Brosnan FOREWORD m The faults of our brothers we write upon the sands; their virtues, upon the tablets of love and memory. — Shakespeare. It is pleasant to think of the happy days of the past, and that which serves to recall them is a thing to be treasured. Sometimes a relic of bygone days brings back happenings in a way that makes their re-living both interesting and delightful, and even the most trivial object seems possessed of the power of flooding us with the joyous memories of years. A broken toy, happened on in an old attic, may serve to fill us with many vivid recollections of boy- hood days, and afford us the magic power of leaping back and living again the most pleasant hours of life. That this volume may serve in some measure to keep alive the happy memory of college days is the earnest desire of those who have written its pages. If, in the years to come, the men of ' 24 will treasure this book as an active memento of the days they spent on the Heights, if the years add each a little more value to the memories it contains, then its end will have been served, and the efforts spent on its production well repaid. Herein are recounted the past doings of the men of 1924. May their future achievements be written in large letters in the book of life. In reading the write-ups of the various members of the class, we hope that our readers will not be too critical. All that is said in those pages is said in good spirit, and if some statements appear to be exaggerated, let the reader take them cum grano salis. Though all the fond hopes expressed herein may not be realized, for the present we are content to be sanguine and optimistic. Be patient with us. Reader. The Editor. Thirteen Guardians of the Gate To the Jesuits Strong ' mid the war ' s harsh rattle, tho ' spent with the strain of strife; Theirs not the lust of battle who fight not with sword or knife. With never a dream of turning, with never a thought of loss. Their bulwark the Faith and learning, their weapon and shield the Cross. Their ranks may be stormed at, and battered by the sinister thrusts of Hell, With a spirit that never is shattered they hold their position well. Sceptic and cynic, defeated, may strike at their line again; They ' re an army that never retreated. They stand to the task like men. Led by their Captain ' s clear vision, they will cleave to the gates for aye. The Atheist ' s mocking derision can never obscure the ray Of light from a higher Heaven that brightens the work they ' ve done. The Gifts of the Spirit, seven, are the guerdon their labor has won.

Jim Jake Persuasion tips his tongue whene ' er ht talks. —Gibber. Our Lady ' s High School, Newton Marquette Debating Society (1,2) Prize Debate (1,2) Vice Pres. (2) Fulton Debating Society (3,4) InterCollegiate Debating Team (3) Oratorial Contest (2,3,4) College Band (1,2) Glee Club (1,2) Sodality B. V. M. Sub Turri Staff (4) Many illustrious men has the city of Newton given to our ranks, and without further discussion we introduce as one of the many James Akins, or as we all know him Jake. As a brilliant and fiery speaker Jake has contributed largely to the cause of debating at the Heights. Oft have we listened to his loquacious harangues, as he strove in elocution, oratorial and debating contests to add prestige to the name of his Alma Mater. We know Jake best, however, when sojourning in the smoking room we find him engaged in a pleasant discussion, while puffing at his pips, his inseparable com- panion. Jake never loses an argument when he has his pipe along with him to help his thinking. Not that he is always looking for an argument, for Jake is a sympathetic conversationalist, and is noted for his manner of showing consideration for others. He has a hearty laugh and is a good friend to have. Because he is an honest v orker, we know that Jake will win in the battle of life, and certain we are that in whatever work he undertakes he will show himself a true B. C. product and a credit to his college. May the victory be yours, Jake, and keep up the old Abe Lincoln spirit. The past four years have found you a willing worker in class and in collegiate activities, and those to come will, no doubt, find you still the same earnest worker, and imbued with the same jovial spirit of good will towards all. Keep following that same path and you must eventually arrive at success. Who has a match? Twenty-nine PETER A. ALEMI Jamaica, Plain, Mass. Pete ' Bootli catfie beating on his big bass-drum. ' — Yaciiel Lindsay. West Roxburv High School Sodahtv B. V. M. (1,2,3,4) Collese Band (3,4) West Roxburv B. C. Club (1,2,3,4) We suppose that Peter Alemi is a long way from joining the Salvation Army but, honestly, he is so all fired good at this drum business that it might pay the lassies to give him half the collection just to play his rhapsody in D (drum) Major at their meet- ings. Man r evenings the sonorous boom of a bass drum is heard reverberating over Jamaica Plain district, and the natives say That ' s Pete practising. Even in class, he excels in drumming on the arm of a chair. When the band steps proudly out onto Braves ' Field at those football games, Peter makes the concrete stands rock with his thunderous music. Nevertheless, he doesn ' t beat that loudly all the time. When the music requires it, the old bass drum sounds like the rumble of thunder over the distant mountains. However, we shall write no further on Peter ' s musical accomplishments. They advertise themselves. But if you have ever entered a lecture hall at Boston College and seen a studious young man, wearing tortoise shell glasses, and sitting in the front row near the fount of learning, you have beheld this same Peter Alemi. He looks very serious until he laughs, and then he doesn ' t look serious at all. With this inane remark we will close; only remarking, en passant, that in the battle of life Pete ought to go to beat the band. May fortune be kind to you, Pete, and may Boston College point with pride to you in the future. Well, I ' m the only member oj the baiid that doesn ' t have to carrv his instrument. Thirty JOHN J. BARRETT Brookline, Mass. John Tomorrow blossoms, Arid bears his blushing honors thick upon him. — Shakespeare. Boston College High School Sodality B. V. M. (1,2,3,4) Glee Club (1,2,3,4) The Junior Staff (3) Sub Turri (4) Yes, this is the John Barrett of the class of twenty-four, and of the Glee Club, Sub Turri staff and various other activities. John was an athlete in High School, but gave up his early sport activity and devoted his time to the fine arts. It was a happy move, and he has gathered fruit by it and fame for himself in the more intellectual circles. Professor Burke of the Glee Club says that there has been one feature in the bass section of the Club that has saved him any worry about the silver voiced carollers, and that feature has been evident for the last four years. Yes, it is John Barrett, the Brookline baritone. During the hectic season of Junior Week, in ' 23, our mutual friend was a member of the general committee, and an assistant editor of the Junior, the publication of that period. He sings well, studies well and writes well. So be it. He has brains, and with these, plus his pleasant manner of address and natural finesse, we see him seated high. He is a a gentleman of accomplishment. He was always friendly with the men of his class, and of other sections, and we are proud to call him Friend. May the future hold in store for you a goodly share of prosperity, John, and may your work in life be attended by success. In you we are sure that Boston College and the class of ' 24 have a worthy representative. Go you forth and win a high place among men. Hail, Alma Mater. Thirty-one EDMUND H. BARRY Dorchester. Mass. Ed They only live who dare. — jNIorris. Boston Latin School Brosnahan Debating Society (1) Marquette Debating Society (2) Staff of Junior Paper (3) Track (1.2,3,4) B. C. Club of Dorchester (1,2,3,4) SodaHtv B. V. M. (1,2,3,4) Glee Club (2) Sub Turri (4) This blonde personage appeared like a meteor on the horizon of our Freshman year. He at once went out for track, and Sophomore year found him in the role of walker on the track team. Coach Ryder considered him one of his best prospects in this event, but anyone who has ever seen a walking race will know what we mean when we say that Ed should go on Keith ' s circuit with his walking act. To see him wiggling like an eel, as he touched heel and toe to the board track would have brought tears of joy to the eyes of a chronic dyspeptic. Yes, Ed ' s track life has been eventful he even got into a collision with Joe Tribble in which Ed picked up 3,59.3 splinters from the board track and Joe landed in the mud alongside. Ed, however, has done many other things beside this. He started in Freshman writing poetry and several of his effusions which ap- peared in the Stylus would have done credit to a Shelley or a Byron. One particular poem, The Poet ' s Prayer, made Ed famous. Then, again, Ed shone in class, too. He early showed an ability at asking embarrassing questions of his professors, embarrassing on account of the fact that they could not be answered off-hand. But when Ed arrived in Pedagogy class, he was in his glory. Some of the class soon got the idea that Ed was a reincar- nation of . lbertus Magnus. However, Ed had a lot of information to impart, and has shown sufficient ability in class to warrant our predicting for him a suc- cessful career in life. knew oj a similar ease. Thirty-two JOHN A. BARRY Dorchester, Mass. Jack An affable and courteous gentleman. — Shakespeare. Boston College High School Track (1) Sodality B. V. M. (1,2) Brosnahan Debating Society (1) Marquette Debating Society (2) Fulton Debating Society (4) Dramatic Association (2,3,4) Class Hockey Team (3,4) B. C. Club of Dorchester (4) Stylus (3,4) Athletic Editor (4) Advertising Manager Sub Turri (4) Heights (4) Captain of Tennis Team (4) Now here is a man who beheves in activ- ity, and who during his four years on the Heights has taken part in many of the undertakings of the class and of the college. Along literary, athletic, dramatic, business, and social lines, has Jack directed his energies, and in each case with success. As Athletic Editor of the Stylus he has kept the student body informed of the doings of the Eagle warriors. His articles made up one of the most widely read departments of the Stylus. Jack spent his Freshman year as a member of Coach Ryder ' s rapid runners, and later on in his Senior year he startled the Junior Hockey Team by scoring the lone tally in that memorable ' 24- ' 2S ice battle, thereby annex- ing the championship of the college for the team of ' 24. As a Sophomore Jack made his appearance in the College Shakespearean production, and played his part very well. All through his course he was interested in class activities, and his appearance at a class affair always lent color to the occasion. To prove his vers- atility he spent part of his time in Senior managing the Advertising Department of the Sub Turri. All in all Jack ' s years at college have been years of action, and we hope that the years to come will be years of confirmed and continued success. Yes, we take 10% off for cash. Thirty-three JOHN T. BEAVER Somerville, Mass. Jack Beav A mighty man was he. — Longfellow. Somerville High School Football (2,3,4) Varsity Ethics Club (4) League of the Sacred Heart Class Vice President (4) B. C. Club of Somerville (1,2,3,4) Chairman Clean-up Week Committee (4) John T. Beaver is the name he gave us when he came into our midst in 1920. Jack was the designation we chose for him when we got to know him intimately, and he will always be to us Jack or Beav. He is not of the type that attends after- noon tea gatherings. He is, as the photo shows a virile he man, who gets what he goes after by strength of purpose, a man of pleasant determination, we might say. When Jack entered college he determined to make good in football — this despite the fact that he was handicapped because of never having played the game in prep school. Working persistently, he not only made the team, and the Varsity B, but developed into one of the hardest working guards that has ever played for Boston College. Jack made good. Nor was athletic achievement his only success. When the time came for the selection of an assistant to the chief executive of the class of 1924, to aid in conducting the affairs of our illustrious class, Jack was elected Vice President. He is also a member of the Ethics Club, a group of Seniors with special interest in the science of right and wrong. His pleasant unassuming nature has made him many friends throughout the college. With these fine remarks we bid him a fond farewell, and earnestly hope that his success in life will be complete and lasting. The future reunions of the class of ' 24 will be brightened considerably by the presence of Jack Beaver, for we can say in all truth that his merry ways and jovial nature have made him one of the most popular mem- ber. of the class. Hey, Jimma da Kel! Thirty-four DIS? ..„, JSS!llE «|l JlM3!J!| ' K nfesto - - ' x tmi r iir s ,i l EDMUND A. BERGER Manchester, N. H. Ed His heart was merry as his dress. Canisius High School, Buffalo B. C. K. of C. Club (3) Fulton Debating Society (4) Sodality (3,4) 1924 French Club President ' ' Vive la France! Those immortal words that typify the glory and grandeur of the French nation were always and ever dear to the heart of one Edmund A. Berger, Progressive Leader of the 1924 French Club, and known to his friends as Tony. But say what you will, no ' 24 man ever vivified and fulfilled the lofty heritage of Noblesse Oblige more than did this dandy-lion of the land of the Fleur-de-lis. Ed was to 1924 what LaFayette was to the American Revolution. He dared the rigorous, raging rabble of Boston College, that ranted at the raised row of rushes on his upper lip. He was a staunch defender of the doctrin ' e that this was a land of liberty, and not a region of regulation. Hence, for six long months during the Senior year, Ed attended classes regularly, displaying what is known among the proletariat as a moustache. This youth from the hills of New Hampshire, was a thorn in the side of Uncle Samuel ' s postal service. He received more mail during his college career, than did all the other Seniors com- bined. The contents of these letters are unknown to the generality of mankind, but by the process of deduc- tive reasoning, and from the varied assortment of neck- ties and cigarettes that Eddie sported, one would be lead to believe that they contained something besides German marks. Diminutive Edmund! 1924 expect gigantic things of this lad. Whether he is the civil engineer who super- vises the construction of the ' 24 gift to the college, or whether he is the mechanical genius who guides the erection of a mighty power plant on Muscle Shoals, his classmates know with certitude that success is assured him. Why? Noblesse Oblige! That ' s our class motto, and by it we hope Ed will live and act. Get your mail here. Thirty-five THOMAS P. BERKELEY Allston, Mass. Tom ' He was among the prime in worth. — Wordsworth. Boston College High School Sodahtv (1,2,3,4) K. C.-B. C. Club League of Sacred Heart Before us we have a quiet, self-effacing youth in the person of Tom Berkeley. Through four years he has been in our presence, yet we would hardly be aware of it. Despite the fact that he is never found among the boisterous and talkative, he has not been a stranger in our midst, but has endeared himself in our memories by his noble and true character, by his exalted spirit of manliness, and by his willingness to aid whenever called upon. On his part these four years have not been devoid of accomplishment. Rather have they been years in which, by constant and whole-hearted effort, he has gained a lofty position in the estimation of his classmates. Tom is one of our Junior E.. of C. members and as a member of the K. C.-B. C. Club, he aided in the accom- plishment of the undertakings which this club attempted. He hails from Allston where he ably upholds all the prestige his Alma Mater has gained in her long climb to prominence. As a consistent student, by hard work, he finally forced himself upon the notice of his professors. His class work was of high order. VVe look forward to his gradual climb to success in life, for Tom has shown great promise in his work in class. Any boy that can defend a thesis in philosophy as Tom has done is certainly possessed of real knowledge. The training he has received at college should be of invaluable assistance to him in life. Have a cigarette, Jim. Tliiny-six ROBERT J. BOND Dorchester, Mass. Bob Does well, acts nobly. Angels could no more. Boston Latin School Sodality Treas. B. C. K. of C. Club (3) Dorchester B. C. Club (1,2,3,4) Junior Week Committee (3) Intercollegiate Social Committee (4) A picture often transcends the power of mere words in description, as many a writer has learned to his sorrow, in trying to expose a Rembrandt. Bob is our Rem- brandt, and we are the inefficient literateur. For know you, kind Reader, that not only in height, but academically and socially as well, does this youth cover a lot of space. Bob is a man of poise. He represents, to our mind, the true type of collegian, who finds time for study, for work and for recreation. Not in fairness could anyone call Bob a lazy young man. By four years of college association we have learned his true worth, and we know that he deserves the title of being a pleasant, sociable, industrious and ambitious youth. College hours formed only part of Bob ' s daily work. He spent his after hours in employment at one of Boston ' s leading clubs. Thus he profited daily both in and and out of class, receiving a practical aid to his classical education. In his quiet, pleasant way he made many friends, who will testify to his personal worth and good qualities. Graduation day finds Bob entering the battle of life, possessed of the means to wage a successful war- fare. Success has been his as a collegian. As an alumnus he needs only to continue as he has begun. His cheerful smile, his readiness to work, his intellectual ability and pleasant manner should be powerful assist- ants in helping him to make rapid progress along the the road in life which he intends to traverse. It remains for us only to express our heartfelt wishes for your success, Bob, and to await expectantly your triumph in life. So long, Bob. Who wants a job? Thirty-seven FRANCIS X. BRANSFIELD Dorchester, Mass. Frank Honest labor bears a smiling face. — Thomas Dekker. Boston English High School Boston College High School Sodality (1,2,3,4) Football Squad (3,4) B. C. Club of Dorchester (1,2,3,4) Class Hockey (3,4) Class Baseball (3) Secretarj ' Athletic Association (4) Frank is one of the boys who worked hard for two years on the football squad without the fortune to be recognized by the world as the worker that he was. It is just such men as he that put our teams on the map, and while he had no reporters singing paeans to him, he has the inner satisfaction of work well done. Driving, working, plugging for two seasons, just losing out in a first string job because he was a little light, Frank nevertheless won the com- mendation of Major Cavanaugh and the other coaches, and captained the second team for a time. He deserves his praise — having shown his versatility, undaunted courage and spirit of fight on the class hockey team and baseball team of 1924. To show what the boys think of Frank, and the popularity he has gained through his quiet manner, and his steady courageous work, he was overwhelmingly elected Secretary of the Students ' Athletic Association at the close of Junior. He is a true type of man — never ostentatious, but always reliable and steady. Those who know him cannot help but admire him, and we are certain that the perseverance and pluck that he has shown these four years will reward him in life with highest success. The spirit of friendliness coupled with the fight and determination that he has shown at college augurs well for his future. Here ' s hoping that the years to come will be kind to you, Frank, and that they will find you maintaining a high position among your fellows. We ' re betting on you, Frankie boy. Hello boys! Thirty-eight JOHN J. BREEN Lowell, Mass. Jack Doc wish you all the joy that you can wish. — Merchant of Venice. Boston College High School Glee Club (2,3) President Lowell B. C. Club (4) Sec. Sunshine Association (1,2,3,4) Hello! hello! hello! Who has not felt his spirits rise with John ' s cheery greeting? It was better than a tonic on a cold winter ' s morning to hear that hello! and to see the broad grin spread over John ' s good-natured countenance. We are indeed indebted to Lowell for giving us a man like Doc. A popular man is he, and a good friend, the personification of amiability. John has put in many long hours in the biology lab. and the years to come will find him, we hope, a more than successful physician. One of the best remedies that his patients will receive will be a dose of good humor, for John is just bubbling over with his pleasant nature, and cannot help but impart a feeling of good cheer to those who meet him. John has been dispensing this medicine for the past four years free of charge, and his classmates will agree that as a gloom-chaser he ranks with the best of them. The four years that we spent in college were swift and pleasant ones, John, and you contributed your share to their joyfulness. Let us hope that you may realize the full profit of these years, and may enjoy a brilliant and prosperous future. Time, no doubt, will find us scattered far and wide, following many and varied pursuits, but wherever we go, we shall feel that we have a friend in you, Jack Breen, and should we meet in the future, your beaming smile and cheery Hello will recall pleasant memories of the happy days we spent at Chestnut Hill. Greetings. Thirty-nine John F. Brennan stepped into collegiate life as one of the gang from Boston Col- lege High School. Since his advent to the Heights we have had ample time to appre- ciate and frequent occasion to admire his qualities and capabilities. It was from a vantage point in Chelsea that John first took a glance at the wide, wide world. Not only is John willing to admit this, but he declares he, is proud of the fact. He still resides in Chelsea and is still proud of it. It remains for us to remark that Chelsea in turn may well be proud of John. He is well known as a newspaperman, having risen from newsboy to his present position as a special reporter for one of Boston ' s daily journals. Moreover, the people of John ' s home district have manifested their confidence in him by elect- ing him to the responsible office of Alderman. This is quite an honor for a college student. At Boston College John made himself known through the medium of the Stylus, the college monthly. His poems, short stories and essays have frequently graced the pages of this excellent magazine. In view of the success he has attained thus far, it seems reasonable to prophesy a career of value and accomplishment for John. A man as versatile as he should be able to rise high in the world. In so doing he will only be continuing along the path he at present traverses, and will be fulfilling the predictions indicated by his past performances. Mayhap, at some future date, we shall read with joy that the latest novels of the famous John F. Brennan are numbered among the best sellers of the year. Atid now, jellow citizens . Furly JOHN M. BRENNAN Framingham, Mass. Jack — and you must put me in your heart for friend. — Shakespeare. Boston College High School Holy Cross College (1) B. C. Club of Framingham Hockey (2) Baseball (2) Jack graduated from the High School Preparatory to Boston College, aijd then directed his steps along the path which led to Boston College, and from which he will emerge triumphantly in June, the proud possessor of a degree of Bachelor of Arts, as a signification of the well-rounded acad- emic education based on true Catholic prin- ciples, which he has received as a perpetual possession in reward for his sacrifices and efforts. Framingham, a small suburban town, will go down in history as the place where Jack claimed residence during his college career, and proud may its inhabitants be that they are able to claim such a distinction. For four long years Jack travelled back and forth to college from his home; during these four years, in fall, winter and spring, in snow, hail and rain, in sunshine, he travelled unceasingly and if the miles were to be computed he would have travelled over half way around the world. It may be easily inferred that a young man who would so unselfishly exert his every efforts toward reaching college would certainly spend every moment profitably while there; and this is exactly what Jack did. He has even been an untiring student, persistently pursuing studies with the result that he always main- tains a good grade of standing in the office of the Dean. Now as he is about to enlist in the ranks of those fighting for existence, we feel confident that whatever task be assigned to him as a lifework he will acquit himself creditably and will have made his mark a few years hence — a staunch Catholic gentleman, a man worthy of the name Man, and a power for good in his community. Are ' we on time, Jimmy? Forty-one JAMES T. BROSNAN Lowell, Mass. Jim Zealous, yet modest. — Beattie. Lowell High School Treas. Lowell B. C. Club (3) Vice Pres. Lowell B. C. Club (4) Promotor League of Sacred Heart (1,2,3) Secretary of Sodality (1) In the course of four years of college life, one inevitably gains the intimate friendship — jj ° one of his fellow students, and S - H such was the case of anyone coming in con- tact with Jim Brosnan — a friend to all who knew him, a willing helper to anyone who might seek his aid. A good student was Jim, and one never classed as a 2.30 bird, for every day at four o ' clock he could be seen wending his weary way homeward, after his daily research work in biology and chemistry was completed. Jim belongs to that small but energetic band of embryonic doctors, whose desire is to alleviate the world of any physical pain. He was seldom heard expounding his theories and principles of Psychol ogy and Ethics, being of a silent, complacent nature, while in the class room. We shall miss your pleasing smile, Jim, and your good cheer. May your popu- larity and success stay with you in your enterprises in the cruel world into which you are going. Your calling is a noble one, and we know your pleasing personality alone will prove a tonic to the weak and suffering to whom you will minister. It may be that a decade from now will find you among the leaders of your profession and hailed as a second S. Weir Mitchell. That such may be your accom- plishment in life is our sincere wish, and with a feeling of pride we will tell in years to come that you were a classmate of ours at the College on the Hill.

Representative (4) As the subject of this treatise we have Jack Burchill, Athletic Representative of the class of ' 24. John has always shown an interest in the success of B. C. Athletics, and has lent his support both as a manager and as the Athletic Association Representative of the class. Not in fairness could the title of 2.30 bird be tagged onto the name of Johnny Burchill, for many an hour did he spend after classes to help along the various col- lege activities. And this despite the fact that John was a business man outside of college. His newspaper business kept him fairly busy, and many a resident of Dorchester received his daily paper from the hands of this ambitious youth. John strikes us as being ambitious and his readiness to work will aid him greatly in life. His four years at B. C. were character- ized hy his willingness to do his share in all the under- takings of the class. Loyalty such as his manifests the proper spirit of the true B. C. man. As an alumnus John will be the same true B. C. man. Boston College will always remain a part of his life. As years pass on, as trials are met, honors won, and success achieved, the men of ' 24 should ever remain true sons of Boston College, and Johnny Burchill, we feel sure, will never forget his allegiance to Alma Mater. Through all the years of life, John, remember the motto of our class, Noblesse Oblige, and never forget those ideals of life that were shown to us in Assembly Hall. Extra!

Boston College High School Sodality (1,2,3,4) League Sacred Heart President Sophomore B Judge Mock Trial (2) Vice Pres. Brosnahan Debating Society (1) Sub Turri Staff (4) Pres. Mission Unit (4) All hail! the apostle of joy. Dick Burke has never substituted blue eyeglasses for plain ones. Pessimistic proclivities are as foreign to his disposition as feathers to buffaloes. He has never even survived the elimination trials in the contest of lugu- brious competition. And yet, Reader, don ' t assume that this young man is possessed of a happy-go-lucky strain, for he is now rounding out a varied, useful and notable career. Coming from Boston College High School (where he was Business Manager of the Botolphian, and where his scholastic activities were temporarily halted by service in the Army), he threw his derby hat into the Freshman electoral ring and became Treasurer of Section B. Members of Father Becker ' s Sophomore section remember him as the efficient presi- dent of that division; and, as a Senior, he was President of the Catholic Student ' s Mission Crusade. Moreover Dick, despite his onerous official duties, has a happy faculty of doing good work in class, excluding the commission of an occasional error by a Logical Accident. Possessed of a pleasing personality, and a marked happiness of disposition, he is one of the most popular members of the class, — and withal, a regular fellow, a totus in se. Horace once said to his patron Maecenas, While I am your companion, I shall have none of that anxiety, which takes possession of those who are absent from you. And the composite vocal message of the massed Senior class reechoes this sentiment in regard to Dick. Tlie prisoner is discharged. Forty-four EDWARD J. CALLAHAN Brookline, Mass. Ed Study is like the heaven ' s glorious sun. — Shakespeare. Boston Latin School Brosnahan Debating Society (1) Vice Pres. Brosnahan (1) Marquette Debating Society (2) Prefect SodaUty (1,2) Shining amid the glamor of modern superficiality of friendship, intellectual at- tainments and character, we soon learned to appreciate the depth and beauty of true friendship with one whose sympathetic nature and varied talents made him a joyous companion in times of happiness, and a stalwart champion when oppressed by the hand of trouble. His remarkable abili- ties in many lines of endeavor were so tempered by a kindly spirit of quiet self- repression, that less lustrous lights at times beamed more brilliantly, but to those who enjoyed the privilege of a knowledge of his true worth, gained by a friendship of four years, there can be no more valuable acquisition or treasured memory through life ' s measured span than a friendship with such as he. I wonder, when in the days to come experience will have taught the vainness and stuccoed shallowness of a deceptive world, if the remembrance of the unswerving friendship and lofty principles of his character will not renew the vigor and freshness of our college ideals. He symbolized in his harmonized development the aim of a liberal education, but beneath all this he possessed something more, which was strengthened only by a cultural training, but was his by nature, a noble character, guided by a lofty vision, which left its mark on all with whom he came in contact. Here we are, Ed, at the parting of the ways. To the world we send you, confident that you will ably represent the class and the college. Give me a light. Forty-five EUGENE J. CAMPBELL Roxbury, Mass.

Club (1,2,3,4) There was one outstanding feature in the Boston Elevated car service while 1924 was in the process of educational construction, and that was the 8.45 a.m. special from Hb V Jy ' V H Dudley Street, that established the splendid L V record of allowing the Hitesites from | m N« T J V M Roxbury and Dorchester to remain on Fr. Fitzpatrick ' s honor roll, during their event- ful careers at B. C. To Eugene J. Campbell must be given the credit for this almost unbelievable performance. For it was Gene who coached and coaxed the motor- man to step on it, and help to establish a mark which will ever remain unbroken in the history of the Boston Elevated service. Scholar and athlete. That ' s when a man ' s a true B. C. man. Cav took Eugene when all the lad had was puerility and ambition. When that memorable football campaign of 1923 ended, this youth from Roxbury had virility and more ambition. Ambitions come into every man ' s life, and Gene is no exception to the rule. He has that plug hard quality that is characteristic of American Roxburyites. Forsooth, the Campbell boy may have his ambition realized before the ink is dry on this paper. Again it may be later that he grabs the cuff of old man success, but eventually we hope Gene will catch him. His classmates are not at all in doubt as to his ulti- mate success. Whatever be his pathway in life, ' 24 to a man wishes him the best of luck, and bequeathes him the heritage of Noblesse Oblige. Can ' t yon go a little faster? Forty-six FRANCIS J. CAMPBELL Charlestown, Mass. Frank Here ' s a man, let me conclude, a man. — Browning. Boston College High School Sodality B. V. M. (1,2,3,4) Glee Club (2,3) Heights Staff (3,4) Track (4) League of the Sacred Heart (1,2,3,4) B. C. Club of Charlestown (1,2,3,4) Here is a Charlestown youth, a credit to that place and a true son of Boston College. Frank Campbell is one of the bright lights of the Class of ' 24, and one of the leading students of philosophy in the college. Frank has stood high in all his classes, and his name has adorned the honor roll for four years. But do not picture Frank as the proverbial book worm. No sunnier personality ever left the shadow of Bunker Hill than Frank. His cheery smile and hearty greet- ing are lavished on all who come in contact with him, and Frank in turn is always sure of a warm welcome from his many friends. The qualities that count for success belong to Frank Campbell in large measure. He is possessed of a good logical intellect, a thirst for knowledge, and a persistence that overcomes all obstacles. In addition he is a large-hearted generous young man, and deserving of all he acquires. Your work at B. C. has been done well, Frank, and your four years were years of profit. May the future hold in store for you the rewards that are given to honest merit, and which we believe must ultimately be yours. In leaving Boston College you leave behind you a consistent record of work well done, a record that predicts success in years to come. That this success may come to you in the highest measure is the wish of us, your friends and classmates. The disjunction is complete. Forty-seven JOSEPH P. CANNON Cambridge, Mass. Joe And on their own merits, modest men are dumb. — CoLMAN. Brosnahan Debating Society (1) Fulton Debating Society Sodality B. V. M. (1,2,3,4) League of the Sacred Heart (1,2,3,4) Cambridge B. C. Club (1,2,3,4) Track (A) Class Football (4) We were about to quote something on the Blush of youth anent the subject of our present theme. But far be it from us to be numbered among the apostles of the obvious — especially when we can say things about our classmate from Cambridge which his classic exterior does not reveal. As hinted above, Joe comes from the University town, across the tides, which he left at an early age, as the biographers say, to come to us. Here he has found time to engage himself in the extra curriculum pursuits which are decidedly to his credit, and the more since they have not been allowed to interfere with the demands of said curriculum. To be more analytic, we know Joe to be characterized by a steadiness of tem- perament, an earnestness of purpose, which should be distinctly valuable to him in future years. Frankly, as implied above, Joe is a trifle inclined to underestimate his own merits — a rare fault. How- ever, four years ' association with him at the Heights convince us that the future will reveal to him the error of such a modest self-appraisal — which will be only an act of justice towards our smiling youth with the wavy locks. May your future be prosperous and happy, Joe, and your success complete and lasting. What paper, please? m NEW5 „ AGEMCY Forly-eiglit WALTER J. E. CARROLL Framingham, Mass.

Club To Framingham we are indebted for a great many things, but one of our greatest debts to it is for sending to us Walter Car- roll. Walt is one of those kind of in- dividuals who think a great deal, do as much but say little. He came to B. C. with but one aim in view, to prepare himself for medical school. Walter has certainly ac- complished his purpose in his own quiet and pleasant way, making himself many friends in the class of ' 24. He has not yet told us where he will pursue his study in medi- cine, but when he does, it will be merely the announcing of new fields to conquer. We are certain that Walt will carry his characteristic genial efficiency into life, and this will assure him of success in the highest degree in whatever branch of the medical profession he specializes. Hard work and perseverance will overcome many obstacles, and Walt has shown that he is willing to work hard and to continue on despite all difficulties. If success is the reward of diligence and labor, then Walt will surely be successful. We leave you Walt, confident that you are equipped to uphold the prestige of the class in life. Framingham, Boston College and the class of ' 24 have in you a worthy representative, and one who will, we hope, bring honor, praise and glory to all and fame to yourself as a leader among those who seek the better- ment of mankind. Guess I ' ll start the next experiment. Forty-nine 31 JOSEPH J. CASEY Dorchester, Mass. Joe Nothing is impossible to industry. — Periander of Corinth. Boston English High School Sodality (1,2,3,4) B. C. Club of Dorchester (1,2,3,4) Radio Club Senior Outing Committee Casey, mighty Casey. Joe may not be a giant in stature, but in the Chemistry department he certainly stands high. Some- one has said that Joe was born with a test tube in his mouth. At any rate he has shown great proficiency in this branch, and we must attribute his success to the hard and incessant work he has put into it. Joe is a likeable chap, and has made friendships at B. C. that will, we know, last through life. He is surely deserving of praise for his consistent work at college, and the effect of his four years of study should at all events be beneficial. We know not exactly in what line Joe will seek his fortune. In what direction his fancy lies, we are ignorant. But of this we feel sure, that, whatever his profes- sion in life, Joe will apply himself with earnestness to his task, and will evince an evident desire to forge ahead. And in all sincerity we can assure Joe of our whole-hearted wish to see him advance. We are confident that he will prove to the world that a real B. C. man is willing to work and to carry on in spite of obstacles. Hard work is an essential factor in all kinds of true success, Joe, and nothing worth while is accomplished without effort. You have shown the proper attitude toward college work, and we are sure that you will give evidence of the same spirit in tackling the problems of life. The prizes of life will not be denied the earnest diligent worker. We sincerely hope you may reach the goal you have set before you. Sure I can make soap. Fifty FRANCIS H. CHADBOURNE Roxbury, Mass. Chad Frank The wise are instructed by reason. — CiCEEO. Boston College High School Sub Turri Artist (4) Class Section Treasurer (1,2,3) Sodality (4) Frank made his debut at Boston Col- lege, fresh from B. C. High School. There his literary talents had been discovered, and time found him a member of the Botolphian staff, to which publication he contributed many interesting stories of the sea, having received his inspiration from the quaint con- fines of Ipswich, Mass., the town of his birth. So, in 1920, Frank entered Boston College with the class of ' 24. His four years at the Heights have been marked by his continuing of his literary bent. His talents also run along artistic lines, portray- ing scenes of the sea, sloops and sailors, to which his many text-books bear witness. During his course at B. C, Frank has received honors in many subjects and has three times been elected Treasurer of the Class Section. Chad is the possessor of a ready smile and a cheerful, happy disposition. He is generous even to a fault, and is one of the most gentlemanly members of ' 24. His literary and artistic abilities show much promise for a bright future, and ' 24 extends most sincere wishes that that future may hold untold success for him. If he should decide to become a teacher, and he is an active member of the pedagogy class, then the noblest of all professions is to be congratulated. For, as we know Frank he has many fine qualities, is possessed of a pleasing personality, and seems to be one of those in- dividuals who have a definite aim in life, and who are willing to work to attain it.

Behold the inspiring chieftain of our musical warriors! Thousands and thousands of people have seen him head his cohorts across the green- sward of Braves Field, strike up a martial tune, and lead the triumphant voices of the Eagle rooters in their stirring war songs. Who is this doughty leader, this able musician? Kone other than Philip C. Cleary, for four years an active member of the class of ' 24, and at various times musician, smoker entertainer, band leader, orchestra leader, athletic representative and Social Editor of the Sub Turri. Those who were not favored enough to witness his work at Braves Field may have seen him at the various performances of the Musical Clubs of Boston College. Phil was the leader of what we considered a first-class orchestra. For two years Phil served as class representative in the Athletic Association. His final year found him engaged as Society Editor of the Sub Turri. All in all Phil has spent a fairly busy four years at the Heights. As a musician, a student, an entertainer, a musical leader, a class officer, — even as Editor he has had success. What more could one ask of a college student? Phil will fare well in life. Of this we are con- fident. He possesses the ability and willingness to work, and success is in great measure a matter of work. May the future hold in store for you happiness and prosperity, Phil ! Some day we may see you playing in the role of the great Sousa. It will give us pleasure to recall that you were one of us in ' 24. Ready, Iwys? Fijiy-iwo T. JOSEPH CODY Cambridge, Mass. Joe Buff Born jor success, he seemed. — Emerson. Boston College High Sciiool B. C. Club of Cambridge (1,2,3,4) Junior Week Committee (3) Business Manager Sub Turri (4) To every ' 24 man, the mention of that name causes a phantasm of a marcel waved youth, handsome beyond words. But his classmates do not stop at phantasms. Ideas have their values and place, and to those who art not of the intelligentia of ' 24, hear ye! Joe, known to his most intimate friends as Buff, because of his opposite tendencies to the great Buffalo Bill Cody of 101 Ranch fame, had little trouble in maintaining a good standing in class, and was found by all his friends to be a model of fair play, and pleasant companionship. Do we think he will ever amount to anything? Well, Buff made good as Business Manager of the Sub Turri. Busi- ness ability seems to be an innate tendency in the Cody boy. For proof, dear reader, compare this with any collegiate annual in the country, price it and then draw your conclusions. Joe seems to have a set determination to follow business. He has manifold opportunities. June, 1924, marks the close of Joe ' s college days. When the great year of 1934 rolls around, and the men of ' 24 are gathered at the festive board in celebration of their tenth anniversary, mark you, Joseph Cody will be there, explaining in detail the financial condition of this great U. S. A. We predict great things of Joe, and look forward with great assurance to seeing him attain a position of prominence among men. How ' s the money coming, Tom? Fifty-three 1 THOMAS J. COLLERAN Roxbury, Mass. Tom Silence is more eloquent than ivords. — Carlyle. Boston Latin School Sodality B. C. K. of C. Club B. C. Club of Roxbury Tom Colleran comes and goes about the Assembly Hall with little noise. He seems to many a very reticent youth. This is not true, however, as he is merely non- -- _ obtrusive. I I BM H Entering from Latin School four years f 4 H H  ' ' Tom made a good impression from mm m | beginning of his college career. When MM Hfl j H he applies himself to a problem he usually finishes it successfully, as those who sat near him in Physics will readily testify. To the people of Roxbury he is known as a gentleman. He never goes where he thinks he is unwelcome, and he is famous for attending to his own business. Among his recreational accomplishments, pool takes a prominent place. His knowledge of plays is uncanny. His companions thought that it would be easy to take him in during his Freshman j ' ear, but they changed their minds very soon. In fact, people generally avoid him when looking for someone to take in. To hear Tom talk is to admire his intellectual capacities and wit. We conclude that Tom Colleran is a gentleman, a wit and a good friend, who shall occupy an honored place in the hearts of his present and future friends. He leaves Boston College equipped to make a name for himself in life. He takes with him memories of pleasant days of the past and the sincere wishes of his classmates for his future prosperity. We hope that his path in life will be marked by worthy effort and will lead to his assum- ing a place of trust, honor and confidence among men. Good-bye, Tom, and the best of luck!

Club (1,2,3,4) Hear ye! hear ye! before us we have a species expressa of the Champion of Con- necticut — T. Maxwell Connelly. Max, as he is known to both faculty and students, is one of the outstanding figures of ' 24. His genial manner, his pleasant ways, his will- ingness to work and his ability to do things have established him as a real B. C. man. The deeds he has performed at B. C. bear sufficient testimony to the worth of Max. To work has been characteristic of Max all through his course. His days were full of activity. Between classes he aided in providing service at the College Lunch Room. After class he could generally be found pounding a typewriter in the Heights office. When not at work here he was often covering an assignment for the same paper. As Sporting Editor of the Heights he was kept very busy, but Max ' s efficient work won him the high office of Editor-in-Chief. Under his con- trol the Heights was a real live news organ. It gave the college an eight-page weekly that was full of news and interest. Max was also a member of the Sub Turri Staff. From the above one can gather that Max was a busy man. To predict success for such a willing worker is an easy task. When we recall the interest that Max showed in class lectures, we know that he possesses all the qualities requisite for doing well in life. His literary and journalistic experience, his philosophic training, his pleasing personality and his ambitious and perse- vering nature will all tend to carry him onward to a high position in whatever profession he enters. We are confident that Max will ably uphold the prestige of Alma Mater and the class of ' 24. Here ' s an assignment for you. Fifty-five MICHAEL J. CONNOLLY Brighton, Mass. Mike No man is born into the world whose work is not born with him. There is always work ' ' — Lowell. Boston College High School Here ' s one of the busiest men in the class. Mike is one of the boys who has outside business interests and strives to gain a college education at the same time. In the mornings Mike trudges his way up the hill to the college. His day is spent in class room and chemistry laboratory. After class hours he backs the taxi-cab out of the garage, and goes off to gather a few dollars. That ' s the spirit of a true worker, say we. Mike is a pleasant young man, jovial and good-natured. When the war was ended, and Mike was discharged from the service, he decided to continue his neglected education, and time found him enrolled at the Heights with the class of ' 24. The class has welcomed Mike, and has found him a likeable and sociable member. The friends he has made at the college will vouch for Mike ' s ability, and will remember him for his sunny disposition and merry ways. Still, Mike w-as a worker, and toiled many long hours in the chemistry rooms analyzing and experi- menting with all sorts of chemicals. Perhaps he was trying to discover a substitute for gasoline to use in his taxi-cab. If work and perseverance count for anything, Mike will succeed in life. He has already shown the qualities of a worker. We can picture him in future years, as the head of the Eagle Taxi Com- pany, dotting the streets of Boston with his maroon and gold cabs. We can picture Mike sitting in his Brighton office, smoking a cigar and directing the workings of his huge company. Whether this dream comes true or not, we hope that Mike will have a goodly measure of success in life, and that he will show the proper spirit of a true son of Boston Col- lege, and will live up to the ideals fostered by Alma Mater.

Then a hasty lunch, another class session, and nothing to do the rest of the day but work, study, play, eat and sleep.

Club of Salem Sodality League of the Sacred Heart Glee Club (1,2,3) Radio Club (1,2,3,4) Marquette (2) There are two things for which Salem is famous, namely the Witches and Walter Conway, that affable youth, scholar and violinist, whose countenance greets you on this page. When Walter came to Boston College in 1920 he soon gained distinction for his re- markable ability as a violinist, and for his genial companionship, which has been our prized possession for the past four years. He has the happy, or unhappy (depending on the angle from which you are look- ing at it) faculty of asking questions and proposing difficulties to the Professors, which has made many a class the more enjoyable for his classmates, and all this in the true and honest spirit of an earnest and eager student. As a violinist, he has done yeoman service in the college orchestra, and more than once demonstrated the proposition that music hath charms to soothe the savage breast, to soften rocks or bend the knotted oak. In his Senior year Walter elected Pedagogy, and pre- supposing that he intends to make use of his knowledge in this branch of learning in the service of instructing the youth of the nation, we feel perfectly safe in saying that they are assured of only the best who come under his influence, for he himself, in school days, was an accomplished student, gentleman and above all, friend. Your record among us speaks well for your future, Walter. It will not be many years, we hope, before you will have scaled the wall to fame and fortune. don ' t see how that works out. Fifty-eight NICHOLAS D. CORBETT Brighton, Mass. am sure care ' s an enemy to life. — Shakespeare. Boston College High School Glee Club Asst. Mgr. Football Asst. Mgr. Baseball Sodality (1,2,3,4) From time to time our attention is called to some outstanding work or deed of one of our classmates. Here we wish to mention Nicholas Corbett, whom we all call Nick, as another one of those faithfuls who have worked for B. C. As assistant Football and Baseball Man- ager, Nick did his share toward the fur- therance of athletics at the college. Many an afternoon during the athletic seasons he labored to provide efficient service for our teams. Nor was this Nick ' s only activity, for he spent some time as a member of the Glee Club. Nick is a rather tall, pleasant fellow, who enjoys a chat with some friend, while he puffs on the ould dhudeen. He is an agreeable companion, a merry comrade and a loyal son of Boston College. Nick believes in looking on the bright side of cares and worries of life. As yet, Nick has not informed us of his plans for the future. But now, forced as we are to say, So long, ' Nick, ' we wish him continued success along the path he chooses. The days gone by were both happy and profitable. Those to come are full of promise, and that they may serve to carry Nick nearer and nearer to the goal of his ambitions is the real desire of all his true and loyal classmates. Fare you well, Nicholas. You have taken your last daily jaunt down Lake Street as a B. C. student. May you return some sunny day, bearing the marks of prosperity and accomplish- ment, to gaze once more at those hallowed walls, wherein you sat as a member of the loyal class of ' 24.

Boston College High School Glee Club (1,2) Band (1,2,3,4) Junior Committees Senior Committees If letters or gold medals were awarded to the men who are engaged in ten or more enterprises at the same time, George Cor- coran would take the first prize without doubt. We do not know whether any busi- ness director or Who ' s Who has listed all the affairs, social or otherwise, in which George is interested; but we do know that the income tax horror is a cinch when compared to the cataloguing of them. Nor do we know just where or when the name Buzzie came from or originated, but it has been with Georgie as long as we have known him. First of all he is a member of the band, and that in itself is sufficient to establish his standing at the Heights. Next he has been a member or chairman of nearly every committee that is picked, whether it be for a picnic or a butterfly hunt. Next he is the man who sold that bronze seal that hangs in the parlor, dining room or den. Next — but we cannot name them all, for there are many others whose histories must be recorded in this book, and only one page is allotted to each celebrity. To say the least Buzzie is a fast worker; now you see him, now you don ' t; now he ' s in class, now — well to tell the truth he moves so swiftly, you can ' t exactly tell where he isn ' t. He ' s a willing worker, nevertheless, and deserves credit for his energy. And now that he ' s here, and lest he be gone before we can speak, we wish him the best of luck in the coming years for certainly Buzzie will make the most of the opportunities that confront him. Good luck, George. No, these seals won ' t break. $2.75 is the price. Sixty TIMOTHY H. CRONIN Dorchester, Mass. Tim The worker never knows dejeat. — Davidson.

' s Captain of Industry, Titan of Transportation, Adjutant of Advertising, and Ruler of Rings. Here are a few of the titles given to Timothy J. Cronin of the ' 24 class. Some were acquired within the short span of his college career. Others are the result of a tireless and persevering ambition to amount to something extra collegii muros. The High School of Commerce sent Timmie out into the windy, wicked world with a business training. He was not long in tuning in on Success in the com- mercial world, and rapidly succeeded in listening in at the executive meetings of one of Boston ' s well known commercial houses. However, the rhetorical flourishes of Cicero, not to mention the warring legions of Caesar, joined with the logical forces of the Scholastic Philosophers to draw this youth to the college towering above the twin lakes. And well they did! Of course the Stylus advertising department was suc- cessful. For, between Moxie and Cronin, that was some advertising medium. But rings, telephone, en- gagement, or class, T. J. was good at all kinds. The last mentioned was his hobby, and, curious one, what- ever home you are in, perusing this year book of year books, ask the ' 24 man how he liked his class ring. Timmy has made good. His classmates wish him the greatest amount of luck, and know he can be thor- oughly depended upon to chivalrously defend his Alma Mater, and his class. May the greatest of success attend your work in life, Tim, and may you find yourself ultimately at the goal of your ambitions. You can have any size ring you laant. Sixty-one RICHARD J.

Boston College High School Football Squad (1) Marquette Debating Society (1,2) Marquette Prize Debate (2) Fulton Debating Society (3,4) Fulton Prize Debate (4) Inter-Collegiate Debating Team (4) Dramatic Association (4) Fulton Lecture Team (4) Class Debating Team (4) Class Orator (4) These words surely symbolize the idol of the class, Mr. Richard J. Cusick. Here we have a combination that is rare, yet extra- ordinary — a really big man who also has brains. And Dick has both B ' s — Big- ness and Brains. He came to us direct from B. C. High, where he had shown that his college career was to be a momentous one. Dick started off in Freshman, heralded by a brass band and plenty of bass horns. Rejecting campus honors for the more difficult and less thankful task of becoming the class orator, Dick set his goal and never swerved by the wayside. His success in forensic attempts was not phenomenal, but gradual, which assumes its lasting qualities. Recognized during his first year as a man of determination and pluck, Dick finally succeeded in outclassing and out- debating all his competitors until he became; in his Senior year, the outstanding debater of the College. When chosen for the difficult position of anchor man, Dick never failed to make his college competitors cringe before his eloquent and forceful portrayal of facts upon facts. Dick ' s gradual climb to the summit of forensic ability has in no way lessened his ambition to carry on in after years. We can even now picture Senator Cusick standing up in either state or national legislative halls defending the rights of the people and by his actions proving that he is the pride of ' 24 and Boston College. May a speedy, sure and substantial success be yours, Dick. And jurtliermore, gentlemen. SixtY-iwo CHARLES A. DEE Syracuse, N. Y. Charlie Knowledge comes btit wisdom lingers. — Tennyson. Syracuse North High SodaUty (1,2,3,4) League Sacred Heart (1,2,3,4) Pedagogy Lecturer (4) Since the day that destiny decreed that Charlie should continue his course of studies at the Heights, and time found him enrolled in the class of ' 24, he has always stood forth as one of its brightest intellectual luminaries. His slogan might well be written in imitation of a well advertised product, 99 44 100% in class work. Serious in every undertaking, he moves about peace- fully and quietly among his classmates, somewhat after the fashion of the peripatetic school of Plato. Though some distance from his home, Syracuse, N. Y., Charlie occupies a preeminent position at the Heights as an acute philosopher and logician. With a disposition as gentle as the summer zephyrs, he seeks to scatter words of wisdom among his listeners. Keen and logical in mind, he is ever rea dy to engage in a discussion of the separability of substance and accident, or to advance an explanation of the creation of the world. Charlie has a keen appreciation for good music and is a decided opponent of modern jazz. To hear him dilate upon the exquisiteness of the Hungarian Rhapsodies as played by the Sym- phony orchestra is simply dee-licious. That yours will be a life of worth and accomplish- ment, ' Charlie, we sincerely believe. Boston Col- lege and the class of 1924 will be proud in after years to read of your achievements, and will take pride in the fact that you were a student with us on Chestnut Hill. Go and conquer, Charlie, for you have the stuff from which comes greatness. deny your major. Sixty-three THOMAS A. DEELY Dorchester, Mass. Tom Silently he goes about his work. Boston College High School B. C. Club, Dorchester League of Sacred Heart Royal Rooters Our amiable classmate took the only thing that Dorchester had to give him, — a street car — and so discovered that beyond Lake Street was Boston College. The black, dense flow of pilgrims to the shrine of learning on the Heights puffs, slips and saunters its way slowly or rapidly as experi- ence or studious earnestness dictates. The distance seems tedious, the incline is steep and the weather seems to offset the good resolution of more fortuitous times, and so, a few weaken. But, see! striding smoothly up the hill a long angular form with sober countenance, — a student, a student indeed, balancing a notebook under one arm (and lunch under the other). Gentle reader, allow us to introduce to you, in the person of this pedestrian, native of Dorchester, Tom ' Deely, brother of Jerry. Tom is diligent, hard working, and a clever student, and no more can be said of any man. He is the type of fellow that despises arrogance, and has worn his way into the hearts of his classmates by his unassuming, modest and congenial manner. Few things seem more essential to the success of an individual than a spirit of good fellowship, and Tom possesses this spirit, in a quiet, far from boisterous manner. From the patent fact that he devoted most of his time and energy to the prime object of the college, and in view of the fact that he met with success equalled by few, we credit him with the rare and happy faculty of concentrating his mind upon the matter at hand, and the end in view, to the absolute exclusion of all alien considerations. In Tom the world receives a man of thought, and she certainly needs thinkers. Hello. Sixty- lour JAMES J. DELANEY Cambridge, Mass. Jim The pen became a clarion. — Longfellow. Boston College High School President K. of C. Club (3,4) Heights (3,4) Feature Editor (4) Associate Editor Stylus (3) Alumni Editor Stylus (4) Asst. Editor Sub Turri (4) Cambridge B. C Club (1,2,3,4) Chairman Smoker Committee (3) Enter the poet. Without doubt Jim will be enlisted among the immortals of verse if he keeps up his literary work. Already the Stylus has published a number of his poems, and even outside agencies quote his lines. An active likeable chap is Jim, and the antithesis of our early concepts of a poet. Jim holds a major berth in all three of the college publications. As Alumni Editor of the Stylus, Feature Editor of the Heights, and Assistant Editor of the Sub Turri, his endeavors in literary fields have been prolific and fruitful. And yet he found time to engage in other college activities, and there was no heartier supporter of the Eagle at Braves Field than Jim. He served as President of the Knights of Columbus B. C. Club for two years, and was a hearty and willing supporter of all the class and college undertakings. If Jim shows the energy and perseverance in after life that he showed in college he is bound to succeed. His smile, sincerity and cleverness will bring him to the fore wherever he goes. Jim has been a tireless worker, a true student, a real friend, and always one of the boys. In giving Jim to the world we feel that we are presenting a man possessed of such qualities, and en- dowed with such gifts of energy and enterprise, that society in general must be benefited. Jim will surely make known his presence in whatever line of action he engages, and time will, we hope, find him occupying a place of leadership among his fellows. Yes, I ' m from Cambridge. 19 2 4 Sixty-five CARL A. DE SIMONE Brighton, Mass. Carl shall not look upon his like again. — Shakespeare. Brighton High School Sub Turri Artist (3,4) Stylus Artist (2,3,4) Next! In this chair we have Carl A. De Simone, the pride of Brighton. Brigh- ton is proud of Carl, and he is proud of Brighton — a fair exchange being no wrong. Carl received his preparation for college at Brighton High School. Before entering prep, school he was awarded a scholarship, in competitive examinations, to pursue artistic studies at the Boston Art Museum. Carl never took advantage of this opportu- nity, preferring to undertake a college career and the study of medicine. The results of his proficiency in artistic fields have been seen in the pages of the Heights, Stylus and Sub Turri. Besides this ability he excels in other artistic fields. He has been a first class tonsorial artist in a first class emporium, and the countenances of many of the students and faculty have been soothingly smoothed by his agile hands. He has, besides, attained a high place in scholastic pursuits, and as a pre-medical student, he claims to have been responsible for the dismemberment of more felines than Henry Ford ' s flivvers. When Carl can append an M.D. to his name, if we need medical attention we shall know where to go. While we are there, if we feel like sitting for a portrait, he can accommodate us, or should we prefer tonic for the hair or a massage, he can appease our desires. Versatility is Carl ' s middle name, all right, and he cer- tainly seems destined for success in life. And rightly should success be his, say we, for he has worked hard and earnestly to advance himself, and has proved him- self a worthy member of ' 24 and a creditable student of Boston College. Yours be the triumph, Carl. Next! Sixly-six JAMES F. DESMOND Reading, Mass. Jim Dezzie was an Irishman in the Irish business. — Burke. Boston College High School Class Vice President (1) President Brosnahan Debating Society (1) Genial Jim Desmond whose photo adorns this page is a native of the quiet town of Reading, and a product of B. C. High. Reading may be a quiet town, but some of its members are at times quite fiery and vehement. Such was the case with Jim when there was some question of national importance to be settled by a few enthusiastic students of government, while taking their daily after-luncheon smoke. When the subject to be discussed related to the Irish problem, Jim could be par- ticularly forceful and loquacious. To see and hear him discuss such questions with Emmet Kelly was to witness a regular parliamentary debate. And yet Jim was a mild-mannered and very pleasant fellow, whose good- natured ways won him many friends. His many good qualities and his affable nature made him a pleasant companion. It was enjoyable to hear him converse and to discuss with him questions on school and national subjects. We recall that in our Freshman year Jim was a capable President of the Brosnahan Debating Society. His popularity also won him the office of class Vice President. To such a man as Jim we extend our heartiest wishes for a successful future. He is a determined young man, and possesses qualities and ability sufficient to win him an abundance of success. In future years let us hope that Jim will acquit himself creditably, and by applying himself to a noble cause, win fame and honor for himself and his college. Farewell! Jim. Work hard, and let ' s see you win. Well, take it this way. Sixty-seven JOSEPH W. DEVINE South Boston, Mass. Joe Merit u ' as ever modest known. — Gay. Boston College High School Fabre Club (1) B. C. Club of South Boston Sodality (4) Circulation Manager Sub Turri (4) Chairman Senior Class Outing Committee (4) He needs no introduction. As Circulation Manager of the Sub Turri and Chairman of the Outing Committee, he has ended his career in college in a blaze of glory I We have watched you, Joe, since Freshman and have admired your modest manner and retiring disposition, that is distinguished by amiable urbanity and unassuming gentleness. Always a good listener, considerate of others, his conversation pleased because of his kindness and thoughtfulness, without a harsh word for anyone. Joe has one gift that he would try to keep disclosed — a genial sense of humor, which has been appreciated by every member of the class, and which has made friends of all. While Joe has not deemed it advisable to enter athletic activities, he neverthe- less has always been an ardent supporter of everything that Alma Mater has entered into in the sport line. His time has been given over to scholastic attainment, and his efforts have indeed reaped a deserving reward, for Joe eagerly pursued his scientific studies and was rated as a good chemist, and a promising biologist. We have no fear for your future, Joe. With that wonderful personality, and amiable gift of perseverance in endeavor, we can assert with certainty that Boston College will some day be proud to have your name among the many illustrious graduates of the past. You are one man we know who will carry onward the banner of the class and live up to its inspiring motto of Noblesse Oblige. Well, what do you say, Buff? Sixty-eiiiht JAMES P. DOHERTY Dorchester, Mass. Triple Threat Jim ' Tis Man ' s to fight, but Heaven ' s to give success. — Pope. Boston College High School B. C. Club of Dorchester Asst. Football Mgr. (1,2,3) Manager Varsity Football (4) Students ' Athletic Council (4) Triumvirate (1,2,3,4) Get up on your chairs and give a cheer for your manager. There he is — he ' s a little man, but he has obtained everything you wanted and everything I wanted. He ' s the best manager I have had in my twenty-two years of coaching. — In such fashion spoke Maj. Cavanaugh at the annual football banquet. That ' s our little Jim ! And proud we are of him, the manager of that band of warriors which constituted the rampant, rip- roaring, royal eleven of 1923, which smothered Holy Cross, laced Centenary, trounced Georgetown, and annihilated a few others. Boys, we ' ll never forget that 16-7 Holy Cross victory, and if pre-game arrangements count, we ' ll tell our kiddies, if they become managers, to pick out Duxbury and look up Jim Doherty to dis- cover how to make all the plans. Business, efficiency and work have been Jim ' s watchword, and even if he did labor for four years as football manager, he has more business ability as a result, and will be at least ten parasangs ahead of his classmates when it comes to landing a position as a captain of industry. He is a small spring of thoughts, ideas and brilliant exposition. Do not be in fear that his expositions are in any way hampered by an inherent diffidence, or lack of that ability to express one ' s opinions, so necessary, yet so rare today. To see the honorable James defend one of his theories is to witness real practical applied logic, obtained from the Major, of course, supported by a fertile and extremely interesting personality, to which fear is a stranger and doubt an extrinsic impossibility. May yours be a life of worth and success, Jim. Noiv, listen, Burke. Sixty -nine JAMES F. DOOLING Dorchester, Mass. Jlm Gentlemen, stand back, a great man passes. — Browning. Boston College High School Dramatic Association (1,2,3,4) Glee Club (1,2) Brosnahan Debating Society (1) Marquette Debating Society (1,2) Fulton Debating Society (3,4) Stylus (2,4) Heights (3,4) Editor-in-Chief (4) College Band (2) Chairman Canisius Reception (3) Chairman Junior Home Night (3) Chairman Senior Smoker (4) Associate Editor Sub Turri (4) Oratorial Contest (3) Ring Committee (4) To do justice to the man depicted here in a few short lines is not within our power. The above list of activities bespeaks his ability and versatility. A well-deserved reputation for ability in scholarship and in literary, forensic and dramatic fields has James F. Dooling gained at Boston College. His four years have been years of added conquest as a writer, and as chairman of some of the major class activities. To stride before the footlights as one of Shakespeare ' s immortal characters was another triumph for the inimitable James. Honors have accrued to Jim in number, and all in justice, for Jim has on more than one occasion proved his worth. A dreamer, but more a doer of deeds, his personality becomes part of those who enjoy his friendship. A true Boston College man is he, and a friend whose hand we shall gladly grasp in warm friendship as we walk the roads of life. Beneath his pleasant personality lies a heart of gold. If we were asked to epitomize briefly, we should say a remarkable student, a regular fellow, a true friend, with untold qualities, that must eventually place him in a commanding position among his fellow men. That ' s Jim Dooling. The world today receives a real man, as Boston College graduates one of the most illustrious members of the class of ' 24. No jooling, I ' ll do it. Seventy MARTIN L. DORSET Newton, Mass. Mat Matty For work is a good investment, and almost always pays. — Carlton. Our Ladv ' s High, Newton Sodality ' s. V. M. League of the Sacred Heart B. C. Club of Newton Matty came to Boston College un- heralded and unpress-agented. Battling under the burden of having taken a com- mercial course in High School, Matty struggled for several years to make up for his lack of preparatory education. At this time, the war, which ruined many an ambi- tious student ' s success, also engulfed Matty, who assumed the position of yeo- man in Uncle Sam ' s Navy. Having served his country in the time of need, Matty, upon his discharge imme- diately resumed his neglected studies. By hard work he managed to iit himself to pass the entrance exams to B. C. He succeeded in making up what he had lost, and today Matty can hold his own in all the classes. All who have come in contact with Matty have found him a jovial young man, conscientious and a tireless worker, and an all-around good fellow. His pet pastime is the same as that of his intimate friend Jack Geary, golf. It was once remarked that Matty knows more about golf than about philosophy, and, if this be true, his knowledge of the game must be vast indeed, for Matty is a close follower of all his philosophical studies. We feel confident, on parting with Matty, that his remarkable energy and perseverance, together with his native ability, will gain him a sure success. Go out and win, Matty, for you have the stuff of which great men are made, and you have shown by your dogged determination to educate yourself that you mean business. Success must ultimately be his who works constantly and faithfully, and we believe that you possess those qualities of perseverance and grit that will not be frustrated. took jour for that hole.

Club (2,3) Pre-Tcch Club (1) Smoker Committee (3,4) Junior Week (3 ) George W. (not Washington) Douglass first saw light of day in the City of Cam- bridge. Cambridge is a remarkable city in many ways, and some day it may loudly proclaim the fact that George W. was born within its confines. Doug is the kind of fellow that makes pleasant society, and whether taking one of the boys for a little ride or solving a philosophic difficulty his aid is given willingly. George is possessed of a smile and a personality that have made him many friends during his career at B. C. George prepared for college at B. C. High. He assailed the work-a-day world for a few years until the desire to complete his education seized him. What the world lost was only a temporary loss, for we are returning Doug a better equipped citizen and one more capable of contributing his share to the progress of the nation. The summer vacation found George working as a salesman for the Pictorial Review Publishing Company. In the phraseology Doug has the stuff out of which is fashioned success, and if ambition and effort count for anything he is bound to make his mark in life. George expects to go big in the business world. We expect to see him with a corner on the magazine market in a few years. In whatever line of business you engage, Doug, we hope that prosperity may attend your venture, and that a full measure of success and achievement may be yours. The years you have spent at college and the experience you have had in the com- mercial world should combine in assisting you to ascend rapidly the ladder to success. Sign on the dotted line, please. Sereiity-lwo ARTHUR F. DOWD Brookline, Mass. Art count myself in nothing else so happy, As in a soul rememb ' ringmy good friends. — Shakespeaee. Boston College High School K. of C. Club Radio Club Treasurer Radio Club Class Football (4) Fulton Debating Society The picture accompanying this attempt at biography testifies what the entire class of ' 24 is convinced of, namely that Arthur Dowd is a fine appearing youth, and since Arthur is a real man, a jolly, smiling pur- veyor of sunshine, he is always welcome wherever ' 24 men congregate. His record at college is varied but always good. He early mastered the science of Radio, holding the official capacity of treasurer of the B. C. Radio Club. As a mem- ber of the Fulton, he has astounded many of his classmates by his clear portrayal of facts and logic. Art also found time to compete for and win a place on the Senior football team, taking part in that glorious victory scored over the team of ' 25. A careful, industrious student, Art never neglected the social activities of the class, cooperating with everything that contributed to its success. To men of his type, ' 24 owes much of its success. Ever ready to work for the best interests of the class, Art showed his loyalt y by his hearty cooperation. Art ' s college life is but a vision of what his after life will be — success for him is assured, we hope, and for this reason the entire class takes this opportunity to remind him not to forget the friends he made in college, whose number is legion. As classmates of Arthur ' s, we have learned to know his true worth, and we are glad to call him friend. To him we extend our sincere wishes for a happy and prosperous future, and hope that the coming years may never quench, but rather serve to increase his desire to advance himself. May honor, happiness and a ripe old age be yours, Art. Hurray for our class. Seventy-three GEORGE M. DOWD Somerville, Mass. George Such, O Men of Athens! were your ances- tors. — Demosthenes. Somerville Hip;h School Varsity Baseball (1,2) Varsity Football (2,3) Coach Class Football (3,4) Class Vice President (2,3) Junior Week (3) Sub Turri Staff (4) Somerville B. C. Club (1,2,3,4) Sec. (1,2) V. Pres. (3) President (4) A real athlete, a good student and a fine fellow — all three do we predicate of George Dowd in a high degree. Somerville High has indeed bestowed on us a valuable mem- ber in the person of this young man. George ' s four years at B. C. has been char- acterized by good work that has been rewarded with success and honor. In his Freshman year George won a position on the varsity baseball nine at second base. He went out for football in his Sophomore year, and gained his letter by consistent hard work. Again he won his varsity B on the diamond. George ' s successful work on the football field during his Junior year was brought to a sad close by an injury that he received in a mid-season contest. He was awarded his letter for heroic work, but was obliged to give up active participation on B. C. athletic teams for the remainder of his college career. Undaunted, George continued as an active member of ' 24. He coached the victorious Senior gridiron team, and continued his fine work as a student, establishing a record to be proud of. Many honors came to George during his four years at the Heights. The Vice Presi- dency of the class, the office of class beadle, the Secre- taryship, Vice Presidency and Presidency of the Somer- ville B. C. Club — all these offices has he held at one time or another. Among faculty and students alike, George won a popularity that was justly deserved, and many were his friends at the Heights. In life we look to see George win further honors, for ■ his record at college promises well for his future in the world. We all feel that the prestige of the class may safely be placed on the shoulders of such a man as George Dowd. Well, will you take care oj that? Seventy-jour FRANCIS B. DRISCOLL Newton, Mass. Frank Eloquence shoios the power and possibility of man. — Emerson.

Club of Newton (3) Class Hockey Team (4) Sodality Band. ' Glee Club Promoter League of the Sacred Heart Dramatic Association Class Debating Team (2) Our Lady ' s High of Newton has grad- uated some fine and able young men, not the least of whom is our genial friend and classmate, Frank Driscoll. Frank is the boy with the merry smile, the eloquent voice and the tint or silver in his hair. How Frank came to have that silver tint in his hair is a mystery to us, for Frank seems not to have a worry in the world. Frank has been more than active at college, and he early distinguished himself in debating circles. As a member of the Marquette prize debating team, of our class team, and of the K. of C. lecture team, Frank left a lasting impression of being a serious thinker, a man fully capable of presenting his views on a subject in a forceful man- ner. In addition Frank was always willing and anxious to further the interests of Alma Mater and the class of ' 24. He was a participant in that thrilling hockey victory over the class of ' 25. It is said that in his spare time Frank painted signs which were hung up in the market windows of Newton, much to the edification of passers-by. All of which leads us to express playfully, but in all sincerity, our earnest wish that Frank may paint his own name in large letters in the book of life. One of the valued members of the class, Frank seemed ever possessed of a pleasant manner and happy disposition. One with such determined spirit and winning personality is sure to reach a high mark in life, and certainly the class of ' 24 wishes you success, Frank, at this, our parting. Fellow members of the Fulton — Seventy-five CHARLES M. DUFFY Dorchester, Mass. Charlie Duff Labor is the law of happiness. — Abel Stevens. Boston College High School St. Joseph ' s, Princeton Radio Club Vice Pres. Radio Club Asst. Circulation Mgr. Heights (4) Christmas Card Committee (4) In Charles E. Duffy we have a highly regarded classmate. He entered Boston College in 1921, having transferred from St. Joseph ' s College, Princeton, after attending B. C. High in 1916, 1917 and 1918. He is dubbed cheerful Charlie by his friends, because of a wonderful disposition and pleasant personality. His talents are many. In physics and chemistry, Charlie shines as a bright light, and in his hobby, radio, he is an expert, in recognition of which he was chosen vice president of the Radio Club for the Sophomore year and unanimously re-elected in Junior. In Senior he declined the presidency of that body, on account of his class duties. Charlie started his activity in the radio field in 1916, and was one of the few proud possessor of a radio receiving set in Dorchester. In 1921 he blossomed forth as a licensed operator, and was immediately elected to the college operating staff. Much of the success of the station is due to this lad. As assistant circulating manager of the Heights, he excelled, and through his efforts the paper was dis- tributed with great success. In physics there was none superior, and the Juniors seemed to know this, for Charlie was kept busy solving problems and working out formuke. His assistance as a member of the Christmas Card Committee was also valuable. When Duff goes, there will remain with us the pleasant satisfaction that we have met at least one stu- dent who combined social and collegiate activities with class duties, and made a success of the venture. Voii might try a variocoupler. Seventy-six RAYMOND DUFFY Brighton, Mass. Ray Duff A man of courage is also full of faith. — Cicero. Brighton High School Varsity Football (2,3,4) Varsity Hockey (1) Class Track (2) Track (2) Class Hockey (4) Sub Turri Advertising Dept. (4) ' Atta boy, Ray! That ' s stopping ' em. How many times has that cry rang across Braves Field? How many times has an opposing half-back dashed around end only to be stopped and thrown by Ray Duffy? Though light, Ray was certainly a very efficient football player and he won his varsity position on merit. He retained his position by his hard efficient work in every game. Ray is a two letter man. having won his B in both football and hockey. In class athletics Ray also did his share, playing a very effective game for the class hockey team in its thrilling victory over the Juniors. Duff is justly deserving of all the honors he has gained as a gridiron star, for they are the result of hard work and persistent effort. We hope that in life Ray will show the same fight and pluck that has characterized his work on the gridiron. Although he was one of the lighest players in college ranks Ray was also one of the gamest and his con- sistently effective playing was evident in every game. His motto seemed to be The bigger they come the harder they fall, and we have yet to see the football player he feared to tackle. And yet, among his classmates, Ray was quiet, friendly and popular. A man of his stamp deserves to do well in life. The success that he achieves will be well deserved, for we are sure that Ray will work hard and earnestly at the task which he undertakes as a life work. Sure, I ' m willing. -19 2 4- Seventy-seven CHRISTOPHER J. DUNCAN Norwood, Mass. Chris Dunc The surest icay not to fail is to determine to succeed. — Sheridan. Norwood High School Brosnahan Debating Society (1) Sodahty (1,4) Assistant Manager Baseball (1,2,3) Varsity Manager Baseball (4) Students ' Athletic Council (4) The above picture portrays our genial and ei cient Baseball Manager, Chris Duncan of Norwood. He is a pleasant youngster, a good mixer, ambitious, agree- able, and a ready conversationalist. In his native Norwood Chris shares with Coach Olaf Hendricksen the glory and honor that has accrued to B. C. baseball teams. Even as a Freshman Chris showed an active interest in the welfare of our base- ball team. Each succeeding year he contributed his share to the efficient manage- ment of the team ' s needs, and his Senior year found him rewarded with Manager- ship of the Varsity nine. In a business-like way Chris provided for the wants of the men, and proved himself a capable supervisor of our diamond athletes. Since he has shown such an aptitude for managing, it would not surprise us to find him in after years a prominent business man. Chris possesses qualifications that should aid him considerably in whatever line of work he engages. He will carry with him an enthusiasm that will go far towards making him successful. In addi- tion his college training should be applicable to any task in life that he may undertake. The day for parting has arrived, Chris. We con- tinue our journey along separate roads. But let not our friendship cease here. You take with you the sincere wishes of your classmates for a future of prosperity and achievement. As we meet later on along the road of life, may we find that you have realized this wish to its fullest extent. What do you say, boys? Seventy-eiglit JOSEPH J. DWYER Roxbury, Mass.

Proud may his home folks feel of Joe, even as we are proud of him, and glad to claim him as one of us. Joe is a modest young man, and pos- sesses talents of whose existence we knew only through the revelations of his intimate friends. In his native Roxbury, Joe is considered a very capable ball player. The fans of that district credit him with being a clever fielder and a fast, capable player. He ought to perform yeoman service for our class team in the games this spring, and, with his help, we may capture the intramural pennant offered by the Heights. In addition, Joe possesses other qualities that mark him as a man of ability. He has maintained a very high standing in his classes, and has won the commenda- tion of his teachers. Both in the classics and in the different branches of philosophy he received marks that testified to his worth and dili- gence as a student. To crown it all, Joe is a very pleasant young man, a sociable comrade, who in his cheerful unassuming way has gained the respect and friendship of his classmates. Joe was a man worthy of friendship, and we, his classmates, have learned to admire him. Knowing as we do your worth and ability, Joe, we are confident that your years in life will be well spent. It is our earnest wish that you will not be long in reach- ing the success that should be yours. You have at hand the means to achieve great things among men. Onward to triumph, Joe, and remember your com- rades of B. C. ' 24, as we shall remember you and your smiling ways. Are you coming, ' Griff? Seventy-nine J. MALCOLM EICH Boston, Mass. Mal Hh heart was merry. Boston College High School League of the Sacred Heart Canisius Reception Committee Senior Social Committee Dean ' s Office Assistant Meet the hero of this short narrative. To Joseph Malcolm Eich, otherwise known as Mai, is this page dedicated. Mai is the boy of quiet demeanor, with the glad- some smile and the real college spirit. The class and the college were something real to Mai. He believed in taking part in class activities, and in supporting college functions. His happy disposition won him many friends, and he proved to be a pleas- ant and congenial companion. It was a common sight to see him in the company of one of the Sheas, or Sullivans, or Murphys. Mai frequently served as an assistant in the office of the Reverend Dean of the college. He was thus afforded an opportunity to view from the inside the workings of our large educational factory. He was also provided with the means of gaining a more extensive education than his classmates by reason of these duties. The world awaits the conquest of the college graduate, Mai. From the training camp of college we emerge to take part in the warfare of life. The value of the years we have spent at school may be partly gauged by the success we achieve in the future. But to no graduate of Boston College should the future look dark or forbidding. We have studied at the finest college in this country, under professors that were second to none in the land. It remains for us to prove our valor. On to battle, Mai, to fight with strength and courage. May the laurels that go to the conqueror be yours in abundance, and may the coming years find you steadily advancing towards a lofty place in life. Let us hope that, when we meet in future years, we shall find you as happy and buoyant as the Mai we knew in college days, a man of ' 24. Come on Jack. Coming Connie? Eighty IE FRANCIS X. EMMET Somerville, Mass. Frank Wit is the flower of the imagination. LiVY. Boston College High School Track Team (1,2) Baseball Team (1,2) Chairman Christmas Card Committee (4) Vice-Pres. B. C. Somerville Club (3) A. A. Representative (1) Golf Team (4) Sub Turri Staff (4) No dear reader, this is not a descendant of the famous Robert Emmet, although in Frank there seems to be more than a little Hibernian wit and geniality. By Flivver and by Buick Frank has journeyed daily from the back woods of Somerville, and is one of the few taxi-owners with a college education. Every morning at 9.2 S his chariot gallops up the hill with the Somerville B. C. contingent on board, and George, Jack and Tony are surely given rapid transit service. Besides being an accomplished motorist, Frank is addicted to the business man ' s game of golf, and, if reports can be believed, Frank shines like a patent leather shoe. And you musn ' t forget that Frank was quite a sprinter in his day, and was once credited with equaling the world ' s record for the twenty yard dash. Yessir! Frank is some speed boy. In selling Christmas cards and in climbing Bunker Hill Monument Frank gives place to no one. Between impersonating Daniel Webster and playing Santa Claus he was kept pretty busy. In parting we wish him well and feel confident that his business ability and staunch character augur well for his future success, regardless of the path he chooses in life. Keep that smile, Frank, and that sunny disposition, and there will be no obstacle that you cannot surmount. It may rain some days, but if it continues many days we ' ll wager ten to one that you ' ll go into the umbrella business. An optimist is a hard man to beat, Frank, and you ' re no pessimist. Any mail for the golf captain? Eighty-one THOMAS F. EUSTACE Mattapan, Mass. Tom Then on! then on! where duty leads, My course be onward still. — Bishop Heber. Boston Latin School Brosnahan Debating Society (1) B. C. Club of Milton (1,2,3,4) Sodality B. V. M. (1,2,3,4) Business Manager Stylus (4) The only trouble we ever found with Boston Latin men is that they are constantly proclaiming the supremacy of their high school. Tom is no exception, but we will admit that if they are all like Tom Boston Latin has something to boast about. Sober, serious, sedate, can we say any more? Yes. We distinguish. Sober, serious and sedate in his class work and in his other activities, we concede. S., S. and S. in a crowd, we deny. In other words, where there is something to be done, Tom is actual business from the start ; when he appears among his friends and is relaxed, he is the prince of good fellows. We have often puzzled our sadly over-taxed brains with the question of what Tom is going to do when he leaves these learned portals. We had him all placed as nothing less than judge of the Supreme Court, and now he ' s mixed the signals and declares that business is going to absorb his energies. Well, if Tom keeps as good accounts in the coming years as he did this year in the Stylus office, he ' ll earn the title of Financial Wizard, all right. Tom is one of those boys who while away their leisure hours tutoring, and we are perfectly willing to acknowledge that when it comes to Philosophy, Latin, Greek or even French, Tom could tutor a good many of us with perfect ease. May the b usiness you engage in be a successful and prosperous one, Tom. By your graduation Boston gains another capable citizen, able to contribute your share towards the progress of the communitv.

In every class John has been a consistent scorer in academic events, and through four years of companionship he has been the epitome of true modesty. Although his journey caused him to traverse many miles daily, between Lynn and Newton, he rarely missed being present for a full class day. In Junior Philosophy he astounded us by his intellectual brilliance, and again in Senior he was found to be among the leaders. A number of medals testify to his worth as a student. Johnny, however, found time to engage in other college activities. The Glee Club, Radio Club and Fulton Debating Society, each found him numbered among its members. Certainly if any member of the class has profited by his college career, his name is John Fee. Considering his sterling character and sunny friend- liness, we wish that his presence among us might con- tinue indefinitely. In whatever path of life he walks, we look forward with confidence to his success. Ability and industry, integrity and sincerity form a combina- tion that knows no failure. All these has John Fee in large measure, and many other manly qualities. The profession he chooses in after life will be greatly bene- fited by John ' s entrance into it, and we have no doubt that he will accomplish tnuch good among his fellow men. There was no one absent today. 1 © 2 4 Eighty-three FRANCIS S. FENNESSY Peabody, Mass. Frank Deeds are greater than words. — Carlyle. St. John ' s Prep., Danvers B. C. K. of C. Club Brosnahan Debating Society (1) Radio Club Sodalitv B. C. Club of Peabody (1,2,3,4) Fulton Debating Society Here ' s the only man in the class who can sign his initials with one letter — F. F. A true Friend of ' Four, Frank Fennessey. Frank hails from the goode olde towne of Peabody, and pursued his elementary training at St. John ' s Prep. Upon first sight the unobservant student of human nature might classify Frank as one of those rare creatures, a real student, we mean a lad who does nothing else but study. But coming within the range of Frank ' s man-like voice we are astounded to learn that he is discussing the Peabody basketball or football team. Frank then is a real man and a firm believer in the old adage that All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Frank is a worker himself and yet he finds time for recreation. Frank is one of those earnest gentlemen who is sure to succeed, no matter what his walk in life. A serious student, when it ' s time to be a student; a real Boston College admirer; a debater of worth, and when the occasion or place may demand, a real, sociable fellow. The useful intermingling of not too much amusement with the requisite amount of study has produced in him one of the types of men whom it might be well for coming seniors to emulate. We of ' 24 extend to Frank our very sincere hopes for the prosperous future that ought to blossom forth from such a staunch foundation. May the years to come be happy ones for you, Frank, and may they find you ever increasing in merit and worth. No, my ?iame isn ' t Kilcoyne. Eighty-jour JOHN S. FERRIS Hingham, Mass. Jawn ' Who mix ' d reason with pleasure, and wis dom with mirth. — Goldsmith. Boston College High School Track (4) B. C. Club of Hingham Hingham, that Httle town on the South Shore of Boston Harbor, certainly must be proud of her representative in the class of ' 24. We remember visiting the summer encampment of the First Corps Cadets at Hingham once, and, at the end of the drill, they saluted the colors. We didn ' t know John at that time, but if we had known him, we would have strongly suspected that the salute was intended for John. He seems to be so amply endowed with that gift of winning his way into one ' s heart, that even a salute from the famous old military organization would not seem anomalous. Even in Freshman, John was early noted by his ability to smile; nay, more, to smile at his professors. These amiable gentlemen were so surprised at evidences of amity from a student that they viewed John with suspicion for a while, but they soon got over that. Then came Sophomore and Junior, and John with his ever- present smile and his still more ever-present pipe was still in our midst. John still showed his ability at smil- ing his teachers into denying the Major, when it was the Minor that was all wrong, and he continued his happy journey through Senior. Henee, the degree crowned his smiling efforts. Now, we don ' t mean to say that John cannot be serious when he wants to be, but just think what his pleasant demeanor would do for him in the position of salesman for some large corporation. Boy! What an approach he would have. He would be able to convince the world that what he had for sale was the real thing. Continue to smile, John, old boy. People will always find in you a congenial friend. May success be yours. A can of Prince Albert, please. 19 2 4 Eighty -jive JOHN A. J. FITZGIBBONS Lynn, Mass. FiTZ Hold by the right, you double your might. — Browning. Boston College High School Marquette Debating Society (2) Radio Club (3) Sodality B. V. M. League of the Sacred Heart For four years John has dwelt quietly in our midst, a dally commuter from suburban West Lynn. Our own Prep School sent Fitz to us, and our associations with him on the Heights have been both pleasant and fruitful. He was always ready to give his moral an d financial support to the college and the class in different activities, and in all Lynn it would be hard to find a better B. C. booster than Fitz. When only a Freshman he showed his true loyalty by following the football team on that never-to-be-forgotten trip to Yale. In class Fitz was the same steady going worker all the way through. What he learned he learned well, and he applied himself to his studies with a real earnest desire to master them. Honest, sincere, a true friend and a good friend to have — that was John Fitz- gibbons. He was loyal to his work, loyal to his friends and loyal to his college. In after life we hope that he applies himself to his work with the same constancy, and we have the safest assur- ance that when he encounters the problems of his future calling he will acquit himself in a way worthy of a true son of Boston College. Your effort to make your life a worthy one, John, will be earnest and sincere, and where there is earnestness and sincerity success must follow. You have with you the best wishes of your friends, who for the past four years have enjoyed the pleasure of your companion- ship at University Heights. Good luck to you, John, and don ' t forget old B. C. when you make your first million. Jack Dillon is a wonder. Eighty-six ANTHONY J. FLAHERTY Woburn, Mass. Tony Jack ' But Ms limbs laere borne up bravely By the brave heart within. — Macaulay. Boston College High School Track Team ( 1 ,2 ) B. C. Club of Woburn (1,2,3,4) Commuters (1,2,3,4) While our own Jack Dillon fought the fight, many a time did that stout heart carry him on. In his personage we have a celebrated exponent of the manly art of self-defense, and Jack has garnered many laurels for himself in the squared circle. Just the antithesis of what one would suppose — instead of being a huge, bulky, beetle-browed brute, Tony is a well-built, clean-cut youth, of extremely modest demeanor and bearing, and would rather let you tread on his toes than start an argument over it, though you would probably be carried out if hand-to-hand encounter should follow. Having been through eight years with the aforesaid gentleman, we can truly note his characteristics — and they were those of a true gentleman and an able scholar. It is not to be thought that Tony received all his decorations in the athletic world, though he is a prominent boxer, because in addition his name adorns the honor rolls of high school and college. During the period that boxing was revived at Boston College, Jack, at the time an amateur boxer, was a prominent member of the Boxing Team. Later he dis- tinguished himself as a member of the track team, twice winning the high jump in the interclass meet. His qualities are manifest, gentlemanly in bearing and speech, able and efficient in scholastic endeavors, clever and capable in his outside activities; it is almost morally certain that he will grab a big trophy in the race of life. Hello. Eighty-seven m THOMAS F. FLEMING Worcester, Mass. Bush The jolly learned man. — Browning. Worcester North High School B. C. Club of Worcester (1,2,3,4) Treasurer (4) One of the men higher up! Not only because Tom is six feet two, but also because he is always among those worthy of honorable mention. And all the more power to him, because he is in no sense a grind, but a care-free individual who takes things as they come — yes, and parts with them, too. Tom is a resident of the heart of the Commonwealth, and the treasurer of the notorious Boston College Club of Worcester. Speaking of Worcester, we feel a little inclined to remark that Abe Lincoln ' s struggle for an education is overshadowed by Tom ' s hundred miles per day of travelling. Some of our mathematicians have computed that four years of such a trip each day amounts to the grand total of seventy-two thousand miles, or about three times the circumference of the earth. The globe-trotters have nothing on Tom. Intellectually speaking, we must say that Tom has waged battle with all manner and kind of agnostics, atheists, pantheists, idealists, sensists, materialists and sceptics, and his personal tus- sles with the doctrines of Kant, Royce, Hume, Mill, Spinoza, Spencer, Hegel and countless others have resulted in complete victories for Tom. Knowing his persevering character, and winning personality, we can assert with assurance that the future holds untold further victories for Tom. It is our wish that they may be complete and lasting, and that Tom may become a guiding influence among men. So long, Bush. What will you have, Coffee? Eighty-eight CHARLES J. FOLEY Dorchester, Mass.

(1,2,3,4) League Sacred Heart (1,2,3,4) B. C. Club of Dorchester (1,2,3,4) Charlie is blessed with a character and disposition that have secured for him an everlasting place in the hearts of all his classmates. His high intellectual ability, linked with his modest and cheerful manner, make him at once a scholar and a gentleman. In Freshman he received the gold medal in classics, and has always gained honorable mention in his classes. Also as member of the dungeon class he received credit from Janitor Boyle in running the boilers. However, Charlie did not concentrate all his energies along scholastic lines, but found time to engage in several college activ- ities. He was one of the mainstays of the band, and a big factor in the success of the orchestra. In Junior he took to the cinder path, and gave his support as a hurdler to the track team. He was a regular attendant at the Dillon matches, and his descriptions of How Dillon did it were at times so realistic that he was g iven spacious room in relating them. Charlie has always been popular with both students and faculty, and has combined in his character such traits as common sense, generosity, and application, that one and all look with confidence and real pleasure to the high position he must ultimately achieve. In whatever line of action you engage, Charlie, you may feel confident that you have the best wishes of the class behind you, for it is men of your type that colleges are proud of. No matter what you undertake we feel sure that success will reward your efforts. Dillon can lick him. Eighty-nine WILLIAM F. FOLEY Cambridge, Mass. Will Bill Grand Knight An abridgement of all that was pleasant in matt. — Goldsmith. Boston College High School Cambridge B. C. Club Grand Knight, St. John ' s Council K. C. Sodalitv (1,2,3,4) Gold Medal in Philosophy (3) Here is depicted a head in whose convolu- tions philosophic difficulties are met and mastered. William F. Foley, an intellect- ual, hails from the cultured city of Cam- bridge. We say intellectual, but this is not the only side of this likeable youth ' s nature. Bill is a real man. Graduating from Boston College High School in 1917, an honor student, Bill turned his steps into the cold cruel world to work. Ascending the heights of fame and fortune, the lure of learning called him to the arms of his Alma Mater. Came the war. Bill was one of the official members of the Boston College Company of the S. A. T. C. And by the way, if ever you want to spend an hilarious evening, get Bill warmed up to telling of the days he defended the reservoir. Bill has made friends across the historic Charles— more than a centipede has legs. He teaches in one of the local evening schools, and has been honored by the St. John ' s Council of the Knights of Columbus of Cam- bridge with the dignity of the office of Grand Knight of that body. Add to this his interest in everything that has a maroon and gold tinge, and you have the reason why Bill Foley is the popular chap that he is. The gold medals he has received for scholastic accomplish- ment speak for themselves. Such is the character and go-get-it nature of Will Foley. We need not predict a brilliant future for him. He has already reached a brilliancy of attain- ment far beyond the average youth. We only hope he may continue unmolested in his upward climb. I prove the subsumption. Ninety HENRY A. FOLLEN Dorchester, Mass. Harry True merit, like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes. — Lord Halifax. Boston Latin School Holy Cross College Sodality (3,4) Class Hockey (3,4) Harry, as he is better known, is one of the popular members of the class. His favorite pastimes are swimming and skating, and he has excelled at both. His work on the class hockey team helped to bring us the inter-class championship for the last two years. Like all true sons of Boston he has a pro- found love of the sea. They say Bostonians never get sea-sick. (Oh! What a story!) But anyway Harry doesn ' t, for last summer he took a trip to Havana, Cuba on the United Fruit ship, San Benito. He had no desire to settle in a tropic clime, so last fall found him occupying a seat in the Assembly Hall. Next summer he plans a trip to Europe and we are sure that Boston College could have no better representative at Versailles than Harry Follen. And when you meet the Kaiser, Harry, be sure and inform him that the elements of Conduct and Oughtness (Vide Fr. Corrigan) are much more important than a place in the sun, and more than that, a person, who has his ultimate end in view would never try to use German marks for anything but wall paper. We feel sure that you will be able to do that to the queen ' s taste, Harry; and we are certain that, in any debate with the crowned heads of Europe, you will make them keep their syllogisms in form, as you learned from Father Boehm under the towers. In whatever part of the globe you settle to win your fortune, Harry, we wish you great and continued suc- cess. Wherever you go carry with you the ideals of your college and we can guarantee you a life of worth and accomplishment. Ship ahoy! Ninety-one FRANCIS L. FORD Watertown, Mass. Frank Fliv Music is the universal language of man- kind. — Longfellow. Boston College High School Brosnahan Debating Society (1) Senior Football Team (4) League of Sacred Heart Promotor Sub Turri (4) Station WNAC. The next number on the program for Boston College night will be a piano solo by Francis L. Ford. Such was the announcement we heard on February 2 7 over the radio, and as Seniors we felt honored in having Frank, among other of our members, upholding the reputation of B. C. and the class of ' 24. Frank is an excellent pianist, and has given his services willingly and unstintingly in behalf of Boston College musicales. Although most of his extra time is taken up as a chemist, he nevertheless found time to engage in some college activities, taking part in music club entertainments, Sacred Heart League, debating societies, and playing on the Senior football team, which annexed that long-to-be remembered victory over the Juniors. Frank is an honor student, and is noted for his grit and determination to keep among the leaders in academic events. He is a versatile musician, a promising understudy for Paderewski, and possesses an unflinch- ing will, a frank personality, and his company is pleas- ant, characteristics which bid fair to bring success in his coming years of endeavor. From your work at college, Frank, we can prophesy a future of achievement for you. Fidelity to work and persistent effort must finally be rewarded. May your years of study bring you full return for your labor, and may they result in your becoming a leader in your chosen occupation. Did you test for a sulphate, Nick? Ninety-lwo FRANCIS J. GALLIGAN Quincy, Mass. Frank Gal No poiver can die that ever wrought jor truth. — Lowell.

Club of Quincy (1,2,3,4) League of the Sacred Heart (1,2,3,4) Glee Club (3) Sodality (4) Stylus Contributor (2) Sub Turri Contributor (4) Behold a man who has discovered the secret of success. Gaze upon the counte- nance of one who has learned by trial that application and persistence are but passkeys to accomplishment. Quincy has indeed favored Boston College by sending to the Heights the above pictured Francis J. Galligan. For four years now the authorities at B. C. have been adding the name of Galligan to class honor rolls. Frank had a high standing in scholastic work throughout his course, and graduation will in all probability lind him among the leaders. As yet, Frank has never ceased to smile his genial smile. On misty morn or bright Spring day, we received his cheery welcome, given with the same friendly spirit. Continue to smile, Frank, no matter what confronts you. You have given evidence of your ability to carry on at all times. For you we can predict a future of achievement. Talents and qualities are yours that can readily be used to attain success. Strive in life as you did at col- lege, and the deserving honors of men cannot be denied you. You are equipped for the warfare of life. Go out and fight bravely, Frank, and wrest the laurels that belong to the conqueror. ' Twas yours to succeed at college, to overcome the obstacles that beset a student in his quest for knowledge. May it also be yours, in the promising days before you, to continue, in spite of all difficulties, surely and swiftly to the goal of your ambitions. May the victory be yours, Frank. Say, Frank. Ninety-three JOHN J. GEARY Newton, Mass. Jack A silent address is the genuine eloquence oj sincerity. — Goldsmith. Our Ladv ' s High, Newton Sodality ' (1,2,3,4) Newton B. C. Club Marquette Debating Society By his quiet, unassuming manners and actions Jack early endeared himself to twenty- four. Never a heralder of his own prowess, Jack has been a modest good- natured friend of the whole class. Coming from the first-class Sisters ' High School of the Parish of Our Lady in Newton, Jack has certainly been a credit to that institu- tion during his four years of collegiate life. For all those who came in contact with him Jack had his everpresent smile, or his little pat of condolence. And let it be said right here that never has anyone sought a favor of Jack in vain if it lay within his power. His pet pastime has been chasing an innocent ball around the Country Club links. It is said that he could play golf even before he could eat or talk and that was some early. We cannot but predict a brilliant future for Jack because his very char- acter assures his success. Jack is sure of his share of renown, because no matter where he goes, or what he attempts, his geniality and real good-fellowship will make him a valuable man. The class of ' 24 takes this occasion to present to the world a real B. C. man of a real B. C. class, Jack Geary of ' 24. Jack has many of those qualities that count much towards success, and we do not hesitate to predict that the years to come will find Jack among the leaders in his chosen walk of life. And happy we ' ll be in after years to learn of Jack ' s success, and we shall recall with pleasure that he was one of our class- mates. Dorsey and I ' ll play you. Ninely-jour RAYMOND J. GEMMEL Roslindale, Mass. Gemmy Ray All studies here I solemnly dejy. — Shakespeare. Boston English High School The subject of this discourse is a living refutation of the theory of the influence of environment. The basis for this philosophic observation is the fact that Gemmy hails from the hills of Roslindale, a quaint ham- let, almost entirely bounded by grave-yards. The influence of this genial environment upon our colleague has, however, been nil, for he is blessed with a sense of humor far above the ordinary, a quality which led to his being proclaimed Class Humorist at the close of his Sophomore year. The fact that this humor lurks beneath a quiet and modest exterior, which has never been known to be ruffled, convinces us that it is the lighter complement of a serious and steady nature, which may be depended upon to possess the tenacity and diligence so necessary for success in the world of affairs. Ray possesses the sense of humor essential to the all-round man. Roslindale may get up yet, as Ray remarks, but we predict that long e ' er the time that this happens, she will have a very worthy representative in the person of our droll classmate, who will, we hope, achieve such success in life that his native home, his college and class will all share in the glory that accrues to his name. Fare thee well, Ray, and may we meet again to see you still happy and smiling as of yore. May the years rest lightly upon you, and bring you full measure of deeds well done and of work well accomplished. We, your college comrades, wish you continued success in your work in life. Don ' t say anything against Roslindale. Ninety-five WILLIAM F. GOODALE Dorchester, Mass. Bill Difficulties overcome s ioio ivhat men are. Boston College High School Track (1,2,4) Fulton Debating Society (3) Sodality (1,2,3,4) K. C. Club There are many people who are of a taciturn state of mind, despite the fact that they are of that genius-like type, who are able to do most anything they are called upon to do in a most satisfactory manner. Our classmate, Bill, is of this type. He is naturally a scholar, but instead of going about looking for the glory, that belongs to men of his class, he is quiet and reserved, and accepts honors and praise bestowed upon him in a most dignified and humble manner. Bill, from Freshman, has been within the ring of sharks, and right up to Sophomore might have been termed a 2.30 bird. But since his high school partner, Charley Carroll, was burning up the boards at Holy Cross, Bill said I ' ll race Charley as a representative of Boston College ; and so it came to pass that Jack Ryder jotted on his work sheet, Goodale, Sprinter and Jumper. The outcome of the outdoor track meet between the colleges shows that Charley had to e.xtend himself to win over Bill, and Charley, let us say, is some pumpkins. Bill may surprise the college jumpers this spring, and may prove a point winner for Coach Ryder ' s team. We of ' 24 have our orators, philosophers, psychol- ogists, etc., but few as well endowed as Bill with knowledge and talents. As the future years creep softly and swiftly upon us, we know with certainty that Bill ' s assured success in life will reflect nothing but credit upon Alma Mater. The class of ' 24 feels con- fident that it possesses in Bill an able representative, and a real B. C. man. On his past work and present merits we base our prophecy of his future success. Boti voyaf e, Bill. Let ' s have a malcli, Red. Ninety-xix JAMES F. GRADY West Roxbury, Mass. Jim We live not to ourselves, our work is life. — Bailey.

Club (4) Junior Staff (3) Fulton Lecture Team (4) Censor Fulton Debating Society (4) Marquette Debating Society Genial J™ Grady is as gay a Lothario as ever whistled. They say he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but be that as it may, still the fact remains that Fortune actually did give him two gold teeth, one on each side of a mouth that was possessed of a perpetual smile. This fact is the cause of the nick-name The boy with the golden smile. Always pleasant, always there with the goods, Jim showed himself a producer from the start. The Freshman year found his name honorably mentioned as a star basketball player. He was also a faithful attendant at Sodality, remaining an active member for four years. In Sophomore he turned from athletics to seek prominence in academic lines. The year ' s record showed him pacing the floors of the Marquette Debating Society, and hunting the library to quench his thirst for knowledge. He was easily promoted to Junior where he ranked high in Philosophy. Junior found him an active debater in the Fulton Club, and the Heights found in him an artist as an editorial writer. Senior year was reserved by the Fates as the year in which Jim was to come into his own, however, for he has rapidly climbed the ladder of success and popularity. As President of the West Rox- bury B. C. Club, he has brought honor to B. C. He also occupied the chair of Athletic Editor of the Heights, and Associate Editor of Sub Turri. In general, it may be said that Jim has performed well at Boston College as a student, athlete and writer. Don ' t jorget our smoker. Ninety-seven J. FRANCIS GRIFFIN Roxbury, Mass. Griff So to live is heaven! To make undying music in the world. — George Eliot. Boston High School of Commerce Sodality (1,2,3,4) Orchestra (3) B. C. Club of Roxbury (1,2,3,4) Track Squad (1) Ring Committee (4) J. Francis Griffin-Fiddler-Fashion-plate, and P ' inished Filanthropist. In that brief grammatical structure you have the essence of the personality of one of the numerous flaming-haired fellows of ' 24. Roxbury sent him to Boston College because Roxbury was proud of him, and wanted B. C. to benefit by the presence of Griff. The reasons were many. First of all since J. Francis had enthralled and captivated the residents of the historic place of rocks and stones. Again, Raymond ' s may be famous for hats, but John never purchased any of his numerous brown fedoras at that emporium. Yessir! from top-piece to toe-gear he was always a creator of men ' s wear. Philanthropy was the thing that John practised nothin ' else but. If he wasn ' t devoting his spare Sunday afternoons to instructing the youth in religion, he was busy one way or another in attempting to lessen the load on the hump of suffering humanity. And when all is said and done, and the old sheepskin has glowed through the dust of a decade of years, this enterprising youth will have taken his place upon a lofty arch of the Bridge of Life, and, clothed in the cloak of characteristic style, there will he draw his bow across the strings of his mellow Stradivarius, and play and plead for the suffering souls who have no hand to guide them. 1924 sends him up the Ladder of Life with a fond wish of good luck, and success. The class of ' 24 expects great things from Griff, and realizes well that he will carry the prestige of Noblesse Oblige to the highest rung. Here ' s to you, J. Francis, and a wish that yours may be years of true prosperity. What ' s new, Tim Ninety-eight JAMES C. HAMILTON Jamaica Plain, Mass. Charlie Other than what he is he would not be. Boston English High School This is to introduce Charlie Hamilton, one of our noteworthy members. Charlie ' s classic profile has been seen in our midst for four happy years, years to which Charlie has contributed his share of mirth. He is noted for being possessed of a witty, satirical nature, and some one has called him the Swift of ' 24. Some day he may write a Gulliver ' s Travels from Park St. and tell of his sojourn among the col- legians of Chestnut Hill. There are several remarkable things about Charlie. In the first place the waving clump of ebony curls that tops his massive brow is a distinguishing charac- teristic. This in itself is enough to make Charlie noteworthy, as the two repre- sentations on this page show. In addition, however, Charlie is possessed of a charming manner, is an interesting conversationalist, and impresses one as being a man of thought. His recitations in class were indicative of his ability as a student and bespoke a ready mental alertness and intelligence. As we look upon the broad highway that stretches beyond the day of graduation, and recognize the qualities and characteristics that a man must have to cope successfullly with the obstacles, met on this journey, we feel confident that a man of Charlie ' s stamp need have no great concern for the future. On to battle, Charlie, to gain the rewards that go to the victor. In giving you to the world, Charlie, we feel that we are giving a man who has the ability to succeed. Let us hope that, as classmates of yours, we shall point with pride in years to come to the fact that you were one of us at the College on the Heights. See you later, Charlie, and, let us hope, smiling and happy as of yore. Let me see. Ninety-nine EDWARD V. HART Medway, Mass. Ed A solid man oj Boston. — Longfellow. Medway High School SodaUty League of the Sacred Heart Here we have one of those individuals who has immortalized the fair name of Medway, by representing it in the repre- sentative class of ' 24. Ed is looked upon as a harbinger of knowledge and light, the one man in all Medway capable of putting that erstwhile town on the map. One of Ed ' s favorite pastimes, while not in the community, was to take an inter- est in his books, looking forward, no doubt, to the time when all Medway would be flocking to him for knowledge. Ed was a member of the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin, always anxious to further its interests, and those of the Class of ' 24, and was never found wanting when cooperation was needed. Possessed of a smile that broke down barriers of indifference, Ed showed the class the true spirit of B. C, by lending his support to the college teams in their various athletic contests. Future success is his because he has succeeded in the past. The entire class is behind him, no matter what walk of life he takes up, and we only hope that his smile will always be present at our meetings in future years. College days are over, Ed. Fast flew the four years, filled with their sunshine and gladness. The world awaits us with expectancy, and the call to arms is heard. Alma Mater has prepared you, Ed, to fight for all that is noble and good and hopes to see you victorious. May the victory be yours, Ed, and may you garner all the laurels that go with a triumph well won. Au re voir. Fig it! Boston, Fight! One hundred JOHN J. HEALEY Cambridge, Mass. Jack Jocko ' An honest man ' s the noblest work oj God. —Pope. Boston College High School Class Collector (4) B. C. Club of Cambridge Fulton Debating Society League of the Sacred Heart Sodality Again the fair city of Cambridge con- tributes to the class of ' 24 one of the best she possesses in Jack Healey. Pleasing to gaze upon, pleasing to know, Jack has readily and swiftly made a mul- titude of friends throughout the college in his brief four years within these classic walls. A student of keen mentality and marked ability, ranking high in class honors; a diligent worker for everything con- cerning Boston College, and an ardent booster of the class of ' 24. Such is the character of Jocko Healey. Athletics held no lure for him, so his name has not blazened the front pages of local newspapers; scholastic endeavors have bound him closely to the books for four years, and so the College publications have not been privileged with his contribu- tions. Yet, he was a member of the Fulton Debating Society, and we all recognize in him a capable worker in any endeavor he under- takes, and a friend well worth having. Studies have not altogether tied him down, however, for socially, Jack has always been right behind every movement of the Cambridge B. C. Club, and to him is due much of the credit for that body ' s many successful enterprises. In addition, Jack was one of the class collectors, a difficult position to fulfill, but one of trust. We know success awaits him, for men of such quali- ties as his are bound to win. And our heartiest wishes go with him, as now we say Good-bye, for after four years of college association we are willing to place our hopes in Jack, trusting to his character and ability to land him in a high position in life.

Newburyport High School University of Maryland (1,2) Senior Football Team Commuter ' s Club Sodality B.V.M. Senior Baseball Team Two years were required for Tim to realize his mistake in the choice of an Alma Mater. Following a brilliant athletic career at Newburyport High, he matriculated at the University of Maryland, where he also starred as a Freshman football player and as a track man. On entering B. C. in Junior, Tim decided to cast aside the athletic togs for a while, and devote his time to study. The long distance he had to travel every day to and from college made active participation in sports impracticable. In his Senior year, however, Tim did give us a glimpse of what he is capable of in the athletic line. He played a slashing game at half-back in that memorable Senior- Junior football game, and time after time tore off gains around end to the great joy of the men of ' 24. We expect him to star on the Class Baseball team as well. Tim traveled daily to and from Boston in the company of his boon companions, Bill Lucey and Ray Sullivan, and they certainly were a happy trio. The northern part of Massachusetts was thus kept in communication with the Eagle on Chestnut Hill. We do not know what path Tim intends to follow in life, but whatever it is, we wish him the greatest of success. We shall always hold him in memory as a smiling likeable chap, who seemed to be made of the right stuff. We know from our association with Tim that he possesses good qualities, and these, we hope, will gain for him an eminent position in his chosen profession. Here are the boys jrom the Far North.

Club of Dorchester (1,2,3,4) Class Football (4) Class Hockey (4) Class Day (1,2,3) League of the Sacred Heart (1,2,3,4) Don ' t be deceived, reader, — the above picture is not a true representation of John Holbrow. The real John Holbrow has a cigar in his mouth, a smile on his face, and a few cheery words on his lips. And yet the above portrait does bear some resemblance to our Jawn. Still, a person wouldn ' t know John fully merely by looking at his picture. Let us describe this heroic youth for you in a few short lines. In the first place, John is one of the most prominent members of the class. He makes all B. C. interests his interests, and it would be hard indeed to find a stauncher supporter of ' 24 and a more loyal son of Boston College. In all class activities he has taken an active interest, and the college athletic teams have in him a faithful adherent. John has taken an active part in athletics, having been a member of the class Hockey and Football teams, both of which were Champions of the College. As we mentioned before, John is ever smiling. His genial disposition and his happy generous manner should prove to be valuable assets to him in life. He will make friends wherever he goes, even as he has made friends at college, and these friends now take this opportunity to express their heartfelt desire that his future may be one of peace, prosperity, and accom- plishment. If John displays the same industry and energy in life that he did at college, he ought to do well in life. So long, John. Yea, Boston, Fight! One hundred three- A trombone never had such a charm as when wielded by the worthy knight who gazes upon you, above. Lex, as we call him in Jurisprudence class, has melody in the very marrow of his bones, and he necessar- ily gives vent to it through the mellow brass. A summa cum laude record is his, both for the college band and the orchestra. And while other collegiate activities have called him from his chosen line, he has managed to make time and place for all. We shall always recognize him by his smile, even when he becomes old and gray from too much work. We hope he ' ll retain that pleasant countenance through all the days he wends his way through this vale of tears. Le.x has also made his mark in scientific circles, as well as in the classical. Not satisfied with his own ability as a musician, he has entered the research department of the Radio Club in an endeavor to find some musician more skilled than himself on the trombone. Lex is an extremely pleasant youth, talented and musical. Consequently, we need not consult the oracle to know that he ' ll get along. Best of luck, — and keep that smile, Lex. Perhaps in years to come we ' ll journey to Symphony Hall to hear you play before Boston ' s most critical audiences (for know you, reader, that Lex is also a pianist of marked ability). At any rate Lex don ' t forget to bring your music to our future reunions. Noiv, what sliaU I play, boys? One hundred jour GEORGE E. HUGHES Roxbury, Mass.

Club of Roxbury (1,2,3,4) Football Squad (2,3) In introducing smiling George we must seek some other title than the late Mr. Hughes as he is generally known, or you will think him deceased. Indeed we must, for George is far from that state. No doubt you have seen him at some time or other, rakishly sitting behind the wheel of his big red Win ton (known as such to his family, but as the Shenandoah to the boys) as he tore up the road or clipped your car in a cloud of dust. They say it was while riding with George that the creator of Mutt Jeff noticed the phenomenon of hair stand- ing on end on the human head. But speaking of driving, George is a great Ethician and Metaphysicist, as well as an arch-enemy of Insurance Companies and motor- cycle cops. Yes, indeed, a firm believer of the doctrine hitch your cart to a star. In the social whirl, no mean swath was cut by this debonair youth. As a charter member of the Eagle Missionary Club, he has done a great deal to promote the cause of this magnanimous society. With the keen business acumen that is George ' s, as well as the genial big-hearted character that is also his, we have no doubt but that his Alma Mater will point with pride to him as her fair son. To George we look for big things in life. We confidently hope that his future will be one of worth and achievement, and that he will bring honor, praise and glory to his class, his college and himself. Au revoir, George. Lots of suc- cess, old boy. We ' re betting on you. guess we ' ll make the hill on high. One hundred five STEPHEN LEO HUGHES Newton, Mass.

(3) Sodality B.V.M. (1,2,3,4) The Class of ' 24 begs to present Leo Hughes (himself). We say himself because there have been many imitations of Leo, but all are poor imitations. Would-be hockey stars and plunging backs tried in vain to copy Stephen L. To tell you all about Leo Hughes would take most of the book, but we will trj ' to sj ' nopsize his history a bit. In the hockey history of B. C. Leo Hughes stands out as do Darling and Fitz- patrick in football, and Jake Driscoll in track. Mainly through his efforts, the col- lege team more than once won the college championship of the world. As captain he was an ideal leader. In class, too, he has shown himself a pronounced enemy of Spinoza, Hegel, Schelling and Co. But, to know Leo well enough to appreciate his all-around excellence, you must dine with him at Osgood ' s, see his grace and eloquence, and come under the spell of his personality. As Jim Kelly would say, He ' s got the stuff. Examinations and tests have no fears for him. With open arms he welcomes them. Buckling on his trusty armor he sallies forth and has never failed to emerge victorious in the end — so doeth Bozo. Thus say we of Leo Hughes. If there is any school or college seeking a first-class athletic instructor, we would recommend Leo as a born coach, and a real leader. Leo has the goods and has shown that he can deliver them. If persistence and constant endeavor count for anything in the battle of life, then Leo is well equipped to gain the victory. 11 ' e must all stick together, Felloivs. One Inindred six CHARLES H.

Here we have a debonair young man, a youth who bids fair to rival Russet Apple, that is in the healthy color he possesses in his cheeks. Charlie has been noted through his four years ' college career for his natural complexion, and on account of it has been termed the Adonis of B. C. Beaming with good humor, and overflowing with tales of his native land of Venice, he strolls around the confines of the Heights with a pleasant word for all. Among his many noteworthy characteristics, he is chiefly celebrated for his frankness, sincerity and good nature; always seriously attentive to another ' s remarks, agreeable and willing to aid, he finds pleasure in performing some work for another. He is the proud possessor of a smiling and good- -natured countenance. In all college activities he has mingled with his loyal classmates, has been a diligent worker, and has performed meritoriously any assign- ment. As a member of the B. C. Club of East Boston, he aided in the accomplishment of many of its under- takings, being chairman of the social which was so suc- cessfully conducted by that organization. Whatever his future career may be, it seems to us that it can hardly be anything but successful, due to his staunch character. But the crown of success will rest lightly on your brow, Charlie, and we feel fairly certain that all honors that come your way will fail to change you from the steady, reliable, friendly Charlie Hyland that was a member of ' 24.

Boston College High School Brosnahan Debating Society (1) Sodality (1,2,3,4) Asst. Manager Football (1,2,3) C. Club, Dorchester We take pleasure in presenting the ami- able Henry Jennings, another one of those true gentlemen who have helped to brighten our surroundings. From the inception of the class of ' 24 at the Heights, until its prese nt position as Senior, Hughey, as most of us call him, after the great Detroit baseball leader, has helped in many ways to carry the burdens of twenty-four. His full- hearted support was given to every class activity. To him we can without hesitancy award the prize for patience and persistence. These qualities have been exemplified on various occasions and in a high degree, but most especially in his capacity as assistant manager of the varsity football team. For three years each afternoon he bided his time at the Heights, lending whatever aid he could towards making the football teams successful. He was far from being a two-thirty bird, but his duties while holding this position as manager prevented him from engaging in other college activities. In Dorchester Henry is well known, especially in the Uphams Corner section, where at times he has proved his efficiency in the art of floristry. He is always agree- able to converse with, and an attentive and interested listener. Surely the future holds for him the crown of success- ful achievement, which such characteristics really merit. Our four years have been years of pleasant association, Hughey, and in you we feel we have a true friend, whose friendship will last for life. Let ' s go, Art.

Club of Haverhill (1) B. C. Club of Lawrence (2,3,4) Presenting: Thomas Richard Jones, Champion Commuter of the class of 1924, and holder of the world ' s record for daily mileage covered in the pursuit of knowl- edge. Tom has covered over one hundred miles daily going to and from college, and has been forced by circumstances to make a railroad car a study. During his four years at Boston College he has spent five months in traveling. And yet Tom is one of the happiest members of the class, and his record as a student proves that his studies on the road are profitable. His policy of life seems to read: Don ' t let worry interfere with your work. Tom is a boon companion, and a friend who is a real help in driving away the blues. He is ever ready to par- ticipate in a friendly philosophic discussion, and it would take a smart team to stump him and his friend and pal Frank Kilcoyne, when they start tossing syllogisms around. Tom has shown an active interest in debating at the Heights, and in his Senior year he held the responsible position of Treasurer of the Fulton Debating Society. That his fellow members considered him well qualified to handle their financial affairs was shown by the fact that they elected him to serve a second term. In after life, Tom, we hope that your fellow men will likewise see fit to impose confidence in your ability, and we feel certain that you will live up to the trust that is placed in you. We feel sure that your persistent quest for knowledge has not been fruitless, and it is our earnest hope that in years to come you will nobly uphold the honor of ' 24. Dues please. One hundred nine m JOHN KEEFE Lowell, Mass. Jack Laugh and the class laughs with you. — Selected. Boston College High School B. C. Club of Lowell (1,2,3,4) Royal Rooters (1,2,3,4) If you wish to meet a veritable dynamo of beaming optimism, if you wish to be rejuvenated by a stampede of genuine sun, in short, if you wish to know the premier of humorists, let us introduce Mr. Jack Keefe of Boston College. Coming to the heights, with that grand array of scholars and gentlemen, which in 1920 migrated from Boston College High School, he has been dispensing laughs, jokes and hand-shakes for these four years. Understand he is the original, for ' ' Jack has been classmate to most of us for six years, most pleasant years, here at Boston College and formerly at the Boston College High School. . nd yet, at one time we nearly lost him, when, as we suppose, that Go west, young man, go west gave him the wanderlust. Somehow or other he thought of visiting a certain college in the center of our fair commonwealth, and perhaps matriculating there. And at the beginning of our Sophomore year, with Jack at the Cross, the outlook for the year was gloomy, indeed. It was difficult to lose, every so often, a stalwart mem- ber of ' 24 through various causes, but when Jack left the happy fireside — Oh, ask me not to describe our feel- ings. But like all great men, he saw his mistake, and in a few days the prodigal returned to the tune of There is no place like home. Since then he has been with us, and now at Com- mencement he is still with us, and we ' re with Jack. And while we bid him good-bye, at this parting of the ways, we envy those who, in the coming years will know and enjoy him, even as we have at the Heights. Hello. One hundred ten JAMES A.

Club (1,2,3,4) Radio Club (3,4) Chairman Cap and Gown Committee (4) Senior Smoker Committee (4) Sub Turri (4) These lines can in small measure do justice to the character of Jim, but you will have to meet and enjoy him yourself to get the full benefit of his personality. To be trite, but truthful — Jim is really a modest and unassuming young man, but as we know him, he possesses depths of character that befit the bravest man. A steady student and a good scout, Jim was always one of the mainstays of the class in serious matters and in friendly frolic. With his manly characteristics, he was a friend to all and was indeed deserving of friendship. Committee work was one of his specialties, and, though he labored for the class without the publicity which attended the works of other men, he could always be depended upon to be there and then. Jim was a leading spirit among those who formed the backbone of every class organization and activity. His spirit of self-effacement was evident in everything he undertook, and his cooperation was of the highest order. We salute thee, Jim Kellaher! Thou art one in a million, A gem of purest ray serene, but, it is to be hoped, not much longer to blush unseen. A man ' s man, Jim, are you, and we hope that the future will find you a leader among men. Hoppy we ' ll be in days to come to read and hear of your rapid rise to a prominent position in life. Put your order in early. One hundred eleven EDWARD P. KELLEHER Hingham,Mass. Ed dread no toll; toll is the true Knight ' s pastime. — Kingsley. Hingham High School Commuters (1,2,3,4) Royal Rooters Enter the Kelleher tribe, of which, to its great good fortune the class possesses five members, even though they do not all spell their names alike. To start off, we have Ed, our commuting member from Hing- ham. Ed is certainly a worthy member of the noble clan of Kelleher, and a repre- sentative of whom both Hingham and Boston College may well feel proud. Ed has maintained a good standing in his classes at Boston College, and ranks among the leaders in the Ph.B. course. As a chemist there are few in the class that can compete with him, and the many long hours that he has spent in the laboratory have equipped him with a knowledge and skill that should be of great benefit to him in after life. His long daily ride, and the time that his lab work required made active participation in college activities im- practicable for Ed, and yet we feel sure that he has always had the interests of the college at heart, and that as an alumnus he will continue to be a loyal B. C. booster. Hard work is a potent factor in acquiring success, Ed, and we believe that you possess the willingness to work, which is a very desirable quality to have. We hope that by persistent, well-directed effort you will be able to overcome all obstables that lie between you and the attainment of your goal in life. Whatever your degree of success in life, we feel that it will be well earned. Judging by your record at college, we feel safe in asserting that it is only a matter of time, when you will be ranked high in the enterprise you choose as a life work. Did you get a green precipitate? One hundred twelve THOMAS L. KELLEHER Roslindale, Mass. Tommy For he too was a jriend to me. — Tennyson. Boston College High School Sodality (1,2,3,4) League of the Sacred Heart (1,2,3,4) Baseball Squad (1,2) B. C. Club of West Roxbury A communication which appeared in the Heights Letter Box sometime in March, called attention to the fact that our best debaters do not debate, our best writers do not contribute to our college publications. The writer evidently had in mind men like Tommy Kelleher, for Tom was a bril- liant student, as those of us who sat with him in class know, and as Father McClus- key emphatically stated. To defend the thesis on the Universals against two able objectors is no child ' s play, but Tommy defended it well and in a manner that would have pleased the great St. Thomas himself. That Tom would have shone in forensic circles is claimed by those who knew him well. Tommy was a candidate in Freshman and Sophomore for the Varsity Baseball team, but his size was too great a handicap. As a member of the Mt. Hope Town Team, however, Tommy showed himself a player of marked ability, and was quite an agile infielder. He also helped to gain for the West Roxbury club the proud title of the leading and most active B. C. club, to quote our college weekly, The Heights. We sincerely hope that what the college publications and debating societies have lost by Tommy ' s reti- cence will be the gain of his future associations. He leaves us c onsiderably more intellectual, yet the same smiling kid that entered on that memorable day in September, 1920. May you continue to smile your same friendly smile, Tommy boy, and let us hope that you will achieve the success in life that a man of your ability deserves. Come on, Hank, let ' s go.

Club of East Boston (1,2,3,4) Students ' Athletic Council (4) Triumvirate (1,2,3,4) This is Bill, — and a good fellow he is, quiet but energetic, and a loyal son of Boston College. Bill believes in supporting all the college activities, and his four years association with his college comrades has been a pleasant one indeed. Bill is noted for two things besides his ever-present smile. He is a member of that well-known triumvirate composed of Doherty, King and himself, and he is Senior manager of the Boston College Hockey Team. What sort of an organization the triumvirate is has been hard to determine, but it seems to be a combination social, intellectual and athletic society, whose three members seem to profit by the association. The position of Hockey Manager has kept Bill pretty busy all winter and his efforts have been fruitful. With your happy disposition, Bill, and your cheery smile, you are starting life with assets that help much towards success. That success may be realized through them is our fervent and confident wish. Whatever occupation you may seek as the means, remember to smile through all your difficulties, and to attack them with your characteristic energj ' . Then must success come to you, and more honor to B. C. The class of ' 24 will be proud of those of her members who uphold the honor and traditions of Alma Mater, and we sincerely hope that we may point with pride in after years to you as one of those who faithfully carried forward our standard of Noblesse Oblige.

From earliest association it seemed to us that Walter trod in spheres above ordinary men. A calm reserve set him apart from the rest of the universe, but a friendly greet- ing and a warm-hearted reception was always his who pierced the veil of that reserve. We knew him always as a gentle- man, and by that we include all noble qualities. Walter was an interested spectator and a loyal rooter at every Boston College game and meet this side of the Rockies. Rumor hath it that out in Maiden, Walter playeth a few games himself, — and doth well. It is natural for him to do well. From his high school days he was distinguished by a collection of trophies won in the classroom. No honor roll was complete with- out the name of Kelliher. It is our hope that in his continuation of studies he will garner the same laurels as have accrued to him in the past. His is a brilliant intellect, a modest spirit and a comforting personality. He has worked well among us; he has success; our heartfelt wish is that he may con- tinue to have it and ever increase it. We hope that you will continue in your quest for knowledge, Walter, for yours is a promising future, and we are confident that your studies will aid you to accomplish much. Your achievements in years to come will not only bring credit to yourself, but will reflect honor and glory on the name of Boston College. On the shoulders of men like you rests the future glory of the class of ' 24. prove the sub sumption. One hundred fifteen EDWARD G. KELLEY Cambridge, Mass.

Club of Cambridge (1,2,3,4) Track Squad (4) Ed, our diminutive and unassuming philosopher, hails from Cambridge, and is a proud alumnus of the Latin School of that city, and never fails to make the fact known. Besides being a star hockey player, Ed indulges in other sports in a most proficient manner. When but a Freshman, and per- haps a few inches shorter than he now stands, he amazed the upper and lower classmen when he managed to land runner-up position in the College Tennis Tour- nament of 1920. Although defeated in the finals by a Senior, it is fair to say that Ed ' s good nature and respect for dignity was a factor in his opponent ' s victory. Ed also claims the 112 lb. boxing championship of all Jesuit colleges. Where he won the title, or when he assumed it, no one knows, but yet we must give him credit for not announcing the fact until near graduation. He seems capable, how- ever, of defending that title. We can be well assured that Ed ' s congenial smile and happy spirit will enable him to weather the storm of life successfully, and will also add new and abundant friendships to those which he has made these four years. These years passed swiftly, Ed, filled as they were with joy and gladness. We await those to come with eager expectancy and hope of conquest. These, too, will pass swiftly underfoot, and when they have gone, we hope they will leave you still the same imperturbable individual, grown in valor and wisdom, and enriched with the true honors and triumphs of life. Be good, Ed. Tivo miles is a long distance, I ' ll say. One hundred sixteen FRANCIS A. KELLY Watertown, Mass. Frank Kel Cap Real worth requires no interpreter. — Chamfort.

His four years have been years of increasingly active participation in college activities. Frank has gained success both as a student and as an athlete, and has been in addition a pleasant companion and congenial associate. The quarter mile was Frank ' s forte, and he could certainly burn up the cinders in this event. During his Track career he has accumulated quite a collection of gold watches and of medals. Among his fellows Frank was popular, as was proved by his election to the captaincy of the team. Under his leadership Coach Ryder ' s resolute racers had a very successful season, and no one worked harder for this success than Captain Frank. In his Senior year Frank served as Chairman of the Photograph Committee, a position which took up much of his time. Steady, reliable, unassuming and agreeable, Kel has always been well-liked by his classmates. Your days at college were days of triumph, Frank. In many a thrilling race on the track you broke the tape a winner, and in all your classes you maintained a credit- able standing. You have shown the spirit of fight and determination that counts for victory. Boston College bids you farewell, Frank, and you take with you the best wishes of your classmates. May your speed and grit carry you to the van in your chosen profession, and enable you to capture the laurels that go to the winner. What do you know? One hundred seventeen |6o JAMES J.

' ' Jim prepared for Boston College at Goddard Seminary, where he established an athletic record for which he was awarded five varsity sport letters. But at college he found it more advantageous to limit his attentions to Baseball and Track. Baseball was his best bet and his prowess as a pitcher brought him widespread commendation in collegiate circles. During his first two years at the Heights, he showed all the possibilities of a pitching efficiency which he especially manifested during the campaign of 1923. In that illustrious baseball year he defeated Yale, Princeton, University of Pennsylvania, Tufts and many others, marking himself one of the best college pitchers in the East. It was in the cold winter of 1921 that Jim reported for Track, and after a few weeks ' training he was show- ing his old prep school speed. He won many sprint races, among which the New England 300 yard Cham- pionship was his greatest victory. Be it known also, that Jim did not devote all his time, nor surrender every thought to athletics, but like the wise little man that he is, he mingled his play with study and work. In Senior an innovation came into being, namely the Varsity Ethics Club, of which Jim was the first president. Now what but prosperity can be predicted of such a noble beginning?

Joe is a smiling, happy individual, full of laughter and sunshine, yet beneath his joviality he possesses a nature quite in keeping with the staunch character of his famous ancestors of the Emerald Isle. Joe came to us from Boston Latin School, where he starred in athletics. For a year he was content to remain an ordinary student, but his vSophomore year found Joe battling for a place on the Varsity eleven. And right here we must pay tribute to Joe ' s manly qualities. Here he was a strong and able young man striving with all his might to represent Alma Mater on the gridiron. And then, just as the newspapers were heralding Kelly as a promising star, Joe had his wrist broken in a scrimmage. For three years this broken wrist stood between Joe and triumph. Each season found Joe full of hopes and working hard, only to be robbed of all honors by this harrowing nemesis. And yet to see Joe smiling today one would think that he never had a disappointment in life. More power to you Joe. As long as you retain that firm character and happy smile you will always be a man worth while. Undaunted by reverses, you aided the class hockey team to win the college championship, and you pursued your studies with a determination that baffled failure. In class and out of class you showed qualities of a real B. C. man, and you are ably fitted to represent us in the arena of life. Many are there who have found in you a true and worthy friend, and it is our hope that the days of your fellow men will be brightened by your happy disposi- tion. ]] ' hat ' s the matter, Jim?

V. M. (4) When we were in Sophomore year, we had to memorize a httle poem of Shelley ' s to the West Wind, and in it there was some- thing about the hair uplifted from the head of some fierce Maenad; and also something about the locks of the approaching storm. Well, Joe is far from fierce, and his coming does not herald a riot (in fact he is of a happy and amiable disposition), but after he has settled down in class and run his hands through his hair a couple of times, he certainly does remind one of the apjjearance of this Maenad person. We repeat, Joe is of a very happy disposition. He always appears in class in the morning with a smile on his face and, what is better, he keeps the smile through the day. In other words, Joe is an optimist. He also is a third degree Knight of Columbus, which fact may or may not account for his smile. And when it comes to French: Oo, la la! Joe talks that language like an Apache. Of course, he was too young for the A.E.F., but if another war ever comes off, which God and the League of Nations forbid, Joe will probably be a liaison officer. Just imagine him asking some French belle for the way to the village of Pomme de Terre. If you can ' t imagine that, visualize the offices of the Kennedy School of Correspondence. Foreign Language taught to you in two weeks. We, who know you, Joe, feel confident that you will be a credit to the College on the Heights. Vale, Joe, Vale. Going in toivn? One hundred twenty MARK H.

He is at once a most serious student and a lover of fun. If you really wish to banish boredom, just seek out Coke, and spend half an hour listening to him discourse wittily on any subject, enjoy his sparkling anecdotes and shrewd observations, and appreciate how his classmates have spent many a pleasant hour in his company. Mark is the boy with the big smile and he never speaks without being immediately surrounded by an audience. A speech by Mark in a class meeting was received with interest and attention. His views on a subject were always pertinent and well expressed. It is impossible on one page to fully depict the character of a man such as Mark Keohane. Suffice it then to summarize his qualities in a few short sentences. A firm friend, a willing worker, a cheerful comrade, a serious student — such is Mark, and in addition a hearty supporter of the class of ' 24 and all that is to the benefit of Boston College. His popularity among his fellow students attests his worth. In parting with Mark we can only wish him the great- est of success. Years from now it will fill us with glad- ness to be able to grasp his hand, and congratulate him on having reached a position of distinction that will reflect honor on himself, his class and his college.

Frank shines in the art of salesmanship, and has ever been an ardent supporter of debating societies. Though not the loudest member of the class, Kil was not the quietest either, but what he said was generally worth saying. As a worker for the Stylus he was a wonder, and in fact has been acclaimed Ail-American Subscription Agent, because when he tackles a man he always brings him down for a subscription. Philosophy was where Kil excelled in class, and as a logical thinker and expositor of doctrines on free will and kindred subjects, few could equal him. The Pedagogy professor often called on him to settle an educational question and Frank was always there with the solution. Outside of class we always found Frank a friendly congenial comrade, and an all- around good fellow. When he leaves Boston College and tackles his life work, we feel sure that with his good common sense, his pleasing personality and indus- trious character he will reap the rewards that these qualities deserve. Let us hope that his success will be speedy, substantial and enduring. Frank ' s popularity with his classmates was proved by his election as president of the Fulton Debating Society in his Senior year. This was a deserving tribute to Kil ' s unfailing loyalty to the society, and his term of office marked a period of benefit to its members. In parting with Kil we cannot but wish him the reward of his energetic and accomplishing nature, for Frank is a hard working student, and time must find him in the van of life ' s army.

Football (1,2) Triumvirate (1,2,3,4) Royal Rooters (1,2,3,4) B. C. Club of Cambridge Meet Jimma King! There are only a few kings left nowadays, and as a con- sequence Jim must remain forever the prince of good fellows that he is. He was a worthy member of that triumvirate, of which Doherty and Kelleher were also members, and a better booster and more loyal rooter for Boston College would be hard to find. Every function on the Maroon and Gold calendar meant a nota- tion in Jim ' s little notebook. And, be it known that where Jim was there was merriment and laughter, if the affair was a social one, and cheering loud and long if an athletic contest was the attraction. A happy nature is but the outward manifestation of a generous heart, and so it is with Jim. Messrs. Doherty and Kelleher will verify this statement. At all events no one can deny that Jim King was a happy individual, and that he supported the activities of his college. The mere fact that a game was not played in Boston was no hindrance to Jim. AVhat was a short trip to New York if there was a football game to be seen between Fordham and Boston College? Don ' t grow one whit less cheerful when the diffi- culties of life beset you, Jim. Remember that a cer- tain amount of optimism is a great help towards suc- cess. No matter what your occupation, work hard and faithfully, and the reward will be yours. Even should the triumvirate engage in the clothing business, they may become worthy rivals of Hart, Schaffner Marx. I ' ll have ice cream on my pie. 19 2 4 One hundred twenty-three HENRY E. LANNIN Forest Hills, Mass. Hank The soul bursts forth in a clear laugh that ■lengthens on. — Browning. Boston College High School League of the Sacred Heart Sodality B. V. M. Freshman Baseball Manager Royal Rooters This little sketch introduces the sage of Jamaica Plain — Henry Lannin, known to his brother optimists as plain Hank. Hank is a universal sceptic as to the existence of grouches, melancholy, and de- pression, he considers pessimism as com- pletely annihilative, and has espoused Uni- versal Optimism as his go-by, even when confronted with an unlimited procession of e.xams. In other words Hank doesn ' t believe in looking on the dark side of life, and his gracious smile is always in evidence. Hank has always been a loyal B. C. rooter, a true sport, and seldom is an important game played at which Hank ' s deep baritone does not swell the volume of cheering. At Alumni Field, at Braves Field, and at the Boston Arena Hank was always ready to cheer the team on to victory. In after life Hank, you will find that it is a great asset to be able to smile in the face of difficulties, and we advise that you keep your amiable nature. Friendship is a great thing also, and your smile and cheerful disposition can make you friends wherever you go. So go you out into life, Hank, and may you battle with success. May the same smile which you have so often lavished on your classmates cheer the lives of those whom you meet on your way to fame and fortune. Happy were the days we spent at college, Hank, and may those to come be just as happy. May time serve but to impress more deeply on our memory those joyous days when we were classmates. Going home, Greg? One hundred twenty-four JAMES H. LAVELLE, Jr. Framingham, Mass. Jim A face with a smile. — Anon. Boston College High School Sodality B. C. Club of Framingham Vice President (4) The loss of ' 23 was the gain of ' 24 when Jimmy Lavelle, after completing his Junior year, decided to rest a year before entering upon the final lap of his academic race to the common goal of all college men — the sheepskin. Jimmy is a welcome and pleasant addition to the class. Blessed by nature with a sunny and cheerful dis- position, and endowed with the happy fac- ulty of always seeing the silver lining, is it any wonder that Jim was welcomed? Did you ever drop into the Assembly Hall about 9.20 or at recess, and wonder who was tickling the ivories surrounded by the old gang ? It was none other than genial Jim, and in the gang was sure to be found his inseparable companion and particeps criminis, Johnny Brennan. In the long years following graduation, when Senior is but a pleasant memory, it is certain that Johnny and Jim, as two of Framingham ' s leading citizens, will often meet and reminisce of bright college days, and the experiences they had as members of the class of ' 24. From the above one might be led to gather that Jim was devoting his time to merely cheering on his fellow classmates, and was neglecting the more serious things of college life. But such is not the case. More than once outside of class have we listened to Jim ' s philosophic discussions on such topics as the simplicity of the human soul, and the impracticability of the Socialistic Ideal Industrial State. As a member of Major Cavanaugh ' s law class he showed promise. His friendly manner and cheerful nature make one disposed to wish him the greatest of success in life. Any tune you prefer?

Club of Arlington Accompanying this little description we have a wonderful reason why colleges can succeed — ' ' Joe Leahy himself, a tall, mus- cular youth who hails from the fair town of Arlington. Joe early endeared himself to all his classmates by his quiet, unobtrusive method of making friends. He was always anxious and eager to further the interests not only of the class of ' 24, but also of the College, and everything even remotely connected with it. ' Joe showed his true loyalty by his faithful attendance at Sodality for the whole four years, and also by his success as a Fulton debater. Joe is the backbone of the Arlington B. C. Club, and a graduate of Arlington High School. As a lineman on the Senior football team he covered himself with renown and glory, joining in the success of his classmates over the powerful Junior eleven. The entire class takes this occasion of wishing ' ' Joe the same success in the future that he attained in col- lege circles — a man of men, ready at all times to serve his class, his college and his church. It was indeed a pleasure to attend a college with men such as Joe for classmates. His good-natured ways and his happy dis- position won him many friends. To know Joe was to like him, and we regret that our four years of associa- tion must come to an end. Filled with regret, though we be at this parting, we are buoyed up by the hope that a promising future lies before him. You, Joe, are prepared to show the world your true worth. In your merits and ability we place our confidence, Joe, and wish you the best of good fortune in your life work.

Many a dull period has Tony whiled away for us regaling us with his able stories. Tony has hidden some of his talents under a bushel, apparently, for he has never trod before the footlights in collegiate drama, although we are told that in his home parish no play is complete without Tony in the cast. His activities at B. C. outside of class have been mainly confined to his managerial duties on the Track team. Between Coach Ryder and himself they turn out pretty good speedsters at the college. In class he has been a consistent student, and ever ready with an answer to any question. To sum up, we would characterize Tony as a bright intelligent youth, with a friendly smile, an appeal- ing personality and an energetic business-like manner. The boys on the track team say that he treats them superbly on the trips. His specialty is managing, so beware, ye captains of industry. It would not be a great surprise to us in years to come to find Tony working his way to the head of some large establish- ment, for Tony has many qualities that will prove assets in his struggle for success. Good luck to you, Tony, and may we have the pleasure some day on congratulating you on reaching an eminent position in life. Say listen, and I ' ll tell you something jiinny. One hundred twenty-seven m JOHN P. LEONARD Dorchester, Mass. Jake l Iy Iieart Is true as steel. — Shakespeare. Boston College High School Sodality (1,2) League of the Sacred Heart (1,2,3,4) If you ever visit that quaint little hamlet twenty miles south of South Burlap (Ash- mont), you will find that Jake Leonard is a power in the community. All the children of the district call him Santa Claus. Got a quarter, ' Jake ' and Give us a cigarette, ' Jake ' are the town bywords. Quiet, studious and retiring, few sus- pected that he was a splendid athlete; yet the great success gained by the football, basketball and baseball teams of the Ashmont district are mainly due to Jake ' s efforts. Although he thought that he could never have made the college teams, his local supporters are convinced that some of our present letter wearers would be letter-less if Jake had been a member of the squad. Those who have heard Jake ' s sparkling wit and clever repartee, refuse to listen to any of our famous after-dinner speakers. It is the more welcome because in the midst of a conversation, his eyes will sparkle and a retort will issue forth to keep the boys in good humor for the day. He is also renowned in the Lower Mills district for his faithful services with Uncle Sam ' s mail. We see a future for Jake abounding in success and prosperity, and our every wish for the realization of this is his. He possesses the ability to accomplish great things in life, and it is our hope that the years before him will present opportunities that will bring Jake ' s true worth to the surface, and that Jake will take such advantage of these opportunities that his station in life will be one of honor and prominence, gained by sincere, honest and industrious effort.

Club of Winthrop (4) Frank is a prominent citizen of tlie City by the Sea, and President of the Boston College Club of Winthrop. He came to us in the fall of 1920, and from the very start he filled a place in our academic, athletic and social life. Scholar, Athlete and Gentle- man, are the most appropriate words we can find to apply to him in view of activities which have marked him as one of the Men Higher Up. He is first a student, second an athlete and always a gentleman. His contribu- tions to the basketball campaign of 1921 and 1923, his baseball activities, both in and out of the college, have brought favorable comment to himself and hence to the college. In and out of class Frank evinced a desire to advance himself. His versatility in his studies has placed him among the Men Higher Up in every branch of study, and we are puzzled to predict the field that will claim the exercise of his well-balanced powers. Time will tell. His vigorous, reserved, modest, unassuming, yet staunch character, have given him a high place in the esteem of his friends, and it is with reluctance that we say Good-bye, Old Pal, we ' re betting on you. To have a man such as you winning honor in the world will be a source of great pride to ' 24, Frank. May your life be one of honest effort, of well-accomplished aims and rewarded merit. Sure, ask Jim Locke or Bill Liicey. One hundred twenyt-nine JAMES H. LOCKE, Jr. Rockland, Mass. Jim When the shore is ivon at last, Who will count the billows past? — Keble. Rockland High School L Triumvirate (2,3,4) Commuters (1,2,3,4) Jim is one of the few men at B. C. who hail from Rockland, Mass. From his first year, when he came to us from Rockland High, Jim immediately won the good will and friendship of his classmates by his cheerful disposition. As a blues-dispeller, he is one of the best, and a few moments in his cordial company is the best tonic for de- pressed feelings ever offered, as can testify Messrs. Lucey and Littleton, the others of the triumvirate. In his spare time, Jim decorates windows for the Woolworth Company in Rockland, and it is here that a story must be told. Were it not for the fact that Jim is so engrossed in his commercial pursuits that he cannot or will not find time for any other line of extra scholastic endeavor, there is a great probability that the name of smiling Jimmie Locke would be adorning the sporting pages of the various Boston newspapers. Jim, however, prefers, in his own way, to devote the major portion of his efforts to commercial rather than athletic enterprises, and it is for this determination that we must admire him. Rumor has it that Jim is taking up the game that made Gene Sarazen famous. Well, Jim, if you hit that white ball with the same force and firmness that characterizes your every action, and then walk after it with your characteristic patience and good humor, there is every reason to believe— as the sport writers say — that you will be a complete success at the game. Here ' s hoping, Jim, that above all else you will be a complete success in the occupation you choose as a life work. Hey, Red! One hundred tliirty WILLIAM L. LUCEY Wenham, Mass.

Beverly High discharged him at the end of three years, and when he had successfully completed his Freshman year at Boston College, he returned to Beverly High for his sheepskin. His classmates prophesy a wonderful future for Bill in the business world. As a Jack-of-all-Trades, he has worked his way through college. From harvesting ice and shovelling snow to instructing beginners in pasture polo, as well as teaching in the local high school, Bill holds the crown of versatility. As a student, Bill ranks with the best. For four years these classic halls have echoed to the effervesence of his oratory. In fact, it is his hobby. Perhaps his inclination for argument is superinduced by the brilliancy of his auburn locks, but at any rate, Bill has left behind him an enviable record in debating circles. His popularity extends to his own home town of Wenham, where he is president of the Hamilton- Wen- ham B. C. Club. He also enjoys the honor of being captain and star player of the first golf team ever initiated at B. C. This popularity, keenness of intellect and loyalty to his friends we believe will push him up the ladder of success, to that position of eminence that we all know he deserves. Fare thee well! Bill.

Who is he, who possesses such marked ap- pearance of manliness and merit? Ask no more. ' Tis one of our classmates, a tall, manly, courteous and unassuming young man — Gregory Ludovic. As Greg he is known to us, and more — as friend and comrade. Greg came from B. C. High, and in his quiet pleasant way established himself almost immediately as an active member of the class. To class and college activities alike he lent a helping hand, and gave his support unstintingly. His pleasant, court- eous manner gained him many friends, and Greg proved himself a man worthy of friendship. He was successful as a student, and traversed the thorny path to Senior in safety. To express in a few words our full appreciation of Greg Ludovic is impossible. Let it suffice to say that among his classmates Greg is considered a true friend, a loyal collegian, and a man of worth and integrity. A worthy representative of Boston College do we consider him, and a true Catholic college gentle- man, whom we are proud to name as one of us. In giving Greg to the world we offer no apologies. Taking him as he is, a man of character and ability, he should succeed, and will succeed, we hope, beyond his fondest dreams. We leave you, Greg hoping that when we meet in future years you will have attained a worthy and prominent position among your fellowmen. We confidently expect to see you bravely upholding the standards of your class and our college, and proving to the world the caliber and quality of the sons of Alma Mater.

Drive In the very shadows of the great Bunker Hill monument to American Patriotism, this calm, grey-eyed, black-haired boy first saw the light of day. Years passed and he re- moved to Somerville. These years Gene was not idle, but daily came to Boston Latin School for the knowledge he loved, and because he was an honor student, now the footsteps of his erudite progress mark the records there. By this time the world, (that part of it which knew him) began to understand Gene for what he was, and what he is today, a combination of adventurer and philosopher with a vein of romance in between. And as such we took him four years ago, when we first met him as a timid Freshman, a pilgrim at the shrine of knowl- edge on the Heights. These few years have quickly glided by, but have not changed our opinion of Gene. He is still the adventurer, accepting each day not as twenty- four hours, but as a batch of so many changing events to give life a new appearance. And Gene is still the philosopher, and has still the romance in his soul, as many pages of the Stylus testify. So he goes forth from the Heights, the same old Gene, and he will go far in this world, because there is unrest in his blood to drive him on and on to success, the philosopher side of him taking events as they come, and fitting them to his needs, and the romance in him coloring the passing years. The time has come to say farewell, Gene, old boy, and we part with you, full of hope that the years to come will be kind to you, and will find you ascending nearer and nearer to the summit of fame and fortune.

Club Quiet and unassuming as he is, we do not know exactly what to say concerning this illustrious youth from the wilds of Wake- field. Arthur is one of those individuals who has the unforgivable faculty of hiding his talents under the proverbial bushel, but the fact that Arthur is President of the Boston College Club of Wakefield is proof that he is popular in his home town and, after all, that is quite an asset. Not that we mean to infer that he was not well known while with the class of 1924, — on the contrary, many enjoyed his genial friendship, — but the difficulty confronting us is that we do not know any predominating activity of his, concerning which we could write. As a promoter of the League of the Sacred Heart, Arthur did valiant and noble service, much to the satisfaction of the Reverend Director, Fr. McCluskey, S.J. It was not an uncommon sight to see Arthur, leaflets in hand, strolling down the aisles of the classroom, doing his lay-missionary work. To those who knew him intimately, he was a true friend and, above all, an optimist at all times. In him we find all the qualities that should and do make up a true son of Boston College. Character, erudition and a pleasing personality; and the Class of 1924 feels sure that in the passing of Arthur from the portals of Alma Mater, the world gains a man whose sterling qualities will serve him in good stead, whatever may be his choice of occupation. Well, let ' s go, Henry. One hundred thirty-four EARL T. LYONS Brighton, Mass. Earl Upon his will he binds a radiant chain. Boston College High School Sodality Marquette Debating Society Fulton Debating Society Track.

This certainly was true during his college career; for none of the ' 24 men took a more nonchalant, and yet interested attitude towards college life as did this same Earl. Too, his agreeable dis- position won for him many friends during his few years at B. C, while his strength of character cemented those numerous friendships. One more word about this chap ' s manly character, and his many other accomplishments at Boston College will be noted. He has a fine estimation of the relative value of things, and always and ever detected the superficial and ephemeral. With his deep, grotto voice, how he could thrill the erudites of the Fulton. Keenly analytic, he shattered opposing arguments, or at least battered them so that they seemed to be something that they were not. All to fit the occasion. The Fulton did much for Earl, and Earl did much for the Fulton. Senior found Earl gracefully fox-trotting upon the cinder-path, under the tutelage of Coach Ryder. He also found much time to devote to interclass baseball in his final year at B. C. A one-time great man made the remark that a sense of humor was essential in life. Earl Lyons has one. It is a requisite, but this youth seems to have all the necessary requisites to succeed in life. Wherever his broadcasting station may be, and whatever his mes- sage, 1924 knows that he has a worthwhile word for the world. Hello, Mac, old boy. One hundred thirty-five JOHN T.

The latter the Earl, the former Jack. This is a team that has been harnessed together during the greater part of their college life. We are con- cerned here, however, with the McCarthy boy. He not only proved to be a model for the class in study, but he also found much time to devote to the numerous interclass athletic activities. John came to the Oxford of America some time after the Great World War. He had much experience in a practical way, having guided the destinies of an intercity trucking corporation during his high school career, on a part time basis. Hence, he was able to ride roughshod over the Latin and Greek of P ' reshman and Sophomore. Junior and Senior were easy for Mac, since he applied his practical business logic to the Scholastic system, and as a result finished among the leaders in the philosophy race. If there was one man in 1924 who fought and worked for the prestige of his class in inter-class athletics, John was that man. He answered every call for class candidates for Hockey, Football, Baseball, and Mah Jong. This Roxbury lad was superb at each and all. His early training was received on the sand-lots of Boston, whence many a sturdy athlete has come. He fought with might and main for the ' 24 colors, and his classmates owe him much. John will make his mark in life. His classmates are with him in his every undertaking. When the class roll of honor is tolled off at that great superman reunion of ' 24, the name of John McCarthy will stand among the first in things accomplished. On to fame, Johnl ' take vour order.

Leader of that intrepid band of the faithful who uphold the honor of Boston College in the heart of the Common- wealth. Such is Bill McCarthy and we might remark that Bill is just the boy for the job, for he has the characteristics of a dyed-in-the-wool B. C. adherent. Bill ' s day did not consist of class work only. Before, between and after classes he helped to run the College Lunch Room and in so doing showed the proper spirit of an industrious youth. And yet Bill found time to lend his support to the college teams in their contests, and he even participated in intramural contests when the occasion demanded. Judging by his career at college Bill will succeed in after years. He has shown that he means business by his willingness to work and to attend college at the same time. In after years the training he has received at B. C. should stand him in good stead, and we confidently expect that by diligence and work he will rise high in the world. College days are over Mac. Their joys and troubles, triumphs and failures are only memories now. Yet their influence on our lives is marked. We leave Alma Mater hoping to conquer a world that appears full of promise.

Club of South Boston John McEachern is a native of Dor- chester, and true to reports, Mac is some boy. Twink first brolie the ice to fame at St. Joseph College in Princeton, New- Jersey, where he prepared for Boston Col- lege. His prep career was full of action and he is one of the few athletes who ever at- tained to three sport letters at St. Joseph ' s. He captained the basketball team in his senior year. In baseball, Twink has attracted attention as a pitcher. In the summer, he pitches baseball, and we may read some day that McGraw signs Twink McEachern. Track was his third objective, and he holds high honors in this line of activity as a high jumper. Since coming to B. C, Mac has devoted the greater part of his attention to study, and outside of class to a business position which he has held for four years. As a student Jack ranks high, and his intellectual abilities are the envy of all. Also as a debater, he has shown his versatility. And now, as graduation is upon us, and we must leave behind us these beloved walls and fond associa- tions, the world gains in Mac a man of great business acumen and initiative, of whom great things are ex- pected. We, his friends, look forward to his steady climb to success. Impressed by his record and his will- ingness to work, we can only express our hearty desire to see him forge to the front. Go out and win Jack. In whatever line of activity you engage we hope to see you establish yourself as a leader, a worthy representa- tive of 1924. Hello, Tom! One hundred thirty-eight THOMAS S.

Despite his daily journey from Wakefield, Tom has found time to add his share to the athletic history of Boston College. Though far from being a giant, Tom excels in four sports. When only a Freshman he was leadoff man on the famous relay team that defeated Holy Cross for the first time in years. As a Sophomore Tom won the Amateur Championship of New England over the 600 yard route. In the Spring he gave up running and earned his letter at baseball. In addition to the sweaters that Tom has received for his ability in athletics, he has obtained good marks in his classes. His friends are numerous, and everyone knows what a good fellow is Tommy Mac. We feel proud to have Tom as a member of our class, and we hope that in years to some he will by his success in life bring honor to the class of ' 24 and praise to Alma Mater. In graduating from Boston College you are getting an excellent start in life, Tom, and we hope that with your speed and spirit of determina- tion you will be able to break the tape a winner. At college you showed qualities of fight and determination, and earned a goodly measure of success. In life, we hope, these same qualities will bring you fame and achievement. Say listen, ' Kel. ' One hundred thirty-nine EDWARD McKENNA Roxbury, Mass. Ed Mac Wit is theloadstar oj each human thouglit. — Greene. Boston English High School Track Squad Dramatics Edward McKenna hails from Roxbury, where he is idolized by all for the congenial spirit which he possesses. Mac attended Boston English High where he excelled as a student and athlete. He was a member of the track team, winning two letters, and starring in the 300 yard run. After having been graduated from English, Mac took a finishing course in Latin and Greek at Boston College High, and from there he came to the Heights. Here he has grown rapidly in the favor of his associates. As a wit, Mac has made many friends, for there never was an end to his merry witticisms, and Tom Mclntire, who probably has heard more of them than any other, will testify to Ed ' s good nature and all-round qualities as a good fellow. Mac is one of the College ' s dependable actors and he has played the comedian several times in a number of College plays. As a student he has few superiors, for he is as quick to answer a professor correctly as he is to expound wit. Ed was a member of the Brosnahan Debating Society in Freshman, and manifested great abilities as an orator. His attention to dramatics has prevented him from entering athletic activities. However, he was a member of the track squad and in the races he en- tered gave a very good account of himself. Mac intends to take up Electrical Engineering at M. I. T., and our best wishes are with him. He has set a goal for himself in life, which we hope he will reach with success. The engineering profession will be benefited by the acquisition of such a man as Ed McKenna. You have our best wishes for your future prosperity Ed, and we hope to see you a leader in your line. Boston College will be glad to see you attain a place of eminence among your fellows. One hundred forty FRANCIS A. McLaughlin Cambridge, Mass.

C. Club of Cambridge (1,2,3,4) Frank McLaughlin is one of those char- acters who bring credit to any place. Mac is a native of Cambridge, and prepared for B. C. at the Cambridge Latin School. Ever since Frank was knee high to a peanut, he has just adored oratory, and as a result he has followed debating extensively, having been actively connected with the Brosnahan and Fulton debating societies. He was a member of the lecture team, which toured Eastern Massachusetts, debating questions of vital importance in cities and towns, and has thus assisted in bringing great credit to Alma Mater. A member of the Cambridge Council, K. C. and also a regular Sodalist, he has shown his keen interest in affairs Catholic. He was a member of the Senior Football and Baseball teams. As a pig-skin chaser, the class of ' 25 will attest to his ability as a crashing, dashing end, for he repeatedly threw the opposing backs for losses. He should be a sensation in the Senior Baseball team at shortstop, and his feature playing ought to enable the Seniors to defeat, again, the Junior class. But as a student, Frank excelled. His intention to study law after graduating, fills us with assurance that, considering his wonderful personality, intellect, and oratorical abilities, his success is positively assured. Men of his stamp are those who bring honor and glory to Alma Mater. We confidently predict that the years to come will be marked by hard work and perseverance on the part of Frank McLaughlin, and we sincerely hope that his efforts will be crowned with glorious suc- cess. Best of luck, Frank. Where does the test end, Ed? One hundred forty-one JOSEPH D. MACHADO Dorchester, Mass. Joe IVork is my recreation. — Longfellow. Dorchester High School Class Football (4) B. C. Club of Dorchester Joseph, better known to his fellow class- mates as Joe, received his early education at Dorchester High School, graduating with the class of 1920. Not fully satisfied with a high school education, Joe sought a college where he might receive a Christian education, based on high ideals and lofty principles; and in so seeking it is not neces- sary to say that as no alternative presented itself, the month of September 1920 found Joseph Machado knocking at the portals of Boston College. Joe was welcomed, tried, and found to be capable. During his four years of association with us we have known him to be a consistent, industrious and hard working student, and a fellow who might really be called a friend in the truest sense of the word. His standing in his classes, as a result of his untiring efforts, has always been high and the continuance of such efforts in what- ever walk of life he may enter after graduation will not fail in rewarding him with that great success which whole-hearted endeavor truly merits. To sing the praises or enumerate the many sterling qualities of Joe would be next to impossible in this limited space, but it is sufficient to say that he came, he saw and he conquered, surmounting any obstacle which tended to hinder his progress in learning, with a surprising quickness of decision and action. As fire is the test of gold, so adversity is the test of strong men, and Joe withstood each succeeding acid test. How are the chances, Danny? One hundred jorty-two LESLIE L MADDEN Wellesley, Mass.

If you have the slightest doubt as to the verac- ity of this statement, cast your eyes at the handsome picture that adorns this page, and behold Tom Murphy ' s only rival as the Class handsome man. Les came to us from the High School with a most formidable reputation, and where Wilson and Hughes (not the statesmen) carry gold footballs, Les sports gold medals of academic attainments. He hasn ' t slipped a cog in disentangling the wonderful and difficult ideas of Cicero, Horace, and Demosthenes, and in refuting the fallacies of Kant and Hume. Verily the powers of intellect that Les possesses are envied by many. And then we can ' t omit mention of his verbal crossfire in Jurisprudence, aided of course by Lavelle, Brennan, Sullivan and Emmet. Outside of class, Les aids in running one of our national insurance companies, and judging by his line in school he must be a first-class salesman and underwriter. In the social world also, Les plays a part, and his presence at any college func- tion surely lends grade to the occasion. That you will succeed in your chosen line, Les, we have no doubt. But when you have amassed your fortune don ' t forget some of those who lent you matches for the last four years. With your smiling countenance and your generous nature you are bound to forge to the front, Les, and none can deny that you deserve suc- cess. At future reunions it will be one of our greatest joys to receive your hearty welcome and pleasant greeting. Yes, sir, we insure everything and anything.

Such is David Mahoney. He came to the Heights from the land of Tories and Whigs to be en- rolled in the class of ' 24, having finished his preparation at Boston College High School in 1920. Dave became interested in athletics and for a time was a runner under the tutelage of our famous Jack Ryder. However, sports alone did not occupy his entire attention during his spare time. He also looked to intellectual activities, engaging in his first year in battles of words as a member of the Brosnahan Debating Society. He is well known and liked for his dry wit, which has made his presence among us most welcome. Along literary lines he has also excelled, as is evidenced by the numerous verses written by him and published in the Stylus. Dave leaves us, as many others in the class, with best wishes for his success and with our hopes that our parting may not be a long one. Quiet, modest and always sociable, he has been a worthy member of the class of 1924. The future, we hope, holds much in store for him, and our best wishes go out to him for the suc- cess which we know will accompany the efforts of all those loyal sons of ' 24 who unfurl the banner of Noblesse Oblige and live as true Catholic gentlemen.

It took these two years for Ned to learn the error of his ways, and so it was not until Junior year that he en- rolled at the Heights. He made up for lost time, however, and fell right into the place we had waiting for him. Ned is quite an athlete. At Boston Latin he was a three letter man, and at Fordham he held down the Varsity shortstop berth for two years. In addition Ned is an interesting conversationalist, and his friends at B. C. have spent many pleasant hours in his company. He believed in supporting class and college activities, and his popularity among the members of the B. C. Dorchester Club was attested to by his election to the office of Treasurer of that society. Well, Ned, old boy, here ' s hoping that the years passing swiftly underfoot will all bring you increasing honor and success. They were pleasant days that we spent as classmates on Chestnut Hill, and it is our hope that those to come will be just as happy. May they hold much in store for you, and find you rapidly assuming a position of power and honor among your fellows. We leave you, Ned, trusting that when we meet at some future date you will have naught to recount but stories of triumph and success. Those happy meetings will serve to recall the joyous days, when you and we were classmates, men of ' 24, and worked together at the College on the Hilltop.

In addition to its three varsity athletes we have John Maloney, that ambi- tious youth with the quiet pleasant manner. John was graduated from Boston College High School, and has for four years been a hard-working student and loyal booster of Boston College. John ' s college days have been far from idle. Dick showed the proper spirit of a true collegian by spending his Saturdays as a salesman in a downtown department store. This willingness to work was coupled with a real desire to grasp the matter in class, and the result was a very assiduous native of Watertown. The terrors of Horace, Cicero, Plato, Demosthenes and Juvenal and the difficulties involved in refuting Spinoza, Descartes, Fichte, Schelling, Hegel and others only served to make John study all the more. In Sophomore, John was Vice President of his class section. All through his course he has been interested in the success of B. C. athletic teams. It is rumored that John is quite proficient in the sport line himself, being an able golfer. With his industry and determination, John should fare well in life. Our best wishes go with him wherever he goes to reach his goal in life, for we are convinced that if persistence and effort count for anything, that John is bound to obtain a goodly measure of success. Here ' s hoping, John, that failure may be unknown to you and that your life be one of true joy. Ha! ha! One hundred jorly-aix ARTHUR F. MANNING Waltham, Mass.

Art ' s pet subject is the discussion of cell formation as seen in the root tip of the onion or tradascantia, and his dissertations on this subject, given at all times and in all places from his own cultured city to the vacation resorts of Boston Common, have won renown for him to such an extent that he is now permanent Vice-President of the Fabre Club, made famous by Bart Hogan. In Freshman Art manifested a great love for the amoeba, paramoecium, vorticella and euglena, and for his efforts received the medal. He stuck to them as closely — well, as closely as Delaney sticks to Dooling, and that ' s some closeness. But in both cases the closeness shows results, and results count. Art is also a member of the famous lawyer trio made up of Lavelle, Brennan and Art himself. Whether this trio is a fraternity by accident or design, and whether its purpose is to improve Waltham, Framingham and other outlying districts, we have not been able to deter- mine. As a story teller Art shines, and he has many inter- ested listeners to his witty picturesque tales. His most famous apothegm, used afterwards by Neal O ' Hara, was made at the Vermont-B. C. Mud Carnival : Boston College should erect a bronze aspirin tablet in memory of all those present today. We can picture Art in years to come as a leader in the medical profession, and the earnestness with which he has followed his course of studies argues well for his future success.

Tom arrived from Taunton four years ago to drink in the knowledge gained in B. C. lecture rooms. His chief indoor sport has been work in the laboratory. Along with his constant companion and colleague, Jack Breen, he has endeavored to brighten the medical world with his knowl- edge, and unofficial reports have it that the discoveries of this pair will rank them on a par with the Mayo brothers, and other famous medicos of the day. A thorough gentleman Tom has always pro ' ed himself to be, and we can only predict a successful career as a Doctor for this industrious youth, whose sole aim in life will be to lessen the pains of his fellow men. Tom has spent many hours in lecture room and laboratory at B. C. and that these hours may have their full profit is our hearty wish. It will reflect honor on the name of Alma Mater if Tom attains the high position in the medical world that his friends foresee. In parting with him we wish him the greatest of success in his chosen profession, and hope that the day may soon arrive when we may boast of the fact that he was a classmate of ours.

As the subject of this treatise we have the real Sunny Jim of 1924. Jim Meehan, of Salem and St. John ' s Prep., is the boy with the smile that won ' t wear off, a real dyed-in-the-wool optimist, and a charter member of the Anti- worry club. The day is dark indeed on which Jim goes around with a grouch on. His happy countenance is ever in evidence at college festivities, and Jim is a supporter of both class and college events. His jovial nature has made Jim a welcomed mem- ber of the class, and his smile has maintained his standing among us. Little wonder then that he has made so many friends at college and is welcomed by one and all. You leave us, Jim, to conquer the world. Go you, then, and spread sunshine along your path, melting away the mists of care and trouble with your sunny smile. We, your, comrades, believe that you are fitted to make a name for yourself in life. At this our parting, Jim, while we regret that these four years of pleasant asso- ciation must come to an end, yet we are full of hope that the years to come will bring success to all. When we meet again, at some future date, your happy smile and cheerful greeting will serve to recall the pleasant days that were spent by us as students at the Oxford of America. May the days that intervene between this hopeful parting and that happy reunion find you ever increasing in all that is manly, noble and good. See you later, Jim, and, let us hope, still smiling and happy, and, in addition, prosperous and content. Good luck, Jim. i s Hi! Murph. 19 2 4 One hundred forty-nine WILLIAM H. MELLEY Chelsea, Mass.

One page may seem sufficient for the average fellow, but one soon realizes the inadequacy of such a space for the full recounting of the deeds of a man like Bill Melley. As an athlete Bill was best known. Basketball and football were the sports in which he chose to bring fame to B. C. and glory to himself. He was honored with the captaincy of the basket-tossers in Junior, and had the distinction of being leader of the first B. C. team to vanquish Holy Cross. On the gridiron he was a capable fearless end, and for three years won the coveted B. Bill ' s athletic endeavors, however, were not confined to the playing field. He was elected to the presidency of the Athletic Association, a position of honor at Boston College. As a further testimonial of his popu- larity among his fellows, Bill was made President of the B. C. Club of Chelsea. Nor have we yet recounted all the honors and achievements of this versatile young man. Know you, reader, that Bill strode the boards as leading man in a recent stage production in his native city. He is also in the cast of this year ' s college play. Be you also acquainted with the fact that in his Junior year he graced the Fulton Debating Society with his presence. Finally let us mention that Bill was a bright stu- dent, a leader in the class in Jurisprudence. In all probability he will enter the field of law.

Class Secretary (3,4) In the fall of 1920, a tall angular youth left the Dorchester countryside, unheralded and un-press agented, and entered the por- tals of Boston College. But ambition burned within this youth, and he soon engaged in many collegiate activities. In company with other Freshmen he reported for Track. The eagle eye of Coach Ryder saw in him the makings of a good hurdler, and under his careful guidance the youngster worked hard and persistently. Success rewarded his efforts, and Bob Merrick became a hurdler of note, and his speed enabled him to win the Eastern Intercol- legiate Championship, and to equal the world ' s record for the 45-yard high hurdles. In addition Bob is one of the privileged few to whom Boston College has awarded the inter-collegiate stripe. He won this honor as a Sophomore, by placing in the annual outdoor meet of the I. C. A. A. A. A. But versatility is correctly predicated of Bob not only for his athletic prowess, for Bob played on the class football and hockey teams, but also for his ability along other lines of collegiate endeavor. He has been a mem- ber of the college orchestra for four years, and of the band for three years, surrendering this position in his senior year in order to lead the cheering section at the football games. His popularity among his classmates was attested to by the fact that he was twice elected Secretary of the class. Let us hope, Bob, that in the battle of life you may successfully clear all obstacles that lie between you and success. Is that a fact?

On the 31st of December, 1799, George Washington, the Father of his Country, died at Mt. Vernon. Just a century later, December 31, 1899, there was born at Roxbury, Mass., our class leader, John F. Monahan, a second George Wash- ington. Back in Freshman we needed a president. In our midst rose John in a loquacious manner. He convinced us that we needed him and John was immediately elected to office. By sheer merit and the force of his personality, which was both pleasing and popular, John was reeelected each year. To enumerate in a few short lines all the college achievements of John Monahan is impossible. x s Class President he was ever active, planning and acting for the welfare of the class and the college. And yet he found time to write for the Heights and to act as Business Manager of the Stylus, sur- rendering this latter post only when the arduous duties of the Presidency demanded it. At such a time as this, we can readily see that John is due to accomplish great things in life. His honor, his principle, his integrity and his abilty speak trumpet- tongued. No matter in what path of life he walks we look to see him rise rapidly, and to assume a position as a leader of his fellows. He is by nature a leader and a worker, and has shown proficiency in both roles. Wliat ' s the trouble, m ' lacU One hundred fijty-two FRANCIS X. MOONEY Watertown, Mass.

Newspaper publicity concerning Frank has been mainly centered about his athletic achievements and has omitted cognizance of his other capabilities. But let it be known, reader, than Frank is a versatile young man and efficient along other lines. He has acquired the happy knack of co-ordinating athletics with academics harmoniously and successfully. Lately Frank augmented his repertoire of accomplishments by appearing as end man in a minstrel show held in his native hamlet, and, according to those present, the days of Dockstader were then and there revived. Frank is a baseball catcher of parts, as all Watertown fans know, and has a keen eye as a basket-shooter, as many college teams have found out. It was a common thing during the basketball season to pick up the paper and read that Mooney of Boston starred. Nor does Frank ' s athletic prowess end here. During the summer he acts as a life-saver at one of the beaches, and more than once has Frank helped some overzealous swimmer from the waves. This, in brief, recounts the accomplishments of Frank Mooney. But let us add that Frank is one of the best- natured fellows in the school, a hard worker in class activities, and a true loyal friend. It is with real sincerity that we wish Frank the best of good fortune in his life work, and we hope some day to have the opportunity to congratulate him on having arrived at a prominent and worthy station in life.

All great doctors are addicted to this weed of facts. But Frank Alulligan is doubly addicted to the middle term, and as the logicians would justly conclude, Frank will be not only the greatest of all doctors, living and trying to live, but he will so far excel in his line that his praise shall be sung by B. C. men wherever men of ' 24 gather. Frank, who comes from the old home town of the College, Newton, is well known as a real example of what a doctor should be. His training in the languages and in philosophy have taught him what all doctors, or would-be doctors, do not have the opportunity to grasp. The very training Frank has received, plus his wonderful personality, would crown the future successes of any practitioner. His clients will be numerous, even as his friends are innumerable. And as the picture submitted herewith testifies, he has been endowed with a truly remarkable physiognomy, the kind which is best suited to conceal the secrets of his profession.

There may not be much of an editorial appearance about his picture, but just the same he was entrusted with the care and arrangement of this book. Let the book speak for the Editor. John is a native of Somerville, and en- tered Boston College from our James St. Prep School. His days at the Heights have been well spent, those activities pros- pered to which he lent his aid. Versatility seems to be his middle name, for he made himself known both as a student and as an athlete. Although studies ranked high in his affection, he did not give his entire attention to these. The Track team had in him a willing member, and both as a hurdler and as a high jumper he won points for Boston College. He has taken part in more than one track victory over our ancient rival, Holy Cross, and has won his track letter for the past two years. Let that suffice for John ' s achievements. Much more could be said about Mul, but space is limited and all that we hope is that Johnny prospers as well in later life as he did on the Heights. Through intimate asso- ciation with him we have learned that he possesses those qualities essential to success, and we hope that time will tell the tale of his victorious conquest. The present edition of the Sub Turri bears excellent testi- mony to his abilities, and we need dwell no longer on the good qualities he possesses. Suffice it to say that they are of such a nature and possessed in such a degree that they should in time spell success for our writing hurdler. Got any writeups? One hundred fijty-five ARTHUR C.

His favorite activity, however, has been the Heights, and after three years ' work he was rewarded by being elected Treasurer of that thriving news medium. In all-college and class activities Murph has been deeply interested, and there never was a successful social function that he didn ' t attend. Possessed of a keen sense of humor, Art has helped to smile away many a dull moment, and is believed by many to have been the heartiest laugher at the jokes of one histor} ' professor. Certainly during his four years at B. C. Art has been an ardent supporter of the college, her teams and societies, and never a team played an important contest without Murph in the stands. In whatever line of work he engages we wish him a sure and speedy success, and hope that he can reap many benefits from his four years on the Heights. May he never lose his happy dis- position, for a smiling way is surely an asset in life.

Boston College High School Marquette Debating Society (1,2) Sodality (1,2,3,4) Chairman Parish Committee of B. C. Drive (1) West Roxbury B. C. Club (1,2,3,4) Fulton Debating Society Like the work-days in the week, the Murphys in Senior numbered six. In class they occupied an entire row, and outside of class their activities were manifold. It would require a separate department to record the deeds of the entire tribe, but we are confined to 250 words and to one mem- ber of the clan, Connie. Our subject is one of those quiet, easy- going, good-natured chaps, a friend to everyone and of everyone. As a member of the Marquette and Fulton debating societies he sought to develop the art of speaking easily and interestingly to a gather- ing. His pleasant manners served him in good stead when B. C. inaugurated her two million dollar drive in 1920, and he was chosen Chairman of the Parish Drive Committee. As a member of the Sodality, of Jack Ryder ' s outing club and finally of the West Roxbury B. C. Club, Connie showed himself an active student and widened his circle of friends. It is an evident truism that all cannot lead. While some are in the forefront, the rest of us must content ourselves with learning our matter, supporting college activities, and cementing those friendships which are such an important factor in college life, and which mean so much in after life. Connie was happiest when the old gang would get together and either discuss mat- ters of world importance or of college life. We cannot foretell the walk of life Connie will choose, but with a well-rounded education joined to his sunny tempera- ment and good-natured disposition, it is hard to see how the world can refuse him success in abundance.

Ed was smiling the first day he came to B. C. and he has con- tinued to smile, to make friends and to prove himself a sociable personage. Ed has been prominent in Track all through his course. He was a member of the cross-country team for four years, serving as Captain in Junior and Senior. In the Spring Ed was a two-miler. He twice placed in the Holy Cross meet, and has won a number of trophies in distance races. In addition Ed has been a hearty supporter of all B. C. athletic games. Im- portant games at Braves Field, Worcester, or at the Arena generally found Ed in the stands, cheering for the team. To class activities he likewise lent his aid. As a member of the Photograph Committee he was an efficient worker, and he also contributed to the Sub Turri. Ed was also prominent in the social line. Whither lies Ed ' s goal in life we know not. His native Cambridge may claim him as a business man, a teacher or a playground director. Some other profes- sion may claim his attention and gain his interest but whatever it may be we wish him the greatest of good fortune. Go out and win a high place in the race of life, Ed. So long!

Boston College High School President Freshman E Section B. C. Club of Cambridge Introducing one more of our Merry Murphys. Edward J., of Cambridge and B. C. High, is now the topic of discussion. Not only is our hero of winsome and be- coming personality, but he quickly attained the distinction of being a dictator of fashion. It is said that he had many imitators, em- ploying various brands of hair tonic on their upper lips, in heroic attempts to share with him the notoriety he gained when first the golden tonsorial coup d ' etat became manifest. Likewise, Eddie is a man of parts, being actively engaged in the automobile industry. He seems destined for a prosperous business career, and the probable location of his future salesrooms on Commonwealth Avenue has already been the topic of much discussion. We do not have to look far ahead to see him, a few years from now, seated at his manager ' s desk, sending his salesmen hither and thither, gauging the market, and in every way establishing himself as a leader in the auto- mobile industry. Why think we so? For this rea- son: Ed appears to be a bom business man. He has the personality, the temperament and the busi- ness brains. Moreover he now possesses a college degree, and we send him out to conquer the world. When you have arrived at a commanding position in the business world, Ed, you will only be fulfill- ing the predictions of present indications. Take with you the old B. C. spirit, and forget not the motto of our class. Industry, perseverance and ambition are required to mount the ladder of suc- cess, and we believe you possess these qualities in sufficient degree to guarantee your ultimate arrival at the top. So long, Ed. ' Yes, it ' s jorty-tivo Jtoursepower and has cord tires. One hundred fifly-nine JOHN J. MURPHY Dorchester, Mass. Murph John J.

Heights (2) President Marquette Debating Society (2) Fulton Debating Society (3,4) The Murphy Clan is widely represented in our class. A special book would be re- quired to relate its achievements, and a page is hardly sufficient for one of its scholarly members, whom we now introduce — John J. John came to the Heights from our own prep, school, where he achieved academic success, making a name for himself in the Glee Club and Debating Societies. At once acquainting himself with conditions, he realized his duty towards his college, and devoted much of his spare time to its activities. In Freshman he was found fortifying the College Quartette with his clear and harmonius baritone voice. John ' s oration at the Freshman-Sophomore debate convinced his fellow debaters that he should have control of the mallet at their meetings. On account of his demonstration of marked ability and argumentative skill, he was elected to the honored but arduous position of President of the Marquette. He showed his dependability by the manner in which he diligently applied himself throughout his course to overcome the difficulties of the Classics and Philosophy. John was also well known in amateur dramatic circles. We are proud to number you among us, and Alma Mater feels sure that what the future has in store for you will bring praise and glory to you and to herself. You have proved yourself a man of ability, John, a worthy member of the Murphys, and a true son of Boston College. We look to see you accomplish big things in life and bid you fond farewell. It is a vote. One hundred sixty THOMAS J. MURPHY Cambridge, Mass.

Club of Cambridge (1,2,3,4) Class Treasurer (4) Sub Turri Treasurer (4) Football and Baseball Squads Just a few lines, Dear Reader, about smiling Tommie Murphy. Tom is the boy with the most cheerful countenance in the class, and whose pleasing personality has made friends for him throughout his college career. He is just bubbling over with good humor, and is such a good- natured cuss that you can ' t help liking him. Among his classmates Tom is both popular and trusted, as is proved by the fact that he holds the important office of Class Treasurer, in which position he handles the finances of the class in able fashion. Tom is also Treasurer of the Sub Turri, which ranks him as leading financial expert of the class. But Tommie ' s winning smile has not been confined to the classroom, nor to the treasurer ' s work alone, for he has been a member of the Varsity Basketball team for four years. At the end of his Freshman year Tom was chosen Captain for the next season, an unique distinction for an underclassman. His playing was of high order, and Tom was a mainstay of the team for four years, taking part in two victories over Holy Cross. With the coming of June and graduation we suppose that Tom will take the sheepskin and head for Cambridge. Mayor Quinn will then be able to welcome another cheerful worker and true B. C. man. Tom will make friends wherever he goes, and his cheerful nature is bound to help greatly towards his success in life. We know not what form this success will take but we hope it will continue with Tom till he reaches the top of the ladder. Let ' s have it, Bill. One hundred sixty-one ARTHUR V. MURRAY Natick,Mass.

Club of Natick (1,2,3,4) Class Section President (1,2) With the passing of years we know our true friends, and certainly these four years of college life have endeared to us Art Murray, truly a wonderful fellow. Now as we look back over the years and recall the days that he has spent with us, we are glad indeed that he did not follow the course of his illustrious brother, who achieved such fame as Harvard ' s gridiron captain. Cer- tainly Harvard ' s loss has been our gain, for to Art ' s happy nature and pleasing remarks we owe many glad moments. From the invigorating country atmosphere of Natick, he wended his way each morn, to partake of the intellectuality of the Heights, and to be present among his comrades. Art ' s popularity is well attested by the fact that for two years he was elected to lead his class section, and as president he carried out many undertakings in a successful fashion. It is our earnest wish that the coming years may find him holding a like position among his future associates, for we know that the busi- ness or profession to which Art allies himself will benefit by his industry and loyalty. Your happy countenance and genial smile have been a constant source of joy to us, Art, and we shall never forget the pleasant hours we spent with you on Chestnut Hill. Time may find us scattered far and wide, but we shall always cling to the memory of those joyous days. Let us hope that all the years to come will fail to erase your cheery smile, and will only serve to confirm your amiable character. ' Sure, I sit beside the Treasurer. One Imndred sixLy-lwo MARTIN A.

Boston College High School St. Joseph ' s, Baltimore League of the Sacred Heart (1,2,3,4) Glee Club (1,2,3,4) Track Squad (3) Fulton Debating Society It is our pleasure, at this point, to intro- duce Mr. Martin Murray of Charlestown. It is quite possible that some of our readers have met this young man before, for he has appeared at various concerts in the vicinity of Boston. Mart is one of the standbys of our truly talented Glee Club. His time and talents have been given unstintingly to help Alma Mater gain prominence in the musical line. With other members of the Senior class he assisted the Club throughout what was a very successful season. Nor is Mart inclined merely to music. Debating was another of his hobbies, and he was a member of the Fulton Society in Senior year. Track attracted his attention for a while, but he gave more time to his studies and to the Glee Club. Mart was a good student, and apparently had no great difficulty in maintaining a creditable standing in class. As the Mayor of Newton once said, We are neither a prophet, nor the son of a prophet, yet we feel that we can safely predict a future of success for Mart. He is a thinker, a student and a worker. The neces- sary requisites for doing well in life are his. In view of his earnestness, his kindliness and his staunch char- acter, we feel sure that his path in life will be marked by deeds accomplished and work well done. The last days of college are ended, Mart. No more we climb the sloping hill to reach that towering fount of knowl- edge. Years pass swiftly, filled with joys and sorrows, triumphs and failures. To you we hope time will be kind, Mart, old boy, and generous in the bestowal of honors and success. May oceans of success be yours, Mart. Wait till I clear mv throat. One hundred sixty-tliree WILLIAM V. NAGLE East Boston Bill An honest man ' s the noblest ivork oj God. — Pope. Boston College High School League of Sacred Heart (1,2,3,4) B. C. Club of East Boston (1,2,3,4) B. C. K. of C. Club Radio Club Pause, gentle reader, while we present the one and only Bill Nagle. To show the full extent of Bill ' s worth would require a more facile pen than we wield, but we shall endeavor to bring out a few salient points of Bill ' s character. The well-known violet has nothing on Bill when it comes to modesty. As a musician our classmate enjoys an enviable reputation, and as proof of our statement we ask you to gaze at the photo printed above. Notice the artistic features, and the noble brow that bespeaks intelligence and a keen sense of harmony. But Bill ' s ability is not confined to music, for in class we have found that he is one of those rare personages that seems ever ready when called on to explain a difficulty or to express an opinion on a mooted question. More than once has a professor called on Bill to settle some phase of a controversy, and invariably Bill has responded with an intelligent opinion, backed by argu- ments and the side to which Bill has allied himself has thus been greatly strengthened before the class. It might seem that we have bestowed sufficient encomium upon this son of East Boston, but we must add that Bill is a real honest friend, and is possessed of a most generous nature. In the future Bill is sure to make friends, no matter where he goes, and we are not a bit hesitant in declaring it as our firm opinion that a decade from now will find him a leader and a success in whatever life task he undertakes. May fate be good to you, Bill, and let us see the fruits of your four years ' industry at B. C. That they will be plenteous and deserving we already know. was talking to a man about that question. One hundred sixty-jour FRANCIS J. O ' CONNOR South Boston, Mass. Frank O ' key He was a man. — Shakespeare. Boston English High School Sodality B. C. K. of C. Club Marquette Debating Society Fulton Debating Society Radio Club B. C. Club of South Boston League of the Sacred Heart Hail to the name of O ' Connor! ' Tis surely one to be proud of. The last king of Ireland bore that name, and two members of the clan are also members of the class of 1924. One of these, Francis J., is the sub- ject of the present treatise. Frank is a quiet pleasant chap, and im- presses one as being a very capable and determined young man. He is a resident of South Boston and a graduate of Boston English High School. Although he is quiet in class O ' key can express himself clearly and distinctly when the occasion demands. He is possessed of a good head and a clear tongue is this young man and he can state his position on a question with arguments to back it up. He proved his ability as a speaker during his mem- bership in the Marquette and Fulton Debating Societies. In addition to his class work, which we believe he pursued with diligence, Frank was engaged in other college activities. Not only was he a debater, but he belonged to the Radio Club, to the K. of C. Club and to the B. C. Club of South Boston. Moreover he attended the meetings of the Sodality and was a member of the League of the Sacred Heart. All in all his years at B. C. appear to have been profitably spent. His future associates will find in him a man of intellect and ability, able to reason and to express his thoughts. These qualities, coupled with his genial personality, augur well for O ' key ' s success in life. Best of luck, Frank, and may you grow in valor and wisdom. Mr. Chairman, One hundred sixty-jive WILLIAM F. O ' CONNOR Charlestown, Mass. Bill Red The ivorld is mine. — Goldsmith. Boston College High School Charlestown B. C. Club (1,2,3,4) Auto Commuters (1,2,3,4) Okie, or Red, sometimes Willie and often Bill, are most of the names he is known by. Call him what you will, it makes no difference to one of his sunny, smiling disposition. Under great provoca- tion, he might be heard to grumble, but this is done in such a quizzical manner as to bring a smile to the most serious of his classmates. If Bill could follow his natural inclina- tions, every time a particularly hard exam threatened, he would take a Trip. The reason is that he overestimates the diffi- culty of the exam, and underestimates his own ability, two qualities which go far toward making a good student, when properly used. He has been to Montreal, and the city of Quebec, many times to the Big Noise, farther south than Richmond, Va., and he has twice visited Chicago. His desire for travel now points towards sunny California, and we do not doubt that soon he will be telling of his experiences in the land of the Movies. Besides his school activities and performance of school tasks. Bill has filled, with much satisfaction, his posi- tion at the newstand at the Hotel Touraine for five or six years. Idleness surely plays no part in his makeup. Taking the complexus of his qualities, cheerfulness, determination, and a willingness to work. Bill will cer- tainly claim as his own a full measure of success, joined with happiness and the good will of men. Going up? ; « i. P One hundred sixty-six EDWARD C. PERUSSE Lvnn, Mass.

Lvnn Ena;Iish High School Football 0,2) Senior Football Team (4) Cap and Gown Committee (4) The Shoe City ' s claim to fame among the class of ' 24 is Ed Perusse, the Beau Bmmmel of the Senior Class. Ed reported to Major Cavanaugh in Freshman year as a candidate for the foot- ball team, and the only thing that prevented his making the eleven was the exceptionally good material which prod uced our cham- pionship team that year. However, the experience gained during the campaign was used to excellent advantage last fall, when, as a member of the Senior Eleven, he assisted largely in the defeat of the Junior aggregation, in that memorable game on Alumni Field. He is one of those quiet, easy-going chaps, with not much to say, as a rule, but when he does speak his words are worth listening to, and always carry conviction. Ed is a thorough B. C. booster, and has never failed to support his class, morally, physically or financially. Thus, when our worthy President prepared his list of Committees for Senior year, Ed was deservedly ap- pointed a member of the Cap and Gown Committee, and his endeavors in that direction merit the gratitude of the entire class. Steadiness, reliability and energy, his salient char- acteristics, are sure to help Ed over the rough parts of life, and bring to him honor and success in abun- dance. We are glad to have been a classmate of yours, Ed, and our four years of association were certainly pleasant ones. Yes, I ' ll have soup. -19 2 4- One hundred sixty-seven HENRY J. POWERS West Roxbury, Mass. Hank As a K ' it, ij not first, in the very first line. — Goldsmith. Boston College High School President Sophomore C B. C. K. of C. Club B. C. Club of West Roxburv Class Prophet (4) The men who come to the Heights from distant West Roxbury, have carried back honor and distinction time after time. So much so that we, of other climes, are some- times disturbed by the proverbial green- eyed monster. And yet we are forced to acknowledge the achievements of these men, and to look upon all immigrants from that part of the globe as potential champions, at least in one branch or another, even though they may never gain headline recogni- tion. One of these is Henry J. Powers. He entered Boston College in 1920, and has remained through these four years with us. For some four or six months of the Freshman year he was not known to the majority of the class, but towards the end of that year we began to notice one Henry Powers from West Roxbury, whose distinction was to grow as months went by. Hank became attached to him and has remained inseparable from him ever since. It was in Sophomore, however, that Henry made his successful bid for fame. Those of Sophomore C will never forget that remarkable epic, composed by Hank, which described so interestingly the fortunes of each of us at a future time. Since then Henry has de- lighted us more than once with his wit and humor. So much so that he was elected Class Prophet by an overwhelming majority. Time passes too quickly and we find ourselves in Senior and close to Commencement. We do not want the days to hurry on now, but rather to slacken their speed so that the day of parting will stay in the distance; but part we must, Hank, and we wish you the best of luck.

C. Club (1,2,3,4) President (4) And here we have the honorable Presi- dent of the Lawrence B. C. Club, smiling Charlie Reardon. Charlie is the per- sonification of amiability, and the epitome of what constitutes a good fellow. His accomplishments are such as to arouse our admiration, for among other things Charlie is a debater, an actor and a chauffeur, and his ability along these lines is unquestioned. As a member of the class debating team, and as a member of the Boston Tea Party, reenacted by Boston College Stu- dents at the Old South Church, Charlie proved his skill. That Charlie ' s worth is appreciated by his fellow students was shown by his election in Sophomore as President of the Marquette Debating Society, in Junior as Prefect of the Sodality and in Senior as President of the Lawrence B. C. Club. Surely this is honor enough fo r one student. But honors apparently do not interfere with Charlie ' s good nature, for he remains ever the same smiling personage, with the same friendly greeting and the same cheery word. Charlie is possessed of a pleasing personality which is surel) an asset in life. In addition he has other qualifications which we feel will help him greatly towards success. Let us hope that this success will be speedy and continued, and that Charlie will use it as befits a man of his talents and education. Continue to smile Charlie, and may the years only serve to increase your amiable nature. guess you ' re right. One hundred sixty-nine m FRANCIS T. REARDON Quincy, Mass.

(1,2,3,4) Quincy B. C. Club (1,2,3,4) League Sacred Heart (1,2,3,4) How true the poet ' s words are we soon realized after the beginning of our four years on the Heights. From the very begin- ning Frank ' s magnetic personality has drawn to him many friends in classroom, and in college activities. And certainly Frank is deserving of friendship, because there is no more loyal comrade in our class than he. The fair city of Quincy has boasted many notables, beginning with the Adams family down to our Sheriff, and the Sheriff along with Frank Galligan form an able and worthy representation from the Granite City. Frank has shown a great interest in debating at the college and he possesses many of the qualifications of a good speaker. This was only to be expected, for he gained a great deal of knowledge as a member of that argumentative quartette composed of Burke, Foley, Galligan and himself. As with the sheepskin comes the parting of the ways, it is with real regret that we accept our forced separa- tion from daily association, but we look forward in all honesty to a brilliant career from our genial friend, The Sheriff. We ' ll miss your cheerful smile, Frank, and your hearty morning greeting, but it is our hope that they will ever continue to lighten your own heart and to gladden those with whom you come in contact. The years we spent together were filled with pleasant moments, and it seems certain to us that the years to come will find you still the same cheery personage, ever ready to smile at all times and to put your shoulder to the wheel in an honest effort to accomplish what is worth while. Yes, the snow it ' as deep in Quincy. One hundred seventy ' Wearing all that iveight oj learning lightly like a flower. — Selected. Brockton High School Marquette Debating Society Fulton Debating Society President Brockton B. C. Club (3,4) Class Historian (4) There are some few men, whose star of destiny shines so determinedly as to impose upon even the most undiscerning of their fellows the knowledge of its summons. Such a one, we think all his classmates will agree, is our popular John. If you visit the famous municipality of Brockton, which city claims him as a loyal son, you will find disproved the adage about the prophet being without honor in his own country. For John, when first he came to the Heights, left behind him a record in affairs social, and even commercial, athletic, but most especially scholastic, which may well be envied. It is in the latter sphere of activity that we can be most particularly proud of him as a winner each year of the medals and prizes most thoroughly deserved. That his worth was recognized by the class was shown by his election to the office of Class Historian. But after all, perhaps such distinctions count far less in the eyes of those who know him best than the genial, unassuming nature, the sincere friendliness and keen wit which characterize him. No one could wear unusual endowments more modestly, which is much to say of any man. It is indeed to be regretted that class activities could not have benefited more by the qualities of leadership and good fellowship which we know him to possess, and in virtue of which we can not only wish, but prophesy for him the full measure of success. grant your major.

Club of Dorchester (1,2,3,4) A friend in need is a friend indeed, said the wise men of old, and who can think of Bob without reahzing how wise they were? A true friend, true to his fellow stu- dents, true to his college and true to him- self, Doc must linger long in the hearts of those who know him; not only his human friends, but that other big friend, the Col- lege, which has seen him among those willing to work and strive for its glory . In Freshman Bob started along the path to a successful college career by win- ning the gold medal, and he has remained in the front ranks in Sophomore and Junior, and, let us add, Doc is an honor man in Senior. Bob ' s winning personality has brought him many friends. Impending Psychol- ogy exams, the bugaboo of the great majority, are not enough to chase away his cheerful smile. He is a real optimist — even in the traffic tie-up on the day of the Holy Cross game he retained his mental equilibrium. Worry is a word that has no place in his vocabulary. In his few years with us he has never once had the wrath of the Disciplinary Department upon him, a record that speaks for itself. Doc is quite a conversationalist — his fine ethical distinctions, his knowledge of sports, and, in short, his knowledge of all collegiate matters brings an audience to hear his criticisms and opinions of matters in general. His good-fellowship and keen wit have endeared him to his friends, and it is with mingled feelings of confidence in his future, and sincere regret for our parting that we say — So long, ' Bob.

C. K. of C. Club (3,4) Football Squad (1,2 Track Squad (2,3) Reader! Picture to yoursef a beautiful Spring afternoon. Scores of graceful, semi- graceful and awkward youths are to be seen cavorting on the cinders. Say! Who is this bronzed brute, striding around the oval, covering about seven yards to a stride, and stepping along with an ease that is astound- ing? Why, that ' s Smiling Joe Rooney of Roxbury. He may have the build of a cave-man but he ' s all gold inside; and when you want to see the original Sunny Jim, just page Joe. Joe went out intermittently for track during two years, and without any train- ing, could step a pretty fast quarter; but studies interfered, and Coach Ryder lost one of his promising track men. They say that when Joe ' s countenance beamed on his professors, the arbiters of learning gave Joe 80% for his smile before the recitation started. Joe holds down the little cheese-box on a raft that travels from Brookline Village every morning. We don ' t know whether this little offspring of a real car was the scene of Joseph ' s philosophical studying, but wherever he studied, he managed to deny majors with a grace and facility that hypnotized his professors and charmed his classmates. Here ' s to you, Joe. We are certain that wherever you go you will make friends, but don ' t forget your old B. C. pals, and we will always have a warm spot in our hearts for Smiling Joe Rooney of Roxbury. May the years but serve to in- crease your smile, and to confirm your happy nature and sunny disposition.

That ' s Bill Rooney of Woburn, blowing his musical heart out for the B. C. orchestra. I guess that ' s a sufficiently poetical introduction to suit even a citizen of Woburn. If you like pretty pictures, however, try this one on your super-heterodyne set. A golden sun is just pushing its halo above the empurpled clouds over Middlesex Fells, a rooster heralds the approach of daylight, as two nattily attired figures appear on the crest of the road; Reader, it is Bill Rooney and Jack Dillon, alias Tony Flaherty, brushing with eager steps the dews away to meet — no, not the sun, but the 7 o ' clock train on the Woburn Loop. Bill and Tony, despite the length of their journey, were always calmly seated in Assembly Hall fifteen minutes before class, calmly discussing the relative merits of Spinoza and Hegel. Well, Friends, Bill certainly will be able to blow his own horn in life. This, coupled with his frank smile ought to win a way for him, wherever he goes. Bill is not only a good cornet player; he is also a good fellow. What more can we say? Only this, — that we will always look forward to seeing Bill at our class reunions, and that we feel sure he will always have successes to recount to the fellows, when we gather together to recall the glorious days we spent at the Hill of the Eagles. Bill ' s merry smile will glad- den those reunions, even as it has gladdened our school days. May the days between now and then, Bill, find you both happy and prosperous. Can ive make it, Tony?

As a supporter of college activities he has always ranked high, and especially since the Junior Prom has he been regularly taking his exercise in a pleasurable way. Roger always did appreciate good music. Speaking of music, the glee club had a strong adherent in our mutual friend, whose earnest endeavors gained him the position of manager in his senior year. Professor Burke will certainly miss his basso profundo next year. Roger hails from Dorchester and his cheery smile across the chicken counter in the Uphams ' Corner Market is wont to attract many a fair customer.

For your own sake we hope you don ' t attempt an operatic career, Roger, but, believe us, you ' ll make your mark no matter what you aim at.

Club of Dorchester (3,4) Proraotor League of the Sacred Heart When Father McCluskey began to look about for Promotors for the League of the Sacred Heart, it was quite fitting that he should pick AI Shea as one of them. Al is one of those quiet, unassuming fellows, a good student and a pleasant companion, possessed of a sense of humor and a ready smile. Al came to Boston College from the oldest high school in the country, Boston Latin, and the training he received at that institution served him well during his four years of college life. Like many others at the Heights, Al spent part of his time after class hours in a lucrative occupation. It is rumored that the officials of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston consider his services as indispensable to the successful operation of that institution. However true that may be, we know from our own experience that Al is a man of good qualities and of ability. His worth is known to his intimate friends. On such an occasion as this, we do not wish to assume a strictly prophetical attitude, but we feel that we can say without fear of error or contradiction, that his sterling qualities and genial disposition will be of in- valuable assistance to him in life. Both the ability to work and the willingness to persevere are yours, Al. They will stand you in good stead in after years, and will, we hope, be the means of placing you in a high and honorable position among men. We are forced to part, Al, but we trust that time will be kind to you, and that the passing years will find you assuming a higher and higher position in the world. Good-bye, Al, and the best of luck.

Club Secretary K. of C. Club This gentlemanly appearing young man is known as Mr. John A. Shea of Boston. His friends call him Jack, but the college authorities must give him his full title, in order to distinguish him from his Rhode Island namesake, whose picture appears on the next page. Let ' s tell you about Jack. Jack is a merry lad, happy, a willing worker and a very sociable companion. He is a native of the district surrounding the Immaculate Conception Church, and a product of B. C. High. For more than ten years Jack served as a faithful member of the St. John Berchmann ' s Society con- nected with the Immaculate Conception Church. More than once have we seen him, at time of retreat, serving the part of altar boy. In class, Jack has shown real intelligence, and his journey to a degree has been a fairly smooth one. He was a member of the K. of C. Club formed at the college, and had the honor of being Secretary of that organization. The pleasant days of college are over, Jack, and the hour of parting has come. You leave us well equipped to make your way in life. As the years pass on let us hope that they will find you climbing steadily nearer and nearer to the goal of your ambitions, and acquiring a tighter and more secure hold on success, a success that will be such as to bring honor, praise and glory to yourself, your class and your college. Many friends have you made during your career at college, and these now unite in wishing you a happy start in life, and a future that will be marked by deeds well done, honors won and good accomplished. Life is full of promise, Jack, to those of sanguine temperament. Go forward, then, to win the victory that should be yours. Give me another match, ' Mai.

I. is John ' s native home, and from there he has come to the font of learning on Chest- nut Hill. He prepared for college at La Salle Academy, Providence. At Boston College the longings of John ' s classical soul were satisfied, and he thrived in the intellectual atmosphere of the Oxford of America. He was a diligent follower of his studies, and a student in the true sense of the word. John had a love for music that made him a frequent auditor at the Symphonies. His comrades found in him a pleasant associate and a real good fellow. His manner was pleasant, and in his quiet, good-natured way he made many friends at the college, who consider him a true friend. In his Senior year John served as College Librarian, cared for the distribution and lending of books among the undergraduates. A good part of his time after class was spent in his official duties. John ' s many contests with the opponents of Scholastic philosophy always ended in triumphs for John, and it goes without saying that the Scholastics will always have in him a staunch defender and upholder. The path which John intends to traverse in life is as yet unknown to us. But this we do know, that what- ever that path may be, John will employ his time and energies in a valient attempt to direct it towards a worthy and noble goal, .striving ever to champion the cause of that which is righteous. was a U ' ondeijid concert last nii lit.

What a brilHant trail Charlie has blazed through his college course! From Freshman on he has excelled as a debater, and 1924 recalls proudly the ser- vices he rendered in our interclass and intercollegiate debates. For Charlie was mainly responsible for our victory over the class of ' 2 5 during the Junior Week of 1923, and he served to uphold the tradition of the college along forensic lines by his work on the intercollegiate teams, especially those against ] Iaine and Holy Cross. The presidency of the Fulton Debating Society, a post of honor at Boston College, was Charlie ' s reward at the end of his Junior year. This was a fitting tribute by his associates to his worth and popularity. Needless to say Charlie served his term of office in an efficient manner. But his time was not entirely devoted to debat- ing. As a student Charlie ranked with the best. He was an honor man all through his course, and captured the Gold Medal in Junior Philosophy. In addition, Charlie is a lover of fun and sport, and has made many and steadfast friends during his college career. We can look forward to nothing but a successful career for Charlie, and it requires no great stretch of imagination on our part to picture him as a future leader. have the floor, Mr. Chairman.

Club of Cambridge Sub Turri Staff (4) Every class has its famous athletes, its well-known debaters, and every class has a group of students who rank first in academic honors, and of whom Alma Mater is proud to boast. ' ' Charlie Smith is one of these high-caliber students, a truly banner stu- dent in all his studies. There are some who excel in one or two studies, but Charlie shines in all branches from the majors to the minors. He carried to Boston College a reputation as a student which he has retained and even strengthened. More than once has his ability been recognized by an appoint- ment or an election to an important post of duty. Charlie was one of the most efficient beadles it was our good fortune to behold during our entire college career. He could answer the door and carry notes with an ease and poise that was enviable. It is comparatively easy to write about the famous athlete and his feats of prowess ; of the far-famed debater and his eloquence; of the journalist and his literary achieve- ments; but it is more difficult to eulogize at length an honor student, for the name honor student contains more than pages of praise. Suffice it to say that Charlie possesses the remarkable gift of doing every- thing well, and is an all-round scholastic star in Philos- ophy, History, Mathematics and the Sciences. Speak- ing of Science let us not forget that Charlie served in Senior as President of the College Radio Club, a posi- tion of honor among the budding scientists of the college. We shall remember Charlie for his charming man- ner, his personal good qualities, his ability, his integrity, and his all-round good fellowship. Here ' s vottr ' America.

To begin with we have Arthur J., he of the reddish hair and smiling coun- tenance. Art comes from Newport but that doesn ' t prevent him from hobnobbing with all members of the class. In fact he claims none are more democratic than the Sullivans. A good student, a firm friend, an ambitious and hardworking youth — Art is surely a commendable young man. In basketball and track he has worked hard and earnestly, and we have it from a reliable source that he has turned in good scores on some of the toughest links in this part of the country. And had he nothing else to commend him, he is such a good-natured and sociable chap that you can ' t help liking him. If anyone thinks that he carries himself in a somewhat haughty manner let him remember that Art worked all summer as a head waiter, and acquired a bunch of dignity along with his dress suit. It is our belief, Art, that your days at B. C. were well spent, and we unite in wishing you the vast amount of success that you deserve. The qualities you possess are sufficient to warrant your making a place for your- self in the world and it is our hope that you will attain to a prominent position among men. At all events retain your serene and cheerful character, for it will help you greatly in after life. Who wants to pose for the Sub Turri? -1 © a 4 One hundred eighty-one EDWARD J.

Boston College High School Socialist League of the Sacred Heart Stylus Business Staff Sodalist Organist When we hear the name of Ed Sullivan mentioned, we conjure up a picture of a quiet, smiling young man, who seems to us to represent the ideal college student. In- cidentally, the mention of ' ' Ed ' s name makes one think of football and Braves Field. ' ' Ed had charge of procuring ushers for the football games while he was at Boston College, and he certainly was hard pressed at times trying to suit everybody. No one has ever known Ed to lose his good-natured smile. He carries sunshine wherever he goes. At school, at Braves Field and everywhere Ed ' s motto seemed to be, Have a smile for everyone, and work to please everybody. He doesn ' t talk much, but when it comes to real college spirit, Ed is right on deck, and that is what counts. Incidentally, Ed is our capable Sodality organist. In his home town, Mattapan, he is known to everybody. The older folks admire him, the youngsters idolize him, and well may they all be proud of Ed, for we know him to be the true type of Catholic college gentle- man. We are sorry to part with a man like Ed, but it is pleasing to know that he leaves us prepared to make his way in life. He is a real gentleman, a real student and a fine fellow. Well represented, indeed, are both the class and the college in the person of this young man. He will carry through life the true ideals of Alma Mater, and will ever aim to help his fellow- men. We can wish you no greater success, Ed, than that you maj ' continue as you are, a likeable, smiling, ever-pleasant, noble and industrious youth, faithful to your God, your Church, your college, your fellowmen and yourself.

Boston College High School League of the Sacred Heart Class Collector (4) B. C. Club of Charlestown Sodality Just a real good fellow, and a friend tried and true. Such is George, the quiet, smil- ing, amiable member of that double quar- tette of Sullivans, who form such an im- portant part of the class of ' 24. The Sulli- vans at Boston College have been num- erous, and their deeds and achievements many and famous, yet we doubt if among them all there could be found a more likeable chap than George. The class, the college and his native Charlestown may well feel justly proud of him. It would be hard to find a i aw in the character of this youth. To our minds he represents the true type of Catholic College gentleman, ever ready and willing to do his share. George was a loyal supporter of the college teams, and a willing worker in class activities. In class he could give a very creditable recitation, and, to our knowledge, was always on good terms with the disciplinary powers at the College on the Heights. Sincere in his constructive criticism, agreeable to all that is good and just, forgiving in those little injustices that are bound to arise in college life, resplendent with the marks of the true loyal collegian, and with a heart as true as gold, George leaves us to make his mark in life. In leaving Chestnut Hill he takes with him the best wishes of his classmates. He leaves behind him memories of pleasant and profitable associations, and in the minds of his friends the confident conviction that the years to come will be years of achievement and success for George, a success that will serve only to make George a more pleasant, more congenial and more likeable fellow than ever.

From the lakes and fens of the Emerald Isle the name of Sullivan issues forth to us with all the true color of that noble kingdom. Whether John A. is directly connected with this charming land we do not know, but at least he possesses all the nobleness characteristic of the country of his forbears. With a smile as full of greeting as the morning ' s dawn, Sully meets all his classmates. As an indoor sport lover he is surpassed by few, and at times the dexterity with which he touched the ivory keys brought forth considerable praise from his audience. For three years he was a member of what Con Murphy has called Jack Ryder ' s Outing Club, and his work on the track must certainly have benefited him. Through the years that come we hope that Sul will keep smiling, and that the atmosphere of good cheer which his presence caused, may ever linger in our memories. May good fortune attend your every venture, John, and may you bring lustre to the name of Sullivan, and glory to Boston College. The coming years will, we hope, find you pre- pared to meet all problems that confront you and suc- cessfully solve them so that peace and prosperity may be yours.

Whether it was expounding a philosophic treatise, or driving a Hudson, or recalling a previous summer at Green Harbor, or anything, you can always recognize Burke, as being different — the posture, the diction, the gestures, the borrowed cigarette — all are essential necessary accidents to J. Burke. Since Freshman his literary profusions have graced the pages of the Heights and his scathing editorials have stirred our classic walls. His endeavors, however, are not confined to literary fields, for wherever Boston College is identified, behold J. B., the loyal son. But now. Old Boy, degreed and honored, you seek other fields, and with hope in our hearts and a prayer on our lips, we bid you Vale, and fondly look for- ward to the day when you shall repay to your Alma Mater the honor and glory she has given you.

C. history, has a worthy member in J. P. Here is a versatile collegian who has proved his worth in many ways. On the stage, in the Glee Club, and on the cinder path he has played his part well. His athletic achievements, however, have been such as to outshine all his other successes. Four years ago he was a novice. Today he is a champion, and the holder of four titles. For a full year he trained under Coach Ryder, and was known as the Mystery Man, for he participated in no meets, and was seemingly running merely for his health. The next year the coach tried him as a low hurdler, and John, in his first college race won the Eastern Intercollegiate Championship. In his Junior year he retained this title and won three others, being crowned intercollegiate and amateur low hurdle champion of New England. We look for- ward this spring to big things for J. P. in the college track meets. And yet, with all his titles, J. P. is still the same fun-loving light hearted comrade, and his beaming smile is lavished on his class mates as it always was. As we part it is our earnest wish that his career in life may be as brilliant as was his career at college. ' ' J. P. has those qualities of stamina and stick-to- itiveness that mean much in life; and in addition he is possessed of a sense of humor, a jovial temperament and a spirit of loyalty that cannot but insure him friends and success wherever he goes.

Club of Ipswich (4) Raymond Sullivan, a son of fair Ipswich, known the world over for its hosiery, bi- valves and Sullivans, is a worthy representa- tive of the North Shore, the playground of the aristocracy. Ray ' s genial disposition, aided by his gold tooth, has won for him a share in the hearts of every one who has had the good fortune to associate with him. The world had only known Ray for fifteen years, when following the footsteps of his illus- trious family, he resolved to enroll in this institution. A small modest youth he was, neve r asserting his opinion unless questioned. . Now, wiser by four years, a man at 19, he awaits the world to conquer. He is the class baby of ' 24. To uphold the traditions of his family would be an exacting duty to the ordinary man. It never bothered Ray. Unanimously the Senior Class proclaims that Ray is deserving of the highest honor. He may be diminutive physically, but a giant intellectually ; known as a keen thinker, inheriting that debat- ing ability possessed by the family that produced E. Mark Sullivan. He is the organist at the best opera house in Ipswich. It speaks well for his ability when he can set the mark he did at B. C. and hold this unique position. Not alone in scholastic fields does he excel. Ray is the star of the Twilight League of Ipswich baseball. While at high school he captained the different teams during his four years. Hockey and baseball are his hobbies. Leaving these beloved halls behind us, sorry we are that our intimate connections with such a friend as Ray must come to an end.

Bill ' s smile is omnipresent and we never saw him with a gloomy day. Somehow or other we can ' t think of Bill without recalling the Senior- Junior football game. Who can forget the thrill we got when Bill grabbed Tom Mclntire ' s forward pass out of the air and raced for the touch- down that meant victory? That feat alone was enough to make Sul one of our class immortals, but in addition he is a fine student, a high scorer in all classes, and a zealous member of Jack Ryder ' s track squad. As a rabid rooter at all the games Bill has few equals. Often his yells of encouragement at Braves Field left him hoarse but still happy. Optimism is a big asset in the battle of life, Bill, and we hope your happy earnest disposition will continue so that you may survive unscathed all impediments, and reach a place in life that will mark you as a man of honor and a credit to Boston College and the class of 1924. You are entering the fight well armed. Don ' t forget the old spirit of the Sullivans and you are bound to come out victorious. When, in years to come, you have earned a place of honor and distinction among men, you can look back with pleasure to the days you spent at B.

It was due to Fred ' s tire- less efforts that our team was organized and prepared to meet the confident eleven of ' 2S. Fred played well in this game, and has shown himself a good athlete, for in addi- tion to football Fred was one of the main- stays of our class hockey team that won the championship of the college by decisive victories scored over the classes of ' 23 and ' 25. In these undertakings Fred has shown himself a tireless worker, and possessed of the spirit to accomplish in spite of obstacles. He has always been an ardent rooter for the college teams, and all during the college course has lent his support to Alma Mater. To work hard and to accomplish in spite of obstacles bespeaks a determined char- acter. Fred seems to have this valuable quality of determination and we hope that it will be of great service to him in life. If he continues to battle on and to fight against all odds, success cannot be denied him. Life contains many prizes for the man that is willing to work for them. Go out then, ' Fred, and fight for these prizes. Show the same determination that characterized your work on the gridiron and on the ice. Play a hard manly game, and play through to the finish.

Boston College High School Fulton Debating Society (3,4) Dramatic Club (3,4) Marquette Debating Society (1,2) Glee Club (4) When classes reassembled in September for Senior, Walter was with us, and rightly he should be, but the reason for so writing is this — that up to this time we had not so full a knowledge of him and his pleasing ways. At once he came into prominence by engaging in several lively and friendly argumentative tilts with some of our favor- ite professors, and this showed us he was made of the right stuff. His inquisitiveness is not always in the foreground, however, for outside of the class room he is a most congenial and companionable fellow, and this makes us admire him the more. Walter is a hard working, conscientious chap, who is inclined to take himself rather seriously. But with all his hard work, he is able to look on the bright side of life and we have found him a most sociable and friendly companion. A few minutes conversation with him will convince anyone of his gentlemanly qualities. That special from Dudley Street seemed to shake up Walter ' s tonsils a bit, and the first thing we knew we were having impromptu solos and concerts whenever he and his gang were lucky enough to make this Boston Elevated dispensation (the 8.45 from Dudley Street). And now we come to say Adieu. Our companion- ship these four years has been a pleasant one, and we part, now, with kindest hopes for your future prosper- ity, and with a confident feeling that your road in life will be marked by deeds of worth and accomplishment, and directed towards success and the rewards of victory.

Holyoke High School Election Committee (3) Pedagogy Lecturer (4) Chairman Class Banquet (4) Marquette Debating Society Fulton Debating Society One of the most genial, buoyant and pleasing personalities in the entire Senior class is Phil Toye. From his entrance into our midst until the present day he has ever exhibited an unswerving spirit of loyalty, and a true cooperation in observing and maintaining the traditions and ideals of x lma Mater. His is a rare college spirit — one which reaches and permeates those with whom he comes in contact, and which has its foundation and strength in a cheerful philosophy of life. In this brief space it is hardly possible to describe his personality. Those with whom he has associated, and who have had the opportunity of knowing him at all, appreciate his worth, and for those readers who have not had the privilege of his acquaintance, let it suffice to say he has none but friends at Boston College. One of the most extraordinary and unusual sights that one could witness at the Heights would be to see Phil appear in the class in the morning without his smile, or with a disagreeable grouch. With such a character and likeable personality, his future success is assured. In everything he has under- taken to accomplish in past years for Alma Mater he has met with success; this in itself speaks volumes for the future. His latest endeavor took him into the social field where, as Chairman of the Senior Banquet Com- mittee, he planned a treat for the boys, which proved an agreeable surprise. That Phil will represent us well in life we know. He will prove himself a true B. C. son and a loyal member of ' 24. The next speaker of the evening, gentlemen, One hundred ninety-one JOSEPH L.

Welcome Mr. Tribble. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the owner of these four titles, and list while we prove his claim to them. Joseph Tribble, Editor of the Stylus, has proved himself an efficient head of our college magazine. The neat appearance of the magazine and the general worth of its contents are really a credit to Joe. Joe wrote many verses for the Stylus, and even as Editor he continued to make his poetic contributions. Apparently Joe wields a facile pen, and the verses seem to roll right out of his ink bottle. In the athletic line Joe took part for two years as a member of our class hockey team, which was champion of the college. We have good reason to believe that he played more than one game of football in his native town of Maiden, while we know as a matter of fact that in his early years at B. C. he was an energetic member of Coach Ryder ' s track squad. Apparently Joe is fairly well acquainted with the authors, and in addition seems to possess a good logical mind that will stand him in good stead in an argument. Certainly, in a class meeting Joe was able to express his opinion with proper vehemence. From this brief summary one can see that Joe has qualifications that augur well for his success in the battle of life. Let us hope that the success that Joe reaches will be great and lasting. Mr. President, I think that suggestion is quite apropos. One hundred ninety-two JOSEPH A. TURNBULL Dorchester, Mass. Joe His worth is warrant for his welcome hither. — Shakespeare.

Joe upheld the honor of the class by taking the gold purse offered to the winner of the Oratorial Contest. In addition he has been a member of more than one debating team, and his ability as a speaker is unquestioned. Father Murphy has already played him in the title roles of Henry IV and The Merchant of Venice, and Father Murphy is a good judge of dramatic skill. As the Glee Club ' s favored soloist, Joe has appeared in many B. C. concerts, and many large audiences throughout this part of New England have applauded his virile baritone. His work in class has been of the best and he has always been among the leaders. Surely this is versatility. No? Well know you then that Joe swings a mean tennis racquet, and believes in all around development is the aim of any gentleman. And Joe Turnbull is a gentleman, say we. Golf is another of Joe ' s sports, but if you want to find him on his off nights in winter time, wend your way to the toboggan slide at Franklin Park — when there is toboganning.

For four years he has been in our midst and we have learned to admire his judgment and knowledge. Philosophy has always been Jim ' s forte, and at times, so accurate were his recita- tions, that one would think he had assisted Father McCloskey in arranging his notes. Jim is a handy man to have on your side in an argument. He will give you all sorts of plausible answers to the most abstruse questions, and his objections to a point are not easily overcome. Just the same Jim ' s prowess is not confined to philosophical pursuits. He is a keen lover of sport, and a royal rooter at all the games. He has the brains but not the brawn for football, and so he compromises by playing a good game of tennis. Jim is also a good distance man, and covers a lot of ground in an evening between eight and eleven o ' clock, with intermissions while the orchestra catches its breath. A staunch supporter of B. C. and ' 24, Jim has always been ready to do his bit. In leaving B. C. we wish him all the success in the world, for Jim has been a good fellow, a true friend, a worthy scholar, and a Catholic gentleman. No one can deny that he represents the true type of college student, intelligent, industrious, and possessed of a keen analytical mind. Along with Joe Turnbull and Roger Saldarini, Jim is an ardent sup- porter of physical and intellectual training, and the trio seems to have as a motto Mens sana in corpore sano. That makes us fij all. One hundred ninety-jour THOMAS F. WALSH Dorchester, Mass. Tom Go where glory waits thee. — Moore. Boston Latin School Track (2,3) Sodality (1,2,3,4) League of Sacred Heart (1,2,3,4) Fulton Debating Society (4) As time goes on we come to know all our friends. So have we come to know Tom Walsh, a real fellow who possesses all the attributes and manly perfections of a true gentleman. He hails from the borders of the aristocratic town of Milton, and brings to the Heights with him the spirit of that ambitious little town. However, Dorchester is Tom ' s home town, and his interests are in the achievements of the B. C. Club of that section. For several j ears he was numbered among Jack Ryder ' s proteges, and was on the road to success when a slight accident prevented him from continuing in practice. Having given up running, which had taken up most of his afternoons, he turned to an indoor sport, in the form of debating. On becoming a member of the Fulton Society he started to practice diligently in the art of the forum, and although perhaps not the foremost orator in this distinguished organization, yet he managed to reach an enviable position as a speaker by constant application. During the big games at Braves Field Tom filled a position which requires considerable patience, namely that of usher. While acting in this capacity he was very efficient at finding seats for the many B. C. adherents. Tom is a pleasant companion, a modest scholar, and possesses a generosity to be imitated. May the future prove as successful and prosperous as we now anticipate, Tom, for your career; for assuredly your talents coupled with your personality merit but the greatest success. agree with the previous speaker. One hundred ninety-five m Me WILLIAM E. WALSH Roxbury, Mass. Bill The true man is, yet, the thing most prized by the great world. — Morris. Boston College High School Baseball (1) West Roxburv B. C. Club Sodality (1,2,3,4) Here we have, in the person of Bill Walsh, one of the best-natured young men at Boston College. Bill wends his way daily from Roxbury to the Heights, in an effort to gain a real college education. B. C. High was where Bill prepared for college, and he was quite a ball player while at that institution. He has since become an even better player, and although he has not represented us on the varsit} ' nine, Bill is well known as an athlete in his home district. He swings a mighty bludgeon, and frequent have been the newspaper accounts telling of the victories in which he participated. It would not surprise us to see Bill climb high in the baseball world, should he decide to make the attempt. As a classmate we found him ever pleasant and friendly. Although he appeared quiet and reserved Bill was full of good nature, and a man with whom it was pleasant to converse. He possessed many of those good qualities that characterize the true Catholic college gentleman. When Bill goes out into the world he need have no fear. He is fitted to grapple with fortune and to gain success. He is young and strong and active, and has at his disposal all that is necessary to win. His college training should be of great assistance to him. In what- ever line of wor k Bill engages we hope that he does well, for he is a man who deserves to succeed. May good fortune attend your work in life, Bill, and let us hope that in future years we shall see you seated high, having risen by diligence and hard work to a prominent position in the world.

League of the Sacred Heart (1,2,3,4) Royal Rooters (1,2,3,4) Many a worthy professor has said, We have much to be thankful for. Truly among the many things we would include in this statement is the pleasure of having Jim Ward as a classmate. As one of our medical aspirants, a genial, capable and hard-working fellow, Jim is well-liked. Cooly, quietly and calmly he strolls around, with a real welcome for all, a worthy repre- sentative of Johnstown, New York. Outside of a marked taste for light colored hats, we have no charge against Jim. His favorite pastime seems to be working in the biology lab, there delving into the mysteries of diseases. Evidently he is intent on following in the footsteps of his noted brother, by engaging in the medical profession. We are proud to give Jim to the medical world, for we feel that Jim is bound to succeed, and that humanity in general will profit by his work. Good luck, Jim, and may success be yours. Wherever you go don ' t forget the happy days we spent at Newton, and remember that the success you achieve in your chosen profession will be hailed by us as a tribute to your worth and your remarkable qualities of labor and preserverance. The class of ' 24 is proud of mem- bers such as you and will feel unmeasurable pride when you have made a name for yourself in the medical world. Yoit A.B. men have it soft.

Boston Latin School Marquette Debating Society (1,2) Fulton Debating Society (3,4) Prize Essay Winner (3) Stylus Contributor Assistant Editor Stylus (4) Heights Staff Managing Editor Heights (3) General Manager Heights (4) In the business-like countenance that appears before us on this page, we have none other than Paul Wenners, General Manager of the Heights, the college weekly. Although not a member of the class of ' 24 from the time of its entrance into college, we nevertheless gladly welcome him as a true representative of the class whose motto reads Noblesse Oblige. Paul, on becoming acclimated to his surroundings, began at once to help shoulder some of the burdens of the class, and to establish himself among his comrades. He made his presence felt by the convincing manner in which he talked, and by the way in which he seized every opportunity for advancement. His literary ability is well manifested by his work on the Stylus where he finally reached the position of Assistant Editor. As general manager of the Heights, his business acumen has been well established, for under his guidance the paper was financially successful. Paul started, with many others in this literary field, at the bottom of the ladder, and rose by his own efforts and ability to the managing position he held in his Senior year. Paul finds great pleasure in devising philosophic difiiculties with which to set his fellow classmates thinking. He is noted for his imperturbable manner and his characteristic assiduity. We hope that his in- domitable spirit will carry him on to a future abound- ing in success and prosperity, the logical goal of such a fine character. May you continue on, Paul, as success- fully as you have begun. ll ' c are noiv passing through Lynn, famous for its shoes. One hundred ninety-eight FRANCIS E. WILSON Watertown, Mass. Frank Squash Fame is the fragrance oj heroic deeds. — Longfellow. Boston College High School Baseball (1,2,3,4) Football (1,2,3,4) Track (1,2,3) Treasurer Varsity Ethics Club (4) Frank is a fast man. He ran on the relay team for a couple of years. The year that he graduated from Boston College High he needed all the speed he could muster ; for he had to dodge the scouts of half the colleges in this free land of ours. But dodge them he did, and the next fall found him enrolled at the Heights. The four years he has spent out here have drawn on his speed to escape the clutches of the big league baseball scouts; and again he has been successful, despite the fact that the chase has been hot. Frank ' s speed helped him in football as much as it did in track, and he developed into a very valuable half-back. His work in this position, in his Senior year, was largely responsible for the victory over Holy Cross. Now we come to baseball and here we find that Frank has been star outfielder during his four years on the Heights. In his Junior year Frank established a new collegiate record for hitting safely in consecutive games, while he also had the highest batting average among college batsmen. To acquire three varsity letters is quite a stunt. ISi fe, So much for Athletics. Frank was not only an athlete. In his Senior year he was Treasurer of the Varsity Ethics Club. We don ' t know whether Frank is going to accept one of those flattering offers from the big leaguers or not; but whatever his life work, we predict that Frank ' s natural ability will carry him a long way, and that beyond that his grit will make success an assured thing.

Our Freshman year from the start to finish was replete with activity. At the beginning of the year we were called together by the amiable Charlie Coyle, then President of Senior, and we held our election of officers. John F. Monahan of Roxbury, a graduate of B. C. High, was chosen President. James Desmond was made Vice-President, Tom Murphy, Treasurer, and Frank Horgan, A. A. Repre- sentative. Then started the football season and Boston College produced a cham- pionship eleven. With pride, we recall that we donated to that team such men as Jimmie Liston, Ben Roderick, Herb Treat, Jim Kennedy, Con O ' Brien and Charlie McGahan. Captain Luke Urban was certainly aided by these men in his thrilling victories over Yale, Georgetown and Holy Cross. To the other athletic teams we gave our share of men. Three positions on the basket ball five were filled by men of ' 24, and Tom Murphy had the signal honor of being elected Captain of that sport at the end of his Freshman year. Other Freshmen who engaged in the sport were Bill Melley, Frank Mooney, Ben Roderick, and Jim Hickey. On the indoor relay team that vanquished Holy Cross, Tom Mclntire was lead-off man, and Walter Nolan ran on the quartette that set up a record at the Penn Relay Games. Bob Merrick won his letter by placing second at the Eastern IntercoUegiates. To the hockey team we gave Ray Duffy and Dan Murphy. The baseball team was strengthened by such men as Jim Liston, Ben Roderick, Frank Wilson and George Dowd, who starred on the diamond. In May of this year came the Boston College Building Fund Drive, and in this undertaking the class of 1924 certainly did its share. iN ot only did the class pledge a larger amount than any of the other undergraduate classes, but many of the mem- bers made house to house collections, while others spoke at different rallies, in an effort to arouse interest in the project. Socially, the class was active, and the Freshman Smoker was a huge success. THE SECOND LAP. At the beginning of Sophomore we felt more at home. Now we felt as though we were really college men. At our class elections John F. Monahan was reelected President, and the other offices Were filled by George M. Dowd, Vice-President; Mark H. Keohane, Treasurer; and Philip H. Cleary, A. A. Representative. The studies in Sophomore were many, and required a great deal of our time. While the football team did not enjoy as successful a season as in 1920, it was a hard-fighting aggregation and we felt proud of our members who were part of it. Among these were Jim Liston, Walter Matthews, George Dowd, Charlie Don- nellan, Bill Melley and Ray Duffy. Boston College gained prominence in hockey this year, defeating many teams, including Dartmouth and M. I. T. Dan Murphy, Charlie Donnellan and Rocky Curry were members of that team. Captain Tom Murphy ably led his basket ball team. Letters were won by Captain Murphy, Bill Melley and Frank Mooney, all of ' 24. Track letters this year were awarded to Bob Merrick, J. P. Sullivan, Frank Wilson and John MuUin. Bob Merrick won the Eastern Inter- collegiate High Hurdle Championship and placed in the meeting of the I. C. A. Two hundred five A. A. A., thereby winning his intercollegiate stripe. J. P. Sullivan took the low hurdle championship at the Eastern Intercollegiate meet, while Tom Mclntire won the 600 yard indoor championship of Xew England. Men of ' 24 continued to excel on the diamond, and Frank Wilson, Jim Liston and George Dowd again w on the varsity B. Tom Mclntire also made his letter. The reception and the smoker held by the class during Sophomore were events to be talked about. Members of the class who took part in Dramatics were J. Burke Sullivan, John A. Barry, John P. Sullivan and Emmet Kelly. THE THIRD LAP. Getting nearer to the home stretch. In Junior a man begins to realize what his college means to him. This is the year that Boston College gets a grip on your heart and all that you can see, hear, think, talk or know is Boston College. The class was divided into three sections, A, B and C, over which presided respectively Fathers McCluskey, Crowley and Boehm. Elections resulted in our having as officers: John Monahan, President; George Dowd, lce-President ; Robert Merrick, Secretary; Mark H. Keohane, Treasurer; and Philip H. Cleary, A. A. Representative. Our football team had a better season this year, defeating Fordham and Holy Cross. Walter Matthews, George Dowd, Charlie Donnellan, Bill Melley, Frank Wilson, Ray Duffy and Jack Beaver contributed their share to the success of the Eagle on the gridiron. Our hockey team this year was the best in the country. Besides being victorious over all its college opponents, it defeated the B. A. A. Club, National Champions of the Amateur League. Dan Murphy and Rocky Curry were members of this team, while Leo Hughes proved himself one of the greatest hockey stars in the college ranks. Under the leadership of Captain Bill Melley, the basketball team scored its first victory over Holy Cross. Tom Murphy and Frank Mooney again won their letters. Bob Merrick and John P. Sullivan successfully retained their college titles, while other letter men in track were Frank Kelly, Tom Mclntire, Frank Wilson and John Mullin. Kelly, Mclntire and Wilson were members of the ' arsity Relay team. J. P. Sullivan not only won the 220-yard low hurdle intercollegiate championship of New England, but he also won his intercollegiate stripe by placing in the I. C. A. A. A. A. meet at Philadelphia. Boston College this year had one of her greatest baseball teams. Twenty- four consecutive victories were won, which, we are told, equals the intercollegiate record. Frank Wilson starred as one of the leading college batters of the country, while Jim Kelly by his victories over Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania and Tufts proved himself a very able college twirler. Tom Mclntire again won his varsity B in this sport. Our class initiated a precedent at Boston College by starting a Junior Week program that was a revelation. From start to finish the week was a huge success and in addition to the monster smoker and other functions, the class hockey team scored victories over the Seniors and Sophomores. At the end of this year we held our election of officers for Senior. For the fourth time John F. Monahan of Roxbury was elected President, a worthy tribute by his fellows to his popularity and efficiency. John Beaver, of football fame was chosen ' ice-President, and Thomas Murphy, Treasurer, while Robert ' . Merrick was elected Secretary. John C. Burchill was elected A. A. Representative. The vote for officers of the Athletic Association resulted in the election of William Two hundred six Melley, President; John Secretary, all of ' 24. P. Sullivan, Vice-President, and Francis X. Bransfield, BREAKING THE TAPE. With the beginning of our senior year we found ourselves a more united body in Assembly Hall. The Class of ' 24 began its final year in an auspicious manner. A smoker was held for the Freshmen, at which the members of the entering class were extended a wel- come to Boston College. This was followed by a monster Smoker at the Boston City Club on the eve of the Holy Cross game. President Monahan introduced the chair- man, James F. Dooling, to a crowd that filled the hall. The smoker was a huge success, and the class felt well repaid for its efforts. Among the speakers were Rev. Fr. Devlin, President of Boston College, Major Cavanaugh, Mayor Curley of Boston, Mayor Quinn of Cambridge, Mayor Childs of Newton, Rev. Fr. Scanlan, President of the Alumni, and Charles Donelan of the Boston Traveler. Boston College ' s athletic teams this year were typical B. C. teams. The Senior managers of the teams were: James P. Doherty, Football; Anthony E. LeBlanc, Track; Christopher J. Duncan, Baseball; John Burke Sullivan, Basketball and William Kelleher, Hockey. The football team enjoyed a very successful season. But one game was lost, a 7 to 6 affair that was won by Marquette University. Victories were scored over Fordham, Canisius, Providence, Georgetown, Centenary, and Holy Cross. Captain Chuck Darling, ' 25, was mentioned by many sport writers as an All- American back because of his excellent all-round work, especially his punting, which was the best in the East. Five members of the class of ' 24 played their last season for Boston College: Ray Duffy, end; Frank Wilson, half-back; Jack Beaver, guard; Bill Melley, end ; and Leo Hughes, back. All wore the moleskins for the last time in that thrilling victory over Holy Cross. Our basketball team also experienced a season of success, and won a very large percentage of its games, scoring victories over Maine, M. I. T., and Holy Cross. Captain Jim Hickey, ' 25, was ably aided by Frank Mooney, Bill Melley and Tom Murphy, all of ' 24. Jack Ryder ' s proteges had a good year on the track, and won their share of points in the different meets. At the indoor Intercollegiate Track Meet, held in New York on March 1st, the Eagles actually scored the highest number of points, but the victory of the Freshman relay team was not counted in the point total, and the honors went to the University of Pennsylvania. B. C. was fifth among the twenty- three colleges competing, aided by the fine work of Clarence Flahive, George Lermond, Joe Sullivan, Mahoney, Welch, Kirley, Finnegan and Cavanaugh. ' 24 gave the team Captain Frank Kelly, premier quarter-miler of the college; Bob Merrick, star hurdler, J. P. Sullivan, champion low hurdler of New England; Ed Murphy, captain of cross country and Bill Sullivan. On the ice, the Eagles were represented by a typical B. C. team. Games were won from West Point, Boston Hockey Club, McGill and other Canadian teams. Captain Jack Fitzgerald, ' 25, was a worthy leader of a hard fighting team. A long schedule was played by the baseball club under the leadership of Tom Phillips, ' 25. Frank Wilson, Tom Mclntire and Frank Mooney were the repre- sentatives of ' 24 on the diamond.

Two hundred ten FRESHMAN SOPHOMORE JUNIOR. SENIOR. Class of 1925 WILLIAM A. REILLY PRESIDENT In the third week of September 1923 one of the greatest of great classes advanced to Junior to take the third important step in the course at the Heights. Despite the fact that the ranks were reduced by the loss of eighteen men who entered the Seminary across the way, and also by the loss of several others who did not return for various reasons, we still had a record number for Junior. We soon received our long anticipated introduc- tion to Philosophy and entered into the new study with such interest and vigor that a very high average was main- tained throughout the entire year. The first act as a class was to re-elect the men who had guided the 1925 ship of state so skillfully during Sophomore. These men are Wm. Arthur Reilly, Presi- dent; John J. Keahane, Vice President; James H. Foley, Treasurer, and John E. Corcoran, Secretary. The splendid work of President Reilly last year will not soon be forgotten. The formation and remarkable success of the Reception Committee for Visiting Teams, now a Sopho- more institution, were due in great part to his efforts. His jovial nature and pleasant disposition have earned him the name of Affable Art. The other officers have proven by their continued good work that the class was not mistaken in its choice. It is our proud boast that 192.5 is well represented in every activity of the college. What Junior class before us could lay claim to four captaincies in major sports? We had Chuck Darling in football, Jack Fitzgerald in hockey, Jim Hickey in basketball, and Tommy Phillips in baseball. Joe Kozlowsky will captain the 1924 football team and George Lermond will lead next year ' s cross-country team. A ' 25 man will lead the hockey team next season and another will act in the same capacity on the baseball nine in the spring. What would the football team have been without Chuck Darling, Kozlowsky, Doyle, Ward, Elberry and many other Juniors who were subs? What B. C. man has not been thrilled by the wonderful hockey playing of Fitzie, Culhane and Sonny Foley, and excited by the dazzling speed and accurate shooting of Hickey, Mockler and Keahane on the basketball court? The baseball team had Tom Phillips and Sonny Foley in the infield, Chuck in the outer garden, Vargus, McCrehan and Patten doing the twirling and Gaspipe Sullivan on the receiving end. Under Jack Ryder ' s tutelage were Dillon, Louis Welch, Pat Mahoney, Art Kirley, Herb Finnegan, Lermond, Sullivan, Dempsey, Clar Flahive and many others who brought glory to the team and to the college. In the Fulton, Joe Gavan and Maurice Hickey both Marquette prize winners, with such able debaters as Carr, Hawley, Honahan, Quilty and Hines held their own against the wordy onslaughts of the Seniors. One has but to look on the program of the annual concert to see the list of Juniors doing their part in the Musical Clubs. Both the Stylus and the Heights claim a large percentage of Juniors on their staffs as contributors and in the business departments. Jerry Slattery, Bill O ' Brien, Art Reilly, Chuck again, Neil O ' Callahan and Bill Doyle are the Thespians of the class. Father Murphy used fine judgment in coming to ' 25 to get his needed material. Thomas A. Kearns. Tioo hundred thirteen GEORGE T. BURKE PRESIDENT Class of ]926 From the day of its entrance into Boston College the class of 1926 has made known its presence in no uncer- tain manner. Beginning with the football season of 1922 members of this class have contributed to the athletic, scholastic, social, literary and musical history of . lma Mater. Bravely, boldly and victoriously have these men of 76 upheld the Maroon and Gold in many intercollegiate contests. Of her athletic heroes the class feels particularly- proud. ' 26 has men on all the varsity teams, men who have given a fine account of themselves in the various games. In football such men as Grattan O ' Connell, .Arthur McManus, Bill ' Cronin, Eddie ' ' Harrison, ■Lem ' Dunbar and Buster Donoghue helped to make Chuck Darling ' s team a winning combination. On the track there were such stars as Tom Cava- naugh. Eastern Intercollegiate Mile Champion, . rthur Forrest, who won the 100-yard dash against Holy Cross, John Murphy and Murray Brown, who scored places in the same meet in the High Hurdles and Two Mile Run respectively, Frank Riha and Paul Myron, hurdlers, Jerry O ' Connor, a letter man in the half mile, Frank White, a member of the varsity relay team, Arthur Mc Ianus, hammer thrower and Lawrence Killilea, who twice won the pole vault against Holy Cross. Killilea won his letter in the New England Intercollegiates, while John Murphy gained his B by placing second to Bob Merrick in the high hurdles at the Eastern Intercollegiate meet at Springfield. Captain-elect Eddie Harrison ably represented both the class and the college on the basketball court, aided by Andy Carrol, Grattan O ' Connell and Eddie Flynn, the last named being one of the college cheer leaders and the treasurer of the class. As a hockey contribution ' 26 gave Ed Mullowney, star defense man, Al O ' Xeil, and the incomparable Red Groden. These men gave a good account of themselves on the ice, with Groden and Mullowney starring in many battles. The baseball nine was greatly strengthened by such stars as Gus Whelan, premier first baseman, Bill Cronin, guardian of third, and Andy Carrol, pitcher. All in all the class of ' 26 did its share to make the Eagle ' s yell a yell of victory. Along other lines the class was also active. Javier E. Molina, Domi Editor of the Stylus, made an efficient President of the Marquette Debating Society for the first term, being succeeded by Richard H. ' ahey, who was also a capable leader. Others prominent in the Marquette were Raymond Castle, H. Harris, Walter Morris, Gerard .Mulligan, Thomas Geagan, Matthew Stapleton and Cornelius J. Moynihan. On the Heights staff the class had William Consodine, Sport Editor-elect, L. Killilea, W. Cunningham, J. Burris, T. Shea, C. Moynihan, J. E. Molina and R. Castle. J. E. Molina, C. ?kIoynihan and G. Mulligan all worked for the Stylus. William Dunn was manager of the band, while Lawrence Thornton, Daniel Healey and Michael Corcoran were prominent members of the Glee Club. The officers of the class in Sophomore were: George T. Burke, President; Paul V. Myron, ' ice President; J. Edward Flynn, Treasurer; Edwin J. Dolan, Secretary; Robert N. Daley, Athletic Association Representative. In future years the class of ' 26 hopes to achieve even greater success than it has in the past. Two hundred fourteen Listen! Reader, while we recount the deeds of what may prove to be the most illustrious class that B. C. has ever known. Even as Freshmen the men of ' 2 7 have contributed their share to the history of Alma Mater. Our election of Class Officers at the beginning of the year resulted as follows: President, Daniel Line- han of Pride ' s Crossing; Secretary, Henry Riley; Treasurer, J. Dunford. Under these leaders we had a most successful year. To Alma Mater ' s athletic teams the class gave many wilhng warriors. During the football season Joe McKenney, Jack Cronin, Phil Larkin, Kamel Hassan, Joe Linehan, Dan ' Linehan, Tom O ' Brien and McNamara made names for themselves. The class of ' 27 could boast an eleven that would give a hard tussle to any college eleven in the country. On the track Freshman stars were also in evidence. Bill McKillop was a member of the Varsity Relay Team. The Freshman One Mile quartette, composed of Joe McKenney, Joe Ingoldsby, Jack Duane and Jack Kelly won a number of races and was never defeated. At the Indoor Intercollegiates in New York, our medley team, made up of Bill McKillop, Joe Ingoldsby, Joe McKenney and Luke Mc- Cluskey won the Freshman Medley Relay Championship. Others prominent in track were Hurley, K. of C. winner in a 600 yard race, John Connor, Dan Donovan, Tom Gallagher, Dinny Welch, Ed Becherer, Walter Daley, Dan Linehan and Phil Larkin. DANIEL LINEHAN PRESIDENT Pierce Fitzgerald represented ' 2 7 on the college hockey team, while to the varsity diamond team we gave Ray Finnegan. In addition the class was represented by a capable baseball nine. The class was also active in debating, was represented on the college weekly The Heights, and had Frank Sullivan as an Assistant Business Manager of the Stylus. President Joseph Dolan of the Brosnahan Debating Society headed an active organization. In brief the class did its bit to aid college activities, and the success of the first year at B. C. promises great things for the future.

C.-Holy Cross game of 1923 sounded the death-knell of Holy Cross ' s hopes and brought glorious victory to our old Maroon and Gold, it marked the passing in grid- iron activities of the incomparable class of ' 24. Many the man has old ' 24 contributed to the service of Alma Mater and creditably have they performed. While Boston College has boasted some remarkable football teams, yet never had the Eagle soared to such dizzy heights of fame until after old ' 24 had sent her quota to fill the ranks of Alma Mater ' s forces. With due modesty the class of ' 24 points espe- cially to the team of Eastern Champions of 1920 and asks that the list of its members be scrutinized. To that marvelous team ' 24 furnished such stars as Liston, Roderick, Matthews, Kennedy, O ' Brien, Treat, McGahan, Dunbar, and others. The records show what these men did. In that victorious campaign they started with a decisive but tame victory over Fordham, 20-0. But then with a crash that shook the sport- ing world to its very foundation, Boston College went down into the Yale Bowl, and for the second successive year silenced the Bulldog, this time to the tune of 21-13. Among the bright particular stars of that game may be found Roderick and Kennedy of ' 24. In the next few victories over Springfield, B. U., Tufts and Marietta, the clever head-work of Kennedy, the brilliant open-field running of Roderick, the line-plunging of Liston, and the smashing tackle-play of O ' Brien and Treat, stood out prominently. The me n of ' 24 shone again in the Georgetown victory, but the feature was O ' Brien ' s touchdown on a recovered fumble. Seldom does a lineman receive an opportunity to score, but O ' Brien was offered the chance and graciously accepted. Then came the glorious climax to the greatest season a B. C. team ever enjoyed, a victory over our Worcester rivals. Our whole team, played superbly, but who can pass lightly over the peerless line-smashing of Liston, the all-around excellence of Roderick, the impregnable defense and irresistible offense of Treat and O ' Brien? Until the season of 1921 actually arrived prospects for another great team were bright, but graduation, injuries and transfers made serious inroads in our plans. Jimmie Liston and Walter Matthews were the only regulars of ' 24 remaining. But again 1924 turned to Alma Mater ' s aid and offered Melly, Duffey, Dowd, Donnellan and many others. Due to the evident difficulties it was expected that the success of 1920 could not be repeated, but a typical B. C. fighting team was produced. Two easy victories over B. U. and Providence made an auspicious beginning. Then the journey to the far-distant borders of Texas ended in a 23-7 victory over Baylor University. Here after a quick touchdown had made the score 7-0 against us, the team refused to be demoralized and mainly by the off-tackle smashes of Liston and the open-field run- ning of Matthews, brought glory back to Boston. However, all good things must come to an end. The string of victories was broken after the number thirteen had been reached, when exhausted and shaken up by their Two hundred twenty-jive long trip our boys were forced to bow in defeat to Detroit University. An interest- ing side-light on this game, was the thunderous reception accorded to Walter Matthews of ' 24. when he was forced to retire from the game. Bruised, lame, com- pletely exhausted, he had carried on by sheer strength of his unconquerable spirit. In Matthews on that day, was typified the spirit of the whole team. Against a group of battle-scarred, cunning veterans, every one of our boys gave an example of that grit and determination, so characteristic of the sons of Alma Plater, in victory or defeat, in glory or adversity, to fight to the end. Fordham was tied, the defensive work of Matthews and Liston featuring. Marietta arrived from the West and her dreaded aerial attack was thwarted by Dowd. Matthews, Donnellan, Liston et al. Up came Georgetown Eastern Catholic Champions of 1921 and confidently pranced onto the field to receive a stunning shock in the form of a B. C. touchdown and drop-kick to the tune of 10 to 0. Then superior strength showed and Georgetown scored twice, the game ending in a 14 to 10 victory for the Blue and Gray. Once again the stellar offensive work of Matthews and Liston stood out. Dowd played a superb defensive game, and Donnellan ran the team with his usual vigor and cleverness. Owing to the weather and other disagree- able features of the 41 to defeat by Holy Cross, strict observation of individuals was well nigh impossible. However, the men of ' 24 gave their best as usual. Credit must be given tO; those men of ' 24 as well as the other classes, for the noble and heartbreaking efforts they exerted to stave off defeat. Perhaps from a material standpoint the season was unsuccessful, but the qualities of fight and good sports- manship it instilled in the team cannot be considered of little significance. Visions of a successful season in 1922 did not seem to be amiss when we took into account the team of veterans returning, together with men formerly ineligible and high school stars. From ' 24 came Duffy, Wilson, Beaver, Donnellan, Matthews, Melley, Hughes, Rooney, Campbell, Bransfield and others. The season was inaugurated successfully with a pair of victories over B. U. and Fordham. Donnellan directed the team cleverly in both games. Matthews excelled as usual. Following these games, the team went to Detroit where a heart-rending defeat of 10-8 was handed them. Matthews and Duffy did well in this game. The next game, against Lafayette, featured the sterling defensive play of George Dowd, and due to injuries received in this game, ended the promising athletic career of that true son of Boston College, and that worthy member of ' 24. The game against Villa Xova saw Donnellan flashing brilliant generalship. Baylor came up from the South boldly, and went back crestfallen. Matthews ' irresistible line smashing played no little part in the defeat of the Southern warriors. To Charlie Donnellan primarily, goes the credit for saving the Canisius game. With the score 13-7 in our favor, and only a few minutes left to play Canisius had the ball on our twenty-five yard line. Then a long forward pass over the goal line into the waiting arms of a Canisius man was spoiled by a last desperate thrust of Donnellan ' s hand. Again in the Georgetown game, Donnellan showed his brilliant head work and calm generalship. In the final victory over the Purple, Duffy and Beaver were given the opportunity to win their spurs and proved worthy of the chance. In this season the class of 1924 didn ' t contribute to the team such stars as those of past years, yet in their conscientious and earnest efforts, her representatives did all that was expected of them. The season of 1923 saw a brilliant array of candi- dates answer the call of Coaches Cavanaugh and Joy. To this group ' 24 gave Duffy, Wilson, Beaver, Hughes, Campbell, Melley, Bransfield and many others. Despite the imposing array of veterans, three men, Duffy, Wilson and Beaver Two hundred twenty-six fought their way from the positions of obscure subs to the exalted places of regulars. Leo Hughes also, after three long persevering years gained the coveted B. To quote his own words indirectly, he does not regret those four long years but appre- ciates that precious B all the more. The first team to meet the Eagles was Providence College. Instrumental in send- ing the visitors home vanquished, were Beaver, Duffy and Melley of ' 24. The Fordham game saw Wilson come into his own and gain a place on the eleven, from which he was never dislodged. Duffy played his usual keen alert game, scoring a touchdown on a forward pass. Beaver was a tower of strength on his side of the line. x gainst Luke Urban ' s Canisius team, Duffy ' s great end play was a treat to watch. Wilson was brilliant carrying the ball, and a bulwark on the defense. A perfect record was marred when Marquette University scored a touchdown in the last few minutes of play, winning by a one point margin. Wilson ' s and Duffy ' s defensive work consoled us somewhat. When Georgetown arrived, the Maroon and Gold, not to be hindered in its dash towards the goal of Eastern Catholic Champions, brushed the Hilltoppers aside by a score of 21 to 0. Wilson and Duffy played their usual brilliant game and Leo Hughes in his fourth year of striving received his chance for the B and made good. Again in the Centenary tilt, Wilson showed his mettle when he blocked a forward pass, on his own three-yard line, and incidently scored one of our touchdowns. Duffy did a thorough job at left end. In the Villanova game, many substitutes received their chance to get into the game, and Melley distinguished himself by his accurate snatching of forwards. Wilson scored twice, before he made way for his successor. The Vermont game, played under discouraging conditions of both weather and ground, ended in a scoreless tie. Scoring was practically an impos- sibility and the contestants were chiefly occupied in maintaining their equilibrium. However Wilson made some substantial gains and Duffy allowed no one to break through his end. Old ' 24 went out as she came in: with a victory over Holy Cross. To the 1923 team, one of the greatest football representatives of Boston College, she gave three regulars and many substitutes. It was Duffy who turned the tide against the Purple by his downing of a punt on the Holy Cross one-yard line, performing an identical feat in the following period. Wilson, Beaver, Duffy and Melley were wearing the Maroon and Gold for the last time, and they gave their all to vanquish their ancient rival. Duffy stopped Glennon and Riopel time after time. Wilson ripped through again and again for important gains. Beaver plugged up the hole through which Holy Cross had been gaining early in the game. Melley played a smashing-crashing game at the wing position, when he relieved Duffy. All in all, these men fought like true sons of Boston College, conforming with the ideals of the clan of 1924. We came in unknown and unheralded, gave our might to the cause, and now leave with the achievements of our class rtiembers written in the archives of Boston College athletic history. J. C. BURCHILL.

DUNCAN IMANACER Baseball, the grand American sport, beloved by all from pole to pole as the long-haired chanter of verse and rhyme would sing, has strutted along in seven league boots, since the class of 1924 matricu- lated at Boston College four brief years ago. The history of Boston College on the diamond during the days of ' 21 and ' 22 is only vaguely impressed on the minds of most of us. The brilliant conquest of the football machine of 1920 and the oft repeated victories of long Jake Driscoll and other cinder path stars who were at the Heights in those days, dazzled the work of the ball team into com- parative insignificance. However, at that, Boston College was represented by teams that could com- pare favorably with the average college group. The return of Coach Olaf Henricksen, former Red So.x pinch-hitting wonder, to Chestnut Hill in the spring of 1923, changed the general complexion of baseball matters. Olie started on his new job with a good-natured Swedish smile and a wealth of timber to work on. It was not many weeks after, that Coach Henricksen ' s ball men were registering wins with startling regularity both abroad and on their own bailiwick. The heavy hitting of the whole team, led by Frankie Wilson of the class of ' 24, was the sensation of collegiate baseball that year. Wilson hit consistently and hard through the entire season, establishing an intercollegiate record of hitting safely in twenty-seven consecutive games, for an average of .450. Out of the 33 games played, Boston College slugged its way to a total of 30 wins, winning over teams representing Yale, Princeton and Pennsylvania, and turn- ing in a victory over Holy Cross in the annual series. The first of the H. C.-B. C. series was won by Holy Cross by the score of S to 2. In this game Jimmy Kelly, the great little right-hander of ' 24, hitched up in a closely contested pitching duel with Carroll, Holy Cross ace and Jim allowed but three hits. The defeat tem- porarily put Boston College out of the running for the intercollegiate title, but a subsequent win over Princeton, which in turn had defeated the Cross, reestab- lished the Eagle ' s right to contest the championship. In the second game, before a gathering of ' 40,000 enthusiasts at Braves Field, the largest crowd ever to witness a college baseball game, Frank Cheese McCrehan enniched himself in the Hall of Fame by slow-balling the Worcesterites to death, by a score of 4 to 1. Boston College baseball stock went up 100%. In the concluding episode. Holy Cross, realizing that her name in baseball was in the balance, came through the crisis with a 2 to victory over the Maroon and Gold, in one of the hardest fought battles that the two Jesuit colleges have ever engaged in. Cheese McCrehan was again on the mound for Boston College but was bested by Carroll who was twirling air-tight ball on that afternoon. As this Sub Tiirri went to press Boston College was represented by a nine that had every promise of accomplishing that difficult feat, to win an intercollegiate title on the diamond over those inimitable ball players, Holy Cross.

We brought with us scholastic track stars and others who later developed into luminaries of the cinder path. The Freshman Relay Team was a speedy quartette, composed of Frank Wilson, Walter Lan- nigan, Walter Nolan and Frank Kelly. Tom Mclntire was lead-off man on the indoor varsity relay team, and Walter Nolan ran on the outdoor four that established a record at the Penn Relay Carnival. Bob first gained prominence as a hurdler, and won his letter at the Eastern Inter- collegiates. During our Sophomore year Boston College tied with M. I. T. for first honors in the New England Intercollegiate Championships. During this same year Tom Mclntire won the N. E. 600 yard amateur title, while the Eastern Intercollegiate titles in the high and low hurdles went to Bob Merrick and J. P. Sullivan respectively. Frank Wilson made his letter as member of the Varsity Relay team. As Juniors Bob Merrick and J. P. Sullivan retained their titles while J. P. also won the New England Intercollegiate Title. Both he and Bob have won places at the I. C. A. A. A. A. meet, thereby winning the Intercollegiate stripe. Frank Kelly, Frank Wilson and Tom Mclntire ran on the Varsity Relay team that scored at the I. C. A. A. A. A. meet in New York. Kelly, Merrick, Murphy, Sullivan and Mullin gained points in the dual meet with Holy Cross. Since the team has won the Eastern Intercollegiates for several seasons. Captain Frank Kelly looks forward to winning greater honors for B. C. by taking first place among all New England colleges at the annual spring meet at Tech Field. Since the team scored a high place at the Indoor Intercollegiates in New York the chances for victory at the N. E. I. C. A. A. meeting look bright. Needless to say ' 24 will contribute to that victory. ANTHONY E. LeBLANC MANAGER Two hundred forty-three m TOM McINTIRE i) K, MILK IIKLW CAPT. FRANK KELLY 1 WO MILE RELAY Two hundred jorly-jouT Two hundred forty-five Two hundred jony-nx Boston College Two Mile Relay Team Holders of the World ' s Record On Saturday, April 26, 1924, the Boston College Two Mile relay team established a new world ' s ' record in winning the Two Mile College Relay Championship of America. The race was held at the Pennsylvania Relay Carnival at Philadelphia, and the time made was 7 minutes, 47 and 3 5 seconds, displacing the former record made by the Penn State Team in 1923. William T. McKillop, ' 27, Patrick J. Mahoney, ' 25, Louis R. Welch, ' 25, and Thomas F. Cavanaugh, ' 26, were the members of the record-breaking quartette, and they ran in the order named. McKillop ran his half mile in 1 min. 58-2 5 seconds, Mahoney in 1:56-2 5, Welch in 1; 55-1 5, Cavanaugh in 1:57-3 5. The times indicate that the team was a well balanced group of runners. Their average time was 1:56-9 10. Thus was added another page to B. C. athletic history, and another feather in the cap of our illustrious Track Coach, Jack Ryder. It took less than eight minutes for the relay team to make the record, but those few minutes represented many days of hard and conscientious work on the part of our Coach, as well as faithful practice on the part of the runners themselves. As long as Coach Ryder continues to direct the Eagle tracksters, the supporters of Boston College may look for additional records and further triumphs. At present the team is preparing to capture the championship of New England in the annual New England Intercollegiate meet, and in the sixteen events on the program the Eagle hopes to win enough points to gain first honors. -19 2 4 Two hundred jurty-seven JACK DILLON CLARENCE FLAHIVE JUMPS 6 FT. ' I ' A LN. Two hundred jorty-eight Two hundred fifty-one COACH CHARLES E. FOOTE Hockey Resume [U Athletics at Boston College is not all football, by any manner of means. We had a championship eleven in 1920, and a wonder team in 1923, but just look at Hockey for a change, and you will see that H. C. has been hovering round the top of the heap every year. During the four-year sojourn of ' 24 at the Heights, the hockey teams have chalked up a record for any team in the country to shoot at. In the winter of 1920-21, the sole college team to defeat our warriors was defeated in two other contests. What if H. C. did lose one out of three to M. I. T.? We defeated every other college team on our schedule, including Amherst, N. H. State, Mass. Aggies, Bates, etc. On this team Ray Duffy, Dan Murphy and Rocky Curry represented 24. In the winter of 1921-22, again under the wonderful coaching of Fred Rocque, the college went through the season undefeated by any U. S. college team, and scored a 7-0 victory over Yale, besides defeating M. I. T. twice; Canada ' s repre- sentative, McGill, was our only conquerer. The season ended with Harvard and Boston College the sole claimants of the inter-collegiate title, and the Boston Eagles defeated the Crimson Ramblers in a post-season unofficial game. How- ever, the championship had to go unawarded between two teams that year. 1922-2,5 found B. C. victorious over every college opponent, and even over every club, with the one exception of Duluth, that club taking a 2-1 victory in a game which might very well have ended the other way. Ttoo hiinilred fijly-lwu Two hundred jijty-jhe Basketball Resume In this, as in every other sport, 1924 has been most prominent throughout our entire college course. In 1920, our advent into collegiate circles, we were repre- sented by four regulars: Melley, Murphy, Hickey ex- ' 24 and Roderick ex- ' 24. In the succeeding year, Murphy ' 24 was elected captain and led a team composed mainly of ' 24 men; Mooney taking the place of Roderick. The following year another ' 24 man, Melley, was captain of the team, and in Senior year the team was captained by Hickey, an ex- ' 24 man. Thus the class of ' 24 boasts three captains in four years. Our Senior year saw B. C. more successful at the court game than ever before in the history of the institution, and the famous combination of Melley to Murphy to Mooney, all ' 24 men, was famous throughout collegiate circles as a scoring power. Whenever this combination went into action, it almost inevitably resulted in a hoop, for two points on the B. C. side of the score card. These men were largely instrumental in scoring two victories over our ancient rival. Holy Cross: one in 192,5 and another in 1924. The glory of the class of ' 24 will ring loud and long throughout the history of Boston College in the basketball world and the prowess of the men of ' 24 in their stirring victories over H0I3 ' Cross, M. I. T., University of Maine, and others too numerous to chronicle here, will redound to the honor of ' 24 throughout the classes that follow us, in the glory of old B. C. J. B. SuLLiv.AN, ' 24, Mgr.

We are proud of these youths who so nobly upheld the standards of the class in that memorable contest with the eleven that represented the class of 1925. The game was played on Alumni Field on November ISth, before the cheering sections of the two classes. Grattan O ' Connell of Sophomore, varsity end, acted as referee. Our Senior team was captained by Fred Tobin and coached by George Dowd and Jack Beaver, both Varsity men. The Juniors won the toss and decided to receive the kickoff. At the whistle, Charlie Foley,, our slashing tackle booted the pigskin a la Chuck Darling, and the game was on. The Junior fullback caught the ball on his own 10 yard line and ran it back five yards. After a series of ruir.hes in which no gains could be made, the Juniors kicked to our quarterback, Tom Mclntire, who ran the ball from our 35 yard line to mid-field. Three consecutive rushes by Tim Herlihy, Fred Tobin and Joe Machado netted ten yards. Then Joe and Tim tried end runs and gained another first down. An intercepted forward pass gave the Juniors the ball again. They could not gain around our ends or through our line because our men in the line displayed a stone wall defense. It was well into second quarter when a break enabled the Juniors to get six points. The Juniors recovered the ball behind our goal for a touchdown. Shortly after this the half ended. In the second half, the Senior team, after a fight talk by its coaches, came back strong. They received the kickoff and marched right down the field. A fumble gave the Juniors the ball on their own ten-yard line. They tried three rushes and failed, Their punter went back into position to kick the ball but his kick was blocked. Joe Leahy recovered the ball on their eight-yard line. Three rushes and a forward pass gave the Seniors a goal. Bill Sullivan received the forward pass from Tom Mclntire and scored a touchdown. Then Tom filled the Senior stands with joy by making a spectacular drop kick for the extra point that won the game. The men of ' 24 held their opponents scoreless for the remainder of the game, and victory was celebrated by a snake dance by the members of the class. Two hundred sixty-one Class Hockey Fight to win. Such has been the motto of the Class of ' 24 Hockey teams. Not once during the career of the class did it suffer defeat at the hands of any class team. So in the 1924 Hockey season, we took the 1925 Hockey Team into camp at the Boston Arena, February 7th, and thus closed a colorful record of the 1924 class. The game was played in connection with the Junior Week celebration. But only such a result could be expected when one considers the wealth of material Manager Fred Tobin had to throw into the firing line. ] luch interest was shown in the con- test, as the two class cheering sections on either side of the Arena surface mani- fested. In fact it has been said quite generally that much money changed hands that evening. The Juniors banked on two hockey players, Rocky Curry and Clayton Haley to play an important part in their celebration, but such was not the case, for these two stars were never allowed starting time by ' 24 ' s fast forward line. Captain Tom Mclntire, Jack Barry, Harry Follen and Frank Bransfield checked back in Olympic style, and even when a lone Junior might manage to slip by, he was abruptly stopped by our alert defense, Fred Tobin and Ray Duffy. Leo Hughes, former varsity captain was in the 1924 net and stopped what few shots the Juniors made, with apparent ease. Time and again, Tom Mclntire and Ray Duffy made sensational solo dashes down the ice, only to be stopped somewhat illegitimately, as they would start their shot. But this did not bother them in making circles at will around the Junior team. It seemed only a matter of how many goals the Seniors would score, but Steve Patten, the Junior Goal certainly played like Al Lacroix of the Olympics, in disguise. In the second period, Jack Barry took a perfect pass from Tom Mclntire and whipped the disc past Steve Patten as if he weren ' t there. Thus was the only score made. Frank DriscoU, Pete Alemi, Joe Tribble and John Holbrow also made their appearance on the steel runners to uphold the honor of ' 24. Line-up: 1924 I.W., Capt.

ROBERTS PKESIDLNT OF PIlILOMAl HEIA Two hundred sixty-six LU Pliiloniatlieia Club A few years ago, at a banquet given by the Philomatheia Club to the members of the different athletic teams, and to the leaders in the various other branches of stu- dent activities of the College, Jack Ryder, our renowned coach of track athletes, was called upon for a few remarks. Jack ' s speech is still remembered by those present as a masterpiece, both because of its brevity, and, as they say in the parlance of the street, he hit the nail on the head. He related the story of the young athlete of foreign birth, who, upon winning an important B. A. A. race, was being banqueted by the members of that club. During the celebration, the toastmaster called upon the hero of the evening for a few words. The young man was no orator, but he finally rose, and in slow, broken English, remarked, B. A. A., good club, and with that he sat down amidst a thunderous applause. Jack declared that such a statement could well be applied to the present occasion, and he remarked that all he had to say was: Philomatheia Club, good club. Needless to say, he also sat down amidst the aforesaid applause, and his remarks were re-echoed in the hearts of all his hearers. Philomatheia — Lovers of Wisdom — has always proved itself the true, steadfast friend of faculty and student alike. Founded in 191.S, shortly after the College was transferred from James Street to its present location, it has enjoyed a phenomenal growth, under the successive leadership of Mrs. Edwin A. Shuman, Mrs. Augustus P. Tilson and Mrs. Vincent P. Roberts, until now it includes in its membership over one thousand act ive, loyal women, interested in furthering the education of the Catholic youth of the country. To relate, in detail, all that has been done in the past, and what they intend to do in the future is almost an impossibility. Prizes for excellence in studies, for debating and for athletics, together with several stholarships, have already been donated. The yearly banquet to athletic teams and to the officers of the collegiate societies has already become a tradition, while the annual Reception to the Seniors has been recognized as the leading Catholic social affair of the season. The Philo- matheia Club has accomplished great things during its brief existence, and it promises big things for the future. To Mrs. Vincent P. Roberts is due in no small degree, credit for the present success of the society of which she is President. She has worked unceasingly for the ideals for which it stands. She is truly a charming lady, and her kindness and generosity have won the everlasting affection of her boys of Boston College. Yes, we too can say with Jack Ryder: Philomatheia, good club. Two hundred sixty-seven Two hundred sixty-eight Sodality of the Immaculate Conception During the Protestant Rebellion, at the time when the Church was receiving her severest attacks from Luther and his followers, the Sodality of the Immaculate Concep- tion was founded by the young Jesuit Scholastic, John Leon, as an antidote to the false religious principles which were being disseminated among the people by these protestors. The Society advanced rapidly, especially among the Jesuit Colleges, until today one of the distinguishing marks of the true Jesuit student is his membership in the Sodality. It is not surprising, therefore, that one of the first acts of Rev. John McElroy, S.J., the first president of Boston College, was to establish firmly this Sodality of the Im- maculate Conception in the old school on Harrison Avenue. It is connected with the First Primary in Rome, under the patronage of St. Stanis- laus Kostka. The remarkable success which the Sodality has achieved may be justly attributed to the patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary herself, who is always ready to hearken to those who petition her for assistance; and also to the beautiful devotion of the men of the Society of Jesus, who recognize in her the devoted and loving Mother, ever mindful of the welfare of her children. It was in this Sodality that we, as Freshmen, had the privilege of enlisting. As Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors we have continued our devotion to Our Lady. At weekly meetings, for four years, we have paid homage to her, and offered our peti- tions for success in life, both spiritually and materially. Under her care, we have prospered mentally, physically and morally. Her virtues have been extolled by our worthy moderators; her love for us has been impressed forcibly upon our minds; her exemplary life has furnished us a model by which we can direct our own lives to their final destiny. We have been fortunate in our choice of officers. E. Callahan, C. Reardon and John Monahan have held the office of Prefect. Edward Sullivan, our organist for three years, was honored for the fourth consecutive time. Fr. Sweeney, S.J., was ap- pointed to direct our meetings in our Senior year. His zeal and devotion has been an inspiration to all, and his weekly addresses have revealed to us the virtues of Our Blessed Mother. In Freshman, Fr. Stinson was our Moderator; Fr. Dore in Sopho- more and Fr. Eberle in Junior. Even during our short stay at college we have had occasion to recognize the power and readiness of the Blessed Mother of God to assist her Sodalists. We realize now, as we are about to leave these cherished walls, the important factor which the Sodality has been in our education, and in forming our character, and the great amount of aid which can be obtained through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin. Two hundred sixty-nine The League of the Sacred Heart Alma Mater, like all Jesuit institutions of learning, has for the aim of its educational system not only the intel- lectual advancement of its students, but also what she considers of far more importance to the young men in- trusted to her care, their spiritual welfare and religious instruction. In accord with this idea of an education that should be moral as well as mental and physi cal, the League of the Sacred Heart was instituted at Boston College some years ago. Its success was immediate and its membership now includes practically all the students of the college. The League intends to have each member know, love and serve God better, encourages frequent reception of the Sacra- ments, and aims by united prayer to promote all the works of the Sacred Heart. To Rev. Father Thomas J. McCluskey, S.J., must be given the highest praise for his efficient manner in conducting the affairs of the League in his capacity of Moderator. At the commencement of the college j ' ear he appoints Promoters in the various classes, and carefully instructs them in their duties for the year. Then the members are enrolled, certificates of membership issued and recorded, and the monthly leaflets of the League are distributed to the members through the promotors. On the Thursday before the first Friday of the month confessions are heard and on the first Friday the student body is assembled in the hall for devotions to the Sacred Heart. The meeting is opened with the Morning Offering. Following this prayer Father McCluskey gives a talk on the intention for the month, and these talks though short are most interesting and instructive, and furnish considerable food for thought. Thus the League provides an important item in the student ' s education. The greater knowledge that is gained of the goodness and mercy of God is necessarily followed by a deeper and more enduring love for the Sacred Heart, and this love carried into life is the best guarantee to the country of a true citizen and to the Church of a loyal member. The League of the Sacred Heart and the First Friday devotions have been a great help to the students of Boston College in their spiritual life, and the efforts of Father McCluskey and his promotors to establish the League firmly in the school have been successful and accompanied with much good. Two hundred seventy 5 1 The Boston College Dramatic Association A demonstration of the ability of the members of the Boston College Dramatic Association was given at the ISOth Anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, when Boston College students had the honor and distinction of being invited to portray the historic characters of that Revolutionary episode. The Old South Church was thronged to capacity on this occasion, and the dramatic interpretation and finesse of the members of the Dramatic Association was a credit both to themselves and to the coaching of their tireless and efficient director, Rev. William E. Murphy, S.J. To this as well as to many other successes of the Dramatic Association did the class of 1924 con- tribute its share. Such men as J. Burke Sullivan, James F. Dooling, John A. Barry, Joseph A. Turn- bull, Charles A. Reardon, Walter F. Tobin, Emmet Kelly and John P. Sullivan have played prominent parts in every B. C. production for the last four years. With the departure of these men the Association suffers a heavy loss. However, with such a director as Father Murphy, and with an actor of such marked ability as possessed by Gerard Slattery of the class of ' 25 the productions of next year are bound to be up to the B. C. standard of excellence. In Slattery the Association possesses an actor who ranks with the best in collegiate ranks. The plays in which Gerard appeared with Burke Sullivan, James Dooling and Joe Turn- bull, and William Melley were high class productions. As their final contribution to B. C. dramatic history the above mentioned mem- bers of ' 24 will, according to present predictions, take part in the annual college Shakespearean production in June, That they will end their college dramatic careers in a blaze of glory, we are certain, judging by their records of the past. REV. WILLIAM E. MURPHY, S,J, Two liundred seventy-three Two hundred seventy-jour The Heights This successful growth of the College paper during the present year was due in no small part to the untiring efforts of Paul J. Wenners, ' 24, General Manager. He has been responsible for many innovations which have required much courage and good judgment to bring to a successful conclusion. He has very ably filled the position of General Manager, especially in managing the business end of the paper. T. Maxwell Connelly, ' 24, Editor-in-Chief during the second term, succeeded James F. Dooling, whose other work forced his resignation, thus completing a suc- cessful and useful career with the Heights. Mr. Connelly was well worthy of the high office conferred upon him, because of his excellent efforts as Athletic Editor. He conducted a widely read column, The Eagle ' s Eye, and wrote up the football games last fall. That he was successful as the Editor-in-Chief is evident from the high quality of the literary matter in the Heights this year. Another ' 24 man who has given much time and energy to The Heights is James Delaney. Hardly any issue went to press without contributions from this talented writer. James F. Grady, ' 24, was the Athletic Editor during the second term. He con- ducted the Alumni Column in the first term, having in every issue a well filled column of interest to graduates and students. Under Mr. Grady ' s authorship, the Eagle ' s Eye continued to be a popular feature of each issue of the Heights. The President of Senior, Mr. John F. Monahan, held an important position in the News Department. Although much of his time was employed with his official duties as Senior President, he usually found time to write up several news articles. Sylvester Connolly was in charge of the Circulation Department and exhibited remarkable efficiency in distributing each edition on time. Francis Kilcoyne, ' 24, was Subscription Manager and gave up much of his time to the success of this important work. He was also Fulton correspondent and feature writer. His series, The Church and Science, was the subject of much favorable comment. The splendid work of James F. Tobin, ' 25, won him the position of Editor-in- Chief for the coming year. Undoubtedly, he will fill the position capably and efficiently, judging by his very fine work in the past as Chairman of the Editorial Board and as author of Art in Boston College. John McDonald, ' 25, who served as Treasurer, has been honored with the General Managership, for the coming year. Francis B. Welch, whose work as Advertising Manager is chiefly responsible for the present flourishing financial condition of the Heights, has been chosen Business Manager in which position he will be in direct charge of the business department of the paper and will supervise the advertising, circulation and treasury department. The other members of the Managing Board for 1924-1925 are Thomas A. Kearns, chairman of the Editorial Board; William A. Consodine, Sports Editor Harold I. Harris, Treasurer; Gerald Grey, Circulation Manager: Frank B. Russell, x ' Kdvertis- ing Manager. Other members of the Heights during the past year who are deserv- ing especial commendation are Herb Finnegan, Wflliam Donahue, John Collins, Lawrence KiUilea, John Chisholm, Leo Ahearn and William Cunningham. Two hundred seventy-five Two hundred sevenly-six The Stylus Every year witnesses a steady growth and improvement of the Stylus as each new staff tries to excel the preceding one. Circulation is increased, the appearance of the book is improved, new departments are added, and the staff is augmented. This year has been no exception. The Stylus has been bound in a new cover, and the various department heads have enlarged and have improved their columns. The quality of the writings and the general appearance of the paper has attracted very favorable comment from many college publications on the Exchange List. Joseph Tribble ' 24, the Editor-in-Chief of the Stylus, has been the largest con- tributor to the success of the paper this year. He has worked very hard to make this a record year, and he has succeeded. Although great demands have been made upon his time in the planning and managing of the paper, in which he has shown real executive ability, he has found time to write many short stories and to compose several poems for every issue. He has done this besides writing the monthly Editorial Column. In his editorials he has handled wisely and well a variety of topics, ranging from national events to intramural activities. Another member of Twenty-four who has devoted much of his time to the Stylus is Jack Barry. He has been a member of the staff for two years, as Athletic Editor. Mr. Rarry has noted the games which our teams have played this year, writing up his concise and interesting records, which are read by the entire student body. James J. Delaney ' 24 has done much to keep the student body and the alumni united by his monthly letters to the alumni published in the Stylus. These letters have been the result of much labor on Mr. Delaney ' s part in securing news of the various members of the alumni. Besides taking care of his regular department, he has composed several poems and essays. Carl De Simone ' 24 is the Art Editor of the Stylus and has been a staff member for two and one-half years. He has drawn many of the headings for the various departmental columns of the Stylus and has contributed several cartoon pages during the last two years. Paul J. Wenners ' 24 was Assistant Editor of the Stylus during the first term, but he was obliged to resign owing to the demands made upon his time by his position as General Manager of the Heights. John F. Brennan ' 24 has been with the Stylus for several years. During this time he has won recognition as a short story writer of ability. His Exchange Column also received great praise. This year he was an Associate Editor. The Business Department of the Stylus is headed by two Seniors. Timothy H. Cronin is the Advertising Manager and Thomas F. Eustace occupies the position of Business Manager. The staff which has been responsible for so successful a year consists of Joseph L. Tribble ' 24, Editor-in-Chief: James E. Tobin ' 25, Apud Poetas; James J. Delaney ' 24, Alumni Editor; William F. Walsh ' 25, Exchange Editor; John A. Barry ' 25, Athletics Editor; Javier E. Molina ' 26, Domi Editor; Victor C. Carr ' 25, Associate Editor; John F. Brennan ' 24, As.sociate Editor; John F. Cray ' 2 5, Associate Editor; Carl De Simone ' 24, Art Editor; Thomas F. Eustace ' 24, Business Manager; Cornelius A. O ' Keefe ' 25, Assistant Business Manager; John T. Sullivan ' 26, Assist- ant Business Manager; Francis X. Sullivan ' 27, Assistant Business M anager; Timothy H. Cronin ' 24, Advertising Manager; Joseph Dwyer ' 24, Assistant Adver- tising Manager. Two hundred seventy-seven Boston College Radio Club The fall of 1923 ushered in the fifth year of the existence of the B. C. Radio Club. With the previous year ' s record for transmission from the college station as an incentive, when I PR was heard in almost every state in the Union, as well as in Europe during the amateur transatlantic transmission tests, a new interest was stim- ulated which resulted in the qualifying for licenses of a far larger number of members of the club than in any previous year. In spite of difficulties arising from the relative positions of the antenna erected during the previous year and the New Science Building, which serves to act as a damper on the transmission signals, satisfactory results were accomplished, and plans are well under way for a first class code organ- ization, with the possibilities of establishing a commercial or broadcasting station when the completion of the Science Building renders it possible for the club to take up its new and especially designed quarters, which have been established there under the personal direction of the moderator. Rev. Daniel J. Lynch, S.J. While our present equipment is of the highest order, the progress of radio during the past few years necessitates constant effort to keep abreast of the radio world, and, with this in view, only the best of material will be put into the new quarters. For this reason, a corps of efficient operators will be required in order to obtain the best results and the present number of operators among the lower classes presages no difficulty in this respect, so that the radio department of the new building will not be regarded as secondary to any other as regards efficiency. The officers elected to serve for the year were: Charles M. Smith ' 24, President; Raymond G. McCarthy ' 25, Vice President; and Thomas J. O ' Hanlon ' 25, Secretary and Treasurer. During the four years we spent at the Heights Charles E. Duft ' y and Sylvester J. Connolly have been leaders in the activities of the Club. Two hundred seventy-eiglu OSEPH A. TURNBULL PRESinENT Boston College Musical Clubs When mentioning the various activities of the College on the Heights, particular stress should be laid on the wonderful reputation which the Glee Club and Orchestra have established throughout Boston and vicinity. It has been a slow but steady grind, and today Boston College enjoys that recognition which comes from a task well done. Let us go back to the year 1918. Under Carey Martin and Mr. Parsons, S.J., the foundation of the present society was made. Its success was furthered by Mr. Tobin, S.J. and Prof. Tracey, upon whose death in 1921 the present director, Prof. T. Francis Burke, assumed charge. Mr. Tobin, S.J. was succeeded in the fall of 1923 by Mr. Bowhuis, S.J., who last fall was succeeded by Fr. Leavey, S.J. With these capable men at the helm the society was firmly established and prospered. Working on the principle that the best is none too good for Alma Mater, the music chosen for the concerts included the recognized masterpieces of both secular and profane composers. Thus we find on the programs the works of Palestrina and Perosi as well as those of Elgar, Safranek and others too numerous to mention. These compositions were rendered with great technique and feeling by the members of the club, and they received great praise from those f ortunate enough to have heard them. The first appearance of the combined clubs was at Somerville, where their concert was well received by a very appreciative audience. Following this, concerts were performed at the Heights for the Senior Musicale, under the direction of Mr. Joseph Turnbull of the class of 1924; at Waltham, Marblehead and various other towns and cities throughout the state. The club also enjoyed the distinction of broad- casting by Radio one of the best programs heard b) ' radio fans, judging by the letters received afterwards by the officers of the society. On Sunday afternoon, April 27, the annual Jordan Hall performance was given before a crowded and enthusiastic audience, and thus the work of another year was crowned with success. It is our hope that the success which has been enjoyed in the past will continue and increase in the future. -19 2 4 Two hundred eighty-one - --EOk BOSTON For BOSTON, for BOSTON.

It has been considered by competent critics as one of the leading college bands in the East, and this is a worthy tribute to the efforts of the members and to its conductor, Philip C. Cleary of the class of 1924. After the signing of the Armistice in November 1918, the S. A. T. C. was broken up and the regular curriculum again established at Boston College. The officials of the college, however, recognized the value of having a college band, and so induced the members to keep the organization intact under Mr. Martin ' s leadership. Thus was the present band founded. The wisdom of this act is now plainly evident, for of those collegiate activities which help so much in promoting a true esprit de corps among the members of the student body, and which also assist greatly in forming favorable public opinion towards the college, the band certainly holds a prominent place. Father Leavey, S.J., was appointed moderator of the musical clubs for this college year, and Professor T. Francis Burke was re-engaged as director. Philip C. Cleary ' 24 was chosen Student Conductor of the band, and J. Lester Hourigan Asst. Con- ductor. Under the direction of these men rehearsals were begun, and the first public appearance of the year made at the B. C.-Canisius game. On every Saturday after- noon for the remainder of the football season the band played the Boston College songs to the delight of the thousands present at the games. The pinnacle of success was reached at the Holy Cross game when the members, attired in natty uniforms of maroon sweaters, white hats, and white flannel trousers, marched on the field to receive a wonderful ovation from the 50,000 people present. The band paraded to the Holy Cross cheering section, and formed the letters H C at the same time playing the Holy Cross xMma Mater. They then marched before our own cheering section where they played Hail Alma Mater while form- ing the letter B. It was a truly inspiring sight to see 50,000 people stand up as one and remain with heads uncovered while the Alma Mater songs of the two colleges were being sung. After the football season the members laid aside their instruments until the spring when they again appeared at the baseball games in Boston. To 1924 may be attributed a large share of the band ' s success. Besides furnish- ing the conductor and assistant conductor, Mr. Cleary and Mr. Hourigan, the class gave many e.xcellent players, including Charles Foley, William Rooney, George Corcoran, Peter Alemi, Walter Conway, and Robert Merrick. Two hundred cighly-jour Two hundred eighty-seven Fulton Debating Society Spurred on by the energetic spirit of the men of ' 14, the Fulton Debating Society has had one of the greatest and most successful years since its incep- tion. Its debaters have discussed every subject from the Hoston Elevated Trust to the World Court, and audiences as far north as Orono, Maine, have lis- tened to its eloquent representatives. During the first term, the following men directed the affairs of the society: President, Charles W. Sheehan; ' ' ice President, Francis P. Kilcoyne; Secretary, Francis B. Driscoll; Treasurer, Thomas R. Jones; Censor, Charles A. Reardon. REV. NEIL L. BULMAN, S.J. MOPEiiATon The first term was featured by the successful invasion of the Maine Woods, where the University of Maine debaters were vanquished before the eloquent arguments of ' ictor C. Carr, Richard J. Cusick and Charles W. Sheehan. At the opening of the second term, under the directions of the new elected officers, the traditional Junior-Senior debate was held before the spellbound members of the classes of ' 24 and 25. Again, the men of ' 24 demonstrated their superiority. The men who guided the destiny of the society for the second term were: Presi- dent, Francis P. Kilcoyne; Vice President, Charles A. Reardon; Secretary, Francis B. Driscoll; Treasurer, Thomas R. Jones: Censor, James F. Grady. The second term was featured by the never-to-be-forgotten debates with our old rivals, Fordham and Holy Cross, and again the Fulton debaters nobly upheld the debating traditions of Boston College. Lectures were given before numerous Knights of Columbus councils and other organizations, and the fame of Boston College was spread far and wide. The year clo.sed with the hectic prize debate, and the award of the crown for individual superiority. Among the men who upheld the difficult task of representing the society in its public debates and lectures were: Charles W. Sheehan, Joseph Gavan, Richard J. Cusick, Mctor C. Carr, Joseph A. TumbuU, John J. Hanrihan, Francis I- . Kil- coyne, Charles A. Reardon, James F. Grady and Thomas R. Jones. Two hundred cighly-cight Marquette Debating Society In October, nineteen hundred and twenty-three, the Marquette Debating Society entered upon a very spirited and fruitful semester. Great praise is due to the zealous president of the first term for his untiring efforts in building up the organization. The Marquette wisely placed its trust in the following men to guide it through the rough waters of the new year: Javier E. Molina, President; Walter Morris, Vice President; Joseph Mulligan, Secretary; Raymond Castle, Treasurer; Thomas Geagan, Sergeant-at-Arms. On November twenty-third the Marquette held a very successful social, at Brighthelmstone Hall. Richard H. Vahey was chairman of the committee. The annual banquet of the society was held, on the evening of January thirty-first, at the Hotel Westminster. The principal guests were Fr. Patrick J. McHugh, S.J., dean of Boston College, and Edward M. Sullivan, of the Boston School Committee. This affair was very satisfactorily managed by Raymond Castle and Richard Vahey. Matthew Stapleton was elected chairman of the Standing Committee for this term. Cornelius J. Moynihan was invaluable to the society as Chief Publicity Agent. The successful candidates for the various offices for the second semester were: Richard H. Vahey, President; Walter McCracken, Vice President; Harold Harris, Secretary; Raymond Castle, Treasurer; and Francis Driscoll, Sergeant-at-Arms. Francis Corcoran was elected to serve in the capacity of chairman of the Standing Committee. Under the leadership of such men the society continued the successful work of the first term. 19 2 4 Two hundred eighty-nine m fTAMK noonfEY SoMEKHesF (M HAlNf A SAILOR ' S life: is THE LIFE FO AlE IRESiOE VT JoHf BILL FRAZER CLASSES MAY COflE NO CLASSES riAYco _ IWTEI.H VCE — Mop,E Coui-ece rtt Wakthd In Lumber Camps Two hundred ninety Two hundred ninety-one KelLEHEI Kwartette W i.1Eti BlLi.

These were the scenes of our school-time These our companions too, This was the time in youth ' s summer prime When always the sky was blue. Here we met Hegel and Schelling, Learned, too, why they were all wrong. Spinoza and Kant, may rave and may rant But we know an end to their song. Here we learned Horace and Homer Were men who spoke Latin and Greek. All things scientific we probed most prolific, In sports we were always unique. Here climbed the mountain to learning That starts at the end of the El. Our hurrying line at half-after nine Was quite often beat by the bell. And it all was a part of the pleasure That flies on the pinions of time, A throb in the throat, will come with the note Of the towers last resonant chime. Now we haste off to the battle — That ' s what the world wise call life, To take up our gun and start on the run To join in the storm and the strife.

A., President Arthur Manning introduced a prom- inent speaker, James Ward of New York, who read a paper proving that the so-called Nean- derthal man disinterred in the environs of Milton was nothing but the skeleton of a former B. C. Student, Joseph L. Tribble. He claimed that the enlarged skull bone proved conclusively that it was a relic of a poet. Thomas R. Mansfield then interposed and cast scorn and obloquy on the former speaker. He stated that the aforesaid and above-mentioned Tribble was still living and that it must be the remains of one John Holbrow, Q.E.D.

MONSTER REUNION OF CLASS OF ' 24 .4s told by Special Correspondent Swampscott, Mass., June 22, 1944. Dear Editor: The Boston College class of 1924 finished, yesterday, a three-day convention at the New Ocean House, Swampscott, Mass. The days were spent by the boys renewing old acquaint- ances, and many stories of romance and ad- venture were told in the spacious lobby of the hotel. Near the desk stood Joe Cody, now the proud Three hundred thirteen manager of the Hotel, casting his eaf;le eye in all directions to see that the boys were petting service in the real sense of the word. In one corner of the Hotel stood a small group of interesting spectators. Being rather curious I went over to see what was holding their attention, and I soon found that Toncy Flaherty, alias Jack Dillon was demonstrat- ing on Charlie Foley, just how he had acquired the middleweight title, for the edification of the crowd, among whom were John Fitzgibbons, Jim Kelleher, Tommy Kelleher, and to see the wild look of consternation on Charlie ' s face, the demonstration must have been convincing. On walking a Uttle further up the lobby, I came across some classmates talking very se- riously. I did not recognize them at first because of their heavy beards, but on scrutiniz- ing them a little more closely, and being greeted by them, I immediately recognized Doctors Breen, Mulligan, Brosnan, Manning, De Simone and Carroll. Having no desire to enter a discussion on a new cure for cancer, I bowed myself out of the gathering. Looking for lighter entertainment, I saw my chance to witness what seemed to be a young riot, a little further on, but it turned out to be nothing more than Jack Beaver, football coach of Oak Bluffs College showing Coach Ray Duffy of Bingville University a new play of his own. Coach Leo Hughes of San Antonio and Coach George Dowd of Siwash were also taking part in the discussion. After this strik- ing contrast a bell boy, not knowing my identity, whispered in my ear: Say, Mister, see that guy over there? That ' s Jimmy Kelly, star pitcher of the New York Giants. Looking over I saw Jimmie talking with his namesake, Ed Kelly, who, as usual, didn ' t seem to believe anything that Jim was saying. Standing next to the pair, were four distinguished looking men. Going over I shook hands with Mike Connolly, Joe Casey, Ed Kelleher and Joe Machado. Mike, it seems, is President of the Flicker Taxi-cab Company, and he was telling Joe Casey, Ed Kelleher and Joe Machado that he made more money than the three of them together at their chemical plant. Wishing to maintain my neutrality, I moved on. Sitting isiilalud and indifferent to his sur- roundings, with unshorn locks, smoking a pipe, with a preoccupied air, was a man dressed in black. On coming closer, I recognized Jim Delaney, the famous poet, and not wishing to disturb his flow of thoughts, again I moved on. As though I had played the part of the tres- passer long enough, I strolled out the door, and on to the golf links, and paused long enough to greet Jim Dooling and Syl Connolly, who were playing a match. Jim told me that Jack Barry was over at the courts playing tennis in an effort to reduce. I suggested that Les Madden should join him. Is that so? says a voice, and turning around, there I found Les, looking much thinner. Well, says Les, I guess Joe Cody will miss the punches he used to get at my former mid-rift. He ex- plained that he had lost his superfluous weight by chasing people who owed him for insur- ance he had sold them. At this point, Jim Meehan showed up, dressed like a dandy and smoking a big black segar. He explained with a careless air, that he was now a movie star with the famous Illaska players. His next picture is entitled You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil may be lead. Jim Kelleher now enters the scene, accom- panied by George Corcoran, or we should say, the other way round, for it seems that George was trying to beat up some fellow who had insulted him. The fellow, shrinking with fear for the reason he thought that Jim might let him go, turned out to be Dick Cusick, a foreign consul to Ireland, Dick, it seems, thought that George ' s tongue was hanging out, and told him to pull it in, and it turned out to be his neck- tie. Having pacified George, I now retraced my steps to the hotel to look up John Mona- han, city editor of the Boston Post, and my old friend, John Mullin, Editor of the A ' ciC York World. As I re-entered the Hotel, I heard the strains of a popular air, and glancing at the orchestra, I saw Phil Cleary, all dressed up in a Jazz suit, leading the band, and Les Hourigan jiumping a trombone, On inquiring at the desk for Mr. Monahan, the clerk said that he had just stepped out to Three hundred fourteen his car, and going out, I found him using auto- suggestion on his Ford, which would not go. Asking him why he was leaving in such a hurry, he said that he had a scoop for the Post, which was a personal interview with John Holbrow, the famous President of the Consolidated Pie Crust Company, who had just returned from Europe. Dick Burke, a shoe manufacturer of Lynn, now came on the scene and said that Ed. Murphy had just combined business with pleasure by trying to sell him an automobile, however, without success. When I asked him why he did not buy one he said that Napoleon got along without one so he guessed he could. Charley Dee appeared at this period and ex- plained that he could not have arrived any sooner because it was his afternoon to tend jug down at B. C. H. where he taught school. As it was getting rather late I now went to the dining room where I thought I could find some more of the boys. Before I reached the dining hall I met Jack Keefe and judging from the soup stain on his vest, I deduced that he had eaten. He appeared very successful, and informed me that he had a job in a black- smith shop shoeing iiies. He also told me that there was nothing in the rumor that he was the guy who had put the salt in the ocean. His parting remark was that if I expected to get in on the hot Airedales I had better hurry up and get in the dining room. The first person I saw inside was Jim Desmond ( no relation to Desperate Desmond ) who stopped gargling soup long enough to tell me that he was working for a drug concern in Reading. On being asked his duties he replied that he slept in a show window demonstrating a sleep- ing powder. He asked me to sit down and have a bowl of soup which I did. Suddenly he yelled that he had found a billiard ball in his soup. I told him not to throw it away as I might perhaps find a cue stick in mine and we could have a game of pool. However I did not, and now left him to look for some more old friends. I was rewarded by finding the sterling trio at the next table : Jims King and Doherty and Bill Kelliher. Jim Doherty and Jim King were having an argument regarding a point of etiquette. Doherty held that you should put sugar in your finger bowl while King said that you should drink it as it is. I settled the argument by explaining that it was optional. Then I learned that Jim Doherty had a job making faces in a watch factory, Jim King was an agent for nix-ain ' t-it-iron, and KeUiher was a fioor-walker in a large pretzel factory, Frank Griffin was sitting at an opposite table, and had an appearance of great affluence, so I investigated. I made money through oil, said Frank. How come? said I. Well you see, a wealthy aunt of mine tipped over an oil stove and was burned to death, and I inherited her money. Having declined a proferred Mecca I moved on. Ed Kelley was now at liberty and condescended to give me an interview. Ed has achieved fame as a soft shoe dancer and was not a bit stuck up over his accomplishments. He said there were other good dancers beside himself, and when I mentioned Frisco he said that he was good too. The reunion dinner was a huge success. President Monahan welcomed everyone with glowing words. Short addresses were given by Mayor Reddy of Brockton, Ex-Consul to Am- sterdam A. C. Murphy, F. J. O ' Connor, lead- ing South Boston Attorney, Admiral Harry A. Follen and some others. Cleary ' s band played several selections. NEWS ITEMS FROM DIFFERENT PLACES NEW ORLEANS, La.— The A. V.

To-night, as you go home in the twihght of a winter ' s day and this welcome greets you at the door, sit down in some quiet corner and think a httle while about the future — not in fear and trembling, but with the same calm confi ' dence that you plan the coming day. Have you enough hfe insurance? Suppose something should happen to-morrow that would take you suddenly from your family? Would there be enough money left to enable them to live happily through the long years in the same comfort that they are living now? Or would they be forced to go to work or be dependent on relatives for even the bare necessities of Ufe? The greatest protection that you could possibly give your wife and children is the protection that comes through a life insurance policy with the vBtna Life Insurance Company. We say the greatest protection because the ifetna Life Insurance Com- pany and affiliated companies are the strongest multiple-line insurance organization in the world. There is hardly any form of insurance that JEtra. dois not issue. To be fully y tna-ijed is to forestall financial disaster in every form — to know that, come what may, your future and the future of those dependent on you are absolutely safe.
