interested in International law. In fact, apart from his keen interest in the pro- ceedings of the Divorce Court in Pemberton Square, it is his hobby to peruse accounts of intri- cate international law cases.

But such occurrences have been very seldom and Russ has always maintained a high standard of scholarship during his four years.

In all interclass games, whether it was football, baseball or basketball. Russ always shone. But it was not till his last year that he went out for any varsity team. In that year Russ was a candidate for varsity baseball and easily made second base, where he played a steady, con- sistent game all year.

In fact, he is a life-long resident of that famous city and he admits it without blushing. Next to some harrowing experiences while in the army, during the Great War, the greatest event in his life was that of the Chelsea fire, in which he lost him home. After such an experience, is it any wonder that Jack is serious-minded? Silent Jack is the title which has been conferred upon him. It is fitting. Strict economy in the use of speech, particularly (luring class, merits him this name. Yet, for all his quietness, he is known to be good company, possessed of a fine sense of humor and a welcome addition to any gathering of fellows. Whether it was because of the suffering he witnessed during the war or because of the fact that he has been accustomed to carving beef, poultry and other meats in the market district of Boston, Jack chose the pre-medical course in Senior year. His skill in the Biology Laboratory and his knowledge of Chemistry have made him the leading member of the class. His marks are the aim of all the other members, but at best they can only hope to equal him, they will never pass him. Next year will find Jack in one of the leading medical schools of the East. Then, after a few short years there will be an addition to the ranks of the medical profes- sion and the new-comer will shed new glory and renown to that body by the good work of which we know he is capable and which is sure to be forthcoming. 1920 SUB T U E E I 19 2 EDMUND ALOYSIUS HIGGINS Born April 12, 1898 Roxburv, Mass.

Eddie is one of the joys of the class. For four j ears now we have enjoyed his com- pany, not only in class, but at every function, social, athletic or otherwise, connected with Boston College. Ed ' s classmates in Freshman B have never been able to discover what caused that soul- ful and dreamy expression to overspread his features on so many occasions. At first they thought that Ed ' s sympathetic heart went out to poor suffering Hecuba, but another in- terpretation was placed upon it by his pro- fessor ' s command, Say, come out of it, Seventeen. By this, we do not infer that studies did not form part of Higgle ' s life, for a glance at his record would at once dispel such an illusion. We have wondered, however. Eddie has been a regular ' ' at all the activilies of the Boston College Clubs, and here we must say one thing at least, his experience has been broad. As one of the Royal Rooters, Eddie journeyed up to West Point with the football team. Every athletic activity has found him rooting strenuously for old B. C. As an associate editor on the Hci( Jits, he has proved himself a good press-agent for all the under- graduate activities. His duties as photo editor of our Year Book have kept him busy and we can truthfully say that we have had no harder worker in the inter- ests of the class than Eddie. His wonderful descriptions of the night before have been unceasing sources of joy to the less fortu- nate members of the class. A very active collegian, we know that Eddie ' s interests in Boston College ' s welfare will not cease with his college course. We are certain that he will make himself known and appreci- ated in whatever business he enters and so he has our very best wishes to accompany him. 75 1920 SUB T U R R I 1920 ARTHUR LOUIS HINCHEY Born August 18, 1899 Waltliam, Mass.

There are few men who could stand the strain of a beadle ' s job for three whole years and be able at the end of that time to show such a care-free countenance as Arthur Hinchey displays. Arthur was the un- crowned King of beadles during Freshman, Sophomore and Junior, but this year his kindness of heart forbade him to continue and he rebelled against putting our names on absentee list any longer. He was not, however, destined to pass out of the lime- light altogether for the efficient way in which he had handled his job as beadle made him a very desirable man to have on hand when any proposition needed skilful handling. Accordingly, when the Business course was begun, Hinchey was selected to get out the notes and tend to all the details ; when the Boston College Club of Waltham needed a Viee-Presi- detn, Hinchey was the man ; and when Father Herredia asked for some one to help him put over his expose of Spiritualistic practises, every- body pointed to Hinchey. However, all the credit for our ex-beadle ' s achievements should not be given exclusively to him. for nature in giving out heads certainly gave Arthur a big advantage over the majority of us. A luxuriant growth of waving hair, a broad brow, perfect features and a bountiful supply of gray matter within — such were the favors Dame Nature bestowed on Arthur. Reliable, faithful and earnest are the adjec- tives which best describe Arthur Hinchey and his work among us. We expect great things of one who has .shown himself so dependable and loval. m: 19 2 S IT B T U R R T 1920 AUGUSTINE DANIEL HORGAN Born July 15, 1898 Waban, Mass.

For four years we have been accustomed to see Gus Horgan drift in and out of Col- lege each day. There is nothing unusual to this statement, but yet, when we think of the manner in which he appeared, we have the story. Just as the beadle closed the door for commencement of class, it would be immedi- ately reopened, a handsome, freckled and smiling face would appear in the opening, and then timidly and stealthily Gus would glide, as only he can, to his seat. A slight cough, a rustling of papers and we would know that he was set for the hour. It was the smile that did it; for Avhat professor could have the heart to call Gus to account when said smile Avas flashed his way ' Gus was neatness personified, in fact, he is a close second to our chosen Beau Brummel. This is undoubtedly the reason why we could always look upon him to hold his head high at all social activi- ties. Dolled up in a dress suit, he was stunning and irresistible. He had partners a-plenty for all the dances he attended, and let it be known that no stauncher supporter of College activities could be found than Gus. As Vice-President of the Newton Boston College Club, he manifested his ability as a public speaker, acquired during his connection with the Pulton. The biggest social event of Newton held in years was conducted under his care. Business is to claim the attention of Gus in the future years. His excellent work in the Business Administration course is the foundation for a higher course at Harvard Business School, after which we shall then look for grand results. 1920 SUB T U R B I 1920 EDWARD JOSEPH HUBNER Boru April 26, 1898 Chelsea.

We have all listened in rapt admiration on many an occasion tc Ed ' s lucid renditions of Caesar, Cicero, Demosthenes and others ; we have marvelled at the ease with which he solved difficulties in philosophy. There is but one thing, however, that has baffled Ed. He has never been satisfied with Sir Oliver Lodge and his Spiritism; Sir Oliver has yet to prove conclusively to Ed the answer to the latter ' s question, How do you know it was Raymond ' s voice? We shall wait for Ed to publish a joke book before attempting to narrate any of his originals. Until its appearance, however, we will carry with us the memory of Ed as a cheery, good-natured, and keen-witted com- panion whom we hope will carry the sunshine of his natiire to many others and thus be the means of brightening their paths.

Since the day when Joe first came over the hill from Lake Street, we have had with us a good student and a lively, cheerful fellow who could laugh and sing at all times, even on the eve of an examination. Joe has certainly done a good deal to make life mer- rier for us during his four years in our midst. Whenever he and his gang were gathered in a corner of the lunch-room or on the rear of the Lake Street car, the boys were assured of an impromptu concert in which all the popular rags, both new and old, would be rendered, with a touch of ' ' close harmony added in a manner that would cause even the most fastidious to of the aforesaid -1 B ' 20 applaud. The tenor parts ags would always be fur- nished by the melodious Mr. Joyce. Joe and his tenor voice also spent three years in the Glee Club -wathout seriously impairing the efficiency of that organization. At the end of Sophomore, Joe went to Platts- burg, where his good work was recognized by his being commissioned Lieutenant Joyce. He came back to us again in Junior after the armistice was signed, and has ever since been a most valued member of the class. Among the services rendered by Joe to Alma Mater we must make mention of the fact that he was one of the prime movers in the organization of the Boston College Club of Dorchester. Joe is a member of the Captains of Industry and is already making the plans for his assault upon the business world. We are sure that he will fight a winning battle, for in all his dealings with us he has been a loyal friend and game to the finish. 19 2 SUB TUERI 1920 LOI ' IS ALOYSIUS KANE Born June 17, 1898 East Boston, Mass.

Louis Aloysius Kane came to Boston Col- lege presenting a diploma from Boston College High School. In his Prep clays he was an athlete, but in college he Avas a student exclusively. Throughout four years at the Heights the name of L. Aloysius Kane has always been connected with class events. His bits of wisdom during a strenuous session of class were always most welcome. The source of the remarks was always known, not by an elaborate process of de- ductive reasoning, but by the direct testi- mony of the senses. For be it known that Louis has a melodious soprano all his own, which, under the guidance of Father McCluskey, has developed remarkably in its range and power. In Psychology he is a wizard and is the pro- fessor ' s right hand man. He is a general busi- ness manager of Father McCluskey ' s corpor- ation and tends to the typewriting of those clear as crystal notes. His latest achieve- ment is the acquisition of the principal chair of the newly organized B. C. Club of East Boston, merely another example of his boosting of his Alma Mater. He has travelled far and wide through surrounding districts in pursuit of his hobby of boosting everything connected with Boston College and incidentally acquiring a wide reputation as a public speaker and the title of Al, The silver-tongued orator.

First of all let us congratulate him for coming from the smallest state in the Union in order to enjoy our company. We always appreciated his self-sacrifice, for which we trust he will be rewarded. If everj ' one from Rhode Island carries .such big ideas then Little Rhody ' ' is due to attain great distinction in spite of its diminutive size. Howard is a man of prin- ciple, a man of keen, philosophical mind, frank and sincere in all his opinions. There were occasions. Jiowever, we recall, when Howard, after having apparently missed a few hours ' sleep the night before and when about to enter a comitose state akin to Scho- penhauer ' s Nirvana, roused himself by mighty effort in order to refute some philo- sophical objection advanced against the thesis under discussion. Would that we all could snap out of it so readily. Without a mo- ment ' s hesitation he was ready to concede, transmit, distinguish or deny, and after a convincing refutation would again submerge to his former state. We should be the last to predict what the future has in store for Howard. We doubt if even the fates have marked out the course he is to follow. But this much we may safely venture, that whatever he does will be done well and above all else in an interesting manner. 1 9 2 SUB T U R R I 1920 ended without lid having the final word on the matter and when he spoke, Lyons, Kerrigan, Casey and company could do nothing more than agree. Ed ' s ability can be determined by the fact that he was always picked by Father McCluskey to defend an important thesis. Only the reliables were chosen for these difficult assignments. Ed is a diligent astronomical student. Noctural observations of stars to be seen from Dorchester and South Boston have qualified him to speak authoritatively on such among his classmates. He is one of the few who never dreaded the Astronomy exams. Ed greatly assisted the Year Book editors in their- work and showed himself to be an ex- cellent writer as well as an astronomer. A man of word and deed has been Ed, possessed of capable- ness, energy and intelligence. These are the assets that he will carry with him into business next Pall. What will result?

A sigh of relief, a brief constructive ex- planation on the hardships of a student attempting to arrive on time and Kerrigan Co. ' ' became settled for the onslaught of the day. Jack made his debut amongst us in Sophomore year, coming from St. Anselm ' s college where his oratorical ability had won for him innumerable prizes. By his transfer we acquired a bright witty chap, a tine student and a lively classmate whose jDopu- larity could not be denied. In class and out, Haley and Kerrigan are a combination that have no equal as a source of merriment and wit. The humorous comments and smuggled laughter issuing from their neighborhood indicated that Kerrigan Co. had pulled something new. Kerry ' s views concerning physics or astrono- my were directly opposed to the opinions held by our teachers and as a result many spirited arguments and discussions have taken place. No social affair would be complete without the pre- sence of this titian-haired individual and .judg- ing from the reports he is a big factor in the activities and social Ife of his home burg.

When Ray Kiley entered Boston College he was handicapped from the outset. Great things were expected of him, because of the mark set by his brother Harry ' ' of the class of ' 16. Ray did not shirk the task before him and as a consequence has throughout his course been prominent in every class and college activity, taking a leading part in making each a success. Since the day in Sociology when Ray sought to explain the Rent-Profiteering of 1919 and 1920, he has been the storm center of all arguments on the high cost of living. It was on that same day that we discovered him to be the coal baron of Chariest own and vicinity. One hundred and seventeen Seniors have, since that day, been attempting to solve the real estate riddles which Ray gave out and still no success has been met with. Jerry Cleary almost solved the greatest riddle but in the end was forced to admit defeat. Therefore we can set Ray down as a Delphian oracle. Ray ' s ability as a debater was effectively used as Advertising Manager of the Sub Turri. In this capacity he labored diligently and painstakingly to secure the necessary collateral to assure the financial success of the book. As a real-estate agent, landlord, coal baron, and advertising manager, Ray has had practical experience, which coupled with his college course, will make him a most valuable asset to the business world which is waiting expectantlj for his advent. 192 SUB T U R R I 192 WALTER LEO KILEY Born June 7, 1900 Charlestown, Mass. we now enjoy among the leading universities of the country.

The same care and hard-work was exemplified in the arrangement of the basket-ball schedule of this past year. Both these departments of Athletics owe much to Walter for the success which was theirs in the past few years. Walter has shown us that he is capable, efficient and reliable.

It was at first rumored that these collections were for the purpose of establishing a harem in far off India, but the spirit of piety and zeal for religion with which he accomplished the great good, has long since proved to us that nothing but true Christian charity was the motive behind his financial enterprise. We are proud to announce John Lane of Cambridge, as one of the most famous beadles in recent years, and we advise all underclass beadles, if looking for personal gain, to steer clear of his methods. Threats, bad cigars and chewing tobacco were never strong enough inducements for our honorable classmate to make a departure from strict justice. His zeal for our welfare and the devotion to his charges in India and China augur well for a bright future in an ecclesiastical field. 1920 SUB TURRI 1920 DANIEL JOSEPH LEARY Born March 25, 1896 Lynn, Mass. tion as an advocate of law and order. Thus it was that he preceded Governor Coolidge by two years in defending the basic principles of civil society. It is ru- mored that His Excellency tore a few leaves out of Dan ' s note-book, when he later expounded this very same doctrine. It was because of his success on this team that Dan was made Vice-President of the Fulton. The war broke in upon his term, however and he lost no time in giving his services to his country. None the worse for his experiences in the army, Dan came back and for the past year has battled with us for the coveted degree of A.B. In this life of ups and downs Dan can be relied upon to battle his way to prosperity and happiness, both of which we, his class- mates, wish for him.

Dan ' s appearance on the 1920 stage, how- ever, was a trifle belated as almost two years service with the Gallant Fifth in France, prevented him from receiving his degree in 1918. In the one short year that Dan has been with us we have enjoyed his winning smile, his fragrant corn-cob pipe, and his pleasant ways. Had we known Dan earlier in his course, we would have had to speak at length con- cerning his oratorical ability and his elo- quence as a debater. As a member of the Fulton team of 1918 he toured the State speaking on all vital questions of the day, everywhere establishing an enviable reputa- 192 SUB T U E R I 1920 WILLIAM FORKEST LEVIS Born December 21, 1897 East Boston, Mass.

Here we have a man whose thirst for knowledge caused him to leave his island home and come to the United States to attend Boston College. Before taking this great step, Forrest spent four years at East Boston High School where, in addition to laj ' ing a foundation for his higher education, he acquired the Captaincy of the Noddle Is- land Institution ' s hockey-team. His speed on the ice and his ability to handle a puck made him a most welcome addition to the class hockey-team and when he acted as player-coach during Sophomore, we won the championship of the inter-class league. Naturallj ' , since Forrest has to cross the sea in order to attend college, he focuses his attention during class on the subjects under discussion, thus absorbing much knowledge and winning the esteem of our professors. During the course in Business English, he has shown an uneannj- knowledge of the manipula- tions of the stock-market. Whenever a question has been raised about short-selling or watered stock or about the factors that come into play during the rise and fall of stacks, Forrest has played the part of an information bureau. When he leaves the Heights we expect him to enter the financial world and to use his knowledge of ethical principles and business transaction in helping to purge the stock-market of all baneful iuflueuces, and to make it an honest barometer of the country ' s prosjjerity. ■P-H ' s 1920 SUB T U R E I 1920 JOHN CLEMENT LINEHAN P.oni July 9, 1898 North Easton, Mass. while the campus resounded to the thud of a foot- ball, the oraek of a bat, or the staccato report of the starter ' s pistol, one could find him in the lab intent upon the analysis of some chemical compound. What he has discovered during the past three years., he has stored in his capitolio to be used at a later date.

Jack Linehan wants to have it known tliat to him also belongs some of the credit for making Boston College known to the country folks of North Easton. He makes no noise about it but insists in that quiet, yet firm manner which on manj occasions begets notice far more quickly than the blare of trumpets. Whether it is due to the long ride, the scarcity of trains, or a natural bent to be alone, John is not known to us as he might be. That his time is well spent outside of class IS attested to by his scholastic standing, and his readiness to respond to the profes- sor ' s request for a good recitation. The laboratory has been Jack ' s favorite resort in the past three j ears. Day in and day out, 19 2 SUB T U R E I 192 THOMAS FRANCIS LUBY Born March 10, 1898 Jamaica Plain, Mass.

Tom came to ns from Latin School in the Fall of ' 16, and though we cannot sa.y that he has sought the ' well known limelight to any great extent, yet when we looked for a quiet faithful man for anj undertaking we never looked beyond him. For four years now, we have seen Tom pull in at 9.29 and pull oat again at 2.31, not implying the title of 2.30 bird but a worker in school and out, for he has held down every kind of a job imaginable during his spare time. Work, however, could never keep Tom from an athletic game, varsitj ' or class, and everj- Fall has found him snake dancing with the gang after a victory ; every winter we have listen- ed to him alibing his class ' s defeats and every spring he has been seen in the stands stretching during the lucky seventh, Although, as we have shown, Tom could always be relied upon to support our athletic events, he never went wild over social functions. Of a quiet retiring nature, Tom seems to shun the gentler sex, but to hear certain other Roxburyites talk, ' ' Still water runs deep. As a member of the Roxbury club, Tom has served on various committees and is one of the clubs ' staunchest supports. A conscientious worker, Tom will surely make his mark and that mark will be one for Boston College men to shoot at in the future. 19 2 SUB T U R E I 192 DANIEL IGNATIUS LUCEY Born March 1, 1898 Maiden, Mass.

When Dan Lucey entered Boston Col- lege in 1915, his former High School class- mates mindful of his good work at James Street chose him to preside over the destiny of Freshman A. That they had chosen well, was evident from the spirit Dan soon dis played in class activities. One of his chief works was to take an active part in the form- ation of a Freshman debating society, the Brosuahan, of which he was elected Sec- retary. Besides this he had a hand in all the social and athletic activities of the year. During Sophomore, Dan ' s oratorical abili- ty won for him a place in the Marquette, and thereafter his ringing tones might be heard reverberating through the halls every Fridaj afternoon. When the smoker was held he was on the committee of arrangements and did much to make the event a success. Later in the year he displayed his athletic abilitj ' as a member of the Sophomore baseball team. That Fall, Dan entered a military school out West and when next seen at the Heights was clad in khaki. Upon his discharge from the Officers ' Training School at Camp Lee after the armistice, he came back to Boston College. Since then he has pursued the even tenor of his way. Judging from the manner in which Dan upholds the prestige of Father Corrigan ' s law class, when during an ethical discussion, the reverend pro- fessor refers the point to one of the members of Barristers Hall, we can safely predict that quiet and capable Dan will be heard from in that iield of endeavor in years to come. —IM-M 19 2 SUB T U R R I 1 9 2 FRANCIS JOSEPH LYONS Born March 16, 1898 South Boston, Mass.

A quiet serious looking chap, he has the appearance of a full-fiedg-ed philosopher but besides a philosopher Frank looms us as a very popular social lion. A past master of the Terpsichorean art he is always surround- ed by a bevj ' of young beauties at whatever dance he attends. However he is too much of a student to pay much attention to what might distract him from his pursuit of knowl- edge and higher learning. He is one of the live wires of the class and possesses more than his abundance of pep. As one of the acknowledged leaders of the South Boston delegates Frank was chosen as Vice-President of their organiza- tion. The success and reputation which the club now enjoys is due in a great measure to the efforts and enthusiasm of this young man. This cheerful j ' oung chap, besides being a social leader, is one of our best students. Never during a lecture is he distracted, or does he distract anj ' body. One would hard- ly know that he is in class, so quiet and at- tentive is he, but outside of class Frank is a verj ' lively and peppery youth. It is a com- mon occurrence to observe a certain indivi- dual arguing with George Carey on the right and wrong of ethical and philosophical prin- ciples and Frank can easily hold his own in any argument. Regardless of what profession or business he may enter, Frank is sure to be successful for he is no stranger to hard work and atten- tive studJ With such assets and an abund- ance of natural aptitude, it will not be long before he will merit approbation in the busi- ness world. 1920 SUB T IT R R I 192 did not eoutine his endeavors to the class room, but was the first at all times to answer the call of ath- letics. For four j-ears, he has been on the foot-balh team, and many an opposing- tackle will testify to his prowess on the gridiron. He has also contribut- ed immensely to the victories of our basket-ball and baseball teams. Jack ' s most familiar role is that of litterateur. His brilliant essays and sketches appearing every month in the Stylus delighted us all and gained for him the coveted position of Editor-in-Chief. It would be a pardonable fault in Jack if his manj ' exploits and various successes had upset his humble opinion of himself ; but there is no need for us to be fearful on that account for he has an ex- ceedingly modest manner and an uncomfortable habit of blushing scarlet when called upon to reveal the formula of his successes. Because of his de- pendable qualities, we have all grown to rely or Jack and we will continue to do so, with full assur- ance that he will never fail us. We are sure that in the future years, Charlie Brickley ' s prophecy re- garding him of success in whatever he tackles will be realized. 94 JOHN JOSEPH LYONS Born March 29, 1900 North Easton, Mass.

Who ever heard of North Easton before John Lyons came to Boston College? But, since then — well, nuf ced, when we tell you that North Easton is his home town. Jack prepared at Boston College High school, and in the fall of 1916, we became acquaint- ed with a great, big fellow, possessed of an abundant suppl.y of animality and rationali- ty, plus a goodly portion of cheerfulness. Ei-ndite renderings of Horace, Cicero and Demosthenes soon made his less-gifted breth- ren applaud and won medals enough to cover even his broad chest.

He has ever been an un- failing source of amusement when the occa- sion demanded and on many other occasions as well. His popularity has been enhanced by his active participation in all class activities, particularlj in athletics. As chairman of the Philomatheia Ball committee he gave further evidence of his devotion to his class and college. At the fire on College road Dinm ren- dered yeoman service in Billy Bond ' s fire-fighting brigade and actually directed all operations after the chief had disappeared through the roof. While the war was in progress Dinny enlisted and was sent to Plattsburg. Here again his sterl- ing qualities brought him success, and at the end of the course he was commissioned. He was then sent to Camp Perry, Ohio and later (Oh! The joy of it) to Holy Cross to instruct the training corps at our sister institution. We feel sure Dinny must have sent a letter to Washington expressing his appreciation. He was a great favorite while he re- mained at Holj- Cross, and those who came under his jurisdiction proclaimed him a good fellow. We all wish Dinny the very best of fortune. He has one of the sunniest dispositions in the class and his friends are more numerous than those of a politician before election. We feel sure that Dinny will add to the prestige of Boston College when he has added his name to the list of the Captains of Industry. 1920 SUB T U E R I 1920 EUGENE ANTHONY MeCABE Born April 22, 1899 ' New York City, N.

Eiigeue Anthonj McCabe started his career in a model fashion by making his preparatory course at Boston College High School. However h e fell away after this training and enrolled in Holy Cross College. After two years he saw the error of his waj ' S and upon receiving the inspiration, re- turned to Boston College. Gene is an ardent devotee of the principles of King Jazz and his ability in this branch was recognized when he was appoint- ed a member of the dance committee assist- ing the Philomatheia Club in their ball. His ethical discussions with Father Corrigan were of intense interest to the members of the class, as Gene sometimes expounded theories that had never been heard of and even surx rised the jDrofessor. A quiet, retiring, model type of student would be a typical description of him. Not participat- ing in athletics or oratory, his time is all taken up with class duties and other affairs (mostly other affairs). One thing Gene is proud of — he thinks he is the originator of the style of part- ing the hair in the middle. When he sees that so many of his classmates have adopted his innova- tion, he realizes that he has done something more for the world than merely living. There is no need of us wishing him success in whatever he undertakes, for if his devotion and application in class are any criteria, he will be the eighth wonder of the Class of ' 20. 1920 SUB T U R R I 1920 CHARLES JOSEPH McGILL Born December 8, 1896 Marlboro, Mass.

These are a few of the most prominent acti- vities both in college and out, which tend to give him that brisk, snappj ' , business-like air. Charlie has alwaj s charmed us by his abilitj ' on the organ, but he fairl,y outdid himself during the Senior Retreat by his classic rendition of the Stabat Mater. Nor were his chosen band of choristers lack- ing on this occasion. Perhaps his experience nh-H ' as Director of the College Glee Club enabled him to exercise the rare judgment he showed in picking the noble choir. It was good — yes, it was rich. During his Sophomore year, Charlie lived at St. Marj ' s Hall, and was companion to Reverend John D. Whitney, S. J., former President of Georgetown University. During this time Charlie was the first Boston College man to serve Mass at St. Mary ' s Chapel. The success of the Prohibition sketch at the 1919 commencement can be attributed to undertaker Charlie. The whole affair was planned and worked out by him and won for us the first prize. He has given his best efforts as Business Manager of this book, to make it an assured success. After witnessing the suave manner in which he dealt with business firms in connection with its produc- tion, we conclude that a business life is his calling. Should this be so, we will expect great doings from Charlie in the years to come. 19 2 SUB T U E R I 1920 JOHN JOSEPH McGINLEY Born April 5, 1898 Hamilton, Mass.

John ]iever attemi ted to push himself to the front ; he was content to serve his class by his moral and financial support and it is a matter of record that he did this faith- fully. We would do him an injustice if we did not here record his steady and consistent good work in the class room. No professor could look for anything but a reliable recita- tion from him. Two things stand out prominent when Ave think of John. First, he is a golf enthusiast and from all reports plays a brilliant game. Sec- ondly, Jack ' s blushes are things of beauty. When the beautiful crimson hue overspreads his counten- ance, we can only stand off and admire him and picture to ourselves such rosy tint on the face of another. Jack can be numbered among the men who have accomplished things during his course quietly and without glamour or display. This is the spirit that has marked his work with us. When Jack later tackles the problems of the business man, we are sure he will confidently and unostentatiously wade through all difficulties to emerge safely and successfullJ 1920 SUB TUREI 192 JAMES JOSEPH McINERNEY Born December 5, 1896 Brookline, Mass.

Melnerney of Brookline, a gradu- ate of Boston College High School and Master of Arts in the School of Debonair, is one of the boys who excels in correctness. We cannot give Jim a clear slate for cor- rectness in being on time because he slipped up one never-to-be forgotten morning. In fact when he attempted to slip inside the door at 9.45 A. M. the professor slipped him the news to get out; if you can ' t get here on time from Brookline by riding, make an early start and walk it. Jim has been on time ever since. Mae tried to sell Tremont Street to an unsuspecting country parson, but fou.nd his title was not clear, but if ever any one gains possession of ' The Beach bj ' prescription Jim will be the lucky one. Jim is a wonder wherever he can help out ; he is a hard and willing worker. As Assistant Manager of the Year Book a great deal of credit is due him for his active assistance in making it a success. Because of his willing spirit and his genial companionship he has established for himself a warm spot in the hearts of his classmates. Every class possesses a number of the so-called social lions and in Jim we possess the leader of them all. Neat, graceful and handsome, with more than ordinary ability as a dancer, we can under- stand readilj ' why he is always in demand by society. Steadiness, reliableness and energy have been Jim ' s salient characteristics and with these qualities he can face whatever life has in store for him with full con- fidence that he will attain the goal of his ambitions. 19 2 SUB T U R R I 1920 ALBAN BUTLER McINNIS Born April 9, 1899 Allston, Mass.

Mac is the President of the Boston College Club of Allston and is an able press-agent for all B. C. affairs in his own home town. He is also a roaring lion in social circles, and on those evenings when tooting the saxo- phone does not claim his attention, he may be found gracing the ball-room with his presence. Mae is a past master of the art of taming hot dogs and selling 2.75 per cent, coffee, after his two j ears apprenticeship at the college lunch counter. Attired in his white coat and standing at attention behind the counter, Mac may be found every noon-time, always ready to succour his starving class-mates. His characteristic quality of thoroughness that is evident in every job he undertakes whether it is playing the organ or selling egg sandwiches, together with the business genius he has mani- fested so often, mark this versatile young man as ail assured success in the world. Nothing can stop so ardent a worker as Mac. °yu.  19 2 SUB TURRl 1920 EDWARD JOSEPH McKEOWN Born August 7, 1898 Everett, Mass.

Eddie hails from Everett and is ever ready to spend his eloquence in defense of that fair city, where he is an important factor in all matters of social or political importance. Ed ' s services are always in great demand when there is a drive ' ' on for funds, for his oratorical ability is always most potent when devoted to the task of separating people from their money. In his Freshman year Ed was a prominent member of the now de- funct Brosnahan debating society and a leading star in the college glee-club. Ed ' s ability as a songster is known far and wide and those who have been fortunate enough to hear him play the piano, insist that Paderewski is a bungling amateur in comparison to Mac. Throughout the course he has always been active in class affairs and as a student — well, after Latin and Greek were cut out of the way, Mac had no difficulties. In the long ride to and from Everett every day, he must have spent his time philosophising, for no objection has ever been advanced that he could not distinguish and refute. The prominence at- tained by this thoughtful youth during the course in Barrister ' s Hall leads us to predict that he will soon be settling legal controversies in his home town. No one can doubt that Mae has the ability to do big things ; we who have seen him go through four years of college undis- turbed by fears of exams and quizes ex- pect that he will not change his habit. 19 2 SUB T U B R I 1920 JOSEPH IGNATIUS McLAUGHLIN Born November 3, 1900 Roxbury, Mass. the demands of the ' ' gay set tablished a reputation of no small de- gree.

As a member of the class of embr.yonic lawyers, Joe especially distinguished himself.

Throughout his course, Joe has shown to us that he possesses character as well as intelligence. Socially he was agreeable, likeable and a sincere friend to all his class- mates.

However, the war is over, and we are wont to remember Jack rather for his good services during Sophomore, when, time and again he saved us from being called on in repetition by drawing our professor into a discussion which would be stopped only by the tentillation of the bell. During those often hotlj ' -debated arguments. Jack was merely putting to a practical use the principles he had learned in the Brosnahan Debating Society during his Freshman year. Once Philippi had been passed, Mac made rapid progress in his philosophical studies, though the same could not be said about his daily progress towards Lake Street. A native of South Boston, he took special interest in Ethics, for this science fur- nished him with arguments against the dry law amendments. The training he had received at Plattsburg greatly aided him when he became President of the South Boston B. C. Club, and to his wise and skill- ful direction of the organization was largely due the credit for making the B. C. function the gala event in the social life of his district. Mac ' s steadiness in class and success as a leader causes us to expect him to reflect much credit on himself, his class and his Alma Mater. 1920 SUB TUEEI 1920 JOHN ARTHUR McNAMARA Bora July 24, 1898 Haverhill, Mass.

A sturdy scion of Haverhill and a loj ' al son of Boston College High School joined us on that September morning when the race for a degree was begun. Mac ' s practical mani- festation of college spirit soon made him pop- ular, for during his first two years he lent his strength and skill to the upbuilding of Charlie Brickley ' s famous football machine, and Avas equallj ' conspicuous for his .services oil the track squad. But Mac ' s strong point is arguing. When the boy from Haverhill meets the boy from Lawrence, the crowd be- gins to gather, for an argument between Mac and his chum Benard is worth going miles to hear. Suarez and Scotus would have thrown up their hands in dismay if they could but hear these two arguing upon the Metaphysical essence of beatitude or some similar subject. Mac has been a consistent student throughout his course and has devoted himself especially to chemistry. His work in this science has done much to interrupt the even tenor of history classes in the Fulton room for the fumes which Mac concocts in the lab can be detected in the farthermost corners of the building. Mac ' s rare good humor, his powers of persua- tion, and his loyal devotion to his Alma Mater are striking indications that a successful career will be his. 19 2 SUB T U R E I 1920 THOMAS FRANCIS McNAMARA, JR.

Tom ' s hobbjr was in the field of debating. In his sophomore year he carried off the Marquette medal, and again in his senior j-ear was awarded the Fulton gold medal, winning the annual prize debate and giving him the estimable right of having his name inscribed in letters of maroon and gold among the names of the immortals adorning the Fulton walls. Tom is not one of those who has spent his whole energy in the scholastic line, as is custom- ary with many who achieve such reputation as has he, but he passed through the long ordeal of being an assistant athletic manager for four years. Earl.y in the freshman j ' ear, he reported to the manager of track, and assisted him in the tedious labors of a freshman manager. Though many of the squad of managers drop out each year, Tom kept at it, and in this past year man- aged the most successful track team that has ever represented the college. Besides being an actor, debater, and an ath- letic manager, Tom has won a place in all an- nual contests. In a word, he has been prominent in nearly everj- sphere of college activity. There is no need to predict a successful future for him, becavise a consideration of his zeal, interest, aud perseverance while at college, can merit only the best that the world can give. 192 SUB T U R R I 1920 RICHARD STANISLAUS McSHANE Born Decemer 29, 1897 Maiden, Mass.

The Marquette medal was added to his col- lection in his Freshman j ear, and he was chosen to lead the society during Sophomore. In the Fulton, Dick repeated his earlier per- formances, winning the Fulton medal in Junior and presiding over that august body in the year just ended. His fellow class- mates recognized his ability and initiative by electing him President of the class during Sophomore and he guided our craft with a cool head and a steady hand. He then turned his attention to the Navy, where his efforts to become Admiral were frustrated onl.y by the sudden ending of the war, and he returned to us in the middle of Junior year. It was in Junior class that another of Dick ' s ac- complishments was discovered, for, according to our Reverend professor, Dick was the only one who could read Philosophy notes as thej should be read. But a recital of all his accomplishments would fill this book, so wh.v go on? It is sufficient to say that no smoker was ever so successful as when Dick held the chair, no debate was up to the mark without his eloquence, no class in Psychology so attentive as when Dick ' s stentorian tones filled the room. It is even rumored that Cardinal Mercier offered Dick a chair in the University of Louvain after listen- ing to his eloquent address of welcome on the occa- sion of his recent visit to our college. For four years you have given to Boston College aad, to us the fullness of the remarkable gifts that are yours. You have done well, Richard of the Silver Tongue. 106 1920 SUB T U R E I 1920 WILFRED CHRISTOPHER MaeDONALD Born May 26, 1896 Canada Sodality (1, 2, 3, 4); League of the Sacred Heart (4); Class Pootball (1); Glee Club (1). Pythagoras ' pupils, we are told, never spoke once in seven j ' ears. They have a little on our Mac ; not much however, and right there is why and where and how you ' ve got to hand it to the Somerv ille Sphinx. He never says much, but what he does say counts. It ' s ignoble to become personal, but we must tell you a little secret about Mac in fact we can dignify this secret with the name Romance. He is a veteran of the World ' s War, with considerably over a year of for- eign service to his credit and a very honor- able record with the Uncle Sam ' s famous railroad imit, the Eleventh Engineers. While on the British front at the time the Germans broke through in the first of their memorable drives towards Tommies Paris, the utterh ' impotent called on Mac and his associates for aid, which Mac willingly lent to the detri- ment of Ludendorf ' s plans. Well, right here is where the Romance started. Wilfred saw such a heap of quivering, shell-racked and bleeding hu- manity that his sensitive soul and charitable na- ture were touched and he vowed then and there to become a Medieus. There isn ' t much more of the Romance to tell except that our philan- thropic Friend is now one of Reverend Doctor Shatt ' rey ' s most earnest and leading Premeds and with reason we predict that some day you Avill see his name blazoned in glorious letters of gold from continent to continent as one of Ameri- ca ' s foremost sons of the scalpel and pill. _jl£E? 192 SUB TURRI 1920 PHILIP FRANCIS MACKEY Born June 14, 1897 South Boston, Mass.

Behold one of the thirteen originals a quiet, serious-looking- chap whose member- ship in that exclusive set gives him the ad- vartan-e over many of us. Phil ' ' is one of our best stud ents and a classmate ever ready to help in whatever manner possible. He is a man of few words, but whose words are counsel and whose counsel is wise. Accord- ing to Mae, an unexpected army quizz may help to make a senior ' s life mis- erable, but there are greater evils, and he relates the experience of a census enumer- ator as an example. Civil Society is com- posed of many families, and Phil knows more about the aforesaid families than is con- tained in his ethics notes. As a chemist, Mac bows before few and the sweet-smelling odors that have frequently greeted our nostrils can be traced to our dis- tinguished classmate ' s excursions in the labor- atory as the source. His interest in chemical apparatus is exceeded only by the interest he takes in making the South Boston Boston College Club a success. As one of the higher officers of that organization, much credit must be extended to Phil, whose untiring efforts have helped to successfully put across the cliib ' s social activities. Should the organization not rest on a high social plane, no fault can be attached to such an energetic worker. Many reasons have been advanced as the cause of Mac ' s frequent visits to Arlington, and you can rest assured that the cause is a fair one. If the success he has attained dur- ing his college course may serve as a criterion by which to judge, we predict Phil ' s success in any walk of life, for, after all, regardless of the obstacles that may be incurred, you can ' t keep a good man down. 108 19 2 SUB T U E R I 1920 LEO IRVING MAGANN Bora December 19, 1897 Everett, Mass.

From the neig-liboring- toAvn of Allston comes Leo Maganu, one of those prosperous appearing fellows ui on whom the cares of the world rest lightly and who are ever striving to make life brighter. We do not by these remarks intend to have you infer that Leo is not ambitious and a seeker after wisdom, for our memory would be short indeed if we could not recall the many times he has astonished all by his erudition, especially in Chemistry and Biology. Leo has uot been content to confine his experi- ments in Chemistry and Biology to the laboratory, but has devoted his lunch hours for the last year in administering doses of calories and proteins to his classmates and in observing the effects of hot-dogs and : — ::m ' K, turnovers upon the human system. Leo was a member of the 1919 class, but in the middle of his Junior year he left school to join the Navy. After Leo ' s bit was done, Uncle Sam gave him his release and we wel- comed him to the ranks of 1920. Possessed of a magnetic temperament, Leo makes friends quickly. In fact, we have information from reliable sources that his ability as a Killer is not limited to the Biological laboratory. In the medical profession, for which he is now preparing, there is no doubt but this nonchalant young man is due for great achievement. The great promise he has shown during his relatively short stay with us, together with a remarkable facility for making friends, indicate a prosperous and happy career. 1920 SUB TUERI 1920 JOHN MICHAEL M ALONE Y Bom August 17, 1898 Roxbury, Mass. rator, John Malonej .

We wish most heartily that we could re- commend every member of our class with the same degree of assurance and heartiness that we can Joe Moran. After winning all medals at the High School, he joined us at Boston College where his intellectual vigor has developed. Through- out the course we have esteemed Joe as his extraordinary endurance and steady pace merited academic honors and praise from year to year. As we now stretch towards the goal, there he appears still holding his place in the van and no utterance of wonder shall be made if he crossses the line in the lead. Like many great and wise men Joe ' s inclination seemed to rest in the acquisition of knowledge rather than in the exhibition of it, but on many occasions, when his wealth of erudition has been sought as a last means to preserve the dignity and good name of the class, he has never been found wanting. The nature of his character and demeanor was ever a source of laudatory observation on the part of all professors who were unanimous in affirm- ing that Joe ' s blow always struck the nail on the head : and while mentioning nails in this summary we might note that his abilitj ' as a carpenter is not to be scoffed at according to testimony received from many Noddle Island residents whose homes he care- fully constructed and repaired during vacation time. When honored with the Vice-President ' s chair in the East Boston B. C. Club, Joe directed some of his vigor and interest in another line and he has con- tinuously aimed to keep our name before the eyes of his townspeople. No written expression of encour- agement is necessary for Joe as his zealous and honest determination ever to progress is inborn. 19 20 SUB T U R R I 1920 JAMES JOSEPH MORRIS Born Ane-ust 27, 1898 Cambrido ' e, Mass. friends were in no way surprised to see him blowing tlie double bass in the band. The big- horn looked perfectly natural in his mouth. Let it be said here that Joe was a big- factor in the .success of the band, not because of his musical ability, which was high, but especially by gaining members. His enthusiastic and cheerful spirit won re- cruits each year and innumerable friends otuside the organization. Four years spent in the two leading debat- ing societies have been instrumental in making Joe an able speaker and a sound thin ker. We feel sure we will hear more of him in this respect in later years. Joe is one of those men we are glad to send out now, and Alma Mater will be pleased to have him return in a few years to tell the students how he did it.

He has that sturdy independence which com- mands respect ; this combined with a cheer- ful and even disposition makes him Avell- liked. His course in Business Administration has revealed the fact that he is a natural born business man. His talent rtins in this line and fortunately, otherwise it would be diffi- cult to find out how he can keep himself sup- plied with cigars.

An athlete, a scholar, and a gentleman at all times, he can be reckoned as one of the lumijiaries of the class. We could dilate upon Jim ' s work for the college on the gridiron or at chasing the puck or even as a member of the Athletic Council, but we will pass these achievements by to dwell upon his activities in another and more classic sphere. Simultaneous with the boom of athletics during the past four or five years was a renaissance in the musical life of the students. A Glee Club became prom- inent, a band and an orchestra were formed, man- dolin clubs were organized, and to such heights did they rise that nothing short of a monster eon- cert in Jordan Hall could adequately show forth the development during our Junior year. The man who made that and the recent concert such successes, who managed the details and produced the show, was our ardent, capable, and indefati- gable worker, Jim Morrissey. On these two achievements alone, Jim could rest his reputation, but when coupled with his athletic record they round out an active career which has been profit- able to his class and especially to his Alma Mater. We are proud to have had you with us Jim, and hold you in esteem for the work you have accom- plished for the class and the college. In your case we need make no prediction ; there can be only one result of your endeavors — Success. 1920 SUB TURRI 1920 vineing-.

Joe denied the rescue, but a published photo proved it. Joe is without doubt the hardest worker Boston College has. A faithful, loj-al student and companion, we wish we could as safely pre- dict future success for all with the assurance we can for him. Boston College first, last and always is Joe ' s motto and we know it will continue to be the same, whether it is to find him as a member of the Senate, in the Presidential chair, or the editor of one of the countrv ' s leading dailies.

Joe O ' Connell the neat, sunny, even-tem- pered Cantabrigian is one of the boj ' S who have been with the class all the way through, from the first day at Boston College High School up to Commencement day at the Heights. The caudj ' -kid from Cambridge has always been one of the dependables in class work and despite the modest manner Nature has given him, has shone many times bj ' his ready and accurate answers. And what a brilliant student of Astronomy Okie is ! It has been said that he has found more new stars than are shown in the maps of the heavens. Joe is in fact a star himself and has quite a reputation as a ball player. In Junior year his services on the base-ball squad were appreciated by all who saw him play. But Joe ' s proper element is singing. When Joe and his fellow-townsman Dan Flynn begin to exercise their vocal chords, a treat is in store for everyone in the vicinity. Joe ' s tenor voice warbl- ing the alluring strains of Jada was certainly a thing of beauty and a joy forever to all pa- trons of the Boston Elevated Railway when Jada was the hit of the hour.

Chemistr.y is another liobbj- of Bob ' s, and manj an afternoon has been spent by him in seeking those elu- sive unknowns that look so pretty but are possessed of an Oder that has driven diligent students to seek relief at a matinee or ball-game. Bob is also interested in agriculture and his superior knowledge of the art of tilling the soil was formerly recognized when he was delegated to be in the official planter of the class tree. A sincere and diligent student Bob has always been. He has done his work well while among us ; and we are perfectly safe in predicting that his work in life, in whatever field it may lie, will be done in the same thorough manner.

The mere mention of the name of Erin is enough to call forth encomiums from Bob, while a single whisper of England provokes a flood of con- demnation from this otherwise peace-loving, ros.y-cheeked lad.

Mathematics, our Waterloo, winning prize after prize. When Okie came to philosophj he was in his glory. In all class matters moreover his opinions proved most valuable. Aside from his studies, Con has made him- self valuable and leading member of the B. C. Band and as such is an all round musician. He is not only adept at tickling the ivories but he can make a hit on anj musical instrument. ' ' Okie ' ' is also a star oarsman but his ability in this line is useless to the college because rowing has not j et been officially recognized as a sport. He shines as a chemist and is one of Father Shaffrey ' s class of embryonic doctors. We ' 11 say here that he will never need to put a shingle out ; the whole world is waiting for him. Ability is possessed in a high degree by Okie and Cambridge Mall be greatly enriched when he puts this abilit.y into the practice of medicine in years to come. 1920 SUB TURRI 1920 WILLIAM TIMOTHY O ' HALLORAN Born January 25, 1899 Newton, Mass. spirited discussions ni which Bill always plays a prominent part you will go away with the knowledge that he is a fiery and eloquent de- bater with well-conceived progressive ideas. If the question before the meeting is one of proce- dure, Bill ' s eludications would make you be- lieve that he must have helped Roberts to write the Manual of Parliamentary Law. Or if the dispute turns to current topics you will find him equally well prepared. Bill is uniformly at ease whether listening or arguing ; he does both well. Bill has undergone a wonderful metamorphosis in his four years at college. From the somewhat irresponsible, nonchalant, care-free boy we used to know, there has developed a comparatively sedate and intent young man burdened with pre- medical studies and quite engrossed with the important side of life.

For four years Jack has been enduring the trials of a commuter from suburban Rock- land and has never yet been heard to make a complaint. Indeed this optimistic young blonde has a habit of quoting that ancient rhyme of Early to bed and early to rise etc. in his efforts to convince the city-dwel- lers of the advantage of an out-of-town resi- dence. Jack is a prominent member and a one-third owner in the stock of that select organization, Faith, Hope and Charitj , the inseparable trio, Reardon, Wilkie and ' Hayre. If you think of any one member of this friendly alliance, an irresistible associa- tion of ideas compels you to think also of the other two. A friendship such as these three have welded together is a most valu- able possession in any -walk of life. Jack has a nature that rarely allows him to get ruffled, but he has confessed that at times it was difficult for him to appear unconcerned; for in- stance, it was always a severe strain upon Jack whenever the Professor called upon a man whose last name bore, like his, the elegant prefix 0. He was never at ease until the final part of the name was announced and some other member of the 0 tribe had the pleasant duty of solving some metaphysical problem. We are tempted to believe that the lighter side of life had many charms for Jack in days of yore. He was a past master at the Fox trot and waltz, and always was prominent at social affairs con- ducted by the various Boston College clubs. Of late however, we note that Jack has settled down considerably and is becoming deeply interested in industrial affairs and the future. We expect to see him one day at the head of some thriving busi- ness and we certainly wish him the best of luck and happiness. 19 2 SUB TUERI 1920 GERALD WILLIAM O ' NEIL Born January 30, 1899 Boston, Mass.

Four years ago, a big, bashful, smiling lad from Boston College High answered the call for Freshman candidates for baseball man- ager and began chasing foul balls, carrying pails of water, minding sweaters, getting towels, and performing other menial duties. Today the erstwhile stripling, Jerry O ' Neil, now a dignified Senior, rejoices in the title of Varsity base-ball manager, a title which brought with it three days ' extra Spring vacation, and a trija to the siinny South, not to mention a seat on the players ' bench at all (home) games. While he was yet a candidate for the man- ager ' s position, Jerry, thinking he might broaden his vision and increase his wisdom by getting the player ' s viewpoint on college ath- letics, joined the football squad and began boss- ing the assistant managers. All went well until the team lined up against Harvard. Then Jerry played his first, last and only game, for — though he did not lose his Marcel Wave in the battle, he became convinced that it was easier to get a letter by arranging long trips for the base-ball nine than by rolling around in mud for the foot- ball eleven. Limited as we are in space, we cannot enter further into Jerry ' s history. Suffice to say that he has been a worthy student and a loyal son of 1920.

The Shoe city has sent manj ' good men to the college on the Heights, and not the least of these is Bill Pashbj ' , the David Gold- stein of Lynn ; who came here in 1915 seeking a degree and offering as credentials for ad- mittance a diploma bearing a Maroon and Gold seal. Bill ' s oration De Prohibitione convinced the men in his section that he should wield the gavel at their meetings and his reputation as an orator won for him ready admittance to the Marquette of which he became President during Sophomore. It was during this year also that he joined the ranks of Boston College journalists and helped to furnish the Lynn reading public with good news. - During the early part of Junior, Bill found everything going his way. He was elected class president and appointed to several important Fulton committees. But after Christmas he found it difficult to get the distinction between essence and existence and to understand why the Federal Reserve Bank was not located at Lynn. Becoming wearied with these speculations he sought relief in the form of phj ' sical exercise and change of scenery. The most logical and economical Avay to obtain this relief was, he knew, to get it at the expense of the Government. Therefore, he joined the Army and traveled abroad with the Yankee Division. Much re- freshed, he returned after a year ' s diversion to grapple again with metaphysical problems. From his presence in Father Shaffrey ' s pre- medical class, and judging from the number of hours Bill devotes to his laboratory work after- noons, we shall look forward, as will the good people of Lynn, to see him one of the leading physicians of that thriving and prosperous com- munity. 1920 SUB T U R R I 1920 WILLIAM DAVID POWER Bom October 26, 1898 Arlington, Mass.

When Bill left Arlington High School to attend the Venard College at Clark Summit, Penna., in September 1916, he never dreamed that Boston College would eventually have the honor of calling him her own. Two happy years he spent at The Venard dur- ing which time he pursued his course of study, to prepare for foreign missionary work. But fate was cruel to Bill, for short- ly after he entered on his third term his health failed and he was forced to leave college and return to his native town to rest and recuperate. But it was only for a while, for, after an eight weeks ' sojourn in peace and quiet, he entered Boston College as a member of the Junior class and finished his year ' s work with high scholastic standing. Though Bill has not been with us for the full four years course, he is nevertheless a 100% B.

We realize that the two years we had him in our midst were onlj indications of what we lost in not having him with us the whole four years. But Sic volvere parcas .

A seeming- ly quiet chap of sober mien he is one of the wittiest and most humorous members of the class even though he does hail from the city of tombs. Bob is an authority on all questions pertaining to the K. of C. His enthusiasm as a k night shares equal honors with the position he holds in the field of disputation and debate. The Fulton lists him as one of her best debaters and (accord- ing to McShane) Pop is especially fond of defending the fair sex in all questions per- taining to their rights and wrongs. Perhaps j ou are perplexed, his face seems familiar? Consider then all the young men who have at some time in the past sold you a ham or a roast and there j ou have the secret.

Owing to his marked ability, he won the arduous position of beadle during Sophomore. The mask of placid features worn by Em leads on to think that his hobby is philosophy, but despite the fact that this opinion of him to a certain degree borne out by his show- ing in class, it must be admitted that he has a stronger hobby, that of making friends in the social world.

Every morning during- the last four years a great big six-footer might have been seen, a few minutes after nine o ' clock, dashing over Cottage Farm Bridge to board the Lake Street ear. The dashing youth luider discus- sion is none other than Charlie Riley, one of Somerville ' s leading citizens and the lofties of Father McCluskey ' s far downs. Charlie throughout his course has pursued a policy of earnest hard work, consistently playing his part in all class activities with steadfast loyalty. Quiet and uncomplaining, Charlie is by no means a knocker, biit it is a fact that he swung a hammer with telling effect during his Summer vacations, for he and his partner, m •Jimmy Mclnerney, have established a reputation as carpenters and builder. At the Philomatheia Ball all eyes were upon our Charles as he skilfulh guided his partner around the hall to the measured strains of the dance and many an envious glance was sent in his direction. We have a suspicion that such grace and ease as Charlie displays must have cost him manj ' hours of patient endeavor. Some have expressed surprise at his skill in choosing dancing partners, but it was ever thus with Char- lie. Don ' t you remember that in the days when Oedipus was causing most of us great pain and considerable worry the translations he offered were always faultless in stjde and elegant in dic- tion? Charlie ' s skill at selecting partners is but the result of his erstwhile practise at picking phrases from the works of Jebb and others. May your happj ' faculty of discretion never de- sert you Charlie, and may you go on in your chosen work winning friends as easily as you have while at school. 192 SUB TURRI 192 JOHN DENNIS RING Born May 11, 1898 Somerville, Mass. letter at the end of the season for distin ished service.

After the armistice, he rejoined us in time to successfully complete his Junior year. Senior again found Lonny a prominent mem- ber of the football squad, but greater honors awaited him. He was elected to the distinguished office of Editor-in-Chief of The Heights, the first college weekly to be published in B. C. Much of the success which the paper has achieved can be traced to his untiring efforts.

Lonny came to us four short years ago from the native heath of Somerville, and it was but a very short time before he had secured a place in the esteem of all his classmates by his pleasant disposition, to- gether with his modest manner. His freshman year was devoted exclu- sively to his studies, but in his sophomore year he became a candidate for the varsity football team, and astonished everyone by his prowess on the gridiron. Lonny had never played football before, but it is im- possible to keep a good man down and as a consequence he was awarded the coveted 1920 SUB T IT R B I 1920 JOHN ARTHUR ROBERTIE Born Aiio ' ust 24, 1897 Chelsea, Mass.

We have three men in the class who per- sist in living in Chelsea despite the terrors of destructive fires, and the many unkind things that have been said aboiit it as a city. Not onlj do they persist in living there, but they actually have been heard time and time again boasting of it and praising it. Not the least among the three is John Robertie. ' ' Rob ' ' came to us from our own prepara- tory- school. He had the air and appearance of a student from the beginning and the re- sults of his studies, while with us, in no man- ner belied his looks. Always quiet, attentive, and of imperturbable demeanor, he pursued his way, gaining the good-will of his profes- sors and the respect of his classmates. -WB ' The outward calm of Rob ' s appearance completely masks the abundant energy with- in. He is a man of action. The founding of the Chelsea Boston College Club can be ascribed to his unbounded energy and the success of its activities to his wise counsel and pep . When the Senior Class wanted a chairman for the Outing Committee, it went no further than Art Robertie to serve as such. From the moment of his appointment, the success of the Outing was assured. Outside of class, Rob ' s chief hobbj ' is to putter around automobiles studying their mechanism with the idea of inventing some new accessory that will assure less wear and more mileage to the automobilist. Perhaps this is the reason whj- that General Motors Company project caused him to become so enthusiastic. So earnestly has he talked the matter over that we will not be surprised if in a few years we hear that he is a leading representative of that firm in a distant land. 1920 SUB TURRI 1920 justice would not be done if Ave passed over his success as a speaker and debater. Everyone who heard tlie Fulton Prize Debate w ill agree Eddie ' s speech was little short of per- fection. His showing on this occasion won him a place on the Inter-collegiate team which brought such glory to our banners in the debate with Pordham. The able manner in whicli he presented his arguments was instrumental in securing Boston ' s hard earned victory over the New Yorkers. A man of character, a scholar of high standing, a musician of merit, an orator and debater of rare ability — is it any wonder that we are proud of Eddie Roddan? These are the qualities Avhich will win him the success that will surely be his. EDWARD LEO RODDAN Born January 10, 1899 Randolph, Mass.

Eddie Roddan holds a warm place in the heart of every senior, and is a general favorite of every member of the faculty. Un- assuming in manner, untiring in energy, loyal in supporting every college activity, he possesses all the qualities which go to make up the true gentleman. As a student he has always been among the leaders, as a partici- ]iant in class athletics his aggressiveness and tiiihting spirit brought him to the fore. The cliarm of his singing was no small factor in the success of our Glee Club and the clear tones of his cornet have been in the college band.

Among the ex-service men with our class, the most famous is vindoubtedly Paul Eooney, Ex ' 18, a native of East Boston, one of the first Boston College boys to enter the service. Paul quickly won a commission in the balloon observation squad and was sent over seas. There he brought honor and glory to Boston College by winning a Dis- tinguished Service Cross for bravery under fire, the iirst B. C. man to be thus honored. His commanding officer forwarded us the in- formation that Lt. Rooney was shot down from his balloon three times in succession, and then went back after more. Why say any more of Doc ' s courage? It is because of other qualities combined with his courage that Paul is so popular. He is a thorough democrat, and when he .was in a po- sition to hob-nob with the society of France and hold tete-a-tetes with the elite of Uncle Sam ' s army, the old doctor chose the friendship and comradeship of a buck private. Upon his return to Boston College, Paul threw himself heart and soul into the work of making his last year at college a big one. Though forced to spend many hours at his pre-medical studies, he showed his loyalty to his new class- mates in all their undertakings. There is no need to predict success for this young hero who has already been a Grand Knight in the K. of C. and vice-president of The Boys of 76. Here we intend only to assure him that it is our desire that his future shall be as glorious as his past. 129 192 SUB TURRI 1920 on the defense will always link Tom Scanlan ' s name with Alma Mater ' s conquest of Old Eli Yale. Tom possesses qualities of leadership M ' hich betoken a future fraught with success. He is the real bulwark of the class of 1920. We elected him President during Junior. He proved to be an organizer, a constructor, who sees at all times a silver lining in the clouds. His impartiality coupled with his keen sense of loyalty and cooperation con- tributed to the success of our class. During Senior we again chose Tom to be our guide, and he has shown the same quali- ties that have characterized his every effort at Boston College. An outing or banquet was never complete without Tom as our leader or as toastmastei ' . To be honored with the highest honors in the power of the class for two successive years is conclusive of the regard with which Tom Scanlan is esteemed by the class of 1920.

Tom Scanlan needs no presentation to friends and alumni of Boston College. His contribution to the success of athletics at the Heights is well known. For two years he was Varsity fullback, and despite his sterl- ing work, he never received the publicity he so well deserved. Tom ' s modesty, Ave have since learned, always prompted him to flee from the omnipresent reporter and news- paper photographer; but during the Fall of 1919 his great work on the gridiron was a IDopular subject at all Maroon and Gold gathering ' s.

Here we have Joseph Eustace Scaunell, the idol of Mattapan, unexcelled bag-huuter of the Blue Hills and chemist. Eukie, as he is best known to us, is one of the class unique characters. A popular social being, handsome, up-to-date, a good student, quiet and amiable disposition are the qualities wc find in him. We cannot claim anj ' gold medals for Eukie in his studies, but he managed to se- cure such a medal by an heroic yet futile attempt he made to rescue a youth from the waters of Lake Boone. It is said that he dis- played extraordinary heroism in this act and performed it in the same indifferent sort of way that mark.s his every move. We have learned that behind this mask of indifference lies an energetic and thoroughly capable nature, for we have seen him in action in all our class athletic teams. It is in the chemical laboratory that Eukie whiles away many of the long afternoon hours. Scully insists that Eukie is desperately attempting to concoct a beverage that will bring joy to the hearts of those who like to feel the kick in a drink. Thus far, his efforts have met with a dismal failure, but this is no reflection on his ability as a chemist. We are content to rest our hopes in Eukie as a future great chemist. He has the zeal, perseverance and ability to succeed. Let us hear from you in that line, Eukie. 192 SUB TURRI 192 George journeyed to New York to eulist in the army.

Within a short time he was elected Captain of the cross- countr3 ' team and thereafter could be seen almost any afternoon, leading his harriers o ' er hill and dale through the Newtons. As George had missed part of his Junior year, he had to forego the pleasure of singing Avith the glee club in order to make up for lost time. Before i he vear was finished he was made a mem- ber of that exclusive senior organization, the Far-Downs. Pleasant, cheerful and sociable, loyal to his college and classmates, we have no doubt but that he will continue to win friends and make his mark when he leaves Boston College.

Li the ordinary course of events, George Scully would have graduated with the class of 1919. He came from Boston College High in 1915 and was successful in his Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior studies. Outside of school hours he had devoted much of his time to the track team and the glee club. On the whole, he was having a pleasant time at col- lege. Then came the war. Recalling the words uttered by a teacher in the Public Latin School when the Revolution broke out, George said: War ' s begun; school ' s done, and on one of the coldest days of the winter, in company with two other B.

Shamon, our sub-conscious mind will call to memory such ideas as life-saver, editor, orator and president. For Eli has at some time or other during his college career acted in all these capacities. On one occasion he rescued a maiden fair from a Avatery grave and was recommended for a Carnegie medal ior his brave act. When the Heights, the college weekly, was launched, Eli ' s reputa- tion as a litterateur and his poularity as a ■ood fellow won for him a leading position in the new enterprise. During class meetings and in the course on Sociology, his frequent bursts of rhet- oric and his general readiness to speak on current topics won for him recognition as a promising orator. But the picture that will rise most readily to our minds is that of Eli presiding over the meeting of the Fulton Debating Society. No matter how turbu- lent the session, his quick wit and cool- headedness gave him the mastery on all occasions. Not even the filibustering of the lobbyists led by the fiery-tongued Caesar could move our president. We believe that Eli intends to studj- law, and when he takes his place on the bench or at the bar, we know that the zeal for the right and his fearlessness in advocating it, which have characterized him while with us, will place him high in the ranks of his profession. 1920 SUB T U R R I 1920 THOMAS FRANCIS SHAW Born Aug ' ust 18, 1900 Boston, Mass.

His course, as you can readily see fr om the long list of activities above, has been a busy one. During the football seasons, of our Fresh- man, Sophomore and Junior years, Tom en- dured the trials and tribitlations of an assistant manager. He chased footballs, watched sweaters, and performed all the other humble duties that fall to the lot of an aspirant for managerial honors on a varsity team. But through it all, Tom retained his cheerful disposition and in the end received his reward — the honor of managing the greatest football team ever produced at Boston College, and the joy of seeing the team he man- aged beat Yale, Georgetown and Holy Cross. The glory of his success did not, however, turn Tom ' s head or draw his attention from the scholastic side of college life. Throughout his course he has been one of the mo t ponular fellows in school, and his work in class has always won him a place with the leaders. When school closed after Sophomore year, Tom was selected to go to Plattsburg, and on his return in the Fall was made a Captain in the S. A. T. C. Even in that unenviable position, Tom lost none of his popularity and esteem, but showed himself white all the way through. In later years we expect to hail Tom Shaw one of our most prominent citizens. The perseverance that carried him through to victory as football manager, the excellence of his work in class, and the cheerful, hearty good-nature he has always shown, indicate that success will be his in any- thing he undertakes. Carry on, Tom. 192 SUB T U R E I 1 920 PHILIP DANIEL SHEA Born December 3, 1896 Wobiirn, Mass. Sodality (1, 2, 3, 4); Varsity Baseball (1, 2). Woburn, Massachusetts, is a prosperous hamlet of affluence and influence. Perhaps no one of her town-folks has contributed so greatly to her pre-eminence as her pride and favorite, genial Phil Shea. He is small of stature, but great in accomplish- ment; and the universal acclaim that is showered upon his quiet self by the natives, no less than by his fellow-seniors, attest his prominence, sobriety and popularity. The one mighty item of his career, and we of Boston College glory in the thought of it, is the personal success he has met with in his unselfish campaign to make the world safe for Democracy. He was an active combatant in the World ' s War ; and he saw ' ' the whole show through. We are further pleased to narrate that our comrade rose from a good old Buck over there to a dashing Artillery Officer in Uncle Sam ' s Heavies. Our highest measure of praise for Phil is summarized when we say that he went through Avith colors flying under flre ; and also that he climbed the ladder of success and reached the top-most rung not through jjolitics nor pull, but by his own grit and ability. That same grit and determination with which Phil tackled every phase of army life, when applied in the self-same undiminished degree to future life problems will win commissions of trust, responsi- bility and honor. We look confidently for them. 1920 SUB T U R R I 192 STEPHEN AUGUSTINE SHEA Born January 5tli, 1899 Lynn, Mass. acquired the material for those delightful stories he loves to tell.

It is a pleasure to number fellows like Steve among one ' s friends, and we feel confident that he will one day hit a high mark in whatever pursuit may be his choice.

In Sophomore, Steve ' s time was taken up with an investi- gation of the plight of unhappy Oedipus and the reasons why Milo should have been ac- quitted. But in Junior, his peaceful life was interrupted by the harsh note of war, and for two months he did ' ' Squads right !

When big ' , blonde Jack Sheehan entered the Junior class at Boston College in 1917, after having attended Cambridge Latin and BridgeAvater Normal Schols, he was immedi- ately singled out bj Coach Charlie Brickley to be a tackle on the football team, and after we had seen him play a few games we knew the reason for the coach ' s choice. When the season ended. Jack lost little time in enter- ing the service. Utilizing his ability to ham- mer the enemy ' s line, he joined the heavy artillery and began hammering Hinden- burg ' s line, wdiich, like Holy Cross, was unable to withstand the battering Jack gave it. After the war, the senior class of 1920, 7 I welcomed him back to Boston College with open arms, and you can imagine Major Cav- anaugh ' s joy on finding Jack with his 185 pounds of muscle and brawn among the foot- ball candidates. As the Major did not know Jack well, he put him on the second team at first. Jack didn ' t say anything, but after the first scrimmage he was put back in his old position on the varsity eleven. For an account of his work during the season, turn to the athletic department and read the write-ups, especially the report of the Yale game. See who got the safetv that beat Yale. But enough about Jack ' s athletic ability. Besides playing football, he contributed to the sviccess of the class ' social activity. His special studj ' here has been Pedagog.y. Al- readj ' he has had occasion to put some of its theories into practice and undoubtedly it will not be many years before we hear that Jack is principal of one of our large schools. 1920 S IT B T U R R I 1920 JOHN ANTHONY SULLIVAN Born November 17, 1898 Worcester, Mass Sodality (3, 4); League of the Sacred Heart (3, 4).

Born and reared in the city which has been termed ' ' The Heart of the Common- wealth. John boards the milk train each morning in order to reach us on time. He is our only representative of the West. Surely, we can think of Worcester as being West of us. When first we saw John at the college and heard of his abode, we thought of him as our cowboy. When we heard the delightful twang which accompanies his speech, we attempted to imitate his brogue by call- ing him ' ' Jarn. ' ' In the little time which he could spend with us, due to the long daily trip he had to make, we found John a desirable and welcome addition to our ranks. Possessed of a winning and contagious smile, a ready wit and a keen sense of humor, he has spread cheerfulness and confidence at all times. It is indeed unfortunate that long hours consumed in travelling to and from college should have necessitated the loss of more of his enjoyable companionship. When the authority for adding the A. B. to his name has been -granted in the shape of a diploma, Jack will no doubt don the overalls to learn the machine shop business with a view to acquiring ownership of a large plant and rolling up profits that will burden the income tax oiEce. 1920 SUB TURRI 1 9 2 PAUL EDWARD TROY Born March 26, 1900 Melrose, Mass.

Here we have Paul Troy of Melrose, poet, writer, debater and scholar. Paul is the tall, thin blonde with the Irishman ' s whisper, which, by the way, won for him many journeys to the smoking room upon request of his professors. During- his first two years, Paul led his class section in the fields of classics and received the gold medal each year for excel- lence in his studies. He could not be denied these, so thoroughly and efficiently did he acquire a knowledge of Cicero, Demosthenes, Juvenal and other renowned masters. In order not to keep this acquired knowl- edge all to himself, Paul joined the debat- ing societies and made things hum each week at the regular meetings. He early proved himself to be an able and intelligent speaker and soon became respected by the other members because of this ability. The monthly magazine, the Stylus, claimed his attention, and for two years now, he has been contributing po ems and essays of high merit and worth. It was in the Stylus room that he become best known with his wicked pipe, pencil or book in hand, and always busy. Following in the footsteps of some more of our former Stylus men, Paul secured a position on the staff of the Boston Post. He has this work in view then in the journalistic field. His application and thoroughness in all his work in college are two assets which will stand him in good stead in this vocation while he is climbing to the dizzy heights of editor of a large daily newspaper. 1920 SUB T U R R 1 1920 JAMES FRANCIS VAUGHN Born July 30, 1895 South Boston, Mass.

Before the United States entered the recent World ' s War, Jim Vaughn was pur- suing his way as a member of the 1918 Class of Boston College. Small of stature, excep- tionally quiet and retiring of disposition, with the air of a student, he dropped into our class this year to complete his course, which had been so unhappily interrupted. He had given the best he had to Uncle Sam while serving many months overseas. Yes, he has had experiences that no one would, suspect from a glance at his peaceful and inoffensive self. Rumor has come down to us that Jim was prominent in his day in the Marquette and Fulton societies. We do not doubt it in the least when we recall the manner in which he solved difficulties during the past year. Every question hurled at him is taken in solidly ; then there is a moment ' s pause, a clearing of the throat, which is followed by slow, calm and deliberate answer that generally meets with the professor ' s approbation. Jim ' s live interest in the Pedagogy class leads us to believe that soon we shall hear of him expound- ing the principles of Latin and Greek syntax in the schools of Boston or vicinity. If so, we know that many a youngster is due to receive a thorough course from Jim, because he has prepared himself well for the task. 192 SUB T U E R I 1920 JAMES THOMAS WALSH Bom May IS, 1899 Lawrence, Mass.

The little giant is the title borne by Jimmy Walsh, the pride of Lawrence, the baby of the class, and the rhyming sage of the far-doAvns in the back row. In stature Jimmy is the least imposing of all the Law- rence delegates, but he does not on that account allow himself to be imposed upon, even by the most burly. When physical means of persuasion fail to gain his point in an argument on the train or in the lunch- room, Jimmy has a happy faculty of being ■ able to cull from the leaves of his memory some lengthy word, quite out of proportion to his size, by the repeated use of which he is usually able to chib his opponents into sub- mission. Jimmy has also the gift of being able to express the beautiful through the medium of language, — in other words, he is a poet. Those charming lyrics which have appeared at fre- quent intervals in the Stylus during the last four years are works of our Jimmy. Aside from poetry, his only other weakness is bow-ties. The neckties sported by Jim are usually of the bow variety and are always faultlessly adjusted. Some one has remarked that Jimmy, when he is all dolled up, is as truly an expression of the beautiful as any of the poems which he has composed. As a member of the Pedagogy class, Jimmy gives promise of developing into a very valuable factor in the educational world within a few years. 1920 SUB T U RBI 19 2 JOHN JOSEPH WARDELL Born December 20, 1898 Milford, Mass. able last court of appeals. experience in the Brosnahan, Marquette and Pulton societies helped him in the successful defense of his philosophy.

As soon as he ended the war, he came back to us and thereafter no social affair was a success without his presence. Ralph was one of the Royals who followed the team to West Point, and having shared the same berth with Jeff Conway and Bo Brawley going over, he played safe and consequently was able to ride home in style, while the other s were packed by two ' s and three ' s in upper berths.

Considering the time which he has spent in the laboratory day in and day out, we do not hesitate to say that in Ralph the class possesses one of the future medical authorities of the country. 1920 SUB T U E R I 1920 JOSEPH CHARLES WHITE Born January 30, 1898 Roxbury, Mass. for we were always with Joe. We will not soon forget the example of sportsman- ship he has given us by his four years of persevering service on the football squad. His work attracted universal attention and won favorable comment in the newspapers throughout the East. Joe is possessed of a blithesome spirit that has kept far downs in good humor, even during a pro- tracted discussion of Schopenhauer and his philoso- phy of Pessimism, but this availed him little when he attempted to explain the non-appearance of the ice- cream at the West Roxbury B. C. Club dance. It was only his football experience that saved him the morning after that merry affair. When Joe carries away his degree in June, he will take along with him the friendship of every man in the class. His classmates look to see Joe in the future, not as a substitute, but well in the van as leader. Sodality (1, 2, 3, 4) ; League of the Sacred Heart (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Varsity Football (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Vice- President Class (2); Outing Committee (4); President West Eoxbury B. C. Club. We will now offer for your consideration one who has g-iven his best to his class and college — Joe White, an athlete, an enter- tainer, the fellow avIio has always started things and kept them moving. Joe is deservedly one of the most popular fellows in the class. Everything he has done while with us has been characterized by a spirit of self-sacrificing earnestness that could not bvit win him friends. When Joe gave his famous impersonation of Bill Sunday at our Freshman social, we all hit the trail, so perfect was his art, and when- ever he decided to start a riot in the lunch- room everybody helped along the good time, 1 !)2() S U B T u n R I 1 9 2 GEORGE EDWIN WILKIE Born August 27, 1898 Boston, Mass. L eague of the Sacred Heart (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Marquette (2); Sodality (1, 2, 3, 4) . If good fellowship and sincerity were ever united with a studious nature, the combina- tion most assuredly exists in George. Wilks makes the long journey from Milton every morning to enjoy our com- panionship and more especially to drink deep draughts from the fount of knowledge. Although George has always kept far from the madding crowd and has been of a most retiring nature, those in search of him never had much trouble in finding him. One had only to look for a group of three conspira- tors talking- and laughing amongst them- selves, and it was a safe proposition to bet that Wilks was haranguing his worthy henchmen, Reardon and O ' Hare. Such an JUI i ' intimate friendship has sprung up between these three philosophers that they were sometimes alluded to as Faith. Hope and Charity. Wilks has also revelled in society. Informants tell us that the lure of Terpsichore has ensnared him in its meshes and that bright lights and soft music bring joys unlimited to his soul. Whether or not there is any foundation to the rumor we can not say, but it is certain that whatever may have been the fate of his heart, he still retains his cool, clear-thinking- head. He is conceded by all to be the most imperturbable character in the class, for no one has ever seen him worried over any diffi- culty, however grave it may have seemed to others. A rather quiet factor in the class, he has been heard to speak only on rare occasions and has con- sistently taken all things calmly and without undue pomp or show. However, it has truly been said that the greatest men are those who say the least ami consequently we expect great things of Wilkie. We will not be surprised if Wilks proves to be another example to bear out the truth of this maxim. €x=l920 Mtn Ahern, Leo D. Aieta, Louis J. Archibald, James J. Barry, James L. Barry, William B.

Clasg of 1921 During the first week of November, 1919, the Junior class elected its officers for the ensuing college year. Charles A. Coyle of Lawrence was elected President, James J. Fitzpatrick of Meriden, Conn., Vice-President, and Lincoln D. Lynch of Rockland, Secretary-Treasurer. Under the able direction of these officers the class enjoyed a remarkable year. Their first victory was scored when the Junior Debating Team, consisting of Harold J. Sullivan, William F. Fitzgerald, and Eugene J. Sullivan, won a hard fought victory over the Senior Debating Team. In athletics, they contributed a large number to the various teams. Fitzie ' s ' toe defeated Yale, Holy Cross, and Georgetown on the gridiron. Lukie was always on the job and paved the waj ' for many victories. Frank Morrissey was Captain of the hockey team. The basket-ball team, coached b.y Lukie Urban, contained three members of the class, Jimmy Fitz, Captain Mahoney, and John Gannon. Over the hurdles, Joe Sullivan and Ed Breau had it all their own way. As usual, Fitzpatrick and Urban, as first string batteries, with Duffy O ' Brien and Frank Morrissey, substitute catchers, and John Galli- gan, infielder, proved important cogs in the baseball machine. Li the Dramatic Club, we were well represented by Morgan Ryan, Joe Pate, Eugene Sullivan, and Jim Donahue. Carey Martin was the director of the band, glee-club, orchestra, and mandolin club. The annual smoker was held the night before the Fordham baseball game at the Heights. Under the able direction of President Coyle and Chairman Rj ' an, the committee put on an evening of surprises and enjoyment. At a meeting held during the latter part of May, the officers for the senior year were elected. Charles A. Coyle was again elected President, with James J. Fitzpatrick and Louis J. Urban, Vice— Presidents with equal powers. Eugene J. Sullivan was chosen as Secretary, with Joseph J. Sullivan, Treas- urer. Under their leadership the class looks forward to a very successful year. ClasiS of 1922 Sophomore will ever be remembered as a great epoeli in the lives of the splendid fellows of the Class of 1922, for the year soon to be ended has been characterized by a happy family life. President James Doyle, Vice-President Daniel F. McSweeney, and Secretary-Treasurer Arthur F. Mullin, assisted by the sectional Presidents. Clement Jordan, Henry McDermott, Raymond Drugau, Paul Duffley, and David Mullen, made innovations in entertainment at the Heights. A problem confronts us in making mention of class members. Every man deserves a lengthy writing, but this is a Senior publication. So let us draw by lot, McSweeney, Dan McSweeney. Dan is the gentleman with the megaphone voice, disrupter of classes, according to others, and still again the cheering- sectinn-humorist and Alpha Mu. We need not recall oiir Smoker. Chairman Billy Torfey, Bill Bigley, and the other committeemen provided a lively night of song, frolic and fraternity — a model of what a class Home Night should be. Ah ! And did you see the boys at Catholic Union Hall on St. Patrick ' s night? It was a genial gathering and all were happy. Sophomore had a general representation in all collegiate activities. James J. (Jake) Driscoll, the famous middle distance star, is one of us; and so is Teddie Madden, that plucky little half-back ; Jim Doyle, class President and guard on the eleven ; Beavan McGady, Jack Heaphy and Jacko Halligan ; Henry Foley, winner of the Marquette Prize Debate ; Walter F. Hyland and Thomas P. Mahan of the Heights staff, and John Consodine, William Rohce, John Carey, and Henry Foley on the Stylus ; Edmund McGreenery, Nathaniel Hassenfus, Paul Foisey, John Carey, George Keefe, Arthur Tieruey, John Hogan, Robert Walsh, William Bigley, Henry McDermott and Daniel Scully are prominent in the Music Clubs, and Mr. Every Sophomore, eminent in all things. On Class Day a farewell will be given to Sophomore, but spirited to the end, the class will take a leading part in the activities. John Carey is chair- man of the committee that will stage a mock Presidential Campaign. 148 ailagg of 1923 Entering into Boston College as the largest Freshman class in her history, we — the class of 1923 — have endeavored to set a standard of achievement that future Freshman classes will do well to follow. Realizing the truth of the old adage that Freshman should be seen and not heard, v e Avere confronted with the necessity of becoming a vital factor in all Boston College undertak- ings without intruding upon the sacred prerogatives of upper-classmen. Into every activity of the college our class has sent its representatives, and that you ma.y form a true estimate of the part we plaj ' ed, let us otfer a brief resume of the year ' s achievements. In the middle of January, class elections were held, and after a very spirited and lively contest the crown of victory rested on the head of Joseph A. Comber, who was chosen President. The other ofificers elected were : Alexander Lashway, Vice President ; William Cadogan, Secretary ; William Daly, Treasurer ; and John Lyons, Representative to Student Athletic Council. It had already become evident that our class possessed many talented mem- bers. Among the frequent contributors to the Stylus, have been Paul Wenners, Francis L. Ford, Frank Barry and Alexander Lashway. Likewise, in the Dramatic Society, we were represented by such clever Thespians as Owen Gallagher, Henrj- McKenna, Joseph Andreoli and Cecil McGoldrick, who, both in the Winter production of Helping Father and in the open air pageant A Comedy of Errors ably demonstrated their histrionic abilities. Prominent on the rostrum were Messrs. Crane and Comber, Marquette Prize Debaters, while many other Freshman have held places on the K. of C. Debating teams. Registered with the Freshman Class have been such bright stars in the Athletic firmament as Swan, Comerford, McElaney, Nolan, Downej% Gallagher, Palmer, Emmett, Leonard Morrisse.y, and Mullowuey. We do not intend to rest upon the laurels we have won as Freshmen, but are determined to make our Sophomore j ear bigger and better in every way. And so on throughout our college course we shall continue true sons of Alma Mater, ever ready to preserve her honor and seeking always to attain our final goal. 149 Alumni Stone walls do not a prison make — nor do fine buildings, a teaching statS and a student body constitute a college. There is no college worthj of the name which does not consider its Alumni as a vital and necessary part of the institution, and the most reliable test of the true value of a college is the de- votion shown by those who have gone from out her walls. Heijce, it is with joy and pride we look upon the ever-increasing ranks of our Alumni. True, they are not the equal in numbers when compared with graduates of older and bigger institutions, but what they lack in this respect, they more than make up in the strength of devotion that they have ever manifested to their Alma Mater. There is strength in unity, and realizing the truth of this oft-quoted maxim, the sons of Boston College have in recent years taken many steps toward pro- during a more intimate union between all those who are concerned in the interests of Boston College and the work she is doing. In every city and town, Boston College Clubs have been formed in order that graduates and under- graduates might be brought into closer contact with one another. The annual Alumni banquet does much towards awakening a still more ardent spirit of fraternity and loyalty amongst past graduates. Every athletic contest, every social activit} is the occasion for a return of the Alumni to their Alma Mater. At the Senior Smoker held at the City Club on the eve of the Holy Cross foot- ball game last November more than 1,000 Boston College men participated in the greatest night-before celebration ever held. Our Alumni have never missed an opportunity to manifest their love and devotion to he college in Avhich they M ere trained. They have watched with anxious eyes the transition from the congested quarters on James Street to the broad expanse on Chestnut Hill. The two beautiful buildings of Gothic architecture, which now adorn the Heights have been made possible by their generosity. The triumphs of our athletic teams in the past few years can be traced to the efforts of an united Alumni, who have labored most diligently and have given most generously that Boston College might be better known. 192 SUB TURRI 192 This year more than ever before, the Alumni of Boston College are in the eyes not only of the undergraduate body but of the general public. While the Alumni of nearh every college in the country have been engaged in raising huge sums of money, largely for the purpose of increasing the salaries of Professors, our small but intensely loyal band of ' GRABS has been uniting as never before in an eifort to provide the funds needed for the erection of the next building in the group which is destined ultimately to adorn University Heights. Architects are even now busy with the plans for a new building. Geographical districts have been outlined, quotas have been assigned. Fund teams have been formed and Alumni captains appointed. Each is striving to outdo the other in making the Fund drive a grand success. With such activity and devotion, enlisted to accomplish its speedy erection, Memorial Hall of Science will very soon house the science laboratories and lecture rooms and it will do much more, it will forever commemorate the services of Boston Col- lege men in the World War and will stand as a lasting mommient to the loyalty of the Alumni to their Alma Mater. Here is an inspiration which will not be lost on the worthy undergraduate — that his college days will be so ordered that he may be found worthy when he enters the ranks of the Alumni to carry on the work now so well begun. And, let us say here, that we, as members of the largest Senior class ever to go out from these learned portals, pledge our undivided support and efforts, and give ourselves over as a small but important cog in the gigantic wheel, working for the furtherance of Boston College.

The college year opened under auspices most propitious for the magazine ' s success. The staff had retained most of its members of the previous year; many new, eager and proficient writers augmented the list. Due to the trans- fer of Reverend Mr. Daniel F. Creeden, S. J., a new moderator was appointed by Reverend Father Rector. Reverend Mr. A. F. Devereux, S. J., Freshman professor, was chosen for the position. The duties of chief editor were under- taken by John J. Lyons, who had distinguished himself throughout his course both as a scholar and an athlete. As in former years the Stylus held to its traditional policies. The various college activities were vigorously supported. The literary efforts of the student body were encouraged and assisted. College events were carefully chronicled. The Alumni were kept in touch with one another and with the student body. All classes of the college were well represented on the staff. From Senior, Thomas F. Gately took care of the Domi page ; James R. Brawley managed the Art department, and in each issue contributed his skilful car- toons ; James T. Walsh was an associate editor, as was also Paul E. Troy, the latter two contributing well written essays and poems. Junior was well represented, both in the literarj and business departments. Thomas J. Bunyon was manager of advertising, and John J. Clifford manager of the business department. Both are deserving of praise and gratitude for performing their duties, which were as tedious as they were unproductive of glory. John B. Donahue, also of Junior, managed the Athletic columns. Thomas N. Foynes supplied the connecting link between the Alumni body and the students. Francis J. DeCelles took charge of the recently formed Exchange department. William F. Fitzgerald, Jr., was also a- contributing editor. Sophomore, too, was well represented on the staff. John J. Consodine and Henry E. Foley performed the duties of assistant managers of the Bvisiness and Advertising departments. William J. Roche, John F. Carey and Francis E. Magennis were contributing editors. From Freshman, two valuable additions were received in Myles T. Mc- Sweeney and Francis L. Ford, and their clever essays, short stories and poems merited them great praise. STYLUS STAFF HEIGHTS STAFF trfte mw AVithin the past .year, a new student venture into the field of Journalism (vas inaugurated. Thus far, the time-honored and highly respectable monthly, the Stylus, was the sole effort of the students iu the literary field. Although the Stylus labored magnificently to serve the purxDose of keeping, alive college interest and spirit both among the Alumni and the undergraduates, yet all felt the need of a snappy, lively and energetic weekly. It would be a stupend- ous undertaking. Would it succeed? Well, let results speak for themselves. The new movement really began during the first week in November 1919. The Senior and Junior Classes were assembled in the Hall and Fr. Treacy opened the meeting with a short address in which he announced his scheme of having a weekly paper at the Heights. Rev. Mr. Masterson who was instrumental in starting a weekly at Georgetown, next addressed the men and won the co-operation of all by his optimistic view of the enterprise. It was decided that Senior and Junior members would comprise the staff and that a four-page paper would be printed. The first edition came out November 19th. Its success was assured from its first appearance. The students thereafter looked forward eagerly to the arrival of each issue, and to the credit of the Staff let it be said that the paper never was late. In its ever-modest manner, it outlined its aim and policy in its first number. The Heights expected to be the soldering iron that will weld us together, link for link, in such a powerful chain of Spirit that a bigger and better Boston College would be the result. It sought, therefore, to in- still College Spirit ; it has accomplished its end. From its modest beginning as a four-page weekly, it has risen now to a six-page edition, eacl],page now be- ing three times the size of the original sheet. John D. Ring, ' 20, editor-in-chief, is deserving of great praise for his clever management of the Heights. Edmimd Higgins, ' 20 and Blias Shamon, ' 20, as associate editors, rendered valuable assistance and timely counsel at all the meetings. James Brawley, ' 20, contributed more of his famous cartoons, thus giving the paper much of its originalitJ The rest of the Stafl: was made up of John Donahue, ' 21, Charles McCarthy, ' 22, Harold Sullivan, ' 21, and Walter Hyland, ' 22, contributing editors, Robert Walsh, ' 22, artist, Thomas Mahan, ' 22, advertising manager and James Donahue, ' 21, circulating manager. Rev. Mr. Peter V. Masterson, faculty- moderator, is to be congratulated for his splendid aid and appropriate suggestions in the publication and improvement of the paper. iHuaical rpni ations Boston College has witnessed a marvelous groAvth of her musical organiza- tions within the past few years. The creditable performance of the Glee Club of last year before crowded halls for two nights gave rise to a great desire for the continuation of this activity. The band, originated in the S. A. T. C- days, was reunited and kept intact by Carey Martin, ' 21. The Glee Club has always been a favorite activitj ' and this year received manj- talented men from the entering class. The Band and Glee Club have been happily united in the past two years and together have been active in making the name of Boston College most prominent in musical circles. Both organizations have visited Natick, Lowell and Newton, while the Glee Club alone delighted audiences at Somerville, Lynn, Parker Hill Hospital and the Philomatheia Club. In Natick, Lowell and Newton, monster crowds greeted the players and new and glorious laurels were won for Boston College. The entire proceeds of these concerts were turned over to the Rector for the New Science Building. The band in addition has generously turned out at every football and baseball game held at the college within the past j ear. Members of the Glee Club have accompanied the Fulton and Marquette Debaters in all their trips to K. of C. organizations and have scored successes wherever they have performed. The crowning event of the season was the Musicale conducted at Jordan Hall in the month of April. The Glee Club and Band united once more and were greeted by a packed house. The program which included several num- bers bj ' the entire ensemble as well as solos by Messrs. Martin on the zylophone. McGreenery on the piano, Mayo on the violin, a duo by Bigley and Downey, and a touching ballad by Mr. Mack was most cordially received and enjoyed bj ' an appreciative audience. James W. Morrisse.y, ' 20, manager of the organization, is deserving of great praise for the schedule he arranged and for the ability with which he handled the details, of the Jordan Hall Recital. Rev. Mr. Robert A. Parsons, S. J., faculty director of the organization, has labored zealously and untiringly throughout the year to bring about the high state of perfection attained and to him is due a large part of the success the Societj has won. FULTON DEBATING SOCIETY OFFICERS 1 FULTON INTERCOLLEGIATE TEAM Jfulton thatinq, orietp Debating is foremost among- the numerous activities fostered at Boston College. Since the earliest days, training in the art of public speaking and argumentation has occupied a prominent place in the curriculum of the college. Here, in the several debating societies, students have received a training of great value to them later in life. Many of our most prominent alumni, both in the business world and in professional life, owe much of their success to the splendid preparation they received in the debating societies of Boston College. The senior debating society was founded by the Reverend Father Fulton, S. J., in 1868. In 1890 the society adopted the name of its founder and since that year the Fulton Debating Society has held an honored position in colleg- iate debating circles. The consistent successes of its teams has brought honor to Boston College and has deepened the respect and reverence we feel toward its illustrious founder. The history of the Fulton teems with accounts of the untiring efforts of faculty and students to make the society reallj ' representative. In its rooms leaders in every walk in life have been developed. The District Attorney of Siiffolk Coiinty and many others equally prominent in public life are products of the Fulton forum. The prize medal, awarded each year to the winner in the prize debate, is a badge of honor and a token signifying that the wearer has triumphed in a field where competition is most keen. During the past year, the society had for its president during the first term Richard S. McShane, winner of the Fulton medal in 1919. Under his administration the society held many interesting debates. The annual prize debate, held during his term, had for its subject: Resolved: That the Anti- Strike act should be included in the railroad legislation. The speakers were Francis J. DeCelles, ' 21. Thomas F. McNamara, ' 20, Edward L. Roddan, ' 20, and Eugene Sullivan, ' 21. The prize medal was awarded to Thomas F. McNamara. During the second term, under the presidency of Elias F. Shamon, ' 20, the society continued the good work of past years. During this term the Intercol- legiate team, composed of Messrs. McShane, Roddan. and DeCelles, defeated the Fordham Debating team. Much of the success of the society during the last year may be attributed to the efforts of Father Cox, who was appointed Moderator, and to Presidents McShane and Shamon. Mr. Joseph Mulligan. Censor of the Society, and Mr. Shamon have also brought much credit to its banners by their work through- out the state, addressing many audiences upon the Irish question. Those who have followed the work during the past year are satisfied that the standards of the Fulton are still resting on that high plane occupied in days of yore. league ■R p M acreb of tijp ■Vmfl %eart The institution of the Leag ' ue of the Sacred Heart at Boston College dates back a great number of j ears. Never in its historj ' , however, could it lay claim to the success and popularity, it now enjoj s. The object of the League is to have each member know, love and serve God better, especially in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar. Great credit is due Rev. Fr. Thomas J. MeCluskey for the efficient man- ner in which he handled the League, in his capacity as Moderator. Under his careful supervision leaflets have been promptly delivered each month, Certifi- cates of Membership issued and recorded, the students enrolled and Promoters appointed and instructed thoroughly as to their duties. Confessions were heard on the Thursday preceding the first Friday of each month, and on the First Friday the entire student body was gathered in the Assembly Hall for formal exercises. These consisted in prayer, general announcements of interest to all, and a sermon on the intention of the month. Fr. MeCluskey was always at his best at these meetings, and each of his ser- mons proved profitable and instructive to the men of the college. On one occa- sion only did he fail to deliver a sermon and that was on the day Bishop O ' Hare of Jamaica, W. I., a Boston College Alumnus, visited us and talked to the League members not only on the subject of foreign missions, but also on the Intention for that month. Everj ' student at the Heights responded to the call for membership and a large number of these eagerly enrolled in all three degrees. The results in- deed have been gratifying. Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus fostered in college lays the foundation for a strong personal love for Him to be kept ever aflame throughout the years to come. of tlje immaculate Conception Founded b.y the young- Jesuit Scholastic, John Leon, at a time when the Church was being attacked by the false principles of Protestantism, the Sodality enjoyed a rapid expansion, and became so firmly allied with Jesuit Colleges that it has become one of the marks by which a Jesuit College is known. This wonderful and permanent growth has been due primarily to the favor of the Mother of God who ever hears the prayers of those who have recourse to her; secondarily it is the result of the Jesuits ' devotion to the Immaculate Virgin and their recognition of the powerful influence which devo- tion to her exerts in the education of young men and the development of their character. Consequently, when Boston College came into existence, one of the first acts of the President, Kev. John McElroy, S. J., was to found the Sodality of the Immaculate Conception, which is affiliated with the First Primarjr in Rome, under the patronage of St. Stanislaus Kostka. Thus it has come to pass that from the time when we became members of Boston College, we have had the privilege of enlisting in this world-wide army of Our Lady ' s devotees. As Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors, we have paid our homage to the Queen of Heaven and have been rewarded by her intercession at the throne of God. At weeklj ' gatherings during our four years, we have sung her praises, invoked her assistance and listened to the story of her sinless life. The example that she gave and the Adrtues she practised have been clearly brought to our attention and impressed on our minds by our worthy moderators, who have sought to inspire in us something of their own zeal and love for the Virgin most pure. Even during our short stay at Boston College, we have had occasion to recognize the power and readiness of the Blessed Virgin to help her Sodalists, and now that we are about to leave these cherished halls, we realize that the factor in our education which will produce the most far-reaching effects on our lives is the devotion to Mary fostered in the Sodality. Jlositon CoUcge Clubg The rapid growth of our College has been the topic of many discourses. True it is that several articles in our book have emphasized our hasty advance and extension in name and numbers, yet they remain insufficient and all too feeble in their attempt at illustration. The fact remains, nevertheless, that Boston College has had a tremendous growth during recent years, and every attempt to trace the causes of this remarkable progress has shown that the Boston College Club movement has been a most potent factor. We at first saw but one such organization, the resolute Cambridge Club, whose aim it was to ever further the name of Alma Mater, and we may readily state that this purpose has been frequentlj and clearly revealed in its long lists of spirited assemblies. Such work, however, was not to reman undupli- cated, and the formation of clubs in Roxbury, Lowell, Somerville and Lawrence proved to be the first step in the noteworthy expansion of these sectional associ- ations. Not content with a mere book-relation with the college and, unwilling to be surpassed by men of other districts, the students of South Boston, Salem and Dorchester also formed B. C. Clubs and, with the aid of the Alumni, have united in the common cause. To-da.y a veritable net-work of these organizations stretches over the en- tire country surrounding the Heights. Announcements from time to time of dances, smokers and entertainments make known the existence and perman- ence of clubs in Charlestown, Waltham. Arlington, Newton, East Boston, Chelsea and West Roxbury. Each has its own individual society and con- tinuous reports received manifest the untiring and zealous efforts they are mak ing to further all things that will bring Boston College into prominence not onlj ' in their own commvinities, but before the general public. The clubs in our immediate vicinity, amongst which are those of Natick, Allston-Brighton and Woburn, have gained rapidly both in members and power. Much joy is felt in reading of the many events of B. C. Clubs recently formed in New York City, Washington, D. C, and Providence, R. I. The strikingly increasing strength and frequent additions of these Clubs give rise to the hope of seeing shortl3 ' the amalgamation of all in such bonds of unity and solidity as to assure the formation of a Central Bo.ston College Club. ttjleticsi The most prominent feature in collegiate athletic circles in the last five years has been the marvelous advance of Boston College and her teams. Begin- ning with the removal from James Street to Chestnut Hill, a Boom was started which has accomplished results seemingly impossible. In the Fall of 1915 Alumni Field was formerl.y dedicated in the same manner that the Har- vard Stadium, the Yale Bowl, and the Tufts oval were baptized — with a defeat at the hands of a rival. Boston College dedicated its football field by witnes- sing the defeat of her football team by the eleven from Holy Cross, our sister college and ancient rival. But this proved to be the last set-back in football that the Worcester College was destined to give us, for Boston College then began the triumphant and glorious march to the tot) in collegiate athletics that has placed the Maroon and Gold standard among the leaders. With the advent of Charlie Brickle.y of Harvard football fame as coach of the gridiron team in 1916, Boston College came rapidly into the limelight of publicity. That season, for the first time in nearly twenty years, the Maroon and Gold waved triumphant over the Purple of Holy Cross. Never since that day has Boston College been forced to lower its colors to a Holy Cross foot- ball team, and from all indications, our sister college is doomed to wait in vain for such a happening. Under the tutelage of Coach Brickley that j ear were developed men who today stand out as the best in college football. The following j ' ear, 1917, wit- nessed a continuance of the triumphs of the preceding Fall and again Holy Cross fell before the attack of our team, this time to the humiliating score of 36—0. War intervened and in 1918, service teams took the place of regular varsity elevens at all colleges. Boston College was represented by one of the fastest and most powerful teams in the East. Tufts with a strong team fell victim to the tune of 56 to 0, while Harvard barely defeated our boys by the score of 14 — 6. The good work of this season was also instrumental in keeping Boston College before the public e.ye in football, and in keeping alive the interest of the sporting world in our achievements. The Spring of 1919 brought a change in athletic policies at University Heights and the success of the innovation speaks for itself. As the class of 1920 prepared to become the Seniors of the College, its representatives re- ceived the mantle of the retiring administration. The energetic and capable Joseph F. Mulligan was elected President of the Student Athletic Association, and Joe worked untiringly with the Alumni Board to put athletics at the College on a still higher plane of efficiency. New policies were proclaimed, and a plan for establishing athletics on a progressive, constructive and more business-like basis was inaugurated. The first progressive step in such a direc- tion was made when Francis A. Reynolds, ' 16, was secured as Graduate Man- ager of Athletics. The work which Mr. Reynolds has accomplished in the short time he has been in office is deserving of the highest praise from all Boston College men. 1 9 2 SUB TURRI 1920 His first task -vvas to secure a competent football coach to succeed Charlie Brickley, who was unable to continue, and he accomplished a coup d ' etat when he signed Major Frank W. Cavanaugh, who had just returned from service overseas with the Yankee Division, and who had already won fame as one of the most eminent American football coaches. The news of this notable acquisition to Boston College flashed throughout the country and all lovers of sport eagerly watched the progress of the Maroon and Gold. The game with Harvard early in the season showed the power of our Cavanaugh- coached eleven. Two weeks later, little Boston College humbled mightj ' Yale at the Yale Bowl, 5 to 3, a victory which sent Boston College into the front rank of college football. Holy Cross again went down to defeat before the strength and endurance of our team and Boston College won the Catholic College Championship of America when the widely-heralded Georgetown eleven met the same fate. With the victorj over Holy Cross was won the permanent possession of the beautiful trophy given bj ' His Eminence, Cardinal ' Council, most distinguished son of Boston College. Among the stars who thus brought fame to our college we mvist make mention of the following : Captain James Fitzpatrick, Louis Urban, Tom Scanlan, Jack Sheehan, John Ring, Jack Lyons, Joe White and Jack Heaphy. Not content with football fame, the athletic authorities next secured the services of John A. Ryder, famous coach of the B. A. A., to handle the coaching of our track athletes. Under his direction, our track team leaped into instant fame, numbering among its members such stars as Captain Bill Dempsey, New England Inter-collegiate broad-jump record holder, James W. Jake Driscoll, who last winter annexed the World ' s Championship in the 500 yard rim at the Brooklyn Armory games, Joe Sullivan, Billj- Nolan and Wajter Downey. With such men as these, Boston College won the Eastern Inter-collegiate games held at Springfield in the Spring of 1920. Baseball at the Heights has been coming to the fore with the same rap- idity as the other sports. For two seasons Thomas Gildea, ' 17, coached the team with even greater success than his predecessor, Bill Sweeney, Captain of the Old Boston Nationals, and the man who started the Maroon and Gold towards success in baseball. During the past year we signed Thomas F. McCarthy, famous big-league baseball player, manager and scout, to coach our teams for the next three seasons. The results our newly-acquired coach has already achieved give promise of a bright future for Boston College baseball teams. Basketball and Hockey have come into their own at the Heights, and in both of these branches, Boston College promises to do well. The basketball team had a very successful season, while our hockey team lost but a single game, numbering among its victims the stongest and fastest teams in the East. Toda,y Boston College stands out as one of the leading colleges of the country in all branches of sport, and if the achievements of the teams during our course can be taken as criteria, then Boston College is henceforth destined to occupy the leading place of prominence in the collegiate athletic world. Major Fi ' aiik W. Cavanaugh, who had been signed as coach for our foot- ball team late in the summer, sent out his first call for candidates earlj in September. The initial practice was held in Labor Day week, three weeks before the college was formally opened. A tremendous schedule confronted Major Cavanaugh, and it seemed even to the most sanguine that our team could hardly break even in the hard contests ahead. At no time during the season were there more than forty men on the squad, but happily many of these were veterans of other j ' ears and were again available for the team. The first opposition that the team experienced was on September 27th, when Coach Cavanaugh sent his men against an eleven from the U. S. S. Utah. Our boj ' s clearly showed their superiority and had no difficulty in winning 23 to 0. The first opportunity for the team to really show its worth came on October 4th, when our boys lined up against the powerful Harvard eleven in the Stadium. Although defeated 17 to 0, the news-writers commented very favorably on the showing of the plucky Boston College eleven. The team was outweighed considerably but fought for every inch with hard and clean football. This was the first time that our boys had ever had the chance to play a Harvard Varsitj ' eleven and the splendid game they played plus the fine crowd that turned out merited Boston College a regular place on the Harvard schedule. However, the athletic authorities at Cambridge refused to give Boston College a place on their card for 1921. On the following Saturday, the team romped through the Middlebury College eleven at University Heights. On October 18th, the sturdy Boston College team met Yale in the massive Bowl at New Haven. About two hundred royai rooters from the Heights made the journey with the team and filled the huge amphitheatre with their shouts of triumph. The next morning the papers of the country carried headlines about Captain James Fitzpatrick ' s 47 yard dropkick which defeated Old Eli and gave Boston College a place of pre-eminence in the football world. That the game was replete with thrills goes without saying, for Eli Yale fought with might and main to turn back the terrific onslaught of the Boston team; but our boys were not to be denied, and, before the sun went down, had established their superiority. It was a sore sight to nine thousand sup- 1920 SUBTUKRI 1920 portei ' s of the Blue to see Jimmy Fitz send the ball high over the goal posts for the winning score but two minutes before the game ended, and about three minutes after Thorne Murphj ' the Yale quarterback, had put his team in the lead by a boot from the 42 yard line. It was an exhausted and battered team that lined up against the Army team on the Plains of West Point the following Saturday. The Cadets were in much better condition than the Boston College boys, and, on a very muddy field, our team was defeated 13 to 0. A large and enthusiastic contingent of rooters followed the team on this occasion also. Rutgers was the next oppo- nent, and in a verj hard fought game at Fenway Park on November 8th, our boys were again forced to admit defeat this time to the score of 13 to 7. However, by the 15th of November, the team had regained its stride and the men who had been injured in the Yale and Army games were once again in shape to line up against the Holy Cross eleven. The team displaj ' cd the same kind of football that had vanquished Yale earlier in the season and the way the backs tore throvigh the holes opened hy the linemen was an inspiring sight from a Boston College viewpoint. At the end of the first half, the score stood 7 to 3 in favor of Holy Cross, but in the last quarter of the game, the Avildly waving banners of the Purple joy faded into a purple of deepest mourning when our team swept down the field and Jimmy Fitzpatrick dove over the last white line for the touchdown and victory. The terrific line plunging of Madden, Scanlan and Fitzpatrick in the final quarter will never be forgotten by those who saw the game. After our sister college had been thus disposed of, we awaited the visit by Georgetown on the gridiron. The Washingtonians came North a big favor- ite in the first football game ever to be played between these two teams. It was in the final quarter that Captain Fitzpatrick ' s toe sent the winning three points over the goal posts from the 17 yard line, after Urban had brought the entire stands to their feet bj a 55 yard run to Georgetown ' s 5 j ' ard line. Boston College gloriously ended the most successful football season in her his- torj ' bj- thus defeating Georgetown 10 to 7. On January 14th, 1920, a grateful band of Alumni banqueted our wonder- ful football team at the City Club. Boston College men from all over the country made the trip to pay their respects to the men of the team. Sweaters and gold footballs were awarded to all the players and before the evening was over Scanlan, Fitzpatrick, Urban, Sheehan, Ring, Kelle5 Doyle, Heaphy, Morrissey, O ' Brien, Comerford, Madden, McElaney, Swan, White, Corrigan, Foy and Mullen received their own individual mention and praise from as jubilant and hilarious a gathering of Alumni as ever represented a Colles ' . Before adjourning for the evening and the season, the players elected Louis Urban captain of the 1920 team. pageball When Coach Doc White called out the baseball candidates early iu March, a squad of more than eighty men answered the summons, and thus gave evidence of the great interest Boston College men. take in the national pastime. At first it was impossible to practice on Alumni field which was then covered with snow, and recourse was had to the Commonwealth Armory which was thrown open to our team through the kindness of the Officers. At the end of the month, the team started on its Southern trip, and on April 1, defeated Fordham at New York in the first game of the season to the tune of 3 to 2. West Point next gave way before our attack and the team advanced to Southern fields. Here difficulties were encountered, and Boston College was able to win only the game against Catholic University, while it was defeated by the Baltimore Orioles, Georgetown and the Navj ' . Upon its return home, the team was forced to acknowledge the superiority of Clyde Engel ' s University of Vermont team, but succeeded in taking the measure of the University of Maine by a score of 9 — 6. At this time the team received a severe blow, in the resignation of Coach White, who found that the duty of coaching the team was interfering too greatly with his dental practice. Captain Billj- Bond took charge of the team, and under his direction the team performed creditably against Fordham, whose crack pitcher. Waters, would have had a no-hit game to his credit had not Billy Bond rapped out a clean single in the last of the ninth. In the meantime. Graduate Manager Keynolds was searching high and low for a good coach. For a while it looked as though he would be able to get Johnny Evers, but the New York Giants outbid him for the Trojan ' s services. Finally he secured Tom McCarthy, an old-time Red Sox player, famous as a scout and manager. Soon after his advent, the team showed marked im- provement. B. C. began to appear on the winning end of the score and Maroon and Gold stock went up. Victories were won over University of Vermont, Bates, St. Anselms, Colbj and Tufts. This book goes to press before we have an opportunit.y to report wins over Holv Cross, which we will leave to the editors of 1921 Sub Turri to record. TRACK TEAM Wxatk In former j ' ears, Boston College had reason to boast of the deeds of her track athletes. On such occasions, her fame in this line of endeavor was the result of the achievements of one or two individuals. It can be stated truthfully however, that never before in her history has she had such a well-balanced team of track performers as during the past season. This great increase of interest in track activities is due largely to the in- fluence of our new coach, Jack Ryder, the famous B. A. A. track mentor. In the short time that he has been here, he has worked wonders. Mainly by reason of his winning personality and his sincere desire to be of service in the pln ' sical education and development of all students, more men reported for track this year than at any other time in the histor.y of the sport at the Heights. It mattered not to Mr. Ryder whether or not the man had ever run before. He knew in his heart that some good could be imparted to the student and if it were at all possible a track star would result. We Viave seen ample proof of this in the general development of the team and more in particular by the noteworthy performances of such men as Sullivan and Breau in the hurdles, and Mullen, Bell and Drugan in the field events. At the outset, the squad could count on a few stars, Capt. Bill Dempsey, Billy Nolan, Jake Driscoll, Walter Downey and Phil Corrigan. These were the veterans around which the team was built. Capt. Dempsej , holder of the N. E. I. A. A. broad-jvimp record, worked zealouslj with Coach Rj der to bring success to the squad. The first indoor meet the men engaged in found them victors in the relay against the crack B. A. A. quartet and B. C. made the fastest relay of the day. On the same day, Jake Driscoll added the Gaston 600 yard trophy to his col- lection. Jake then tripped over to New York the folloAving week and broke Ted Meredith ' s world ' s record for the 500 yard run, his time being 59-1 5 seconds. The next event of importance was the Penn Relay Carnival. The relay team composed of Corrigan, Sullivan, Nolan and Driscoll, journeyed to these games, and pitted against Colgate and Ohio Weslej ' an, won by fifteen yards. At the Eastern Intercollegiate Meet, B. C. came through with a win, nosing out Springfield by one point. The feature of the meet was the work of Sulli- van in the high and low hurdles, ten points accruing to B. C. through his efforts. Jake Driscoll won the quarter and half-mile event ; Walter Downey captured the hundred yard dash, Nolan, the running broad-jump, and Bell, Breau and Mullen won points in the field events that counted heavily in the total. Fourth place in the New England Intercollegiates was the best we could get due to the heavy field. Driscoll won the quarter, Sullivan a first and second in the hurdles and Dempse.y a second in the broad-jump. The entire Student body is pulling hard for Driscoll, Downe.v and Dempsey to make positions on the U. S. Olympic team and the work of these three men will be closeh ' followed during the summer months. 5|ocfeep While the other athletic teams were forging to the front, the hockey- team was determined not to remain in the background. The past winter was an especially good one for the followers of the ice-game and our men took advantage of their opportunity. An enthusiastic squad answered Captain Frank Morrissey ' s call for candidates when the season opened. Besides Mor- rissey, veterans Hughes, Healey and McCloskey formed the nucleus of a vic- torious team, and, with the help of the new men, Garrity, Curry, ' Brien and Leonard Morrissey, kept the name of Boston College before the eyes of the sporting world during the winter. Earhr in the season, the team was handicapped bj ' the lack of a rink in which to practice and a coach to instruct the boys in the fine points of the game. They won their first game against the Yankee Division team, 4 to 2, but lost the next one to Mass. Agricultural College, 5 to 4, after a nobl.y con- tested game which was not settled until after two extra periods had been played. Then the Athletic Board recognized that we had a fine team and soon had a rink built on Alumni Field and secured Dido Falvey, captain of the 1918-1919 team as coach. Under Coach Falvey ' s tutelage the team developed into what was called by the New York Sporting writers, the cleverest team that had played in New York that winter. Not a game was lost. Victories were won over West Point, 5 to ; Boston University, 9 to ; M. I. T., 5 to 4 ; and Tufts College, 8 to 4. Too much praise cannot be oestowed on manager James Morrissey, who not only arranged an excellent schedule in spite of his inability to offer guar- antees to visiting teams, but also looked after the business details of the team with thorough-going diligence. At the end of the season, Leo Hughes, our center-iceman, whose work especially in the game against M. I. T., was conspicuously excellent, was elected Captain and Henry Mclnerny was chosen to manage the team. Prospects for a championship team next year are most promising. Hockey has been increasing in popularity during the past year and next season should occupy its pre-war position of prominence. We shall not lose any players by graduation and when the team is reassembled next winter, we shall look for- ward to a Maroon and Gold championship. 1 . f i [ f f f y ■ € f 1 - f f r « 3i ■ ■ HOCKEY TEAM BASKETBALL TEAM PagkettiaU Following the lead of our more firmly established sports, basketball has made great strides during the past season. The efforts of the team have resulted in the addition of a new and pleasing chapter to the athletic history of Boston College. When Manager Walter Kilej issued the call for candidates early in November, about a dozen men reported for practice. Among these were several veterans of last year ' s team, including Captain Urban, Pitzpatrick, Lyons, Gately and Mahoney, and a number of new candidates of whom Kamp, Smith, Gallagher and Gannon are especially deserving of mention. The team had won two of the first four games played when disaster loomed up on the horizon. Louie Urban, forced out of the game by an injury to his shoulder, resigned his captaincy and Manager Kiley was obliged to give up the duties of Manager because of his health. Then, when things loosed darkest. Captain Mahonej- in a very effective speech convinced the Student Athletic Council and the Graduate Athletic Board that basketball should be made a major sport. Lnmediately Tom Salmon v s appointed manager and received as assist- ant, J. J. Kirby, ' 21, while Louis Urban, though unable to play, offered his ser- vices as coach. From that time on the team started on the road to victory. It defeated such teams as Rhode Island State, Boston University, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Tufts. The team met with two reverses, one at the hands of Fordham in New York and the other from the fast Trinity College qiiintet. Thus, considering that the boys had no home court but had to rely on the kindness of St. Mary ' s Athletic Club of Cambridge for a gymnasium in which to practice, the team rendered a good account of itself. The prospects for an excellent team next year are very bright, as the squad loses by graduation onl.y two players, Tom Gately and Jack Lyons. Manager Kirbj is busy arranging an attractive schediile which, it is hoped will include a series of games with our great rival. Holy Cross, which has recently sanctioned inter-collegiate basketball. tubrnt tijletic ggociation President JOSEPH F. MULLIGAN Vice President WILLIAM J.

A practically unbroken line for more than fifty years of Shakespearean productions had given Boston College an undisputed place of supremacy ' in collegiate dramatic circles. It was but fit- ting then, that with the return of peace and normal times, the students of Boston College should eagerly renew their traditional acti- vitj on the boards. The Dramatic Society was reorganized and the following officers elected for the j ' car : President, Thomas F. McNamara ; Vice-President, Morgan T. Ryan ; Secretary, Henry F. Foley ; Stage Manager, George B. Olson. The Moderator appointed to coach our budding actors was Rev. William E. Murphy, S. J. The society immediately upon return to school began preparations for its initial pro- duction — Helping Father , an original farcical comedy arranged b.y Father Murphy. The play ran for two nights in December, and on each occasion was enthusiastically received by a well-packed house Senior was ably represented by Edward J Finnegan, who had starred in previous years in the Passion Plaj and in Henry IV. Ed ' s masterly playing of Ezekiel Woolson, the would- be society leader, kept an appreciative audience roaring with laughter. Morgan Ryan also as a Spiritistic undertaker played a difficult part with great success. An added feature of the plaj ' was the appearance of several of our football stars as Spiritists. The work of all members of the cast was of the highest order and showed plainly the effects of their manj- rehearsals under the skil- ful supervision of Father Murphy. The Societj ' banquet held at the College on May 2nd, was a most enjoy- able affair. The members of the Society and their guests gathered in the Assembly Hall earlj ' in the evening and partook of a delightful collation. Following the banquet a splendid musical program was given by Signor Rudolf Fornari of the Chicago Opera Company, Mile. Geraldine Kallar of Boston, and our own talented violinist, Walter Mayo. Owing to the splendid reception accorded their efforts in their first suc- cess, the players decided to stage The Comedy of Errors on the College lawn on the evening of June 4th. The back-ground offered by the Recitation Building, the novel setting of the play and the brilliant acting of Messrs. Finnegan, Ryan, Lane, Andreoli and McGoldrick made the evening a most enjoyable one for all. The Dramatic Society has had a busy and profitable season. The success achieved this season is in keeping with the best traditions of Boston College Dramatic Societies.
