REQUIESCAT IN PACE Prologue The laughing fiekls of youth, Besprinkled with a daisied snow, Through which a gurgling Ijrook Unbounded runs, blush neath the glow Of the spring dawn The armies of the sea Storm battlemented cliffs ; retreat ; Now victors, now repulsed In ceaseless strife amid the heat Of noonday sun The aged mountain peaks In purple vestments reminisce The glory of the day, And weary, seek the restful bliss Of dream-sown night — JAMES E. TOBIN ' 25 Acknowledgements When the isreseut Sub Turri staff accepted that we might term the challenge of editing the college Annual, it realized fully the task confronting it. Nor did it take any great length of time to learn whom the class might well number among its friends. From many sources we have received whole hearted co-oper- ation and assistance. Among them: Patrick J. McHugh, S. J., the Reverend Dean, whose invaluable advice and timely criticisms were most appreciated. Vantine and Vantine, Photographers, and especially Miss Mary Vantine who lent great assistance in the supervision of our Photography. Mr. Robert J. Brawley 20, to whom we owe the artistic individual cartoons that feature the Sub Turi ' i. Mr. Clifton C. Church, whose photography has made possible the beauty of the Campus Section. Mesrs John T. Sullivan and Grattan O ' Connell ' 26, whose sketches and cartoons have made this edition the foremost college annual of the year. Hammersmith Kortmeyer Co., publishers of the Sub Turri, and especially to Mr. George Warren, whose counsel regarding the editing of the Annual was of inestimable value. The Philomatheia Club, and in particular Mrs. Vincent P. Roberts, who as ever, have contributed generously to our support. Our manj ' advertisers who have pledged us their confidence and financial support. Last of all the staff ' and the other members of the class who without thought of personal gain devoted many hours of their time to the preparation of this Sub Turri of the quarter-century class.

' ' NE of the boys who left our class at the end of Sopho- more t o enter the ' ' Sem, ' ' made the statement that Jimmy was one of the funni- est chaps, he had ever met. We agree with him in this. One of the rays of sunshine that lightened up our collegiate career, was Jimmy. His poker face in putting over a witicism in class, or out of class, has been a delight to all his classmates. In Lynn, the city of shoes, the local boxing promoter has taken him under and hopes to make him one of the best feather-weight leatherpushers his win in the East boxin We, who knew Jimmy so intimately, can vouch for his ability in Another role in which he lias gained considerable reputation is that of a Barney Oldfield. Those that took the trip to Syracuse with him during the football season of 1924, can well remember his escapades around Little Falls, New York. Jimmy will be remembered by his classmates as a comedian par excellence, a fine chap to know, and a real pal. Whatever path in life he may pursue after graduation we will want him to remember us and look forward to the annual banquet, where we will all meet again in good fellowship eagerly to await Jimmy ' s turn to relate his very latest story.

' OM is of the quiet sort — gen- ial, courteous, cool, calm and collected. Self - possessed, you know, impossible to flurry or excite. Without being at all what one might call a bookworm or a grind, he, nevertheless, has been noted for his serious and conscientious application to study, and in this respect hardly any one of us has been more favorably regarded by the professors. Tom ' s avocations, as far as they have been revealed to his intimate com- panions, are two — radio and The Ford. He has successfully made a number of both of these contrivances by buying parts and piecing them together. As an incidental result of such pastime, he has acquired amazing proficiency in the art of solving crossword puzzles. From his interest in motors, we are led to expect the day will soon dawn when Tom will be build- ing machines in competition with our friend Henry, the originator of the tin you love to touch. Showing that he has the making of an industrial giant, he found time to engage on a business venture of considerable risk. With two auto trucks, a nominal amount of cash, and a spotless reputation, he set out last June to build up a remunerative business. And by the diligent application, which is always his, he suc- ceeded. Thomas Gerard, we foresee for thee a long and prosperous life, as a business man of superior ability. Ok,,,, 7 .A. , .

' ' TURRI ADIES and geutlemeu, parti- cularly the former, it would be of great advantage to you to note well this member of our class. Bate hails from Lawrence. This textile center has for many years given her favorite sons to Boston College. Now Bill, as some are wont to term him, has succeeded in upholding the reputation of his fair city, and as he passes out from our gothie arches, the name of Lawrence will remain unblemished. In Freshman and Sophomore the works of Cicero and Horace became his delight. So great a liking had he for the classics, that in Junior he joined the Special Creek Class. As his classmates will tell, his work in that class was little short of brilliant. Perhaps you have the impression that Bate is a grind. Far from it! — The secret is this: On that long train ride to the Queen City of the Merrimac Valley, he has been accustomed to pass the time away in the company of his books. His spare time he devoted to the various social and scholastic activities. Especially noticeable was his interest in the Lawrence Boston Col- lege Club. This organization rewarded him by chosing him to act as its Vice-President, and we will look for- ward to the day when we read of him as holding the same office on the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.

OE was one of the old guard ; one of those who answered among the first ten when the role was called ; one who braved the profes- sor ' s fire from the first line trench for four years. Consequently his blond thatch became sadly depleted perhaps from thinking as to how he should apportion positions to the clamoring Seniors, or perhaps with worry as to the next move of the prof. The position Joe held as chairman of the Employment Committee was no cinch, and the repre- sentative from Somerville fulfilled his duties in his customary efficient and thorough manner. Joe was appointed to this post because of his vast and travelled experience. It is claimed that he has stopped at all the leading hotels in every American city, at least long enough to light a cigarette in the lobby. Joe was always literarally inclined. He first tried his hand at writing, way back in Freshman. During his Sophomore j ' ear he was a big factor in the success of the class paper. In his third year at the College, Joe rose to the position of Editor-in-Chief of the JUNIOR EAGLE. And again in Senior, Joe stands out as a member of the elite on the Stylus staff. His blond thatch shines in our memories from the firing line of Senior ; a beacon light of hope to those behind, and a betraj er of the sunny disposition that ever accompanied the golden locks.

' SI L ' H B - ' j l 1 WlJ|fe ri 1 UMORS that have reached our ears from Jamaica Plain have it that Joe Bond is numered among the leading lights of that district. When- ever there is a whist party of any importance iu his home town you may always tind Bondie among the winners. Indeed, one of the largest rooms iu his home has been set aside to display the trophies that the quiet youth has brought home. But Joe does not confine his activities to the card table. As a pool player he has made an enviable reputation persuading little balls to smoothly glide over the green into the corner pocket. Not content with these laurels, Joe came to the Heights to win more. And we ' ll say he did. He tackeled the Latin and Greek, and then philosophy. - They were all easy as pie for Joe. Bondie main- tained a high standing in his studies during his entire career in College. May the excellence of your work continue, and stand by you in vour chosen field of endeavor, ' ' Bondie.

Learning is but an adjunct to oneself And where we are our learning also is. 0, as he is familiarly known by his classmates, has al- ways been connected with the bigger things of life. In the 1924 campaign, for the highest honor in the land, our estimable friend Andy Gump had uo more loyal supporter than this fair-haired youth from Wakefield. In that memorable trip in which 4.ndy canvassed all the im- portant cities from coast to coast, Bo ' accompanied him, making speeches now and then when the man that wears no man ' s collar ' became hoarse. Such an experience could not but have its effect on Bo, and soon after his return to the Heights, the boys were all pledged to vote for the gentleman who made famous that expression Oh Min. In his studies Frank has always been among the topnotchers. In his Junior year he was accustomed to take long walks in the after- noon. On these occasions he was generally accompanied by the Reverend Father McCloskey. If you always keep as good company, ' ' Bo, ' ' there .in no need of worrying about the future.

XDER the shadow of the great Bunker Hill Monu- ment was born the handsome youth whose picture gazes on you from this page. Ed- earh ' da.ys were spent in the vicinity of the place from which Paul Revere started on his historic ride. He then so.journed for a while at oitr prep school, and later made his appearance at the Heights. We remember him as a Freshman, the same dreamy, blushing youth he is today, — Quiet, friendly, sincere. He showed his spirit and loyality for the class and Alma Mater by becoming as a Freshman, manager of both football and baseball. From Freshman he has been one of Father McCloskey ' s promoters of the League of the Sacred Heart. Always active and cooperating in every activity, he has demonstrated his worth as a member of ' 25. Eddie was alwaj s one the Boston Public librar.y ' s chief customers. Rumors from Charlestown state that the local branch library would seem lonesome without his presence there evenings. After the librarj closes for the night, Eddie takes a turn or two around the monument and then retires for the night. Ever a devotee of the simple life, is Eddie. As we have said before, he is quiet, friendly, and sincere. We wish the best of luck in his life ' s work. BUB JAMES FRANCIS BRIDE Draper St., Dorchester, Mass. Boston College High.

Jake spent the early part of his life on the local sand lots the local gymnasiums. This resulted in developing his shoulders to such an extent, that during the summer of 1924, Jake posed for several magazine covers and ads for Doctor Strong- bolt ' s correspondence course in physical culture. This same pair of shoulders stood him in good stead on the Class Football team. He became the terror of Alumni Field, making all Juniors drop in his wake. Aside from this, we have found Jake to be one of the finest fellows on the Heights, always willing and ready to aid in any class activity. In his studies he has always been successful, often showing a keen analytic mind by doping the important things to be studied. His system of doping has become quite popular among the undergraduates, because of its success in his When Dorchester steps out, it steps out big. On these occasions we find the honorable Mr. Bride the lead- er of the younger set. And he is some leader, we ' ll tell you ! But he has another claim to fame ; for he is one of the best leatherpushers in the college. His ability has often been demonstrated and needless to say, respected. With such qualifications, Jake, success is yours for the asking ; take it. BUB TURRI JOHN PATRICK BROSNAN 38 Second Ave., Lowell, Mass. Lowell High School. Varsity Baseball 3, 4. Blushing is the color of virtue. ]MONG the delegation from LoAvell that arrive at Newton each morning, is Johnnie Brosnan. The first year of his collegiate career was sjient at Notre Dame. However, with all its heraldry it could not hold him. When the local institution called, he packed up his baggage and left South Bend promptly to become a proud member of the class of ' 25. His record as a student has been of the highest grade. He was not content with this, however, and each spring he had been one of Alma Mater ' s repre- sentatives on the diamond. His work on the baseball field has Iwen of the same high character as his consistent work in studies. To have gained such an enviable position of scholar and athlete is to have attained much, but Johnnie continued to be one of those modest fellows who will give their support to every Boston College activity and seek no reward. We, his fellow classmates, have enjoyed his com- panionship during the three years that he has been with us. He will be remembered, as a student, an athlete, and a friend. We hope that he will look back on his days with us as his most pleasant. In after life we hope to see him often. He has qualified as a true and loyal member of our class ; a worthy son of B. C. ; and a real credit to his community. [471 JOHN JOSEPH BROWN o3Ash St., Dedliani, Mass. Boston College High School. Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4. Dedham B. C. Club. Sub Turri. NoMe thoughts are heaven ' s inheritance ' iHB elder of the Browu l)rothers, neither of whom are related to the famous saxaphone sextette of a few ' ears ago, John, is, we sup- pose, the one who gives the orders. Though we have never noticed him so acting, we take it on authority. To speak of these boys is to recall their four years here with us, during which period they quietly, and easily went through their courses, never causing themselves, their professors, or the class, the slightest trouble. In other words, they behaved themselves admirably. Thus should Dedham be doubly proud ; once for John, and again for Lawrence. Wherever Lawrence was, there was John ; they looked alike, talked alike, and acted alike, — yes, they were alike. John was distinguished fi-om his brother by his straight black hair. He is tall, lithe, of serious mein, with a smile, deep-rooted and sincere. His whole countenance beamed whenever he smiled. He was a silent, energetic worker ; the kind you never hear from until he has accomplished his task. John served on several class committees, and it was in this work that we realized his earnestness and dependability. To sum up ; John was the kind of a chap that made us realize that there were fine characters, men of excel- lent qualities, moving about unheralded, on all sides. TURRI does not the name Lawrence Leonard lend to it an aristocratic touch? You ' ll observe that the names of the Brown boys are euphonous, which makes Lawrence and John alike in still another respect. Tall, slow-speaking, this chap, was a duplicate of President Coolidge ' s son. You have heard him described, as tall, neatly dressed, serious, quiet, and easy igoing — well that description fits Lawrence to a T, and when we read it we thought of this fellow. It was no pleasant task to come from Dedham to LTniveraity Heights, day in and day out, but this was his route, and though it afforded him time to study, in going and coming, still, it shows an earnes tness and desire for education that should not be passed over. It was ever a debatable ((uestion as to which of the BroA Tis knew their lessons better. They studied together, played together, and altogether they evidenced a wonderful spirit of com- I ' adcship and pleasant fraternity. That is why, in speaking of these boys we have fallen so often into a discussion of them, collectively, but it was thus that we knew them, — as the Brown brothers, the inseparables. What we said of John we might have said of Lawrence, and vice versa, and what we said of both is nothing hut good, and thus we leave them ' ' till we meet again.

' ' Joe is a graduate of Boston College High School and of course we know what that means. When it comes to debating Joe is there as usual. He was a member of all the debating societies during his four years at the Heights. His oratory is of the Ciceronian type and his speeches have well impressed the Hoi polloi. •■Joe served on the heights staff and his endeavors have been rewarded with no little amount of success. He also acted in the capacity of editor of a well known Waltham weekly. As a member of the ' ' Try and get it club, ' ' his ability showed itself in bold relief. While we are sure that further information regarding this far famed organi- zation would be interesting, we regret that the said in- formation we have been unable to obtain. Evidently, our reporter remarks, the club is well named. Its char- acter is unquestioned, for any club, that has enrolled among its members, a man of such sterling qualities as ' Joe Burke, would easily l ear investigation. ,f fi j2tSl ' i attended special Greek class in our Junior .year will ever re- member the delightful re- citations of Bobbie Burns. It was in this class that the appelation of Bobbie was first applied to him. Perhaps the resemblance of his Greek verse to that of the Scotch poet ' s, is the cause for this, — perhaps. Bobbie is one of the most likeable fellows that we have met at the Chestnut Hill institution. During his entire four .years at Boston College, that quiet retiring smile has cemented many true friendships ; the sort of friendships that will last during the long and we hope, evenful years of graduate life. Bobbie hails from that section of the countrj that made famous llhe 17th of June. At the base of the very Bunker Hill Monument itself he spent his childhood, and it was from there that he eame to - usr Since then Bobbie has been a regular Boston College man supporting all collegiate functions. As a member of the Charlestowu B. C. Club he has been an active worker, and has contributed greatly to its success. May we meet many more such men as ' ' Bob- bie Burns.

' HERE came, from the fatli- (imless recesses of Abington, -Mass., a shy, blushing youth, 1 l)earing under his arms huge olumes, to the Heights. He has left behind the scenes of his child- hood endeavors, and was gone forever from the portals of Abington High, which he so valiantly graced with his presence. One of the leaders, both academically and socially, this popular member of the class of ' 25 was not long in adjusting himself to his new surroundings. Cal , together with his boon companion. Bill C41avin, took an active part in all the functions of the class. A hard and earnest worker, he spent his summers with the Pictorial Review crew, and met with well deserved success. Around the time of Christmas, Cal did his part in spi-eading Yuletide joy helping Uncle Sam. His delivery of all letters and parcels was decidedly prompt and efficient. Like his illustrious namesake, he might be dubbed silent Cal, the Stoic ' ' , for seldom did he speak ; but when he opened his lips, wise words did flow. He aspired to the track team, but domestic pressure necessitated his retirement.

Happy days, and those not so happy, found Phil the same old optimist. And he could be optimistic, for he always had his work done before all others, the quality of which placed him among the leaders in his class.

Since then his career has been one of a front page character. His remarkable debating ability obtained for him the presi- dency of the Brosnahan Debating Society, the vice-presidency of both the Mar- quette and the Fulton, and a position on the lecture teams of both the latter named societies. His ability to write both editorials and short stories soon won him a place on the Stylus staff. In his Senior year he was rewarded by being chosen to act as Editor-in-chief of that publication. Always active as the above list indicates, Vic has taken a prominent jiart in nearly every activity of the college. To do such, and yet maintain a high rank in his studies, is some accomi)lishment. And that is just what Vic has done. For such an active and successful youth, it is easy to predict a future, for Vic has already started on his first million. In parting, Vic , we state that we have been proud to have you as a member of our class, and hope that in the cares of business, and the strife of the world you will not forget the ciuarter century class of Boston College.

' Tliat man lives tiviee who lives his first life well. ROM the .shadow of the Watertown Arsenal comes this quiet, studious and iin- assuming youth. It is per- haps with age that he has grown quiet, for while in Freshman and Sophomore his logic was heard many times on the forums of the Brosnahan and the Marquette debating societies. In Junior he became one of our merry song birds in Prof. Burke ' s academy of music. The band also claimed his talents at that time. So you see, no matter how quiet he may be now, he was enough in evidence during his first three years at college. A considerable part of his time, however, has been taken up with teaching night school. For this, Frank deserves much credit. It is generally conceded that the regular course at college is enough for any per son to be subjected to at one time. How Frank finds time for all his activities is more than we can see, but he does, and excels in all. This is the tj ' pe of individual that makes the Class of ' 25 that greatest class of Boston College. More men of his calibre are needed in public life today. What a Senator is to a country, Frank is to B. C, a true repre- sentative of alma MATER . BUB TURRI JOHN WILLIAM CASS 86 Westbourne St., Brookline, Mass. Gushing Academy. Sodality 1, 2, .3, 4.

' I find the medicine worse than the mala HILE John does not claim to have the brains of Daniel Webster, nevertheless, tak- ing all the facts into consid- eration, we find John to have been a worthy son of Boston Col- lege, true to her ideals of a Catholic gentleman. While at B. C, he was prominent in class athletics, making quite a rep in football, baseball, and track. In fact, he was known as the one man track team at Cushing Academy before his matriculation at the Heights. John answers to the nickname of Chick among his close friends. Chick is a most likable chap. His motto is Service for others, and his giving the fellows the well known break will long be remembered by many. John ' s strong points along scholastic lines are the sciences, i articularly chemistry and biology. He could be found almost any afternoon in the laboratory examining the cartex of the cerebellum ; or of some strange animal ; or performing some other profound experiment in biology.

X those dim, dead days be- yond recall, when Arthur Clancy left Newburyport and arrived at University i) Heights, little was it thought that 1925 would be honored with his presence. When Doc first entered these walls he was a pre-medic. After having absorbed all available knowledge here, he entered the Medical School of Georgetown L ' niversity. Progress, hitherto quite rapid, was impeded by ill health and he was forced to abandon the course, which misfortune benefited ' 25. He returned to B. C. to secure his degree, seemingly disproving the prevalent belief they don ' t come back. In these two years we have learned that a man oft ' belies appearances. From behind his calm and serious exterior, we have more than once received the brightest and most mirth-provoking witticisms. Of course Doc is better known by those who roomed with him at Manet Rd. There he was known for his intrinsic worth. Manj- were the happy days he had. Try as we would, we could never succeed in ruffling his even disposition. Out of all these pleasant memories, one seems to stand forth, that of the half hour ' s work between the first and second bells, when manual labor was needed to raise him from the arms of Morpheus. As years roll on, recall us once in a while, old chum, for the men of ' 25 are always anxious to know of your doings. Remember, Doc , when any man of ' 25 meets you, there is a hearty welcome waiting, and when good fellows get together, we want you there. FEANCIS HENKY CLARK 55 Halifax St., Jamaica Plain, Mass.

Manj have been the good times in this life, but he can tell j ou about little things that happen and make you feel as though you personally experienced them, much better than we. A good natured, sincere lad, is perhaps the best way to describe him; each of these qualities manifested in their fullest degree. Traits such as these have won him a large acquaintanceship especially in his home town. He was a mem- ber of the regulars on several local amateur baseball and football teams, and represented tlie class of ' 25 on the Junior football team, and was a star on the Freshman nine. Had he a larger stature we are sure he would have been on the Varsity. During ' 25 ' s Junior Week, Prank was personally responsible for a large number of patron- esses. His flivver was famous, and like Mary ' s little lamb, wherever the flivver was, there was Fi ' anlv. In short, whenever the roll was taken i-ecording the loyal ardent men of 1925, the name of Francis H. Clark was to be found always among its leaders. [58] J hUL- yQJi XT .

History has it that this part- nership had its origin in the early days when ' both members sojourned at B. C. High. However, some inconsiderate college professors made sincere endeavors to blast the hopes of the pair by separating them according to the alphabetical value of their respective names. Sufficient it is to say, that despite outside influences, their frieiidship is ciuite as firm as in older days.

Being a member of the Pre-Med course, much of his time has been spent in the chem. and biological labs. When these were closed, however, he could be found down with Jack Kyder ' s track squad. Ditring the dreary winter afternoons, when he would be neither in the labs or on the boards, Dan and, his two whistles would stroll into the Sub Turri office and liven up things a bit, with his stories and his one-man-band, supplying the necessary relaxation to us in our laborious efforts in compiling this book. Dan intends to be a doctor. We believe that his sunny disposition and his Stirling character are admir- ably suited for his chosen field. 1781 BUB TURRI EDWIN THOMAS DONOVAN 91 Brook Road, Milton, Mass.

But that is kind of an indication of George ' s activities. He always did more than his share. He was interested in the debating societies; was a member of the Glee Club; and sold America each week when that publication, appeared for distribution. He was ever faithful and dependable. He was one of the leading forces in the Brockton B. C. Club and much of his studying was done in the library and on the train going to and from school. If perchance you should be around when twilight is settling dowTi around the gray buildings, a dim corner light in the library w ould probably reveal George at work quietly and industriously. As time went on he would glance at his watch and finally gather up his books and start for the train unnoticed and unheeded by the more frivolous students at play in their various realms. But George had his reward in the esteem of his class- mates, by their respect and by their admiration. After all that ' s a pretty worth while thing.

You must meet and enjoy him yourself to get a full appreciation of the man. A calm reserve set him apart from the rest of the world, but anyone who cared (and many did care) to pierce the veil of that reserve, were much the better for it. Confronted with the task of making known to the general public the char- acter of Jack, we say that he is one of whom the town from which he comes is justly proud. This feeling of pride we infer from our constant association with Jack, is quite mutual. Many of us have noted the gold medal which adorns his watch-chain yet it is only on close riuestioning that we learn from him its history. The medal was won by gaining a first place in an inter-class meet. The javelin throw was Jack ' s specialty, but was not his only activity. Jack ' s loyalty was never questioned, but it received its true test, as did the loyalty of all of us, when he joined that great throng of enthusiastic rooters who made the trip to Syracuse. True it is, that the advice to Go West did not work out very well in the case of our athletic team, but it proved, together with other things, the spirit of B. C. men, and among tliem, Jack Donovan.

As a quiet, unassum- ing young gentleman who never asserts himself too vociferously, Walter has made many friends both inside and outside the college. Concerning his extra activities, Walter has acted in the capacity of one of Uncle Sam ' s blue coated agents, during the past few years. Here has has sped along on their journey various shaped, colored, and sometimes scented missives that pass through that department of service known as the Post Office. As a connoisseur of motor cars, Walter is a genius. His first offense in the art of Four Wheel-No Brakes, and Zenith carburetors, made him the proud possessor of one of the common nuisances known as bugs. From then on Walter was in the market, and his remarkable trading in gasoline buggies has enabled him to emerge with a clean title to a fairly good vehicle of a well known make. It takes a clever man to trade continually in Flexible Fours, and to continue to make an appreciable gain with each transaction. Henry Ford of Detroit is looking for good men, Walter.

On arriving at the Heights he immediately stepped in medias res and made his presence felt. Answering the first call of the football squad, he fitted perfectly into the pivot position vacated by Jack Heaphy. During his four years, D.yker was one of Coach Cavanaugh ' s best men, comparing favorably with the East ' s all- Amer- ican material. ' ' Cav ' ' said of Doyle, ' ' He -s a man ' s man, a real man. He has the grit and backbone and is in the struggle every minute. When thoughts of battles on the gridiron were over each year. Bill could be in an altogether different light. Instead of making faces at opposing linesmen, he busied himself by defend- ing or attacking any proposition brought before the Ful- ton or Marquette. Anyone who has attended the Ora- torical contests can testify to Bill ' s ability as a Daniel Webster. Some of his finest speeches were made, how- ever, on the 8:40 Special from Dudley St. The class of ' 25 had chosen him as its president in Freshman and in Senior, the student body elected him to the highest office that a B.

When the snow disap- peared and the birds began to twitter again, we found Huck a candidate for the baseball squad, and, although the competition was severe, he remained among the topnotchers, finally se- curing a berth at second base.

B. course. From the very out- set he devoted himself as- siduously to the realm of scientific pursuits, distinguishing him- self especially as a chemist. It was, no doubt, on account of his studious nature that we saw less of him than we would have like to have seen. Quietly, and uiiostentatiouslj ' he arrived each day at the Heights and just as quietly he took his leave. His work is rather of the steady, slow, progressive variety which promises better success in the future than the kind which is carried on amid the brilliant radiance of the less lasting species. The national pastime has no more ardent devotee than the hero of this narrative. His interest in baseball is not merely conlined to the position of that of a spectator, but finds expression in the active partici- pation as a player and manager. It was only the wealth of excellent diamond material which prevented his hold- ing down a regular position on the Varsity nine. We expect Jim, that j -our knowledge of science will prompt you to take up engineering as a lifework, for we feel that your present tastes lie in that field.

N Fluff we had one of the greatest kickers in the class. This maj ' seem rather harsh, but this widely traveled in- mi- m jivici al has the distinction of putting- up a kick in every city he ever visited. In his early days the family cradle, a priceless heirloom, suffered un- mercifully under the attack of his feet. He literally jumped into the longies, the first pair of which received considerable damage when he experimented with the height of a series of inviting hydrants. The smile which Fluff possessed seemed a contradiction to his kicking nature, but we hasten to explain that his kicking was all done with his two feet. Nor was he a chorus man — just a high-jumper. Simply a genial, blond-headed, round-faced timber-topper. Merely intercollegiate champion, a six-foot three man — in ability, not size. Besides being the idol of the class in this respect, he was a national favorite in New York, Newark, Phillie, Portland, and points North, South and West, where he dug his spikes into the ground. In his senior year the jumper substituted the Gold of the Unicorn for the Maroon of the Eagle, and served Jack Ryder under the colors of the B. A. A. His jump- ing for the Boston Club hereafter will keep the numerals Twenty -five ever before the eyes of the sporting world.

TIEN the shades of darkness nestled about the college, and the student body had traced their footsteps home- ward, it was not an uncom- mon thinii ' to find Jerry at home in the A. A. office. In fact it was because of his fondness for this cloister, that he became track manager. In Junior when vacancies arose in the assistant man- agerial berths, Jerry was appointed, and in the past year served well in his office officially as Manager of Track. When Boston migrated to Syracuse, N. Y., Jerry went a la the ' 49ers, and he still tells of the capers of suspicious dogs, whose fangs clawed into the persons of his companions and himelf. Jerry was a sort of a lackadaisical fellow, in fact upon his first trip to New York City, in escort of the track team, he was al- most annihilated by becoming caught in a whirlpool of traffic on Fifth Avenue. But he was not lazy. His languid air was indicative of a thinker. His dreams were not the bubbles of an idler, for he had a soul that loved the beautiful things of life and liked to ponder over them.

Shaffrey, he hibored through the pre- med course, and now seeks to further his medical education at Columbia.

A quiet fellow, who is always willing to lend a helping hand, inspired his fellow-students to greater effort by his good example.

He followed the football team to Syracuse with a party of classmates and their start on the trip was pictured in the Boston Advertiser the next day.

F you wei ' e asked the ques- tion, Who is one of the leading thespians of the class of 1925, you would at once reply that Frank Hynes is one, and a chief one, too. Be- sides being an actor of unusual ability and talent, he has won renown as a writer of modern and classical plays. The prize winning play of the class of 1925 during its Junior class activities, was Aunt Kitty ; a product of Mr. Hynes ingenuity and originality. A faithful worker, a dear friend to all who knew him and came in contact with him in any way, he will always be remembered by us as ready to help anyone who was in trouble or distress. At 8 :30 any morning we coiilcl find him studying the theories of philosophies that he might be able to apply them to our daily lives. To be versatile is one thing and to be a specialist is another.

As a member of the different debating societies his voice has been heard early and often in the period of open debate granted by such societies. His abil- ity as a speaker has considerably improved, and now he appears quite at ease upon the platform. When the debating societies and the Stylus are not holding forth, Anthony maj ' be found practicing with the orchestra. His instrument has been an im- - portant part of both the Band and Orchestra. His ability to play in the band enabled him to attend all the football games without being bothered with the usual system of paying for admission. In his Senior j-ear Anthony found time apart from his other activities to join the French Academy. His work in this organization showed results in his articles in the Stylus concerning Anatole France and others.

Jack ' s career at the Heights has been replete with such deno- tations of trustworthiness and sincerity. None but the tried and proven could hold the popularity he has merited in his four year. Large of stature, it might be said that he is easily distinguishable in any gathering. The story reads: four years ago there came to the cultured environment of Newton a portly youth, blond in hue, and Herculian in loroportions. He came a fervid seeker of ideals — a quiet and well ordered youth. During his first year he gained a position among Cav ' s renowned warriors. In boxing he has proven his prowess. Previous to his coming to B. C, under the pseudonym of Joe O ' Brien, he won the amateur championship of N. E. To the members of that famous class, Joe ' s consternations will arouse hu- morous recollections. For Jack, the termination of four years is the clos- ing of an eventful period. A student, an athlete, and a class officer ; a man of social distinction, a friend, and true classmate, is Jack. As he himself has said on a memorable occasion, ' ' All that has been said has been said so well that nothing remains to be said. [124] 5UB TURRI FRANK JOHN KEANE 95 Aukland St., Dorchester, Mass.

INE would hardly think that such a little fellow as Buzzie could be the storm center of so many disturbances as have been attributed to him during the past four years. He may be little, but — oh, my! He certainly makes his presence felt. Give Buzzie a group of otherwise peaceful fellows, and inside of three minutes he will have them all arguing on different subjects. Then he will quietly withdraw and watch the fun. He seems to take great pleasure in stirring up a little trouble and then watching the outcome of his efforts take shape. If oil going through the Lunch Room you should see several fellows hotly arguing on some philosophical question, then look around and find this little fellow calml} sitting back and enjoying the fun. Buzzie has the reputation of being able to get off more wise-cracks in a given length of time than any man on the Heights. It has been the privilege of those Seniors, who use Dudley Street in the morning, to enjoy to the utmost his witty remarks. Frank chums particularly with Ralph Good, Frank Hourihan, and Frankie Clark. Whenever seen in his company, they are alwaj ' s noted to be in the best of humor, due chiefly to Frank ' s pithy remarks. As a philosopher, Frank has few equals. Just in what class of Philosophers he is, is hard to tell. But the practical application of that study to his life, seems to be quite successful.

In Sophomore he first forcibly struck the public eye when he became Editor-in-Chief of the 1925 Bulletin, which sold like hot cakes at the Soph Class day on Alumni field. Tired of giving orders to the staff, Tom soothed his voice with the plaintive melodies which moaned through Assembly Hall each Tuesday, which is to say he chased after college, or less classically, he joined the Glee Club. He was considered good, which is to say that he be- came a member of the double quartette, and soothed the angry mob with the syrup of his larynx. Being quite capable and efficient in matters of busi- ness administration, he became intrinsically connected with many extra-curriculum activities in the capacities of treasurer or secretary. While in Junior Tom ' s work on the Heights was awarded with the managing editor- ship of that paper. Here again his business ability came to the fore and displayed itself in the way he managed the voungsters on the staff, including the Editor him- self. Tom served the Sub-Turri in the capacity of associate Editor and much of the success of the volume was due to his earnest endeavors.

With- out a doubt if Max con- tinues his studies with such success as has been his in the past, we will not be at all presumptuous in expecting a new book on matters philosophic in the next few years. A broad statement you may say, but one not lacking in the foundations as is evidenced in a review of Max ' s ' ' progress in scholastic philosophy up to the present. A truly great tribute was paid to his genius and his application when amid strong competition he was awarded the gold medal in Junior philosophy. But another view, dear reader, of Max is to be had when we picture him as in Freshman days cavorting over the campus closely followed bj ' tlie some- what rotund and corpulent Mr. Verde. George and Max have been very in- timate friends during their four j -ears, and such friend- ships as theirs is of the lasting variety. In Salem town, Max ' s ability as a teacher has be- come widely known. During the summer months, he spent his time in charge of one of Salem ' s largest play- grounds, teaching youngsters how to use their vacation period to the best advantage. On winter nights Max could be found instructing a class of aliens on the mer- its of American citizenship. Those in charge of Amer- icanization work in his town have more than once com- mended him on the splendid results. With such suc- cess as a founciation, later success in the pedagogical line is practically assured. [129] (j ls ,,, Smj tJ ' n 70, BUB TURRI JOSEPH ALEX.

We enjoyed his readings in Macbeth, and his deep, powerful voice and his clear expression could always be listened to with pleasure. To be sure, he was an orator of no mere ability, and his last two years at the College saw him as a member of the various lecture teams that did such tremendously good work in advocating measures tliat were both Catholic and patriotic. Indeed too much praise cannot be given these young lecturers, for their work required a sacrifice of their study hours and much expenditure of time and attention to subjects outside the scope of the college curricula. Lawrence, in our estimation, is one who has always been a consistent daily worker in his studies. He loves, too, out-of-door sports and thus shows that one can be both a good student and athlete at the same time.

After weathering the storm of Latin and Greek under the careful tutelage of Fathers O ' Brien and Keating he landed in Junior, only to be tossed about again on the Scylla and Charybdis of Philosophy. However, his successful navigation of syllogisms, and the like, enabled him to devote some time to other forms of endeavor. It has been said that these other forms consisted in the pursuit of the terpsichorean art. In this he has become quite proficient. Stories are told of his activities at our long-to-be-re- membered Junior Prom. In the Glee Club his merry voice has been one of the things that kept the rest of the songsters in good humor during the long af- ternoons of practicing. Some have said that Dan intends to enter law school after graduation. It is rumored that he will take up maritime law for the purpose of obtaining cases from ships. How about it, Dan?

Marty comes from that district around Forest Hills which may be termed either Jamaica Plain, Roslindale or West Ro bury. When the great class of 1925 entered Boston College, among that group that had come from our prep school was Marty. It was not long, however, before he made new friends in Freshman and we found a peculiar delight in listening to him argue about the diffei ' cnt phases of the Irish situation. Let it be said that Marty was one of the stauncliest upholders of the A.A.R.I.R. Each fall when Coach Cavanaugh called for candi- dates for the Maroon and Gold football scjuad, ' ' Marty ' ' was one of the first to respond. He thus showed his in- terest in Boston College affairs by making those who held positions on the team, work harder than ever to retain them. Every class activity has had his whole and undivided attention, and he has helped considerably on the various committees. Such spirit on the part of the students has made the class what it is today.

Some will say its geographical situation, others may intimate the Educational atmosphere for which it is renowned, yet there will be found many who will enthusiastically say, Prank McCrehan.

Should you wish to distinguish Prank from a group of other six-footers, merely find out who is doing the talking; and that ' s Frank. Though to all appearances, he is a typical dignified senior, still there lurks beneath that somewhat austere exterior, a jovial spirit and an ever- ready smile indicative of a sense of humor which lacks neither spontaniety or variety. Whatever hopes or aspirations Prank may have enter- tained along baseball lines, certainly they have been realized. It was his reliable right arm that made possi- ble that memorable and glorious triumph over the Purple cohort.

He was chairman of finances on the Junior Prom Committee, working with his bosom friend Bill Marr. Perhaps these positions of trust interfered with his sport activity, but they did not affect his work in class. Here again was he reliable, and as we sum it all up, he certainly did his bit for Boston College. The only thing we ever heard Jack evidence dis- pleasure at was a certain nickname which fell upon him inexplicably. But it did not last long and was not known to a great extent. His friends were legion. His acquaintanceship included, perhaps, more girls than most of us will know in all our existence. But they did not outnumber his male friends by any means. Parties at all times were glad to have Jack with them. During his course, he ran a few dances which were among the outstanding successes of the j ear. He was ever active, ever popular, and a competent business man. Perhaps we can say it best by repeating, literally his friends are legion.

Yet a brass band never blazened his way, nor was he widely proclaimed the success he is. A more congenial chap is hard to find. A cheery Hello ! always precedes Charlie wherever he goes, and a friendly feeling always follows him. During his high school career, Charlie indulged somewhat in basketball and as usual proved his abilitj in that sport. However his desire to devote himself entirely to his studies, kept him from playing the game at college. Had he attempted it there would be little doubt as to his success. Those who, unluckily, are not intimate with Charlie may well regret the fact, for they lose with the knowledge of him, the benefit of the excellent ex- ample he sets.

C. High. When confronted with the question of choosing the college to enter, he was somewhat puzzled as to whether he should follow his brother ' s footsteps to Holy Cross, or get in line at the place over which the eagle spreads his wings. To settle everything Jim used a novel method. Tossing a coin into the air he said, If it stays up, Holy Cross it will be; — but if it comes down B. C. it is. Sure enough, true to the laws of gravity the kopek descended and Boston College received another man. Once at the college Jim made himself right at home. Seeing that his musical skill could be put to use, he joined the band where for four years he helped with the aid of his trusty clarinet, made known the spirited strains of For Boston, and helped to announce to the world that this is Boston ' s day. Despite his good looks James P., as we have said before, is there when it comes to a matter of studies. Throughout his whole course he has maintained a high average and showed clearly that he grasped even the more difficult points with a facility born of a real student. If he exercises as much care in performing his life- work as he did in his studies while at college, we may rest assured that his ability will be recognized by his employer and his steps over the lower rungs of the lad- der will be justly hastened.

In September of our Senior year, we were priveleged to enjoy his acquaintanceship for the first time, and through the year we have often regretted that we were not so priveleged for a longer time. What we have seen of him lias served to give us a memory of the many pleasant cjualities which made up his retiring, modest disposition. His interests have for the most part been confined to scholastic pursuits. If there is any among us who has shown a keener interest in books, we must say he is as yet undiscovered.

However, this is not because of a superior number, but rather on account of the capable representation which each one from that section has made. One of these fortunate individuals is none other than the gentleman above, John, otherwise known as Jack O ' Connor. You might know him by his trim appearance which reminds one of the Oxford, and that handsome head of hair might be envied by many a screen star.

His record in the sciences has always been one of high rat- ing, but true to himself, no one of his classmates has heard him dilating upon it. Jack has always been a student who has applied himself to his work vigor- ously and faithfully ; and then when the course of study were over, has made enjoyable the moments of recrea- tion which we have spent with him.

Chinook is often portrayed in the movies as a wild west center, featuring bandit play and massacres such as Boston is not yet priviledged to witness, yet it can candidly be said of Tom that he has inherited none of these characteristic qualities. Though he has shown himself to be a typical Calvin Coolidge, the fact that he has come so great a distance with the sole intent of Education, is sufficient to prove his sinceritj-. Entering the sub-freshman class, he was forced to work doubly hard, but this seemed to be his specialty, for study came to him inadvertantly and has been his inseperable companion ever since.

The O ' Keefe boy from Salem started traveling the first year in College, and since then has traveled to nearlj every part of this great country. On these journeys he has been accompanied by the other members of that inseparable triumverate composed of Salemites. Their record for distance runs well into thousands of miles. In spite of all this, their attendance at classes has not suffered as they have been seldom known to have missed a lecture. One of the most colorful chapters in their history was their trip to Syracuse in the fall of 1924. They put into actual practice their knowledge of Economics, when they made the trip in De-luxe stjde, and yet, unlike the rest of us, remained immune from the resulting epidemic of financial string- ency. If present plans mature, Europe (and perhaps the Orient) will be listed among the places visited by this gay Lothario. A memory of him and his playing on the senior basketball team, during that stormy session with the Juniors, remains ever clear in our minds. We are con- vinced, that did time permit, other extra-curriculum activities would have found his efforts to have been of the same nature as was his stellar performances on the court, — wholehearted and sincere.

Followed by every eye, the dancer weaves his way thi ' oiigh the song and at the end stops amid thunderous roars of applause. Thus we introduce Eddie O ' Leary, as he has often been introduced on stage. ' ' In Freshman, he was in complete charge of the tickets for the winter show of the Dramatic Club. In Soph when the offerings of the clog and buck and wing dancers began to wane in popularity, Ed came to the front with a brand new presentation, his own creation. That summer found him entertaining at vari- ous hotels and inns. In Junior Ed took the lead as the feature dancer in Patches and later in Wedding Bells and his fame spread far and wide. Rolling reel- ing, gliding, sliding, shambling Ed, he never failed to bring down the house. So we, after giving him a characteristic introduction, now give him a characteristic send off — with applause, but this time with a difl:erent applause — the unanimous appreciation of his frequent entertainment, and the pledging of our lasting friendship.

For this noteworthy under- taking ci ' edit is due in large measure to its captain and most loyal adherent, Edward J. O ' Neil. To enumerate Ed ' s deeds in detail would require space much greater than there is at our disposal ; suffice is it to say that in each and every instance he has made the interests of Boston College, whether academic, social athletic, his own interests and has worked for their betterment. The spirit of unselfishness and sacrifice which we have seen exemplified so often have seemed to imprint upon our minds a memory that time shall not erase. The Junior Prom, a memorable event in the histoi ' y of our class was under the capable management of Ed and his pal, Billie Marr ; as were numerous socials throughout our course.

The personality, magnetic and sociable, which won our hearts as Freshmen, has served to retain them through the years and binds us even yet together with a bond that promises to endure. It was in the Brosnahan Prize Debate that ' ' Mike ' s ' ' oratorical ability was displayed for the first time, and we recall that the impression that he made on that oc- casion was indeed a creditable one. As early as Freshman, Mike ' s literary contribu- tions graced the pages of the Stylus, on which publica- tion his literary leanings gained for him the position of Associate Editor. Thus briefly, perhaps inadequately, is sketched the career of this Green Mountaineer, but the crowning glory of it came, as you will note, when he applied his master hand to produce the splendid Sports section in this issue of the Snh Turri.

All Rockland and neighboring vil- lages are talking about it. Ray ' s plans for the future are at present unknown to us. We feel sure, however, that those qualities which have served to imprint upon our minds a memory of him, which time shall not erase, shall serve in his post-collegiate career to win, as he did in college, the hearts of all that he did angle for.

Be that as it may, whether he followed the crowd or followed the swallow, or followed his own good judgment, at any rate he arrived here and has shown himself to be a character which we analyzed at the beginning of Freshman as admirable. The Boston College football team has been fortunate in its possession of excellent material which together with the best of coaching, has earned the right to its claim to fame. But as in every large organization much of the work so necessary to the general success is carried on unno- tfced. The hero of this tale for three years served as assistant manager of the football team, where he per- formed yoeman service and for which service he deserves great praise. The Brosnahan Debating Society was the scene of bustling activity on the day on which Henry Scully was to orate.

On his graduation from the High School, Stan continued his education at the College, and no other member of his class came to Newton with a better reputation for scholarship, athletic ability and upright character. What else is to be sought for in a student? No doubt, one would think that Stan on such merits would seek high honors and prominence, but quite the contrarj , he has been observed as one of those quiet fellows who do not in the least enjoy praise and compliments. There was something in his voice that made you grasp the sincerity and kindness of his nature. You admired him much for his retiring manner, but ' all the more so for his keen and brilliant intellect. His is the type of character that cannot fail in any endeavor. May he enjoy so miteh good favor out in the world as he has here at the College. 5UB TURRI CHARLES MICHAEL SHEA 56 Windsor Rd., Medford, Mass. Boston College High School. Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4.

Wanderlust seems to be written on and around him. Four different abodes of culture have felt the warm glow of his jovial smile within the last six years. First, he tipped his hat to Somerville High, then warbled the Alma Mater of St. Joseph ' s, out by the Windy City. 1921 found him on the honor roll of Special Latin class at B. C. High, and his magnetic personality has helped the last four years under the towers to seem like one fleeting moment for all of us. He has also graced three fair cities during his collegiate years — Somer- ville, Dedliam and Medford. Acclimation is his highlight ; a true test of this fact is his zealous devotion to all his Alma Maters and communities. Different is another synonj m for Charlie, for he i s a man of many moods, and each and everj mood endears him more and more to the hearts of all of us. Many of his contributions to our famous magazine the Stylus prove him to be a budding stylus himself. With his per- severing qualities we just laiow that Charlie ' s future wanderings will be along the roads of success. One thing we are all conscious of as we approach the part- ing of the ways, that we are separated from the charm- ing companionship of one we never will forget. i ¥. cjfcB i : 5UB TURRI WILLIAM HENRY SHERRY 79 Winn Street, Woburn, Mass.

His quiet forcefulness alwaj- ' s succeeds in obtaining a seat on the Lake Street Limited, and in entering class when the train fails to stoj) at Woburn. His integrity was testified to when his fellow citizens elected him unani- mously Treasurer of the B. C. Club of Woburn. One of Bill ' s characteristics which no amount of calamity can subdue is an ever-present genialty, tinged with the dignity that always accompanies truth. This dignified geniality, producing smiling speech has won for Bill the respect and admiration of his cla.ssmates who realize that such qualities and characteristics as ' Bill evidences, calm the waves of life and promise a happy and successful voyage.

Few things can arouse energy in this hallowed town, except the mention of the name of any native son, and perhaps nothing can arouse greater flurry than the name of Tom Silvia. Various are the characteristics of dauntless Tom — a broad, sunny smile, an attractive necktie, and a gregarious instinct to be among the crowd. More- over, it is said, he is accustomed to gather about him near a remote section of the lunch-room counter, a rabid, mysterious looking congregation, from whence are emitted weird concepts of the less tangible faculties of man, voiced in logical undeniable form. CTreat is the joy of Cohasset aborig- inals to have nurtured so shining a j ' outh. But at home, it is said, he descends from the high altitude of intellectus profundus and indulges in more menial occupation for the betterment of his phy- sical beauty. Very sj ' stematic is Tom. When not suffering from injury, he bounces a basketball in the lo- cal gymnasium. Tom is well known in the department stores of Boston, being a frequenter there for the purpose of ob- serving sales methods and people. He has formed in the college a bevy of friends, particularly, the school afore- mentioned, of practical psychologists. One regret, on the closing day, shall be separation from Tom, his mirth and friendship. Oi hfi,t zi J d ' M ' I7jfi!0 y. GERARD HANLEY SLATTERY 866 Huntington Ave., Koxbury, Mass.

He was ever a smiling, happy fellow, eager to be friends with you, and ever ready to enjoy whatever came up in our activities. Jerry could imitate anybody. He would go to the theatre and upon leaving could characterize any part in the performance. His list of jokes were endless, and perhaps it was his experience as an actor that gave him him likeable personality. He was a cheer-leader for two years. And it was to the regret of everyone that he gave up this office in Senior, but it was through no fault of his ; it was merely another recognition due him, which never arrived. Jerry, we want you to know that we place your fame as an asset to our class. The plaudits of your col- lege audiences have died down, the honors given to others are forgotten, but there is deep in the hearts of each of us, your classmates, a I ' egard, a feeling, a sincere friendship for you.

George Paul Smith, commonly recognized and saluted as ' ' Wiggey ' ' Smith, should, in all justice, have been christened George B. with a huge B. standing for Business. Wiggey makes Henry Ford and old John D. look like a couple of mathematical paupers or financial beggars when it comes to a question of high finance. In fact George has been so often considered as the -star in the business world of our college, that the Student Council is seriously contemplating awarding him a Varsity B. Wiggey ' s qualifications are not limited to mere pecuniary things. When anyone desires to be wafted away on high by the soothing strains of some re- frain, Wiggey will do all in his power to satisfy that yearning by banging on a pair of cymbals which the bandmaster has entrusted to his care for the past four years. We are not a bit surprised at Wiggey ' s abilities. As crew manager for the so-called ' ' Students Gold Mine, the Pic , George was able to produce enough written sales contracts to satisfy his wants for some time to come. Just look at the amiable gentleman and if you have a spare moment gaze on the car that Wiggey sports. You can ' t convince George B that a Case is not a great thing to have at times. We leave it to you to figure out what the Case is. In Aunt Kitty of Junior Week fame, George por- trayed the part of Uncle Jeb, the portly business man, in true Thespian fashion. To the genius of the mercenary world, the class owes a vote of thanks, for George brought forth from his fertile mind more ways of separating hard-earned and much-fingered dimes from his fellow students than any of the famous bubble artists who ever sold a gold-brick. Au revoir, Wiggey. [197] BUB TURRI HARRY FRANCIS SMITH 6 Homer St., Newport, R. I. St. Joseph ' s Higli School. Holy Cross College 1, 2. Sodality 3, 4. Orchestra 3.

Those of us who knew him more intimatelj have alwaj ' s considered Harr.y a real good scout. The boys who were accustomed to leave right after class always found Harry waiting with his car to give them a lift down the line. Our only regret is that we have not been favored with his company more around the college in the differ- ent activities. As a student, Harry has always been among the more serious. But he was never too serious to crack a joke or two in the lunch room. Harry, as we have said before, is already in business.

Ed- mund moved with the ease and grace through the most select circles of the elite Dorchester society. His melodious voice, accompanied by serious smile, has forced more than one to exclaim, Be yourself, Eddie. From the above one might well infer that Eddie has not allowed any grass to grow under his feet, nor do the above activities embrace all of his accomplishments. The following ap- pears for the first time in print, namely, that Ed Spang, he of the happy smile, pleasing voice, and wide- spread popularit} , has at last become an addict of cross- country billiards, which has been also known as golf.

Chelsea Joe is the class of 1925 ' s contribution to the Sullivan archives. In his first two years at the college Joe divided his efforts between foot- ball, baseball and track. The excess of veteran material convinced Joe that he should devote his entire time to track and his almost instantaneous success as a sprinter was phenomenal. Two years ago he was struggling for recognition and as we now give him to the world he is known as one of the foremost of America ' s sprinters. The title of New England Amateur Athletic Association 300 yard Champion is only one of the few which ' ' Joe ' ' can lay claim to. After putting away the spikes for the day, Joe would dash back to Chelsea and impart a little of his knowledge of Mathematics to the struggling youths in his night school class. Is it any wonder that we are i roud of Joe ' s ac- complishments ; a student in the morning, an athlete for the afternoon, and a professor by night.

Jim was in everything, and more than in it. He was interested in everj ' thing he did; ever on the alert for improvements in student activities. The societies, boasting his membership, knew him as a leader ; a loyal and ardent supporter of any and every activity. Jim got everything there was out of his college days. As a debator, poet, and an active student, he was the nearest thing to a human dynamo that we have seen. It will always be a puzzle to us how Jim took care of all his affairs. After graduation, a day ' s work should seem as chilcis play to this chap. If we were to pick his outstanding talent, we should select as his forte, the writing of verse. His facile pen threaded out many gems of thought, several of which brought out new color in our own college life. As a newspaper correspondent, his work was confined to prose, but many times his copy graced the front page of the Boston American — which is merelj ' another proof of versatile ability. We could go on listening to Jim ' s work, but we shall let his activity record speak for itself. The class of 1925 owes a great deal of its fame to him. He was a leader in everj sense of the word, and one of the most capable and loyal students Boston College ever had. 1925 thanks you Jim ; B. C. thanks you too.

When these si)orts were well in the background; when the balmy Spring days beckoned us forth to the open spaces, Willie could be found pursuing the little white agate on the Franklin Park course.

Rockland, for example, is hardly a fair-sized township but cer- tainly Bill Vargus, who hails from there is more than a fair-sized man. He is in fact one of Boston College ' s biggest. Professor Gillis reports that while summering at Scituate last year he attended a ball game in which, as it happened, Bill occupied the mound. Well, for weeks after that event all the small Scituate gamins were earnestly and enthusiastically talking Vargus and imitat- ing Vargits, so genuinely had he impressed them.

On Bill ' s ap- pearance we are going to hazard the guess that in after years he will be a successful bond salesman, or maybe a great real estate magnate, — or a big lawyer possibly.

How well we remember those days of majors, minors, ob- jections, refutations, subsumptions, and distinctions ; and with what apparent ease did the Weston lad solve the most intricate tangles ! In his senior year, this member of the Walsh clan became the literary edi- -tor of the college weekly, and in that capacity wrote and attracted much atten- tion with his reviews of contem]:)orary prose. The Sub Turri has been aided considerably by Mr. Walsh during the long afternoons when he would pound away at the typewriter. In class hardly a day went by when he was not called ui.)on to solve some olDJection. An enumeration of Jim ' s solutions of the difficulties proposed by Kant, Hegel and Schopenhauer, would indeed prove interesting, but such enumeration, for lack of space, we must forego. Nor did Philosophic pursuits profit to the utter ex- clusion of other extra-curriculum activities. The Li- brary, always an important factor in student life, was favored by the services of Jim as custodian. It has been said that the best prophet of the future is the success of the past. Certainly, the success which has attended Jim Walsh ' s efforts during college vears, augers well for the future. TURRI JOSEPH MICHAEL WALSH 79 Berkeley St., Lawrence, Mass. Lawrence High School.

KXT to his interest in affairs of the classroom Bert Ward ' s ever growing enthu- siasm for music occupies the most prominent place in lais career. Bert is a native of Canton and brings with liim in his daily joui-ney to the Heights the spirit of that bustling community. As a scholar Bert has always been known to be successful and his ready apprehension of the declamations of Cicero and Demosthenes together with his able refutation of the materialistic viewi)oint of philosophy, have been looked upon with admiration during eacli of his successive four years at the Heights. But perhaps far greater than his intellectual prowess in the classroom is Bert ' s enviable knowledge of one of the noblest of arts. Just as all success- ful institutions must rest iipon a foundation as strong as possible, so has the steady beat of Berfs drum been the keynote to the glorious martial strains of the Boston College band. Endowed with an ambitious spirit and an earnest will to become successful in the musical world, Bert may be found furnishing music on many occasions to the devotee ' s of terpischore around Greater Boston. Bert has always been a staunch supporter of B.

He has served three years in Varsity football, two in Varsity baseball and his work has always won space in the headlines. Plus all this, Hap has been a very notable figure on the campus. When you come to think of it, it really is a wonderful thing and a wonder- ful jxperience to be a master of any art, to be able to command the enthusiasm of large groups of people and, by the sheer excellence of one ' s virtuosity, sway the emotions of vast audiences. To be able to do one thing, what it may be, far better than others can do it, so that you are a specialist in your line, is of the esence of heroism, as it is of success. To Hap we pav this tribute.

Here are some of the excesses he has committed in the course of his dazzling collegiate career. While still a freshman he managed to secure and has held ever since, a place on the Varsity track and cross-country teams. In 1922 he walked away with the Eastern Inter- collegiate one-mile championship and smashed the previous record into particles. In the same year he grabbed the N. M. CI. in the half-mile and mile champion- ships, and repeated this performance the following year. He was one of the brilliant relay quartette who established a new World ' s Record at the Penn Games in 1924. Space prevents us from enumerating a full litany of his wonder- ful achievements. But apart from his athletic prowess, what of the man himself? Perhaps you may get the best idea of that if you understand his principal hobby. Louie is a student of boy-life. As a boy scout leader and pros- pective physical training director, he has already taken the first steps on the road to a life of valuable public service in an educational field.

Woodley TURRI [218] Class History Freshman The fair name of Boston College had been broadcasted far over the hind by her rapid accumulation of sensational victories in every branch of endeavor. It is of little wonder, then, that when we enrolled as Freshmen, our numbers exceded bj far those of preceding years. Not only in numbers did we excel, but in every college activity from football to the glee club. The formalities that surround the beginning of a college career were soon over and we settled right down to prove wortli. Under the direction of Fr. Stanton S. J. we made our first college retreat. It was held in the Church of the Immaculate Conception, beginning on October 18th and finishing with Communion in abody on the 21st of that month. Oiir football team depended on many ' 25 men that Fall, such as Chuck Darling, Diker Doyle, Joe Ko.slowski, and Elbery. Shortly before the Christmas Vacation ' ' A Day, Lost ' ' was presented in the High School Hall, starring such members of our class as Jerry Slattery, Goose Reilly, Bill O ' Brien, Vic Carr and Neil ' Callahan. When the ballots were counted at our first class meeting it was found that we had chosen Dyker Doyle as our leader, with Jack Keahaue as Vice- President, and Art Duffly as Treasurer. Dan Lehan, and later Goose Reilly represented us at the A. A. meetings. This combination worked well stimulating Class spirit throughout the entire year. The visit of Marshal Foche, the successful navigation of the mid-years and finals, the annual college musical in Jordan Hall, the Easter vacation and the Freshman time in Gardner Hall are but few of the happy memories of our first year together. — Sophomore — It was a well organized class that returned in the Fall of 1922, and we were ready and eager to undertake the task that lay before us. Latin, Greek and Chemistr.y, were still with us, but under the careful guidance of our professors their terrifying aspects slowly disappeared. Goose Reilly was chosen as President at the annual elections. Jack Keahane was retained as Vice-President, with John Corcoran as Secretary, and Sonney Foley as our financier. On October 26th the annual college retreat, conducted by Fr. Frank J. Smith, S. J. came to a close. The effect of this retreat could be easily dis- eernable in the way the boys went about their studies after the close of the triduum. 5UB The annual Oratorical Contest was won by a member of our class, George Woodly. This is the first time in many years that any class has been so honored by adding to its list of accomplishments, the winning of the Oratoricals in Sophomore. A very successful season of football ended with a 17-13 victory over Holy- Cross. It was in this game that our Chuck came into his own, resulting in his election as Captain for our Junior Year. February 13th, 1923 marked that great celebration after passing through the treatcherous mid-years. It was the famous Saint Valentine ' s party held in Gardner Hall, Brookline. The second term flew by with Easter and the Vacation. Spring was with us once more. On May 25th we had our annual class day frolic and get-together smoker in combination with a reception to the University of Pennsylvania base- ball team, and before we knew it we were in the middle of the finals, and just as quick again we were through. — Junior — Returning as Juniors with the same class officers as in Sophomore, we began immediately ' to exhibit the old pep and spirit which characterized our class in the previous two years. A Junior-Senior social was first in order taking place on November 3rd right in the heart of the football season. Yes, we de- feated Holy Cross that year too, 16-7. The first Home-Night of the year was held November 16th. and it was at this smoker that the first edition of our class publication, the ■ Junior Eagle, made its first appearance. Preparations for Junioi ' Week were then undertalvcn with Chuck Darling as chairman of the general committee. Junior Week began as the mid-years faded into history. The great smoker in the Assembly Hall started off the week vs ' ith a bang, followed by the presentation of the prize play Aunt Kitty and Patches. Aunt Kitty was written by Frank Hynes of our class, while Patches was produced by Art Mathews. Jerry Slattery starred in both. The Junior-Senior debate followed and Sodality exercises were held on Thursday. And then — the Prom at the Hotel Somerset. Very shortly after the close of Junior Week we were honored Ijy the visit of Sir Bertram Windle. A most unhappy class we were when we heard of the death of Fr. Crowley S. J. — one of our own professors and Counselor to the students, and to whose memory we dedicate this book. We were particularly fortunate, however in receiving as his successor the Rev. Fr. Sullivan S. J. who has for a long time been loved and admired by the students. [220] The Radio Club put in every active year with Tom O ' Hanloii and Ray McCarthy representing our class. — Senior — September 1924 found us back once more at college to pursue the Ratio Studiorum which was to lead us finally to our goal of graduation and a degree. After a brief period required to accustom ourselves to our new position as Seniors we began with a will to make the most of our last year at college. The first respite which we took from our studies was in the middle of October when the Boston Rooters 1000 strong journed west-ward to Syracuse. One thing which this trip indicated was that the B. C. spirit is still alive and active. Playing their last game for B. C. the Senior members of the team did their utmost to uphold the athletic prestiege of Boston College. The members of the team who have played their last game for us are Darling, Doyle, Kozlow- sky, Elbery, Keahane, Ward, Foley, and Corcoran. The Class banciuet held on February 17. A most enjoyable time and one marked by goodfellow-ship was staged at the Riverbank Court Hotel. After successfully passing through the period of the mid-years we began the final term. The events which marked the second semester were the Fulton Prize Debate, the Musical Clubs Concert March 22 at Jordan Hall, and the vari- ous athletic triumphs. The culmination of our college daj ' s was fittingly observed by Commence- ment taking place June 15 to 22. This memorable event like the years which preceded it was one which shall ever be among our most cherished memories. [221] 5UB TURRI Boston College Athletic Association 1924-1925 President William J.

ROCK Manager An Athletic Review FOOTBALL Football has always been the leading sport at Boston College, but since the entrance of the class of 1925, it has become a major sport in more ways than one. In the short space of four years, a following of heretofore indifferent rooters has been devel- oped until now each game finds Braves Field rocking with the cheers of the great throngs that each week assemble to watch the Eagle elevens pitted against the leading teams of the country. Many come to see some greatly heralded team pluck the Eagle, and these are inevitably disappointed, for the Cavanaugh coached teams have acquired the habit of being returned the winner. The majority of the fans come, how- ever, to see the Eagle supreme in a new triumph and these are seldom frustrated in their hopes. Boston College has made its mark in the football world and no little credit for this must be given to the class of 1925. Her representatives have been instru- mental in carrying the Maroon and Gold to victory both at home and abroad. They have born more than their share of the conflict with all comers from the South, East, and West, and whenever the word had been sent forth from Braves Pield, as it is always sent forth, Boston wins again, another word has always been linked with it — Darling stars, Kozlowsky stars and so on down the list of ' 25 men. With all due modesty, we shudder to think of what the history of Boston College would have been during these last eventful four years if it were not for the quota of ' 25 men in the ranks of her elevens. We shudder to think of the Boston College backfields without the incomparable Chuck Darling; the crashing Plaster Ward, and all the others; of the Boston College line without its fighting center, Dyker Doyle; its valient tackle. Captain Joe Kozlowsky, and Kewpie Elberry, and Jack Keahane. Surely the class of 1925 has accomplished much toward placing the Eagle eleveiis in the limelight. With the entrance of the class of ' 25 came the football season of 1921. That another chami)ionship team was in the mould at Boston College was the universal sentiment of football experts and the plan of all that held the interests of old B. C. at heart ; but the best of expert opinion miscarries and the best of plans are upset, and so it was that with the actual beginning of the season came the disastrous news that the ranks of the champions of the previous year had been seriously crippled by graduation, transfers and other causes. It was up to ' 25 to come through with .sufficient material for the making of a new machine. The championship was gone but another typical fighting team was produced. The season began with easy victories over Providence and B. U. and then B. C. moved south to battle the Southern champions, Baylor University. With the stars that had whipped Yale gone and with the untried representatives of 25 in her ranks, the Maroon and Gold rose to the occasion and were returned [231] BUB TURRI ■ If III 1 « • • aniottxKaiiaiaiamtai « w « aam , ... j«. ' «u, «i. 2 s ;i «« ......« .««  , ta  .«j« ' - ' ' ■ ' . the victors by the score of 23 to 7. How costly that victory was to be! Boston was soon to discover it had cost the services of its greatest threat, Chuck Darl- ing of ' 25. Wearied by the long trip to the far-distant South, and crippled by the loss of their great scoring threat, the Eagles in their next start against Detroit, tasted defeat for the first time in two j ears. Fordham was then tied, and Marietta buried under an avalanche of Eagle scores. Barely nosed out by the Blue and Grey of Georgetown, the Eagles lost their stride and disaster overwhelmed them in the form of a 41-0 Holy Cross victorjr. Throughout the season, the men of ' 25 had been giving their best, but difficulties, injuries and other none too pleasant features combined to thwart their endeavors to keep the championship on the Heights. Another year was to follow, however, and B. C. began to prepare for the next season, when green men would be experienced and a machine would begin to function. ' 25 waited for a chance to show the world that they could make good on the gridiron and carry, if necessary, the burden of the Eagle football foi ' tunes upon their shoulders. The season of 1922 opened with victories over Boston University and Fordham, in which Darling, setting out to make up for lost time, played spec- tacularly. Then came the journey to the West to meet Detroit, who, after a see- saw battle, succeeded, in spite of the clever backtield play of Darling and the superb work of Keahane and Kozlowsky in the line, in turning back the in- SUB TURRI vaders by the score of 10 to 8. The team returned to Boston to meet the champion Lafayette eleven and here agahi Darling ' s punting and open field running and the work of Doyle and Elberry in the line was useless against the powerful onslaught of the Pennsylvania champs. Weakened by the loss of Kozlowsky, the team was on the small end of a 10 to score. Canisius and then Georgetown were brushed aside and then revenge against Holy Cross in the final game of the series for the Eastern Catholic Champion- ship. And what a game that was, with Darling and Doyle sharing the lime- light with Kozlowsky, whose all-round playing was the big feature of the game. Handicapped by injuries, Joe, with the courage of a ' 25 man, entered the fray and his indomitable spirit carried him through to a great personal triumph. BUB TURRI Staunch on the defense, even better on the offense, Joe climaxed his glorious day by booting three points into the Eagle total with a magnificent dropkick from the thirty-seven yard line. Coach Cavanaugh ' s warriors raised the curtain on the 1923 season with a victory over Providence in which Darling ran rampant and Ward, the battering plasterer, showed conclusively that he could gain yardage whenever called upon. The Fordham game saw Captain Darling again tearing off runs at random, and Doyle and Elbery starring in the line. On the following week-end a heavy and powerful Marquette team came out of the West, to give battle to the fast travel- ing Eagles. A perfect season ' s record was marred by their single point margin over Captain Darling ' s eleven, but not before the Eagles had outplayed them in every department of the game. Georgetown met with a band of warriors determined to stage a comeback, and were sent back to the south under a 21 to defeat. Joe Kozlowsky, in spite of his shattered shoulders, played a stellar defensive and offensive game, while Darling ' s long spirals kept the Eagle goal line free from danger. Bo McMillan ' s Centenary team. Villa Nova, and Vermont were easily overcome. And then, the Holy Cross game in which the Eagles came from behind, tied and passed the Purple, to defeat them 16 to 7. In this grid classic, as throughout the entire season, the men from ' 25 starred. Darling and Kozlowsky ' s work standing out in bold relief. The Eagles pried the lid off the 1924 season with an overwhelming defeat of Providence. Ward crossed the goal line twice for his contribution to a 47 to score. Against Fordham, a week later, the Cavanaugh eleven outplayed, outrushed, and outkicked their Gotham rivals, allowing them but a few short gains. Ward starred on the offensive and Kozlowskj and Doyle excelled on the defensive, while Darling ' s punting featured, as usual. The jaunt to Syracuse came next in the Eagle program. Here despite the defensive skill of Doyle and Captain Kozlowsky and the marvelous exhibition of kicking by Boston ' s own Chuck, the Eagle ' s wings were clipped to the tune of 10 to 0. Undaunted by this defeat, however, the Maroon and Gold warriors set out to show the world that it was all a mistake by decisivelj defeating Al- legheney, and then running rough shod over the Haskell Indians and Marquette. In the two later games, the Eagles disclosed for the first time that they were potentialljr the greatest scoring machine in the East. Touchdown after touch- down was scored by Ward and Darling, while the Eagle goal line was well taken care of bj ' the efforts of Doyle and Kozlowsky. Losing its stride against the Centenary, the Eagles quickly regained it against Vermont, whom they buried under a 33 to 7 score. Misfortune befell the Eagle camp the following week at the hands of Holy Cross. The valient efforts of Darling, Doyle, Elbery and last, but not least, Kozlowsky, were of no avail before an inspired Purple offense. The men of ' 25 were wearing their last uniform for the Maroon and Gold, and, as befit their heritage, gave their all in striving for greater glorv for old B. C. and the class of 1925. ' [2351 BUB CAPTAIN JOE KOZLOWSKY One of the greatest linemen that has ever l)cen enrolled at the Heights, ' ' Joe ' ' is famed the length and breadth of the land for his spec- tacular play. Although handicapped by shat- tered shouldei ' s throughout his entire college course, he has not only held his position against all comers, but with such distinction that he has frequently been mentioned for all Amej-i- can honors. Our hats are off to ' ' Koz, ' ' the samest man B. C. has ever known. CHUCK DARLING Boston ' s own Chuck Darling, a football player, greater than whom no gathering ever witnessed. Whether it be his magnificent punts soaring over sixty yards of white striped turf; or his twisting and turning the length of the field for a touchdown; or his forward passes hurled for long gains, never is a crowd so thrilled as when Chuck goes into action for Boston. We join in the toast, To the honor and pride of Boston College, always lo us a blue-eyed, fair-haired Darling. [236] JOHNNY CORCORAN For hitting the line, we ' ve never seen this son of Bos- ton ' s equal. A streak of humanity, a crash, a moment ' s hesitation and ' ' Johnny ' ' Corcoran was loose. Bobbed of a brilliant football career by an unfortunate injury, ' ' Johnny ' s ' ' early successes on the gridiron will long live in the memory of all followers of Eagle fortunes in the realm of sports. DYKER DOYLE Who was the man that Major Ca ' anaugh turned to in a moment of crisis? Who was the man who turned the tide of victory to the Heights when Purple backs were running wild in ' 23? No other than the gentleman named above, ' ' Dyker ' ' Doyle, the man who filled the shoes of the famous Heaphy so well that B. C. men be- gan to forget — no, not just that, but anyway, so well that the Major himself c alled him one of his greatest linemen. KEWPIE ELBERY ' ' Kewpie ' ' is one of the mainstays of the Eagle ' s line. His fighting, ]iever-say-die spirit has been respon- sible for more than one victory for the Maroon and Gold. Many a crashing back has been stopped by his powerful defensive charge and many a loose ball has been re- covered by his ever awake arms, to be turned into the winning touchdown for Boston. t itsg iHin i ■ PH ' , : m g i |jB ' ; 3 H ' iS i r B I Jm m ' . 9 « S  gm R SONNY FOLEY Though small in stature, ' ' Sonny ' ' more than made up ftir this seeming deficiency by his indomitable spirit on the gridiron. He is one college ball player whose facil- ity in gathering in the ' ' pops ' ' has stood him in good stead on the football field. As a receiver of forward passes, Sonny has few superiors, his nimble fingers snatching the aerial groundgainers from the most dis- couraging positions. JACK KBAHANE When we think of ' ' Jack as a football player, we like to think of the day of the dedication of the Detroit Memorial Stadium. The game he played at tackle that day was a marvel to watch. Only a slip by the referee robbed ' ' Jack ' ' of glory of scoring the touchdown that would have meant victory for the Eagles. Jack ' s ef- forts that day will not soo n be forgotten by ' 25. STEVE PATTEN And here is Steve himself, the boy with the Brick- ley toe. Steve it was who turned the tide of victory Boston ' s way by the three pointer from the side line at Baylor, which the Bears will remember for quite a few seasons. Nor is ' ' Steve ' ' just a dropkicker. His etT;cient generalship as the pilot for Eagle elevens has been far above the ordinary.

To see the giant Eagle half shaking off would-be tacklers was something worth watching. ■CA tell;-; a auuD one [240] [2+1] TURRI [242] TURRI [246] 5UB TURRI JOHN J. HOPKINS, Mauager they occupy a high An Athletic Review BASEBALL A non-partisan observer, reviewing the athlet- ic history of the class of 1925, would be led to be- lieve that it entered Boston College with the sole resolve of elevating B. C. baseball fortunes out of the depths of oblivion. Previous to the entrance of the class of 25, the noble achievements of the Maroon and Gold war- riors on the gridiron, ice and cinders resulted in victories on the diamond being regarded as spirit pictures of Conan Doyle vintage. Since then, however, such a change has taken place that a critical survey of the records of Eagle ball teams, discloses that their success on the diamond has been such, that as the equal of the best in collegiate circles place in the baseball hall of fame. When in the spring of 1922, the new mentor, Olaf Hendrickson of Red Sox fame, issued his first call for candidates, ' 25 responded with a flock of young ball players who were destined to make baseball history for Boston. Quickly taking for themselves eight positions on the nine, Gus Whelan, Sonny Foley, Ed Phillips, Cheese McCrehan, Bill Varg-us, Steve Patten, Chuck Darling and Tom Phillips became the means of putting B: C. in the running for the intercollegiate championship for the first time in her history. Yale, Princeton, and the Army fell before the onslaught of their war clubs ; opposing batting orders wilted before the slants of Patten, Vargus and McCre- han; scribes were universal in predicting that this team woulcl go far on the diamond. The season of 1923 had scarcely begun when it was evident that it was to be a banner one. The long desired championship loomed on the horizon, largely through the efforts of the ' 25 men. Starting in with a crash, the boys from the Heights soon began to register win after win until a new intercollegiate record of twenty-two successive victor- ies was established, victories over the strongest nines in the East and South being chalked up with seeming ease. Slugging their way to prominence as the hitting wonders , with Prince- ton, Yale and Lafayette among their thirty victims, the Eagles defeated the Holy Cross ball-tossers before the largest gathering ever to witness a college baseball game. In that memorable victory over the Purple, the class of ' 25 was supreme. With Frank McCrehan pitching masterly ball, and Ed Phillips performing behind the plate like a iDig-leaguer ; with Whelan, ex-25 covering first as only Gus can, and Sonny Foley and Bill Cronin ex-25, accomplishing won- ders at short and third; with Chuck Darling and Tom Phillips doing their share of spectacular work in the outer gardens, that June day at ' ' Braves ' was turned into a class of ' 25 picnic. The names of two ' 25 men will go down in the history of Boston College as diamond immortals, Frank jMcCrehan, who.se twirling held Holy Cross help- less, and Tommy Phillips, who with three on, lined the offering of Ownie Carroll to the flag pole. TURRI .l (.1 M I K J ' W IlLI. X Thirty victories with but three defeats was the record upon which the Eagles based their claim to the intercollegiate champion- ship for 1923. Another banner j-ear was chalked up in 1924 with a record of twenty victories in twenty-f ive games played. Victories over Princeton, West Point and Georgetown were soothing antidotes for defeats at the hands of Yale and Holy Cross. The names of McCrehan, Patten, Phil- li])s, Ward, Foley, Darling, Brosnan, Fin- negan and Vargus, all ' 25 men, were promi- nent in the box scores, with McCrehan leading the college twirlers and Ward top- l)ing the list of college sluggers with an average of nearly 400. And now the members of the varsity baseball team from the class of 1925 are entering upon their final lap of athletic endeavor for the honor of old B. C. Their entry was the signal for the uplifting of America ' s grand old game at the Heights. Through their efforts, there has been ac- quired, for Boston, a record on the diamond that any college might be proud of, and we can but prophesy for them a clima:x; befitting their efforts. What fate has in stoi ' c for the Eagles this spring is still a myth, but with such remarkable talent, and their past efforts as a criterion of what is to come, we cannot but look into the season ahead with unbound enthusiasm and optimism, and as an after thought, a tear or two for our friends in Worcester. With Coach Jack Slattery at the helm, and Frank McCrehan, Sonny Foley, Huck Finnegan, Jack Brosnan, Hap Ward, Chuck Darling, Captain Gus Whelan, ex25, and Bill Cronin, ex25, making merry for ' 25, the intercollegiate baseball crown should be firmly rested on the Heights by June. A fair criterion of the worth of the Eagle ball-tossers is seen in the attention which the critics and big league scouts have been paying the boys from the Heights. Since the advent of the class of 1925 to B. C, Kelly, the midget pitcher of speed ball fame, Harry MuUowney, who tosses them up from his portside, and Cheese McCrehan, ' 25 ' s jovial slow ball artist have been picked by the boys in the know as worthy of Ail-American honors; Ed Phillips, ex-25, whose sterling work behind the bat attracted the attention of multiple league scouts, has been selected by the experts as the leading college catcher. Captain Gus Whelan, ex-25 and Bill Cronin, ex-25, have been adjudged big league material and selected for the mythical All American team. In the outer garden, Frank Wilson and Chuck Darling have been the almost unanimous choice of the Walter Camp ' s of baseball. BUB TURRI JACK BROSNAN Coming out for the team late, Jack quickly made an impression as a second sacker. Although not a flashy player, Jack has the happy faculty of coming- through at the critical time both in the field and at the plate. ' ' Jack ' ' can mix non-ehalance and consistency with the aptitude of a big leaguer. CHUCK DARLING And now, Gentlemen, the best centerfielder the Heights has ever had the good fortune to harbour, is Chuck Darling. Possessor of the only perfect fielding average Alumni Field has ever produced; slugger extraordinary and general all-round baseball star, ' ' Chuck ' ' is the most sought after leaguer on the Heights. ' ' HUCK ' ' FINNEGAN If there is a ball player in this land of ours with more pep than ' ' Huck ' ' , we haven ' t seen him. When it comes to putting the old fight into a team, ' ' Huck ' ' certainly is ' ' there . Huck ' ' can suit his actions to his words, as every Eagle fan who has seen him perform around the pivot sack, will testify. [249] TURRI FKA ' K McCEEHAX Frank and Ms slow ball are SOME famous in B.

Success which might have been his at the Heights should stand him in good stead in the league. COLLEGE BUB m% TURRI TOM B.

The passing years have seen the Eagle ban- ner raised in triumjih at the New England and Eastern Intercollegiate Chamijionships. At the Penn Relays and the Intercollegiates, Eagle teams have been prominent. Records, wox ' ld and otherwise, have meant little or nothing to the fast stepping boys from the Heights. Boston College has become famous on the track and principally because of our All American track coach, Jack Ryder, and the men from ' 25. For years the B one mile relay championship rested on the Heights through the efforts of the inimitable Jake Driscoll and Kirley and Dillon of ' 25. Then in Sophomore, the all star ' 25 team of half milers, Kirley, Welch, Pinnegan, and Mahoney won the intercollegiate indoor title for the two mile event. The following j ' ear Welch and Mahoney assisted by the newcomers Cav- anaugli and McKillop shattered the two mile relay record and became the relay sensations of the world. Deprived of this title by the Georgetown record break- ers, the Eagles in 1925 sought other worlds to conquer, with the result that the long standing 2400 yard relay record was smashed by the fleetfooted B. C. flyers, Dillon of ' 25, McKillop, Daley and McCliiskey. The same .season saw the intercollegiate two mile medley relay championship brought to the Heights by the speeding Dillon and Welch of ' 25, McKillop and Cavanaugh. Nor has the tale of Boston College fame on the cinders been one entirelj ' composed of relay championships, for in addition to the New England and East- ern Intercollegiates which have invariably resulted in Eagle field days, the B. C. tracksters have overcome Holy Cross for four successive years. The I. C. A. A. A. A. ' s have seen the Maroon and Gold athletes growing in power with each new season, until now they are in a position to challenge the big fellows for team championships. Since Jake Driscoll ' s brilliant quarter on the Stadium track Eagle flyers have taken for themselves a very prom- inent place in the final reckoning, and in this they have been aided by the efforts of Sullivan, Plahive and Lermond of ' 25. Each set of games in the long indoor and outdoor campaigns finds listed among its star performers individuals wearing the B for Boston. Track fans in New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Baltimore, and Boston have become accustomed to the streak of Maroon and Gold among the winners. Not soon will tliej- forget the feats of Lermond, Flahive, Sullivan, Welch, Mahoney of ' 25 ac- complished on the boards during the 1925 indoor season. BUB TURRI Competing against the leading men in the world, the Eagles have turned in many memorable performances during the past four seasons. Little Joe Sullivan tied the track record held by Freddie Burns who had previously run the fastest lap on the Heights boards in 18 4-5 seconds. This same Joe pushed the world famous Murehinson to world record breaking figures, and defeated the Olympic stars, Seholz, Clarke and Lever. Flahive ran up a record for consis- tency by leaping six feet or more on more than a dozen occasions. Lermorid, the only member of the Boston College Track team to make the ■1924 American Olympic Team, has performed very consistently for the college during the past three years. One of Lemon ' s greatest victories was the win- ning of the Millrose Three Mile at New York last year ; he then returned to New England to be crowned New England Indoor and Outdoor Two Mile Champion. The fall of 1924 found Lermond starting off by snatching the Cross Country ehampionshii at Franklin Park. The phenomenal time records and perform- ances of Nurmi alone eclipsed his work this last year. The 1924 track season was conspicuous by the absence of Phil Dillon, who had the misfortune to be injured early in the season, but he came back strong in his last year, showing much of his old-time form on the championship relay teams. Another team mate of Phil ' s , Louie Welch, has, it seems, been able to pull more victories from the fire, in his tour year ' s of running than any of the others. The 1.55 1-5 half, with which he assured the Eagle the victory in that never to be forgotten world ' s record team at the Penn Relays, stands out probably as the greatest feat of his career. The work of Huck Finnegan and Goose Reilly in the earlier days of the class at the college did much towards putting the class of ' 25 in the van of track fame. ■ We look forward to B. C. having greater track teams, but no single class will ever be able to point to a better representation of stars, who became world famous while at B.

Sheer grit and determination car- ried him to such lieights that lie became the proud pos- sessor of title after title, and one of the East ' s most popular track stars. PHIL DILLON Although he had never worn a track shoe until he entered B. C, this son of St. Louis has been instrumental in bringing to the Heights most of the relay champion- ships won by the Eagles within the past four years. A member of the world record breaking 2400 yard team and of the intercollegiate two mile medley champs, ' ' Phil ' s ' ' greatest achievement was his victory over Tierney in the N. E. 600. HUCK FINNEGAN ' ' Huek ' ' was one of B. C. ' s original two mile champs, competing on the team that fli ' st gained fame at the Penn Belays by winning the Intercollegiate champion- ship. Only the call of the diamond, where he held down the pivot position, prevented him from enjoying great success in the field of sport, untried by him until he matriculated at the Heights. ' •FLUFF FLAHIVE Fluff is the best high jumper that lias ever rep- reaented the Eagles. Holding a string- of championships, his greatest feat was his winning of the crown of high jump king at the intercollegiates. During the season of ' 24, ' ' Fluff ' ' established a record for consistency, by leaping over six feet at ten consecutive meets. Fluff sure is SOME high stepper. ' ' LEMONS ' ' LERMOND And here ' s B. C. ' s converted novice. From just one of the team ' ' to Olympic representative, is quite some jump to fame, but that is what our Lemons did. The sensation of the Eastern track world in 1924, his brilliant running was continued overseas for Uncle Sam, at the ' 24 Olympics. Lemons was one of the U. S. runners cliosen to meet Nurnii on his arrival in the States. GOOSE REILLY Goose enjoyed a short, snappy, and successful ca- reer on the cinders. Making a bid for fame as a hurdler at the New England championships in 1923, by beating to the tape such sterling hurdlers as Merrick and Sulli- van, ' ' Goose ' ' was forced to abandon what loomed as a successful track career because of his duties as President of the class of 1925. JOE SULLIVAN ' ' Cocky ' ' ? Wliy shouldn ' t he be ?

LOUIE WELCH A ' ' made ' ' runner, a perfect example of concentra- tion and determination, whose achievements as a membci ' of the world record breaking two mile team and the un- defeated championship medley team, have stamped him as one of the world ' s greatest relay men and a real racer with an uncanny ability for ' ' coming through ' ' for the glory of old B. C. • TT ■ ■,. BUB TURRI BOSTON COLLEGE Coach Charles E. Foote An Athletic Review HOCKEY Boston College has her champions and her champions. In the latter group may be found the hockey team. In no field of sport have the Eagles enjoyed quite the success that they have on the ice. Meeting all comers, her midget teams have held in check the strongest teams of this country and Canada and have chalked up a record of consistency wellnigh unbeatable. Much of the Eagle ' s success as undisputed collegiate champions during the last four years has been due to the efforts of the representatives of the class of 1925. The work of these men, each one a recognized star in his own position, has ably upheld the class ' s undeniable ranking position in B. C. sports. Under Coach Fred Rocque, the winter of 1921-22 saw the Eagle team un- defeated by any U. S. college team. With victories over Yale and the Ramblers, the unofficial Harvard team, B. C. ' s claim to the championship was practically imchallenged. It was in the winter of 1922-23, however, that the Eagles startled the hockey world with a record unsurpassed by a college team in the history of the sport. Overcoming all opposition, club and college, teams both in Canada and the United States felt the power of its strength, even with the hockey champions of the American Hockey League, the B. A. A., bowing down before it in defeat. Again in the season of 1923-24, mider a new coach, Charles Foote, victories over all the leading college teams of this country and Canada crowned the Eagles as-the puck-chaser chami)ions. ROCKY CURRY ' ' Rocky ' s ' ' work on tlip ice for the Eagles is history, but the page he has written into the liockey annals of B. C. will not soon be for- gotten by the ' ' men from Boston. ' ' It has been two years since ' ' Rocky ' ' per- formed on the ice, yet followers of the ice sport are still talking of the days when his work as center-ice man gave the Eagles their first real start in the limelight, and attracted the atten- tion of the critics to a team that was later to make hockey history. % TURRI ' ' JACK ' ' FITZGERALD They call him ' ' Jack ' ' Fitzgerald in the line- uj:). No family newspaper would record what enemy forwards call him.

Canadian players say that ' ' Fitzie ' s a mar- vel in the net. They say he ' s the slickest goalie in the States. When such men say a Yankee is a marvel, that Yank must be good. And Fitz is that. (The Boston Post) SONNY FOLEY Who would we rather watch play hockey than anyone else? Mr. Sonny Foley, Boston Col- lege ' s center ice man, of course. Why? Well, because he nc er lofts, never cfaits, never stalls; because he loves to play hockey, plays clean, and never puts personal glory above team play ; because he takes his bumps with a smile, keeps cool, calm, and collected; because he is aggressive, talented, courageous, canny — and all despite the fact that he is a veritable midget in size — (TJie Boston Transcript). All of which leads us to acclaim ' ' Sonny ' ' as some liockey player. 5UB m% TURRI [271] 5UB TURRI Edward Harrison, Captain William Coady, Coach John E. Cormey, Manager An Athletic Review BASKETBALL Basketball is the only sport in which ' 25 men did not predominate, which no doubt partly accounts for this branch of athletics enjoying but fair success. However, since the advent of the class of 1925 to the Heights, much has been accomplished under great difficulties. Meeting many of the leading quintets of the East and on foreign courts, the Eagle cagers have built up such a reputation for aggressiveness and versa- tility that opponents have come to recognize victory over them as well earned. Nor has the record of the Eagle quintets been one of failure, for under the wonder coach , Bill Coady, the B. C. men have always chalked up as vic- tories, a large percentage of the games. It was in the season of 1923-24 that the court game began to come into its own, with Moekler, Keahane, Whelan, ex-25 and Hickey, ex-25 being instrumental in returning victories over Holy Cross, M. L T. and University ' of llaine. Two victories over Holy Cross were largely responsible for the success of the 1924-25 season. The initial encounter resulted in the Eagles being returned the victors 24-20. In the second encounter the B. C. team was victorious after a sizzling battle. Waldron and Murphy starred, with Murphy shooting the winning goal in the final minute of plaJ What the 1925-26 season will bring is difficult to prophesy, but with every veteran returning to the Heights next year, in addition to Harrison, who as Captain of ' 25 quintet was unable to play because of injuries received in football, fortune should smile on the Eagle court as she has on every other field of athletics that the Eagles have competed upon, and crown the B. C. cagers with success. 12721 ' ' JACK ' ' KEAHANE Although ' ' Jack ' ' is better known to the sporting- public as a football player, his giant stature enabled him to be the handy man for the Eagle quintets. Al- ways ready to do his bit for the college,- Jack fre- quently responded to a ' ' call from the court ' ' , where, as center, his six foot plus enabled him to get the jump on his shorter opponents and thus give his team a start towards another basket. ' ' Jack ' ' may not be another Haggerty, but we ' 11 say that he ' s a handy man to have around just the same. ■•ED MOCKLER The man wliom fortune failed. The mainstay of Coach Coady ' s second line of defense for three seasons, ' ' Ed, ' ' when the opportunity was afforded him to jump center regular ' ' for Boston ' ' , had the ill fortune to be injured in an early season game. As a hard worker on the court, ' ' Ed ' ' had few equals. Always in the game until the final whistle with the best he had in him, his all round ability was often the savior of the Eagle quintet, when victory seemed to be slipping- into defeat. 5UB TURRI [274] 5UB ■% TURRI CLASS FOOTIiAl,]. St UAIi LYONS, ' 27 Mclaughlin, ' 2(1 O ' NEIL, ' 25 [275] BUB Class Sports Despite the many difficulties attendant upon the introduction of inter-class athletics in a day school such as ours, such forms of sport have had a fair de- gree of success. Victory first came to 1925 when as Freshmen we won the an- nual inter-class meet. The members of our class hockey team in Junior was forced to yield only after a desperate struggle to the Seniors. It was under more favorable skies that our diamond legions met the other class nines and performed commendablj ' . As part of our Junior Week program we challenged, encountered and defeated the 1924 basketeers by a goodly margin of points. Oiir gridiron history does not afford us the same satisfaction, but we may console ourselves by remembering that when we were forced to lower our colors to the ' 24 team, not the .seniors alone defeated us, but it seemed that the Pates were allied against us. The Junior- senior hockey game played at the Boston Arena in February 9, 1925, provided both thrills and laughs, together with a splendid demonstration of class spirit and rivalry. Gerard Staffer j was the captain of the Senior Sextet. TENNIS Seeking to establish at B. C. a sport which is fostered at many other colleges, Edward J. O ' Neil, as Captain, and Raymond McLaughlin, as manager, have worked tirelessly in the interests of the tennis team. Truly splendid courts are at the disposal of the students and this fact together with interest on the part of the student body growing, another sport in which Alma Mater will gain new prestige, will be added to the long list of major sports in which we already have gained distinction. BOXING The manly art of self-defense had more than a few among us who under the expert tutelage of Jack Keahane, have much about this useful and prac- tical science. Numbered among the devotees of boxing were found Jimmie Ahearn, Jack Malonej ' , Ernest Dimmock and Billy Doyle. Keahane at one time was the New England amateur heavy weight champion, hence the boys had a most capable instructor in the art of leather pushing. SOCIETY 12791 MRS. VINCENT P. ROBERTS President of Philomatheia BUB TURRI Philomatheia Club Lovers of Wisdom ! Friends of Boston College ! Friends of the class oi 1925 ! Since the earliest days of its inception the auxiliary of the College has been the greatest and most enthusiastic supporter of all things Maroon and Gold. Nor was there any exception in the instance of this Senior class. In every un- dertaking we have had evidence of their willing and active co-operation. Through our four years of college the Philomatheia Club has presented to the class several medals as prizes in studies, together with the purse of gold awarded annually to the winner of the Oratorical contest. Aside from educational pursuits this auxiliarj- has aided us also in extra- curriculum activities. Every gathering of 1925 found in its midst, many of the members of this club ; our earliest attempts at get-togethers in Freshman ; our Sophomore class day ; our long-to-be-remembered Junior Week. In Senior par- ticularly, every musicale, debate, dramatic presentation, and social, bore evidence of their loyal support. Nor can we forget their co-operation with us in the re- ception to the championship Hockey team of 1924, and their colorful and whole- hearted courtesy extended to the class at the Philomatheia Ball. To the members of this organization, and particularly to its President and other officers, we wish to express, as a class, our sincere appreciation of their efforts in our behalf, and to extend to them the hope of an eventful period of accomplishment and service. 12S1I Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary The greatest of all influences on our college career was perhaps the Sodality, which brought us once a week before the altar of God, to pay our homage to His Blessed Mother. This devotion took special form during the month of May, when it was the class duty to care for the college shrine for the period of a week. It was, however, the steady and faithful attendance at these meetings which gave the greatest graces to its members. The inspiring sermons delivered by the successive moderators Father O ' Brien in Freshman, Father Boehm in Sopho- more, Father Quinn in Junior, and Father Keyes in Senior, contained thoughts long to bo remembered. The co-operation of the student leaders of the class of 1925, with these mod- erators was a dominant feature of the Sodality ' s success. During the first two years the position of prefect was ably filled by .George McCarthy, and the secre- tary and assistant prefect were William O ' Brieii and Raymond McLaughlin. The Junior year found Albert L. Hyland in the office of prefect, assisted by Bernard Hayward. The elections in Senior placed in office J. Stephen Patten and Joseph P. Burke, as prefect and secretary respectively. That many realized fully the value of the priceless words of wisdom and advice given weekly at Sodality, was shown in the splendid attendance throughout the year. We have been especially fortunate in passing our college days under such influence as the Sodality, and may our lives be, as were our days at college, under the especial protection of the Blessed Virgin. BUB TURRI The League of the Sacred Heart With the inspiring presence of the Spiritual Counselor of the College sup- plemented by the powerful influence of the League of the Sacred Heart, the spiritual welfare of the student body was well cared for. Once every month the students assembled under the various directors of the League, there to hear their inspiring and soul-feeding words. The League, which is an ancient and sacred custom in Jesuit colleges, was ablj ' fostered by the Rev. Thomas L. McCluskey, S. J., and for many years has been the recipient of his greatest energies. Fr. McCluskey, himself one of the most familiar and lovable figures on the campus, directed the Senior division. His timely and pointed conversations, they could be termed sermons, which were given once a month to the members of the two upper classes, were truly Taps from a Light Lash. The Senior study hall, a fitting setting for his talks, was a pleasing sight, hallowed by the presence of a large statue of the Sacred Heart, with candles, lighted by willing acolytes, on either side. The Sophomore members of the League congregated elsewhere to eagerly drink in the truths expressed in the talk of the Rev. Fr. DriscoU, S. J. The Freshmen, filling to capacity the college chapel in St. Mary ' s Hall, expressed their devotion under the direction of the Rev. Fr. Cronin, S. J. The Senior promoters included Francis J. Bowman, Edward F. Brickley, Joseph P. Reagan, Arthur J. Riley, John W. Cass, Francis D. Elbery, John C. McDonald, Edward P. ' Callahan, Clerald I. Flynn, E. Cierald Grey, Bernard F. Hayward, and James A. Walsh. Dramatics Rev. William Murphy, S. J., Director Gerard H. Hlattery, President To review the past year ' s work of the D ramatic Association, and that alone, would be in our opinion but half the task, for who could forget ' ' A Daj Lost, ' ' The Merchant of Venice, and the numerous other successes which the Asso- ciation has achieved since we first made its acquaintance in Freshman. From that time we enjoyed its many triumphs and departed grieved that no longer might we participate in its activities. During the past year, at the Christmas Pageant at the Boston Public Li- brary, conducted by the Community Service, Boston College had the unique distinction of being the nucleus of the undertaking that her Dramatic Asso- ciation was invited to take the leading part in the exposition. The work of the amateur Thespians was of such calibre as to elicit the most favorable praise of Miss Joy Higgins, director of the Pageant. The Sliakesperean production, Hamlet, presented in the latter part of the year, was warmly received by an extremely attentive and appreciative audi- ence. The members of the Association so far outdid themselves that the greatest tragedy of the Bard of Avon will long live in the memories of those who watched its superb presentation. Unstinted ])raisc must be given to the one chiefly responsible for the singular success of the students along dramatic lines. To the Rev. Wm. E. Murphy, the class of ' 25 owes its deepest gratitude for his efforts in giving them, beside a sincere appreciation for dramatics, usefiil helps and advice in acting. His kind- ness and generosity will long be remembered by those who came in contact with him in any capacity. Each year the same task of replacing those who have gone on presented itself. Always he accepted willingly the task of training those who aspired to the places left vacant by the graduation of their predecessors, and our sincerest wish i s that he may have the greatest success in his under- takings. Well may ' 25 boast of her representation in the ranks of the Dramatic As- sociation. With such men as Gerard H. Slattery, Wm. Arthur Reilly, Joseph M. Clavan, George P. Smith, William E. O ' Brien, Cornelius J. Callahan, Charles E. Darling, Edward J. 0 Leary, J. Stephen Patten, and Julian C. Mc- Grath, comjn ' ising the more distinguished of her exponents of the art of Thespis, she may with justice flaunt her laurels, and lay true claim to the honor and prestige due her through the efforts of her able members. If COLLEGE [288] The Heights Maintaining its high jjosition in college journalistic ranks, the Boston Col- lege weekly continued to forge ahead at a higli rate of speed under an excep- tionally efficient managing board. Chief among the accomplishments of the pa- per was the formation of the Collegiate Newspaper Association of Boston and ' the introduction of the Heights Honor Roll, by which the managing board honored those B. C. men who in their opinion had done the most for the non-athletic activities of the college. It was the Heights, too, which engineered the sending of the college band to Syracuse, in the fall of 1924. James E. Tobin, formerly Chairman of the Editorial Board, held the reins of Editor-in-Chief during 1924-1925, and under his capable leadership the news division flourished to such an extent that the Heights can justly boast of being the peer of college weeklies. John C. McDonald, former treasurer, filled the position of General Manager, and supervised with great executive skill the business department of the paper. It is due to his untiring efforts that the Heights brought its year to so success- ful a conclusion. Thomas A. Kearns, another 25 man, rose from the position of Chairman of the Editorial Board to that of Managing Editor, all within the yeai ' . The success of the news division is largely due to his efforts and suggestions. Edwin T. Donovan, the fourth member of the class on the managing board, was the successor of E, Clerald C4rey, ' 25, who withdrew from the staff early in the year. It was under Mr. Donovan that the siibscription list bounded forward as it never did before. James A. Walsh was the final representative of 1925 on the staff, acting as literary editor, and concerned himself greatly with the feature division of the paper. The remaining membei ' S of the managing board, who succeeded the retiring seniors to the high ])osition were : William A. Consodine, ' 26, to whom the effi- ciency of the sporting department was entirely due ; Harold B. Harris, ' 26, Treasurer ; Francis S. Russell, ' 26, Advertising Manager, and Cornelius J. Moy- nihan, ' 26, Chairman of the Editorial Board. [289] BUB 11% TURRI BOSTON COLLEGE [2901 BUB TURRI The Stylus 111 many important ways the eldest of our College publications has this year been most happily circumstanced. We may instance, for one thing, the success- ful ministrations of its managers, Charles 0. Moiiahan and John T. Sullivan, who have, in the short space of a year, built up an excellent managerial system, and placed the paper on a firm financial basis. Secondly, the literary personnel of the Stjdus, considered as a group, has this year been of a superior quality to that of anj of the forty-two years of its previous existence. Such at anj ' rate, has been the opinion generally expressed by all hands, as well as the explicit judgment of those few whose sober criticism we at the Heights are accustomed to respect. So conditioned, the Stylus has not failed of its opportunity, but has determinedly branched out into what we may call the field of literary experimentation. As to format, for example, much has been attempted in the way of improving the apiDcarance, as apart from the con- tent, of the magazine. Efforts in this direction have doubtless not been alto- gether successful, but at least we may think that a tradition has been inaugu- rated which will aid and illuminate the staffs of the j ears to come. Again, the editorship of Victor C. Carr has been singularly felicitous. It has been the attraction of his personality and the breadth of his views which have served to attract to the Stylus office some of the best brains of the school. In this connection we ihay not omit mention of James E. Tobin, Editor of the Heights, Will F. Walsh, John F. Cray, Michael J. Rock, Anthony Julian, Joseph A. Beattie, all of whom as Assistant Editors were an inspiration to their fellow staff men. Other members of ' 25 who received the coveted charm were D. Charles De- Courcey, and Edward P. ' Callahan. The prospects for the immediate future were particularly bright, with such names as those of Henry G. Lawler, Austin J. Crowley and T. Everett McPeake among those who staved over. [291] The Radio Club The Radio Club of Boston College, during the year was under the direction of the Rev. Daniel J. Lynch, S. J., head of the department of Physics. The officers of the club were Thomas F. O ' Hanlon, ' 25, President; Raymond CI. Mc- ' € arthy, ' 25, Vice-President and Chief Operator; and James Tully, ' 27, Secre- tary and Treasurer. Under the able direction of the Moderator, with the earnest and untiring co-operation of the officers, many of the students acquired a working knowledge of radio in general. Those who were members of the club in past years were assisted along the finer lines and were instructed in some of the more minute and theoretical details of radio-telephony. During the winter the club eciuipment was transferred to the newly con- structed, sound-proof radio room in the new Science Building. This room is grounded to eliminate surges and transmission Josses, with all the external switches built in. With the erection of a new tower and permanent antenna, the station will be complete and once more IPR and IXK will take her place among the leading stations of the country. The French Club One of the societies which came into being at the Heights during the year was 1 ' Academic Francaise, successor to le Cerele Francais, which died from nat- ural causes some time before. This organization owed its inception entirely to the efforts of the Rev. Fr. de Mangleere, whom it was the college ' s good fortune to have during tlie year as tlie head of the Department of French. Himself a native of France, and thus perfectly equipped with an understanding of and feeling for the life and literature of the French people, Father de Mangeleere was consequently able to serve the club ideally well. In founding it, he had an eye not merely to the existence of similar organiza- tions in other colleges, but to the invaluable cultural and practical benefit which such organizations, when well and seriously coi ducted, can afford the interested student. The initial meeting of the dub was in February, and the society con- vened weekly thereafter. Lectures, readings and conversations were the order, and the program was carried out to such distinguished success, that a play was attempted during the latter part of the year. Prominent ' 25 men in the club were Will F. Walsh, Anthony Julian, Ed- ward P. ' Callahan, Jose])h A. Beattie, Joseph M. Walsh, and John E. Cormey. 12921 TURRI T. Francis Burke, Director Albert A. Ward President Musical Clubs The Boston College Musical Clubs, under the direction of Mr. Clarence Sloane, S. J., and the ex]3ert tutelage of Mr. T. Fraiicis Burke, passed, in the college year of 1924-25, one of the most successful years in their history. The first organization to make its public appearance was the Band. It was a credit to Boston College. The white-jeaned, maroon-sweatered, white-hatted men from the Heights played like veterans, at home games and at Syracuse, and at the final game of the season showed their ancient rivals from Mt. St. James that they were second to no college band. At the approach of winter after the last football game, the interest of the clubs turned from the Band to Orchestra and Glee Club work. The Orchestra, by dint of much hard work, attained a degree of perfection seldom seen hereto- fore. Concerts were given, in Boston and outside, music furnished at debates, contests, and at productions of the Dramatic Club. The special broadcast from station WNAC was so successful that letters, phone calls, and telegrams literally poured in requesting another broadcast. The Glee Club came in for its share of praise by its excellent work at con- certs and in the WNAC and WDBR broadcasts. This club consisted of ap- proximately fo rty voices including many excellent soloists. The annual com- bined Musical Clubs concert given March 22, 1925 at Jordan Hall, was a musical event of note and a large audience was greatly pleased by the quality and quan- titj ' of the rendition. At a meeting of the Clubs held early in the year, Albert A. Ward, ' 25, was chosen President ; Francis J. Flanagan, ' 25, Vice-President ; and John L. Lyons, ' 25, Secretary. The principal soloists were Lawrence Thornton, Walter Blanken- ship, Daniel Healey, William A. Marr, Francis J. Flanagan, and John E. Cor- mey, with Gerard H. Slattery as reader. The Clubs are under the management of William J. Dunn, ' 26, assisted bv Austin J. Crowlev, ' 27. SUB TURRI The Band To one particular branch of the Musical Clubs, namely, the Band, much credit is due. Its presence at the football games was inspiring and was prodv c- tive of the greatest possible degree of enthusiasm. Those white-capped musi- cians, who braved the chill of raw fall days in donning white flannels and sweat- ers to augment to some degree their orderly arrangement on the field, deserve the unstinted praise of every person interested in the college and its activities. At Syracuse the Band gained a position in the collegiate world that may well be envied b} ' many other college bands. Marching through the streets of the city to Archibold Stadium, Boston College, through the medium of one of her representatives, received what we are told was the greatest ovation ever given any parade in the city. On the field, the superiority of the Maroon and Gold musicians over her rival was quickly perceived and readily acceded. What smirches our football record received were adeciuately balanced if not out-weighed by the praise that came from all sides to our musicians. Nor did the applause and praise end at the Stadium. An invitation was received to play at B. F. Keiths and gratefully accepted. Here again the residents of Syracuse gave our Band her just due, and while we may, have been disappointed in some ways, our Band received oceans of praise and cheers. Prominent in the Band were a goodly representation of ' 25 men. Bert Ward, the congenial President of the combined Musical Clubs, who himself played the drums, had among his cohorts Billj- Marr, leader; John F. Lyons, French Horn ; George F. Donovan, Bass ; Anthony Julian, Clarinet ; Frances P. Carroll, Baritone ; James P. Maguire, Clarinet ; Harry T. Finn, Cornet ; and last, but not least, George P. Smith, Cymbal. [296] FULTOX OFFICERS— FIR8T TERM FULTOX OFFICERS— SECOND TERM BUB Fulton Debating Society In October, 1924, the Fulton Debating Society began the 35th year of its existence with Rev. Fr. Stephen A. Koen, S. J., as moderator. The following competent men were chosen officers for the first term: President, Joseph M. Gavan; Vice-President, Victor C. Carr; Secretary, Bernard J. Hawley; Treas- urer, Timothy M. Howard ; and Censor, Thomas L. Quilty, all of Senior. During his term of office, Mr. Hawley was forced to resign as secretary because of his many other duties, and Cornelius J. Hines, ' 25, was elected to succeed him. With the appointment of the Lecture Committee consisting of Timothy M. Howard, chairman, Bernard J. Hawley, Cornelius J. Hines, George F. Donovan of senior and Walter R. Morris of Junior, work was begun in interest on the lectures against the jiroposed Child Labor Amendment. Many Knights of Co- lumbus councils were visited during the two weeks prior to Election Day. The question met its defeat at the polls in November. The speakers who took part in these tours were Joseph M. Gavan, Victor C. Carr, Bernard J. Hawley, John J. Hanrahan, Thomas L. Quilty, Charles 0. Monahan, Lawrence Lombard!, and Timothy M. Howard. Among the cities visited were Needham, Roxbury, Win- chester, Maiden, Melrose, Salem, Cambridge, Wakefield and Peabody. From December on, members of the society visited other places and spoke on interest- ing and timely topics. In this way the work continued in full swing throughout the j ear. At the first meeting of February, Joseph M. Gavan was re-elected president. Timothy M. Howard was chosen to fill the Vice-president ' s chair while the offices of secretary and treasurer and censor were given to Cornelius J. Hines, George F. Donovan and Albert L. Hyland respectivelj ' . Plans for the intercollegiate debates and for the all-important Prize Debate were arranged by James P. McGuire and from the results of the contest the work of Mr. McGuire for the society was more than successful. In the inter- class debate between Junior and Senior, won by the men of ' 26, the ability of several youthful orators was brought to light. With the splendid array of able speakers in the Junior class as the nucleus of next year ' s society, the standard already established will be maintained in the future and the name of Boston College will retain its i)osition in the force of the debating world. 13031 II ■ , •.- ■ .J ■St ' ■ ' , ,,; - m ' ■ : ' ' ■ -i MM Ml! f i.

KDWARDS ADDRESSES STLDLNTS, EDICATIOX WELK, NOV. 17, l!ii;4 The Following are Wanted at the Dean ' s Office Many have been the days we have heard the above uttered, and many, too, have been the times that we responded to this command. Yet never did it strike terror within oiir hearts, for in that office we knew we would find a man — a man ' s man — who realized his duty at Prefect of Studies to guide, guard, and direct us. He was as a father to us all — one who recognized that there were two sides to every story,- and that ours was not the lesser in importance. Few were the words he spoke, but gerat the significance of them. Duty had no greater cham- pion than our beloved Dean. Our interests were his interests; and our trials, his. It is indeed with sadness that we must break the close bond which for four years has united us to him. Biit it must be. Now we go forth as alumni, ever to cherish within our hearts the memory of the man who has proved himself our benefactor; a man who was ever our friend and advisor. Reverend Patrick J. McHugh, S. J. For his counsel and advice we respectfully thank him. Father McHugh, scholar and priest, the class of 1925 bids you farewell, and wherever you may be stationed, remember that the fellowship and loyalty of each one of us is yours. Vale. BUB TURRI One and all we unite for the last time to bid adieu to our Reverend Prefect of Discipline, Father John Fitzpatrick. Often, and perhaps needlessly, have we burdened him with trivial misdemeanors and short-comings, but all in all we are wiser and better men for- it. We feel sure that his whole-hearted efforts in our behalf have not been in vain. His punishments were meted out impartially to all. Always a hard and sincere worker, he was true to his sacred calling. Perhaps the best way for us to remember him is through his deeds, and surely they are worthy of emulation. His greatest success as head of the discipline department was, perhaps, the establishment of the 9 :45 study period in the Library. Some one has said that he learned more Psychology during one of these hours than from a week of home study. Is not this a fitting testimonial to the thoroughness and efficiency of its author? His famous whistle still echoes in our ears, even as it did in the days when its siren blasts summoned us i;p to class. There lingers, too, with us the mem- ory of the stern but friendly advice he has given us. His influence among us has been great — mav our gratitude manifest itself in future deeds of loyalty. [309] BOSTON COLLEGE [310] BOSTON COLLEGE [312] : ' :f l - r,. JtJ ' S55- S23i:F! Junior Week 1925 undertook to perfect the ideas of Junior Week left us by our predeces- sors, the class of 1924, whose privilege it was to institute it. It is with the strictest sense of justice that we laj claim to putting this week of Junior festiv- ity and frolic in its present lofty position, since certain of its present activities, including the Prize Play contest and the production of the winning plot, were hitherto unheard of. The Jubilee, held at the Somerset, had the distinction of being the most largely attended and most universally successful promenade that any class had ever had. The following are excerpts from the class diar.y concerning Junior Week : Feb. 4th, Junior Week is here with us. The weather was miserable, but the crowd at our Smoker more than filled the Assembly Hall, despite the inclem- ency of old J. Pluvius. As fine a Smoker as we ever attended, thanks to Charles Monahan and his cohorts, who presented a well balanced and varied program. Feb. 5th, Aunt Kitty, the prize pla.y by Frank Hynes, and Patches, by Arthur jMatthews, were a huge success at Boston College High School Audi- torium. The boys did splendidly, and Gerry Slattery and Ed O ' Leary look like the real thing if Ziegfeld is looking for real talent. J. Pluvius is still on the war-path. Tom Quilt j ' is a good director, believe us. Feb. 6th, this Junior Week is a wonderful incentive to class spirit even if the Seniors did defeat us in the interciass debate. The question, Resolved, That the Bok Peace Plan be adopted by the United States was ably defended on the negative by Bernard J. Hawley, John J. Hanrihan, and Timothy M. Howard. Old Pluvius feels better and we hope he stays that way. Feb. 7th, our Jubilee at the Somerset. A perfectly enjoyable evening for every one present. Billy Marr and his committee deserve a gi ' eat amount of praise for the way they conducted everything. We hope we have the op- portunity to attend another such party in the future. Feb. 9th, Saturday is here and our week is nearly over. We met Holy Cross at St. Mary ' s Gymnasium and our basketeers won over the Purple by a score of twenty-one to nineteen. The Seniors went down to defeat at our hands by a score of eighteen to two. Certainly, if anyone deserves credit, Chuck Darling and his executive committee, and all subsidiary committees, have merited a rising vote of thanks for arranging and completing so successfully that enjoyable program of events for the class.
