O ' DOHERTY Treasurer SqgTIIRRFt ' E= SENIOR CLASS THE three years of joyous struggle and acquaintanceship finally passed, into the dim ever present shadow of glorious reminis- cence, and the Class of 1926 received its birthright in Senior year. Senior was different from those carefree months of Freshman, Soph- omore and Junior. It had a quiet seriousness about it that bespoke only too clearly a fast approaching June with its glorious, sorrow- ful Commencement. Underclass men now looked up to us. From our midst, they pointed out in a hushed voice to some hero wor shipper from home, the president of Senior, the captain of baseball, the editor of the Stylus. That was one phase of Senior. Senior also had its active side, oftimes so active that there was no opportunity for thought of the past or the future. Interesting periods under Father Corrigan and Father Creeden exposed the feared secrets of Ethics and Psychology in such a manner that, like eager children, we sought for more. Our elective studies were both interesting and beneficial to us. The annual Fall retreat commenced in October and Rev. Fr. Fox S. J., of Holy Cross was decidedly helpful in his advice on the choice of vocations. A football eleven that sparkled in many spots with the clear brilliancy of Senior enthusiasm won nearly all its preliminary games and then defeated Holy Cross in the final game of the year. Hockey, track and baseball were also aided to success by members of ' 26. The annual night before smoker of the Senior Class, hsld at the City Club was a forerunner of the victory on the morrow. The first banquet of the entire class was held at the Alden Park Manor on April 15th, and while memory is active it will always bring back a tender smile of recollection of that good time. Debating, both prize, intercollegiate and intersectional, reached its height in our final year at the College and Boston was a feared name among the collegiate debaters because of the many active Sen- iors on the teams. The annual ball given by the Philomatheia Club to the Sen- ior Class was held at the Copley Plaza on the evening of January 18th and was a distinct success. Class week celebrations, manifold and multiple, brought another reception, our last as Seniors, in the Assembly Hall under the granite, cross studded tower that seemed to hold up the darkness and beckon to a new day, a Commencement. HAROLD BHHCHER HARRIS iMyrtle Street So, Hanover, Mass. THE little town of Hanover has been ably represented among us by one Harold I. B, Harris, Harry, as he is familiarly known, has been more closely connected with the institution that most of the class by reason of the fact that he has boarded nearby, going home only over holidays. Upon becoming acquainted at the college he was among the first to join the staff of the weekly paper. The Heights, His steady work soon received recognition and toward the end of his sophomore year he was elected to the office of Treasurer, The following year Harry was elected, after a close contest, to the office of Business Manager, which position he occupied during his senior year. In addition he was chairman of the Cap and Gown com- mittee and rendered good service to the class in that capacity. The poor underclassmen who were so unfortunate as to drop into the Heights office in the course of an afternoon when Harry did not have class were astounded, horrified and stricken dumb by the learned and strange sounding terms, some biological and some what-not, which flowed in a copious stream from the lips of the serious-minded Harry. The outstanding feature of Harry ' s course has been the regularity with which he has attended college functions. Whether it was a debate, musicale, play or athletic contest, Harry was always on hand to encourage the partici- pants. In every way we may then say that Harry imbibed the true B. C. spirit in his first year and carried it with him through his entire course. Thu Heights. I. 2. 3. 4. Treasurer. 3. Business Manager. 4. Brosnahan Debating Society. 1.

A FEW years back a demure little lad gazed wistfully at the Towers and resolved that one day he would become a loyal son of Boston College. With the fall of 1922 came the class of 1926. of whose members none is more loyal and devoted to the college than Frank Repetto. During his first two years Frank served faithfully and well as an assis- tant manager of baseball. As an upper-classman he was more .especially interested in the success of the Fulton and the French Academy. Always doing whatever he could to further the interests of the college, Frank won the respect and admiration of his classmates who were quick to recognize his generous spirit of cooperation. His scholastic activity has been especially marked by the most scholarly zeal and earnest application which he has focused on whatever course he was pursuing. Gone is the demure schoolboy and in his place is the Frank Repetto whom we esteem so highly. We feel safe in predicting that he will succeed because of his ability to go through with whatever project he attempts and that he is bound to achieve his ultimate goal in all things. Go to it Frank, we wish vou the best of luck. Fulton Debating Society. 4. French Academy, i. 4. C HBT I ANGUS MICHAEL THOMAS MacNEIL 120 Jaques Street Somerville, Mass. ANGUS is a product of the City of Seven Hills. Not however Rome, but Somerville claims the distinction of fostering this fair son. For- saking the educational facilities of his home city, Angus elected B. C. as the logical institution for his quest of higher learning. For these four years past Angus has graced the Heights with his spirit of good fellowship and whole hearted interest in class and college undertakings. In the sciences Angus has truly proved himself a worthy scholar and his theoretical knowledge of electricity caused him to advance early into the experimental field of practical endeavor. Our class-mate has been observed to be one who gave careful thought before he pursued a course of action and it is that quality of infinite care that is one of his most striking characteristics. He is to be admired for that power of concentration and careful deliberation which will prove of such great worth to him in his field of mechanism, which demands such a high degree of accuracy. Still waters run deep, they say. and while Angus has modestly kept himself in the background, he has always given that impression of strength of character which will meet any test of a sincerity that cannot be doubted and of an earnestness of purpose that will serve well in the future.

WE are all familiar with that old refrain, A Smile Will Go a Long Long Way. The title of this song speaks volumes, but more than that sums up the admirable temperament of Chuck Greelish. His smile has won him many friends, and he has been known, on several occasions, to have merited the commendation even of his professors. We watched the appearance of the smiling lad from Medford in the various dramatic productions with the greatest of pleasure. Chuck, however, did not confine himself to the thespian art, but also allied himself with the Fulton during his Junior and Senior years. In fact his entrance into the sacred portals of the Fulton influenced a score of his friends to seek member- ship and no less than ten were enrolled, due to the influence of his winning personality. That smile of his has an impelling fascination about it. Four years have elapsed since we started together on the road leading to the coveted sheepskin. During this time Chuck has added materially in making college life more than just one school day after another. Though we come to the parting of our ways, we will not soon forget one who has been the source of such happiness to us in our college days. Football, 2, 3. Track. Z. 3. Medford B. C. Club. President.

AS you look at the picture which is presented to you on this page you will undoubtedly appreciate the aptitude of the expression used in refer- ence to this young gentleman. We will now hear from the staid and learned Mr. Stapleton; and staid and learned the world will find him, for he has especially distinguished himself here at college by his intellectual ability. The medals that he has won are too numerous to mention: suffice it then to say that he has always been a leader of his classes. Matt ' s ability as a leader has not been limited to intellectual lines how- ever, for he has also been active in extra-curriculum affairs, possessing as he does that quality which is required of a leader of men. His decisions contain that note of finality, his countenance that element of grimness, and his dis- position that element of loveableness which is essential to a successful leader. In athletic lines, too. he has distinguished himself, being a member of the class baseball team whose success on the diamond was indeed remarkable. Matt seems to favor the foreign service as his vocation, his love for service in other countries having grown by reason of travel and study. On this point of course we cannot have the assuredness of infallible prophets, but we can be sure that whatever his choice may be, whatever his vocation, he will be a leader, a credit to class and college. We of the class of ' 26 bid a fond adieu to a member of whom we shall always be proud. Matt Stapleton. President Brosnahan Debating Society. 1. Marquette. 2. History Academy. 4.

The class of twenty-six may well be proud of including in its numbers a man of his caliber. Always there to lead the work in whatever activity the class entered upon, his generous service during Junior Week will long be remembered and appreciated by his classmates: his wholehearted cooperation in furthering the interests of Boston College in the basketball world have received nothing but the sincere admiration of us all. Accordingly, then, we are confident that if he labors for his own interests as unflinchingly as he has for those of Boston College, Tom is bound to obtain the same successful results that characterized his every effort on the Heights. We are certain that his skill as a student and his success in doing big things for B. C. will ever be a source of confidence to him in his future endeavors. Boston College has graduated one of her finest men, but we gain con- solation in the knowledge that Tom will accomplish even greater results for the college he served so well. We shall always remember him as a true friend, a real student and a worthy representative of Alma Mater. Marquette. 1. Secretary. West Roxbury B. C. Club. 1. i . ' Manager. Basketball. I. _ ' . i.

DURING any Mass of the last retreat your attention may have been attracted toward the curly haired lad who performed the duties of altar boy. That honor of assisting at the Retreat Masses could not be given to any one in the class more deserving than Daniel Dunn who sacrificed time and energy in behalf of the spiritual welfare of his classmates throughout his entire college career. As a leader and promotor of the League of the Sacred Heart. Dan cannot receive too many thanks for his earnest efforts in furthering this spiritual aid society. This Dorchester lad is also to be highly commended for performing, in the face of untold difficulty, the task of distributing the Stylus to all the subscribers in the college. As a scholar Dan ranked with the highest and was the type of student most appreciated by his professors, being most diligent and earnest in his work. Yet after long hours spent in the classroom, early or late, rain or shine. Dan could be invariably found on the track where his dogged determination won the hearts of coach and squad alike. Dan would always say that he wns preparing for the big meet. If by the big meet he means success in life, we are confident that this smiling lad will be in the best condition that a real Boston College man can acquire. Track Squad. 3. 4. Fulton. 4.

THIS youth has travelled all the way from Newburyport during the last four years to absorb as much knowledge as he could from the intellectual atmosphere of University Heights. And it has been far from difficult to see that his travelling has not been in vain. Harold is rather quiet and inclined to hide his light under the proverbial bushel, but is nevertheless well known among his classmates. He applied himself with great zeal to his studies and the excellent result was easily and favorably noticed. Every afternoon he was to be found in the library working at Greek, Latin or Philosophy with a power of concentration well worthy of imitation. Because he lived at such a great distance from the college, Harold could not take a very active part in class activities, but had, nevertheless, a constant interest in whatever the class undertook, which was always manifested in the conversations which he had with his classmates. This young man had so much practice at travelling that he could qualify as a globe-trotter in the most select circles. His past experience would stand him in good stead if he decided to take this up as his life work. Assistant Librarian. 4. fl ALBERT CHANDLER EALLON 230 Lamartine Street Jamaica Plain, Mass. RUMBLE — rumble — rumble. That, dear friend is none other than the voice of A! Fallon buzzing his classroom pal, John Fallon. The whereabouts of this sound was ever hard to discover — ask any professor. As News Editor of the Heights, Al has been a father and counsellor to the vast throng of embryonic news chasers. To his genius in this regard is due in large measure the wide variety of news for which the paper was noted. At Boston Latin School he was one of the mainstays of the rifle team. His activities in this line, upon matriculation at B. C. were confined to shoot- ing windows at Dan Healy ' s camp located in the wilds of Framingham. Other shooting which he did was as a member of the Freshman A. hockey team. Al was a member of the Junior Pictorial Committee and incorporated that experience into the work of the Play Program for the performance of Twelfth Night as an assistant to Paul Wenners. Al is well known to the Seniors as Prof. Sullivan ' s able assistant in dis- pensing law notes. When an exam was announced, he was immediately besieged by the tardy ones for their notes, but managed nevertheless to survive handsomely. Al is going to be a dentist. He should be a real success if ability to keep the patient in the proper mood is any criterion. Heights Siatl. I. 3. 4. News Editor. 4. Glee Club. 1. Brosnuhan. I . Senior Reception Committee. 4.

IN the annals of our class history is written in indelible dye the name of one whose deeds have made him famous — Paul Ludovic. Always a leader, ever a true friend, Paul may well be proud of his career on the Heights. He is probably best known to the general student body as a Thespian, for it was in no small way due to his efforts that the Dramatic Association has enjoyed such enviable success during the past four years. No one who was present at the performance of Twelfth Night will soon forget the powerful voice, the rugged appearance and the superb acting of Sir Andrew , as por- trayed by our own Paul. It is our sincerest hope that on the great stage of life even greater honors will come, not only to Paul, but through him to the entire class. But lest the erroneous impression be created that Paul ' s activities were solely of a dramatic nature, let it be mentioned that, whether as a student, as a debator or as a committee-man, he played his part equally well. What- ever the undertaking, he worked with that same determination which char- acterized his entire college career. As an executive he ranked among the best, — as a friend, invaluable. In Paul, Alma Mater loses one of her most loyal sons, but in so doing gains an alumnus, upon whose faithful support she can continue to call in the future, — confident that her appeal will not be in vain.

PATRICK JOSEPH SULLIVAN 64 Tremont Street Charlestown, Mass. HE has won many a race; but not from track or griciiron victories have come his laurels, for it is in the realm of things intellectual, that Pat has won his spurs. He has ever been among the most brilliant men in his class, but especially has his talent been recognized during his junior and senior years. Pat ' s philosophical dissertations were always clear, well-argued and pleasingly presented. As a junior he had the distinction of meriting excep- tional praise from none other than the Prefect-General of Studies before whom Pat gave one of his customary recitations. Possessed of unusual intellectual ability, Pat is best known for his activi- ties along this line. He received in Sophomore and Jun ior years the highest class distinction possible, namely the much coveted class medal. Ever willing to do whatever he can to promote the interests of his college, Pat is a model student. No man is a prophet in his own country, but we are certainly justified in rrcdicting that the world, attracted by his winning personality, will give to Pat Sullivan the recognition which will be merited by his work and ability.

I NTRODUCING Noodle Island ' s entry, the boy from Easta Bost. ' ' We 1 have Roger Hickey amongst us. and no man will ever forget the day he met Roger. Roger ' s steady stream of jokes and puns has contributed much joy during our four years. The horizon might have been dark, the mark quotations may have been far below par. but the spirits were always high if Roger J. Hickey was in the vicinity. Hick , as he is sometimes called, is a name which can be justified only by contrast, for there is nothing country-cousin about Roger. Roger was a trackman in Ereshman and Sophomore year, but for some undisclosed reason abandoned his undertaking. It was rumored, however, that he was bought up by one of the national champs who feared the loss of his own laurels. During his Ereshman year he displayed great forensic ability and oratorical capabilities at the Brosnahan Debating Society. Roger and success will always be companions, for his optimistic outlook will enable him to see the good qualities of whatever he may undertake, and he will thus be able to recognize all the inherent benefits of his lifework.

ED is one of the members from Dorchester and is not at all to be confused with either of the National League pitchers, though he is sometimes called Jess . He is, however, a member of the Academy of Contemporary History, as well as being interested in many student activities. Here in the college his record for punctuality, attendance, diligence and scholarship is enviable. Although Ed has been a very busy man perfecting himself for the bus- iness of making life a success, by attending night classes in various subjects which will aid toward his ultimate aim, he has, nevertheless, found time to sacrifice to the Muse. This was made evident only recently by some very touching verses published under his name in the Stylus. Here we feel called up- on to censure Ed , not on account of his verses, the worth of which is indis- putable, but for having so long concealed his talent. Now that he has relented and delighted us so much by the expression of his genius, it seems only fair to predict that we shall hear more of Ed in this connection in a world in which there is a dearth of real genius. Besides all this. Ed has the distmction of having headed his class for three years due to the fact that his namebegins with a B , This year, how- ever, due to the accident of another man ' s name beginning with an A , he was relegated to second place which is in itself considered an enviable position. But wherever the accident of name may place him, we feel sure that ' Ed , re- alizing practically the motto of the school, will always have first place in the hearts of his friends, and in whatever vocation in life he may undertake, for such must be the reward of faithful hard work and honest perseverance.

( Bill ) Hagerty. For the past four years he has wended his way to University Heights with many others from South Boston, which has annually given a goodly quota of its sons to Boston College. Previous to making the acquaintance of the Little General , South Bos- ton, to us, was inhabited by people of strange habits and customs. These were by repute a fiery, nomadic, silent people. But ' Bill soon di sillusioned us of this libelous conception, for among the wordy soirees of the lunchroom he assumed a voluble, prominent position. Every topic was open to his keen a- nalysis; no problem was too abstruse or involved. During his freshman and sophomore years Bill disported himself on the athletic field in a skillful manner. Being a catcher of no mean ability he soon won a place on the class baseball teams. The Glee Club and College Orchestra were graced with Bill ' s pres- ence for two years, during which his tenor voice and dulcet strains of his vio- lin wafted throughout the corridors of the Recitation Building. We predict a brilliant future for our General Hagerty in the colorful arena of political life. South Boston must feel no fear; BiH Hagerty has come. Orchestra. 1. 2. Member South Boston B. C. Club.

He is one of our most studious members and is notoriously optimistic, always asking questions about the day ' s work and his optimism is evident, for he always ex- pects an intelligent answer. Long may this happy faith in his fellowmen en- dure! Like most youths of a studious nature, Frank is rather quiet and reserved. This lad from little Rhodey seems to take things very seriously, yet he has a humorous strain inter-mingled with his seriousness. Throughout his four years he has seemed most zealous in his desire to discover the constructions of unheard of phrases in Latin and Greek, or to be- come lost in some maze of philosophic truths and speculations too deep for Aristotle himself. However as a fitting reward for such diligence and application. Frank has always been one of the leading scholars of the class, and his interest in his studies has merited the admiration of his classmates. The fact that Frank has a large number of friends for so quiet a career proves that he has earned the appreciation and favor of his fellow-mates by his work. Marquette. 2. Fulton. 4. Radio. 1 . 2.

EVEN in our freshman days when worldly cares were troubles unknown to our young and innocent minds, we detected in Al those more serious characteristics which have so distinguished his four years ' stay on the Heights and which have won him the respect and esteem of his classmates in such a marked degree. Although of a retiring nature, Al has nevertheless made his presence felt. Possessed of a pleasant, jovial disposition, he is one of the best liked men in the class. Scholastically Al ranks among the first, this no doubt the result of a happy combination of natural ability and earnest application. With cha- racteristic enthusiasm he has found time to contribute in a material way to the efficiency of the Heights sporting staff, where the literary merit and accu- racy of his articles are indeed appreciated. Al is a real B. C. man whose every effort and ambition has been to further the interests of the college. With him go our sincerest wishes for suc- cess in whatever occupation he may follow.

All ashore that ' s going ashore, it is a certain- ty that Jack, or Big Mull , as he is sometimes known, will not be among those walking down the gang-plank. For be it known that this quiet, reserved lad is badly afflicted with the itchy hoof and is known from Ore- gon to Uncle Sam ' s Big Ditch with points East and West thrown in. It has been said of some that they would walk a mile for a camel, but Jack would always spend his last hopech on Bull Durham . After a checkered and colorful career, he has settled down this year to attain his degree and better his high average but a close observer can always tell when he is dreaming of a sunset on the Golden Gate. Of a calm, placid nature. Jack was oft ' left behind by the brilliant hustlers who stopped not to pierce his veil of reserve, but those who did were much the better for it. Popular with his friends, with a never failing faculty of sharing trouble as well as enjoying good fortune, and a dogged persistency to attain an end, Jack is expected to go far by both classmates and faculty.

Could we but reproduce his hearty laugh on this page, it would be a better index of his character than anything else that we might say of him. His pleasant manner, combined with his ma.t- netic personality, has made him one of the most popular members of the clasj. Since joining us, there has not been a single activity of the class in which he has not been actively interested. On the athletic field, in the classroom or at class social functions his presence is always noted. It was he who led the freshman baseball team in batting, it was he who made the varsity basketball team during his first year and again it was he who was the first member of our class to serve as a cheerleader. All these activities, however, could not prevent Eddie from selecting the Pre-Medical course, which is admittedly the hardest of the curriculum. Des- pite the difficulties attendant on such a course, he always ranked high among the scholastic brilliants. Few there are who have served both class and college as well as Ed. May his future career be characterized by the same success that has marked every phase of his college life. — this is the fondest wish that we, his class- mates, can make for him. Class Baseball. 1.

SOCIOLOGY tells us that if a person is reared in a certain environment, he is but following a natural gregarious impulse if he casts his lot within that locality. Yet Mr. Casey, or Frank, by which title he is known on the Heights, upset all the natural laws by choosing B. C, as his Alma Mater in preference to that institution within whose shadows he may literally be said to dwell. During his entire course Frank has been one of the most earnest and successful students in the class. This success along scholastic lines may be traced to a rare combination of ability and application. Characteristic of all the lads from the University city is their ready wit and humor. Frank, in this respect, is no exception and all who cross his path remember him best by his warm smile of greeting. If making friends is any criterion of success, Frank will have no trouble in making progress. His smiling countenance is sure to earn him a welcome wherever he may go. It is indeed gratifying for us to think that in the very home of a rival institution one of our classmates, Frank Casey, will ever be found upholding the traditions of Boston College by truly carrying out those principles which he absorbed so well during his four years sojourn on the Heights.

JAMtiS RI DMOND McGILLIVRAY 145 Wells Avenue Dorchester, Mass. DANCING his way into the hearts of his classmates and holding their affection by diligent work and an ever ready smile is an apt way of telling just why Jim McGillivray is so popular with the men of ' 26. Many class functions have been marked by Jim ' s clever terpsichorean exhibitions, the well attended Holy Cross game smokers of the past four years being especial wit- nesses of his art. Jim however, did not confine his entertaining prowess to smokers. His other endeavors in class shows were so well received that he, was drafted by the Dramatic Association. His side-splitting work as a soldier in one of Father Murphy ' s productions was the topic of much discussion, among faculty and student body alike. Jim has contributed to the success of class teams in four different sports, teams that have kept ' 26 on the Heights of victory, being undefeated in four years of competition. In his Senior year, Mac captained the football team which went through a strenuous season undefeated. Attributable also to Jim was the sudden appearance of Boston College men with college seals and emblems. An Eagle button for every B. C. man was his successful slogan. Many audiences of the lunch-room will testify to Jim ' s idea of harmony. He was always ready to sing, whether asked or not. Athletics and smiling enthusiasm have done much to carry him through to success in college, and the power of these qualities should be irresistible in lifting Jim to the rank of a leader of men.

WHEN Red matriculated at the Heights, he used to travel to and from Dorchester, but his strenuous work on the cinder track made him a specialist in correct training methods for athletes. Now as one of the principle items in the training of an athlete is sleep, plenty of it and under pleasing conditions. Red, finding Dorchester seeming to just awake at about 9 A. M.. found it very hard to get the necessary amount of sleep. He set out in quest of a place to sleep in peace and as a result now travels to and from West Roxbury, where everyone enjoys that advantage. Red is the boy who, as soon as he wiped his feet on the Dean ' s door- mat, started to hunt for the track locker room. Coach Ryder liked his looks, so Red has graced Alumni Field with his sorrel top these four years and seemed to be more permanent there than the flag-pole. Time has shown results — he used to play with all the hurdles but now he has his own set of laws and the result proves that it is best to specialize. As for speed — why, he makes a dash man seem like a marathoner! He also is a good man on the relay. His rainbow of hope is an inter-collegiate stripe. Versatility is his middle name. It is a sight for the boys to glance at Red picking over the keys of a typewriter in The Heights office, where he is an able and efficient member of the Sports staff. As for class work — he has an odd knack of shining there, too. Good luck. Red, we all wish it to you. Track. 1. 2. 3. 4. Heights. 2.3.4. JAMES EDWARD BROPHY 58 Carson Avenue Dalton, Mass. ONLY a few months ago the class of 19 26 was unacquainted with that prince of good fellows. Jim Brophy. For three long years he roomed and studied at Holy Cross and then, seeing the error of his ways, arrived at last in the promised land. Our acquaintance with this product of the Dalton schools has been short but intimate and we can frankly say that we wish it had been longer. Rooming with the rest of that old gang o ' mine on Manet Rd., Jim ' s sterling character was best known to them, but his bril- liancy of mind has this year been displayed to all. A few of us have good reason to remember his ability to awaken suddenly from the arms of Morpheus. When the call went out for songsters, he volunteered his services and has since become a valued member of the Glee Club. Because this organization already had one stellar pianist. Jim could not exhibit his talent. Yet by those who knew him better, this ability was best appreciated. Whether as room- mat e or classmate we always found Jim to be a real man. As the years roll on and our paths diverge, whenever ' 26 meets again to renew old acquaintances, we will always look forward with the keenest of pleasure toward meeting one whom we are proud to call our friend and class- mate — Jim Brophy.

Here, gentles, do we introduce Joe Regan of Milton, worthy scholar, gentleman, and the Damon of the Pythian pair, Costello and Regan. Since bidding farewell to St. John ' s Prep, four years ago. the quiet amiability and friendship of this lad contributed in no slight way to the joy of our bright college years. College fellows are, after all, a shrewd lot. These seekers after truth turn a wary and a disillusioned eye upon the false, the shallow, the insincere — Hence it is no small tribute to the character of Murray Regan, that after these cau- tious preliminaries his classmates soon beat the proverbial pathway to the door of his friendship. In the play of his college career, the house was clever. With one most infuriating propensity was Mr. Regan fain to badger his fellow students — a most annoying insistence on preciseness in word and fact. Even the fervid eloquence of the wag Costello dashed in vain against this rock of sense and practical fact.. And ah. the slow smile of triumph! To those who combine a fine sense of humor with ability and energy, wise men say that life holds no dark corners. So that although we bid fare- well to Murray with much reluctance, we know that the years will bring him but deeper joy and well earned success. Glee Club, 1. Fullon Debaltng. 4. History Academy, 4. JOHN JAMES POUTAS 67 Lawrence Street Waltham, Mass. ARE you looking for an intelligent, energetic, conscientious young man. ' ' Fine! Meet John Poutas. from Waltham. Any time there is need of knowledge unknown by the ordinary student, one has but to ask Lono John and then he knows. John came as the valedictorian from Waltham High and entered B. C. as a sub-freshman. Undaunted by the handicap of not being a regular fresh- man, John immediately set to work and became the leader of the class. Being exceptionally brilliant in chemistry and with careful forethought, he elected the pre-med course in his Junior year. Consequently, due to the long hours of Lab, he was compelled to limit his college activities. Scholastically John (as you see) heads the list. Physically (as his picture shows) he takes a back seat from no one. Socially he positively shines. One has just to talk with John a few minutes to realize what a charming personality he has. He is a regular fellow, as his host of friends say. John has not confined his activities exclusively to the Heights, for he has the honor of being President of the Waltham B. C. Club.

NATICK may have sent her Caseys and Mahans to Harvard, but she certainly reserved the best for Boston College in the person of Ed McKinney. Well we remember those mornings in the library during Ed ' s first two years when he gladly sacrificed his time to aid those who. to use common parlance, were stuck. It has been this same attitude of give all the help you can. w-hich has so endeared Ed to all his classmates. Although we have no frats at Boston College, those early comers who. when Ed became an upperclassman, were members of his nine o ' clock circle in the lunch room, certainly found Ed as great a friend, student and gentleman as any frat brother could hope to be. Although a letter man in high school. Ed chose to give up sports in favor of studies. All through his college career he has conducted the best dance orchestra in the vicinity of Natick. and maintained at the same time an enviab le class record. Ed is a loyal B. C. student and can be found at any function having a maroon and gold tinge. We look for big things from him in the future and this expectation is not unfounded, for a fellow such as Ed, with his capacity for making life-friends, his ambition and determination, cannot fail to make a far reaching name for himself.

As a Junior. Tom lived at the famous house on Manet Rd.. where so many L. C. men have spent their college days. This year however, he emigrat- ed to Erookline Village. The reason for this radical change is unknown, but we suspect that Tom wished to be nearer the city where he could sleep peace- fully far from the maddening crowd. The two years of our acquaintance with Tom have indeed been pleasant and we look forward to meeting him in future years with a feeling of the keen anticipation. Although we know not the destiny of his course nor the port of his mind, it is our prophecy that when his journey is done and his chart of life ' s perilous seas lies before us. we will find his ship in the port of Suc- cess.

JOSEPH HENRY BEECHER 31 WooDViLLE Street Roxbury, Mass. THIS worthy gentleman ' s being somewhat of a literateur warrants him a classic treatment in this, his academic epitaph. For, surely, any mortal, who can for four years survive the hurly-burly of college life, maintaining withal such serene composure — is worthy of royalty ' s salute. He came to us after a post-graduate year ' s at B. C. H. and proved himself a stalwart among stalwarts. Underneath a calmness of manner and a suavity of appearance, this artrful one controlled an ebulliency of Celtic spirit, whose modified outlet in a sparkling stream of humor, proved a panacea to his less favored friends. His profound taste for literature, and an aptitude for dramatics have made him a prince of conversationalists, and a source of interesting experiences, for whose concealment his modesty must be deplored. In the halls of the future we shall peer expectantly and confidently into that regal apartment marked Intellectual Pursuits and Endeavor and there find him in genial labor, with a word of welcome, and warmth for his visitors and well-wishers. Or, if he choose the barrister ' s dark robes, we would not be surprised. For it would be his fine sense of principles, asserting itself in a field worthy of his capabilities. But. whatever he does, we will rejoice, because it will be the best that is in him: and knowing him. we are sure it will be a golden legacy to the world. Stylus, 1. Sub Turn. 4.

THE class of ' 26 is most fortunate in numbering among its members a youtl:) endowed with such pronounced ability and happy personal traits as this young man possesses. From his inception as a Freshman he has busied himself incessantly for the interests of the class and the college. In his Fresh- man and Sophomore years he rendered great service as an assistant baseball manager. In Senior he became a member of the Fulton and has taken a lively interest in the activities of the society. In his Junior and Senior year he was an acting member of the academy of Contemporary History. During his four years at the college he has been a member of the South Boston Club of Boston College. He has been most successful in scholastic matters and has always main- tained a very high standard in this regard. Whenever Jim made a recitation, terse and to the point as they always were, one would immediately realize that here was no dull and sluggard intellect but one blessed with a clarity of action and keenness of judgment, the like of which is indeed rare. His genuine and unbounded enthusiasm, blended with a quiet geniality, has won for him a host of friends. Endowed as he is with a perennially sunny disposition and possessing the happy faculty of rapidly cultivating new friend- ships, he has won a high place in the esteem of his classmates.

RAYMOND FRANCIS SCOTT 300 Prospect Street Cambridge, Mass. RAY, as he is best known to his classmates, matriculated at Boston College in the fall of 1922. Immediately upon being established at the Heights, Ray won his way into the friendship of his classmates by the loyalty he mani- fested to them and to the college at large. This same spirit has been shown by him throughout his entire career and it is with pride that we point to him as a typical B. C. man. Scholastically he inevitably ranked among the foremost, this no doubt the result of the same application to his studies that he always displayed toward the athletic and social activities of the college. As a member of the Glee Club, Ray proved once more the diversity of his ability and his interest in the affairs of the college. Could we all possess the same qualities that have endeared Ray Scott to his classmates, we would indeed consider ourselves fortunate.

During his first two years he showed remarkable ability as a student and was among the leaders of his class. In Junior however, he achieved the dis- tinction of attaining the rank of Real Philosophers, an honor respected and coveted by all. Throughout his four years on the Heights his application to his studies and his ability to maintain a high average won for him the respect and admiration of his classmates. His interest in scholastic pursuits however, did not prevent him from taking an interest in class and college activities. Jake was a faithful member of the debating societies as well as the History Academy. We do not know exactly what he has in mind after he receives his diploma, but we feel certain that the teaching profession seems to hold an attraction for him.

You of all- class- mates c an truly be termed great: great in body, great in heart, and great in ideals. Time, with its sweet, poignant memories, will but intensify the great love we have for you. Ed, old pal — chum of the greatest days of our lives — good luck! We shall miss you. Varsity Hockey. 1. 2. 3. 4. Varsity Baseball. I. 2. 3. 4. President Junior Class. President Senior Class.

IF the professors took attendance at the various athletic contests, insteaci of in the classroom, Bob would be one of the few who could boast of four years of perfect attendance. Even though Be was forced to hire a car and travel miles and miles on that memorable journey to Syracuse to keep that record un- smirched. Bob ' s loyalty to the college could not be denied. By such sacrifice is real character known. Always ready to give of his time or energy to promote the welfare of the class or college in whatever way he could, Bob was well-known and well- liked. Enrolled in the science course he was invariably among the foremost in a class -which boasted both of scholastic and athletic brilliants. Because he has succeeded here at the Heights, we confidently predict a brilliant future for him. Bob ' s friendship will always be highly prized be- cause of his depth of character. He is a man ' s man, of whom class and college may well be proud. Goodby, Bob, and good luck! Glee Club. 3.4. Louis Pasteur Society. 3.4. Banquet Committee. 4. Class Treasurer. 4. EDWARD FRANCIS DOWD 802 Main Street Waltham. Mass. ■THEY may raise them bigger, but not any better than Edward F. Dowd. a product of which the Watch City can well boast. Goose as he is pop- ularly known, has none of the qualities of that animal, but is one who always has reflected and always will reflect great credit on his Alma Mater. He is a firm believer in that old saying Take time by the forelock for he covers a lot of ground in twenty-four hours. It now only follows logically that it will be but a short time from his departure from the Heights of learning to the peak of success. For if Ed can do so much now in a day, a fortiori. as our profs, say. what great things he will accomplish when he comes to regulating his activity, by his knowledge of Philosophy and the sciences! Ed is not the type that dreams on and on, rather he cherishes high and lofty ideals, following them to the exclusion of all other interests. He is a great student, is always ready and willing to further the interests of Boston College and above all is a wonderful fellow to have as a friend. We will miss the sight of him towering above everyone else but in so missing him, we will only look forward the more earnestly to meeting him in the future. Brosnahan Debating Society, 1. Secvetary.

LOUIS EDWARD BARON 51 Lawn Street Roxbury, Mass. WITH the passing of time we know our true friends. So have we come to know Louis Baron. He is the type of man of whom colleges are justly proud. His happy ge nerous manner indicates the personality of a real scholar and friend. A human dynamo of energy, he is busy while the rest of the world plays and sleeps. An indoor aviator of the City Club, and an officer on the old Fall River line in the summer are but two of Louis ' occupations. His goal is to annex the degree of M. D. to his hard earned A. B. Every athletic contest at Braves Field or the Arena invariably finds Louis among the B. C. rooters. He has always made the interests of the college his interests. Each year he has ranked among the honor men of his class, both in studies and in the estimation of his fellow-students. We are proud to give Louis to the medical world, for he will surely bring credit to himself, to the class, and to the college. His years at college have been years of accomplishment and it is our fondest wish that he be rewarded with the success that surely is his due. Orchestra. 1. West Roxbury B. C. Club. 1.2.3. 4.

GAZING at you from above with those big brown eyes is Francis O ' Rourke, as fine a fellow and as true a friend as we have known. While president of the Salem Club in his Junior year, Frank put over the club ' s annual dance so splendidly that a second term was urged upon him by his devoted associates. During the past two years Frannie has been active in the Fulton Debating Society and has also found time to write for the Stylus, as well as work in the business department of the Heights. Along with these ac- tivities, he has carried on a very successful Civil Service class in the even- ing schools of Salem. Frankie shares the enthusiasm of the great Titian for auburn-haired pul- chritude: a fondness that may be ascribed to his happy faculty of looking at the bright side! We trust that he will never lose his cheery smile and the happy light in his eye — not only for his sake, but because they help to make life more pleasant for us all. A personality more amiable than Frankie is unimaginable — generous, sympathetic and quick to rejoice at the success of those about him. Were we to achieve nothing else during our college years, the cultivation of his friend- ship has given them a priceless value. Possessing as he does a brilliant mind, clean ideals and a personal magnetism that is irresistable, we expect him to go thru life sitting on top of the world — and the world is going to like it.

THE Fates who gather the skeins that go to make up the fabric of college life were indeed kind when they brought this gracious youth into our midst. As another product of our Prep School, John unassumingly established himself as a freshman in the class of ' 26, soon to be recognized as one of Boston ' s fmest. The complete narrative of his activities discourage a complete portrayal, but for two scholastic feats he is especially noted. During his full course he warbled valiantly in that sonorous ensemble which we honour as our Glee Club, and this consistent heroism was perhaps eclipsed by the brilliant per- formance with which Mr. McElroy starred Twelfth Night. Booth and Macready once more donned their ghostly buskins as McEIroy thundered his lines; ' Twas indeed a memorable occasion! John ' s quiet appreciation and humour contributed mightily to B. C. gatherings wherever they might occur. In that student institution — the college lunchroom — he was ever of the elect. Such a character able but not obtrusive, firm yet gentlemanly — may go far in life, and it is our prophecy that John will justify our kindest hopes. Glee Club. 1, 2. 3, 4. Debating. 1. I. 4.

(I 1 VISITORS who happen along one of Dorchester ' s prominent streets in the proximity of 8:30 on Wednesday mornings have oftimes stopped and gazed in wonderment upon the groups of schoolboys, policemen and truck- drivers who crowd that ash-can littered concourse, each with an attitude of eager expectancy. What ' s the trouble? ventures the Curious Visitor, and the question is re-echoed on all sides. Watch the corner, is the advice of a more experienced one, and while the C. V. intently fixes his gaze a strange phenomenon occurs. Around the corner flashes a curly-haired youth, under whose super-human strides the collected ash cans seem to melt away. Barrel after barrel he glides over, until with one last awe-inspiring leap he clears the remaining four barrels and hops on a waiting street car. Better time than last week, is the comment of one of the spectators as he moves away, — I ' ll bet he breaks his record next Wednesday. But — but who is he? stammers the C. V.. and the answer is flung back — Why the Red Flahive from B. C, of course, and thus is our amiable auburn-haired high-jumper introduced. Brother of the famous Fluff , former intercollegiate High Jumping Champion, Our Jimmie bids fair to attain equal honors on his beloved Track, for which he sacrificed a promising football career.

Frank is an unassuming fellow whose pleasing personality has won him a host of friends at college. No social function or athletic contest found him absent, for he was ever loyal to class and college. Because he never was a prolific writer in the Stylus, the readers of that estimable journal had the misfortune to be deprived of many a sparkling essay and story which flowed from his pen, to be appreciated far too often only by his professors. As a master of English style Frank has few equals among his fellow-students. His wide reading has earned him acquaintance with the best among authors both past and present. It is said that he has read Thackeray ' s Vanity Fair three distinct times and has likewise found time to peruse the entire works of Sobieski. That all of his time is not spent in book reading is evidenced by his recognized athletic ability. Frank being proficient in base- ball, tennis and hockey. Frank ' s choice of a profession has favored the life of a doctor. May we wish him unbounded success in his future career even as we are sure that such will be his lot. lass Hocki ' i), I. 1. 3. 4.

AS a representative of the little town of Winthrop, the class of ' 26 boasts of one James Kelly, better known to his legion of friends and admirers as Jim or Kell. Although diminutive in stature, stretching skyward to the height of five feet nothing, he was by no means lost in the background. His ready wit combined with his interest in school activities soon classed him as one of our most popular men. Possessed of an exceedingly fine voice, Jim was persuaded to join the Glee Club, shortly after the beginning of Sophomore year, during which season he played no small part in the success of the club. His activities however were not confined to this art alone, for as a member of the debating societies he showed great talent and skill. As a crowning glory to this career of fame, Kell on returning to Senior brought with him one of those vehicles known throughout select circles as the ' Collegiate Ford. ' How it came and how it went remains, even to this day, somewhat of a mystery. Although Jim has not definitely announced his intentions after graduation, it is our opinion that he will meet with marked success in whatever occupation he may choose. Brosnahan Debating Society.

THE 2:30 chimes have sent the students on their way, the college seems de- serted and our eyes wander in search of those whom the college grounds may harbor at this hour. Certainly, we knew that those who strove, labored and toiled beyond this late hour, were more earnest, more industrious, more am- bitious than the ordinary student. As we search, our eyes light on the erect, well built figure of a young man, plodding his way about the cinder path, striv- ing as best he might to win a position where he might reflect fame upon B. C. The young man whom our gaze has met is none other than stern visaged, black haired Pat Foley, not an athletic luminary, to be sure, but a plugger as the slang would express it, persistent, ambitious, ever seeking to better himself, to further his aims and to promote the interests of his college. As a student, his accomplishments far out-shine any of his extra-mural feats. ..In Sophomore his persistent efforts won for him the honor of being one of the class leaders, for which he received public recognition, and in Junior his brilliant and frank answers to Fr. McCluskey often thrilled and sometimes electrified the class. He has always striven to do his best and his best was received with honors. It is ambition such as this, that B. C. and the class of ' 26 loves to boast of and it takes great pride in sending forth into the world one of its candidates for honors, Pat Foley. f-ulton Debating Society, i.

POPULARITY has graced the careers of few individuals in this college as beneficently as it has Harry O ' Sullivan. Whether it is his radiant smile or his whole magnetic personality we know not, but we are sure that his in- dustriousness in collegiate activities has contributed much to the renown of Harry. If ever anyone wanted anything done the slogan was always let Harry do it. Thus he proved a most capable Treasurer in the Fulton. And as a member of the famous debating team which, with but two weeks preparation, completely routed Dartmouth, he has proven much better than words can picture why we have always let Harry do it. His specialty during the past four years has been his uncanny art of soliciting funds. And a real artist he is. A note book in one hand, a pencil in the other, a clever line of chatter, and you were licked before he started. Not content with collecting for everyone else at college, Harry sallied forth each sum- mer with the rest of the Pic boys, and made famous the name of O ' Sullivan throughout the countryside. In a few short months he will sally forth into the world once more, where we do not know. But we do know that wherever he goes he will work, be known, and be liked just as he worked, was known, and was liked here. And time will engrave on the pages of History the name of Brockton ' s own and ever popular Harry J. O ' Sullivan. Brosnahan. 1. Prize Debate. Marquette. I. Glee Club. 5. Fulton. 3.4. Prize Debate.

PAUL MELLEN ROCK 1 20 London Street East Boston, Mass. PAUL is our inheritance.. The clan of ' 26 has often been favored by kindly Fates — but no gift has been more generally appreciated by the members of our class than that gift we received in Senior when Paul returned to B. C. as one of our number. As Freshmen, few of us were acquainted with the talented Sophomore, whose dramatic ability and success in Fr. Murphy ' s production placed him among the leading Thespians of the college. In school and city newspapers we all had read glowing accounts of his skill and ease on the stage, and we may have wondered with awe — becoming our position at that time — if our class ever would produce such men. But never did we dream that before our grad- uation the object of this admiration would become one of us. Fate decreed however that such should be the case, for after his Sophomore year Paul went to Indiana where he spent two years in special study and then — on the second day of class as Seniors we were pleasantly surprised by hearing that familiar voice — powerful, clear, and excellently modulated — answering a question that had been addressed to Mr. Paul Rock. Besides his skill in dramatic work. Paul possesses fine powers as a speaker and debater. His training as an elocutionist aids him greatly in delivery, and his clear thought and logical analysis of argument render him formidable in debate. Our confidence in Paul is supreme. With such a personality, such a smile, such earnestness and ability — a place at the top is assured him. Marquette Debating. Z. Fulton Debating. 4. Dramatic Society. 1. 1. 4.

IN a class that boasted not a few excellent speakers Walter topped the list of those who devoted themselves to the art of oratory. We all remember the day when he made his first speech before an assembly at the Heights and swept the astounded members of the Marquette to their feet in a burst of applause. This initial success was merely the forerunner of many personal triumphs which Walter won by his eloquence. Always actively interested in the activities of the college he gave generously of his talent whenever called upon. In Junior he became a prominent member of the Fulton and the following year was honored with the presidency of the society. Under his leadership the organization took on a new lease of life and enjoyed the most successful season in recent years. As the result of Walter ' s zealous work, the membership list was more than filled and to satisfy the demands of an ever growing list of applicants the quota was enlarged. Num- erous lectures were delivered, radio debates were broadcast, and almost a dozen intercollegiate forensic contests arranged which resulted in many victories for Boston College. Withal Walter held high rank among the scholars, and in the field of de- bate he was ever prominent. By his earnest efforts in behalf of the Fulton and by his own gift of eloquence he brought honor to his class and college. Pass- ing from our midst into the environments of the legal profession Walter takes with him our hope and assurance that he will meet with the full measure of success that is his due.

JOE, according to his own statement, is a native of one of the most progres- sive parts of Boston. Ever loyal to South Boston, we may best describe his allegiance to Boston College by saying that in affection to his Alma Mater alone, is the pride which he takes in the Peninsula district surpassed. In way of proof of the devotion he has for the college, he has faithfully supported whatever activity she has espoused. He has always met with well merited success in his scholastic endeavors and has, at the same time, contributed in no small measure to the unusual string of victories that the class athletic teams have won. Especially in hockey did his ability assert itself and we have good cause to remember his noble work at the Arena during the past two seasons. We have it on good authority that he has chosen the teaching profession as his life ' s work. Of him we may say that his pupils can indeed consider them- selves fortunate, if his success as a student is any criterion of his ability as a teacher. We will always remember Joe as we have known him — a good student, a good athlete and a prince of good fellows. History Academy, 4. Class Hockey. 3.4. Class Baseball, 1. South Boston B. C.

YES sir, that portly gentleman whom you saw crossing the gridiron of Braves Field last fall with a football under each arm was Manager Leo O ' Hearn of Dorchester. For Leo started as Freshman football manager and worked his way along until he was elected Senior manager, the duties of which position he has performed so creditably that the manager-elect will indeed have diffi- culty in even approaching his standard of efficiency. With Henry Barry, brother beadle of the class, Leo was the victim of the Give us a break boys, the bane of a beadle ' s existence. Leo has been a great friend of the senior beadle of 1925 under whose guidance he learned the tricks of the trade so well that he pleased not only the Senior professors and Fr. Fitzpatrick, but the entire class as well. Such popularity must be deserved! As a defender of Boston Latin school, L. Edward was without a peer. He joined the business department of The Heights and was chosen to the position of treasurer in his Senior year. He intends to enter business school and has accordingly used The Heights and the football squad as stepping stones of experience to the attainment of the business success which we are sure will one day be his.

He who gazes with such benign under- standing from the melancholy orbs of a poeti ' Tis Costello, the valiant Democrat from South Boston, fearsome critic, mighty wit and glorious trencherman. It was a pleasure for a host of classmates to know and cultivate the friend- ship of this likeable lad. He was one of the knights of the road during the eventful sortie to Syracuse, a chemist of renown, a shrewd politician and re- servedly, to his intimates, a delightful and widely read book-lover. He was the bane and the joy of a dozen professors; the reprover and reproved of a score of classmates. No affair of moment, in the last four years but was commented upon and ably catalogued by the learned infants who comprised Michael ' s circle of friends and raconteurs. In addition Mr. Costello possessed a talent for ironic and truthful comment and a Celtic zest for life, whether pleasant or perverse. With such a personality and such gifts, Michael takes our kindest regards as he leaves us to remold a finer world.

WILLIAM HENRY MAHONEY, Jr. 73 DuNSTER Street Cambridge, Mass. FROM the University City came a youth, one Will Mahoney, who mounted the hill of learning with the same grim determination to conquer the bar- riers that impede progress to scholastic, athletic, and social heights which char- acterized his vivid prep school career. In all these fond ambitions Will has met with well-earned success. On his first appearance within the walls of Fr. Hohman ' s famous labora- tory, the youth showed an unusual propensity toward concocting and decoct- ing beautiful fluids, nauseous gasses and sparkling crystals. His fitness in scientific pursuits has been proven beyond all doubt. It will indeed be a sad loss to the field of chemistry should he not have the desire to apply himself to the investigation and research which we are confident will lead to his own success, benefit to the world at large and glory to his Alma Mater. Handicapped to some extent by his lack of weight. Bill struggled valiantly for three long winters in an endeavor to win a berth on the hockey team. His efforts were at last rewarded when, in his Senior year, he played an important part in the success which the team encountered in its games away from home, Will being the regular left defense man. It is well nigh impossible to designate the exact note of his personality that makes Bill the pleasant lad that he is. The fact remains that his good nature, his good fellowship and ready wit account in no small measure for the esteem in which this dimpled favorite from across the Charles is held by the entire class.

ABILITY to provide real humor and entertainment through a long acquain- tance with national celebrities has made Frank Dailey one of the most popular and interesting members of our class. Usually content to remain in the background, he is sometimes persuaded to abandon his role of taciturnity, on which occasions he invariably provokes genuine mirth with his brilliant and well-directed remarks. Far too often, however, the real humor of the broadcasts. for which he is famous, is confined to a favored group of friends. As a result of the active interest which he takes in the local contests, Frank is politically one of the best informed men in the class. His observations on this subject are accordingly shrewd and accurate. While his good-nature and political foresight are some of his more striking characteristics, there is another more serious side to Frank which stamps him as a typical graduate of ' 26. This is marked by a generous and unselfish spirit of good-fellowship that has distinguished his entire career at the Heights. Frank, may you ever meet with the same success that has characterized your every effort at college. May your prosperity be proportionate to your merit and ability.

Tom is a quiet, but likeable lad, with whom we immediately associate great intellectual capability, real character and an abundance of the true B. C. spirit. We do not wish, however, to convey the impression that Tom is a grind. Nothing could be further from the truth; but at the same time we cannot but have regard for a scholastic record such as his, marked as it is by the collection of untold medals and premiums. Tom is always among the leaders in other activities as well. Always ready and anxious to do whatever he can for the College, he is inevitably to be found wherever the interests of Alma Mater are at stake. Of course we could go on almost indefinitely telling you many interesting things about Tom ' s college days, but Tom is of the type that does not in the least enjoy praise and compliments of this nature. In looking to the future, we see nothing but success in store for Tom. His brilliant record as a scholar, a gentleman and a friend indicates in a small measure the esteem in which he is held by his classmates. Farewell Tom, Boston College can well be proud to call you her own. Brosnahan Debating Society, I. Marquette Debating. 2. History Academy. 4. Member of Charlestown B. C. Club. 1 . 2. 3, 4.

His favorite form of amusement during the past three years has been his weekly endeavor to tickle the fancy of Heights readers. As a member of the Editorial Board he has pleased the student body. His writings have been sparklingly alive and wide-awake, over-flowing with clever puns and happy epithets, yet forceful and true comments upon events and conditions in the life of the school, as he viewed it. The world was waiting for his messages, and he did not fail to deliver them. Besides this journalistic work, Stan has, throughout his entire college career, devoted much of his time and energy to track work. Perhaps no figure is better known about the track locker-rooms than that of our sandy-haired distance man. From a shaky, puffing, freshman jogger, he has developed into one of our finest cross-country and two-mile runners. The outstanding characteristic about Stan is that nothing half-way can satisfy him. RegarHless of the age or the prevalence of a custom, if it is not good, he has an unusual faculty of perceiving the evil in it, and never hesitates to voice his suggestion for improvement. Stan has enough initiative and energy to insure success to an ordinary in- dividual, but if he will direct and develop his extraordinary originality of thought and keenness for humor, no limits can mark the heights to which he may rise.

ARTHUR PATRICK MURRAY 54 RoxBURY Street Roxbury, Mass. FROM the portals of St. Ansclm ' s wc welcomed a quiet fair-haired lad four years ago, and Boston College was the richer by another talented and genial son. Arthur soon made known his mighty prowess in science by the frequency and audacity of his questions in Sophomore Chemistry. He added folly to daring by deliberately electing scientific studies for the next two years! In spite of this unfortunate predilection, Arthur soon won a warm place in the esteem of his classmates. The men are legion who count him a con- sistent, pleasant and generous friend. His collegiate car became nearly as well known as himself, and might be discerned at any time, a companion to his flitting over all parts of greater Boston as well as most points North, South and West. In the social world Arthur held no inconspicuous place. Few affairs of distinction were without his graceful and deboniar presence. And the facility with which he combined much study and wholesome recreation was the envy of all who vainly tried to emulate him. A good scholar, classmate and friend is our classification of Arthur Murray. His ability and personal gifts will make him a valuable man in whatever line of work he chooses as his life ' s calling. And on his journey he bears with him our sincerest wishes for success and happiness. Glee Club, 1. 4. Radio Club. 1. 2. Dramatic Association, 1.2. Fulton. 3. 4. Sub Tuvri. Business Staff 4.

WHEN in years to come, some pleasant hour of retrospection brings us back to college days and memory dwells upon the achievements of our classmates, we shall point with pride not only to those who represent our Alma Mater on the athletic field, but to those of our classmates who lead in other activities and whom we are proud to have as friends and associates. And surely a staunch friend to Alma Mater and to all his classmates is Charles Desloge O ' Malley. Charlie has been with us during our entire four year journey and in his first year showed his loyal spirit by joining the Glee Club and by offering his services as assistant manager of. baseball. He held his position with the baseball squad for three years, but a better chance to serve the class and college presented itself, and Charlie took up writing sports for the Boston papers and taking pictures. In this field of work he proved adept, and now as a Senior he has taken all the athletic pictures for the college at all the games, has spread the fame of Alma Mater far and wide by his newspaper articles and has distinguished himself in class activities by fulfilling the difficult position of Photographic Editor of Sub Turri. So then when graduation time comes around and Charlie leaves us to tread the path leading to the future and success, he carries with him the admira- tion and esteem of all the members of the class of ' 26, to whom he has endeared himself as a classmate and a friend.

GEORGE FRANCIS CONNORS 69 River Street East Dedham, Mass. BY means of a contagious smile and constant good humor, George has won his way straight to the heart of each one of his classmates. Some men win friends and admirers by feats of strength and athletic prowess, others do so by exhibitions of skill as speakers or writers, but George needed none of these accomplishments to gain our friendship and admiration. His method was his own — just a thoughtful word or question here — or a heart felt commendation there — and always that powerful smile. These were his instruments, and we can all testify to their effectiveness. The noteworthy quality in his makeup is that virtue of constancy and dependableness. While some of us fluctuate from high to dangerously low scholastic standing — George holds firmly to that steady rank among the leading students of the class. While some of us are moody or happy, just as the weather may affect us — George retains his winning, even temperamental state which seems inseparable from his very nature. And this same constancy and dependableness which has characterized his four years of scholastic endeavor has also been manifested in the class activities which he, as a member of various committees has been called upon to perform. Any task assigned to him could safely be considered as satisfactorily accomplished. If those same qualities of steadiness and dependableness coupled with his ability and personality which have marked his career throughout his four years with us will continue to mark his future undertakings, our minds will rest in ease as far as his success in life is concerned.

Man- ager extroardinary, cheer leader par excellence, athlete of no small ability, his talent seemingly knows no bounds. This is Jim Hickey as we have found him. One of the best known and best liked men in college, he is as unassuming as the day when he first attempted the steep ascent of the famous Heights. Jim never lets anything entrusted to his care go unaccomplished and consequently his executive talent has time and again been recognized in the various tasks which have been assigned to him. His enthusiasm in all affairs which have for their aim the welfare of the college speaks for itself. He can well be cited as one of the representative members of the class. We are confident that, when Jim completes his course and enters into the life of the world, his career there will be signalized with the same success that has accompanied his activities at college. If this be the case, and we are sure that such it will be, his future is assured. Glee Club, 2.3. Assistant Track Manager. 1 . I. 3. Varsity Track Manager. 4. Cheerleader. 3. 4. Dramatics, 3. Pres.

WHILE the list of a man ' s activities may show the breadth of his interests .they say nothing as to the depth of them. Tliis observation is applic- able to the gentleman whose pleasant countenance lends brightness to this precious page. During Charley ' s sojourn with us on the Heights we came to recognize his ability to devote his efforts wholeheartedly to whatever cause he attached himself. Although he extended loyal cooperation to all student affairs and took a real interest in the studies of the class room. Charley early manifested a fond- ness for debate that led him to concentrate on this difficult art. In Freshman he set himself to the task of acquiring facility in public speaking and with char- acteristic earnestness accomplished his purpose. In senior, Charley took a leading part in the ambitious program of the Fulton and was elected an officer of the society during the second term. But there is also a lighter side to this picture. It is rumored that he was wont to make frequent excursions into the gay social world and at these lapses all Woburn paid homage to his presence. With such qualities that please and at the same time command respect, we feel assured that Charley is destined to attain the success which ability and willing effort deserve. Brosnahan. 1. Marquette.

HERE we have a charming, unassuming youth in the person of Jim Lally. It was in the year twenty-two that Jim came into our midst only to find himself shuffled about with all us Frosh, The Fall season of that same year had not passed when Jim embarked on the sailboat of true friendship. Endearing himself to each member of the class, Jim always had the right spirit in lending a helping hand to whatever class activity took place. We suppose it ' s a common thing for all great men to have at hand the adages of the sages — Jim was always a great one for adages and for that we ought justly place him in the category of the wise. Many a time indeed we listened to this youth expostulate the maxims of the ages — filled as they were with much good thought and wisdom. Then we recall those memorable days of physics lab, where we were glad to have Jim as a co-worker. Outside of the classroom, at Braves Field, at the Arena, at the debating contests, at social functions, always has Jim ' s smiling countenance greeted us. Jim always believed that actions spoke louder than words and although of quiet attitude and modest, he has aided greatly in making 1926 the most famous class at the Heights. May your future be one of continuous prosperity, Jim. We leave you but shall not forget you as a true friend, student, gentleman, and a real pal — a worthy representative of Alma Mater.

Track 1.2. 1 9 SUB T ' UERI ' I THOMAS FRANCIS CAVANAUGH Coulter Street Oakville, Conn. FROM Oakville, Conn., by way of Boston College High School, Tom arrived at the Heights with a reputation as a great runner. This repu- tation he still carries with him, for he has improved with age. During his first three years of running under Coach Ryder, Tom has proved himself a plugger from start to finish. Each year seems to find him improved until now he finds himself among leaders in the chase for intercollegiate honors in the mile, being second in I. C. A. A. A. A. mile no less than 3 times. A hero of a great many races, the holder of a 4.17% mile, a member of that famous two mile relay team, a member of the four mile and medley relay teams and a place winner in the intercollegiates for three years is but a brief history of some of the accomplishments of track captain, Tom. A quiet fellow with a thought for the future always in his head, a man well worthy of being our track captain and a man who, we all know, will be a success in whatever path of life he will choose — a credit and a glory to the name of Boston College. Track. 1. 2. 3, 4. Junior Football Team. 3. THOMAS JOSEPH COSTIGAN 8 Sachem Street Oakville, Conn. WITH the name ' Fritz ' Costigan must go baseball and base hits. To separate the two would be as illogical as to separate Father Fitzpatrick from his whistle. It simply isn ' t done. From the moment ' Fritz ' left his little prep school down in Pennsylvania, his sole theme was Boston College baseball. In his Freshman year ' Fritz ' divided his time between debating and base- ball, with over-emphasis on the latter, and for four years this unequal division continued. His heavy hitting earned for him an outfield position in his Junior year and thereafter his playing was one of the features of the crack Eagle nine. Baseball, however, was not everything in his life, much as he loved the sport. He was an earnest scholar and a sincere B. C. booster. His splendid qualities he revealed only to his most intimate friends. In short, he was the kind a fellow would choose in a pinch as one who would ' go thru, ' a chap you ' d be proud to call, My Pal.

Every Saturday afternoon throughout the football and baseball season he can be seen down on the field cheering for the Maroon and Gold. Hockey is Mai ' s desert and he does as much towards gaining a victory as the team itself. He is one of the famous four who came from Boston Latin and who have made a name for themselves in B. C. O ' Hearn, Barry, Hart, and Prendergast. The college has reason to be proud of these four sons. As a member of the senior football team and with the assistance of the whole squad he gave the deciding touchdown to the Junior victory. In the study hall he says he never cracks a book. but the Dean told us once to beware of those fellows who tell you they never crack a book. They usually take the prizes for the year. We guess that he is right, because Mai gets some of the best marks in the class. By a resolution adopted by the class at the last meeting, be it resolved .that Malachi Prendergast is a true and inspiring representative of the Senior class of Boston College. Dorchester B. C.

A KEEN debater, a brilliant scholar, and a true gentleman, are just a few of the qualities which characterize Frank. It is really a problem, however to point your finger at this or that activity with Frank has undertaken and state with certainty that any particular accomplishment of his foreshadows his future life work. He is so adept, so versatile that success seems to be a necessary consequence of his every endeavor. That one so modest, and unpretentious should at the same time be so adept on the platform of public speaking, so prominent in class activities, and so clever a salesman, as his summerwork has shown him to be borders on the paradoxical. But the prize for real achievement was won by Frank when he successfully filled the office of chairman of our big Junior Smoker. We imagine that on the night that Frank debated over the radio, the streets of that, quiet little village of Wakefield were deserted during the period of his speech. Then out of the stillness of the night, the villagers burst in full num- bers into Main Street, eager to learn whether the others had listened to the address of their native son. The class of 1926 feels that it can point with full confidence to Frank as a man of proven ability as a student, as an enthusiastic worker in class activities, and as a public speaker. Brosnahan. I.

PERHAPS the most effective tribute which a fellow classmate may pay to Dick is to call attention to the list of activities in which he was partici- pant and leader. From the verse-writing days of Freshman to the essay bur- dened semesters of Senior he advanced from honor to honor and gained the covetous offices and appointments that fall to the capable and deserving few. From the very outset we recognized in him that driving power of earnestness which pursues a task to its desired completion. Dick ' s capacity for work — it might be more aptly termed the gift of intelligent effort — was given generously in the service of the organizations of which he was a member. Wisely, he concentrated in no single field to the exclusion of all others, but found time to engage in widely diversified activities. It is true that in debating he was especially prominent and gave much of his talent to the service of the Marquette and Fulton. Yet Dick was a leader in the classroom also, as well as a prefect of Sodality. Perchance the secret of his success lay in the fact that he saw the full meaning and purpose of his college career and with this clear vision once formed one may expect from a man the best that is in him. To his sincerity and recognized high ideals is attributable the respect and esteem which we, his classmates pay him. If in his future profession as teacher, Dick can impart to his pupils some of his own qualities of heart and mind they will have gained from their contact with a truly admirable character.

LEO ELLIS MONAHAN 218 Bradstreet Avenue Beachmont, Mass. IN every class that enters college and establishes for itself a reputation for doing things there must always be a group of silent workers whose cooperation IS a vital element in successfully carrying out the class program. To this group we must assign the gentleman who is the subject of this brief appreciation. Leo is not of that aggressive type which pushes itself into prominence but rather of a quiet, somewhat reserved disposition that gains friendships of an enduring kind. With a pleasant word for everyone and an engaging smile Leo won his way into the comradeship of his classmates. The only time we can remember seeing him wearing an anxious, worried look was immediately preceding the examination in chemistry. But with that terrible ordeal passed. Leo ' s usual urbanity returned and for the past two years his smile has taken on an added geniality if that be possible. What time he found available after the stern demands of class work had been met with, Leo divided between debating and athletics. In many gruelling races his grit carried him along to a strong finish on the heels of the leaders. No matter what calling Leo may select as his life work we wish him the success that his pleasant disposition and his willing effort deserves. Brosnahan. 1. Dramatics. 1. Track. I. 1. 3. 4.

ART came to us from St. John ' s Prep in the fall of 1922, possessed of exceptional running ability and a fiery determination to give the name of Lawrence a place in the sun. Well do we say that he succeeded. His standing as a sprinter was soon recognized, when in Freshman year many of the country ' s foremost dash men were forced to read his number. It is safe to predict that he will go a long way in the drug trade, his chosen profession, for it was no uncommon sight in Junior or Senior to see Art trudging out of the chem lab at five P. M. when the Heights were almost deserted. Even then, despite the great difficulties under which he was forced to work, he found time to keep up his track work. If you happen to walk into the track room at any recess, you will invariably find Arthur munching an apple to keep the doctor away and at the same time discussing philosophy or ' track- ology, ' subjects on which he is a recognized authority. We know that his sunny smile and hearty handshake will accomplish great results for him in his future career, even as they have won him the friend- ship and respect of the entire student body.

BESIDES commuting daily from Haverhill, participating in five different extra-curriculum activities, maintaining a high average in studies, being president of the Haverhill B. C. Club, and writing two thirds of the Heights editorials, we presume that Connie Moynihan ate and slept daily, but try as we may, wc fail to see where he found time for these rather important functions. Connie, with the curl in the middle of his forehead, was well known as a debater of real merit by the members of the Fulton during the past two years, but where he spent most of his time was at a typewriter in the Heights office, pounding out sagacious words of wisdom for the student body at large, to be broadcast through the medium of the editorial column. From the year 1924 to 1926, the Heights editorial columns were ranked among the best in collegiate circles and the credit for this is due in no small measure to Connie. With all his activity, however, Connie has still found time to place well among the leaders in his studies. Such brilliancy of mind is surely deserving of reward and will, no doubt, be amply rewarded in the success which we are sure that Connie is to attain in whatever occupation he may choose as his life ' s work.

If we are to sonally we are sceptical Who ever heard of art in musical comedies? From early youth, as the biographers would say. ' Pete ' showed a decided taste for drawing and cartooning. Upon arriving at the Heights ' Pete ' found a wonderful opportunity for practice, and ' Pete ' was never one to miss an oppor- tunity. The Stylus quickly recognized the need of such a pen-and-pamt man. Subscriptions were not coming in rapidly enough. Snappy cartoons alone could bring results. Into the breech strode ' Pete ' armed with pen and brush. Subscriptions began to pile in immediately. The Stylus was saved. ' Pete ' became a college character and Stylus Staff Artist in one fell swoop. But not alone as an artist and a theatrical critic did Dame Fortune smile upon ' Pete ' . As a debater and a student ' Pete ' was one of the best. In the hallowed precincts of The Stylus. Pete ' s word was law. When Wisdom spoke. Ignorance remained silent. We ' re going to miss ' Pete.

Hart, Managing Editor of ' The Heights, as the man who spent the greater part of his time during the past year, cutting galley proofs, pasting up a dummy, writing headlines, proof-reading the entire paper and numerous other routine duties about which the uninitiated know little or nothing. Those who have been permitted to look behind the scenes and have seen Maurice working into the early, and frequently the late hours of the morning have thought that he has had a thankless job. But Maurice must feel rewarded in the knowledge that he has performed real service and we, in behalf of the student body, thank you. Maurice, for the splendid product of many laborious hours. Bill Consodine induced Maurice to write for The Heights. and Maurice blossomed forth as a feature writer and a dependable one when a long story was needed. His prognostications of track meets were indeed remarkable and brought him great fame. In Junior his splendid chairmanship of the Junior Pictorial clinched for him the position of Managing Editor of the Heights in his Senior year. We cannot but feel certain that Maurice will succeed in his future endeavors because the perseverance which he displayed in the interests of The Heights have shown him that hard work is the principal means of obtaining success and he is not afraid of hard work.

WHO is that tall, smiling, jaunty fellow who roams through the college seeking whom he may befriend? He is equally welcomed everywhere, whether it be at the Dean ' s office, the Heights, Stylus, or any other. You know him just as well as I, but you did not previously know that he was the first member of our class to join a B. C. activity. Henry F. Barry is the one who truly bears this unique distinction. Before school had begun in our freshman year. Henry had reported for duty as a freshman manager of football. Henry served faithfully for three years as an assistant manager, but at the end of his third year was one of the unfortunates in the election. In his second year Henry became a member of both the Heights and Stylus staffs. He wrote sports for the Heights, and sports, essays, and alumni notes for the Stylus. As a member of the Junior Pictorial Committee he rendered great service to the class, as the success of the Pictorial may be directly attributed to him, through his work in procuring advertising. As a result of his success in this matter, Henry was elected to the position of Advertising Manager of the Heights, and at the same time became a member of the second board of the Stylus. As beadle and as a member of the Dues Committee in his senior year, he was a great asset to the class. It might well be said of Henry that he has more friends than any other member of the class.

STEPHEN ALOYSIUS KOBALINSKI 192 Boston Street Dorchester, Mass. AS this collegiate biography is meant for posterity, then let us give to posterity as good as possible a pen picture of our hero ' s outstanding college activity. Stephen in his first year was much the average freshman, excepting, that, with a minimum of study, he attained a maximum of marks. He had a smoldering ambition to make the football team. Like the Spartan lad, he harbored this burning desire for one whole year — and in Sophomore, unable to bear any longer its stabbing flames, he reported for practice. He reported every day for practice , and became a fervent addict of the slogan, Practice makes Perfect , tho he often wondered if it did not also make corpses. Junior year — outside a few minor games, was much the same. Senior, too, was as discouraging — until about three weeks before the H. C. game. Then rumor started a-flying. It said, in soft whispers, that the lowly sub-center, would start. But conservatives maintained that Experience and Brawn, ad in- finitum, was needed to bring down the fast Purple backs — and Kobo had none of these qualifications. But. to make a long story short, Steve did start the game — played most of it. One paper named him All New England Center; even the taciturn Major smiled upon him, and. all in all. it was a glorious finish to a hard struggle — and Steve deserved it. Football. 2. 3, 4. Secretary South Boston B. C. Club. 3. 4. WILLIAM RICHARD CRONIN Hersey Street Hingham, Mass. MANY a man has been able to hide his Hght behind a screen of bashfulness and successfully avoid the honors that might have been his. Bashfulness is one of the predominant characteristics of Bill Cronin but never has it been able to conceal the true hearted Bill that existed behind that bashful half smile of his. Bill is an athletic hero of no mean ability. He was a football star for Major Cavanaugh for- three years, playing a superb game, especially on the defensive, in every contest in which the Eagle engaged. Baseball however was Bill ' s real forte. He played third base during his first years at the Heights and was an aggressive guardian of the far corner. His hitting was the best of the team. In Junior, Bill was switched over to second base and continued his great hitting and fielding there. It was in the Worcester game of the Holy Cross series of that same Junior year that Bill made athletic history. The historical fact was a home run, not a great deal in itself, but very great in location and time. Bill stepped into one of Owen Carroll ' s fast balls and put it into the Blackfoot River for a home run. It was one of the very few homes runs that were made off the Holy Cross pitcher in his four years of college baseball. In addition, it was the first Fitton Field home run to reach the river. Bill was elected captain of the baseball team for his Senior year and the nine that has represented the college during the past spring was well worthy of its great leader, a real sportsman and a true friend.

THE City of Churches never sent to the Hub a more Ukeable student or a more persevering athlete than it did when Eddie Harrison came on to Boston College. Big Ed entered Freshman unknown to all his classmates. In a few short weeks the fame of his football ability had spread. Not upon this only were the foundations of his many friendships laid, but upon the earnest, cheerful disposition that made him so likeable. Eddie ' s career at the Heights is one of athletic achievements. He played an end position on the four football teams coached by Major Cavanaugh in the years from 1922 to 1925. In the fall of his Junior year, Eddie was seriously injured. This injury forced him out of the Holy Cross game and it was thought out of football. The prognosticaters reckoned without their host, however, and the following fall found Eddie out for football; not only out for football but playing the best game of his four seasons as a regular end. Basketball was a winter diversion for Ed in Freshman and Sophomore when he played guard on the first team. He was elected captain for his Junior year and although kept out of the game by a football injury had the pleasure of watching his five defeat Holy Cross. A fitting epilogue to this brief article would be the words of the Dean, as we remember them in Sophomore when he described Ed as — A scholar as well as an athlete and a gentleman.

Accordingly then it is but fitting for our class to con- tribute its share to the commemoration of that famous view. With this in mind, let us introduce you to Mr. James A. Sullivan of Maiden. Jim is well worthy of representing the Sullivan clan, as is witnessed by the variety of the activities listed under his name. Few indeed are the enterprises with which he has not been connected in some capacity. Athletically he has found time to engage in track work, as well as rendering valuable service to the baseball team as an assistant manager. In the more intellectual side of collegiate life, Jim has been a faithful member of the History Academy, in addition to being a contributing editor of the Stylus, a member of the debating societies and of the Glee Club. As though this were not enough Sul also entered upon a social career of no small achievement. This was especially manifested by his activities in behalf of the Maiden B. C. Club. Jim has indeed been active in behalf of class and college alike. We con- gratulate him upon the excellence of his record and we offer him our best wishes for the successful future which must inevitably await one of such energy and ability. Good-bye, Jim. and good luck. ' W Asst. Baseball Manager. 1. History Academy. 4. Track. Stylus. 4. Sec. and Treas. Maiden B. C. Club. Brosnahan. I. Glee Club. 2. 2.

' ' If you did, you found you were not the first to arrive, for Frank was always there ahead of you. Bright and early was his slogan and never late. Frank is the embodiment of a vast store of energy and never seemed to lose his supply. His activity was always manifest and he was ever on the alert, fearless and undaunted whenever a call for action came. His physical stamina has served him well and enabled him to cope with the exacting demands of his college course. His active mind was quick to perceive the essentials of his subjects and to retain and analyze points of importance. He was able to expoxlnd his opinions at the proper time, yet always suited his action to the occasion. When he was called upon to fill an office of responsibility in Senior, he executed his duties with an exactness and faithfulness which reflected to his honor and credit. As you go out and mingle with the world of men, Frank, your ceaseless energy will be your most valuable asset. When you direct this along lines of production your accomplishments will be manifold and your achievements noteworthy. When the future grants, we sliall meet again, we shall be glad to greet you. our old classmate. Frank. irSuwriiRferi ' FRANCIS STANISLAUS RUSSELL Plainville, Mass. FRANK is one of the leading and most promising men in the class. His paramount claim to fame is the enviable reputation he has established for himself as an energetic advertising man and a real business executive. His successful business management of this Sub Turri is his latest and greatest achievement. If any of you had trailed smiling Frank from the Heights, to the Athletic Association, to the Sub Turri office, you will readily testify to his ability and usefulness. Frank ' s college career is best summed up in the words, He was Frank. Unexplained: this does not do him justice. To explain it means that his vim and vigor, frankness, integrity, business ability, and betimes scholarship must be recorded in a manner distinctive of him. If we fail to do him justice it is because of our limitations, unable to appreciate, in their entirety, his numerous accomplishments. Frank was no less capable after the duties of his classes and extra-curriculum activities were done. Between long journeys to and from Plainville, he managed to find time for frequent excursions to Aggassiz Hall, Louis Pasteur Avenue, the Fenway, Arlington Heights, the Conservatory and other spots whither his social obligations led him. But these are the fond memories of his college days which are his treasures and, more properly, his secrets. However, we know he is prepared to enter the battle of life, to do his part well and to enjoy its rewards. Marquette Debating Society . 1. Track. 1.2. Cross Country Team. . 2. Heights Staff. 1.

DEDHAM the home of athletes par excellence has in Smiling Jim another representative. Oke came out to the Heights with quite a reputation as a ball player.

With the grace of the true sport that he is. James accepted the frown of Dame Fortune as he would have welcomed her smile. When the rigors of Chem became too tough for most of the boys, the small group that had courage enough to elect Chem numbered Oke among its members. The smile that cloaked the tenacity of purpose which is Jim ' s most prominent characteristic routed the ogre, Chemistry. It does not take a prophet to tell what is in store for Jim.

WE have oft been told that the friendships developed during our college years are sometimes forgotten and lost sight of during the busy years after graduation. While we place but little credence in this statement, even as a general principle, we are absolutely certain that, in at least one instance, it does not apply. For it is our most positive conviction, and we feel that there are a host of others who will agree, that anyone who has the good fortune of know- ing Joe Driscoll will never entirely forget him. Seldom indeed has one the opportunity of meeting such a likeable and wholehearted fellow. His good nature and carefree exterior conceal an earnest sincerity and an honest good will, which makes his friendship an object to be sought and cher- ished. Joe ' s entire four years of college activity have been characterized by a true spirit of cooperation and good-fellowship, and these are the qualities which have won for him such an enviable place in the esteem of his classmates. In the matter of studies, he has always maintained a high standard, and his ability in this field is attested by that splendid comeback of his. in the early part of the year, after several weeks absence, due to a severe accident in which he assumed the feature role. We can but repeat what we said in the beginning, that the memory of Joe Driscoll as a perfect gentleman and a real friend will never leave us. Brosnahan Debating. I. Secretary-Treasurer. 4. Newton B.

He is without doubt one of the best known men in our class and is as popular as he is well known. The Brosnahan and Marquette claimed most of his spare time in Freshman and Sophomore and in these societies he worked hard and attained a marked ability as a public speaker. In Junior and Senior Chris did much to promote the fame and good name of the Fulton. He served as a valuable member of the Stylus business staff and could always be relied upon to contribute his share to the activities of which he was a member. Chris, when we have forgotten many other details of our career at the Heights, we will remember you. In parting let us extend our best wishes to one who has ever been a friend to us all. Brosnahan.

Jake, as we know him, believes in the old axiom that Silence is golden. A man who can hold his tongue makes no enemies and we can say that Jake ' s career at the Heights has been one marked with peace and tranquillity. A dependable fellow is he, and a friend in the true sense of the word. In his own modest manner he has won his way into the hearts of his classmates and without the blare of trumpets or the splendor of parade he has won for himself scholastic success. Success which no one can take from him in years to come. His fame at home is founded on his athletic ability and we understand that on the town gridiron he shows his spurs and elusiveness when bearing the brunt of attack and defense of his pick-up teams.

RAY is a member of that great joyous band of commuters who seem to thrive on the hardships of early rising and long hours of travel. From the far distant time of Freshman until the recent pleasant days of Senior, Ray went through the daily grind with a spirit of perseverance worthy of commenda- tion. Despite the demands on his time he always managed to take an active share in class affairs, although naturally quiet and reserved. As a member of the band, Ray showed decided musical talent. Versed as he is in the mysterious intricacies of the wailing saxaphone, his services added much to the reputation of this well known organization. The band made a decided hit with the crowds at the football games and conspicuous among the maroon clad musicians was the light haired saxaphone artist. In the classroom, Ray sat in with that august body of distinguished men, Sullivans all. In the discussions arising on deep, philosophical questions he always gave good account of himself. But it was as vice-president of the B. C. Lowell Club that Ray proved his popularity and executive ability. The notable social functions of this active organization owed much of their success to his efforts. Although we do not know what lifework Ray intends to pursue, we feel confident that with his air of quiet efficiency he will accomplish his aims. The best wishes of his friends and classmates follow him at the parting of the ways. Band. 3. 4. Lowell B. C. Club. Vice-President. 4. ' £. y  s ' e 5 s THOMAS GERARD HENNESSY 86 Marathon Street Arlington, Mass. HAPPY Jiggs is one of the group that came to Boston College from the James Street Prep, school in the fall of 1922. Quiet and reflective, never boisterous, but ever calm, he has a keen sense of humor that accounts for the many friends he makes wherever he goes. In class, Jiggs shines with unusual brightness and no one can remember when he gave an unsatisfactory recitation. We lesser lights are prone to blush at our ignorance and at the same time we have a feeling of pride at having so fine a student as Jiggs for pal. His strong points are especially scientific lines and in particular Chemistry and Biology. He could be found almost any afternoon in the laboratory examining the cartcx of the cerebellum, or of some strange animal, or performing some other profound experiment in Chemistry. In Somerville. he has been a prominent member of the B. C. Club and reports from that vicinity indicate that Jiggs plays a leading role in Somerville ' s social life. A keen student with an analytic mind, he shows every sign of a wonderful future in medicine, his chos en field. Go to it Jiggs. a brilliant career awaits you. Brosnuhun Debating Society. 1.

Each day for the past four years, he, in company with countless others, journeyed from the University city to University Heights. Once he arrived, his time was occupied in many and diverse ways, chief of which perhaps, consisted in making life miserable for Joe Regan, his boon companion. Although Tom has never won any medals, he has nevertheless achieved no small amount of success in his studies. When the marks were read, Tom ' s were invariably more than satisfactory. In addition he possessed athletic ability of exceptional calibre, having quite a reputation as an amateur basketball player. As his college career draws to a close, Tom may be assured of the well wishes of the class for his future prosperity. That he will succeed we have no doubt. That he will excell is our fondest hope. JOHN FRANCIS McMAHON 10 Cross Street Somerville, Mass. JOHN is one of the most popular men that the noble city of Somerville has ever sent to the Heights. Those who are close in his acquaintance know that Jock, while maintaining an interest in all things scholastic, manages nevertheless to devote no small amount of time to whatever extra-curricular activity the college may see fit to sponsor. Mac can usually be found in some corner of the lunchroom with three or four friends, weighing the fate of nations, making metaphysical distinctions or settling some difficult point of law, but withal is very modest, even to the point of shyness. He, with the famous Pa Regan formed the class Damon and Pythias. Wherever the one went, the other could invariably be found. To see John in earnest conversation with Joe was a sight which boded ill for the unfor- tunate victim of their plot. John is one of the best fellows with whom we have had the pleasure of associating during our college career. Wherever he may go, whatever work he may undertake, he may be assured that we, his classmates will not forget him. History Academy. 4. Glee Club, 1. Somerville B. C. Club. 1 , I. 3. 4.

THE unseen, guiding hand behind this year ' s Sub Turri is here before us. The man to whose artistry and versatiUty this volume is a magnificent, undying tribute. The human dynamo whose very name was synonymous with the progress of the Class — T. Everett McPeake. The Sub Turri of this year will be remembered as a personal triumph of T. Everett ' s, a testimonial to his discrimination and good taste. Yet the Sub Turri is but a single, concrete embodiment of his tireless energy. His college activities were legion. The Stylus, the Heights, the Fulton Debating Society, the Glee Club, the Dramatic Club — in a word, every organization of Boston College at some period of his college career felt the brilliancy of his personality, and profited by the impetus of his power and judgment. And withal his studies suffered not, for whenever honors were announced his name was always there, high on the list. Surely he of all our classmates can graduate leaving behind no regrets for wasted hours. He indeed can truly say that he enjoyed college life to its fullest measure. We who worked with him, studied with him, and played with him know full well his high ideals, his sterling ability, and unswerving loyalty. We drink to your health, Everett: To the most affable and sincere of our fellow workers — to a regular fellow and the pal of the most glorious days of our lives — T. Everett McPeake.

Handicapped by injuries and lack of weight, he won the admiration of us all for his courage and fighting spirit, which are essentials in the make-up of every good football player. Frank succeeded in winning the coveted ' football letter in his Senior year when he saw service in the Holy Cross rout. Many an afternoon before practice would start, Frank could be found playing the piano, surrounded by many of our gridiron heroes. Boxing was another sport that he enjoyed and many of his opponents in the amateur ranks can testify to his ability in this line. Baseball and basketball were other sports that he played with marked ability. No matter how busy he was with athletics, Frank never neglected his studies. This fact was clearly manifested by his rank among the leading students of the class. In short, Frank could justly be cited as one of our student-athletes. His happy temperament and keen sense of humor have always marked him as a worthy object of our esteem. Many times when things seemed all wrong, a cheery word from him was all that was needed to dispel our troubles. We feel that the effectiveness of his pleasing disposition, along with his ability, is bound to establish his success in life, no matter what field he may choose to enter. Football. 1, 2. 3. 4.

His remarkable athletic ability and aggressiveness was at once -perceived by Coach Cavanaugh under whose careful guidance Okie has risen to that fame and prominence which he so well merits. A record of thirty-five successive games which is unsurpassed in the col- legiate world is held by none other than our own Okie. His efforts have not been confined alone to the football field for we find him the cartoonist of The Heights. Basketball also claimed him for two years as he again showed his athletic prowess in the outstanding defeats of Holy Cross. To keep in condition during the summer months, Okie acts as life guard at Rockwell Park, Bristol, Conn, where he is the idol of all. Last, but not least we shall have John Grattan O ' Connell as a student and friend whom we shall always look forward to meet at our reunions. We feel sure that Okie will achieve the same success in life which he has so nobly attained on the foot- ball teams. Football. 1 . 2. 3. 4. Heights Staff. 3. 4. Cartoonist. Basketball. I. 1.

THE statement has been made that people whose embonpoint is rather pro- nounced are inclined to slowness and to mental sluggishness, and it has been commonly accepted as one of those theories the authenticity of which is beyond question. As a living refutation stands John M. Keating. To all who have known him throughout his career, Rollo has always been a keen-minded, keen-witted student, one whose mental action has been equalled only by those of the class whose achievements stand as ideals which the average student looks to and sighs for in vain. But it is not only in college activities that Rollo has shown. In his home town he is regarded as an oracle on any and all subjects, ranging from the cause of the increased foreign trade of the United States to the intricacies of the great national outdoor pastime. His fellow townsmen are proud of his achieve- ments, and well they may, for Rollo is an embryonic politician, one who his friends expect will some day occupy the mayor ' s chair in Lynn City Hall. If the many elections which he has engineered while at college serve as a criterion of his vote-getting ability, John will surely gain the reward of his political activities by being placed in some honored position in his city or state. And so, Rollo . your classmates join with your townsmen in wishing you every possible success in your future, and whether in business or in politics, may you reach the top, the goal of your life.

IN four years of college we have never come across a better student, a better fellow than Joe Sullivan. Being of the quiet type, Joe never expressed himself in verbose language that could be heard above the immediate person to whom he was speaking. Joe was a steady student and has made an enviable scholastic record throughout his four years of college. Men, he withstood the fiery questions and heart-breaking examinations of the well-known Mr. Bouw- huis S. J., in Freshman and that speaks for the man himself. Quiet Joe chose to take pre-med studies beginning his Junior year and like others in that course he did not have much time to participate in outside activities. Joe will make a fine doctor, for he has that pleasing personality and the ability to gain one ' s confidence immediately. These are very necessary factors for a successful physician and are found at their best in this man. And so in the future, Joe, we wish you the best of success; to a man who deserves it. to a man who has striven hard for it and to one that will always be among the best in any line there is. Good luck, and may your future be as happy and successful as your past has been. Band. I. 2. 3. 4. Glee Club. 1. 2. Marquette. 1. B. C. Club of Cambridge. 1 . 2. S. 4. History Academy. 4.

Vermont IF California is entitled to thousands of Native Sons , then Bellows Falls, Vt. deserves at least one. and Ownie is our nomination. He is the nearest approach to Frank Merriwell in college ranks today. ' Tis said that there never was a game invented that he couldn ' t play and scintillate in the execution thereof, and his record is surely an enviable one. Coming from the same hills as did President Coolidge, there is considerable discussion in the villages and hamlets there as to which is the more illustrious son. He came here from St. Michael ' s Prep, and from the day he first set foot onto the athletic field, he ha.s been the idol of the Boston College rooters and supporters. On the football field, basketball court, track or diamond, he was equally at home, and a major portion of the athletic triumphs of Boston College during the past three years could be attributed to the ability of this lad. Newspapers never could pay tribute to Owen ' s versatility. Anything that he ever undertook he liandled with the finesse of an expert. That he will show the same ability in dealing with the varied affairs of later days, we confidently expect, and if he decides to follow an athletic career we feel certain that Boston College may well be proud of him.

ODESTY seems to have been one of the traits of the Vincent family, for Leon possesses that virtue in a high degree. However, at any time he was called upon to display his knowledge, he never failed either professor or student and always passed the highest expectations of anyone by his brilliant recitations. For two years Leon was classified as a pre-med student, but realizing the advantages of a complete philosophic training he decided to complete his four years. It is no spirit of flattery that causes us to mention that the college has had no better man in the field of Biology and Chemistry. His records for four years bear witness to this statement, for his marks are unsurpassed. In fact the faculty recognized his ability and appointed him technician in the Biology lab., a position that requires no slight knowledge. In other fields of endeavor he applied himself with the same earnestness and achieved good success. Among the boys, Leon was always classed as a good fellow and welcomed to any party. Knowing him for a gentleman in the true sense of the word and a most likeable fellow, we predict the brilliant success his talents promise. Success! EDWARD JOHN HAWLEY Farmington Ave, Unionville, Conn. DID you ever ask a favor of Ed Hawley We who did. have never known him to refuse us. In fact, a refusal would be incompatible with his generous and kindly spirit, for his big-hcartedness and good nature was ever ready to help the needy. Ed was ever a steady and conscientious student and one who sought knowledge for its own sake — not for its obtrusive display. We who worked with him know his earnestness and diligence and know how his perseverance overcame all obstacles which opposed him. Idle moments found no place in his college days, but he never refused to spend a few moments with a classmate and to strengthen the bond of friendship. We who enjoyed the privilege of his intimate friendship found him a reliable and dependable friend as well as a trust- worthy and loyal comrade. Well do we remember him as the star cornetist in the band and his strong, clear notes as he sent them reverberating down Braves Field. Neither can we omit the success he achieved on the cinders by his usual consistent work. In a short space of time he proved his value and was among those who represented Alma Mater in Philadelphia and New York meets. Keep up your fine work, Ed, we have confidence in you and we know that success will be yours. Orchestra. 1. Band. I. 3. 4. Basketball. 3. Track. 4. Librarian, 4. Member Unionville, Conn. B. C.

THE handsome youth who gazes at you from this page first saw the Ught of day in the historic city of Somerville, famed for its seven hills. Coming from B. C. High, he at once became popular with his classmates as evidenced by his unanimous election as. Captain of the Freshman baseball team. D.uring his Sophomore and Junior years he made a determined bid for a regular position on the varsity, being forced out of competition only after the hardest kind of a struggle and by the most brilliant achievements on the part of the regulars. Outdone in college by the wealth of material, he nevertheless won no small amount of fame for himself as one of Somerville ' s foremost amateur athletes. Pete ' s college career is now over, but if he shows that same determination in the outside world, that we admired in college, he can not help but be a success. And when the class returns for its annual gatherings we know that your face will be there Pete, for one who has tried so hard for his Alma Mater cannot forget her when he has left her care.

His steady ways did not give place for any startling prominence, but has friendship was a boon for all those who possessed it. Georgie was always careful to attend to his duties as a college student and it was in the classroom he realized these paramountly lay. Consequently, it was his chief consideration to follow faithfully the procedures indicated by his professors in the courses he pursued here. When classes were at length dis- missed he could be found chatting cheerfully with some pals in the corridors, and. always ready with a warm smile to greet the passer-by. His generous good nature was ever ready to accept the newcomer and his circle of friends was never too large. And Georgie never suffered because of his agreeable traits and his sincere good fellowship. We know that as he enters his, chosen career he will bring with him qual- ities that are of the best. His aptitude for painstaking work and his conscientious observance of paths of duty will stand him in good stead. His good nature will assure his success, and a success that will be true and lasting while at the same time in aqcord with his calm and quiet self. Member of Fulton Debattnc Society. 4.

THE old saying that dynamite comes in small packages is truly exemplified in the case of Rick, as he is commonly known. Anyone who has come in contact with this man knows a dynamic personality. (He came to Boston College from Lynn English four long years ago where he made an enviable scholastic record. ) At the college he chose to follow a scientific course and in- dulged in the monotony of the lab, day in and day out. At any time if one might be m the lunchroom, he would just have to look over in a corner and there Rick could be found in the midst of a group, settling all problems from the high tariff on putty to James ' theory of con- sciousness. It made no difference to Rick: just serve up the difficulties and they would be kayoed for the proverbial count. He is also well known for his wit and versatility. And in the future when the storm clouds of trouble are gathering, when the time comes to be riding on the road to success, and you are travelling along at top speed in the endeavor to make the grade, you will have to watch the road carefully and step on the gas, for Rick will be found at the front of the race and will be the last man to be passed. Good-luck, Rick, for the future: and may you be as happy and successful throughout your entire life as we have found you in our four years at college. EDWIN JOSEPH DOLAN 35 Alban Street Dorchester. Mass. HERE we have one of the class characters. Eddie has been connected with almost every activity in the college and can boast of a record of achieve- ments second to none. To him we owe many a pleasant hour and to his guid- ing genius we owe in no small measure the success of our Junior show. His thespian ability however is not confined to comedy roles as his work in the annual Shakespearian productions proves. In addition Eddie rendered valuable service to the college and incidently to the class by his work as cheerleader during the past two years. He, along with Jim Hickey. was rewarded for his efforts in this line, when, with the vic- torious football team, they received fitting trophies of the successful season. As a committeeman. Eddie knows no peer. He was one of the foremost members of our Prom committee as well as having been on the class dance committee during his sophomore year. As a freshman, Eddie served the class faithfully and well in the office of class treasurer. Always genial and good-humored, Eddie is a favorite everywhere he goes. His record at the college has been one of achievement and we of the class wish to take this means of expressing to him the thanks which we think his efforts have merited. Good-bye, Eddie, and the best of luck. Class Secretary-Treasurer. 1. Class Secretary. 2. Chairman Soph. Football Receiving Committee. I. Junior Show. Z. i. Dorchester B. C. Club. 1 . i. 5.

A COLLEGE class is most enriched, not by the brilliant scholars and prom- inent athletes that represent it, but by the larger number of earnest, sincere men who make up the solid bulk of the group. One of the latter type is ' Jim ' Donnellan, the wavy-haired boy from Dor- chester. The fall of 1923 introduced him to Boston College, from the shades of the institution at Manchester. Thereafter, until graduation, Jim was a welcome member of countless gatherings of the sons of ' 26, though he per- sistently shunned the calcium light of public activity. The pasty froth of the social and pseudo-sophisticated world was early perceived and steadfastly avoided by this quiet and genial seeker after truth. The valiant patrons of the Lake St. Special knew him well however, as did the glamorous recesses of a certain Boston playhouse on full many a rainy afternoon. Studies were disposed of with pleasant despatch; and besides practical knowledge of books, Jim could regale with minute, accurate information on every col- legiate sport. For first and last, Jim Donnellan is a man ' s man, and having honorably completed his college course, departs to assume, we are certain, a man ' s work in the world without. Reluctantly, Jim, we bid you farewell and good-luck. History Academy. 4. Brosnahan. I. Dorchester B. C. Club. 1. I. i. 4. Inlerclass Football. 1. 2.

For Al, as Art Editor spent many sleepless nights drawing and designing the sketches and borders in the pages of this Sub Turri which have won for him quite a little recognition in this line, along with the sin- cerest of congratulations from his many friends, both among the student body and the faculty. Al was also on the art staff of the Heights for three years, and it was his work on this paper that showed that he was the man fitted for the Sub Turri work. Al not only produces the beautiful but is also attracted by the same, as all could readily testify, if they were only with Al on his weekly, or mayhap semi-weekly trips to Jamaica Plain. In this respect we must hand it to him for he certainly is consistent. Nevertheless he does not intend to take up art for his life work but is preparing to enter Harvard Business School next year to fit himself to become a financier. Good luck to you, Al. Finance and teaching English to foreigners seem not to have any connection, perhaps, but Al has spent many Saturday mornings learning the rudimentary principles of how to teach adult immigrants, and we expect to see him soon spending several evenings a week demonstrating I walk to the door.

CHARLES EDWARD SCHROEDER 2 Bromley Street Jamaica Plain, Mass. IT is usually the custom to associate mathematical genius with dry-as-dust, bald-headed, absent-minded professors, but the class o f 1926 presents a marked exception to this rule in the person of Charles Schroeder. Genial, good-natured, smiling — Charles is the direct antithesis of what one would com- monly expect a wizard of mathematics to be. It is for his predominance in the science of figures that Charlie has become best known to the graduating class. For four years Charlie has been the math shark of the class and it is due in great part to his kindly offices that many a laboring student has been extricated from the maze of bewildering cologs and cosines.- Nor is it for his scholastic abilities alone that Charlie is famous, for both at the Heights and the City Gym he has become well known as a prom- ising amateur wrestler. Indeed it is the opinion of many that he would be no mean addition to the ranks of the professional grapplers. Charlie, however, has decided to devote his future to the teaching of Young America, a career to which his sterling talents have well fitted him. Wherever he may go and whatever he may do. it can well be said that his friends will be many and his success will be great. Track. 1. History Academy. 4.

Throughout his college career he has always been known for his sunny disposition and as having the happy faculty of driving away dull care. However when studies required his attention he would change immediately from the most jocose to the most serious of moods. Outside of his studies he found time for school activities, having been a member of the Glee Club for three years as well as a member of the dramatic association for four, serving as stage manager of this society for the past three years. Pa is well known and liked in his native city being a strong supporter of the Democratic party of Somerville. as well as manager of one of the strongest baseball teams of greater Boston. Whatever you choose for your future work. Pa, we know you will suc- ceed if you but carry on in the same undisturbed nature we have known. And now at the parting of ways we cannot do more than wish you the best of luck in whatever field of endeavor you choose for your life ' s work, and although that companionship which we have esteemed must end for the most of us. the friendship shall remain surviving the severest test of friendship — that of separation.

WHEN the oratorically inclined members of the class of ' 26 met for the first time as members of the Brosnahan Debating Society. Bob was the first speaker to address the house in formal debate. This curly haired youth who had made a name for himself as a debater at B. C. High — and whose ability even at that time marked him as a real speaker — has continued through- out his course here at the Heights to impress audiences and convince listeners of the correctness of his viewpoint and the logic of his reasoning. Bob ' s ability and popularity have been recognized by the members of the class and for three years he has held class office as A. A. representative. Per- haps the outstanding accomplishment of his four years has been the efficient way in which Bob has managed the personal write-ups for the Sub Turri. His has been the thankless task of assigning, collecting, and rewriting these learned treatises on the characteristics and accomplishments of the individual members of the class. Bob has a way of getting what be aims at, no matter how hard he must work for it. The bigger the obstacle the more determined he is to overcome it. This characteristic was very evident and very necessary in his work as Assis- tant Editor of this Year Book. If Bob continues in his cheerful, yet steady and effective way of getting results after college as he has throughout his course with us, we predict with assurance an uninterrupted rise to a position of recognition among our successful Alumni.

High and it was not long after our College career began when we recognized that we had a true and loyal son of Alma Mater with us. In class and out. Charlie ' s smile was, to the boys, an invitation to stop and chat. If any debater wanted to find out the best points pro and con of any important topic of the day. he would invariably stop down in the lunchroom to listen to the dissertations of Charlie and his companions. Charlie could always be relied upon to do his share of the cheering at any of the college athletic contests, whether in baseball, hockey or football. On to Syracuse was the slogan and Charlie was one of the boys who went on. In brief wherever there was an activity that needed his support, Charlie was there to give it. With the coming of graduation, when we all must leave our college asso- ciations and pursue our chosen calling in life and in the struggle to progress, that you may keep yo.ur cheery smile and convincing arguments is the wish of all the members of ' 26.

One will note, on careful perusal of this volume, that many a man who has achieved great things for Boston College makes his abode in some obscure town. Thought, ideas and the clear exposition of the same, never found Robie at a loss for words. Early in his college career he displayed his intellectual brilliance by mastering the intricacies of Chemistry and Mathematics. Later in his course, when the errors of Kant. Spinoza and the anti-scholastics pre- sented themselves, they found a courteous, but nevertheless unbeaten adversary in our friend Robie. Not alone were his activities confined to the pursuit of knowledge, for he was an active member of several important committees. In Senior, Robie was the Advertising Manager of the Stylus and was in no small way responsible for its huge success during the year ' 26. His genial personality won for him a host of friends and it appears that they have the same universal regard for this fair-haired youth as have wo, his classmates. To express our hope for his success would be futile. Robie was born to succeed, not to be superceded. Your brilliant record as a scholar, advertising manager and gentleman augers well for your conquest of life. May it be a prosperous one! Failure has no place in your diary. Robie.

J OE ' S life was gentle and the elements so mixed in him that nature might stand up and say to all the world this was a man! There have been many great scholars from Roslindale, but without doubt, here is the greatest of all. Joe received his preliminary education at St. Anselm ' s Prep. He returned to St. Anselm ' s College and as a freshman attained an enviable record as a student and athlete. Realizing the great advantages of a pre-medical course at Boston College, Joe enrolled in our ranks as a sophomore, where he commanded the respect of his fellow students by his modesty, his congenial disposition, and his profound knowledge. Unable to join the many college activities, because of the long hours in the pre-medical course, Joe never- theless was one of the most loyal rooters of his Alma Mater. He holds the unique record of attending all the football, baseball and hockey games, as well as debates, since his arrival at B. C. During his three years at Boston College, Joe has always been a brilliant student, and is well prepared for the future. We are sure he will meet with well deserved success in his chosen profession, Louis Pasteur Club. HENRY EDWARD GRODEN 45 Garfield Street Cambridge, Mass. ONE of the last of that set of Cambridge Latin schoolboy athletic stars, which has dominated athletic activities at Boston College, as well as elsewhere, for the past five years, is our hockey captain, Henry Red Groden. A sturdier, more rugged wingman has never roved the lanes for an American College and his fourth season has marked his captaincy with a typical example of consistent, hard, veteran play. Not alone as a hockey player however has he excelled while at college. As a student, Henry ' s brilliancy was equally as great, if not as generally recognized as was his ability on the runners. Although his time was taken up in no small measure by his pre-medical studies, Henry found time nevertlpeless to lend a helping hand to all the activities of the college whether scholastic or athletic. A quiet and unassuming personality with reticence, loyalty and per- severance as its chief components, is his: these few qualities, representing and typifying many others, suffice to show why we know Henry will attain the laurel whether as a medico or banker or a new Cleghorn.

NATURALLY enough, after winning success as an athk ' te and a scholar at the High School Preparatory to Boston College, Jerry turned his steps toward the Heights. Fleet of foot as he is, Jerry became a valuable asset to the Ryder cohorts in whose behalf he turned in many brilliant performances. He won the coveted B during his freshman year, a fitting reward for his fine work on the cinders and the boards. Leaving sophomore, Jerry turned his interests to the unsolved problems of the scientific world and from then on had but little time to devote to the cinder path. We have learned to admire Jerry as an apt student, conscientious in all that he attempts; as one who is steadfast in all his undertakings and pursuits whether they be of academic or social nature. After the sheepskin is conferred upon Jerry in June, he plans to invade the halls of Technology to delve the more thoroughly into the sanctum of scientific research. Indeed we may expect another Steinmetz of Gerald, for when he has exhausted the facilities of learning of the Institute, he is bound to go forth in search of new developments of the Electron theory. May he have unbounded success in all that he undertakes. Brosnahan Debating. 1. Track. 1 . 2. 4. Spanish Academy, 4. EDWARD PATRICK McDEVITT 73 Iroquois Street Roxbury, Mass. WHO has not gazed upon the bland countenance of Ed, and wondered to himself: What are the thoughts behind it? Ed is assuredly one of those chosen mortals who have the gift in very high degree of making you do the guessing. It is a very valuable asset and will, we are sure, carry Ed far. It would be absurd, however, even to hint that this is the only gun Ed carries. For in a countenance that is simply bland, inscient proprietore, there is little to recommend. The unwary individual, however, who attempts to carry Lavater ' s extravagances into practice will find that in the case of Ed there are more things in heaven and earth, (poor deluded Lavaterite!) than are dreamt of in Lavater ' s philosophy. This temperamental ingeniousness of Ed ' s has about it the quality, there- fore, of a mystery. And a mystery to youth is always a challenge. It is for this reason that we find ourselves in that category to which in the beginning we have referred. But of one thing we are certain and that is that possessed by Ed is a philosophic understanding of human nature that will mature with years and honors, and that not possessed by him are any disturbing complexes or morbidities. With this consciousness we send Ed forth to success with every confidence, and in the saddle bag of that confidence we place our hopes. Football. I. Baseball. 1. Roxbury B. C. Club. 1. 2. 3. 4.

HERE is a chap who is a worker, a man of deep thought and sound con- sideration, conscientious and smart, but withal familiar with the modern arts of jest, jazz and joysome jocularity. Freddie, as he is known at the Heights, comes to us from Hopedale. the model town and if he is a sample, the old town must be pretty good. Freddie is not an exception to the rule that places good things in small packages. Of sturdy and substantial proportions, we cannot vaunt his height, but what he lacks in that latter is more than compensated for by mental prowess. A chap who knew him well in the days of his adolescence tells us that at the age of four he was making an alkaline solution from a soap and water mixture. This may be true, or exaggerated, for we are not chemists, but at least it indi- cates his natural talents. Freddie is behind every cheer at the games, his eyes perform when he is interested, his toes tap a lively dance and we are glad they do so while none the less he can shine brilliantly in those library conferences. All of which is just another way of saying that Freddie is a jolly good fellow and we all like him. History Academy. 3. 4. EDMUND KELLEHER LUDDY 91 Union Street East Bridgewater, Mass. UP from East Bridgewater came this scintillating youth daily throughout his college course. Commuting and its hardships served only to make Ed the more genial, pleasant and cheerful. Early rising did not spoil his day. but rather gave him the jump on most of the fellows. It was during his hours in class with us that we were first impresesd by his splendid characteristics. His patience and perseverance, his steady and con- sistent work won for himself the knowledge he pursued and too, the respect of his classmates. But in those off hours, when books were closed and we were free to enjoy his company, we found in him a friend who was as entertaining and agireeable as he was steadfast and true. His sociability was of that high calibre that caused him to be sought after and acclaimed at Maroon and Gold functions. He loves the college and is loath to leave it. But we know that such a loyalty as he possesses has in back of it a wealth of noble spirit which will bring renown to Alma Mater, and for himself a righteous and lasting success which he so well deserves. History Academy. 4. f K? GEORGE LOUIS O ' BRIEN 64 Oak Ridge Road West Medford, Mass. WHAT pray, is the name of the gallant whose countenance is pictured here? Who is he who possesses such a marked appearance of manliness and merit? Ask no more. ' Tis one of our own classmates, a manly, courteous and unassuming young man, — George O ' Brien. As Obie he is known to us and more, — as a friend and comrade. Obie came from Cambridge Latin and in his quiet and pleasant way established himself almost immediately as a member of the class. To class and college activities alike, he lent a helping hand, and gave his support un- stintingly. He was manager of hockey and his smiling countenance was never absent from any social event. His pleasant manner gained him many friends and time has proved him to be a man worthy of friendship. He was successful as a student and traversed the thorny path to Senior in safety. To express our appreciation of Obie in a few words is impossible. Let it suffice to say that among his classmates, Obie is considered a true friend, a loyal collegian and a man of worth and integrity. If his future success can be measured by the accomplishments of his college career, Obie is bound to meet with well-deserved prosperity. Good luck, Obie. Hockey Squad. 2. 4. Junior Show Committee, 3.

One might think that Red just followed the crowd from the University City. But we are convinced that he had a worthy reason and has more than proved it during his stay at the Heights. On the skating rinks of the United States and Canada, Red has many times carried the colors of the Maroon and Gold to victory. For four years our big sorrel-topped lad has been a mainstay on our hockey teams that will go down in history as the class in collegiate ranks. In addition to his athletic career he has proved himself a worthy student of praise and a model for future Cambridge representatives at the Heights. During the summer months. Red may be found instructing the young- sters at Magazine Beach or perhaps saving a life now and then. To those who do not know him, let us introduce Willie Mahoney, his bosom friend, for to know Red one must know Willie. We won ' t forget him, more, we will profit by his acquaintance, knowing we have seen a worthy example of Roosevelt ' s dictum. Work when you work and play when you play. Let us then take this opportunity to wish future prosperity to one who has ever been a true friend, a good scholar and a real athlete. Varsity Hockey. I. Spanish Academy. 1. 3. 4.

AS is the case with most of our long distance commuters, Joe has spent many of his precious hours journeying between Medway and Boston. That perhaps accounts for his close apphcation to purely scholastic endeavor without widening his field of activity to include those other extra-curricular pursuits, which absorb so much time if engaged in with any degree of intensity. Some men feel that whenever they conceive an idea they must tell the world about it and impress everyone around them with the importance and originality of that idea. Not so with Joe. He always has fixed ideas regarding topics of interest, yet he is not one who is constantly trying to convince his fellows that his view is the only logical one. He seems to have adopted the much saner and more agreeable attitude that each man is entitled to his own opinion and if others wish to think in a particular way — which is different from his way of thinking — then that is their privilege and there the matter ends. Joe ' s ability to win and hold friends coupled with his appreciation of the value of work have earned for him a high place in our esteem. We have firm confidence that the same qualities can produce the same effect upon those with whom Joe comes into contact in later life. BERNARD BENEDICT BURNS 3 Wayne Avenue Ipswich, Mass. BENNY has even been a faithful student, a loyal follower of all the activities of his Alma Mater, a true friend and classmate. Quiet he may have been, but nevertheless interested in whatever had for its aim the welfare of class or college. As a student he boasts of a record which few have equalled, achieving bril- liancy in his different courses with seemingly no appreciable effort. High marks have been characteristic of his four long years on the Heights. As a debater, he met with no small amount of success, his efTorts in this line however being confined to his later days at college. We have no exact knowledge of what his plans for the future may be. but no matter what the nature of his future occupancy may be, we feel confident of his ability to succeed. With him go our best wishes for future success and prosperity. Benny will always be remembered as a fine student and a good fellow. Brosnahan Debating Society, 1. Marquette Debating Society. 3.

WE now have the pleasure of introducing Gerry O ' Neill, an ex-member of the class of 1925, and loyal supporter of all that is concerned with Boston College or Somerville. But perhaps introducing is not the word, for Gerry with his good natured smile and winning ways is as well known and popular as any member of our class. His beaming countenance has never been absent wherever any social function of our college has taken place, for indeed, a party without Gerry could not be insured of success. At high school, he was one of Somcrville ' s most promising athletes, but on entering upon a college career he decided to forfeit such activities (much to the disappointment of the coaches) in favor of his studies. Such was his reward however, that throughout his entire course he has creditably upheld the reputa- tion that Somerville ' s sons enjoy for scholarship at Boston College. Equally creditable will be his achievements in the greater school of life, where we feel sure his future business associates will welcome him with as much zest as we welcomed him as a fellow student. For. true in his work among us. doubly true will he be in his chosen career. Usher Prom Committee. 3. H. C. Smoker Committee. 4. History Academy. 4. UMP HAROLD CHRISTOPHER OCONNELL 313 Main Street Bristol, Conn. HAROLD, or H. as the fellows call him. was one of the regular fellows of the class. H possesses a fine tenor voice and could always be found har- monizing with the boys in the lunchroom. Okie acknowledges only John McCormack as a rival in the realms of music. Perhaps you would think that H coming as he does from our sister state of Connecticut would be modest and bashful. But not so HI That genial disposition and ability to make friends finds him unabashed in any surround- ings. When in high school, Okie was a big frog in a small puddle. He did not become a small frog in a big puddle at B. C, because Okie ' s ability to shoot baskets stamped him as one of the best basketball players B. C. has ever produced. Time will blot many happy pictures out of our memories. But we hope never to forget the old days in the Qualitative lab, days filled wi th hard work and made bearable by the soulful rendition of the Gypsy Love Song by Okie and Bill Cronin. Okie, you have sung and smiled your way into the hearts of all that knew you. We are sure that these qualities of a true gentleman will ever insure you success in the world of finance.

To remember Jim is to see a rather corpulent fellow with a smiling countenance, brightened by two mischevious eyes, always ready to add to the fun of any party and ready to supply it all, if it be lacking. Jim has got the goods and he believes in letting the world enjoy thern. A joke or song offered by Jim is always more real. Jim ' s energies are not solely confined to the social field, however, for he has distmguished himself just as ably in the intellectual field. Besides excelling in his regular academic studies at B. C. Jim is an enthusiastic member of the Fulton Debating Society and the History Academy. We cannot entirely account for Jim ' s harmonious blend of traits but we dare to advance one reason — an argument from environment. Away up in the high lands of Woburn, far removed from the noisy bustle of the busy center, the whole year round Jim lives in the midst of nature ' s richest gifts. Such an environment is bound to make an impression on anyone who lives under it for any length of time. And our smiling Jim has not been immune to its influence. With such personal magnetism and his diligence as a worker, Jim ' s future seems assured. History Academy. 4. Glee Club. 2. 4. Fulton Debating Society. 4.

McKeon although few know him as other than Mac, and we might remark that few missed knowing Ed ' s breezy personality. Mac is a member of the Commuters ' club, journeying each day from Lowell, His record at college has been varied but always good, A careful, industrious student, Mac never neglected the social activities of the class, co-operating with everything that contributed to its success. Ever ready to work, Mac showed his loyalty by his hearty cooperation. As yet, he has not informed us of his plans for the future. But now, forced as we arc to say Goodby, Mac, wc wish him success along the path he chooses. The days gone by were both happy and profitable. Those to come are full of promise, and may they serve to bring Mac nearer to the goal of his ambitions. President Lowell B. C. Club. 4. DANIEL LAURENCE HEALY. JR. 182 Concord Street Framingham, Mass. NO one who has attended one of the concerts of the Glee Club during the last four years needs any introduction to Dan Healy. Being one of the premier tenors of Boston College during his sojourn here, he has rendered many solos at the various concerts. Dan has also been active in the other pursuits of the college life. As in- tercollegiate editor on the HEIGHTS, during the 1925-26 term, he has been responsible for the weekjy Telescope as well as for the Philomatheia news. Beside this he has compiled the Social section of this Sub Turri. So Dan has been rather busy while at the Heights, especially since he com- mutes daily from Framingham, in addition to all his other labors. ' Way out in the wilds of Sherborn, he has a paternal acreage of a large tract of farm land which has been the camping grounds of many of the fellows on holidays, vaca- tions and the like. For whenever the HEIGHTS Staff felt that longing for the back to nature stuff, Dan ' s farm was the first place that came to their minds, and many are the camping trips that have been held out on the banks of the Charles, under Dan ' s careful solicitude. Danny has not yet decided just what vocation to take up, according to all indications, but whatever he decides upon, we all wish him the luck that he is sure to have. Glee Club. 1. 2. 3. 4.

JOHN ANTHONY McGRATH 279 Cabot Street Newtonville, Mass. WITH a quiet yet determined manner. John pursued his scholastic course serenely and confidently, sure of his way and doubting not his methods. Although he may have seemed to some of us to be rather quiet, to those who were close in his friendship John was more. — he was an ideal friend: one for whom no sacrifice was too great, one who could be trusted, one who had a real devotion to his Alma Mater. Mac ' s course here at college has been a studious one: at all times has he been a student, applying himself diligently and faithfully to his books, with indeed great results. We who have heard him answer in philosophy and other studies in past years have never had a qualm of conscience that we would be asked the same question, for we knew that John would answer it and answer it well. In recognition of his ability the students of Newton have elected him president of the Newton B. C. Club and as such he is now busily engaged in keeping the club prominent in the city of the College ' s location. We have been better men because of Mac ' s acquaintance and we will not soon forget one who has done much for us both individually and as a class. Brosnahan Debating Society. I . Censor. 1 .

GEORGE came to us from Boston College High School, highly recommended for his scholarly efforts and achievements. He had been a member of our Freshman class but a short time when his professors were convinced that he was indeed worthy of this recommendation. And so, through his Freshman and Sophomore years he continued to delight his professors and win the admiration of his fellow students by his excellence and skill. When Junior year arrived, George elected to take up premedical studies in addition to his regular academic pursuits. By the same manifestation of diligence and ability he came to be ranked among the foremost in premedical work, mean- while maintaining a lofty preeminence in the department of Philosophy. We are proud to be friends of George Govatsos who has cultivated great numbers of true, lasting friendships, not only in academic activities but in athletic and social as well, for he has ever been a zealous supporter of, and a tireless, unselfish, and cheerful worker for whatever might tend to the dis- tinction and glory of Alma Mater. And thus in truth we say that Boston College sends forth in George a son who is a worthy representative of her teaching and training, a staunch upholder of her doctrines and principles, a son who daily puts into practice the motto of his Alma Mater.

FOLKS, let us introduce to you Johnny Fallon, member of the Glee Club for four years and one of the mainstays of the 19 26 Freshman baseball team ' s pitching staff. To stick to the Glee Club for that length of time, one must have great perseverance and Johnny has that. Hailing from Roxbury, he must have it, ipso facto. Being under the required limit, Johnny was also a member of the Royal Giants, a society of seniors five feet six and under. In this imaginary body, he held the imaginary position of treasurer. Johnny is the possessor of a sweet tenor voice and has often delighted his fellow students at smokers and socials by his pleasing rendition of popular num- bers. -His fame as a songster, however, was first made in the college lunchroom where, in company with others he daily filled the smoke ridden atmosphere with tuneful sounds. In the classroom Johnny is an earnest student. His favorite study is history, and he is, in fact, quite an authority on the Renaissance. We predict great things for this lad. His versatile ability, supplemented by such a pleasing personality, is bound to win for him a place at the top. Brosnahan Debating Society. I. Glee Club. I. 1. 3. 4. Freshman Baseball Team. 1.

Paul throughout his four years was one of the most popular of the class, always ready to oblige and lend a helping hand to any scholastic activity. In his Freshman year, Paul was one of the leading luminaries of Mr. Gavan ' s Freshman G section. He shone both in his studies and at all the social functions that year. Paul in Sophomore was a member of Cav ' s varsity football squad and also, during his whole four years at the Heights, a member of the class football team of ' 26, The success of the Junior smoker was in part due to the zealous work of Paul in seeing that all who attended were well equipped with smokes. In him the League of the Sacred Heart had a zealous promoter who lent his services from Freshman right through his four years here, Paul was a regular member of the History Academy, taking, it seems, a great pleasure in delving into the archives of the past. We never know what the future holds in store for us, but we feel sure that Paul is his quiet winning way will be an unqualified success in whatever he undertakes. Football. I.

A WISE man once said that it is better to have no reputation and to acquire one than to possess an enviable reputation and to lose it. But he forgot to say that the acme of perfection consisted in further enhancing an already well established reputation. Probably the aforementioned gentleman thought of our little correction but hesitated to put it in writing, thinking perhaps that no human being could always so conduct himself as to be ever worthy of the nice things said about him. But the exception does occur. When Henry O ' Connell left Somerville High, leaving behind him scholastic records for the future generations to attempt to lower, the wiseacres predicted that he had climbed too high and like all other things, Henry and his marks must come down. In his four years here at the Heights, he has gained the major ' share of the medals awarded to his class. Subjects which were night- mares to the average student were but diversions for Henry. To the outsider reading this, there may come thoughts of a super-man, a veritable book-worm. But we who know Henry know him as a man vitally interested in the activities of his class, as one who is always present at the class functions, as one ever ready to help a fellow-classmate and as a tried and true friend. And so Henry, we esteem you as a real friend, a gentleman and a scholar. Marquelle. 1 . 2. Fulton. 3. 4. Vice-President B. C. Club of Somerville. 4. Sub Turn. 4. Radio Club. DAVID WILLIAM KELLEHER 14 Auburn Street Charlestown, Mass. FROM the heights of Bunker Hill to University Heights came one Dave Kelleher more familiarly known as Kotchy. Dave received this name after travelling to the land of his ancestors and returning with much of the native wit for which the people in Scotland are famous. It certainly has been a happy privilege of the Seniors to enjoy his witty remarks, for Kotchy has the repu- tation of being able to make the brightest and most mirth-provoking criticisms from behind his calm and serious countenance. However, in spite of his jocose manner. Kotchy can assume the most serious mood when the occasion demands. Kotchy ' s intellectual ability has exhibited itself in his inquisitiveness, and the third degree to which he has subjected many professors has kept him continually in the limelight. These questions, which have made him well known as a member of the class of ' 26, have shown that he is a student keenly interested in his work and eager to grasp every opportunity to obtain advance knowledge. In closing. Kotchy. whatever your life work may be. we wish you success. You have made many friends at college by your cheerful manner, and you will make many friends in your future work.

RICHARD JOSEPH FINN 193 Court Street Dedham, Mass. WE now hnve the pleasure of presenting to you Richard Finn, better known as Dick, the smiling, congenial commuter from the town of Dedham. In spite of his journey every day. Dick always remained the same happy lad that we knew at B. C. High. Coming to the Heights, Dick continued the excellent progress he had made at prep school. Always among the leaders in all his class work, he has of recent years, acquired a special interest in history. He has been a faithful member of the history academy, and is especially well-read in historical works. Those of us who had the pleasure of knowing Dick intimately look back with pleasure on his discussion of notable history topics, his favorite being the life of Napoleon. Dick did not take an active part in athletics while at college, but always maintained great interest in the different sports. This is evidenced by his anpearance at the many athletic contests, and, from what we could observe, he is one of the most royal of our royal rooters. A true B. C. man, a friend worth having, a good student, a pal that cannot be forgotten; such we have found Dick to be. We do not know what Dick intends to do in the future, but the interest he has shown and the success already attained in hotel work seems to indicate a promising career fc him in this line of work. Whatever his final choice may be. we are confident that nothing but success wiil be his Glee Club. I. I. i. Debating Society . 1.2. History Academy. 3. Track. 2. Dedham B. C. Club. 2.5.4. TIMOTHY FRANCIS MCCARTHY 260 Washington Street Peabody, Mass. THOUGH it might be said that Peabody gave us Larry McCarthy, yet it would be nearer the truth to say that Larry gave us Peabody — for the tanning town on the North Shore owes much of what fame it has here at Boston College to Mr. McCarthy. A firm believer in the value of looking on the bright side of life, Larry spent his greatest efforts chasing worries from the minds of some of those who were weighed down with the burden of collegiate cares. When we shall have forgotten Larry ' s witty sayings and mirth-provoking antics, then we shall have lost some of the most pleasant memories of our days here at the Heights. We will miss him after graduation and hope that we will come in contact with him at least occasionally, so that we may for a while listen to his spon- taneous wit and good humor. The years we have spent within these classic halls have indeed been brighter for Larry ' s presence, and we know that in whatever may be his calling, he will spread sunshine all the days of his life. Larry, all we can wish you is a continuance of the success that has crowned your years of undergraduate activity. Vice-President Athletic Association. Chairman Ring Committee. 4.

IT may have been and again it may not have been the influence of that stability which is supposed to emanate from all peaceful little towns such as East Braintree that endowed Jawn with one of his most prominent characteristics, that of a keen thinker. Recognition of this valuable trait was early and Jawn was eagerly received by the editorial staff of the Heights, whose purpose it is to guide the student mind toward the right viewpoint in matters of import in the outside world, as well as in school activities. That so many of us have gained the correct outlook on various matters can. doubtlessly, be traced to the moulding influence of Jawn ' s pen. However, when not trying to persuade our intellects through the medium of the press. Jawn turned to oratory, making one of the best debaters in the Brosnahan, the Marquette and the Fulton Societies, all despite the fact that his left arm was the stronger one. Such was Jawn ' s intellectual nature, yet his real personality defies adequate description because — but look at the eyes in the picture at the top of the page again.

BILL is an elongated product of Peabody who. like his namesake. Walt came to Freshman F four years ago, and climbed steadily up the academic rungs on the ladder of the Bachelorship of Arts. We are the debtors to Bill ' s home town for having him sojourn with us. for we found that he possesses a mind as broad as his body is long. Merely incidental among his accomplishments are his abilities as a pianist, a vocalist and an argumentator. But there is nothing incidental about Bill ' s proper address, he has acquired a Lieutenancy in the Reserve Officers ' Corps. Bill may well be styled a causalist inasmuch as he always seeks the ultimate whys and wherefores of situations as they arise. This commendable attitude of mind is probably to be attributed to his business training for he is already junior partner in the firm of William F. Duffy S Son, Morocco Manufacturers. Along with his cultural and business training. Bill has achieved remarkable success in the Thespian art. Truly he has demonstrated great versatility in amateur theatricals. He has portrayed the dashing hero, the lordly courtier and the pompous butler with enviable equanimity. Now he enters upon the stage of the future with his part well outlined and with a confident audience — his classmates. Brosnahan. 1. Fulton. 4. Track. 2. History Academq . 4. Club. 3. Dramatics. 4.

Tom (he is Bunny in his own milieu) found himself to be sure in no strange land, but yet among many strange faces. To one of Tom ' s tem- perament, however, this fact constituted no insurmountable barrier. A ready wit and gracious personality can scale any wall, particularly one built by young hands. As a matter of fact, walls had never to be scaled by Tom : his charm is an ' Open Sesame ' to which thev inevitably part. If the world were full of Tom ' s kind, we verily believe it would then be too easy to live in. For in that event there would no longer be quarrels, mistrustings. suspicions ad. infin. Up to now we have spoken only of the temper of our classmate. He is not merely, we want it known, a good fellow. There ' s sterner stuff to him and lo! it is chiefly intellectual. Tommy is that kind of a student whose knowledge is non in folio, sed in capitolio. A seeker and lover of truth, he has applied himself especially to philosophy, and for understanding of this ground-work of all the sciences, he acknowledged hardly a master among his confreres. That he has not more often been heard in learned dialectics with our various pro- fessors is due to a native sweetness of temper which is negative only as its opposite may at times be considered too loudly affirmative.

Hope Street Lowell. Mass. AN historian was lost to St. Anselm ' s and won to this class when Luke McCarthy joined us at the beginning of Sophomore. Perhaps no other man in the class has a more intricate and adequate knowledge of history than has this scholar. His diligence and patience in pursuing whatever material he felt would be more conducive to a knowledge of government, economics, or, in fact, any phase of history, has won the admiration of all who know him. His forte, however, lies in the field of writing. As a frequent contributor to the Stylus, and a necessary factor in the Heights. we are all acquainted with his painstaking literary style, a style which nothing less than exhaustive reading could have induced. Yet there is no wittier, no more natural humorist than Luke. He sure can tell a story. It is hardly necessary to predict a remarkable future for him. Those admirable qualities of diligence and genuine sincerity which characterized him in his earlier success as the most advanced historian in his class, and as a constant source of instruction and pleasure to those around him, are absolute assurance of the quality of his future achievements.

ONE who never turned his back, but marched breast forward, that ' s Kell. No matter how tough the Chem or Psych, or how deeply the snow blan- keted the Heights, the boy from Newburyport just grinned and kept on plug- ging. You need inquire no further for the reason why Bill is beloved by all at B. C. Together with a smile that never wore off. Bill, true son of Erin that he was, possessed a keen wit and ready tongue. Little wonder then that Kell presided at the Open Forums held daily in the lunchroom. Who is there that can remember any session from out of which Kell did not emerge victor? The picture that presented itself morning after morning, to be repeated as the shadows of late afternoon crept over the Heights, of Kell leading Little Ricky to and from classes is one that ever will remain in our minds as typical of the fraternal spirit engendered at B. C. You did a good job. Bill, and Ricky ' s degree is one more jewel in your crown. Good bye. Bill, and good luck. You were a winner at B. C. You are sure to be a winner in life. IML I JOHN ANTHONY COHAN 16 Thomas Park South Boston, Mass. ON entering Boston College, Jack took up the pre-med course, only to remain two more years to receive the coveted sheepskin. From the very outset he devoted himself assiduously to the realm of scientific pursuits, distinguishing himself especially as a chemist. It was no doubt on account of his studious nature as well as his ambition that we saw less of him than we would have otherwise desired. ■Quietly and ostentatiously he arrived each day at the Heights and just as quietly he took his leave. Jack answers to the name of Coke within his circle of friends, and his generosity in giving fellows the well-known ' break ' will long be remembered by many. The national pastime has no more ardent devotee than our own Jack, and it was only the wealth of excellent material that prevented him from holding down a varsity position. Rumor has it that Jack intends to enter the pedagogical profession. But whatever line of endeavor he chooses, his consistent work at Boston College indicates that he will be successful. Fulton, 4.

NOW, gentle reader, we pause to gaze upon the frank and pleasant counten- ance of Barney Braudis, one of the estimable contingent from South Boston that have ever proven themselves true sons of Boston College. Barney ' s only fault, since his arrival from Special Latin, was a persistent and indomitable zeal for attending classes and earning goodly marks in his studies. His scholarly and attentive manner in Senior Psychology, as he pondered weighty theses, was indeed a delight to behold. It is no unfounded rumor that in South Boston Social circles, Barney has set many a heart to skipping beats as he essayed the intricate maze of the dance. For as president of the South Boston B. C. Club in his Junior year, he achieved an enviable record as the leader of that famous and ancient organization. In addition to such varied accomplishments, this lad with the riotous locks of a poet worked daily until well into the nocturnal hours. This strenuous program in no manner detracted from a genial and pleasing disposition - — hence we are free in predicting for this youth a wide circle of friends in the busy world, as well as a wide cycle of success in the business world. Farewell, Barney! and in the kindly words of the Irish phrase, Joy be with you. B. C. Club of South Boston. 1. B. C. Club of South Boston, Secretary. 2. B. C. Club, of South Boston. President. 3. JEREMIAH FRANCIS FOLEY 16 Nottingham Street Dorchester, Mass. SIX foot two, eyes of blue, that is Jerry. Dorchester High sent this tall lad to Boston College and, it seems to us, that Jerry since he attended classes on the Heights, would have to suit his physique to his altitude; for Jerry during his four years with us has grown in height as he has in knowledge. From the rudiments of Greek and the classics of Latin, through Rhetoric and Chemistry Lab., Junior Philosophy and Senior Psychology. Jerry plied his studious way, to emerge in June. 19 26. the proud and worthy possessor of the coveted sheepskin. Condition examinations to this Dorchesterite were things which others worried about and paid for. There are several times when Jerry can be noticed above others, when he is in a group and when marks are read. On these latter occasions, when others are nervous and apprehensive, Jerry is calm and confident. We feel sure when the time comes for Jerry Foley to reveal the stuff of which he is made, due to his Boston College training, in the great test of man- hood, he will fulfil all requirements and be a real credit to his Alma Mater.

That fair city could not have sent a better one. His cheery presence is always welcome. for when he appears on the scene things always seem to brighten up a bit. This is probably due to his quiet cheerfulness and sincere love of good fellowship. On several occasions, he has proved himself to be an excellent orator. But his talents do not end there; in the classroom, he has shown himself to be a student of high rank and is always a leader in his class. Joe ' s humor and seriousness are well blended. He has a smile and a cheery word for everyone and is always willing to join in play and fun with his numerous friends, but he has realized that college is not merely a good time and has placed his studies in their place of prime importance. Joe has taken a great deal of interest in the affairs of the B. C. Club of Somerville and took an active part in all its undertakings, serving on numer- ous committees. He is one important reason why this club is now a leader among B. C. Clubs. B. C. Club of Somerville. 1.2. 3. 4. Fulton. 4. History Academy. 4. Heights. 1.

EVERY class contains a certain few who, either by excessive burning of the midnight oil or by use of the gifts that nature has bestowed upon them, shine a little brighter than the other intellectual lights around them. The well known Art is one of these. We are not qualified to say which of the two causes is the secret of his success, but we are inclined to believe that Art is guilty of possessing exceptional taknt. Accordingly he has acquired not a few premiums in the various courses which he has studied, but it is in the field of chemistry that he stands supreme. There have been few students of Boston College who have mastered so completely the intricacies of the chemical laboratory. In addition Art was an athlete of no small ability. He especially excelled at hockey and was a member of the varsity squad for two seasons. In class football and baseball games he could ever be relied upon to give a good account of himself. Always ready to lend a helping hand to a fellow-student, we find nothing but likeable qualities in him. We shall not attempt to assume the duties of class prophet, but with that confidence, optimism and spirit of perseverance that have been characteristic of Art here at college, success will surely await him.

MANDY is especially noted for his baseball ability. Throughout his four years at college, he has ever been a prominent member of the squad, if not always a regular. This latter was due entirely to the fact that in order to secure the regular assignment, it was first necessary to oust from the berth the premier first-baseman of college baseball. While his athletic prowess naturally overshadows his other activities, he has, nevertheless, met with success in many other lines of endeavor. As a result of sincere and earnest application, he has attained a high degree of success in his studies and has entered into the various class functions with boundless enthusiasm. Jeekus is one of the most fun-loving boys in the class, where his abundance of wit and good humor have won him widespread popularity among his class- mates. Despite his great propensity for fun, he can, at will become one of the most serious and earnest of students as is testified by the fact that he easily accomplished the seemingly impossible leap from sub- freshman to sophomore. One might expatiate endlessly upon the remarkable qualities of this Dedham youth, but suffice it to say that if perseverance, courage and good nature are of any worth in determining success, Mandy need have no worries.

WALT hails from Brighton, but our wonder at this abated when we reflect upon another uncontrovertible truth: many other notables came to us from Brighton. It was as a modest boy with chestnut hair, sparkling brown eyes, and a con- stant smile that Walt took his place in Freshman F. These admirable qualities still remain in the man, who after completing four fruitful years on the Heights, faces life with a will to persevere. Indeed such confidences in Walt ' s future success is warranted by empirical observation, for where many showed the white feather, our hero kept his smile, where many smoked cigarettes, he puffed on cigars, and where many walked to Lake Street, he drove his Dodge. Walt ' s ability to do things in a big way was often manifested in the classroom. His translations were classic, never literal, and his discourses always comprehensive. Although he was not greatly prominent in forensic circles. Walt showed much promise as an argumentator. Indeed we confidently expect that he will make good use of his oratorical ability. Besides his studious life, Walt has carried on a partnership with his brother in the Auto-top business. Thus it seems that our best wishes are well placed when we extend them whole-heartedly to this industrious smiling classmate, — Walt Duffy. Semina of Contemporaneous History, 3. 4.

Tell me your friends and I will tell you what you are. And wc here say that Frank is the best friend a fellow could cultivate. He does not advertise the fact, but to those who know him well. Frank is a philosopher and a poet at heart. His strong forte is writing plays, and it would not be at all surprising to see him bud into a great author some day. When he gets his collegiate pipe going, that is the right time to talk with him, for then he is in a reminiscent mood. As a student he has few equals. His perceptive faculties can grasp in five ■minutes what will take some of us all night, so his class ranking is excellent. A glance at his philosophy book will reveal another interesting fact — Frank is an artist. All free space is covered with drawings of heads of one type or other, the peculiar part of it being that every female head is adorned with a perfectly designed hat. Yes, Fran, why not go to Paris and become a designer? You could do it, wc know. Fran is a member in good standing of our famous lunch room circle. It is a treat to know him. it is a privilege to be his friend, and we are certainly going to miss him. Fran is bound to be a success. In years to come, we hope to read the great American Play by F.

TONY spent the first six months of his collegiate career at Georgetown, and while his many friends at that institution were sorry to lose him, we were indeed fortunate that he decided to cast his lot with the rest of us here on the Heights. It was not long before we realized the prize we had in Tony, who immediately won his way into the hearts of his classmates with his pleasing ways and his famous tales of the sea. As a student, he-starids well among the leaders, due to his application and perseverance. It is no easy task to commute from the Mill City day after day. In dramatics he has been deservedly credited with maintaining the lofty standards of our annual college productions, and in assuming the leading roles, he has given abundant proof of his histrionic ability. Notwithstanding these activities, Tony ' s forte was forensic oratory. In this field he met with splendid success from the start, appearing in the Marquette Prize Debate, the Fulton Prize Debate and the Annual Oratorical Contest two years in succession. Possessing a pleasing delivery and unlimited ' fire ' , Tony stood second to none as a speaker. There is little need of predicting his future, for one who has been such a successful college man will meet with like success in whatever profession he may choose. Marquette. 1.

Yes Mul ' was our star broad-jumper for four years, despite the fact that he was a daily commuter from Brockton. Track was not ' Mul ' s ' only forte however, but in that quiet and inaus- picious way that some men have of accomplishing things and which is generally known only to their friends, but treasured by them, he did a great deal towards increasing B. C ' s. fame in the home town. For ' Mul ' was the ' Cassius ' of the Brockton Triumvirate with which the Senior Class was so kindly blessed. He was treasurer of the Boston College Club of Brockton and it was to him in no small part that we owe the success, both financially and socially, of those delight- ful Christmas and Easter parties of the Brockton Club.

Al was the first and only student who has ever surpassed his professor. But please don ' t misunderstand us, it was in a fifty yard dash at Nantasket. Al at class outings has often entertained his classmates by his vocal abilities. As a Thespian he has upheld with honor his reputation by displaying his abilities on the stage at St. Mary ' s. Al is considerable of a character actor. Indeed, Al will remain always in the memory of his classmates because of his unfailing sincerity, generosity and earnestness, and his unfailing loyalty to his Alma Mater and to the Class of ' 26. Al is well known and ardently admired by the younger set of the North End and is causing many of the older politicians to sit up and take notice of a coming leader. Surely the future has a bright outlook for him and success is assured him both in politics and business. Football. 3. 4. Class Games. 4. BERNARD FRANCIS KEON 111 Highland Road Somerville. Mass. AS the 6.56 train started with that characteristic groaning and shuddering and began to pick up speed on its departure from the Lowell Station, almost any morning during his first two years stay at the College, one might see a black haired, heavy set, well built individual, dash madly down the track and board the last car on the fly. The onlooker had witnessed Doc. Keon making his best effort to be at class on time. When philosophy entered into our curriculum in Junior, Doc. jumped to a class leader immediately for his logical mind immediately grasped the intricate principles involved in this study. As an historian, Doc. has had no peer in the college and he has become an authority on historical matters, a sort of living answer book for the boys. We venture to say that if Doc. were not so retiring and quiet in his manner, his endeavors might have received greater rewards. Doc. never boasts of his knowledge and never makes any attempt to show it. but when necessity comes the ability is there to display. Doc. is a type of manhood which B.

BILL resides in the remote section of Dorchester, so remote in fact that he uses the town of Milton as a back yard. For some time Bill has been prominent in the class, having established him- self as a regular fellow with as much courage as his name typifies. Since Bill is one of the class giants,, his associations have been with a gentleman of similar proportions: consequently he has become as chummy with ' Turk ' Delahunt as the Siamese twins were to each other. At all times the gentlemen are seen together, notwithstanding the fact that Zirpolo is generally hidden between them. The composer that wrote ' I want to go where you go ' must have inter- preted the attitude of this trio in regard to each other. As a hobby, he has given his attention to dove fancying, or in other words to pigeon raising, but judging from his ability and success in this endeavor we feel he is deserving of the former title. Do not mistake his upward glance as one of extreme piety, as he developed the habit gazing skyward for his returning birds. Before we close the page, we wish to extend our fondest hopes to Bill, trusting that he will add to the joys of others in life as he has multiplied ours in college. Dorchester B. C. Club, 1,2, 3. ARTHUR LEO McMANUS 40 Stone Avenue Somerville, Mass. ATHLETICS is usually the key to popularity among college students. By that rule Art McManus would be indeed popular, but in, more than athletic ability does the popularity of that curly-haired giant lie. The key to his popu- larity is Art himself, with his tousled red hair, sparkling eyes, everlasting smile and good humor. Art has been a bulwark of defence in the Eagle line for four years. Not satisfied with a defensive role. Art set himself to be of good use to the eleven in the offence. The past football season found him one of the fastest men on the team, the best placement kicker in the East, a hard tackier and a touchdown scorer of ability. And there are not many guards who can account for those six points via the touchdown route. Holy Cross can attest to his ability along these lines. He has put across points that have made the purple fade. Art has not confined his athletic ability to football alone. He is also well known as a track athlete. Last spring, Boston College entered the New England Inter-Collegiates with slight chance of winning. Art ' s first place in the heave accounted for the five points that enabled the Eagle to tie for top honors. Art is also an officer in the Boston College Club of Somerville. Interest in that club and in every ot her activity of the college is one of the characteristics of the famous, but still unchanged. Art McManus. Football Team, 1.2.3. 4. Track Team, 1, Z. 3, 4.

FRIENDS, rest your eyes for a moment upon the noble physiognomy of our own Doc. He is one of the two New York boys in the class of ' 26. Ever shall this gentleman be remembered by us for his joyous personality. His rare ability in the art of jest will always serve as a land mark by which to recall him to our memory. Scattering gems of cheer in a manner peculiar to himself Doc has the distinction of being the center of attraction everywhere. As a business man, Doc is excellence itself. Much of his time and thought is taken up in the fall, spring and summer supervising his garden interests in Gloucester. As a result, he has, much against his pleasure, found it quite im- possible to take part in extra-curricular activities, although in Senior he found time to join the Fulton Debating Society. The subject of this discourse could have easily attained lofty heights in literary, dramatic or debating circles. In this life opportunities are extended to all — but not always the same kind. Doc has grasped many of the gems by the proverbial forelock much to his credit, both moral and monetary. We have good reason to believe that one Edward Digby, because of his lofty principles and excellent business qualification, will one day be able to announce to the world this statement: I have succeeded in the eyes of God and man.

In Sophomore year, Jim worked as a salesman all summer and was such a success that he determined to increase his speaking qualities by taking up debating. His development in forensic activities was so marked that he was unanimously chosen to be secretary of the Fulton. And this year he addressed his audiences with Gentlemen with such sincerity and conviction, that he has been appointed to represent the college as an intercollegiate debater. He excels not only as a speaker, but as a thinker. Jim is gifted with a quick and accurate mind.

Search as you may, you will find few activities, either on the Heights or abroad, that Heinie ' has not engaged in. His name and smile were linked with all. On the athletic field, in the class-room, in the world of litera- ture, or in the ballroom he was at all times perfectly at ease; ever achieving, yet ever apparently relaxed. On the Heights he was known chiefly for his flashing wit, his ever-ready repartee, and his brilliant pen; the pen that contributed indiscriminately to both THE HEIGHTS and the STYLUS; the pen from which flowed short-stories, essays, editorials, and reviews with equal ease and charm. As Editor-in-Chief, he bestowed upon Boston College the present artistically arranged STYLUS that will remain as a lasting testimonial to his name. At all times and in all ways he enjoyed college to its fullest measure, and in both work and play he ever followed his watch-word of Hi-Yi-Deals. As the years glide swiftly by, we shall remember old ' Moxie ' as an athlete, a writer, a student, and a gentleman. But if, in the ever-dimming past, all these should be forgotten, the memory of his smile will linger forever — that warm, charming smile of his — the smile that instantly put a stranger at his ease- — the smile that ever proved an ' Open Sesame ' to sincere friendship.

Otherwise, how can we reconcile the pictures of Art backing up the line over on Braves field, making tackle after tackle; of his drives in at the Arena to body check the Sons of Canada before they could get a shot at the net, how else, I say, can we reconcile these pictures of Art in action with his one hundred fifty eight pounds, unless his was the ancestry of the amphitheatre? Art reigned supreme in the Chem Lab, especially so the day that he set fire to the beaker of alcohol. Like all good chemists, Bowler could make colors appear where they weren ' t any.

PERSONALITY, because of its charm and power, is a most desirable quality. James O ' Donnell of Woburn is fortunate because he possesses this admirable quality to the ' nth degree. We are told that natural disposition plus habit constitutes the essence of this quality. If so, Jim has both in abundance. Coming to the college as a sub-freshman, he immediately endeared him- self to his classmates by his ready wit and genial disposition. Jim ' s company is a sure cure for the blues and for this reason he is one of the most popular men in the class. As a Sophomore in the following year. Jim quickly distinguished himself as a chemist and fortunate were those who worked with him in Lab. We came to the conclusion that his favorite subject was chemistry, for in Junior he elected an advanced course in this subject. This meant extra hours of lab, but Jim was always a conscientious, hard working fellow. Jim must have had some other project in his mind, however, for when he arrived in Senior we found him in Pedagogy — you know what that means. Socially Jim is at the top. He is of the type that makes a favorable first impression and then wears well. If making friends is a means to success, Jim has certainly made a fine start.

Possessed of unusual ability as a tennis player, he is perhaps best known for his activities along this line. For the past two years he has reached the finals of the various tournaments held on the Heights, as well as being one of the most prominent members of the college tennis team. From this description however, it must not be imagined that Bill ' s ability is confined to the courts. Scholastically he has achieved great results, being especially well informed in the field of historical lore. This latter proficiency is the result of a faithful and profitable attendance at the different lectures of the History Academy, of which he is a prominent member. But in addition to natural scholastic and athletic ability. Bill is gifted with a genuine spirit of devotion and loyalty to Boston College. No matter what the occasion, whether an athletic contest at home or afield, whether a debate or a musicale, whether a lecture or a smoker. Bill was ever to be found doing his best to help the college. It is because of this spirit that we admire and respect Bill as a classmate and as a man. We are confident of his ability to succeed because we have seen him succeed. Best of luck. Bill, don ' t forget us. Heights Staff, 1 . 2. Assistant Circulation Manager. Freshman Smoker Committee. 4.

FOR four years the class of ' 26 has been represented by one of the best pitchers in collegiate ranks. As Freshman, few of us_were really acquainted with Andy, although we all had spent many an afternoon watching the brilliant hurler perform. Some stars rise, dazzle the universe for a moment, then flicker out, — but such was not the case with Andy. As Seniors, we admired and took joy in watching his skill and effectiveness in tossing them up, just as much as we did in ' Freshman. Andy ' s ability, however, is by no means restricted to baseball, for he is also a star performer in football and basketball as well. As a Freshman, he achieved a rare distinction, being one of the few first year men to win a regular berth on the basketball team. He continued as a member of the team throughout his four years, being elected to the captaincy in his Senior year. His personality can best be characterized by those virtues that he particularly manifested to us — modesty and unpretentiousness. They have won for him the esteem and admiration of every member of the class. We have the utmost confidence that these same qualities that have marked him as an illustrious and worthy object of our respect and admiration will have the same telling effect upon those in the world with whom he will come in contact.

Never failing to take advantage of any situation which may offer a suggestion of humor and more especially if Doc. Keon happens to be involved.

T HOMAS Philip Delahunt, a gentleman and a scholar, came to the Heights — he came, he saw. and he won the heart of his classmates, one and all. Rare prophetic skill was displayed at Tom ' s christening; for Thomas signifies ' twin ' and such a role has he played. He is known to many in Newton and Boston as Tom whereas in Milton, Weymouth and there- abouts he is greeted as Phil. Kind, unassuming, and everybody ' s friend, Tom will never be forgotten. With his pleasing smile, and his ready wit, Tom has cured many a disillusioned pal of the blues. Tom can talk intelligently on nearly any subject, among those in which he is especially well versed are cattle, rotation of crops, water supply systems, Turkish etiquette and customs, and the proper method of inhaling spaghetti au milanaise (or on the half-shell.) A brilliant future is assured for Tom by his personality, and although the fates may be adverse, his courage will remain undaunted. The entire en- vironment may be pessimistic, his surroundings may be blue, but Tom ' s win- ning smile and genial nature will paint them a rosy hue. May Tom remain with us in spirit when our college days are over: may he have success untold; and let no man say that Tom Delahunt did not return more to society than he received. Freshman Football, 1. ANTHONY JOHN ALOYSIUS PERRY 42 RosEMONT Street Dorchester. Mass. IN selecting an appellation to describe Anthony Perry, none could be found more fitting than that of The Little Giant. for seldom is so much real ability packed into such a diminutive body as is true in the case of Tony. Ever a shining light in the sciences of mathematics, chemistry and physics, Tony always managed to maintain a high standing in his other studies. With his pal and colleague, Charlie Schroeder, Tony has practically con- stituted the whole enrollment of the calculus class and between them, they have divided all the honors in that noble course. While Tony ' s scholastic abilities are well known, it is his bubbling cheerfulness that made him most popular, for, with Tony, every cloud has a silver lining. In the field of athletic endeavor, Tony has also managed to make a mark for himself and his home diamond in Dorchester sees much of him during his spare moments. Following his graduation from the college, Tony intends to enter M. I. T. to embark upon an engineering career and it is the firm conviction of his many friends that, in due time, the world will hear much of him in his chosen vocation. Radio Club. 1. Dorchester B. C.

SELDOM in the course of a life time is one privileged to meet a man like Tom Halpin. Fortunate are we indeed to have his magnetic personality in our midst for four scholastic years. With ever present wit and good humor. Tom soon found a warm spot in the affections of his classmates. The choice of his profession was made known to us when he elected the pre-medical course during his Junior year. Tom ' s choice indicates that he is by no means wanting in the matter of study and hard work. His cheery attitude and personality will inevitably stand him in good stead in his chosen profession. We are uncertain as to what medical school Tom intends to enter, but we have the utmost confidence in his ability to succeed. He is to be congratulated upon choosing such a noble profession as his life ' s work. Such a choice has been typical of his self-sacrificing spirit. Tom, may you continue to spread sunshine and happiness to the afflicted whom you will encounter. And in the future when the world turns and calls upon another Pasteur or Osier, we are confident that she will find you waiting, always ready to help humanity.

A FLIVVER comes speeding along Beacon St., swings into College Road, hustles across the campus to the parking space (lest it be tagged) and comes to an abrupt halt. A tall slim gentleman emerges and Joe stands before us. He is forever breaking all the speed laws and regulations in his collegiate wreck, but never in a hurry while on foot. How is this apparent contradiction in terms to be explained i Joe ' s wit has made him famous on the Heights. His dry humor, droll stories, and philosophic difficulties have earned him the well deserved title The Sage of Milford. He is also a real student and has never apparently forgotten the real purpose of his college life. Joe is very popular and well liked by his classmates. By his famous smile and humorous stories he has won his way into the hearts of everyone. He was always willing and glad to lend a helping hand to any of his mates, who were in need of aid. Long may Timothy Joseph ' s smile beam upon the world and bring to the surface smiles as bright as his own. FRANCIS PATRICK COLLINS 3 Harrison Avenue Salem. Mass. FRANK or Peck as he is known on the Heights, entered as a stranger in ' 22, but his striking personaHty soon made the Salem lad one of the most popular men in the class. He came to B. C. from St. John ' s Prep and has ever been a strong booster of his Alma Mater. Peck distinguished himself as a debater both in the Brosnahan and later in the Marquette. In Sophomore, as a member of the Glee Club, he acquain- ted many a Boston audience and the unseen audience of WNAC as well, with the ever popular B. C. medleys. As an upper-classman he achieved rare success in his philosophical studies, as well as leading a very prominent social career. When his evenings were not taken up with this latter pursuit, Frank also found time to serve as an instructor in the Salem Evening School. Many men can lay claim to popularity, but few can say that they possess it because of sincerity, earnestness and ability. Frank has a splendid person- ality, ever willing, ever ready and ever anxious to do whatever he can for the college. In brief, he is, in college activities a worker, in the classroom a real student and everywhere a gentleman. Dramatic Club. 1. History Academy. 3. 4. Salem B. C. Club. Treasurer. 3. 4.

FROM the beautiful and near-by town of Weston comes one of our hardest working, most studious and most congenial seniors, Ted Brown. He is the kind that does big things without the rest of the world knowing. In the first two years, Ted went through the preliminary Latin and Greek, and was always among the leaders of his class. Unsatisfied with this, however, he took great interest in debating and essay writing. In his Junior year, Ted came into his own, for then it was that he spent many a long night over his beloved bacteriology, biology and chemistry. His delight was in the chemistry and biology laboratories. The results of his work is abundant proof. With the great amount of laboratory work incumbent upon him, Ted was forced to give up debating. Yet withal, he found time enough to win the prize offered by the college on the subject: Chemistry and Its Relation to Health and Disease. He is the kind that is always willing to help, but does so in an unimposing manner. He is a good student, a great friend and a diligent scientist; wherefore, we feel sure we will find Ted in Who ' s Who in the years to come, our old class- mate. Theodore E. Brown, renowned in medical circles. Winner of Prize Essay. 3. Louis Pasteur Club, 4. JOHN ROBERT SHAUGHNESSY 8 Willow Ave. Salem, Mass. BOB Shaughnessy comes from down old Salem way. Tis said that a bit of witchery still lingers around the old city whose witches along with her ships brought her fame in the dim distant past. We, who have the pleasure of knowing Bob, are tempted to believe these rumors, for where else could he have captured his personal attraction so subtley effective as to be virtually equivalent to witchery? But to get away from witches and back to Bob, who truly deserves all our attention, let us speak of the crimson flushes that so constantly mantle his dimpled countenance. He has indeed been prominent socially as befits one so genially gifted ; yet not excessively given to pleasure seeking, for he realizes always the virtue of modus in rebus — a principle he has often expounded to his Americanization class. Much of Bob ' s time was spent in the biology and chemistry laboratories where he accomplished no small amount of real work. You see, he is headed toward the medical profession and we are sure that his high standard of honor, coupled with his keen mentality, will bring him to the foremost rank in this, his chosen vocation. You may rest assured, Bob, that the warmest wishes for prosperity are yours from your ' classmates. Brosnahan Debating Society. 1. Marquette Debating Society. 2. Louis Pasteur Club of B.C.. 3. 4.

AT twilight any evening, during the past four years, when the purple shadows softly vied with sunset ' s golden light and Boston ' s misty veil merged with the swiftly stealing dusk, the watchful observer might have seen John slipping quietly out of the building, homeward bound, after a long after- noon over the records of the Stylus. It has been the heritage of every graduating class for decades to have at least one member whose results alone show the fruits of his four years of toil, and with the Class of ' 26, it is John T. Sullivan. He it was who put the Stylus on the firm financial basis it now enjoys; he it was who guided the College Calendar of 1926 to success; and he it was who yet found time to try his hand at Debating. Track, Baseball and boosting Posse School dances. Not yet do we know what plans John has for the future, but of this we are positive.

WALTER is the. little chap, who, in his Freshman days, armed with a cherubic smile and 120 pounds, besought Jack Ryder to make a shot- putter out of him. The cherubic smile passed the genial Jack ' s inspection but the 120 pounds did not. Walter turned to poetry and debating. Four years added thirty or forty pounds to the original one hundred and twenty, but to add lustre to that angelic smile was impossible. Walter, the shot-putter reentered, but Walter the poet and speaker remained. His wistful Irish poems struck deep into the hearts of his readers. ' Ailcen, ' ' Macushla ' , and ' Coosheen ' were but three of the gems that graced the pages of The Stylus during his stay on the Heights. A trip to Europe in his Junior year afforded new spheres for his facile pen. Prose writing now intermingled with his poetry, and every subject was — Europe. Thereafter his class-mates suffered. When I was at Como — , Now at Edinburgh — , became ineradicably imbedded in Walter. But his class- mates did not mind. For the cherubic smile — the angelic smile — had returned.

JOHN STEPHEN DOOLEY, Jr. 1 1 1 HuTCHiNGS Street Roxbury, Mass. JT has been said that one of the most valuable features of college life is the formation of life-long friendships. It has also been said that the ability to make these friendships is the test by which a successful college career is to be measured. If this is so, there are few among us who have met with such unusual and well-deserved success as John Dooley. Nor is his popularity without foundation. As one of the best managers of baseball the college has ever had, as chairman of the class endowment committee, as a loyal supporter of whatever activity the class has sponsored, John has done much to further the interests of class and college alike. As an athlete, John found time to play on the various class teams, being especially prominent in hockey, as well as being one of the best tennis players on the Heights. Espec- ially however, as manager of baseball was his executive ability recognized. Through his untiring efforts was made possible one of the best schedules the college has ever had. Ever willing to share whatever he possesses, John is as true a friend as could be found. Always a staunch and loyal defender of the traditions of the college. he is well worthy of carrying the standards of his class into the ranks of the Alumni. We will always remember John as a real student, a good athlete and, above all else, a prince of good fellows. Baseball Manager, 4. Asst. Baseball Manager. 1 . I. 3. Chair- man Endowment Committee. 4.

BY his quiet, unassuming manners and action, Greg early endeared himself to ' 26. Never a heralder of his own prowess, Greg has been a modest, good natured friend of the whole class. Coming from the High School in the wealthy town of Brookline, Greg has certainly been a credit to that institution during his four years of collegiate life. For all those who came in contact with him, Greg had his ever present smile or his little pat of condolence. And let it be said that never has anyone sought a favor of Greg in vain, if it lay within his power. His pet pastime has been pushing one of those big Pierce Arrows around during the summer. They say that if he gets started talking about cars, he will forget to sleep, but we have never seen the proof of this, so we say it with a grain of salt. We cannot but predict a brilliant future for Greg because his very character assures success. Greg is sure of his share of renown because no matter where he goes or what he attempts, his geniality and real good fellowship will make him a valuable man. Fulton, 4. History Academy, 4. 1,1 1 :!l€i -- ' DANIEL CHARLES SHEEHAN West Street Reading, Mass. AS one of our diligent pre-med students, spending long afternoons in the smoky atmosphere of chemical or biological labs., Dan has devoted most of his four years to preparing for medical school. He has, however, been able to spare some time for debating and has demon- strated considerable forensic ability when he has chosen to favor the members of the Fulton by speaking before them. It is, of course, impossible for pre-med men to devote sufficient time to extra-curricular work to attain any great fame as speakers or writers — it is part of what they sacrifice for their education — and great credit is due them when even fair prominence is won by them in these outside fields. As one of the molders of public opinion in his home town, Dan stands preeminent as an authority on biological or ethical points of discussion. Dan ' s earnestness and industry as a student indicate his ability to con- centrate upon and stick to whatever endeavor he may undertake. These charac- teristics, in the opinion of his classmates, should insure his future as a leader in the medical profession. Fulion, Louis Pasteur Club. cs ?

Our heritage from that championship Pea- body team. Will began by deservedly taking his place as one of the deservedly popular of the athletic family. His pleasant smile and genial manner ingra- tiated him with studen-tsand professors alike, and at once he entered the company of the elect. Will demonstated his ability as a regular quarterback in Junior, and assisted in the notable victory over Holy Cross in Senior year. Yet it is for other things that we remember best this serene and likeable lad. During four years here at least was an athlete who was at the same time a scholar and gentleman. His attentive and thoughtful demeanor in class was proverbial — nor could jest or allure swerve from the shining path of rectitude. The Fulton he graced with a quiet and intelligent presence, as well as all affairs at which B. C. men congregated. And hark — a morsel! It is rumored that Will never missed a Symphony concert, come weal or woe! Such conduct indicates the true aristocrat. Vale, Will! As one of the best beloved of our graduates, you carry with you into wider fields our sincerest wishes for success and happiness. Football. 1. I, 3. 4. Class Baseball. 1. Class Basketball. 2. 3.

Here gentlemen, is an enterprising chap who, if pleasing demeanor is any advantage is destined in due time to say to the fortunate world, Here I am at your service. It is a habit with some to predict success for all. We do not necessarily predict success for Bill, we don ' t need to. To know Bill personally is to become convinced of this fact, his personality bespeaks future success, thus saving us the time of such prediction. For a hale fellow well met life always holds much. Let us hope that it will be the good fortune of B. C. to always have many of his quiet, but engaging type for the benefit will inevitably accrue to all. Promoter of Sacred Heart, 3,4. Pres. of N. Chelmsford B. C. Club ,.s DAVID FRANCIS LAWLOR 2 NoNANTUM Street Newton. Mass. DAVE Lawlor and photography are synonymous. Whether he had this as his forte at Newton High is not known. It was quite manifest, however, when he matriculated at the Heights. On any discussion pertaining to the science of photography, Dave was an authority. If any one wished to learn any of the mysteries of the camera, he was the first to be interviewed. His picture gallery is a unique history of Boston College. Dave is perhaps the only unsung and unpraised literateur of the college. He has the honor of having contributed poetry and short stories to some of the best periodicals in the country. This may account for his reluctance to con- tribute to the Heights ' literary efforts. The class of ' 26 will always remember the light-haired six-footer with noble brow and posture, always, sure. As a mark of distinction, Dave possessed that manly virtue which characterized him above the unbearded youth. This designation was a Fairbanks ' moustache of attractive shape and color. As he was an individual among his classmates, so may he be among his future associates. Contributing Editor, Stylus, 3, 4. K% 11 FRANCIS WILLIAM McOWEN 260 Elliott Street Newton Upper Falls. Mass. FRANK ' S height and bearing would impress even a stranger, and would suggest power and ability in the individual. After our four years of inti- mate acquaintance with him, this first impression has been verified and con- firmed, and in addition there has grown in us a feeling of respect and admiration for the true character beneath this external appearance. Frank is never happier than when, as a hair-splitting logician, he is explaining or defending some obscure philosophical principle or some ethical point. It is rumored that there have been those who would attack certain theses in his presence, simply for the purpose of observing his careful, analytical method of defense, or to draw forth some quick and accurate solution of the proposed difficulty. It seems that Frank ' s most noticeable characteristic is his exactness. He insists that things be correct even to small details — whether he is dealing with moral problems, social functions, or academic activities. This characteristic was nobly evidenced by the splendid way in which Frank, as Chairman of the Inter-scholastic Oratorical Contest Committee, put across this difficult and important innovation for the benefit of the school-boy orators of Greater Boston. Frank has the power to think, the ability to express his views clearly, a way of getting results, and, as we believe, all the other requisites for recognition in the world ' s Hall of Fame, Brosnahan Debating Society .

WHEN this gentleman from the Spindle City knocked at the gates of old Boston College, you may be sure that after one glance at his shining morning face, he was received with open arms. Then four hard years of in- tellectual toil followed, but Joe was ambitious and undaunted. He had the proper spirit, for then the time is coming when we shall know him as Doc and then his good habits will mean success for him as well as good fortune for those to whom he will minister. There is much good to be done, and in the pathway of medicine particularly. Thus Joe has his work laid out for him. With the training of B. C a training rich in real education and a stewardship of great moral and intellectual bounty, Joe is already well started on the road of life. We assure you that wherever he is found, like the good Samaritan, on the highways and byways of life, whomever he meets will be the happier that they know him. Track, 1, 2. Louis Pasteur Society. 4.

BILL Fahey of Cambridge is doubly characterized as a Boston College man because of his preparatory course at Boston College High School. It is his virtue to be the possessor of the most unassuming and friendly personality. Always quiet, but ever observant, he contributed largely to the moral of his class. If one were to look for Bill as a winner of prizes, one would perhaps not find that quality, but would find in him something greater than this. He possessed and showed that attitude which conveyed this impression, If I have not yet reached the highest rank I will bide my time and watch and wait, and, then, I may be ready to do bigger and greater things. As a member of the various societies in his first three years, he contributed much to their success. In his last year as a member of the Fulton a more diligent and respecting member could not be found. In the years to come, the place which Bill Fahey is to fill in the world will be a place in which Boston College is worthily represented. Brosnahan Debating Society, 1, Freshman Track Team, 1.

Doc along with Ray Sullivan forms Father Fitzpatrick ' s Gold Dust Twins. Throughout his four years he has been consistent, although he hasn ' t been awarded many medals, he stands as a dependable and willing member of the class, ready and eager to show the world the real ability that he possesses.

THOMAS NORBERT QUIRK 101 WiBiRD Street Portsmouth, N. H. BOSTON College, ' 26 has members who can justly boast of many and various qualities and accomplishments. But none of us can outstrip Tom Quirk when it comes to an earnest desire for a college education. Some of us may work Saturdays and holidays, some even may labor afternoons after classes are over, but none of us travel so great a distance twice a day, .as does Tom in his thirst for education. He rises every morning before the sun, and endures a train ride in a stuffy coach from Portsmouth, N. H. to Boston, and every evening retraces his morning ' s travels back to his historical home city. Such facts prove two things, firstly that Tom has the ambition to succeed and secondly that he has t he will power and persistency to accomplish his purpose. .Tom is one of those quiet fellows who is not always voicing his opinion of everything from evolution to Fords, nor imposing himself on anyone, but is of the calm and unassuming type. When Tom comes face to face with the world and realizes that the real battle of life is before him, then will his sincere and earnest ambition to succeed, coupled with his strong persistency in sticking to his task until completed, come to the fore and make B.

He has not engaged in activities outside of class since, being a commuter from Lowell, he had little time for anything but study. Bill is popular with all Seniors and especially with his fellow members of the Lowell B. C. Club. He was elected treasurer of that club during the years 1924-25. Bill was a candidate for the track and baseball teams during his college terms and although he did not gain athletic renown, he forced excellent ball players to their limit to hold their positions. Chuck ' s quiet and unassuming way of winning and holding friends has caused his popularity on the Heights and we feel assured that on account of these same qualities his future endeavors will be crowned with real success. Treasurer of Lowell B. C. Club, 19Z4-5. EDMUND MURRAY LANIGAN 136 Lowell Street Somerville. Mass. ED Lanigan was graduated from Somerville High in ' 21 and entered Boston College with the Class of ' 26. Early in his collegiate career, he sacrificed athletic possibilities for the scholastic rating which marked him as one of the best students on the Heights. On many occasions, Ed showed his ability as an organizer both in academic and social functions. His remarkable aid and facility along these lines can be recalled by the successful affairs of the class. His services came to be of such a value that invariably he was chosen as a man who would assure the successful prosecution of any function. As a member of the Fulton, Ed was distinguished by his forensic and oratorical ability. He was numbered among the premier debaters of the society. Not only this, but he showed and gave manifest proof of his ability as a speaker in the Oratorical Contest of ' 25. To Ed Lanigan with light red hair and twinkling blue eyes, possessing a buoyant though sincere personality, Boston College can proudly point as a true son. May his success in the future augment the prestige of his class. Football. 1. Track. 1.2. Treasurer. B. C.-K. C. Club. 3. Fulton Debating. 3. 4. Annual Oratorical Contest. 4. Somerville B. C.

IT is an oft repeated truism that still waters run deep and in Eddie we have found the old adage verified. Quietly and unobtrusively he came into our midst, unheralded and unsung, and with quiet persistence has worked his way to prominence as a student of the first water. Prepared at all times, he was never at a loss for an answer in the field of classroom work, and the impenetrable maze of Philosophy merely served to sharpen his varied talents. Not only as a scholar, but also as a friend he has endeared himself to all his classmates. His four years at college have been a living proof that Medfield can bring forth men of true caliber and sterling character. Our one hope for him is that he will go through life as he has since we have known him, the even temper of his mind unruffled, the varied activities of his talent unimpaired, and an ever growing circle of friends to cheer him on his way. M JAMES WILLIAM CROWLEY 85 Savin Hill Avenue Dorchester. Mass. SOME men are more or less prone to boasting; some justly, others with no justifying cause. But we could class Jim with neither one of these groups. Jim would be the last man in the world to brag of something he could not justly lay claim to. And none of us ever heard him boasting of anything, even of his scholastic standing of which he can justly be proud. We don ' t know much about Jim, for the reason that he never tells us any- thing of himself. All we know we have learned by watching him in class and on the campus, or from someone else. When difficult Latin or Greek construc- tions were encountered in Freshman or Sophomore, Jim was always called on to explain away all doubts or false convictions. Philosophy held no terrors for him, if we are to judge by the manner in which he acquitted himself in Junior C. His fellow students are always referring their important difficulties in Psychology or Evidences to this quiet student from Dorchester. Jim produces results and doesn ' t tell the whole world about it. Jim does his studying well, earns high marks, and no one knows a thing about it. We feel safe in prophesying that Jim will undertake his duties after Commencement with the same zeal and thoroughness, which have characterized his four years at Boston College, and will meet with even greater success in the future.

IT is inevitable that some men in every large assemblage will stand a bit apart from the other members of the group and impress themselves indelibly upon the minds of their associates. We cannot always ascertain the cause — it is often that indefinable something that words cannot adequately express. Such a man is our classmate whom we picture above — John A. Murray. John has been outstanding while at college in both dramatics and debating. Since his Freshman year, he has played leading parts in all the Shakespearean productions put on by the Dramatic Society. Long hours of work were readily accepted by him. and his faithfulness and promptness, coupled with perseverance, displayed his admirable qualities. With equal energy and conscientousness, he was an active member of the various debating societies throughout his course. His readiness and alacrity at debate as well as his exact performance of his executive duties have made him prominent in forensic activities. As you leave the portals of our college, John, we have no fears for your future success, for with the knowledge you have developed here, together with your understanding of human nature, you cannot fail to dominate the circles which you enter.

BILL was one of The Three Musketeers from Chelsea. He was indeed a real college student, being prominent not only in the classroom, but in all other college activities as well. He was an outstanding member of the Fulton, where his forensic ability was well known and equally well respected. Like- wise in the Spanish Academy did he display his oratorical prowess which blended perfectly with the romantic charm of picturesque Spain. Bill was also prominent in all outside activities of his Alma Mater. As a member of the Chelsea B. C. Club, he was ever a faithful worker in the various undertakings of the club and much of its success can be directly attributed to his guiding influence. We may say of Bill that he was a typical B.

Knowing him as we do, we are confident of his future and confident that in him our fondest hopes and best wishes will be realized.

Our representative of that illustrious clan has certainly upheld its motto. He was a commuter. Harry came by all manner of means but he always arrived, — yes and often received a royal welcome. Harry has been rated high in scholastic accomplishments, but he was however by no means a grind. He is one of the chaps who thinks a good deal, does much, yet says little. We can all remember his genial, beaming countenance at our college functions and it is to him we owe a goodly share of the fun we have had here on the Heights. Harry was an important factor in the formation of the Everett B. C. Club, as well as a tireless worker for the success of all its undertakings. To his intimate friends Harry was known as a regular quick-change artist. He was noted for his ability to step from a mail carrier ' s uniform into the conventional tuxedo at almost a moment ' s notice. Charlestown once claimed him as a native son, but of late, this distinction belongs to Everett. We know that Harry will contribute materially to the welfare of this thriving community if not as a leader, at least as a distinguished citizen.

Although a native of near-by Roslindale, where he is active in all that pertains to the college, Ted has carried his B. C. spirit to the far corners of the country. He has enjoyed the summer beauty of New Jersey ' s famous lakes. He has endured the sweltering heat of the Panama. He has seen the famous Golden Gate of California. He has travelled throughout the Catskill Mountains, whose treacherous roads were but playthings to the blond Boston collegian. Ted is everywhere known and respected as a gentleman, friend and scholar. He is bound to succeed because he has succeeded. Boston College and especially the class of ' 26 can well be proud of Ted Drury. Treasurer Brosnahan Debating Soc, 1. Treasurer West Rox- bury B. C. Club. 1. Vice-Pres. West Roxbury B. C. Club, 2.

Tree Orator Class Day Ai: I JOHN PATRICK MURPHY 836 Broadway Chelsea, Mass. THE first of the much confused and very distinguished John P. Murphys, Dick of Chelsea. is nationally known as the premier hurdler of collegiate ranks. One would suppose almost unlimited courage of any Murphy coming from Chelsea, but one must possess the very quintessence of it to boast of such an achievement. His rise to fame has been phenomenal, his fame spreading throughout the country and even across the water and wherever track has a foothold in the short space of two years. His speed between the hurdles has baffled critics who thought him too short of build to match strides with the best hurdlers of the country. Handicaps however mean little or nothing to the clan of Murphy. Where Dick leaves off athletically, he just begins in other branches of endeavor. Of genial disposition and fine character, Murphy is attractive in the fullest sense of the word. His social prominence is witnessed by his almost unanimous election to the office of Vice-president of the class, which honor was conferred upon him at the end of his Junior year. Add to this, President of the Chelsea B. C. Club and a leader in academic work as well, and you have not much to be desired. A national idol, a real student and a true friend. Boston College and especially the class of ' 26 will miss Dick Murphy. Varsity Track, 1.2.3, 4. Fulton Debating Society, 4. Vice-President, 3. Vice-President. 4. History Academy, 4.

Murphy ' s, Pat of Dorchester. Tail, broad-shouldered, pleasant and im- pressive, Pat is everywhere well known and well liked, for his ready wit and keen sense of humor. Those of us who knew him at B. C. High admired him as one of the fore- most athletes in prep school ranks. Upon his matriculation at the Heights how- ever, ' Tat decided to devote himself entirely to his studies and, as a result, has remained apart from varsity competition. He can always be found however, upholding the prestige of ' 26 in interclass athletics, where his ability has been outstanding, especially on the gridiron. Finding it impossible to break away from the game he has grown to love, Pat has directed the play of some of the best semi-pro football teams in the state, as well as being a star performer on various club fives. To ' Tat who has brightened many an otherwise dull hour, we wish a continuance of the success he has enjoyed here at college. We, of the class will follow his activities with unusual interest, confident that one who has done so much to make our career as a class successful, will soon meet with well deserved success himself.

RAY is best described as an optimistic, gallant, debonair, and by no means untalented young man. Originally of the class of ' 25, his lot was destined to be cast with us. What is their loss is our gain. Ray was manager of tennis for the past three years, in which capacity he served diligently and well. To his untiring efforts is duein no small measure the popularity which the sports has achieved on the Heights. The ability that he evidenced in forming a schedule and the efficiency which he displayed in conducting the tournaments proved his managerial qualities beyond all question of doubt. His renown has been increased materially during the past two years by his ability to save certain students who made it a habit to arrive exactly at nine- thirty from the loss of the first hour ' s class. This saving quality in Ray was made possible through the medium of one of Mr. Hupmobile ' s cars. Ray has no small amount of oratorical ability, as well as being one of the most socially prominent members of the class. These characteristics combined with his natural talent will inevitably gain for him, as well as for the college, the prestige and success that we, his classmates, wish him. He will always be remembered as a true friend and a real good fellow. Asst. Manager Tennis. 3. Manager Tennis. 4. Soph. Reception Com.. 1923. Fulton. 3. 4. Sodality Vice Prefect, 1923.

OPTIMISM personified, the quintessence of nerve and courage, a reputable athlete, a fine student and a wonderful fellow, that ' s Paul Myron. After prepping at St. Anselm ' s, Paul entered the college with quite an athletic reputa- tion to live up to. His freshman year saw him cavorting around the short field on the varsity ball team, topping the hurdles with exceptional grace and speed and showing marked proficiency on the cinder path as well. This was no small assignment for one youth. In his Sophomore year however, Paul began to think of things more serious than baseball. He chose the path of Daniel Webster, rather than that of Honus Wagner for his future career. Now joining the folds of the debating societies he waxed eloquent in the formation and presentation of weighty argu- ments. It is Paul ' s delight to delve into the truths and falsities of the various philosophers. He could often be found in the center of a group of friends. expounding his opinion of a Paulsen or a Simmel as the case might have been. But above all else, Paul is a real man. He is popular with the ' gang ' and in the last analysis this is a pretty good test of a man ' s character. In parting. Paul, we cannot but wish you godspeed on the long road to ' success.

SHOULD anyone be in need of a young man whose keen intelligence and quick wit is steadied by optimism and light heartedness. allow me to intro- duce Jack O ' Brien, a member of that vast multitude of Cambridge commuters. The class is proud that it has such a member in its fold, — one who creates the atmosphere of joy and fun wherever he goes. The long, lank, unrivalled Obie is one of the class ' s distinguished characters. Jack is accountable in his wide scope of activities because he is one of those people who must be doing something at all times, no matter whether it be study- ing, playing, or talking. Athletics saw him as a member of the football squad for two years and as a guardian of the first base on the first Freshman ball team to represent the ' college officially. Socially. Jack starred like an All-American. In the pursuit of supporting all the college functions. Jack has graced all tLie ballroom floors of Boston and vicinity. And by the way. he does not allow his studies to sufl er. although it must be quite difficult for such a busy fellow to work over his books very long. Honorable mention was accorded him for his endeavors in philosophy which is quite a feather in his hat. ' So we wish Jack all the success that his brilliancy should gain for him and may that not be long in being accomplished. Football, 1 , Z, 3. Freshman Baseball, 1. Junior Smoker Committee, 3. MICHAEL ANTHONY CORCORAN Unionville. Connecticut THE historic Nutmeg State has many claims to fame, but for one great favor we are eternally grateful. — it gave us Mike with his everlasting smile. Many an otherwise dull hour has he brightened with his inexhaustible fund of humor. Genial he was and an ardent disciple of Nimrod as evidenced by his in- trepid expeditions against the savage pigeons of the Philomatheia Club-house, but it is chiefly in the realm of music that his talents find full play. His rich mellow bass has contributed much to the outstanding success of the Glee Club and College Quartet, as many a music lover and radio fan will attest. His mastery over the violin, both in brilliant technique and rare artistic sense, bore testimony to long years of painstaking effort. Added to this, his proficiency at the key-board gave further evidence of his amazing versatility. We need not wonder that his election as president of the Musical Clubs was the uiianimous choice of his fellow members. Mike ' s one ambition in life is to serve humanity in the field of medicine. Knowing that zeal with which he has applied himself to the lesser activities of life, our knowledge of him confidently predicts of him that success which our friendship heartily desires.

AS introduction for Bill Dunn is like an overcoat in summer, it just isn ' t necessary. Hardly had he become accustomed to his new environment when he started to contribute his share. Four years ago, Bill took charge of the band and through constant and sincere labor in a field of routine, he was instrumental in no small measure for the fine showing of the band in its public appearances. But his energy was not confined to one activity. Imbued with the true spirit. Bill went out for hockey and proved himself a very capable guardian of the net: in the spring he serves with lightning rapidity over the tennis nets. In all his activities Bill has not overlooked the greatest of all, he fully realizes why he plods daily to the Heights. Versatile in athletics and equally so in intellectual activity. Bill can honestly claim the approbation of all his fellow classmates. Friends he has by the legions, for he possesses the qualities that command admiration. Always active, but never restless; ever a student, conscientious and sincere: ever welcome among his fellows — such qualities individuate Bill Dunn and assure his Alma Mater that they may never feel ashamed of him.

MORE than a few changes have taken place during the past four years of college life, but the one change which seems to be permanent is in the cry, Let George do it. In recognition of Eddie ' s proven ability to carry out assignments and general willingness to accept responsibility, the class has unan- imously voted to revise the famous motto to read, — Let Eddie do it. Of unassuming mien, this fair-haired student of advanced mathematics has ever had the faculty of making the rough path smooth. Such a recommendation is indeed a tribute to his efficiency, which has been manifested time and again in the skill and precision which he invariably displayed in all his activities, whether in the classroom, in interclass athletics or as a member of the yarious class committees. Especially however, as an athlete did he render valuable service to the class. As the third baseman of her freshman baseball team, or as an effective though diminutive member of her football team, Eddie always gave his best, which proved to be more than enough. In all his future undertakings Eddie can be assured of the best wishes of faculty and student body alike, who will watch with more than ordinary interest, his progress along the road to success.

BILL is the boy who made Park Street famous. From the shades of Bunker Hill and the historic heights of Charlestown wended his way every morning through the maze of subway traffic until he reached Park Street. Once there it was a familiar sight to see Bill faithfully standing under the clock at the early hour of 8:30, check list in hand and waiting for the arrival of the less am- bitious boys. Guardian of the Park Street citadel however, is not Bill ' s only claim to fame, for if anyone would wish to know anything about State prison. Bill is the one from whom to learn it. For years, while in high and grammar school, he served the daily Mass at the prison, A handsome gold watch, the gift of the prison inmates to Bill, is ample testimony of the high regard in which he is held. As assistant lecturer to the prison chaplain, Bill knows no equal. While at the Heights, Bill has done much both for class and college, which is borne out by a constant attendance at all affairs of the college, whether athletic or scholastic. We know that what friends Bill will make with his winning smile and sunny disposition will be the truest friends a man can possess. We are sure that in whatever he undertakes he will be a success from beginning to end. Brosnahan Debating. I. Club. 1, 2. 3. 4. Academy. Glee Club. 1.2. Charlestown B. C. Picture Committee. 4.

THE class of ' 26 takes pleasure in presenting to the world one of the greatest little men the college has ever known. Charley is scarcely five foot three, but what he may lack in size he makes up in energy and all around ability. He has gained everlasting fame for himself through his remarkable ability in the chem lab. During the course of one memorable class, Charley threw a bomb shell into the ranks of professors and students alike when he triumphantly announced that he had precipitated alimony. Can he but repeat the process his future success is assured. His greatest claim to fame however, lies in the fact that he always has the inside, dope, which he disperses freely and impartially. His renown in this regard is especially recognized among the Ph. B. men and Father Creeden ' s infamous Ds. We who have known Charley have come to have a tremendous regard for him and his capabilities. Accordingly we do not hesitate to predict for him unlimited success in whatever line of endeavor he may choose to follow. Brosnahan, 1 . Track, 1 , I, 3. Glee Club, 4. History Academy. 4. THOMAS JOSEPH COAKLEY 13 Patterson Street Dorchester, Mass. THIS young man, ladies and gentlemen, is none other than Tom Coakley, one of Dorchester ' s most popular representatives. Hailing from this noble section, he has, nevertheless, managed to attain unusual results here at the college, both intellectually and in other branches as well. Tom is an authority on history, being one of Mr. Harney ' s pupils for four consecutive years, as well as being one of the original members of the History Academy. He has given generously of his time and talent to all activi- ties held under the banner of Maroon and Gold. True it is that Tom has not been with us as much as we would Hke to have had him, but this is due to the fact that he is employed in a well known Dorchester Hospital, where he carries on a far nobler work than any mere social activity. Boston College is proud of men of the type of Tom Coakley, because she knows that they are loyal and true, ever ready to defend her traditions and maintain the principles they have absorbed under her careful guidance. Good luck and success, Tom, this is the wish of your classmates for your future. History Academy, 4. Milton B. C. Club. I, 2, 3. 4. THOMAS ANTHONY BURKE 48 Highland Avenue Cambridge, Mass. TOM has pursued the even tenor of his scholastic way calmly and serenely, bothering nobody, yet always ready to lend a hand to anyone in distress. Quiet and reserved though he may have been, there were few in the class who could boast of a devotion to the college and its welfare more intense than Tom ' s. His career on the Heights has been marked by unusual scholastic attainment and no small amount of hard work. With no appreciable amount of effort, he always ranked among the highest in his cfass, being one of the best read men in the college. Tom can quote from dozens of authors and is equally at home in a discussion of the ancient Chaucer or the modern Hillaire Belloc. That he possessed a real college spirit was proven beyond all shadow of doubt when he paraded from Braves Field to Park Street after the Holy Cross massacre last year, despite the fact that he had a broken ankle and was forced to use crutches all the way. Tom will indeed go far in future life if he will but maintain the pluck and determination he has shown here at college. Good luck to you, Tom, old boy, and may your future success be unlimited.

DENNY makes his habitat in Norwood, which unfortunate circumstance however must not be held against him. He is one of those quiet, unas- suming fellows yet withal extremely popular with his classmates. Norwood and B. C. High did a great job in the training of this youth, for their efforts gave to Boston College one of her finest students. Yes, everyone knows Denny and likes him, for, no matter what activity was going on. he was there to support it. Along with his scientific side-kick. Jerry O ' Connor, Denny will wend his way to the University City and apply at the Institute for admittance. He is of the type that the faculty is bound to welcome with open arms, being a conscientious and earnest student, as well as an ideal gentleman. After completing his course at Tech, Denny will see to it that better bridges are built and that subways are extended to Norwood. Denny has the makings of a successful man, and we expect to hear a lot from him in the near future. He leaves us with the best wishes of the student body and faculty alike. Brosnahan. 1. Marquette. Z. ARTHUR FRANCIS DOYLE 98 Draper Street Dorchester, Mass. ALTHOUGH small of stature. Art has managed nevertheless to do great things during his four years sojourn on the Heights. In other words, he is as active and as energetic as the proverbial dynamo. Scholastically and socially he is ranked among the foremost in the class. Though Art could not spend much time around the college after class, his presence while there was spent to good advantage and enjoyed by all. He came to the Heights for an education and after the day ' s toil in that line was completed, he was off for parts unknown. We do not know what Art did with his spare time nor with whom he consorted. Eut the fact is that he is good-looking and since his dashes for Lake St. were spontaneous, we concluded or rather presumed that he was laboring under the spell of some strange infatuation. Art is in addition both genial and quick witted, talents which could sometimes be detected during the various class lectures, in his clever if forbidden elaboration on the different theories and theses under discussion. More especially were they manifest however, in the famous lunchroom forum where Art ' s lack of size proved no handicap to his forensic ability. Possessor of unusual business qualifications, Art will be a valuable asset to any firm with which he may become associated. Here ' s to your future. Art, may it ever be prosperous and filled with every success. Dorchester B. C. Club. Tennis Team. 3,4. 4 JOHN FRANCIS KILEY 14 George Street Norwood, Mass. LET us introduce you. kind reader, to one of Norwood ' s proudest represen- tatives, — John Kiley. For four long years he has travelled to and from Boston College, so eager was he to absorb the classic and philosophical master- pieces, so eager was he to be ranked as a loyal son of Maroon and Gold. We cannot but admire the persistency and determination of this faithful student of learning, John is a graduate of Norwood High School, where he was prominent in athletics as well as in social and scholastic activities. Upon his arrival at the Heights however, he had little time for athletics, as his scholastic duties claimed whatever spare time he had. But later on, as progress in his studies became secured, John found time to devote to the more energetic, yet less exhausting sport of track. From this latter diversion, a keen rivalry soon sprang up between him and Henry Groden concerning the respective sprinting abilities of each. This fatal issue has not as yet been decided. Though the exact nature of his future is as yet undetermined, we feel that we may well predict for John unlimited success in whatever occupation he may choose. Freshman Baseball. 1.

C. and now after four years, he is ready to go back to Maiden, a finished product. Bill immediately became a leader in his Freshman year by being elected president of his section: being called The boy with the Everready Smile. Having won the B. C. High emblem as a center and an end on the football team. Bill again helped the class on to four years of victorious seasons. As a Senior, because of his shrewd business ability, Bill was placed on the ring committee and the class is thankful to him for the excellent class ring. Being a true son of Maiden he has faithfully served for four years with the Maiden B. C. Club and was elected president in his Junior year. Everyone knows Bill as Sam the Salesman when he put forth on the market class pins, pennants and badges, all announcing Boston, the only college of importance. Because of his success in college business and fighting heart obtained from football, we all know Bill is bound to rise to the top of the ladder. Success. And we can loudly proclaim to the world in the words of one of our classmates To Bill Sullivan, one of Maiden ' s finest. With an everlasting smile meaning a good word for everyone, it can ' t help but make Bill a leader of men as he was a leader of his classmates. Class Football Team. I. 4. History Academy, 4.

TOMMY is one of our genial classmates who hails from Dorchester, a staunch defender of that wooded section. So too has he consistently sup- ported every Boston College activity, athletic as well as academic. For three winters. Tommie could always be found at the Boston Arena, laboring in behalf of the hockey team which-he managed for three years. However all of Tommies time was not concentrated on the rubber disc. His entire record is ample proof that he wasted little of his precious time while at the Heights. A thorough intellectual training -was Tommie ' s big objective and he certainly attained his goal. We have no axe to grind when we say that he upheld the best traditions of the men who have gone before him. While his nature has not been such as to force him into the public eye, yet his work in behalf of the class and school is most commendable. We who know him well are certain that he will render a good account of himself in the years to come. Good-luck, Tommie.

John Alexander has indeed been prominent m the history of the class and to his cheery good-nature we owe many a pleasant hour. From his plebe days. Hank has ever been a staunch supporter of class activities, bringing with him, whenever the occasion demanded a suitable companion. Gifted with an attractive disposition, this young man nevertheless managed to keep in the background of class affairs until his jumping jack days in Junior, when he became the nemesis of Father McCluskey. John has since been a prominent member of various class committees, as well as taking a part in the annual dramatic production. The cheery greeting of J. Alexander, his blond hair faultlessly parted, has been a landmark of our college days. In fact, Hank ' s innocent smile has aroused the suspicions of many a prof. Upon this unfailing good nature, we base the prediction that John will succeed, no matter what the obstacles, for it is indeed hard to see where such a genial, optimistic, all-around good fellow can fail.

VERSATILITY and Eddie ' s name have been closely allied during the past four years by the members of the class, — and not without good reason. Especially however, does he shine as a student, taking particular delight in solving the difficulties and falsities of ethics. But philosophy is only a partial factor in Ed ' s intellectual life. With the perserverance of a Pasteur and with the science of a Hoffman, he delves into the respective branches of biology and chemistry. To watch him during a lecture on some important and weighty philoso- phical problem gives one the impression of being in the presence of one of the world ' s great thinkers. Yet on the same evening this same affable youth might be discovered at the gilded temple of the goddess Terpsichore, surrounded on all sides by fair admirers. Whenever Ed talks, he has something worth while to say and says it with precision and conviction. He would be an adornment to any bar, — that is, of course, any legal bar. We cannot predict with absolute surety the course of life which he has chosen. Whether as a business man, lawyer or medical luminary, we are confident that Ed Eagan will be at the top of the proverbial ladder with a courage that hesitates at no obstacles. Brosnahan Debating. 1.

By travelling day in and day out from Sharon, Frankie has shown the stuff of which men are made. As an all around fellow, one could look for and find no better than our husky sorrel-topped friend, an athlete and a scholar. In his Freshman year, he clearly demonstrated his ability as an athlete by catching for the championship baseball team of 1922, which team won twenty-eight straight games. How- ever, Frank found that athletics absorbed too much of his precious time, so he forsook the diamond for the well known studies. Here he achieved an even great.er success, receiving honors in nearly every branch. From our dim Freshman days, we find it easy to recall the spirit of sin- cerity and congeniality that characterized his personality. With such endearing him to the hearts of his classmates. Frank has a friend in each of us. No matter what be his choice for the future, we are sure that he will render a good account of his stewardship. Vale. Varsity Baseball Team. 1,1. Class Baseball, 1. JOHN JOSEPH MISKELLA, Jr. 130 Bridge Street Newton, Mass. AMONG the ever increasing multitude that daily plods to the Heights, may be seen the familiar figure of Johnny Miskella. And thus for years he wended his way hither in pursuit of truth. Johnny ' s name has not been emblazoned in the world of sports, but he bids fair to be heard from in a far greater field. Extracurricular activities of scholastic nature have held a fine appeal for him: in his calm and unperturbed way he has gone along stocking up his storehouse of knowledge to release it wherever it will do the most good. Quiet and unobtrusive. Johnny has always been, for such a manner suited him best. He is a firm supporter of ail that goes on at the Heights; ever ready to assume a burden or lend a helping hand: always cheerful and never weary, he does wonders and makes us wonder at it. We expect to hear great things from Johnny in the world. He has learned well and in due proportion, his labor has been of a lasting nature; his influence quickly felt and not easily forgotten. And we fear not that success will be his. wherever he may roam. Brosnahan. 1. Marquette. 1. History Academy. 4. Radio Club. 1. 2. at MURRAY FRANCIS BROWN 440 HoLLis Street Framingham, Mass. THAT the fame of Boston College and Maroon and Gold has been increased materially during the past four years in the close vicinity of Framingham is due directly to the influence of one Murray Brown. Murray is a real fellow and is extremely popular among his classmates as well as among his fellow towns- men. During his first two years on the Heights, Murray spent much of his spare time on the track, and not without gratifying results. He was one of Jack Ryder ' s star distance men and was equally proficient at cross-country or at the less vigorous work on the cinder path. In Junior, however, his studies took up practically all of his time and he was forced to forfeit a promising track career for a less glorious but more substantial scholastic endeavor. Murray is already a successful business man and will in time meet with unusual success in this line, if his work here at college can be taken as any criterion. We are confident that he will do great things in the future, both for himself and for the college. Track Team, 1 , 2. Fulton. 4. B. C. Club of Framingham, 1 , Z, 3 , 4. Marquette Debating, 1, 2. THOMAS VINCENT GEAGAN 20 Adams Street Newtonville, Mass. FOR his four years at college, Tom has worked and studied. He cannot bear to be idle. At first he started in a fruit store to secure the necessary shekels, going from there into the delicatessen business, followed by a position on the B. K A. All of which goes to prove that the only time he was not busy was during his sleep. Even then we believe he dreamed of selling an occa- sional ticket or two. In the midst, however, Tom found time to engage in the activities here at the Heights. Football and track have claimed his attention and class activities have succeeded through his initiative and good will. To say that Tom is popular is but to repeat the words of the sage, Popu- larity is His. The causes of this gift are peculiarly his own. A true exponent of real college spirit, a loyal son of his Alma Mater; ever fighting till the end on the side of the right; frank and straight-forward at all times; a friend till the end; such are the qualities of his sterling character, which we sincerely hope will be his throughout the battle of life.

TOM. as he is known not only to his classmates, but also to his pro- fessors, came to the Heights four years ago almost a perfect stranger, due to the fact that he prep-ed in Pennsylvania, but a barrier like that was not sufficient to keep Tom in the background. Within the short space of two months he became known throughout the college as The Literateur and while in Sophomore, his inclination in this way was the cause of his reception of the cognomen of Zumpt. Indeed one may truthfully say that Tom is the best read man in the college. Enough of the past and the present, what of the future? Yes, Tom is very wisely going to capitalize his gift and follow a life of writing. But where and in what line? This we do not know for sure, but for the past two years Tom has received the New York Sunday Times, directly from the Dramatic Editor. Of course this may be due to a friendship that we know nothing of. but we have a suspicion that there is something more than friendship behind this steady flow of literature. Tom. if your four years in college are any criterion in this line, we can see nothing but the greatest success for you in the gentle art of informing the public of the merits of various dramas, etc.. so we shall not be satisfied until we sec you Dramatic Editor of some note-worthy publication.

WHEN we first saw Frank we thought that he was of the most conservative type, but we have learned of our error in four year ' s friendship at the Heights. Unk is far from the conservative type, in fact his radical ideas have caused many a laugh in our four years, and then too, no one could be of the conservative type coming from Jamaica Plain. To hitch your wagon to a star was taken seriously by our very loqua- cious and energetic classmate. Witness his close attachment to Johneer Crowley, a fellow townsman from Jamaica Plain. Endowed with a remarkable flow of wit and a latent fountain of wisdom which would sink Old Solomon in the mire of oblivion, his indifferent attitude towards things serious and his ability to crack a joke without smiling, has inscribed his name in the book beside that of Neal O ' Hara and Bugs Baer.

IIB TMRM I ALBERT RICHARD O ' NEAL 125 Browne Street Brookline, Mass. FAMOUS sayings by famous men has always been a favorite for publi- cations, and this book should be no exception. Is there anyone in the senior class who is not familiar with that famous saying, that ditty which has become almost a by-word with Boston College men of the past few years, namely, Give us a break ? Pictured above, we have the representation of Al O ' Neal, the originator of that far-famed utterance. From the time when he first entered the college, Al has been a familiar figure whenever the Eagle forces appeared in public, whether on the gridiron, on the diamond, or on the ice surface. Dame Injury has always played an important part in his athletic career and has hindered him somewhat in achieving success. Our ever-genial fellow Senior really basked in the sunlight of fame for the first time when, after a bitter struggle, he was promoted from the scrubs and rose to the occasion in the Syracuse game. Playing the game of his career, he guarded his flank in a remarkable fashion, and not a gain could the Orange forces make at his position. From then on, his position being assured him, he performed nobly. Good luck, Al, and may that smile which has radiated so much sunshine among your associates at Boston College carry you through when you migrate from the sacred portals of Alma Mater.

Doug as his pals have named him is probably more serious minded than the famous actor he is named after, though he is indeed just as agile, and every bit as popular. Throughout his four years, he has been one of the best students of the class and in Junior he shone when capturing several prizes for scholarship. He possesses a fine pitching arm and every year has gone out for baseball, though he has never made the first team. Every football and track game for the past four years has seen him present to cheer the teams on to victory, and besides this, he is an authority on general sports reeling off the batting averages and positions of most every player in the big leagues. Silence is golden, that is one of his mottoes but for those who know him, he has the gift of loquacity. By his popularity, he is firmly entrenched in the hearts of his classmates. He is further distinguished as a member of the three F ' s who. since Junior, have worked and played together, and in future years we expect to hear much from this famous three. So to you we extend our heartiest good wishes and know that success will knock frequently at your door. Brosnahan Debating Society. 1. President Class Section C 2. Football. 1. Baseball. 1. 2. 3. 4. THOMAS CLEMENT HERLIHY 34 PiNCKNEY Street Somerville, Mass. TOM is one of our shining lights from Somerville. and to those who are acquainted with the affairs of that illustrious community, this is no small tribute. And considering his close connection with that milk concern, known to the world at large as Herlihy Brothers, how could he help but be a regular Grade A fellow? However his outside interests are not his chief concern, for he has never failed when there was a question of sacrifice to be made in behalf of the college, and in every one of his undertakings, ability and efficiency are his natural characteristics. At the never to be forgotten invasion of Syracuse, he was one of the first to arrive and the last to go, and when wc met West Point on the track, we found that Tom too, had crossed the lordly Hudson to cheer his classmates along. During the past two vears. he has directed his attention toward debating, and a ' gain he has met with marked success. As a member of the Fulton, he was appointed debate manager, and credit is due him for arranging the record schedule of the Fulton teams, which has made this year the most successful year the Fulton has ever known. In actual debating, Tom more than held his own, and was a prominent member of the lecture team. His energy and unselfishness are bound to carry him far along the road to success. Don ' t forget us, Tom, old boy. Glee Club. 1 , 2. Brosnuhan Debating Society, 1. Fulton Debating Society. 4. Radio Club, 1. French Academy. 4.

Never will we forget the image of a be-goggled John, roaring over Albany roads en route to Syracuse. Ah, there was a game for you! One must know John as we do to really and truly love him as we do. Genial, affable, ever sunny and smiling, he quite won our hearts long before the close of Freshman Year. Then what a rollicking and frolicking ensued! Games, parties, dances: every conceivable kind of merrymaking! And for one grand little joymaker. for one small but lively party, give us John. Don ' t get us wrong, though. Far weightier affairs than tea-parties occu- pied John ' s time. You probably know — but then, how could you — that John is the one directly responsible for the institution of Fathers ' Day on the Heights. Four years of planning and suggesting saw the realization of John ' s dream. Naturally he directed the destiny of his new boon, and what a success it was! Appreciative fathers even now plan the erection of a tablet to John ' s name. It ' s an extraordinary plan, we admit, but then, when was John ever regarded as ordinary ' Brosnahan. I. Marquette. 2.

GUS is well known throughout the college not only for his extra-class activity, but also for his study and research in scientific realms. He has certainly distinguished himself and can always be found among the leading scholars. He is known not only in Massachusetts but also in New York where with his Ford chariot, he attempted to stage a modern chariot race. Taking the part of Ben Hur, he strove valiantly to reach his goal, — the B. C. -Syracuse game, but was delayed, due to humming floor boards and all else that can happen to a Ford. Nevertheless, Gus showed the old spirit in trying to get there. If this same spirit is a criterion of any worth, Gus will surely bask in the light pf prominence in the world of endeavor. Mr. Keefe, it is reported, will embrace a business career. The business world will certainly find in Gus wealth and ability and profound knowledge.

ROBERT AUSTIN SHEA 1119 S. Peroria Street Tulsa, Oklahoma WE may point out a fellow for his scholastic standing, or for his athletic prowess or for his extra-curricular activity, but when we signal out Bob it is because of his personality. Bob is an individual and we can best express his characteristics by saying, He is Bob Shea. Whether it was in class, which he enlivened by his occasional sparks of wit, or in the Fulton, where his expression of opinion was always appreciated. Bob had full attention at his first word. If you chanced to meet him going down the walks to Lake Street, you had the opportunity to engage in a conversation that showed the keenness of his mind and the foresight of his intellect. His range of topics covered a wide field which denoted a man who had made good use of his contacts with the world and who had profited by his experiences. And too, you could readily observe that he was a man who kept up with the times and was broadened by accurate insight into matters of national import. Bob is well prepared to start out on life. He has developed his natural characteristics to a degree that assure him his place in the ranks of the men who do worth while things. We are glad to greet you as our classmate. Bob, and we shall never forget that you are one of us. Marquette, 2. Fulton, 3, 4. LAWRENCE PAUL KILLILEA 6 Massasoit Street Mattapan, Mass. A LEADER in all things. That aptly describes Larry Killilea, brown haired, blue eyed, B sweatered Larry from Mattapan. Larry was a leader in track, a pole vaulter, the Eagle ' s Charlie Hoff. His oratorical ability was accountable fof the sixty thousand votes that Mayor Nichols secured last fall. Larry campaigned in favor of Teddy Glynn. In finance, he was easily the wizard of the class, the Ponzi of ' 26. L was he who had charge of the reception to the victorious football team of 1925. On the following Monday he came to class, tired and weary, but with the coffers of the class filled to overflowing. Larry did valiant work in the Heights office, turning out column after column of feature copy during his four years stay ' neath the towers. Yes, he was the sporting editor of the Heights and certainly the most sporting editor that illustrious paper ever had. What is Larry going to do in June? One of Father Creeden ' s clairvoy- ants tells us that he is going to work just as quickly as possible. Why the hurry? What do you suppose any young man with eyes of Irish blue is in a hurry about?

Clate is noted for his ability to have a good time, no matter what the circumstances or surroundings. This talent has done much to make him one of the most popular men in the class, where his good-natured bantering is best known and appreciated. In addition to his geniality, Clate is gifted with no small amount of athletic ability, which he proves by modestly admitting that he has eaten dried toast on two distinct training tables. He has performed for the hockey fans at the Arena for several seasons and, in addition is a baseball player of no small repute. Coach Slattery is indeed fortunate in having such a dependable third-sacker. With that same spirit of enthusiasm has he participated in all the workings of the class, always doing his utmost to further its prosperity and success. Clate boasts of a charter membership in the famous Lunch-Room Club where his fluent conversation and ready wit have featured many a pleasant and drawn out meeting.

WE have met some who have been good students and others who have been good fellows; but wc seldom see a fellow that combines these per- fections. A good student, and a good fellow — that ' s Bill Melea. Perhaps Bill is not the most popular fellow on the Heights, but he is one of the most likeable. Returning to join our class after satisfying his desire for practical experience, he brought a smile with him which has never left him. Even the rigors of Pedagogy could not erase his smile. During Bill ' s practical experience, he decided to enter the teaching pro- fession. May he climb the ladder of success in his chosen profession and retain his smile as we have known him. Fulton. 4. CHESTER ROBERT ARNOLD 4 Albion Street Salem, Mass. AMONG the many members of the Senior classes, one who has never made much noise in the activity of the class, but who is always a shining light in the various enterprises that the class of ' 26 has initiated, is Chet Arnold. Chet possessed the uncanny ability of solving all the philosophical diffi- culties that were ever presented to him. His pleasing personality has made many friends for him during his college years, not the sunny-weather-glad-hand variety, but the real, lasting kind. We do not know what he will do during the coming years, or to whom he will impart his abundant knowledge, but we are willing to wager that he will always be at the top of the ladder in his chosen field of activity: that he will do his best and give his best. So. fellows, whenever you reminisce on old classmates, don ' t forget Chet Arnold, for he is a man worth remembering as the higher type of man graduat- ed in the class of ' 26. Good-luck, Chet. and may your example be a source of inspiration to others. Track. I. Fulton. 3. 4. Heights, 3. B. C. Club of Salem. 1,2.3, 4, Treasurer. 3. History Academy, 4. JOSEPH PATRICK MURPHY 128 Boyd Street Newton, Mass. WE who have followed the destinies of the athletic teams are quite familiar with the name of J. P. Murphy. Oh! But you have made a mistake, dear reader. Although we meet another person with the same initials, we realize that Joseph P. Murphy is a man of an entirely different character and claiming no relation to the Chelsea timber-topper. Joe hails from the suburb city of Newton and in his own words he says, Give me the Garden City first, last and always. He has confined his activities to the debating societies and the Glee Club while at University Heights, but in these two especially important departments of extra-curricular work he has stood out preeminently. As a diligent and tireless worker in scholastic fields, as well as those out- side of the classroom, Joe has gained the admiration of all his fellow classmen. We have confidence in your future endeavors, Joe, and feel certain that soon your fondest hopes will be realized. liaiUo Club. 1. Glee Club. 1. Marquette. 1. 2. Fullc JAMES EAGAN FARRICY 25 Mayhew Street Dorchester, Mass. IN the fall of 1922, there came to the heig hts from the far-distant country- side of Dorchester, a young man for whom was destined no small amount of success in collegiate life. Now this future alumnus of Boston College is none other than James Farricy. Although not a star on the athletic field. Jim ' s brilliancy was manifested in other fields of endeavor. In scholastic achievement, especially in the languages and in philosophy was his ability outstanding. We all have the utmost confidence that his unassuming manner will win for him a host of friends along the path of life, even as it won for him many ardent admirers at the Heights. Let us hope that his success will be speedy and continued, and that Jim will merit as befits a man of his talents and education. Continue to smile, Jim, and may the years serve to increase the good nature of your sunny disposition. Freshman Baseball. 1. Track. 1. Debating. 1. Dorchester B. C. Club. I, 2, 3. JAMES FRANCIS HICKEY 203 South Main Street Natick. Mass. JIM is one of the most versatile athletes in the class. He has served his Alma Mater on the basketball court, on the gridiron and on the cinder path. When basketball was in its prime, our Jim was one of the mainstays, being a regular for four years and being captain of the victorious 1923 quintet. Not content with these laurels, Jim made an early appearance on the gridiron as a candidate for an end position. After three long years as a sub his efforts were rewarded when he won the coveted B during the course of the one-sided victory over the Crusaders. In addition to all this he found time to go out for track. Here, it is true, he did not win a letter, but this was not due to any lack of ability but rather to the fact that he could not give enough, time to training, his studies taking up most of his spare time. The college may well be proud of men of Jim ' s type, men who are ready to give their all for their Alma Mater, men who hesitate at no sacrifice, men who can be relied on, — such a man was Jim.

C. of his counterpart, our equally wellknown Tom Kelliher. Tom lives in Beverly and has spent his summers for the past two years, keeping her residents well supplied with ice. He aspires to a higher vocation than the ice business however, and we see him diligently studying typewriting and shorthand in addition to his regular courses in order to be better prepared to conquer the business world. One of the most notable characteristics possessed by Tom is his predilec- tion for dazzling raiment. This fancy finds expressions especially in his choice of hatbands, — the crimson and grey headdress that he wore last, won for him the admiration and envy of those less courageous in the face of derision. There is one record Tom set up in his Junior year that will never be equalled by his classmates. In the short space of a fortnight, he was in three automobile accidents with nary a scratch to any of the participants — which augers well for his success in meeting life ' s misfortunes. Under his jaunty exterior, Tom is a sincere student, which trait is reflected in his high scholastic record. A spirit of resolution combined with the business acumen which is his will surely bring him a position among men of affairs. We look forward with pleasure to your prosperous future. Tom. Brosnahan.

White i=— FATHERS ' DAY DOWN into the pages of history is written another undying deed to the renown of the class of 1926. On February 28th, a committee of seniors waited on Fr. Rector to ask his advice con cerning the plan for setting aside the 19th of April as Fathers ' Day at Boston College. The idea was received enthusiastically by both faculty and students. Hence the day was ushered in with Fr. Dolan celebrating a mass in the morning for the souls of the deceased fathers. At noon an assembly of fathers and sons was held in the rotunda with Father McHugh welcoming the visitors: then came an inspection of the buildings. At three o ' clock the fathers were guests at a fine struggle between Boston College and Fordham. Benediction followed in the auditorium in which father and son knelt in unison at the altar of God, asking His blessing. Supper was served in the evening in the assembly hall, and talks were given by Father Rector, and members of the faculty. The day was a success beyond the greatest expectations of the Seniors, and so it is the hope of the class of 1926 that all succeeding classes will continue to set aside this day for their dads.

Representative WORTHY as have been the achievements of the class of ' 26, during the past four years, those of the present Junior class are fitting company for them in the annals of the college. Especially in the current school year, the class of ' 27 has shown great versatility, and in every branch of college activities it has been well represented. The class was fortunate in its selection of officers, and under their guidance the affairs of the year, both academic and extra-cur- ricular have prospered. In athletics, the Junior class has contributed its share to the heroes of Boston College history. Joseph J. McKenney was rewarded with the captaincy of the 1927 football team, while Jack Cronin and Dinnie McNamara were outstanding figures throughout the season. Track gave opportunities for Bill McKillop, Luke McCluskey and Joe Ingoldsby to feature prominently in the reports of the indoor season. Tubber Cronin, captain elect, and Pierce Fitzgerald were mainstays of the hockey team, especially the former, who was selected as first string forward on the all-collegiate team. In debating, the class has accomplished more than perhaps any of its predecessors, and has caused a tremendous revival of interest in debating at B. C. Starting in the Brosnahan, under Martin P Harney. S. J., its guiding spirit and mentor, the class orators continued through the Marquette, and now in the Fulton, duing the past year, have performed brilliantly in the many victories of the society. A Junior, William M. Gillin, took the much-prized Oratorical Con- test award in competition with many Seniors. The social obligations of the class were not neglected, and the Junior week, from Feb. 1-5, has continued the precedent of past years. The class smoker, show, the Junior Week Pictorial, and the Junior-Senior Hockey Game, were all pronounced successes. In addition, Communion and Benediction for the assembled students was instituted as a regular feature of Junior Week, for the emulation of incoming classes. The class of 1927 will surely prove in every way a successor worthy of that of 1926. Soph omores SOPHOMORE CLASS Daniel J. Driscoll President John S. Delaney Vice-President James V. Duffy Treasurer Matthew S. Gallahue . ... Secretary C. Owen Dooley . . . A. A. Representative THE Sophomore class has always taken a leading part in all act- ivities at Boston College, and during the past year this interest has, if anything, increased. In a college such as ours, great, not in the number of its students, but in the training which it gives them, such support on the part of all is essential, and the Class of 1928 has lived up to the best traditions of the college in every field. Whether we look on the lists of the football, baseball, hockey or track teams, we see the names of Sophomores equal to the fore- most of those who have brought honor to Boston College in every branch of athletics during the past year. When others of their manifold activities are considered we again find members of the Class of 1928 outstanding. The Mar- quette Debating Society has had a most successful year. The Heights and the Stylus have profited by the support of the present Sopho- mores. The Glee Club and the Band have numbered more Sopho- mores in their ranks than ever before. The French, Spanish and Greek Academies have found Sophomores in prominent positions, as well as has the Dramatic Society. The result has been that more men of ' 28 than of any other class except Senior were members of the Students Activities Council. It has been the ambition of every class to have each man in the class know the other and in the Class of ' 28 that ideal is rapidly be- coming a reality. One of the greatest means to that end has been the holding of social functions. The Sophomores during the past year conducted a number of very successful ones of which the two out- standing were the Smoker, to which members of the other classes were invited, held on April 16, which was universally judged the most successful that any class has yet held; and especially, the Sopho- more Soiree of April 23, which ranked close behind this year ' s Junior Promenade as the most successful ever conducted by any class and far surpassed all past attempts of other Sophomore classes. The Class of 1928 need only continue on the path upon which it began, with its enviable record last year in Ereshman. It has con- tinued during the past year in Sophomore to emulate the great class- es which have preceded it. 4 Fresh men FRESHMAN William F. Flynn President Robert B. O ' Donoghue . . . Vice-President William N. Drummey .... Secretary John H. Barnwell Treasurer Louis J. Scolponeti . . A. A. Representative THE class of 1929 was prominent in both intellectual and athlet- ic endeavor. The Freshman team of the Marquette Debating Society was successful in its career, having to its credit a victory over the Brown ' 29 team. In the Marquette Prize Debate, Mr. Leen up- held the honor of his class against five Sophomores. He received second choice in the final decision of the judges. The English Acad- emy, composed of members of the Freshman class, went far toward intellectual improvement in English. No small part of the credit must be given Mr. Charles Dowd, professor of Freshman, whose zeal in behalf of 1929 was untiring. The History, French and Spanish Academies drew a liberal membership from the Freshman class. The Glee Club was fortunate in procuring the services of Mr. Arthur Hagan, ' 29 as baritone in the quartet. Mr. Hagan is a fin- ished artist, so it can be readily seen how the Club profited by his being a member. The octet and entire role of the Glee Club realised a plentiful sprinkling of lowly Freshmen. In Dramatics, Terrence G. Cavanaugh, R. Felix Doherty and John F. Fitzgerald brought credit and renown to the incomers by their splendid acting. Freshmen sprang into the limelight at the start of the football season when the report that the regular lineup would include five freshmen went abroad. These men played a sterling part in the glorious victory over Holy Cross. They are Smith, Weston, McGurk, Sheehan and Wilczewski. Their names are well known, so we do not have to tell of their brilliant efforts for the glo- ry of Boston College. Coach Jack Ryder was seen sporting a broad smile, last September, and the reason is obvious. The stars and promising material that the Freshman Class contributed to the track squad would be an asset to any college. With McCabe, Quinn, Keenan, Reagan, Riordan and Orpen, not to mention Wilczewski and Beach, in the field events. Jack Ryder will be relieved of worry in the future. Baseball has some aspirants that belong to the i n- fants , who look as though they might be luminaries in the embryo. There are Scolponetti, O ' Day, Smith, Bond and McNulty, who have already attracted the attention of Coach Slattery. Thus it can be seen that the Freshman have been outstanding in every activity within their scope during the past year. Att|kttrB BOSTON COLLEGE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS EDWARD A. HARRISON President FRANK A. REYNOLDS Graduate iVIanaaer TIMOTHY P. McCarthy Vice-President FRANCIS S. RUSSELL Secretary ATHLETICS To-day is preeminently a day of over-emphasis in sports. That is, at least among those colleges whose athletic teams have lost more than their share of games. Strangely enough the possessors of vic- torious elevens and nines have kept a death-like silence amid the roar and turmoil of their less fortunate brethren. Inasmuch as there have been no rumors of over-emphasis circulating around the Eagle ' s eyrie, it must be inferred that the Maroon and Gold is numbered a- mong the successful — a fact that the majority of our rivals admit. We of Boston College are justly proud of her world-v ide ath- letic fame. In the years to come when we are hoary-headed grads we shall look back upon our college days in softened retrospect. The glorious elevens, now historic, shall rise up again before us, and in our mind ' s eye shall again batter their way down the field, — the fierce tackling Urban, the sure toed Fitzpatrick, the dare-devil Hea- phy, and the blond haired Darling. Once again shall we relieve the thrill of that last throw to the tape as the fleetest of the Eagle ' s brood flash-by, — the lion-hearted DriscoU, the tireless Lermond, the lofty soaring Flahive, and the timber-topping Murphy. The rafters of the Arena shall shake again to the thunderous ' Regular Bostons ' as we dream of that immortal team of ' midgets ' , the greatest college hoc- key team ever assembled in the United States, — Foley with his ever present smile, Culhane and his iron ' skimmer ' , Fitzgerald of nerve- less fame, and the swift skating Groden. From the shady sweep of Alumni Field softly floats the umpire ' s Play Ball . There they are, the stars of our college days, — ' Squash ' Wilson, ' Chuck ' Dar ling, ' Bill ' Cronin, ' Ed ' MuUowney, Costigan and Murphy. Ah! There was a team for you. But, our college days are over. What little athletic glory our Class contributed to Alma Mater we pass on to the succeeding class- es to increase and to perpetuate. Let us not think of mere victories and defeats in looking back upon our four years upon the Heights, but let us rather think only of the fair play and good sportsmanship of the rival athletes without which no college, however often victor- ious, can truly be said to be successful. Football FOOTBALL COACH MESSAGE My Seniors — I hate to see you go. FOR four years we have travelled the road together, and your service has been sincere, intelligent and generous. This could not have been without mutual respect between pupils and teachers. You have been typically a class of linemen — bulwarks on the defense and advance guards on the attack. You have learned well the lessons of obedience, fundamental preparation and co-operation and you know the full meaning of I can! and I will! Yes, Men, always, always ' charge. but never — unless you arc ready to follow through. A start never won a race and a charge without following through is but a bad debt upon the conscience. And now, as we come to the parting of the ways, I wish you Bon Voyage! May you seldom have to gasp They shall not pass! But whenever the little Inner-Self whispers, Charge and carry through — oh then, then. Men. — Well done! V Cl S-5 FOOTBALL With the advent of the Class of 1926 to the Eagle ' s eyrie on the Heights there came a host of magnificent football warriors that were to carry on the undying traditions of Alma Ma- ter. Her mighty guards. Captain Jack Dona- hue and Arthur McManus: her sparkling ends. Grattan O ' Connell, Edward Harrison and Albert O ' Neal: Stephen Kobalinski, the demon center who was destined to flash like a meteor for a single all important game; her fighting halfbacks. William Cronin, Arthur Johnson, and Owen Murphy; William Crean and Erank Colbert and James Hickey and all the rest. The Maroon and Gold has seen many an array of stars leave her historic halls, but never in such numbers as with the Class of 1926. Freshman Year we started with a rush and succeeded in defeat- ing Boston University and Fordham before Detroit and Lafayette Leo E. 0-Hcarn administered baptisimal defeats. Thereafter all was plain sailing, victories over Villanover, Baylor and Canisius preceding a glorious defeat of Holy Cross in which O ' Connell recovered Flash Broussard ' s fumble of a punt and ran 51 yards for a touchdown, with Cronin and Donahue helping by their brilliant playing. In Sophomore we saw a powerful Marquette eleven deprive the Eagle of an undefeated record for the season by the margin of a sin- gle point. Little Arthur Johnson was the addition of 1926 ' s contri- bution this year. By Junior Year our representatives on the eleven were more numerous, despite which fact the team failed to function smoothly and consistently. Defeats by Syracuse, Centenary and Holy Cross more than nullified wins over Providence, Haskell, Marquette and Allegheny. Al O ' Neal flashed in the Syracuse game along side of Owen Murphy and Eddie Harrison, O ' Connell, McManus, Donahue and Cronin. These men were laying the foundation for the glori ous season of ' 25. With the greatest of her heroes lost by graduation, the Eagle ' s outlook at the beginnmg of the present season was none too bright. Gone was the fairhaired Darling with his magic toe; gone was the mankilHng Koslowsky and his battered shoulders: gone too was the smashing Cronin, the crushing Ward, and the brainy Doyle. In their place lingered only Captain Donahue, O ' Connell, and McManus in the line and a battered McKenny with another Cronin in the backfield. All the East awaited the first struggle of the Maroon and Gold with the fast and tricky eleven from Catholic University. The result was not cheering. In a sea of mud that rendered open play practically impossible the Eagle barely managed to squeeze out a 6-0 win in a bitter and close fought battle. Out of a dark and murky sky Bud Dower plucked a surprisingly well- directed forward pass and splashed his way across the opposing goal- line for the only score of a drab afternoon. The Haskell Indians, fuming under the ignominy of their past defeat, next came East bringing with them their massive tackle Roe- buck and that mighty warrior Levi. Throughout four long periods of play the fighting bucks of the Western plains outplayed the Whitcfaced Eagles, but when the fin al whistle trilled, across the dark- ening gridiron the trusty toe of Art McManus had swung a 7-6 vic- tory to the Maroon and Gold. For the first time in his college career half-back Smith of the Indians missed a goal from touchdown, and it was a costly mistake. Not yet had the long blackboard talks and practice sessions made themselves felt in the Eagle ' s teamwork, but the traditional fight and dash of all Boston teams was imbued in the heart of every member of the squad, a spirit that was to carry the eleven to ultimate victory. In the third game of the season against Boston University the Maroon and Gold flashed its first great promise of a high scoring offensive when it ran wild over a fighting but inexperienced Terrier eleven. The heart of every true Boston College supporter soared high as Jack Cronin. and later Owen Murphy, slashed viciously on an off tackle for smashing gains. The swirling punts of Cronin were beautiful to see and drove the in-town University boys down the field for sixty and sixty-five yard set-backs. In the center of the line Dower was alternating at line-bucking and spearing short, flat passes over the line of scrimmage, while any Terrier advance fortu- nate to penetrate beyond the Eagle ' s line of scrimmage was instantly crashed to earth by a youthful hurricane by the name of Smith. The 51-7 score announced to all the world that Boston College was yet to be heard from. Meanwhile, up Worcester way, a veteran Cru- sader eleven had already ' arrived. ' Its dream of many years had been fulfilled. Harvard had been beaten 7-6, and while the Cavmen were still drilling in fundamentals, the Purple warriors were gaily executing triple passes and sweeping end runs. Holy Cross was achieving while Boston was preparing. In Tom Davies ' Allegheny eleven, however, Boston College met opposition of a sterner mold. Here was a line that refused to be outcharged, a backfield that ground relentlessly forward. Led by their brilliant quarter-back, Dolde, the Mountaineers outrushed the Eagles four to one, and bent and twisted the linesmen from the Heights at will. One defensive weapon alone they lacked, a good kicker. And because of that one omission they journeyed back to Pennsylvania a sadder but wiser eleven with a 14-7 defeat chalked up against them by a team that had not yet learned its real strength. High and far soared Cronin ' s punts, and ever was O ' Connell down beneath them, ready to throw the receiver even as he caught the ball. rs «. Boston won as the result of a recovered fumble by O ' Connell and a cleverly executed pass to Dower, but the line play of the Maroon and Gold was wretched. Dahl, the visitor ' s plunging fullback alone gained more ground than the entire Eagle back-field. But despite her faults B. C. was coming into her own, and a week later saw her trampling upon a Providence eleven that had bothered the Purple of Holy Cross not a little. The 51-0 score accurately showed the Eagle ' s advantage. Not once did Providence get within the twenty yard line, and never did they seriously threaten. Holy Cross beat Bucknell. the conquerors of Georgetown, the same afternoon, but the Eagle was not yet thinking of the Purple. One good thing at a time was sufficient for her. But like all good things victory sometimes swings the other way, and so it proved when the mighty West Virginia University hove upon the scene at Braves Field. Here was the team that had made football history in the South, and well did they live up to their reputations. The elusive Glenn, the will-o-the-wisp Farley, and the battering Barnum, together gained some 400 yards in the after- noon ' s struggle but not without one of the most magnificent battles a Maroon and Gold eleven has ever made. Outplayed from the start and facing one of the most tricky shifts B. C. has ever been forced to oppose, the Eagle ' s brood gained a host of admirers in the 20-0 trouncing they were forced to sustain. Boston College, in her first defeat, showed greater strength than in any one of her victories. She had a kicker in Cronin the equal of any in the country, she had a clever forward passing attack, and she had a fighting eleven that did not know when it was whipped. And besides, Fordham had tumbled the proud Purple 1 7-0. The future was brighter. The injury to Captain Donahue in the early part of the season had been a hard blow to the team, and now the injury to her other veteran guard. McManus, was to cost her a second defeat. In a bitterly fought contest against the second representative of the State of West Virginia, that against West Virginia Wesleyan, Boston suffered a heartbreaking defeat by the score of 7-6. Not that the rugged mountaineers did not deserve to win, they outplayed the Maroon and Gold, but that the defeat should result from a missed goal from touchdown carried the sting. Late in the fourth period Wesleyan opened up with a drive that was not to be denied, and, despite a mag- nificent goal-line stand by the Cavmen, carried the pigskin across the last fatal chalk-line. Corcoran kicked the goal that meant the game. B. C. ' s touchdown came as the result of a brilliant forward pass, McNamara to Cronin, followed by a pretty double pass, Mc- Namara to Weston to McNamara, that completely fooled the Moun- taineers. • Wilczewski ' s attempt at the goal struck the cross-bar, but not until later in the game was the seriousness of this failure made manifest. Then at last in the one big objective game of the year the Eagle came into its own. From a second-rate, plodding team to a team of championship calibre the Heights ' eleven leaped in two short weeks. Weak links in the machine were tossed aside, misfit parts were put in their proper places, and football lore was drilled in day and night. And then the day of the game. A series of sweeping ends runs hitherto used only by the Purple and a bewildered Worcester eleven saw a flitting Cronin slide across their goal-line. In desperation they opened up their defense to meet this whirlwind attack. The end- running ceased, and an open line was drilled to pieces by plunging Maroon backs. Outfought, outplayed, and outgeneralled the Holy Cross of Harvard fame appeared entirely different from this reeling, battered eleven. The famed attack that had broken the might of Harvard and of Bucknell was stopped before it had started by a 150 pound demon, Steve Kobalinski, the reincarnation of the immortal Heaphy. The forward passes that should have run the Boston sec- ondary defence dizzy were harmlessly batted to earth or intercepted at opportune moments, and the team that had come to Boston think- ing only of their own offensive watched with horror-stricken eyes as the Eagle backs went twisting by. The team that could not win without Donahue had won for Donahue 17-6. Thus with the wonderful defeat of the Holy Cross Crusaders by a rejuvenated Maroon and Gold eleven, the football season of 1925 was brought to a fitting close with a 17-6 victory. For the first time in many years one team could lay undisputed claim to the mythical Football Championship of the East. From the bleak hills of Hanover the thunderous Wah Hoo Wahs of the supporters of the big Green eleven proclaimed Dame Fortune ' s choice for the foot- ball throne. But great as has been Dartmouth ' s share of glory for her splendid undefeated season, the Book of Football for the season just closed would indeed be incomplete without the glorious page devoted to Boston College ' s magnificent triumphal march to victory over his traditional Purple rival. Holy Cross, FRANK COLBERT Frankic entered Boston with a brilliant rec- ord from Dean Academy and Dedham High School. The Adonis of the football squad was a very clever quarterback and had that ability to get the most out of the men playing under him. Only the brilliance of Captain elect McKenny kept Frank from playing regularly. He was also a very capable drop- kicker getting them from all angles with plenty of power behind them. WILLIAM CRFAN Bill was good-looking but he could play foot- ball just the same. He was light, but he was fast and he had perseverance and real ability, as shown by his blossoming forth in his final year as one of the first string quarterbacks. He possessed an uncanny knack of throwing for- ward passes and his choice of plays brought many points to Boston. WILLIAM CRONIN Other schools may boast of their Hinckeys or Mahans or the particular star of the school, but the editor of this department will always believe that the exhibition that Bill Cronin gave the fortunate ones who journeyed to Syracuse can never be equalled. He was superb; his defensive work in that memorable first half was nothing short of marvellous. He was game, staying in there long after he was utterly exhausted, playing on sheer grit alone. Remember also how Bill intercepted that Holy Cross forward pass, reversed his field through the entire Holy Cross team for a touchdown. A real football player was--Bill. CAPTAIN JACK DONAHUE Captain Jack was the victim of fate in what should have been his greatest year in football. After playing a wonderful game for three years in which he was only forced to call time out once for injury, Buster had to watch al- most the entire season from the sidelines. But during the three years that he played, he played a superb game and there were few who surpassed him on the offence or defense in the entire country. He was always down the field with his ends and it was with the keenest regret to his classmates that he was forced out of the game he loved and played so well. EDWARD HARRISON There is an almost universal contention that once they get knocked out of football they never come back for more. But exceptions to rules are inevitable and such is Eddie Harrison. The slender Brooklyn wing man was a perfect mate for O ' Connell until he was unfortunately retired from the game with a severely strained back. The doctors firmly put the ban on foot- ball. It is history now how he staged a won- derful comeback and all marvelled at his grit. He is a noble warrior, and he has fought his battles well. JAMES HICKEY The Eates are all against me, I fear my end is near, so the saying goes. Jim granted the first part, but distinguished the latter. When Jim enrolled under the Towers the numerous wing-men were enough to set the joys of any coach at great heights. Sheer grit and cour- age coupled with a spirit of aggressiveness that overcame all obstacles finally landed him in the ranks of the football elite — the wearers of the B. His end did come, but it was a left end and the Eates were fooled for once. ARTHUR JOHNSON Since there are only one or two individuals in the class who will recognize the gentleman under his real name, henceforth we shall call him as he was called during the four happy years he spent at the Heights. Bowler was one of the lightest backs playing football in the college ranks and it was a great handicap to overcome. He played during his Freshman year on Hiker Joy ' s All American, but in Sophomore he joined the Varsity and played at halfback for two years, backing up the line in great style. An automobile injury, aggrava- ted by playing hockey, forced him out of ath- letics entirely during his Senior year. STEPHEN KOBALINSKI The fictitious heroes of the gridiron whose efforts invariably placed them in the halls of immortal fame, were actualized when Steve played his first and last game for Boston Col- lege. Four years of yearning for combat, four years of pent up ability were fully manifest in his memorable battle against Holy Cross. A heart of gold that couldn ' t say die, an iron will that wouldn ' t give way, a mere stripling in build, and every inch a man with indom- itable courage — that was Steve. ARTHUR McMANUS Art was hailed by all the sporting writers of the East as the fastest guard playing the game. By many he was considered as All American calibre. He had what is known in sporting circles as an educated toe: his record of never missing a goal after touchdown is a mark for all future Boston men to shoot at, but which we fear will not be equalled for many moons to come. Art always had a smile but along with the smile went a charge as fierce as even the Major could wish for and which meant destruction for the opposition. OWEN MURPHY Owen is one of the very select group of Bos ton College men who have the honor of win- ning fou-r letters. Owen has starred consist- ently in baseball, track, basketball and foot- ball and joins the ranks of Urban and Corri- gan. In football Owen was a dependable pun- ter and ball carrier. An ill timed injury to his ankle, robbed Owen of his chance to star in his Junior year. But in his Senior year he came back and turned in many brilliant perform- ances. GRATTAN O ' CONNELL Ever since he entered the gates of Boston Col- lege, Okie has taken care of the Eagles right wing with very few opponents being able to circle those powerful arms of his. As an end there are few who can equal the iron man in recovering fumbles and few who can boast of his record of never having taken time out in four years of college football. Football is a he-man ' s game, no matter in what light you view it, and Okie is just the he-man that loves to play it. ALBERT O ' NEAL It took Al three long tough years of drud- gery to convince the Major that he could play football. Al was light, and heavy ends were the cry; but he had the spirit and as each game rolled by and still no chance came his way he never quit but stayed in there taking the knocks, missing all the glory, just praying for the break. At last that break came in the Syracuse game and Al came through, block- ing three punts in a row and playing a mar- velous game. After that he did not have to wait for the breaks, he had shown the Major , and that is enough for any man who has . played football under him. aseball IT has been my happy lot for years to be in intimate touch with the college youth. Although this association has kept me youthful, there are elements with which I have been impressed during these years other than the mere contagion of youthful spirits, — finer ele- ments which while not unique are yet almost ever present conditions of college life. That these elements are to be found in the present graduating class of Boston College I know is beyond the realm of doubt of any individual who has come in contact with this body of men. As a baseball coach at the Heights for the past two seasons, I have been enabled to meet many of the students both on and off the athletic field. A great number of these men have been members of the present graduating class of Boston College and they are leaving nothing but pleasant memories. I know that I have not forgotten, nor am I likely to forget. It is therefore with sincerest gratitude that I wish all the success that is due to these physically strong, mentally alert, and carefully tutored exponents of scholastic training. I wish to impart a fond adios and a hearty wish for the suc- cess that will surely be theirs, first to the graduating class, individ- ually and as a group, and secondly, to those men with whom it was my particular pleasure to come in closer contact on the field of play. Jolui S. Doolcx BASEBALL The four years during which we were at the Kf ' m. 1 Heights were four glorious years for Boston 0 College on the diamond. She and her friend- ly rival, Holy Cross have stood pre-eminent in the baseball world, Holy Cross, unbeaten, and Boston bowing only to her after glorious battles. If we bear you back in memory to our Fresh- man year, you no doubt recall Bill Cronin, Andy Carroll, Frank Gibbons, Fritz Costi- gan, Paul Myron, and a host of others striv- ing and vieing with older and more experi- enced players for the privileges of represent- ing the Maroon and Gold. It was not until we were Chemistry-stricken Sophomores, that we appeared on the baseball horizon. The mound work of silent Andy Carroll, and versatile Ed Mullowney, supported by the field- ing of Bill Cronin, gave 1926 her representation that year. But two colleges in the entire country were unbeaten, Holy Cross and Boston College. The record for attendance at college ball games was sur- passed at that heart-breaking struggle in Worcester on Memorial Day. A pitcher ' s battle ensued between Frank McCrehan and Ownie Carroll before 32,000 people. Remember the murderers ' row of Cronin, Darlmg. Whelan, Wilson, Foley, and Philipps. The Boston game drew nearly forty thousand people. That fact is interesting enough, but it is even more interesting to know that the game was a Boston College victory by a score of four to one. The third game was played in Worcester with the Fitton field jinx right on the job. Boston Colle ge lost after a hard fought contest. Then came the season of 1925 and with it the appointment of a new coach in the person of Jack Slattery. He had such players as Captain Whelan, Bill Cronin, Owen Murphy, Andy Carroll, Ed Mullowney, McCrehan, Foley, Costigan and O ' Neal to work with in the building up of a strong ball club. The new coach injected much enthusiasm into the squad with a result that two Freshmen, McMenimen and Moncewicz came to the front as mainstays at the catching and shortstop positions respectively. Fritz Costigan who had been fighting for a position for twc years finally reached a var- sity berth in the outfield by his extraordinary work at the bat. The team went through a very successful season pointing always to the objective series with Holy Cross. After long experimenting Coach Slattery finally put on the field a team which gave the champion Holy Cross outfield a real battle in the two games of the spring. McCrehan twirled both games and his performances were excep- tionally good. Both contests developed into pitchers ' battles be- tween the slow ball artist McCrehan. and the invincible Carroll. The Purple boxman was the victor, however, in both duels. The feature of the series was Bill Cronin ' s home run into the Blackstone River in the second inning of the game at Fitton Field, which blow Owen Carroll will never forget, nor will the thousands of Boston College and Holy Cross fans who were present. Then it was time to extend our congratulations to Bill Cronin on his election to the captaincy of the 1926 team and to Johnny Dooley who was chos- en as manager of the team in our Senior year. This concludes, though only in summary, the baseball history during our life on the Heights. We cannot count the many after- noons we spent on Alumni Field, delighting in the performances of the Maroon and Gold ballplayers. How we marveled at the sight of big Ed MuUowney tossing the white sphere to the ever chattering Al O ' Neal. Our eyes were never quick enough to follow one of Bill Cronin ' s lightning throws from third to first. Andy Carroll ' s antics with the ball were always a treat after a day in the classrooms. Then there were the lusty clouts of Fritz Costigan, whose bat could place the horsehide from home plate almost to the high-jump pit. The speed of Owen Murphy in left field was accountable for that gleam of admiration during many a Boston College game of our Junior and Senior years. Howard Mandeville, after three years of substitute work, was finally given his. chance on first base and his work was of the first order. Clayton Haley came to the Senior year a full fledged regular. Clayt played great baseball on third base for Boston College. That, then, is the history of baseball, made in part by members of this class of 1926, and those of us who were not able to play base- ball for old B. C. were always on hand to cheer the team on its base- ball journey over that road of victory. ANDREW CARROLL Carroll versus Carroll, synonymous for Bos- ton College versus Holy Cross. For four years Silent Andy Carroll ' s trusty right arm has been hurling victories for our college on the hill. Always a dependable twirler, Andy will be missed when he graduates. FRITZ COSTIGAN When Fritz came to bat there was always a strange feeling in the air. It seemed as if some thing were to. happen. And strange to say. things did happen. Fritz was constantly the propeller of base hits to the distant regions. His .300 average bears out this statement. The way Fritz covered the left field area was equally as brilliant as his ability with the stick. CAPTAIN WILLIAM CRONIN There is at least one home run that the Class of 1926 will never forget and that was delivered by winsome Will against Ownic Carroll in the second inning of the Memorial Day game at Worcester. His battle cry of Get ' em out o ' tha ' boy and his heavy hittings were invalu- able to the marvellous teams of ' 23, ' 24 and ' 25. CLAYTON HALEY After playing the hot corner under Dan Leahy of North Cambridge fame, Clayt blossomed out in his final year at the Heights as a worthy successor to the wonderful third sackers who have gone before him. Built close to the ground he has no difficulty in picking up the fast grounders that come his way, while his constant chatter keeps the entire infield on its toes every minute. OWEN MURPHY Owen can even show Duffy Lewis how to play the cliff at Eenway Park, but that ' s not all. His batting average was above .400 for two years, while his fielding was incomparable. EDWARD MULLOWNEY They say you can ' t keep a good man down and our versatile President proved this away back in his Sophomore year when he turned back the best ball team the Blue and Gray of Georgetown ever sent out on the field. Ed has been defeating them all since then and this year ranks as the leading pitcher in college baseball. ALBERT O ' NEAL Al ' s chatter behind the plate would win any ball game, while his sense of humor was enough Co keep the ball in laughs for four years. APRIL Sat. 3 — Villanova at Villanova, Pa.

Yet we would not exchange the memories, the associations, the friendships for release from the pang of parting. Parting begets reminiscences. And sweet are the reminiscences of those who have been ever loyal. No class was ever more loyal than has been Boston College nineteen hundred twenty-six — so believes he who coaches track and field athletics at Boston College. Numbered among the graduating class are many track athletes. Of these, four stand out as being, in their specialties, the best that ever represented Boston College — in truth they are ex- celled by none in any college. Their deeds have been chronicled throughout the country, bringing renown to their college. Possessing at debarkation soundness of mind and body gained by loyalty to their Alma Mater, may this reservoir of stability re- main ever strong, to be drawn upon, as needs be, during life ' s buffet- ing of soul and body. ' N. TRACK To adequately chronicle the glorious achieve- ments of the Maroon and Gold Mercuries de- mands the pen of a painter of almost idealistic phantasies. The deeds of the sons of the wing footed god have been such in the past four years that they far surpass in reality what might be the concoction of the imagination of a builder of air castles. The successes of the teams read like a page taken from a book re- cording the almost unbelievable pursuits of a track team to dizzy heights of glory. A me- teoric rise from a few notable campaigners to a well moulded team that has been the subject of much deserved praise is the evolution which the track team has gone through since the arrival of the class of 1926. No less glorious than the brilliancy of its teams in the past four years have been the feats of the ' 26 members who have contributed a great share in the building of a powerful prestige for Boston Col- lege track activities. With the advent of the class of ' 26 the proteges of Coach Ryder started upon their steady march to a foremost place in the track world. The names of Cavanaugh, Flahive, Dick and Owen Mur- phy, McManus, Killilea. Riha, Forrest, and Matthews, all of ' 26, have been associated to a great extent with the Maroon and Gold success. Up until the fall of 1922 the track team had been in the pro- cess of building. For three years under Coach Ryder great strides had been made in intercollegiate fields. Individual stars had been breaking into the limelight now and then, flashes of team successes had been evidenced on a few occasions. The seeds planted by the Coach were beginning to bear fruit. But with the coming of the class of ' 26, the Maroon and Gold of Boston began to emerge from behind the misty clouds of obscurity, destined before we left the shade of its Gothic towers to burst forth in all its brilliancy. The successes of the stars was a source of encouragement to many men to strive for a position on the team. The class of 1926 was well rep- resented when the men responded to the call. A clean sweep in the fall interclass meet paved the way for a successful quartet of cinder and board seasons. Never have the men of ' 26 relinquished their crown as interclass champions. For four years we have been victorious by virtue of our all around strength in all of the fall and spring interclass competitions. During the years teeming with banner achievements the wear- ers of the colors of Boston College have proven themselves glorious- ly triumphant in the Eastern IntercoUegiates, the Penn. Relay Car- nivals, and the world renowned IntercoUegiates have had the win- ning colors of the Maroon and Gold raised to the peak in token of their victories more than once. Records of long years ' standing, stagnating into almost enduring marks, have felt the shattering assault of the Eagle fliers. Foremost in the minds of track followers is that memorable feat that the Maroon and Gold accomplished when its two mile relay team whirled through a field of international teams to a new world ' s record. Given only an outside chance to place, unknown and unheralded, the Eagle quartet startled the country with its prow- ess. Such was the beginning of the rise of the Boston College track team to the supremacy that it now knows. Our own Captain Tom Cavanaugh was the lead-off man for that marvelous four. That same year, 1923. the medley relay representing Boston College conquered every team against which it competed. Here again Cavanaugh was instrumental in bringing us glory. Although the Eagle snatched many victories in the relays it did not confine itself to these events. In ' 23 the team completely out- classed the field in the Eastern IntercoUegiates at Springfield. On top of this a final surge landed the Eagle as the high scorer in the New Englands. Fresh from these two victories the Eagle squad de- cisively out pointed our Purple rivals in the annual dual meet. The following year found the Maroon and Gold continuing on their wave of success. The winter track season saw the Eagle speedsters turning in creditable performances. The track enthusi- asts of Brooklyn. Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York, and Boston have been drawn gradually to realize the strength, spirit, and sport- manship of Boston College runners and their work well merits the praise bestowed on them. Again an Eagle relay team sped to the fore when they captured the four mile relay championship from Harvard at the Penn relays. At Baltimore the distance medley team won their first leg on the trophy emblematic of the country ' s best. iff In reviewing the past four seasons the performance of members of the class of ' 26 have stood our prominently. The efforts of Cap- tain Tom. Cavanaugh in the relays for the last three years have been I ' ll! great factors in its successes. His record of 4:17:4-5 will stand for a sl long time. Arthur McManus in the weight events has been a worthy ' IS; performer: as a point winner in the intercollegiates he showed his 1 1 best form. Dick Murphy ' s phenomenal hurdling has been the sensa- i i tion of the past season. Seven times he equalled the world ' s record ' f in the 45 yard hurdles. Francis Riha, New England Intercollegiate ' hurdle champion over the 220 yard distance, did not confine his activity to timber topping. His work as a relay runner was very commendable. Art Forrest in the dash events proved conclusively his ability in the various meets. Eddie Hawley was another dash- man who came into prominence in his senior year. Larry Kililea ' s work in the pole vault won him varsity letters for three years. Owen Murphy ' s adeptness in the weight events earned him his varsity B . Molyneaux Matthews ' broad-jumping placed him in the select var- sity group. James Flahive, emulator of the famous Fluff , has upheld the high jumping prestige of the Flahive family. And yet, great as is the individual prowess of the athletes them- selves, the greatest and fullest measure of glory must redound not to them, but to the great, genial, lovable coach that made possible their achievements. Not alone as a coach will he be ever remembered, but rather as a moulder of character, a moulder of men, a creator of ideals, in a word, the most bel oved individual on the Heights, the one and only, incomparable. Jack Ryder. This year ' s work has been full of crowning achievements to top off three years of glorious competition. Practically every meet of importance has seen the Eagle runners manifesting brilliant form, Relay successes in the two-mile, four mile and medley distances were notable: individual performers in the class of ' 26 were scorers in many meets. Frank Hussey ' s work in equalling two world ' s indoor records was especially noteworthy. Again at Baltimore the distance medley team defeated the country ' s best and garnered the second leg on the medley trophy. TOM CAVANAUGH The class of 1926 is indeed fortunate to num- ber Tom as one of its members, for he is not only Captain of track, but holds the record for the fastest mile ever run on Alumni Field, 4 minutes, 17 seconds. This classmate of ours holds the palm in his own State as well, for he is the present Connecticut State Champion in the quarter mile, half mile and in his favorite distance, the mile. Tom has also brought in- ternational fame to our class and to Boston as a member of the world ' s record breaking quartet representing Boston College at the Penn. Relay Carnival in the two mile. JAMES FLAHIVE Fluff has never been the equal of his older bro- ther going over the stationary bar. but for the past four years his high-jumping has been of very high caliber. His easy going, pleasant disposition has made him popular with all that had the good fortune to know him. ARTHUR FORREST All the way from Lawrence comes the dash champ of ' 26. For four years Arthur has been cleaning up in the short runs. Speed, — why in Freshman he won his letter by winning the Eastern Intercollegiate century held in Spring- field. He continued his winning streak and became well known in sprinting circles. Of- fers to compete in all the open meets poured in and it was with regret that the Lawrence youth had to decline, for he could not com- pete everywhere. EDWARD HAWLEY It took Jack Ryder three years of persuasion to overcome Eci ' s natural modesty. Not un- til Senior .year did Ed perform on the boards, but in that short space of time he showed re- sults enough to win his letter. LAWRENCE KILLILEA Larry holds the enviable record of being the first athlete wearing the Maroon and Gold to score in his specialty, the pole vault, in Inter- collegiate competition. He also holds the rec- ord in the event for Alumni Field and he has won first place in the Holy Cross dual meet for three years in a row. Soaring high over the bar in a practice session one afternoon in his Sophomore year the pole broke under him at the height of 12 feet and a half and Larry was picked up with a few broken ribs; enough to put many men out of competition for the rest of their days, but Larry is coming back strong. MOLYNEAUX MATTHEWS Molly, as he is frequently called, first came out for track to compete in the interclass meet and he did so well that Coach Ryder added him to the fold of spiked shoe artists. Besides his broad jumping proclivities Molly also runs the century in fast time. He won his Varsity B in the Holy Cross dual meet by his broad jumping. 5 , w ,., ARTHUR McMANUS Art was not content with being hailed as the fastest guard in Eastern Intercollegiate foot- ball, so away back in Freshman he took him- self and his famous smile to Jack Ryder. By hard work and the application of those fund- amental laws of Physics, Ohm ' s law of resist- ance and the laws of gravitation, the big boy discovered a method of throwing the 16 lb. hammer that has since testified to his versatil- ity and perseverance. He is the New England champion and he placed in the famous I. C. A. A. A. A. meet at Philadelphia. JOHN P. MURPHY In Freshman or Sophomore only a privileged few knew our genial, high-stepping Vice-Pres- ident, but now he is known to all. Dick is one of the leading timber-toppers in the coun- try, having seven times equalled the world ' s record in the high hurdles. In 1925 he ran in the I. C. A. A. A. A. cha mpionships in Phila- delphia, as well as in the National champion- ships in California, placing second and fourth. He is also the New England champion in the 1 20 yard high hurdles and in the 45 yard hur- dles, holding the present New England records in both events. OWEN MURPHY The only four letter man in the College earned his B in track by his versatility in the field events. He was as clever putting the shot, throwing the javelin or the discus as he was tearing down the gridiron or patrolling the outfield for Coach Slattery. Owen deserves the title of the greatest athlete of the class of ' 26. GERALD O ' CONNOR Jerry came out to college with a reputation as a swimmer from Boston College High School. With no swimming at the College, Jerry turned his attention to track and earned his letter in Freshman by placing third in the Eastern IntercoUegiates at Springfield. FRANCIS RIHA The tall sorrell top is a very fast man over the 220 yard low hurdles, as his second place in the New England championships of 1925 will testify. In his last year at the Heights he has not only run the hurdles, but he has also been a member of ' the one mile relay team, usually running from the anchor position. Hocl ey frcd Rncqnc HOCKEY DURING the past four years at the Heights, the increasing pop ularity and interest shown in the game of hockey has placed B. C. in an enviable position and has brought us into the sport limelight with dazzling brilliance. The Canadian National game has been developed to a high degree by our teams so that at the pres- ent time we are the leading exponent of the winter sport this side of the border. Many prominent hockey authorities and the multi- tude of enthusiasts recognize the excellent caliber of our teams and have been lavish in their praise. The fact that we have defeated the leading teams of the Dominion, where this sport is played for six months of a year, has added to the high regard in which we are held throughout the sporting world. In our first year at the Heights, the team remained intact from the preceding year and consequently it was extremely difficult for men like Groden and Mullowney to break into this combination. They played the role of substitutes and the experience and confidence gained was invaluable. Al O ' Neal and Bowler Johnson were also on the squad and they were very handy relief men. With the aid of these four Freshmen, Boston College annexed the title of Intercol- legiate Champions. Not a single game was lost to college teams and the three defeats sustained were at the hands of such teams as the Aura Lees, Hamilton Tigers and Duluth Hockey Club. McGill and Queens Colleges, two of the best in Canada, were forced to acknowledge the superiority of B. C, as well as B. U., Tech, West Point, and all the club teams in Boston. The following year saw Charlie Foote replacing Fred Rocque, as coach while the outer defense was lost along with Leo Hughes. Big Ed Mullowney and Red Mahoney showed that they could take care of the points in a capable manner, and although they showed signs of nervousness at the start they soon got over this and their development and improvement was almost sensational. Henry Groden filled in at right wing, and though at a disadvantage at this position, he played a flashy game and was one of the shining lights of the team. Bowler Johnson again rendered fine service, play- ing both the forward line and defense. The season started rather disastrously, but in a few weeks the team came fast, and by the defeat of the Abegweits, champions of the Provinces, they exhibited their true power. Although not successful in their quest for the mys- terious Windsor Cup, the Eagles closed with a rush by their decisive victories over McGill and Queens. The success which B. C. now enjoyed in this winter sport was overshadowed by their inability to secure games with American Colleges. The Eagles were placed in a difficult situation, but de- spite this handicap, the season of 1925 had a promising outlook. In order to arrange a schedule, the best teams among Canadian Col- leges were secured, and these teams were anxious to atone in some measure for the defeats suffered in the past at the hands of the Eagles. Toronto, McGill, Queens, Loyola and Montreal were our oppo- nents, and it was during this year that a Boston College team first competed outside the limits of the United States, when Loyola and Montreal were defeated in that city. The team was the same as the year before, but injuries sustained in football by Al O ' Neal and Bowler Johnson deprived the hockey team of two of their best substitutes. We were not quite as successful against the Canadian colleges as before, and an early season defeat by B. U. prevented us from being considered the best team among American colleges. Henry Groden was unanimously elected captain of the sextet for 1926 and Fred Rocque, who had been in the West for two years, returned again as coach. Three of the 1925 men were graduated, but Ed Mullowney, Red Mahoney, Henry Groden and Willie Mahoney remained to form the nucleus of another fine team which would maintaim the high degree of excellence of the past hockey teams of Boston College. r SUB, T Gcoryc L. O ' Brie CAPTAIN HENRY GRODEN The blonde terror needs no introduction to the followers of the Maroon and Gold hockey teams. For the past four years Henry has poke-checked and body-checked every man he has been pitted against. He is equally profi- cient at defense or on the forward line and even if he is a little fellow he sure deserves his cognomen, The Blonde Terror. ARTHUR JOHNSON Bowler ' s hockey career was very short. Play- ing for only two seasons he nevertheless man- aged to play every position on the club except goal. But John Fitz — non-stop John — was there so he never had the opportunity of try- ing that. FRANK X. MAHONEY Frank has been one of the bulwarks of B. C. ' s defense in front of the cage. Many a goal he has save ' d by his savage checking and many a goal was packed on the end of his long shots down the Arena ice. WILLIAM MAHONEY For four years little Will has been going down to the Arena practicing. A clever aggressive player, his handicap of stature robbed him of a chance to play more. To his perseverance and spirit is due the letter he earned and his happy disposition made him unanimous choice for Captain of the Second Team. EDWARD MULLOWNEY You have to be clever to play hockey and you have to be very clever to be good at it, and the sport writers say that Ed is the only college man playing hockey in Boston who could make the grade in the Professional ranks. That long elusive dribble of Ed ' s made him a very dangerous carrier and he was never known to sidestep any man coming down the ice. TENNIS THE tennis team has slowly, yet none the less surely been advanc- ing to a position of athletic prominence during the past few years. Starting less than ten years ago, with but a handful of enthu- siasts, it has grown to such proportions that over fifty candidates participated in the Annual tournament held last Fall. During the years of its infancy Tennis was confined strictly to intermural matches, but soon however its popularity had reached such propor- tions that with the entrance of the class of 1926, intercollegiate com • petition was well under way. Besides Captain Lyons, around whom the team will be built, Bill Cunningham, Ed Flynn, Frank Eagan and John Dooley appear as most formidable. Much of the credit for the advancement this sport has enjoyed during the past few years, is due to Ray McLaughlan, who, both as Assistant Manager and Manager, has worked unflinchingly for its further development. CHEER LEADERS ' T ' WO forms, whirling madly, gyrating and gesticulating, now slow, now fast, while the cheers of the thousands behind them keep the rhythm of their antics — this era of specialization extends even to the cheer-leaders of colleges throughout the country. In James Hickey, Manager Jim, and Eddie Dolan, we were fortunate in having two men who by nature were born to lead the long YEAH — followed by the sharp, staccato, Bos-ton. We thank them for their untiring work in behalf of the teams and wish them both the greatest of success as cheery leaders in life ' s game.

MURRAY JOHN A. CROWLEY HENRY J. O ' CONNELL RAYMOND E. McLAUGHLIN THE STYLUS OUR monthly literary magazine has in this, its forty-third year of .existence, mirrored often the literary talents of the members of ' 26 expressed in both prose and verse. By the close contact it con- tinues to hold with the Alumni, the Stylus has also served to fittingly usher into the ranks of the graduates those members of Senior who are on its staff. With the coming of the Class of ' 26 into student management of extra-curricular activities, the Stylus produced for its readers a volume which was as pleasing and remarkable as it was a decided change in appearance. The cover, slightly changed for the better from last year, encased a new offering of paper, stock and type, which immediately raised the tone and bearing of the publication. To Henry G. Lawler, the editor-in-chief, goes the credit for this im- provement, as well as for the incorporation of his many fine ideas into the magazine. His editorial work which included careful selec- tion and attractive arrangement of material, has produced issues of excellent quality. T. Everett McPeake, whose valuable service on the editorial board gave him prominence in literary circles, also con- tributed largely to the success of the year. William A. Consodine. with his offerings of verse, Luke P. McCarthy, with his historical essays, and Thomas P. Shea, equally proficient in prose and verse, were among the frequent contributors. Walter B. T. McCracken, too. provided an interesting feature in several issues with his travel stories written as a result of his personal experiences. In considering the record made by the paper, it is well to remem- ber those who made up the business staff. In this department John T. Sullivan, as Business Manager, was the directing force. George Robertie. the Advertising Manager, achieved great success too, under conditions sometimes not too favorable. Considered from all angles the Stylus had a glorious year and it is our wish that other years may be as fruitful for it. THE HEIGHTS TT was the enviable reputation of the gang who put out our col- lege weekly this year, that they got everything they started out for, and when they became determined to put The Heights among the leading college weeklies, no effort was spared in making it the best that the school has ever seen. William A. Consodine, the Editor- in-chief, was supported by a splendid managing board, and from the time his regime began, compliments on the high character of the pub- lication came in from all sides. In the publishing of the newspaper, many loiig hours of hard work were necessary, and every week one might find Maurice Hart, the managing editor, Al Fallon, the news editor, and Henry Barry, the advertising manager, working at the printers far into the night to secure the best possible recognition for The Heights . The sporting department, with its feature stories and side-line flashes, made such an attractive part of the paper, that many sub- scribers were added to the list just to read the sports. Lawrence Kililea was the head of this department and he was ably assisted by a corps of aspiring undergraduates. Intellectual gems sparkled in the literary columns and in the edi- torials, Cornelius Moynihan was chairman of the editorial board, and, assisted by Messrs. Quinn, Howard and Heffernan, did much to help the fair name of the paper STUDENTS ACTIVITIES COUNCIL T HE Students Activities Council founded in the Spring of 1925 with the election of various members of the classes of 1926 and 1927 to the ranking offices, has now become an institution at Boston College, an institution of good that promises to take its place among the other necessary activities of the students at the Heights. The Council was conceived in the mind of James E. Tobin, ' 25 in the latter part in our Junior year. Through the hard work of W. Arthur Reilly, ' 25 and Edward O. Mullowney in close co-operation with Mr. Tobin, the Council was finally started with the elected executive of each student activity as a member. This membership included the Editors of the Sub Turri, Stylus and Heights, the Presidents of the Debating Societies, Press Club, and Academies. The officers of the Council for the scholastic year that we call our Senior year are: Honorary President. Edward O. Mullowney, President of the Senior Class. President. William A. Consodine, Editor-in-Chief of the Heights. Treasurer. Henry G. Lawler, Editor of the Stylus. Secretary. Francis I. Murphy, President of the Junior Class. An annual election day for all classes was successfully sponsored by the Students Activities Council in the Eall of 1925 and the day will be made an institution in the history of Boston College. The success of the day was due entirely to the diligent work of the Committee in charge of the election. This Committee was composed of T. Everett McPeake, Editor of the Sub Turri, Edward Harrison, President of the Students Athletic Association and Henry G. Lawler, Editor of the Stylus. Many other innovations were inaugurated by the Students Council, innovations that aided in securing general good will among all students at the College and in aiding the members of the Faculty in the activities which they sponsored for the student body. T)ehatmg FULTON DEBATING SOCIETY THE Eulton Debating Society is the pride of the class of ' 26, having reached heights never before attained in its history. It is no exaggeration to say that this year was the greatest in the history of this venerable society. Never before have so many intercollegiate debates been undertaken, never before have so many students par- ticipated in these debates. Intercollegiate Debates were held with M. I. T., Fordham University, Dartmouth, Clark University, Middlebury, University of Arizona, College of the City of New York, Colby, Boston University, and Holy Cross. The Inter- collegiate Debating team consisted of fifteen men. That so many men could successfully debate, gives a good idea of the high calibre of the Society. The lecture teams of the Fulton did yeoman work, giving over fifteen debates before the K. of C. Councils, and Holy Name Societies of Greater Boston. These teams were drawn not only from intercollegiate debaters, but from the ranks of the society as well, a practice which has led to the discovery of not a few first class debaters. The Fulton also inaugurated the first Interscholastic Elocution Contest ever held in Massachusetts. This is to be a regu- lar feature of the Fulton work, and every year, it is hoped, the number of high schools taking part will increase until the contest becomes one of the outstanding scholastic events in New England. These many external works of the Fulton are but a manifestation of the enthusiasm which pervaded the regular meetings throughout the year. There was not a meeting in which the period of free debate was curtailed, in fact several times the period was extended, and in order to satisfy the members open debates were held once a month. These furiously hard fought debates will be among the fondest memories of the present Fulton members. The membership list was the greatest in the history of the society. The quota was soon filled up and for the first time in years the society had a waiting list, which so increased that the membership was raised to one hundred. Even this did not satisfy the demand and The Fulton despite the increase has still a waiting list. The officers of first term were; President, Walter Morris; Vice-President, Richard Vahey; Secretary, James Monks; Treasurer, Harry O ' Sullivan; Censor, Henry Lawler. The officers for the second term were; President, Anthony Driscoll; Vice- President, John Murray; Secretary, James Monks; Treasurer, Harry O ' Sullivan; Censor, Charles Monahan. The class of ' 26 was well represented among the intercollegiate debaters, Walter Morris, Frank Corcoran, Harry O ' Sullivan, James Monks, Walter MacCracken, and Cornelius Moynihan, all doing their share to place Alma Mater in the first rank in intercollegiate debating circles. INTERSCHOLASTIC ORATORICAL CONTEST A popular inovation was accomplished this year under the auspices ' ' of the Fulton. The first annual Interscholastic Oratorical Contest was held at the Heights on Sunday, April the Eighteenth. The plan for holding this novel contest was devised by Martin P. Harney S. J. moderator of debating. Under the generalship of Walter Morris, a committee, consisting of Frank W. McOwen, chair- man: T. Everett McPeake, Joseph Beecher, Raymond G. Castle. William H. Marnell, Dan O ' Leary, arranged the details. Considerable interest was created in interscholastic and peda- gogical circles and the success of the contest itself demonstrates the desirability of the continuance of this as a yearly feature of the Fulton calendar. The winner of the contest was presented with a beautiful silver trophy cup which was suitably inscribed and adorned with the Fulton Seal. Schedule of Fulton Debates Dec. 4 — Massachusetts Institute of Technology Dec. 1 8 — Fordham University Jan. 15 — Dartmouth Feb, 26 — Clark University March 23 — Middlebury April 1 1 — University of Arizona April 1 6— College of the City of N. Y. April 26 — Holy Cross Boston University pending (Musical Clubs THE GLEE CLUB np HE Boston College Glee Club under the direction of Professor Burke completed the most successful season in its history this year. Mr. Anderson S. J. the moderator sent out the call of candi- dates early in October, and the response was encouraging, over fifty men coming to the initial rehearsal. The first meeting brought to light several new men for the first tenor section, and proportioning the club to the number of these men, a well balanced society was formed that throughout the entire season pleased audiences in many towns in this vicinity. The debut of the Club was the annual concert in Somerville, where the boys always meet with a wonder- ful reception. Concerts in Brockton, Weymouth, Braintree, and the annual Jordan Hall presentation made a series that brought the well deserved praise of Boston College friends. This year too is notable for the fact that the B. C. Glee Club became a member of the Inter- collegiate Glee Club Association. A special feature of the season was the quartet composed of the soloists of the club. These men often accompanied the Senior debating teams on their trips, and interspersed the discussions of the boys with quartet and solo selections. This combination of speakers and singers proved very popular with the various audiences and more invitations were received than could be accepted. The officers of the club include Michael A. Corcoran, President, Laurence T. Thornton, Vice-President and Thomas A. Murphy, Secretary. THE BAND T HE Boston College Band, under the able leadership of Laurence • Thornton, had its most successful season last fall and everyone who attended the games will testify that the music, formations, and marching of the group were far superior to the performances of past years. This however is as it should be, for progress and not retro- gression is ever our aim. Perhaps the most marked improvement, and the feature that evoked the most comment on each appearance of the band on Braves Field, was the introduction of modern pieces in place of the old stand- bys. Judging from the favorable impression made, the crowd appreciated the innovation and welcomed it. Interest was first raised in the band at the time of the drive to send the musicians to Syracuse and when it was once seen that the music compared favorably with that of other colleges, hearty support was assured for the band. It was at the height of its success at the two major contests of this year, those with West Virginia and with Holy Cross. At the West Virginia game the boys played the college songs of their opponents, marching around the field and finally stopping before the Mountaineer cheering section. At the Holy Cross game similar tactics were employed, the formation of the letters H, C winning the generous applause of the boys from Mt. St. James. T)ramatics DRAMATICS THE Boston College Dramatic Club has been known far and wide for many years on account of the splendid character of its pro- ductions. Shakespeare seems to be the almost universal choice of the boys, and this year two of his best productions were given. For the Christmas production, Twelfth Night was selected and under the guidance of Rev. William E. Murphy, S. J. the boys set to work. James M. Curley, Jr. was elected President of the Club and Paul M. Rock, the Student Director. Just before the Christ- mas vacation the play was given before a large and enthusiastic audience at Boston College High School Hall and the members of the cast distinguished themselves as always. By the member s of the audience who enjoyed listening to a play little thought is given to the hard work necessary for pro- ducing it, and the amount of effort expended by the boys deserves to have given it some special mention of praise. Practically every night in the week the youthful Thespians took possession of the upper corridors of the Administration Building and there spent hours in memorizing their parts and rehearsing the various scenes. Only by these efforts could the extraordinary finish of the produc- tion be attained. For the annual June production, the Club played As You Like It, the comedy being given on the college grounds. Jlcademies { SUB TUElT ■; ; S ,s S THE ACADEMIES TO Martin P. Harney, S. J. can be attributed the credit for the estabHshment of the Academy of Contemporaneous History. Founded in the winter of 1924-1925 for the purpose of discussing contemporary affairs of world-wide importance, their causes and pos- sible bearing on future events, the Academy claimed such a large number of the undergraduates that it was this year made a full seminar. Lectures are given weekly by men prominent in business, affairs of State, or by men who have the well deserved reputation of be- ing excellent scholars of History. A text book on the Governments of Europe is also studied. The Georgetown School of Foreign Service has recognized the Academy and four full college credits are granted to those who are faithful attendants and who successfully pass an examination which will embody all that is contained in the text book studied. THE GREEK ACADEMY which was founded in the fall of 1925, owes its inception to Joseph M. F. Marique, S. J. In the two years of its existence, several plays have been discussed and translated before audiences composed of students and Faculty in- quisitors. Several series of lectures on the Greek Drama and Greek Literature with regard to their influence on modern literature have been offered. The rebirth of the FRENCH ACADEMY was achieved by Fr. DeMangeleere, S. J. in February, 1925. This group has been very prominent in its activities studying many of the masters of French literature. The Reverend Moderator has given lectures on these masters, and has arranged for public debates in French, to be delivered by members of the Academy. In their perusal of the best French Authors, the men have studied short French plays and some- thing of French drama. The splendid efforts of the Academy resulted in the arrangement of a debate with the French Academy of Holy Cross. This debate was won by the French academy of Boston College. THE SPANISH ACADEMY is another group of students who are banded together for special study. Its purpose is twofold. It intends to establish in the minds of its members, a personal active interest in all Boston College activities and also it aims to provide a means whereby the students may gain an intelligent and fluent knowledge of the Spanish tongue. Like all the other academies, its season has been marked with enthusiasm and busy interest, per- haps the greatest of all having been shown in the debates. The club was presided over by Edward Mullowney and under his direction an enviable example was set for future classes to emulate. -. •:,; Jif - Religion THE STUDENT COUNSELLOR ' T ' HE Student Counsellor is a Father of the Faculty who is ap pointed as adviser of the students. His principal duty is to direct the spiritual activities of the College and the various religious societies and sodalities. He provides opportunities for the students to receive the Sacraments in addition to the times assigned for the general student body. He is in a special sense the friend and adviser of the students not only in matters directly spiritual but also material and temporal, in their studies, in the choice of their life work, and in other inti- mate and personal matters as each one may wish. His hours are arranged to afford ample opportunity of conferring with him, and his office is one of valuable assistance in the difficulties of college life. SODALITY SURELY our Blessed Mother has exercised special viligance over her Sodality during this past year. Never in the history of the Sodality at Boston College has such a high degree of success crowned the efforts of the Moderator of this important extra-curricular activity. The causes of this rebirth of interest can be attributed to three factors. First, the welding together of the Seniors and Juniors into a single unit; secondly the spontaneous and zealous interest which has urged our Moderator to spare no time nor effort in the furtherance of the best interests of this important function in college life: thirdly the untiring heart and mind of our Student Counsellor, Fr. Sullivan, who is ever expending his time and energy in order that his boys may be champions of virtue. The meetings were held every Wednesday in the chapel. At no one meeting was the seating capacity large enough to accommodate the large number of sodalists. The Sodality has the distinction of being the first at Boston College to enter the field of mission work. Every Saturday night found a Sodality member lecturing to the North End Catholic Boys ' Club on some religious subject. THE LEAGUE OF THE SACRED HEART N the first Friday of every month a splendid example of Catho- lie training is manifested by the entire student body, when as members of the League of the Sacred Heart they meet to renew their devotion to their Creator. The students are banded together in groups of ten, and the Promoter of each band distributes the leaflets of the League telling of the intention for which the Holy Father wants all members to pray. At the end of each season with solemn festivities the new Promoters are selected and given the diploma and Promoter ' s cross. The whole organization is presided over by a Faculty Director and under his supervision the monthly exercises are held. Each month on the day before first Friday every Catholic stu dent goes to confession and the next morning receives Holy Com- munion, renewing his pledge of submission and love to Our Lord. An entire period is given over to the First Friday devotions and a general assembly is called. Here the monthly intention of the League is explained, the Morning Offering is recited, and the exer- cises are brought to a close with Benediction. For many years. Rev. Father McClusky. S, J., as the Director of the League at Boston College, endeared himself to the student body. Since his trans- fer to Fordham. Fr. O ' Brien is continuing the work. T hilomatheia Club REV. DANIEL J. LYNCH, S. J. Spiritual Director of Philomatheia UB TUREI $ PHILOMATHEIA CLUB ' THE Philomatheia Club is formed of over fifteen hundred women- mothers, sisters, and friends of Boston College students, who are banded together for the purpose of advancing the interests of Bos- ton College. The regular meeting of this association is held on the second Friday of each month, the members gathering in the Assembly hall at the College, The program always includes a speaker of note, often a member of the College faculty. Besides this monthly meeting, bridge parties and entertain- ments of various kinds are held throughout the year. One of the most colorful of these events is the Winter Carnival, which takes place in the early part of each February. Following an afternoon of sports on the fields about the College, dancing, and a whist party are held in the Assembly Hall and corridors of the Recitation Build- ing. In addition to these social activities held by the Philomatheians, they also conduct the annual Philomatheia Ball. This affair is one of the foremost events of the Catholic Social Year, and takes place each season in the main ballroom of the Copley Plaza Hotel. Under the presidency of Mrs. Vincent P. Roberts, the Club has advanced marvelously in numbers and in social prestige. Due credit must also be given to the other officers of the present regime which include Mrs. Martha Moore Avery, Honorary President; Mrs. Daniel J. Holland, First Vice-President: Mrs. Charles T. O ' Malley, Second Vice-President; and Mrs. Charles F. Stack, Record- ing Secretary. fSUB TURRI ' he Flight of the (Sagle FOUR YEARS ON THE HEIGHTS OR THAT PLEASING REFRAIN DEMEMBER (with apologies to the writer of the song) the pleasant leave-taking, and the new suit that made the neighbors gasp, and say, I wonder if he is working for Kuppenheimer. and the armful of books ( those days are gone forever ) that we carried on that memorable day four years ago last September as we started for the seat of learning and culture. Remember Lake St.. and the first walk up the hill with the cheerfulness that only a Freshman can have as he enters upon the endurance contest, (survival of the fittest). The first sight of the Towers on the Heights, and the outward feeling of immense importance due. no doubt, to the fact that we had the aforementioned suit and a few dollars in our pocket that were our own, the first real day of college: and the inward sen- sation of a weak heart because we had heard about or had read about, the words of that famous French general at the Battle of the Marne, and applied it to our teachers as against us, and then the loftiness, peacefulness of St, Mary ' s Hall, standing like a druid of old, overlooking, and seemingly guarding the calm waters of the Reservoir. Remember that walk up College Road when the sun- kissed and multi-colored flower beds were bathing in all their splen- dor in the morning sun: and Recitation Hall, and the clock on the Tower with its melodious chimes ringing out the quarter-hours. The doubtful steps with which we approached the entrance, then the courageous thought of ' seeing it through, ' Finally our first glimpse of the Assembly Hall, the assignment to our classes, the first meeting of our class-mates, the molding together of the bond of friendship that only the cloudy mist, which hangs over all men, can sever. What a pleasant and soothing refrain! But. alas, time passed too quickly, and soon we were at the first corner of our long run. The stately pine, bearded with moss, that overlooks Alumni Field, softly murmurs. Work hard, work hard. With wistful eye we gaze upon the smoke-filled metropolis in the distance and wonder, if we shall be some-day one of the chain in the work-a-day world: and while we are enjoying our revery. 339 the thought comes back to our mind, ' College life is not such an easy life after all. ' It ' s a long, long trail awinding into the land of our dreams, as the song goes, but the Land of Dreams spurs us on to attain the happiness that it offers. Let ' s go, then, is the cry that goes up, and the traces become taut and we buckle down for the long pull. But we are not going to write about all the thoughts that race madly through our wakening mind, so we will just mention a few of the incidents that happened during our four pleasant years. Anyway, why mention everything? For then we would not en- joy our revery, or have any pleasure in bringing back to our minds happy memories of college days. What about the 8:45 o ' clock car at Park Street that was never on time? The happy thought of having three points deducted for being late. Father Fitzpatrick ' s whistle (reminding one of Boston ' s finest) and the admonitions of the Dean, that college is not a joke, and also the fact that he is not scolding, but merely advising. The enjoyable ( ? ) hours we spent delving into Horace and Juvenal, Sophocles and Plato, Demosthenes and Cicero — What a relief when we reached Junior! The days of carrying Latin and Greek books had passed. The thrill of ' cutting ' our first class, and the ease with which we passed all our ' chem ' exams. The famous sig- nature A. L. E. on the Chem. Lab. Papers. The rivalry between ' 26 and ' 27, and how ' Pat ' Murphy, captain and coach of the Senior team, held practice in the lunch-room, and restricted the players to the eating of cream puffs. The ease with which the Seniors could have subdued the Juniors ( the game was cancelled be- cause two of the Juniors insisted upon wearing glasses and the Seniors became ' scairt o ' tea shells ' ). Remember: How warm the Heights is in the Winter! No chilly blasts sweep over the hill (just icy ones). The breaking of the ground for the New Library, and its construction. The Science Building added to the group. The distinction of being the first class to study in the new building (No smoking allowed. Not even in the tunnel ) . That old quartet that simply ruined any melody and almost got ruined itself. Then Spring! Ah, Beautiful spring, and the fact that the beautiful flowers bloom in the Springtime have nothing to do with the case. Remember the Syracuse trip? What a question. Do we remember the Maine? What about those Nights Before at the City Club with Cav ' at his best: and the thrills, the excitement, and the color attached to the B. C.-H. C. game. Poor Holy Cross (the dirge with enthusiam). The quartet that made Holy Cross do a little worrying ( McManus. Cronin, Harrison, and O ' Connell — ' 26 boys one and all ) . Cheer up. Holy Cross, these men receive their degrees this June. Remember: the day Frank McCrehan beat ' Ownie ' Carroll, and the great pitching duels between the two! Those great Holy Cross teams and the fighting Boston teams. (What a game!) The hockey team: well, enough said, they speak for themselves. The record-breaking relay teams, and the educated feet of Jim McGilvary, the sweet tenor voice of Dan Healy, The first radio debate, and the Championship team of the Fulton Debating Society. And then, our social life, our first venture into society and the life of college activities: the Treshman Hop ' at the Copley Plaza: then the Sophomore Soire ' e at the Hampton Court Hotel. Junior Week, with the Smoker, Show, finally culminating in the Prom, the orchestra, and the ball-room of the Somerset as the stage of our activities. The receptions tendered the teams after the games (our cup was always filled with the good cheer and never with a tale of woe). Finally, the Philomatheia Ball at the Copley Plaza (O Boy, what a time! ) All happy incidents of our four years on the Heights. What pleasant and invigorating memories, what a pleasing refrain! ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS IN the compilation of this volume we were necessarily dependent upon the cooperation of a large number of the friends of Boston College and of the Class of 1926. For their assistance we are deeply grateful and in our grat- itude we are all-embracing. We are especially indebted to: Rev. P. J. McHugh, S. J., Dean of Boston College, for his constant supervision and ever ready assistance in our difficulties. Mr. William Rossi of Reynolds Printing Co.. who gave us unstintingly of his time and effort, whose advice we valued, whose courtesies we appre- ciated, and whose interest in our volume was unflagging. Mr. P. S. Gurwit of Jahn and Oilier Engraving Co.. for his art sug- gestions and the attention he gave our contract. Waid Studio for their cooperation in the handling of our photography. Philomatheia Club for the donation they so kindly made us. Our Advertisers without whom our present offering would have been necessarily curtailed. Messrs. Driscoll, Denneson and Fitzgerald of the Pilot Staff: to the Boston Post, the Herald and Globe for pictures: to Rev. John A. Brosnan, S. J. for campus views.

BUT OUR LIMITATIONS ARE MANIFOLD AND OUR BEST BUT POORLY EXPRESSES THE LOVE WE CHERISH FOR THE TOWERS UNDER WHICH WE WORK. OUR MEMORIES WILL BE WITH US ALWAYS AND HERE WE MERELY INDICATE THE PATHS THROUGH WHICH OUR THOUGHTS WILL READILY CARRY US AS THE YEARS DEEPEN THE JOYS THAT REMINISCENCE WILL RENEW. T.

Everett McPeake, Editor-in-Chief, 1926 Sub Turri, Boston College, Chestnut Hill, Mass. Dear Everett : All the advertising matter for the 1926 Sub Turri is in the hands of the printer today, and it is with pleasure that I announce the completion of what I believe to be the largest advertising section ever published in a year book at Boston College. This fact itself is indeed a tribute to the zeal and diligence of our advertising ' manager, Harry J. 0 ' Sullivan, with whom it has been a pleasure to be associated in a business capacity during the past year. In touching upon the subject of advertising, I do not think we can speak too highly of those men of business who have aided so materially by their advertising to make possible one of the most essen- tial activities at Boston College, and to the student body, and the Class of ' 26 especially, I offer this suggestion, that in patronizing our advertisers, they are making a most significant gesture of appreciation to these men who have shown their faith in our book as an advertising medium. I want to take this last opportunity to congratu- late you upon your success as editor, and to thank you for your loyal co-operation and able assistance in carrying out the business end of a year book that I sincerely hope will be worthy of a greater Boston College . Hoping my letter may in some degree tend to bring about a closer relationship between advertiser and student, I beg to remain. Yours for a Greater Boston College, Business Manager Aut0grapl|0 A«tngrapIj0 AutngrapljB THE SUB TURRI, ' 26 gratefully acknowledges the assistance of the BOSTON COLLEGE CLUBS of LAWRENCE NEWTON LOWELL _ , WALTHAM SOUTH BOSTON BROCKTON CAMBRIDGE BEVERLY Compliments of BALLARD SERVICE You arc cordially invited to come in and inspect the new office and showroom of the BALLARD OIL BURNING EQUIPMENT CO.
