Marshal Foch, the greatest hero of the World War, paid B. C. a visit early in November. He was escorted from his automobile to the Assembly Hall by a body of Seniors, arrayed for the first time in cap and gown. A most enjoyable night was offered on December 16th in the High School by the Boston College Dramatic Association, in producing a play called A Day Lost. Walter R. Graham, President of the Dramatic Association, and James Collins played a large part in making the performance a success. The annual ball given by the Philomatheia Club of Boston College to the Senior Class was held at the Copley Plaza on the evening of January 18th and was the greatest social success of the season.

Class History SENIOR T CAME at last. The day we looked forward to for so long. The hour when we should be Seniors arrived. The respect and homage of under classmen were ours. On the twenty-third of September we assembled together for the first time and there was little evidence that we realized that this was the beginning of the end, the glorious end in June. Our expectations of the interesting periods in Ethics were by no means un- founded. The recognized difficulties of the study were lessened in a surprising manner by the clear explanations of Father Corrigan, S. J. The matter in evidences also received due attention from him. Psychology, one of the most elusive of sciences was the subject of many long hours of exposition by the patient and scholarly Father Beglan, S. J. Moreover, he devoted two hours a week to lecturing on the History of Philosophy. Father Mellyn, S. J., and Mr. McMahon gave three hours of their time weekly to Pedagogy and English, respectively. The football team was but a shadow of the machine that carried the Maroon and Gold to so many victories the previous year. However, the season was not one of absolute disappointment. Victories were scored over Boston University, Baylor University of Texas and Marietta College of Ohio. But the crushing defeat administered by Holy Cross throws a cloak of gloom over the whole season. Manager Joe Beaver deserves a great credit for his efficient work and his success in overcoming almost overwhelming difficulties. The annual night-before smoker of the Senior Class, held at the City Club, was the direct antithesis of what was to follow on the morrow. Chairman Henry Smith and his committee presented the best night ' s entertainment ever witnessed by B. C. men. The well chosen and opportune words of our President. Father Devlin, and Coach Major Cavanaugh were appreciated by all. Contrary to custom, the annual retreat of the student body coninieiRpd tliis year on October 18. The purpose of this change, to acquaint the students with the seriousness of collegiate work, was fulfilled by the closer application of the students to their duties. Rev. Fr. Gasson, S. J., formerly President of Boston College, conducted the retreat for the Seniors in St. Mary ' s Hall. Hi- advice on the choice of vocations increases in value each day. Page twenty-six
