A. Representative CHARLES JOSEPH ADAMS, A.B., 292 Centre Street, Brockton, was born on December 28, 1909. He was graduated from Brockton High and from St. Philip ' s Academy. He stands five feet, eight inches, weighs one hundred and sixty pounds. His light hair and ruddy complexion show that somewhere his people were Irish, though we can ' t get him to say yes or say no. He has a quiet genial disposition. His friends call him either Charlie or Apple. An interest in the Spanish language led him into membership in the Spanish Academy. But his college activities did not cease there. He was also a member of the Von Pastor History Academy and of the Sodality. During Freshman he served as a beadle and some of his classmates like to remember his friendly anxiety over their cuts as well as his own. He was always willing to share worries and burdens. Freshman Day and all the activi- ties that went with it stand out in his memory. His favorite year was spent in Junior philosophy with Father Low. Charlie appreciated his method of teaching without a fuss, laughed at his jokes, listened attentively to his stories, and learned a great amount of practical and theoreti- cal philosophy. Out of class Charlie worked somewhere in the dim mysterious fastnesses of the library dun- geons. He was always ready to wangle a book for a classmate and this together with all his good points made him quietly popular. JOSEPH AGRIPPINO, A.B., 17 Fleet Street, Boston, was the most prominent member of section B, and the unobtrusive little gentleman who in clear and commanding tones read to the interested members of that section the out- standing news events of the current college day. Mr. Agrippino, through his status as beadle of the section, commanded the attention of all. Short in stature, and of a slender build, Joe, nevertheless, has proceeded to secure for him- self a prominent position in college activities. His clarion tones have not confined themselves to the archives of SI 17 but have been heard to a great perfection in the current gatherings of the French Academy where he has successfully convinced one and all that he is a true son of the French tongue. His classmates have retained a high opinion of his executive abilities for he was elected vice- president of his junior class. He has devoted himself to a pursual of a pre-medical course, desiring to apply himself to the noble art of healing. His special ability as a typist may serve him in good stead here for consider how much easier it will be to decipher one of Doctor Joe ' s prescriptions carefully com- pounded on a Remington. He will always carry with him into his chosen profession the very ardent ambition which he has so earnestly writ- ten in his questionnaire: To be a good Catholic and a good doctor. He likes to psychoanalyze his friends, and to hold intelligent discussion on any subject, par- ticularly medicine, ethics, and religion. 25 JOHN MATTHEW AHEARN, A.B., 39 Webster Street, Arlington, was born on November 25, 1913, in Somerville. John soon moved to the town of Arlington. For four years he found James Street Prep an admirable place to study the wanderings of Ulysses and the adventures of Aeneas. His speed and flash made him an efficient and capable ice performer and he was a regular member of the Eaglet squad for three years. When the Spring grass turned green then Red smote a little white pellet around the turf for the golf team. When thoughts of college came to John, his eyes turned towards Newton and he discovered that Boston College was sit- uated in a place that was conducive both to study and play. The lure of the ice came again and he was a varsity performer in freshman and sophomore years. Irksome and tedious as were the duties of beadle Red carried them out with ability and dexterity. It was Mr. Ahearn this or Mr. Ahearn that and always with a smile he carried on. At the football games he was cheer leader and was always an inspiration to his class-mates, urging them on to cheer for Alma Mater. The wonderland they call New York City appealed to him in 1933 and he mentions that trip as the most memorable incident passed in college years. The future will find this sincere Arlington lad an asset in the ledger of life and the journal of the accounting world. PETER ANDREW ALUKONIS, A.B., 57 Carey Avenue, Chelsea, was born in Pittsburg, Penn- sylvania, on July 4, 1910. He graduated from the Chelsea High School, where he was head cashier of soinething. He is a well-set, well- developed person with blonde hair and peaceful blue eyes. He firmly believes in the maxim ' ' Mens sail in corpore sano, and lives up to it with all his 200 pounds and 5 feet, 11% inches. He is proud of his Lithuanian ancestors who were Crusaders, leaders of their community in the old country, and always ready and eager to fight, drink, eat or work. He is a good friend, and an unassuming fellow. He became Presi- dent of the Law Academy and Business Manager of the Playshop. The Dramatics Academy also numbered him as a member. For a while he was a trackman. He will remember his trip to Dartmouth, the Junior Prom, the Michigan State game, and philosophy with Father Low. He admires the beauty God has created in the world, in nature. He dances, plays football, likes to do interior decorating, is interested enough in the drama to try his hand at playwriting, reads in a desultory fashion, and loves children. Golf also interests him. He is fascinated by his fellow-men, dislikes hypocrisy and inconsistency when he sees it, and admires honesty and good-fellowship. He makes it a careful practice to count fifty when he feels himself getting angry. He says he wants a happy and successful life here on earth and in the life to come. 26 EARL ERNEST AVERY, Ph.B., lives at 12 Green Street, Plymouth, New Hampshire. Plym- outh, New Hampshire, has long been noted for its extensive self-advertising. When Earl first saw daylight there on May 22, 1913, he received the usual birth notice. Some seventeen years later Pat had become the local high-school leader. For Pat led everything from the High School Orchestra to the best football squad Plymouth has seen. St. Anselm ' s Prep, welcomed this all-state half back following his graduation. At St. Anselm ' s Pat met Ted Galligan and Tim Ready. They prevailed on Pat to come to the Hub city ' s Boston College. Joe McKenney, saw a great prospect in Earl ' s one hundred and eighty-seven pounds nicely propor- tioned to a height of 5 feet, 10 inches. Jovial Joe ' s prophecy proved to be exactly correct; for Pat has not only made a reputation for himself on the gridiron, but also for others with his fine blocking. He plans to coach and teach after graduation. He says the greatest thrill in his youthful career was the position he held as high-flying Eagle on the afternoon of October 19, 1935. Final score, B. C. 18, Mich. State, 6, and he has yet another facility. Mrs. Avery ' s boy is another Rudy Vallee; he plays a saxophone and croons. We don ' t know whether Pat will ever follow this musical career as Vallee did. We don ' t have to wish Pat good fortune, he has, and can take care of himself. DAVID BENEDICT BAILEY, A.B., 34 Berk- eley Avenue, Lowell, was born August 29, 1914 in Lowell. He entered Lowell High School, spent four years there, playing tennis and bang- ing tunes out of the old piano in unison with the school orchestra. A few months after he re- ceived his diploma, he decided to get a Boston College degree. Here, like his fellow Lowellite, Vin Mahoney, he has played varsity tennis for three years, but has confined his piano playing to the city limits of Lowell. In Junior he entered the Pre-medical course, has thrived on its varied menu of four o ' clock guinea pig ever since. For the past two years he has also given his time to the Programs of the Catholic Action Council. Naturally Dave enjoys watching a red hot tennis match, and oc- casionally he gives Lowell natives an idea of his terpsichorean achievements. During any time that he happens to be left unoccupied, Dave will turn on the radio and keep time to some smootli orchestra, like Casa Loma or Wayne King ' s. After countless warnings that the Boston Col- lege Pre-medical course is positively mild when compared with Medical School, Dave is still firm in his intention to bring an M.D. back to Lowell in four or possibly three years. Wlien he at- tains this ambition and takes the Oath of Hip- pocrates, Dave promises to send down many more Lowell lads to swing Boston College rackets. 27 WALTER LEON BANKS, A.B., 12 Cottage Street, Lowell, was born February 16, 1914, in Lowell. He went to Keith Academy, studied, managed the football and the baseball teams. When he found that a squadron of Lowell lads was marching to the Heights, he fell in line, en- rolled with the Class of 1936. Despite the hours he spent in transporting himself to and from the country, he managed to find time to take part in quite a few activities. He attended the Sod- ality for four years; in Sophomore, he startled fellow Lowell-ites by winning races for the Track Team. The following year he began a series of vocal recitals, together with fifty other members of the loud sounding Glee Club. His success as a virtuoso caused him to join The Heights Staff, in order that he might censor and enlarge Glee Club articles; to take care of the fiscal side of the concert business he joined the Economics Academy. After singing a difficult aria, Walter sits down and completes three or five crossword puzzles; if the audience is exceptionally friendly he will test a pun or two on one of its more gullible members. He recalls vividly his tour to Man- hattan with the Glee Club and his trip to Boston to attend the Junior Promenade. Walter has promised that he will give up yodelling after graduation, will follow the money mart instead. After a year at Boston University Business School he will go back to Lowell and open the chain of Banks ' National Banks. WILLIAM LEO BARRY, A.B., 17 Huckins Street, Roxbury, was born April 26, 1914, in Roxbury. At the conclusion of his grammar school days, he entered Boston College High School. During his undergraduate days at the High School he debated on ponderous questions, then graduated and entered Boston College. He ran around the cinder track for a year or two, but finally decided that he would spend his time on the rifle range. Bill also joined the Von Pastor History Academy and occasionally traced the course of past events for college historians. In Sophomore and again in Senior he left Boston and travelled over to the Polo Grounds to watch Boston College play Fordham. Bill ' s greatest thrill as a B. C. man came when the Eagles trounced Michigan State. He enjoys an argu- ment between Jonsey and Billy Frazier in the Rotunda, he does not enjoy the yowling of grand- stand quarterbacks or the post-mortems pro- nounced over examinations. Bill has shown his keen literary sense, by spending many hours as a librarian, and delving over the countless tomes in the book stacks. When Bill receives his Bachelor of Arts degree he will not leave the Heights; instead he will con- tinue his courses a year or two and receive his Master ' s degree. After this Bill thinks he will give up his job as a librarian and devote his time to teaching youngsters how to debate, how to study history and why they should all go to Boston College, and possibly why they should go to Boston College High. 28 WILLIAM EDMOND BAXTER, A.B., 102 Lincoln Street, North Easton, was born in that very pleasant little town down in Bristol County on November 17, 1911. He was graduated from the high school in that town and matriculated at Boston College in 1932. Although the daily jaunt from North Easton was a long one. Bill never complained, even when he and his fellow travellers had to stop in Norwood to buy candles to thaw the thick ice from their windshield. He stands 5 feet, 8 inches, weighs 140 pounds, responds to Bill with a smile all over his ruddy face underneath his brown hair, and is full of good-natured exclamations. In high school he was a good outfielder. Now he plays second b ase for the North Easton Town Team and as Buddy Baxter has more than once been a hero, in breaking up or saving a ball-game. In senior he became a member of the Alpine Club, a sociological organization instituted to further the interests of tag football. He is looking forward to a career in business. He is no relation to Dan Baxter, the villain of the famous Rover Boy series. His classmates are willing to testify that his qualities are an emphatic antithesis to those of Dan Baxter. HENRY GEORGE BEAUREGARD, A.B., 48 Harrison Street, Brookline, was born in Worcester on June 17, 1915. He stands 5 feet, 8 2 inches, weighs about 155 pounds. He is descended from Irish, French-Canadian, Scott- ish, English, German, and New England Yankee stock. He was graduated from St. Mary ' s High in Brookline. He was one of the highest rank- ing honor students of our class. He was Editor-in-Chief of the SuB-TuRRi, first Vice-President and then President of the Fulton, a member of the Student Council in Senior, on the Editorial Council of The Stylus for four years, and on the Sodality Advisors Board. In Sophomore, he was Vice-President of the Marquette. For four years he was one of the most prominent debaters in the college. He was an international, intercollegiate prize, and lec- ture debater. As a junior he was the first junior in many years to win the Roberts Medal in the Fulton Prize Debate, the highest debating award Boston College offers and one that caused his name to be inscribed in gold letters on tlie Fulton wall. Mr. O ' Keefe, S.J. Moderator of ihe Fulton, and a Roberts Medallist himself, has described him as one of the best debaters he has ever known. For four years he was active in the Dramatics Society and appeared in four plays. In senior he was one of three representatives sent by tlie college to the National Institute of Public Af- fairs in Washington. In Senior he was a mem- ber of Father Feeney ' s Evidences Guild. 29 WILLIAM VITO BELLANTONIO, A.B., 16 Fayette Street, Milford, was born November 5, 1914, in that town. He was graduated from the Milford High School where he was president of his class for four years, a member of the dramatics society, a basketball, football, and baseball player. As a pitcher he was one of the best in Massachusetts interscholastic competi- tion. In one All-Scholastic game at Fenway Park he so impressed sub-sports reporter Dalton that the latter instantly recognized him some years later when they met for the next time in Father Mulligan ' s class. He stands 5 feet, 7 inches, weighs 160 pounds. He is short and stocky with brown eyes and dark brown hair. He says that his Italian ancestors were the first to discover that the tower of Pisa was really leaning. When he smiles, his eyes crinkle. When he laughs, he laughs vigorously and pleasantly. He has an especially appreciative way of look- ing at a talkative classmate, and a shrewd abil- ity at formulating judgments. He plays a good game of table tennis, is a masterful interior decorator, and studies so easily that he considers it a hobby. He likes the opera, poetry, novels, and the comic strips. At Boston College he was a member of the Baseball squad in Freshman, a member of the History and French Societies in Sophomore. Through storms, skids, floods, and accidents his car was the bus and he was the driver of Milford students. He intends to go to graduate school. EDWARD JOHN BERRA, A.B., 33 Porter Street, Somerville, was born New Year ' s Day, 1914 in Piedmont, Italy. After discovering that Boston College was in America, and that one could hardly commute daily between University Heights and Piedmont, Ed caught the first liner to the United States. He went to Somerville High School, studied hard, received his diploma and enrolled as a Boston Collegian in September, 1932. He joined Father Quinn ' s Sodality, became an ac- tive member of the English Academy and found that his knowledge of Italian arts and culture enhanced the Dante Academy. As a Catholic Actioneer in Junior, he filed the names of past, present and future Boston College boys. To relax from the cares of filing and studying, Ed will sit down to a piano, go through the in- tricate operatic crescendos of Verdi, the Pied- montese composer. However he aspires to no such career as Verdi, but will instruct future generations in the art of speaking English cor- rectly. With this idea in mind, Ed has ran- sacked all libraries at the Heights and Somerville in his search for good books. Every student of English hopes to gaze at his own work on the printed page. Ed will finally attain this ambi- tion when he gazes at a few of the Sub Turri pages. When a Bachelor of Arts he will go to graduate school, become a Master of English. Then he will look around for a Chair of Eng- lish and settle down to the difficult task of teach- ing English to Americans. 30 LOUIS CHARLES BEVACQUA, Ph.B., 615 East Sixth Street, South Boston, was born on the same Peninsula on August 6, 1913. He is tall and dark with curly hair, ruddy checks and a quizzical expression in die dark eyes inherited from his Italian ancestors. He tips the scales under his flaming red sweater at 165 pounds, stands 5 feet, 11% inches. He was graduated from Boston English High School. In his first two years at Boston College he was a faithful sodalist. He has also been a prominent member of the History Academy. Over in Southie he has joined the Boston College Club of South Boston in the attempt to calm the stormy sessions of that active organization. His interest in the liquid language of Dante and Mussolini brought him into the Italian Academy. He intends to go on to a graduate school, to prepare himself very seriously for the task of being an educator, and then teaching in an able manner. With his rather retiring disposition but ready conversation and cheerfulness, he succeeded in earning for himself a high regard among the small group of classmates with whom he daily associated. JOHN LEO BLACK, Ph.B., 50 Willow Street, Wollaston, has been one of the most retiring members of the senior class but it has not en- tirely prevented his light from shining forth from behind the proverbial bushel. As a mem- ber of the golf team, John has done much to further the interests of the sport at Boston Col- lege. Born in Dorchester in May, 1914, John decided to try Quincy High school for his col- lege preparatory training. At high school he played a bit of football but upon entering B. C. he evidently decided to devote himself wholly to his beloved golf, for we find John on the freshman squad (or whatever a golf team is called). As a member of the team Blackie did noble work. Many a time in Freshman Oratory, he set aright the faulty concepts of classmates in re- gard to the various grips and stances. But John also found time to make that memorable Fordham trip to New York, for he notes it as the most outstanding event. In his studies John devoted himself with diligence to the pursuit of a business career, choosing as an elective accounting, than which there is no greater evil, lest it be Vector analysis. John, you see, wishes to perfect himself that he may step into his Dad ' s shoes as a business executive, and we know he will make a good one, for he has the qualities of leadership and courage, necessary requisites for this type of position period. 31 DANIEL JOSEPH BOUDREAU, A.B., 695 Bennington Street, East Boston, was born twenty-one years ago, on November 30, in that suburb of Boston known as Noddle ' s Island. As a lad he travelled daily to Boston College High School, where he studied Greek and Latin with interest, and took his diploma with more inter- est. One day, while en route to the James Street Emporium of Knowledge, he hit on the idea of matriculating at Boston College. In September, 1932, he entered, went out for track, and ran through his Freshman and Sophomore years. Dan considers his Sophomore year at the College the outstanding event of his mortal career. Under Father Quinn, Dan became a faithful Sodalist, and devoted himself earnestly to the acquirement of a greater skill in the classics. He translated Latin and Greek, with such facility, that one unacquainted with Dan would believe he was merely reading an Eng- lish sentence. In Junior, Dan stopped trotting around the track, and started attending the History Acad- emy. Three days of Senior Year saw Dan strolling up and down Broadway, or sitting in the Polo Grounds, cheering the Boston College Eagle in its melee with the Fordham Ram. He enjoys dancing and listening to good music played by Wayne King or Guy Lombardo; the Sophomore Prom was the most enjoyable dance he attended as an undergraduate. Dan is still undecided about his future career, for he is not sure what position commands the most lucrative leisure. STEPHEN JOSEPH BRENAN, A.B., 70 Pleasant Street, Wakefield, was born in that town, September 27, 1914. He claims Scotch- Irish ancestry. We have taken him to task sev- eral times on the spelling of his surname. He insists on writing it without the double N. He has never given us a suitable explanation on this po:nt. Steve prepared for B.C. at Wakefield High School. At the college, he joined up with the Alpine Club, Economics and Ethics Academies. He was also a member of the Freshman-Sopho- more Sodality. He was wont to quit the campus rather late evenings, owing to the fact he worked daily in the library, binding pamphlets, a job that was ever a source of grave perplexity to his associates. Steve stands 6 feet, 2 inches, and sends the red needle to the 170 mark. His reminiscences of his college career will always hover about the days spent in Professor Doyle ' s Sociology classes. His junior year found him a con- scientious worker in the Physics Lab and a lender of a helping-hand to fellow-strugglers. He has an abundance of riddles at hand from which he is constantly drawing at opportune moments. As an artist, he strikes a melodious note on the fiddle. He is a staunch supporter of the home-town ' s daily paper. The Wakefield Item, a press that has Steve in its employ. He looks forward to the day when he will becom Major-Domo of the Alpines. His hobby is collecting books of paper matches. 32 THOMAS JOSEPH BRENNAN, A.B., 34 John- son Square, Brockton, was born June 2, 1914. At twenty-one, Tom is six feet in height and weighs one hundred and eighty-five pounds, has deep blue eyes and a shock of golden curly hair. At Boston College High, where he first became a Jesuit student, Tom was outstanding in foot- ball and baseball. In studies, he ranked among the leaders, and culminated his high school career by his election to the two most prominent offices, President of the Sodality, and President of the Senior Class. Tom had an unusual reputation to live up to, both as a student and as an athlete, but now at the end of four years of intercol- legiate activity he has added to his laurels and stands forth as a true Boston College scholar and gridiron star. Newspaper critics have hailed him as one of the most consistent players in the East. On the baseball field he has intermittently pitched and guarded the outfield. Tom, despite fame as a football hero, is perhaps the mildest mannered man on the campus. In his intention to continue his education and obtain a Master of Arts degree, his ambitions will be recognized as one of scholastic attain- ment, in order that he may devote his life to the teaching profession. No one is better qualified for this work than Tom, who has been a student, and has also come in contact with men on the gridiron which teaches lessons that are never learned in the classroom. No doubt in his chosen field, he will succeed, for his quiet per- sonality and gentlemanly bearing, are assets of unusual worth. PAUL MAURUS BRESNAHAN, A.B., 27 Ainsworthy Street, Roslindale, was born in Boston, February 27, 1914. He attended Boston Latin where he participated in track and swim- ming. Soon after he came to Boston College he devoted himself to the managerial duties of the baseball and track squads. His good work won him the job of Varsity Baseball manager during his senior year. Bres has quite a novel hobby. This is the analysis of people ' s characteristics. Bres would like very much to further this vocation with the study of crimin- ology at Harvard. However, if this hope cannot be realized, a second alternative would be so- ciology. Regardless of which eventually is the case, he ' s firm in his intention to become some- thing in the line of social service. Paul carries 160 lbs. within his 5 feet, 10 inch frame. He considers his many travels with the baseball team as the most outstanding event in his college life. In truth, Paul is an unsung hero. How many football fans have depended on Paul and have paid little or no acknowledgement to his tireless efforts? Paul was employed last fall in posting on the score- board the number of the player who toted the pigskin, the amount of yardage to go, and the other details so expedient in the spectator ' s view- point. During the game, Paul would give vent to the enthusiasm aroused by a B.C. touchdown play, by increasing the speed of the revolving sign that indicates downs to its maximum. 33 AUSTIN WHITE BREWIN, A.B., 58 Forest Avenue, Everett, was born in Everett, November 29, 1915, and has lived there all his life. He has never worried about anything whatsoever. Austin came to the college from B. C. High. He was on the football squad and the fencing team at the Heights, and coached the undefeated Stylus eleven. He was the business manager of The Stylus, and wrote a few poems and stories for the magazine when the editor was short of copy. He was also a main cog in The Heights for the past two years, staying at Grimes ' print- ing plant until all hours of the night, writing vague features and headlines that did not fit. In his third year Brewin was a member of the Glee Club but he had to give it up because it was interfering with his social life. Next year he plans to study Social Service at Catholic University. He is twenty years old, 170 pounds, and stands five eleven in his stocking feet. He likes his buttered toast with a little salt on it. Captain of the B.C. football team sometime back in the nineties was his father. JOHN RAYMOND BRODERICK, B.S., 6 Bailey Street, Dorchester, was born in Dorchester on February 13, 1914. His scientific degree is in Physics. He was graduated from the Boston College High School, where he played in the orchestra. He stands 5 feet, 9 inches, weighs 160 pounds. His skin is very fair, his hair is very red. He is very fond of all red- heads. He is a direct descendant of Brian Boru. Like Brian Boru he has the type of personality that makes offensive persons very quickly meek. Poker and the Bohr theory of atomic construc- tion are his pet hobbies. For four years he showed his ability as a violinist in the Orchestra. For four years he lifted his voice in talented harmony with the Glee Club. In his last year he was elected Secretary-Treasurer of the con- bined Musical Clubs. He was a member of the Sodality, the Physics Seminar, and of Dramatics for four years. In Freshman he was Assistant Stage Manager, in Sophomore he was Stage Manager, in Junior and Senior he was Business Manager of Dramatics. In his last year he was a member and Business Manager of the Playshop. He was also Chair- man of the Junior Week theater party. He likes to remember the Cross game of 1933 and the Michigan State game of 1935. He shall never forget Hamlet with Teddy Marier in 1934. 34 FRANCIS HAROLD BROWN, 58 Chandler Street, Somerville, was born in Cambridge, May 18, 1912. A short stocky fellow, left-handed, with a gleam of deviltry in his green eyes, and crowned with a crop of dark brown curly hair — that describes Frank Brown who missed out by one shade in becoming that renowned orchestra leader. He reaches 5 feet, 9 inches in height and balances the Fairbanks at 156. Frank attended Somerville High School and upon graduation came to Boston College in pursuit of an A.B. degree. When bridge-play- ing was abolished in the lunch room. Brownie was one of the principal martyrs as bridge was his favorite hobby and at which he was quite adept. However, Frank was undaunted and turned to spaghetti and tag-football. He intends to continue his education at medical school with the hope of some day becoming a famed surgeon. He ' s Tough-Luck Man No. 1 when it comes to breaks and injuries. According to Frank, his predecessors were Irish, who were noted for their keen sense of humor. He seems truly to have absorbed some of their characteristics and is a jovial lad whom we find easy to please. With Frank as your pal, you are assured of a staunch supporter who will stand by and help you weather the storm, as Paul, Charlie, or Johnny will attest. He men- tions no dislikes. NEIL PAUL BULMAN, A.B., 27 Oakley Street, Dorchester, was born March 6, 1915. The most famous section of the city. South Boston, is claimed by Neil to be his birthplace. Being of Irish extraction which shows in his smiling countenance so pleasantly, that one would ex- pect and does hear the smoothest of Irish wit, Neil has an aptitude for study that warranted his being sent to the little red school house on James St., known as Boston College High School. Having dwelt in a religious influence, he quickly became accustomed to the Jesuit cur- riculum and soon attained prominence in his studies at this illustrious institution. While there he was a member of the Sodality and en- gaged in intramural sports. After graduation from High School, he entered the classic halls overlooking the Newton reservoir and once more attained the prominence in studies which he had previously scaled. Neil enjoyed most thoroughly his Sophomore year in the Class of 2C, and since then has sailed serenely through his Philosophy Years. He has not decided, as yet, what he desires to do in this life below, but undoubtedly that smile of his will go a long way in assisting him to accomp- lish anything he desires. 35 JOHN ALBERT BURGOYNE, A.B., 112 Mangaun Avenue, Medford, was born May 4, 1914, in the city of Maiden. He sought his high school education out of town, attending St. John the Evangelist High in North Cambridge. He en- tered Boston College with the class of 1936 in pursuit of an A.B. degree. As was his wont in high-school, he soon became interested in extra curriculum affairs, joining the Economics Club, Glee Club, Sodality, and Radio Club, during his four year stay at the Heights. Al, answering also to Bocky, Fancy, and Clarkey stretches 5 feet, 11 inches and weighs 150 pounds. Al slicks his hair but you would never know because he is constantly muss- ing it up while delving into his concept of how the Heights will look fifty years hence. Altho he likes to gaze into the crystal ball, he equally enjoys reminiscences of the Sophomore Prom, the B.C.-Michigan State clash, and the Fordham trip in junior. Al was seen quite frequently at the dansants held by the Regis class of ' 34 emulating his favorite, Fred Astaire. His choice of dance music is Ray Noble. He thoroughly enjoyed Philosophy in Junior with Father Low, S. J. He delights in the early summer at the Heights. GERARD FRANCIS BURKE, A.B., 109 Montebello Road, Jamaica Plain, was born March 2, 1913, in Jamaica Plain. He was grad- uated from Boston Latin in 1932. He stands 5 feet, 9I 2 inches, weighs 140 pounds, has curly brown hair and light blue eyes. At Latin School he was Chairman of his Class Day, be- sides being on his class Committee, a baseball player and a cartoonist. At Boston College he was in Freshman on the Baseball squad, and on The Heights. For a while he devoted all his at- tention to Dramatics and was so successful that by Senior he was President. Though he ap- peared in many plays, perhaps his most success- ful appearance was in Journey ' s End as Cap- tain Hardy. He was also elected Censor of the Fulton. But his business instincts cropped out. He became Advertising Manager of The Stylus and took on the most difficult task at Boston College, the Business Managership of the SuB TuRRi. With Beauregard he had to carry the cross of the Sub Turri. His friends call him either Gerry or Sport with a riding emphasis on the r in the latter. Farnol ' s novels draw his approval, Dahl ' s car- toons his assent, and debates his patronage. He remembers with especial pleasure the Sophomore Prom, and the Dramatics Banquet in Junior. He intends to go into merchandising or advertis- ing. He will enter the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration in the Fall. 36 JOHN ARTHUR BURKE, A.B., 58 Westminster Street, Hyde Park, was born in that part of Boston, July 23, 1914. He attended Boston Latin where he played hockey and engaged in a bit of debating. Jack applied his forensic abil- ity to sport and led his teammates on to vic- tory with his chatter. At the Heights he con- tinued hockey with the freshman team. Upon the close of the season, he changed skates for spikes. Now his favorite pastime is covering a two-mile stretch of cross-country. His hobby (as he puts it) is running, running, and run- ning. Pole-vaulting attracts his eye. His favorite college memory is the trip to West Point with the track squad. Jack weighs 135 which is quite light for his 5 feet, 10 inches height. His motor vehicle license describes him as having brown hair and blue eyes. Altho he delights in sports. Jack hits the books quite steadily in the Pre-Med course. As a inember of the Pre-Med Club he revels in Biology. He has all the good intentions of go- ing to medical school. Doc has four prom- inent likes and four dislikes. He likes: Jack Ryder, ice cream (in spite of what Father Boehm says). Biology, and Proms. He dislikes: Phil- osophy, Holy Cross, the track room, and Joe Lemmonville. His ambition is to be a country doctor but if it ' s his lot to remain in the city, he is going to lower the curtains in the hospital opposite Latin School. A parting shot from Jack: What this college needs is an athletic field house and dormitories. JOHN GOSNELL BURKE, A.B., 10 Holiday Street, Dorchester, was born December 15, 1913 in Roxbury. Doc received his High School training at Boston Latin. He matriculated at the Heights in the autumn of ' 32. He pledged his support to the Sodality during his four years here. He looks to the World for his future education. He reaches 6 feet tall and 155 pounds. His one ambition is to travel. Doc must use an abstracting mirror to view his per- son for he describes himself as slim, brown hair - eyes. A Burke mannerism while in deep contemplation: his thumb supports his jaw like a jack, his fore and middle fingers ruffle his upper left cheek, while his other two fingers smother an embryo moustache. He relishes arguments with Paul Bresnahan; equally amusing is his plaguing Bill Baxter about the farm. His prominent like is tag-foot- ball and in this endeavor he is an ardent sup- porter of the Alpine Club. His pet hate is ex- aminations. In his lofty nest way up behind the score-board, Doc was wont to witness the football games and post numbers at the same time. His best recollection from these struggles is the Frietas-Furbush pass that beat tlie Cross in ' 33. He is a royal rooter of King Pigskin and hopes that the athletic association continues to better the football schedule. He delights in big-league hockey and keeps a tally of the Bruin scores. He is a bit of an artist in his own right and has scribbled the pages of his text-books with all types of aeroplanes. 37 ROBERT FRANCIS CAHILL, A.B., 9 Whittier Road, Wellesley Hills, was born October 9, 1915, in Newton. He went to Wellesley High School, where he played basketball and baseball and led in all Dramatic Club oflferings. When the applause died down he heard of Boston College, grabbed his grease paint and headed for the Heights. Although Greek was literally Greek to him, he figured that the show must go on, that Grecian phrases would be good practice in tragedy; result was some excellent interpreta- tions in the Dramatic Club and the Playhouse. Bob went to Sodality for four years, orated to Fultonians in Senior, served as Vice-President of the Senior Class, wrote biographies for the Sub Turri. With the shrewdness of a Thespian he declared Fred Astaire ' s dancing to be unex- celled, Jimmy Lunceford ' s music to be barbaric and insipid. To get away from the troubles of stage, Greek and vice-presidency. Bob flies to Scituate, to swim and play tennis. He is still uncertain about the future, but such an astute person as he must know that a vice president who would rather spend his time on Broadway or at Scituate, is eagerly sought after by Republican, Democrat and Socialist alike. HERBERT FRANCIS CARROLL, 42 Aberdeen Road, Milton, was born in Mattapan, July 12, 1914. His preparatory education was received at Milton High where he distinguished himself as a thespian and a pigskin carrier. He came to B. C. in pursuit of an A.B. degree. He was a member of Sodality during his entire four years. He plans to take graduate work in English for an M.A. degree. He is six feet two in his flashy socks, weighs 215 pounds, has a large crop of red hair that occasioned Fr. J. F. X. Murphy, S.J. to label him Red Top, and is built like an overgrown cherub. He has Irish-Scotch ancestors who were noted for their teetotalism. Hub, Toots, Phineas, Punjab (he answers to all of them) takes great interest in hockey. The most outstanding in- cidents in his college life occurred while he was a second-year man. They were the Sophomore Prom, and Gold in the Hills. He dislikes chocolate ice cream, Fred Waring, and Katherine Hepburn. His favorites are Robert Hillyer and Bob Montgomery. His hobby is letter-writing. He claims vocal ability. However, his best friend wouldn ' t second this. Although physical description alone should suffice, he is likewise recognized by his amiability, pleasing laugh, and distinctive dancing. 38 JOHN PAUL CARROLL, A.B., 131 Surrey Street, Medford, was born in Maiden, October 2, 1915. Speed received his preparatory edu- cation at St. John ' s High in North Cambridge. There he wore the colors as a member of the basketball five. He acted as a Junior marshall at graduation and in Senior served in the capa- city of class treasurer. On ascending the Heights, he became a Sodalist. He was also a member of the Economics Academy during his last year. He is treading on the brink of humor when he asserts that he was a member of the Crew — and the Varsity at that! He is secretary of the Medford-Malden B. C. Club. Speed stretches 6 feet and gives his weight as 159. His hobby is athletics and he shows no partisan to any one sport. His pet dislike is a disloyal B. C. man. His favorite memories are the two Fordham trips and the Holy Cross struggles of ' 33 and ' 34. His comments on these Cross games is that the former was a good game, while the latter was a good drenching. Speed receives our nomination for class poet or at least Limerick Laureate. He has composed stanzas of verse during his few idle moments. Much of it is satirical. What very few probably know is that he is an expert meat cutter and can clean fish with the best of them. ROBERT EDWARD CHAMBERLAIN, A.B., 83 Greater Road, West Roxbury, was born March 10, 1915, in Mattapan. When he had learned his fundamentals, he travelled to Bos- ton College High School and studied for four years to equip himself for college. With a diploma in hand he entered Boston College in September, 1932, where he showed his administrative ability by handling the man- agerial affairs of the fencing team. His experi- ence in the high school magazine and yearbook stood him in good stead when he ran hither and yon as a fact gatherer for The Heights. Bob raised his golden voice in union with the Glee Club, but modestly claims that he is not yet as good as Caruso. In Senior Bob received more cheers than probably any other Boston College man; to say that he was head cheer leader should in no way detract from the worth of this applause. Bob enjoys boat trips to New York with the football team and the Glee Club, but some day he hopes to fly over in his own plane. As head cheer leader it is only natural that Bob should like sports very much and exceed- ingly dislike those who lack the old Boston Col- lege spirit. He enjoys the Jesuits and tlieir sys- tem of pedagogy, but has decided that he will plunge into the business world. To prepare for this plunge and the shock that will follo v Bob hopes to spend a couple of years at Harvard Business School and add an M.B.A. to his A.B. from Boston College. 39 JOSEPH THOMAS CLOUGHERTY, A.B., 174 Fourth Street, South Boston, was born in Dorchester, December 1, 1915, and consequently claims to be the youngest lad in the class. This claim is jealously guarded by Joe, while some two hundred and fifty other Seniors wisely ignore it. Child prodigy Clougherty graduated from B. C. High School, after he had bewildered Cicero, Homer, Vergil and most of the faculty. The little fellow entered Boston College at the tender age of sixteen, and sailed through an uneventful Freshman year. In Sophomore, under Father Quinn ' s tutelage, Joe found the humorous side of Latin, Greek and English. That Autumn he had the luck to win a trip to the Fordham game. After enjoying the game and a turn about Gotham, he demonstrated to the officers of the homeward bound scow the correct objects to designate as flotsam and jetsam. His only complaint during Sophomore was the adoption of the guttural Gaelic pronuncia- tion of his name. During Senior Joe flooded the Rotunda with Annie Oaklies to the Irish American A. C. fights which he had promoted. After graduating, Joe will spend a year or two at Teachers College before he starts training the growing crop of South Boston prodigies. When enough prodigies have been trained from a fiscal standpoint, he expects to sail to France ' s fair hills and dales, then return and spend the rest of his life relaxing and artistically draw- ing on a Missouri Meerschaum. CHARLES RICHARD COCHRAN, A.B., 217 Warren Street, Roxbury, was born in the neigh- boring suburb of Jamaica Plain, February 20, 1914. Even before his right foot could touch the loud pedal, he began pressing the white and black notes down. But today, he confesses to alienation of affiliations with the Steinway. He prepared for his four years on the Heights at Boston Latin. Since his graduation, he has never failed to attend the annual Thanksgiving Day battle between his alma mater and her tradi- tional foe, English. Boston College and its weapon, Greek, held no allurement for Charlie who took it and bore it. Physics was his pet hate in Junior. His perseverance was rewarded when he joined Fr. Boehm ' s Psychology class. He avers he profited by the reverend father ' s familiar transgressions, yclept, philosophy in overalls. Charlie ' s labors in the district library presented a handi- cap to his taking part in extra-curricula activi- ties. This was always regretted by Charlie who, however, smilingly maintained the axiom, Work before pleasure. He stands 5 feet 10 inches and weighs 135 pounds. His hobby is smoking cigars, admitting that the occasion comes solely from donations. He considers the morning jaunt from the Worces- ter pike to the Heights as a good start for a busy day. He thinks the erection of dormitories on our campus would be a lengthy stride toward an ideal college atmosphere. As an aftermath to his college career he would like nothing better than a two-year cruise. 40 JOHN FRANCIS COLLINS, A.B., 58 Lamoille Avenue, Haverhill, was born in the same city on October 28, 1914. He was graduated from Haverhill High. He is of moderate build, stands 5 feet, 8 inches, weighs about 135 pounds. His dark brown hair has at various times been well whiffled. He claims Scotch-Irish ancestry and maintains that his ancestors were the Kings of Clan Colin. As a pre-med man he spent the usual long hours in the usual labs. During his entire un- dergradute career he had a first class ability at getting rides to and from the North Station. But the four years of trekking from Haver- hill to the Heights have given him a definite distaste for commuting, a distaste stamped more deeply in his heart by the length and steepness of the climb from the elevated station of Lake Street to the College. He has a perverse habit of taking the part of the radical opposition in much-mooted ques- tions, sometimes to his elation but usually to his chagrin. Some of his friends call him Jack or Ripper, but ordinarily he is known as just plain John. Those first hour Psych lectures and the afternoons spent in Biology Lab will always hold a prominent place in his memory, as will also the football team ' s victory over Michigan State and the stories told by the fellows after returning from the Fordham game in New York. WILLIAM JOSEPH COLLINS, JR., A.B., 83 Mandalay Road, Newton, was born June 30, 1914, in Jersey City, New Jersey. He was graduated from the Boston College High School where he debated and played in the orchestra. He stands 5 feet, 8 inches, weighs 132 pounds. He is slim, with blue eyes, light hair, and a fair complexion. His voice is low and pleasant. He says his great-great-great-grandfather was a pirate. He has special ability at playing the piano and carving marble. A long time ago some one gave him a toy and he started a col- lection which with time has become a hobby. Besides adding to his collection of toys, he likes to play his piano. Father Feeney ' s English Composition Course in the Graduate School always pleased him but B. C. politicians and amateur programs con- stitute a nuisance in his eyes. His friends call him Lefty, Wee Willie, or simply Bill. He was so often with his friend John Paget that the one without the other was a surprise. Beginning in Sophomore he was on The Heights staff and was Feature Editor in Senior. He was a member of the Sodality, and Mar- quette treasurer in Sophomore. In his last two years he was a member of the Von Pastor His- tory Academy. The outstanding events in his college career were the Michigan State game, tlie nights on tlie Heights, the ripping times in The Heights ' office, a certain sleighride and something to do widi Northampton, Massachusetts. He intends to go to the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. 41 WILLIAM PATRICK COLPOYS, A.B., 36 Up- land Avenue, Dorchester, was born September 1, 1913. From Boston Latin School he entered Boston College for his work preparatory to medical school. He was a staunch defender of Catholicism, no matter what the issue, a capable exponent of the Catholic principles of morality, and one thoroughly imbued with the personal realization of the applications of the doctrines of Catholic philosophy and psychology to the problems of everyday life. A skilled classicist and quondam secretary of the Greek Academy, Pat delighted equally in the intricacies of physi- cal science under the kindly eye of Father Tobin and pursued his medical studies with the same zeal with which he mastered the difficulties of psychology as propounded by Father Boehm. A lover of the best classical music, he had su- perior attainments and facility with the best known German authors. His lunch room de- fences of Father Cough lin will long be remem- bered. And as another like he lists Fr. Camp- bell ' s Freshman Evidences. It is clear to all who know Pat that he has taken from Boston College everything which Boston College could give him and that his fu- ture success has been prefigured by the daily manifestation of his many and varied abilities in his undergraduate years. ROBERT VINCENT CONDON, B.S., 14 West- bourne Street, West Roxbury, was born March 19, 1913 in Jamaica Plain. His scientific de- gree is in biology. He was graduated from the Boston English High School. He stands 6 feet, weighs 175 pounds. His hair is brown, his chin firm, and his eye steady. In college he was a member of The Heights staff for his first three years, and a member of the Sodality in his last two years. In his last year he was a member of the Biographies Stafif of the Sub Turri. In the fall of his senior year he was on the committee for the dance after the Villanova game. Bob is recognized as a reserved but very observative member of the class. He likes to swim, likes to listen to orchestras. He will always remember the proms he attended and the Michigan State game he saw. In his last year he was a member of the Pre- Med Academy, where he was one of the most interesting and instructive of all those Seniors who addressed the Seminar each Thursday morn- ing. He intends to attend medical school. 42 JOHN JOSEPH CONNELLY, A.B., 6 Warren Street, Reading, was born in Reading in 1912. He stands 5 feet, 11 inches, weighs 150 pounds. He attended Reading High School before matriculating at Boston College where he was quite active in athletics. During his Freshman year at the Heights he was a member of the track team. Although active in his studies and living at a distance, John found time for such extra-curricular activi- ties as the History and French Academies. In addition he was a Sodalist for the entire four years. John ' s quiet ways and even disposition won for him the admiration and respect of his class- mates, in spite of (or maybe because of) the fact that he allowed Pete Alukonis to inveigle him into the Law Academy. He lists among his favorite hobbies a talent for tickling the ivories. The rest of his spare time John devotes in sea- son to golf, tennis, swimming and other modes of outdoor exercise. Thus, although it is John ' s ambition to go to Law School and become a successful barrister, he strikes the happy medium between study and exercise. So with sound m ind in a fit body John sets out to become the venerable judge he hopes to be and so bring further renown to his illustrious Alma Mater. DRURY IRWIN CONNOR, A.B., 49 Milton Street, North Andover, was born August 25, 1915, in Lawrence and attended Johnson High School in North Andover. He stands 5 feet, 11 inches, weighs 147 pounds. A fairly serious- minded fellow, he is at heart easy going and likeable. His time outside of class was devoted to membership in the Sodality for the entire four years, the History Academy, and both years in the Fulton. Drury did well enough in the so- ciety to warrant future success as a debater. He is one of the props and mainstays of the Boston College Club of Lawrence, for scarcely an affair is promoted by this kinetic club but that Drury is not right in the thick of things. He displayed a rather subtle sense of humor at all times, which is indeed a most commendable trait. Drury says that it is his ambition to separate dishonesty from politics and one can easily see that his life is going to be a very full one, if he devotes his time to this ambitious enterprise. Seriously, however, if a few of the Class of 1936 had this end in view, the world would be the better. There is no question about the nobility of diis undertaking and if Drury is sincere in his efforts, we can only say may success and good fortune be his lot. 43 JAMES FRANCIS CONNORS, A.B., 56 Dale Street, East Dedham, was born July 19, 1914 in Dedham. After an elementary training at Ded- ham ' s Little Red School House, he entrained for James Street, spent four years at Boston College High School, absorbing classics and venting his extra energy on extra curricula activities. Running on the wooden boards as a trackman, speaking from the wooden platform as a de- bater, writing biographies on a wooden desk as a year-book editor kept him busy. Then Jim ' s thoughts of a higher education turned to the Heights of Chestnut Hill. For the last four years he has been a diligent and rather quiet student. He has become especially interested in Sociology and recalls Professor Doyle ' s lectures on the subject with keen delight. In Freshman he continued his high school habit of running on the track team, but figured that it was beneath the dignity of an upper classman to so act. He was also interested in history and so joined the Von Pastor History Academy. After class, Jim steps down onto the tennis court, smokes the ball across the nets with plenty of speed and with a prayer that it won ' t pass the base line. He says that his two trips to New York to watch B. C. play Fordham were the most enjoyable days he has spent as a Boston Collegian. After he is graduated, Jim will stay on the Heights to practice tennis and also to win a Master ' s degree. GEORGE JAMES COOGAN, Ph.B., 36 Pierce Avenue, Everett, was born February 29, 1912 in Everett. He was graduated from the Everett High School. There he was a member of the football squad and as a member showed his athletic ability in competition with those players who have made the name of Everett football famous. As an Everett basketball player, he was ex- pert in sinking the big round ball through the fringed hoop. And as an Everett baseball player he flashed around many a diamond. At Boston College he transferred his activities from the playing to the managerial side of sports. He now stands 5 feet, 9 inches, weighs 145 pounds. His ancestors were Irish and English and he can trace the roots of his family tree back to the year 1312. He is quietly proud that this family tree has had some very fine branches. His studies have been concentrated in the field of science. He intends to make use of the knowledge gained in pursuing courses at Medi- cal School. From what his classmates know of George so far they all feel certain that he will make not only a skilled and efficient, but also a conscientious physician. 44 Mm ,..i JOSEPH EDWARD COSGROVE, 72 Boundary Road, Maiden, was born in that fair city, January 27, 1913. In pursuit of a secondary education, Joe troUeyed daily to North Cam- bridge where he attended St. John the Evangelist High School. While a fourth-year man, his classmates recognized his leadership and voted him president of the senior class. He was a member of the school paper staff. With a good parochial training as a founda- tion, Joe matriculated at Boston College for an A.B. degree and to finish in glory the good start he had made. He soon pledged himself to the Sodality. He was a member of the Glee Club and during his last year, held membership in the Ethics and Economics Academies. He was likewise a staunch supporter of the Alpine Club, a unit in which he held high office. He is a tag-football player and enthusiast. Joe gives indication of expounding the adage that one is never fully dressed until he wears a smile. He comes from Irish-American stock which may explain it. He reaches 5 feet, 7 inches in height and balances the scales at 140. The memorable events during his college years were the two Fordham trips. At our calling he answers to Skipper, a name which bears a bit of significance with us. Joe ' s ambition is to be a politician. PHILIP ANTHONY COSTELLO, A,B., 17 Mer- rimac Street, North Andover, was born in that town on December 7, 1912. His blue eyes, light hair, 6 feet and 180 pounds always looks well at an Emmanuel Prom. He likes a good date and has a rather quiet reputation of being able to get one. Familiarly he is called either Cos or Phil. He went to Saint John ' s Prep where he played football and debated. His early interest in football has blossomed into a liking for all sports, though, as a son of Erin and therefor a descendant of Irish kings he is especially fond of horse racing. In fourth year he was a very active member of the Fulton. He also belonged to the Sodality and the Boston College Club of Lawrence. The outstanding event of his time at Boston College was the upset victory over Michigan State. His taste in litera- ture is shown by his liking for any one of Chesterton ' s books and for anything ever written by Francis Thompson. He feels very strongly about the necessity for world peace and is disgusted and dismayed at any act by any nation which upsets that peace. In addition to war he detests chemistry and the other sciences which plague the unfortunate un- dergraduate. He will seek his Master ' s degree at the Harvard Graduate School. His premier ambition is to write a book. 45 RANDYL PATRICK COURNOYER, Ph.B., River Street, East Jaffrey, New Hampshire, was born in that place on March 18, 1915. He was graduated from Conant High School, where he played baseball and basketball. He stands an even 6 feet, weights 160 pounds, has very dark hair and eyes, and a high colored complexion. He is French-Irish in descent. His friends call him either Ranny, Pat or John. In freshman he went out for football. But out of pity for the thousands seriously injured by the force of his flying furious tackles he decided to leave Boston College a football squad and so left the squad. In his first two years he was a member of the Sophomore-Freshman Sodality. In fourth year he was an interesting and interested member of the Biology Seminar. He was a notable figure at the class dances where he conducted himself like a much lionized social lion. The rigors and long hours of the Pre-Med course kept him from entering many extra-curricula activities. His remarks on professors, texts, and lectures were always witty to his classmates. In oratory periods his jocular humor enlivened even the most uninteresting of subjects. His classmates have found him as agreeable as they are certain his patients will find him wise, cool, efficient and conscientious. DANIEL CHARLES COURTNEY, A.B., 88 High Street, Maiden, was born in that city August 14, 1914. He was graduated from the Maiden High School where he was a member of the French Club. He stands 5 feet, IQl o inches, weighs 120 pounds, has brown hair, blue eyes, and a fair complexion. His fingers are subtly skilful on the bellows of an accordion as well as on the keys of a piano. His skill in the musical field has made his ear so sensitive that hot music scalds it. He likes all kinds of sports but especially football and baseball. During his college career he has been noted for his sociability. He is a member of the Alpine Club and played a slash- ing left end on that club ' s football team. Slim and lanky Dan slipped through the tiniest open- ing in the opponents ' line. His friends call him Kertney. He intends to get an M.A. degree from Teachers College and then, succeeding his old teachers, succeed in the teaching world. 46 JOHN ALOYSIUS CRONIN, A.B., 91 East Brookline St., was born on November 16, 1913, in Boston. Being a member of the first parish in the diocese, the Cathedral Church of the Holy Cross, it was only natural that he became a searcher of knowledge in her high school. At Cathedral he took an active part in activities and under the fostering care of the Sisters of St. Joseph developed into a good student. From there he came directly to the Towers. Together with Bill Stock, and Amby Flynn J. A. became a member of that harmonious quartet, the Campus Carolers, and their stir- ring notes were a source of enjoyment to their classmates. The Ethical Ought deeply in- terested John and a discussion of any moral topic always found him interested. Although a good listener this dark haired Senior always spoke with precision and accurateness when he became involved in a discussion of torts in the Marshall and White Law Academy. He takes delight in explaining the mistakes of some of the Boston Common philosophers and often engages in doings on Beacon Hill. In the evening he enjoys the strains of soothing music meanwhile filling the surrounding air with clouds of smoke from his faithful Bruyere. He lists the B. C. drubbing of Michigan State as the out- standing event in his four years at the Heights. In the future John will confine his activities to working and discussing ethical ideas and thoughts. FRANCIS MELVIN CURRAN, A.B., 42 Elson Rd., Waltham, was born in that same little dot on the map September 17, 1912. There he grew up to a height of 5 feet, IOV2 inches and a weight of 195 pounds; he is dark -haired and of a genial countenance. Like all loyal B. C. men he boasts Irish forbears. St. Mary ' s High of Waltham welcomed him and has not since re- gretted the choice, for he brought honor to the school through his debating and hockey playing. Then, deciding a college training was the thing and B. C. the place, he transferred his talents to University Heights, where he soon joined Lally ' s Hawk-eyed Allstars, and reversed the definition applied to the Sheriff of Nottingham, he of the eagle brain and the massive eye. Frank starred on the Frosh Hockey Team, and later became one of the pillars of the Pre-Med. Seminar. Outstanding among the events taking place in his college career he lists the achieve- ments of the Hockey Team of St. Mary ' s of Waltham which he coached for two years and the victory of the Curran-coached Greater Bos- ton Catholic High School All-Stars over Mt. St. Charles High of Woonsocket, which aggre- gation had won 44 out of their last 48 games. He likes to remember summers at tennis and lists as his most prominent like, Boston College. Frank intends to take up Pedagogy at Har- vard and teach Biology and Chemistry. 47 PAUL VINCENT CURRAN, A.B., 28 Baker Avenue, East Lexington, was born in Worcester, November 14, 1913. He was graduated from St. Clement ' s High where he was active in de- bating and dramatics. He stands 5 feet, 10 2 inches, weighs 150 pounds. His ancestors were Irish and Dutch. He is tall and slim with very fair skin, brown hair, and blue eyes. After class hours and for hours after every- one else is abed Paul is a D.X. hound. For listening to the radio and tuning it carefully for stations on the edge of nowhere is a favorite oc- cupation. His favorite hobby is a game of bridge, among his prominent likes he lists whistling, whistlers, and even his own contributions to the art. He dislikes snobs and all those who feel themselves above their fellows. His sweet tooth is very much pleased by candy. He enjoys the company of his friends and likes to take a ride out to the ball game. With all the vim, pep and vigor which has earned him the nickname Ginge he is determined to win something worth while out of life. In his first two years he was a member of the French and English Academies. He will never forget his Oral Examination in Junior. It is most likely that he will take an M.A. JOSEPH EDWARD DACEY, A.B., 134 Broad- way, Arlington, was born August 10, 1914, in Arlington. He left his native town when very young to enter the sacred halls of Boston Col- lege High School. This fact accounts for his vehemence in boosting Arlington. As a James Street boy he played hockey, debated, pondered over Greek and Latin. He received his diploma, hustled out to the Heights and enrolled with the Class of 1936. At Boston College hockey posi- tions are given to men who reach the Arena the earliest. After two trips to the Arena, during the black, dead hours of a December morning Joe was convinced that hockey should remain an exclusive Canadian game and he pursued hockey from a rink side seat at early evening games. He was a Sodalist for four years and took an active part in many a discussion anent Com- munism and Catholicism. Looking back over his college career he dis- covers that the most interesting single incident occurred the day Boston College ' s cohort walloped the Spartans from Michigan. The most interesting chain of incidents occurred dur- ing Sophomore under Father Thomas F. Quinn, where Joe struggled to keep his marks high, his America debt low. When he has closed his school books, he enjoys evolving many riddles, solving crossword puzzles and playing a devas- tating game of contract. After he attains renown in the world of Sociology, Joe hopes to sit down to a hand of contract, surprise the world by turning up thirteen quinine spades. 48 JOHN THOMAS DALEY, A.B., 16 Haslet Street, Roslindale, was born in New York, in 1915. He was graduated from the Boston Pub- lic Latin School where he took part in dramatics and was literally a literary member of the liter- ary club. He stands 6 feet, weighs 165 pounds, is tall and dark with a deep voice and a ready laugh. He is noted for his ability to talk and mix, but he won ' t say what or where or how or why he mixes. He is also renowned as an enthusiastic mem- ber of the University Club where he exercises in exercising his ability as a squash player. His only hobby is reading. He has read everything from John T. Flynn ' s Security Speculation to the latest serial in the Saturday Evening Post. He also likes to patronize the legitimate theater, even if it ' s a Punch and Judy show, so long as its legitimate. He has been a member of the History Academy and hopes to return when he has his Chair of History and give as good as he got. In Sophomore C he was the President. That year, with Father Gilleran as professor, will long remain in his memory. He intends to take his Ph.D. at Harvard. FRANCIS VINCENT DALY, A.B., 74 Summer Street, Stoughton, was born in that town, August 5, 1914. Fran attended Stoughton High School where he was engaged in all sports. His foot- ball ability as well as his baseball prowess is not denied. Each year he is a member of the respective team sponsored by the township. In the fall he is a pass-snaring end. Quite fre- quently, Fran was observed Monday mornings at the Heights with an occasional limp or bruise, the residue of a previous day ' s skirmish. In the spring his fancy (contrary to the popular ode) turned to the diamond where he was kept busy holding down the iriitial sack and slugging the pellet into the neighbor ' s back yard. At college, the long distance from Stoughton to Newton presented a handicap which would not allow Fran ' s making the football and baseball squads. However, as an Alpine member he sought solace in tag football. His own characteristically succinct description is: brown hair, gray eyes. He stands 5 feet, 11 inches, and gives his weight as 172. He considers the Cross game in ' 33 (remember we won) as the most memorable incident of his college years. He also enjoyed the Junior Prom. As for his vocation, he is desirous of doing some- thing in the field of social service. Fran possesses generalities when it ' s a question of tastes and dis- tastes. He likes free periods and a good argu- ment. His pet itch is Greek. He has ability as a singer while camping is his favorite hobby. Yes, Fran ' s the one who spells his name and omits tlie E . 49 JAMES HENRY DALTON, A.B., 14A Norwood Avenue, Somerville, was born August 9, 1910, in Somerville. He prepared at the Somerville High School and then really set right down to the task and prepared at the Boston College High School down on James Street somewhere. He now stands 5 feet, 6 inches, weighs 150 pounds. His hair is a light brown, his eyes are blue. His face is slim and serious but often covered by a very quiet smile. His ancestry was Irish. He is so fond of smoking that he has made a hobby of it. He enjoys nothing as often as he does the thin, rich smoke curling up from his cigarette or cigar. As he is so interested in his smoking he is very particular about his brands. Says the poorer ones don ' t make such ripe, rich, round rings. In college he has been one of those students who quietly wend their devious ways in peace and somehow come out at the end near the top of the heap. In Junior A his classmates came to know him as one who asked many a philosophical question and asked it in such a way that it showed thoughtful pondering on divers different topics. He intends to carry his abilities from college into the world of affairs and use them so that he will be a man of substance and importance. MARK DALTON, A.B., 424 Walden Street, Cambridge, was born in Cambridge, Mass., June 25, 1914. Saint Peter ' s School in Cambridge, where he met Mercer of The Stylus, gave him his start. At Boston College High School he won a medal for debating, became the president of the Bapst Debating Society in his Senior year, and was on the staff of the magazine and year book. As freshman at the college he was one of the five students to win honors, and won the Gargan medal in the Marquette prize debate. In rhetoric he was beadle to Father Gilleran, who once said I have never known a student who spent so much time standing up in class as Mark Dalton. He has been a prominent intercollegiate de- bater, managing editor of The Stylus, The Heights and the Sub Turri, and a participant in the Harrigan oratorical contest for three years. In his senior year he amazed everyone by bring- ing to the resources of the Boston College fenc- ing team one of the longest arms on the Atlantic seaboard. He likes golf and tennis, and When I Grow Too Old to Dream, sitting on the end of a wharf. And if he isn ' t President will probably be a senior partner in the firm of Ropes, Boyden, Gray, Perkins and Dalton. Some day, he will lie in the soft grass of some Italian hillside and have a good laugh with his old pal, Mercier. 50 LEONARD LINFIELD DAMON, JR., A.B., Atlantic Hill, North Cohasset, came to Boston College as a freshman. He was very quiet and retiring, devoting all his time to the acquisition of the Classics. As an upper classman, he for- sook his classical studies, and diligently copied reams of philosophical notes under the tutelage of Father Harding. He became a frequenter of the lunch room, where he aired his views on Scholasticism. Every week end he journeyed to his rustic dwelling in Hull, where in solitud e he could contemplate the many knotty problems of philosophy. But Lin was no bookworm. For with the advent of the social season, forth came he, and zealously attended every function. He was an excellent orator, and was especially persuasive when speaking of the glories of medieval French literature, or the merits of the movies. Lin, through the medium of the corresponding schools, was a proficient pianist, as well as violinist, singer, and tap dancer. Ever modest, he exhibited these talents only before the chosen few. One of his hobbies was watching his friends devour food in the college lunch rooms. He marvelled at the quantity some could consume. (He himself was disdainful of all gourmands.) Lin is going to return for an M.A., and thus equipped, he intends to usurp the Chair of His- tory at the Hingham High School. ANTHONY BENVENUTO D ' AMORE, A.B., 4 Lothrop Place, Boston, was born in the city December 25, 1914. He is one of those dis- tinguished Italian gentlemen from the Hub of the Universe, whose ancestors were artisans in sunny Italy. Tony has lived beneath a religious shadow, being tutored by the Sisters in grammar school and then matriculating at Boston College High School. While at the James Street institu- tion he was a member of the football squad and also played on the informal basketball teams, which incidentally, with golf, is his favorite sport. On his arrival at Boston College, Tony continued in the role of an athlete becoming a member of the track team and specializing in cross country running. As an entrant in the Harvard and West Point cross country meets, he gave promise of becoming a capable addition to Coach Ryder ' s squad, but couldn ' t be persuaded to run on the oval for long. You don ' t get anywhere, he claimed. Tony also joined in the activities of the So- dality, French Academy and Economics Acad- emy, displaying at these assemblies a fine oratorical ability. His ambition is to make use of this ability as a speaker, in our courts of law as a Catholic lawyer. We hope that this desire will be attained for Tony is capable and possessed of a fine sense of justice in meeting difficult problems. 51 JOSEPH FRANCIS DAVIS, A.B., 25 Foster Street, Brighton, was born June 7, 1915, in Newton. He has brown hair, blue eyes, stands 5 feet, 6 inches, weighs 132 pounds. There was nothing careless or flippant about Joe. Through- out his four years he combined the theoretical with the practical. In Junior and Senior he delved into the speculative sciences with joy. Each new thesis was like coming upon an un- discovered Pacific. In Junior, Joe spent hours in the pleasant atmosphere of the physics laboratory. He arranged the apparatus with great care, and attacked the formidable experi- ments with gusto. Yet Joe was by no means a bookish sort of chap, for he rooted loyally all sports. Even in zero weather, Joe would be at the games to lend his frozen help. The defeat of Fordham in Freshman was the outstanding day in Joe ' s college career. With facility he could quote the scores of any of the games played within the last four years. Joe was one of the many who daily trod the via sacra on the way to classes. In Freshman, he was wont to arrive about ten minutes late; in Sophomore, about five; and in Junior and Senior, thanks to some good Samaritan, he per- formed the difficult feat of arriving ahead of time. So after graduation, when Joe is a pros- perous business man, he has promised to provide a fleet of swift Austins for the poor unfortunates who, even as he, trudge their way from Lake Street to the College. JOSEPH GERARD DEACON, A.B., 256 Sixth Street, South Boston, was born in that section of the Bean City, September 3, 1914. It was only a few steps from Southie to Boston College High School where Joe participated in Elocution and Sodality work. The Jesuit foundation and influence served him well at Boston College. Although he stilled his oratory at the Heights, he lent his aid to the Sodality and the Catholic Action Programme. Diminutive Joe stands 5 feet 3 inches, and gives his weight as 140 pounds. He is some- what of a picture snatcher and delights in de- veloping his own snaps. He has many favorite reminiscences of college days, the foremost of these are the thrill of Freshman Day, 1932 and the climactic Holy Cross battle of 1933. Always a good listener, he enjoys giving an ear to the endeavors of a brilliant conversa- tionalist and the cheers of rabid baseball fans. He also takes keen interest in history. On the other hand he detests examinations in psych and Gloomy Guses. He hopes to enter the field of education as a history pedagogue. As an avocation, Joe seeks to improve his golf play. He believes in private ownership, a precept learned in his ethics class, and seeks to obtain exclusive rights to a mansion, a library, a baseball park, a dog, and afford (a Ford). 52 LOUIS JOSEPH DELAHOYDE, A.B., 36 Auk- land Street, Dorchester, was born in Boston, June 3, 1915. He studied at Boston Latin School, ever his pride and joy. At this institu- tion of secondary learning, he was active in the Radio and Glee Clubs. He also beat it in the Drum Corps. At Boston College, his love for public speaking and the French Romantics ex- erted itself in full force. Should Lou aspire to an Al Smith ' s heights, he is equipped with a strong foundation, due to his prominence, ora- torically and physically, in the Fulton Debating Society. He also pledged membership to the Sodality, Marquette, and French Academies. The education course has not discouraged him in his desire to be a pedagogue. He hopes to become a teacher of French and the Romance languages, after he has garnered an M.A. degree — possibly a Ph.D. — in the latter subject. He has had a year ' s experience in his vocation, hav- ing instructed the pupils at St. Columbkille ' s School in the art of forensics. Big Louie stands 6 feet, 3 inches and gets his money ' s worth from a penny scale as he watches the needle ascend to the 230 mark. He will always cherish the many friends and acquaintances made at the Heights. He delights in aquatic en- deavors. Besides Icthyology he lists boating and swimming among his hobbies. On terra firma, Lou is a tennis devotee, and belongs to the Savin Hill Tennis Club. In the interests of this organization, he has frequently canvassed the senior class widi dance tickets and chances. JOSEPH FRANCIS DELANEY, A.B., 164 Strathmore Road, Brighton, was born in Boston on January 22, 1915. He was graduated from the Dorchester High School. His slow stride down the hill home to Brighton has become very familiar to his class. He has brown hair, blue eyes, stands 5 feet, 6 inches, weighs 145 pounds. He has a sturdy frame and plays a rather good game of football. He also shoots a fair round of golf. A very quiet and unassuming person, his modesty may have kept him from athletic ambitions. Although he has always been well up in his studies, Joe seldom missed a class function whether it were a dance, banquet, or what have you. It is just such class spirit as Joe person- ifies that has helped to make our four years so pleasant and our class so successful. His only dislike, and a good natured one at that, is for a certain CoUitch situated in the heart of the Commonwealth, a rather obsure little school, he says, bearing the name of Holy Cross. Joe ' s ambition is to travel around die world without joining the navy and getting the govern- ment to pay for it. His further education will be gained at some Business Administration School. 53 BSei 1 1 Hppp Ml l . H ■ S%T 1 1 L 1 ■ 1 1 ■ B MMNSSk. -. iMk M ■ m d H ■ ■ ft ' -f H l 1 1 FRANK JOSEPH DELEAR, A.B., 19 Ditman Street, North Quincy, was born January 21, 1914, in Dorchester. He was graduated from the Quincy High School where he was the captain of the track team and a cross country runner. He stands 5 feet, 10 inches, weighs 130 pounds, has blue eyes, brown hair, and a slim, pleasant face. His ancestors were Swedish and Italian. The long stretch of summer weather with its attendant swimming and sun bathing is his favorite when he votes for a like. And in con- trast to this the week before the Orals looms up more sourly than ever. He likes to write and has such a talent for it that he was not only a members of the sports staff of The Heights but was allowed to conduct a column of his own, Cinder Dust, at the same time he maintained a high scholastic and athletic standing. He was one of the best trackmen in our class. As a sophomore he won the two-mile run at West Point. Aviation and drawing are his favorite hobbies. He wants to be a newspaperman and hopes to be a good enough Fourth Estater to own an airplane and travel. JOSEPH PATRICK DEMPSEY, A.B., 222 Lenox Street, Norwood, was born in that little dot on the map (if the map is big enough), November 17, 1911. Why he picked out Nor- wood instead of the thriving Metropolis can ' t be ascertained. Maybe he was going on the idea that it was better to be a big frog in a little puddle rather than the same size frog in a pond. But even in the great lake that is Boston College Joe has been a fairly large sized frog, insofar as regular class affairs are concerned. His ancestry is Irish, but he didn ' t think to claim any Irish kings in the family line. He stretches 5 feet, 10 inches long, weighs 160 pounds. His hair is black, his eyes are green. He has been a regular member of the So- dality, but fell from grace so far as to allow the wily Pete Alukonis to trick him into attending the Law Academy. He is intensely interested in two hobbies, base- ball and aviation, but his future career will be in neither. For Tiger Jack intends to go to the Graduate School. 54 PASCHAL JOHN DiMASI, A.B., 181 Salem Street, Boston, was born December 27, 1913, in Boston. He wended his way to Boston College High School, debated for the Loyola debating society, played football for one year. Without any hesitation he accepted his diploma, sped out to the Heights with the army of James Street boys. He found freshman like a fifth year at the High School, but sophomore year was different. Under Fr. Thos. J. Quinn he learned to appreci- ate the delicate shade of Cicero ' s words, to scan between the lines of Shakespeare ' s Hamlet. In junior he began his pre-medical studies, spent hours over Gray ' s Anatomy, finally discovered that Tarzan ' s was superior to Gray ' s. During his first two years at the Collegium Pat was a member of the Dante Academy and read two papers to other members. In sopho- more he spent a little time at the Von Pastor His- tory Academy, but answered the call of his country and worked as a clerk in the post office. Quite often he looks back over his college days, remembers the Michigan State game as the most important for him. When he graduates he will spend a few years at medical school, then begin the thankless task of diagnosing the ills of the world. JOHN FRANCIS DiNAPOLI, A.B., 9 Summer Street, Woburn, came into existence in Woburn on December 2, 1912. John already carries himself with a portly dignity. For he stands about 6 feet tall and weighing in the neighbor- hood of 210 pounds. John graduated from Woburn High School where he achieved success as a scholar . Here on the Heights, John ' s extra-curricular activities consisted of active participation in the Sodality, the French Academy, and the History Academy. After classes almost daily he could be found working in the library at the main desk in Gar- gan Hall. He despatched his duties here in the same manner in which he did everything else, good-naturedly and efficiently. Naturally enough John doesn ' t as yet know what the future holds in store for him and as yet is undecided upon the career that he pursue. At present he has no plans in store for future education. His splendid class spirit and his personal enthusiasm which can always be drawn on for a worthy cause are proven by the fact that he was the first one to pay entirely for his copy of the Sub Turri. CHARLES JAMES DOLAN, A.B., 22 Hancock Street, Winchester, was born in that town April 4, 1915. He was graduated from the Winchester High School where he took part in dramatics and in every sport the school offered. He stands 5 feet, 9 inches, weighs 172 pounds, has a light complexion, and is fairly stout. His Irish ances- tors included a number of great army leaders. At the Heights he has been a member of the So- dality and the Fulton and President of the Spanish Academy, He takes an active interest in sports. He likes to travel. Unnecessary rules and regulations grate on his nerves, but he soothes them by a steady reading of good literature and especially by his fascination with Shakespeare. His friends call him Charlie or Red. Though he is as anxious as any to graduate and plunge into the world of affairs, before he leaves he would like to know when Boston Col- lege is going to enlarge. He intends to go to the Georgetown Law School, tear through the course there and take over a senior partnership in Ropes, Boyden, Gray, and Perkins. DENNIS LEO DOOLEY, A.B., 56 Francis Street, Roxbury, was born in Boston, on April 3, 1915. He stands 5 feet, 7 inches, weighs 133 pounds, has brown hair and brown eyes. He was graduated from Boston College High School where he played hockey. At Boston College he has been a member of the Glee Club besides ap- pearing in two of the productions of the Drama- tics Society. He is known to his intimates as Den or Denny. Besides his vocal ability which put him in the Glee Club he is a talented violinist. He is very fond of music of any sort, likes books and is very keen for a nice date. He wants to travel and would not min d a few pleasant adventures in his travels. But deep sea fishing is ruled out of his activities and, silly symphonies are banned from his amusements. He likes any sort of athletics but especially hockey and baseball. The memories which he is certain will linger in his mind are those of the Fordham trip in Sophomore and a num- ber of incidents, humorous and otherwise, in class. He is modest, but has a free and fanci- ful enough flow of words to be both affable and witty. Always methodical in his purposes, he intends to go to a graduate school. 56 ROBERT RICHARD DOONAN, Ph.B., 57 Fellsway West, Maiden, was born on July 31, 1911, in Maiden. He stands 5 feet, 7 inches, weighs 145 pounds, is French-Irish in descent. He attended Maiden High and St. Philip ' s Academy. In high school he was in the glee club and on the yearbook staff. Bob served the independent hockey team as assistant manager for two years. When hockey was officially rec- ognized in his junior year he became the first junior manager of a major sport since 1919, and in Senior he became the only student in recent years to manage a major sport for more than one season. He considers the hockey team trips among the most pleasant memories of his undergraduate days, despite the responsibilities that he was forced to shoulder as manager. Bob takes great pleasure in the rise of hockey during his regime and considers last year ' s de- feat of Dartmouth and this year ' s tie with Princeton as the outstanding incidents in its de- velopment. Nor will he forget the practice ses- sions in the Arena in the wee small hours of the morning, sometimes even before dawn, and always hoped for the day when hockey would be a recognized sport and these difficuhies re- moved. Bob has served in many roles during his regime as manager, but in none so exciting as the dash from Providence up to Walpole and back again with three stranded members of the hockey team (Walsh, Murphy and Moore), while the game with Brown was delayed for twenty minutes. He was also a member of the Sodality for two years. JOHN JOSEPH DOWNEY, B.S., 306 Fuhon Street, Medford, entered Boston College from Medford High School. Johnnie has been out- standing for his blonde hair, fine taste in modern clothes, ever present smile and excellent track record. He chose the difficult B.S. course and specialized in Biology. In track, John has greatly aided in maintaining the high record of Boston College in this sport. Johnnie possessed in addition to his scholastic and athletic abilities a captivating and pleasant personality. Whether the occasion was a difficuh exam, the long hours of laboratory study necessitated by his course, constant daily practice at track, or the more pleasant presence of his company, John ' s smiling personality persisted. Through this enviable possession he gained numerous true friends. As a loyal supporter of Boston Col- lege attractions few classmates may be said to surpass him, in constant interest in college activi- ties. John has a firm belief in the maxim Do it now, and in applying this principle with his innate desire to do things quickly, he has at- tained great admiration from his classmates. And so we all believe that the objects of his fu- ture pursuits whatever they may be shall be attained, and that happiness and success shall be his accordingly. 57 EDWARD FRANCIS DRISCOLL, A.B., 42 Beach Street, Woburn, stands 5 feet, Ql o inches, weighs 189 pounds. Roxbury, Massachusetts, has long been noted for a number of things, chief among these to the Driscoll family is the fact that Edward was born there on October 23, 1911. At an early age, however, Edward moved to Woburn, wherein he has dwelt ever since, and eventually found himself in Woburn High School. Here Eddie gained considerable dis- tinction in lines of athletic endeavor. His coaches in football, baseball, tennis, and hockey still remember his achievements in 1931, the year of his graduation. In the same year, he enrolled at St. Anselm ' s Prep School. While there he made what he considers most important friendships. Jake says his associations with Tim Ready and Pat Avery can only end in death. September, 1932, found Edward Driscoll among the matriculating class at Boston College. At the Heights he has carried on with the same zeal which has characterized his life to date. A sophomore in 1933 he was chosen as an All Northern halfback by the Associated Press. In 1935, no Boston College man will ever forget his sensational touchdown for the Maroon and Gold against Michigan State. It was the first one on that memorable afternoon, and Jake certainly put Boston College in that football game. It may seem redundant to say that the men of ' 36 like and respect Edward Driscoll. THOMAS ARTHUR DUFFY, A.B., 15 Russell Road, Wellesley, was born June 29, 1913, in Dorchester. He was graduated from the Wellesley High School, where he was a very prominent student as a student councillor, a baseball player, a member of the photographic committee, member of many clubs. He stands 5 feet, 6 inches, weighs 125 pounds, even crammed with Ethics and Psychology for the Orals. His hair is a light brown, his eyes are blue. He has a quiet smile and a soft, slow voice. For four years he was a member of the So- dality and was very much interested in its activi- ties. For two years he was a member of the Fulton and spoke softly but firmly on many im- portant issues. His only hobby is to watch sports, to follow them carefully, and to partici- pate himself whenever he can. In his last year he was a member of the newly founded Law Academy. His interest in this organization was significant for he intends to go to Law School and then to practice law. 58 SIDNEY DUNN, JR., A.B., 31 Lyndhurst Avenue, Dorchester, was born April 13, 1914, in Boston. His height is 5 feet, 10 inches, weighs 172 pounds. He attended Boston Latin School before entering the College of Arts and Sciences. While at Latin School, Torchy debated and was one of the outstanding backfield stars in the High School League. Sid is going to law school next autumn. For two years he was a member of the Fulton Debating Society. In Senior year his ingenuity as a fiscal expert won him the office of Treasurer. Torchy was always a stable and industrious worker in his studies, cultivating a great interest in law and philos- ophy. Sid worked with diligence as Chairman of the Senior Philomatheia Ball, which was the most successful so far in the annals of Boston College. He had the honor of leading the grand march at this Ball. In his Freshman and Junior years, Sidney sang in the Glee Club. He spent many spare moments in the stately halls of the Law Academy, and he was also affiliated with the Sub Turri in a business capacity. The two Fordham trips found great favor with Sid, but these pale into insignificance when compared with attending Regis proms and extolling Regis as the finest women ' s college in the United States. JOSEPH JUSTIN DWYER, B.S., 124 Salem Street, Lawrence, prepared at Lawrence High School before entering Boston College. In spite of the fact that Joe has for four years com- muted daily from Lawrence his successful mas- tery of an advanced study in Chemistry, while a participant in the B.S. course, has in no man- ner been affected. His scholastic endeavors extended still further as a member of The Knights of the Test Tube, Sodality and Chemistry Seminar; in which extra- curricular activities his sincere effort aided in their success. While in the vicinity of the rotunda one would invariably find Murph and Joe in a consultation, the nature of which would never become appropriately understood since it inevitably applied to Joe ' s famous and personally defended city. His personality was indeed envied by many; a reserved nature with often a touch of humor and yet a sincerity that explains the extensive friends with whom he became associated while at Bos- ton College. In future years, his ambition to master an advanced course in Chemistry will be successfully fulfilled. This is the belief of all who know him. As a classmate, he has displayed an earnest and industrious nature in the rapid and skillful completion of all requirements, and tliis ability supplemented by his fine, personal appearance assure for Joe future success. 59 WILLIAM J. ELLIS, B.S., Beacon Street, Matta- poisett, entered Boston College after graduating from Fairhaven High School. Bill while at college, truly amazed all his classmates due to his phenomenal knowledge as regards baseball. When in the vicinity of the rotunda one would constantly find Bill ready to argue the cause of the Braves against several opponents. Apart from this persistent desire to talk baseball; all class members recognized in Bill a character sur- passed by none, a character true in nature, self- sacrificing and inspiring in form. As a scholar he chose the B. S. course special- izing in biology and successfuly completed all requirements. While primarily a scientist, his education was broadly extended through utiliz- ing the resources of the library, and many a tale concerning the Emerald Isle he told. As a sup- porter of College traditions hardly a classmate can be said to surpass him. Coming years may serve as a medium for his ambition to enter social service or teaching as a profession; and whatever his choice may be, his numerous friends at Boston College feel certain that life possesses much to be gained for Bill. VINCENT RICHARD ESPOSITO, 193 North Street, Boston, entered Boston College from English High School. Vin ' s daily departure from the science building at any time from four to five-thirty is testimony of his success as a stu- dent of Biology. As a member in the B.S. course, Espo, as he is more popularly known, has attained such outstanding grades in all his courses of study that his recognition as a scholar followed naturally by all members of our class. His active membership in the Sodality and Pre-medical Academy together with his construc- tive and cooperative support has done much towards making the activities of these societies a success. While in class and about the college Espo was always to be found with Bill Proven- zano. In spite of his reserved and modest person- ality, Espo nevertheless possessed numerous friends and the generous manner in which he constantly aided others was responsible to a great extent for the real respect which all his classmates had for him. All of Vin ' s friends are confident that his in- clination for Medical School will be attained if so desired and that later years will find him firmly established as a prominent member in that pursuit of life which occupies his efforts. 60 JOHN EDWARD FAHEY, A.B., 45 Kenmere Road, Medford, was born April 4, 1915, in East Boston. It was from Medford, however, that John made his daily round trip to Boston Col- lege High School. While there Hop debated, carried a pigskin, chased a puck, and won ap- plause for his ability as a thespian. On gradu- ating he selected Boston College as his Alma Mater. As a Freshman, he tried his skill at football, circled the track daily under the keen eye of Jack Ryder. During his four years on the Heights he was a Sodalist, but has rarely tested his dramatic or oratorical talents. The most enjoyable times of his college life were spent in Baltimore to see the Eagle and the Green Terror; and on the Sidewalks of New York, after the B. C. Eagle played the Ford- ham Ram. Metropolitan Theatre ranks number one like with Hop, and he is hungrily awaiting the chance to yodel behind a popular song sheet before some unsuspecting and docile strangers. He numbers among his friends no one who talks too much or wears spats. He is still a bit doubt- ful about the future, but after debiting things and crediting things, he finds that an M.B.A. wrested from Harvard Business School will fit neatly beside the A.B. he has obtained from Boston College. WARREN GERARD FAY, A.B., 24 NottinghiU Road, Brighton, has been an ardent devotee of the mighty game of bridge at Boston College and many a lively session in the lunchroom has heard him expounding the virtues of Culbertson. A native of Dorchester, where he was born on November 30, 1914, Warren has been an active figure at the Heights since his matriculation from Boston English High School. He has deep memories of several excursions which he made into enemy territory at Baltimore and New York, where the enemy in the form of Western Maryland and Fordham scalped the hapless Eagles. Warren has vivid remembrance of these never to be forgotten sojourns, and can ' t be restrained from expostulating on the super- iority of all Boston College teams over all other teams, i.e.. Western Maryland and Fordham. Warren has a rare sense of humor and an acute philosophical mind. His chosen field, Biology, has rather restricted his time for extra- curricular activities. His favorite hobby is fly- ing — liable to drop in any day. 61 WILLIAM JAMES FENLON, Ph.B., 39 Dudley Street, Haverhill, was born in that city on September 30, 1912. 13 is reputed to be an unlucky number, but to Boston College, that numeral on the maroon jersey of an energetic young quarterback meant Bill Fenlon. Bill was was one of the best sparkplugs in the Boston backfield. Of medium build, boundless energy and a fighting spirit, Bill inspired his team. Powerhouse today presents a picture of a well- built youth having a very chubby face (his own words) and a very dark beard. His early high school education found him president of his junior and senior classes at St. James High School and also proved his debat- ing ability. From St. James, Billy went to St. John ' s Prep School, where he played a con- sistently fine game as backfield general. At B. C. Bill has enlivened the hilarious Athletic As- sociation presentations, delved into the mysteries of radio and has also become involved in the intricacies of stocks and bonds, in the Economics Academy. Sophomore oratory. Golf Team, and Tennis Team also engaged the versatile Bill. Law School is his next goal, then national politics. GEORGE RAPHAEL FINN, A.B., 311 Fair- mont Street, Hyde Park, after twenty-one years in this world has risen to a height of six feet and a weight of 165 pounds. George is a grad- uate of Boston College High, where he was a member of the track team, and debating so- ciety. Here at the Heights he has taken an active part in the Glee Club, H. S. Academy and also the Spanish and History Academies. From his Irish ancestors George has inherited a very fair complexion and deep set eyes which are usually twinkling with some mischief, much to the discomfort of the Professors. Huck as he is sometimes called, has a penchant for using high sounding language to say nothing, and he is said to have unusual ability as a dancer, golfer, and musician. Although all evidence is to the contrary, George maintains that he dislikes female dames. The Fordham trip, together with the formation of the H. S. Academy and the Junior year under the stern eye of Fr. Russell Sullivan, S.J., are among the most memorable events in George ' s college life. Huck desires to become prominent in the wool business, the knowledge of which he intends to obtain at Lowell Tech. 62 JOSEPH LAWLESS FITZGERALD, A.B., 54 Riverview Road, Brighton, was born November 3, 1914, in Dulutli, Minnesota. He was gradu- ated from the Boston Public Latin School, where he played baseball, swam, took part in drama- tics. He now stands 6 feet, 1 inch, is tall, dark, slender and red-cheeked. His ancestry was Irish and English. He weighs 160 pounds. Smooth music soothes, good plays delight. Every sort of outdoor and indoor sport stirs him. Psychology he disliked. He was on the Sophomore Prom Committee, and a member of The Heights Staff. The most memorable event in his college career was the Boston College victory over Fordham in our first year. Fitz intends to do things in big business and has trained himself by handling the jewelry of the class in his capacity as Chairman of the Ring Committee. Joe learned many things in this position. He learned to be beyond finding whenever it so pleased him, and became so clever at this that not even John Lynch would find him save when Joe finally allowed it. Joe is one of the few inembers of the class who is at home in several cities. He talks about running out to Great Neck and Mamaroneck as readily as he talks of going to Dorchester. His friends have made much use of this quality by seeking the good offices of Joe in getting dates in the canyons of New York. MAURICE EDWARD FITZGERALD, A.B., 8 Quinlan Street, Milford, was born December 15, 1913, in Milford. He went to St. Mary ' s Acad- emy in his native village, played football and baseball, argued with Academy debaters, won the applause of the entire hamlet as an actor. As a Freshman at Boston College he ran around the gridiron, lolled about the diamond, expended most of his energy in the Marquette Debating So- ciety. When he reached Sophomore, and be- came varsit y timber, he forgot about athletics, concentrated on argumentation with Marquet- teers. In Junior he found the weight of America (the National Catholic Weekly) on his shoulders, sought to balance America s budget, by joining the Economics Academy, where he not only bal- anced his accounts but found himself elected its president. Fitzie was a little discouraged to return in Senior to find his academy defunct and extinct, but his exciting practice of racing State Troopers on the way to school, and his eulogies in the Fulton Debating Society, soon made him forget about Economy. He was a very vigorous parti- cipant in the Fulton Prize Debate. He enjoys relaxation in sport and art. After he receives his degree, ex-President Fitzgerald will spend his summer figuring out whether law or business is the best field for a head man. 63 EDWARD LEO FITZMAURICE, A.B., 32 Put- nam Avenue, Cambridge, was born in that city in 1914. After Boston College High School, he came to Boston College and before the end of his sophomore year he was elected circulation manager of both The Heights and The Stylus, The Baron has been active in debating for four years. He became an associate editor of The Heights this year, and was re-elected circulation manager of The Stylus. He has become (in) famous [sic] at Boston College for his automobile driving. Even Mark Dalton has had to remove his pipe from his throat, and gasp weakly, Fitz, I ' ll admit that I don ' t want to be late, but I value my life far more. The Baron intends to study law next year, and carry on the Kerry Corner tradition for providing the leading barristers in the state and nation. He weighs 160, has reddish brown hair and a distinct preference for cigars. In the summer, he wears a straw hat and has a habit of prowling around the library building on warm evenings. He made the trip to the Spring- field game. Springfield still remembers him. JOHN JOSEPH FIUMARO, A.B., 93 North- hampton Street, Roxbury, was admitted to mem- bership in human society on April 21, 1914 in Boston. He stands 5 feet, 3 inches, weighs 125 pounds, has a tremendous smile, and is very easy to like. Johnny attended Roxbury mem- orial High School, whence he directed his search for knowledge to the Heights. His spare time he has always devoted to the study of the violin and is proficient at playing the instrument. Perhaps some day Johnny will become a celebrated maestro and further his mastery of the violin in the sunny climes of his forbears. His hobbies are reading good books, swimming, dancing, and bridge-playing. In the good old days before bridge was taboo in the Robin Hood Room, Johnny was a familiar sight playing his favorite game with the other mem- bers of Fiumaro ' s Bridge and Polo Club. However, a more familiar sight during our four years sojourn upon Chestnut Hill was to see Fiumaro, Flynn, and Flaherty, the three in- separable F ' s, trudging about hither and thither. It is a well-established tradition that one had only to spot Paul Flaherty and he could be safe in assuming that Johnny was some- where near. In fact, he was so busy shadowing and giving vent to his favorite expressions, So what and Sew buttons that he had little time for anything else, although he does remember the Freshman Banquet with a thrill. 64 PAUL FREDERICK FLAHERTY, A.B., 79 Gar- field Avenue, Woburn, stands 6 feet, weighs 178 pounds, was born in Woburn October 12, 1913. He has since been an athlete and a leader. At Woburn High School, Paul was a team mate of Eddie Driscoll in football, baseball, basket- ball and hockey. But Paul journeyed to Dan- vers to be tutored under the Xaverian Brothers at St. John ' s Prep while Eddie went to St. An- selm ' s. The fall of 1932 found Paul Flaherty 1. h. b. on the freshman line-up in the annual H. C. - B. C. tilt. He did not fail to live up to advance notices, for three years of Varsity foot- ball were well rewarded when Paul received the only All-American official certificate awarded at Boston College for the 1935 season. Some of us still bear strained larynxes from cheering his efforts in the great Michigan State Victory. The Faculty speaks highly of him as a quietly efficient student. The Sodality Officers depend upon him as a serious and persuading speaker. The Socialites remember Paul as an active mem- ber of the Philomatheia Ball Committee which did so much to enhance the Maroon and Gold ' s social repute. Messrs. Carroll, Flynn and Ful- chino enjoy his wit. All like the ring ability he has shown in the Irish-American bouts. Prof. Paul Flaherty is his goal. JOHN WILLIAM FLAVIN, A.B., 229 Park Street, Dorchester, was born in that section of Boston on July 16, 1914. He stands 5 feet, 10 inches, weighs 135 pounds, has brown hair, hazel eyes, a slim, intelligent face. He was graduated from the Boston Latin School where he was one of the outstanding stu- dents of his class where he received honors so regularly that they were almost part of his pre- scribed course. On the Heights Jack has main- tained high scholastic ratings. Each year in his quiet way he has received honors. Father Low in particular appreciated his quiet ability. In his first two years and in his last he was a member of the Sodality. In sophomore he was a trackman. In junior and senior he was a library assistant. Father Feeney ' s exclusive Evidences Guild ranked him among the mem- bers. During his last year he had the fate of joining Rollo Killion ' s riding crew. The Eastern Massachusetts motto — Ride all day for a dol- lar became the password for Rollo ' s Rollick- ing Crew. Next autumn he intends to enter the Boston Teachers College preparatory to teach- ing. 65 CHARLES DONALD FLOYD, A.B., 24 Ransom Road, Brighton, was bom November 26, 1914. As a young lad he went to Mission High School, where he played football and hockey, debated, dramatized. As soon as he entered Boston Col- lege, he joined the Marquette Debating Society, finished his Freshman and Sophomore forensic years in the Prize Debates. His Junior and Senior Debating days were spent in the Fulton. He recalled his high school dramatic talents, and made audiences weep and laugh as he grimaced and shouted before the footlights. With the Senior Sodality he sped over to New York to attend a Convention in December, 1934. As he turns back the pages of his college career he finds that for him the most notable events were two: first, Ed Three Point Kelley ' s field goal which sheared the Fordham Ram in 1932; secondly, Ray Noble ' s music at Rockefeller Center after the Eagle-Ram clash last Autumn. Don dislikes Amateur Hours, but enjoys about everything else, from Father J. F. X. Murphy ' s encyclopedic lectures on history to Fats Waller ' s jungle interpretations on pianos. He feels that an A.B. from Boston College will meet every emergency, plans to capitalize every em- ergency as a star newspaper reporter. If enough B. C. boys will bite dogs and make news for Don, he figures that three or four years will be sufficient to find an empty city editor ' s chair. AMBROSE BENEDICT FLYNN, A.B., 199 Beaver Street, Framingham, was born Septem- ber 11, 1912 in Sherborn. Amby went to Sher- born High School, where he gained fame as an actor, a singer, a pianist. He never left the little town of Sherborn, his address was changed ipso facto when his native village was swallowed up by Framingham. From there he went to B. C. High (Post-Graduate) and he matriculated at Boston College in 1932. Although he knew many classmates, few classmates really knew him, and it was not until the rich tenor voice of Caruso Flynn assailed Sophomore Banqueteers that he was discovered. From that time on, Amby ' s notes aided the loud-sounding Glee Club, and on one or two occasions he lent his talents to Sodality Programs. Ambrose did not confine his talents to Uni- versity Heights; Framingham ' s church organs have responded to his nimble fingers, and in contrast, Framingham ' s dance halls have rocked and swayed as he hammered away at the ivor- ies. Often Amby pushes aside notes and lyrics and bars, journeys to the Library and engages in a metaphysical disputation with Classmate King and Classmate Killion; when either mentions trigonometry, physics or other such tilings. Phil- osopher Flynn makes a wry face, flees back to the hills of Framingham. On receiving his de- gree, Amby expects to assume the title of pro- fessor and possibly to lead the youth of Sherborn in a revolt against despotic, domineering Fram- ingham. 66 ANTHONY PATRICK FLYNN, A.B., 3 Hillside Avenue, Forest Hills, was born May 13, 1915. Tony attended both St. Thomas High School and English. He transferred his endeavors to Uni- versity Heights in the fall of ' 32. Pasquale became an active member of the Sodality and during his Junior-Senior years participated in the travelling lectures of that organization. He delighted in speaking to huge congregations. However, the refreshment aftermath was more than doubly enjoyed. Always a candidate for the rostrum, Tony joined Fulton and was fre- quently observed at its meetings. He also pledged membership to the Alpine Club. Franchot stands 6 feet and weighs 165. Tony used to shout Pay-pah at Sullivan Square. Here he has built up a reputable business in spite of his refusal to change five dollar bills. He was one of the chief instigators in the vogue for brightly illuminated socks. His imitations of Fr. Coughlin, Professor Doyle and other cel- ebrities are unique. He enjoyed the last Ford- ham trip — and who wouldn ' t if one appointed himself chaperon of two pretty damsels? He was a stern supervisor of their social activities and would not allow their being introduced to the rest of the boys. JOHN IGNATIUS FOLEY, A.B., 174 High Street, Brookline, was born in Roxbury, on November 10, 1915. He graduated from St. Mary ' s High School, Brookline, where he par- ticipated in dramatics, music, and debating and writing. He is 5 feet, 7 inches, weighs 170 pounds, has blue eyes, and wavy dark brown hair. In Senior he was President of the Musical Clubs, Vice-President of the Greek Academy, Secretary of the Fulton Debating Society, a member of the Student Council and the Sub TuRRi staff, and a member of the advisory board of the Senior Sodality as well as its organist and tenor soloist. He was Secretary of the Marquette Debating Society in sophomore and a member of the Dante Academy in junior. He was a Fulton and Sodality lecturer and intercollegiate de- bater. His hobbies are music, tennis, Greek and Roman antiquities. Doesn ' t like math. The outstanding events in his college life were his attainment of Summa Cum Laude honors in Sophomore, liis famous lecture on Juvenal be- fore the Latin Elective Class, his New York trips with the Musical Clubs, and his appearance as tenor soloist this year in the annual program of the French Academy. 67 EDWARD WESLEY GEORGE FORAN, A.B., 149 Greenfield Road, Mattapan, was born Jan- uary 6, 1912 in Hartford, Connecticut. His ancestors were kings of Ireland. He was grad- uated from the Boston Latin School, where he took part in many varied activities. For two and a half memorable years he was at Holy Cross, where he roomed with Edraond Benard, the debater. He stands 5 feet, 10 inches, weighs 180 pounds. He is of medium height, stocky, light- haired, with a beaming smile. His affability is perhaps his most outstanding characteristic. At the Heights he soon became known for his abil- ity to mix, to talk, to talk smilingly, and to talk well. Behind the affability there is a very shrewd discernment of many of the problems of life and a preparation to meet thein. His social ability is manifested in his mastery of bridge and his dominance of dances. Any good show pleases him. Sociology was also pleasant. He always likes to talk about those boys from Milford, that trip to Melrose, and his expeditions with Gerry Burke. He is sure that he is going to miss Joe Nolan ' s car. His friends call him Lucky . JOHN VINCENT FORREST, B.S., 33 Central Street, Somerville, entered Boston College from Somerville High School. His entrance and participation in the B. S. course was a blessing for all others, for the long and often tedious scientific study was spontaneously enlightened through Jack ' s unique and brilliant humor. While at Boston College, Jack has actively par- ticipated in numerous extra-curricular activities — as a member of the band for four years and as a participant in the Pre-Medical Academy and Sodality. If one sought Jack, the surest method would be to locate a crowd, amongst whom he would not infrequently be found engrossed in some discussion of an advanced and serious nature during which his beliefs were impressed by his added unique humor. Jack also possessed so keen a mind as to en- able him to successfully complete the Pre- Medical course. No mere division of capability adequately describes his attainments. He is a student of music, a persuasive speaker, brilliant humorist and he holds a firm belief in his con- victions and is adept in either classical or scientific study. While superficially one might judge him as carefree, there is hidden beneath this personality a forging ambition to conquer life, for which desire his every classmate and friend wish him attending fortune and happi- 08 ALBERT RALPH FULCHINO, A.B., 14 Pros- pect Avenue, Revere, was born at Revere on November 3, 1913. He stands about 5 feet, 8 inches and weighs nearly 160 pounds. He may best be described as having black wavy hair, a medium complexion, and brown eyes, together with a pleasant disposition. At Revere High Al played baseball, basketball, and tennis, and he did some debating for good measure. Al has the knack of being a writer of parodies, a talent which if developed may lead to a permanent occupation for Al. His hobbies are reading old newspapers and collecting unusual books of dis- tinction. Besides these hobbies he has a keen delight for dancing and good motion pictures, but dislikes street cars, moreover, his dislikes go even farther and include a distaste for caf- eterias. In college Al was kept busy working after classes in the library but managed to find time to belong to the Sodality, the Ethics Academy, and the Italian club. Al kept up in his studies and once even received a grade of 99%, an event which he will never forget. It is Al ' s fondest dream to become the editor of a news- paper such as the far-famed Neiv York Times some day. Ahhough he may never quite attain that lofty goal, it is safe to predict more than a measure of success for him in the fertile field of journalism. Al ' s future education will be gained at Columbia University School of Journalism. EDWARD ARTHUR FURBUSH, JR., Ph.B., 50 Waverly Oaks Road, Waltham, was born in Waltham, July 18, 1912. He attended Waltham High School, where he starred in football, hoc- key and golf. When the Fall of 1932 rolled around, he found himself enrolled as a renowned athlete on the Heights. He had little trouble winning places on the Freshman football and golf teams; the following year he repeated this performance on the varsity teams. One of his biggest thrills came that year when he snagged a long pass from the stratosphere to win the Holy Cross fracas. He did not rest on his laurels, but added more in the next two years of varsity competition as a hard driving end and a hard driving golfster. Ed used his executive a bility as a member of the Junior Promenade Committee and as Chair- man of the Senior Ring Committee. He enjoys watching stage plays, collecting noted speeches and reading huge tomes on History and Govern- ment. During Senior he took notes in the Pre- law course, joined the intellectual Marshall and White Law Academy, where he expatiated on the tricks of England ' s Common Law. After Ed receives his degree, he will sail across the Charles River, spend three years in Harvard Law School behind a volume of Blackstone, emerge with an LL.B., or perhaps, a Doctorate in Jurisprudence. Should he receive die latter he will accept a position on the bench of the U. S. Supreme Court, otherwise Barrister Fur- bush will win renown as an audiority on foot- ball rings and constitutional law. 69 EDWARD PAUL GALLIGAN, Ph.B., 22 Whittier Street, Cambi ' idge, was born August 18, 1913, in Cambridge. He went to Rindge Tech, where he won renown in football, baseball and basketball. He claims, in an almost silent voice, that he won applause as a singer in the school Glee Club. Shortly after he had reached the Heights, he donned his moleskins and won a place on the Freshman Eleven. When Spring approached, he threw a baseball once or twice, decided he was in perfect form, won many a game for the struggling first year Nine. In Sophomore he discovered that a varsity berth was not much more difficult to win than a Freshman position. After this discovery, he romped around the Heights for three years as a first string gridster and a dependable twirler. Ted was also President of the Student Athletic Association, and from his executive offices, he sent messages to himself on the field, thus ac- complished the impossible by telling himself what to do. He spent the winter sinking baskets under the colors of an independent organization. He enjoys the B. C. actors, attends most Fulton intercollegiate debates. He says he will remem- ber best the friends he has made on the Heights. Ted will stay another year at Boston College, to win a Master ' s degree; after that he will teach and coach future B. C. stars at some high school. THOMAS GUY GARDNER, A.B., 105 Waban Hill Road, Newton, was born in Chicago, 111. March 26, 1915. Since that time he has lived also in San Francisco and Denver. He remem- bers San Francisco ' s fogs with dislike. He was graduated from the Boston Public Latin School. He stands 6 feet, weighs 175 pounds. His hair is light and he fears that it is often disreputable in appearance. His eyes are blue and can take on a sharp look when necessary. His ancestry was Scotch. His friends call him T. G. . Tom is an expert amateur photographer. Some of his pictures are considered among the finest ever taken at the college. One was a pic- ture of Fr. Low ' s class in full session. He also posed for that other expert photographer, Frank larrabino, in a precarious spot up in the tower of the Administration building. In addition to photography minor sports constitute his hob- bies. He dislikes the macaroni in the Cafeteria as heartily as he likes the Class of 1936, but still remembers vividly the day in Freshman he tried to tackle Frank Maloney. In college he has been a member of the Junior Prom Committee and President of the Pre-med Seminar. On The Heights staff he so distinguished himself that he was elected Business Manager. Next year he will enter the Tufts Medical School. 70 FREDERICK JOSEPH GARRITY, 71 Nonan- tum Street, Brighton, was born in Melrose on September 8, 1913. He attended Boston Latin School where he scholarly prepared for Boston College. While studying for his A.B. degree at the college, he was one of the leaders in the Catholic Action programme which took a size- able form during his Junior year. He was also a member of both the Von Pastor and English Academies. He likewise pledged himself to the Sodality. Fred stands 5 feet, 5 inches and weighs 145 pounds. He kept his waistline down during his initial years here by walking to and from the college. He claims his favorite pastime was to ambulate up the Lake Street hill. Today, he gives little time to this hobby as we see his ac- celerating about the campus in his Chewy tour- ing car. He is an outstanding linesman in tag- football. He makes the fifth man in the opponent ' s backfield owing to his speed and be- cause no offside penalties exist. He has a mania for purple-colored shirts. Fred is considered an accomplished violinist. He points with pride to the 100 he merited in a Latin Comp. Final. He dislikes having any- one read at him. His pet hate, however, is chemistry, while on the other hand he delights in Sociology and Latin. The outstanding events in his college career were the two Fordham trips. Always a good listener, he will further his education at Harvard Business School. He has high ambitions of becoming a banker — an international banker. HENRY JOSEPH GARTLAND, A.B., 17 Haskell Street, Somerville, Mass. Henry was born in Somerville on April 2, 1913. He is tall and slim, five feet, eleven inches in height and weighs one hundred and forty-five pounds. Henry prepared at St. Philips and then entered the classic portals of Boston College. He was a faithful member of the Sodality and was also deeply interested in the Von Pastor Historical society. Henry ' s hobby is collecting novel rotogravure pictures and newspaper clip- pings. He likes slow waltz music and dislikes people with superficial mannerisms and super- iority complexes. As a Freshman, Henry led the Dean ' s list in History and he declares that this is the most memorable event in his college life. Henry works in the Boston Public Library after classes and on Sundays and is a familiar figure to those who search for books in that venerable institu- tion in Copley Square. Henry ' s ambition is to be a High School Teacher and in order to accomplish this, he in- tends to further his education by obtaining a Master ' s Degree. 71 PAUL FRANCIS GAUGHRAN, A.B., 179 Boylston Street, Dorchester, was born May 20, 1915 in Boston. He studied his classics at B. C. High, escaped the snares of trigonometry, did a little acting for James Street Thespians in their Shakespearean presentations. Wlien he dis- covered that he was popularizing George Bern- ard Shaw, he snatched his diploma, sped out to the Heights. On the Heights he vowed never to act again, went into the newspaper game instead, joining both Heights and Stylus. His modesty never allowed his name to be printed as a staff member of either of these publications, but the fact that he alternated between the gridiron teams of the two is adequate proof of his posi- tion. In Junior the vow renouncing the tinsel and paint of the stage began to weaken; he joined Fulton, found it was a fair substitute for acting. In Senior his resistance fell apart, and he joined the notorious One Act Play Club, once more vaunted his dramatic skill before the footlights. After taking copious law notes, he joined the Marshall and White Law Academy, listened to several lectures on the state of the Bar, decided he would satisfy his desire to act by using the Bar as a stage, Massachusetts judges as an audience. He will go to Boston College Law School for three years, pass the Bar examina- tions; then he will sit in his office and wait for old classmates to send in their cries of distress. JOHN VINCENT GEARY, A.B., 853 Third Street, South Boston, was born December 3, 1914, of pure Irish stock and has lived in Southie all of his twenty-one years. He went to Boston College High School for four years, where he gained prominence as a hockey star in his Junior year. Freshman at B. C. was rather like a repetition of Senior year in High School, but Sophomore takes its place as John ' s most interesting year at the Heights. Under Father Quinn he became an active member of the Sodality. He journeyed to New York City, watched the Fordham-Boston College fracas, and claimed that the choppy return voyage did not make him seasick. It was in Junior, after taking an active part in the Economics Academy, that John finally decided upon a career in the business world. Last fall, to get a look at Wall Street, (incident- ally, to watch the Fordham game), John again sped over to Gotham. He dislikes actresses. He enjoys hockey and yachting; in fact, he may be seen on any gusty day tacking his little boat across the Harbor. As yet John is undecided as to which way he will enter the economic field; he will either spend another year or two at a graduate business school, or use his A.B. to close the ledger of his scholastic career. 72 JAMES VINCENT GIBBONS, A.B., 59 Adams Street, Revere. Just a few days before the Class of ' 36 become Alumni, or on June 8 (to be exact) James V. Gibbons will celebrate his 22nd birthday. Jim has lived in Revere ' s metropolis since June 8, 1914. He matriculated at the Immaculate Conception High School in that fair city of dashing breakers, where he showed marked ability in many lines. As a result he has a reputation there as an athlete, a musician, and an editor. The latter position makes us very careful, since Jim was Editor of the Im- maculata, the school Year Book. Jim was here for a quarter before we were conscious of his presence. This came about when a certain section of Freshman were told that only Mr. Gibbons was passing Greek. We ' ve known him well ever since. Jim has not managed as many things here on the Heights as he did at the Revere School. Not because he hasn ' t the ability, but rather because he has held various outside positions. Then, too, he is president of his High School Alumni Association. Jimmy has been a Sodalist, and an active member of the Law Academy. This seems to be foreshadowing of the future. Next year if all goes well James V. Gibbons will be found in the enrolling class at the Boston College School of Law. Should this Revere Barrister ever prosecute a defendant who is aided by Eddie Furbush, it would be a case in which I shouldn ' t care to be the judge. JAMES EVERETT GILCREAST, A.B., 24 Harvard Street, Lowell was born in that city March 13, 1914. His father is a pedagogue, thus we can trace Jim ' s early scholastic ability to both heredity and environment. At Keith Academy Jim continued to display a marked aptitude for studies and debate. He won his K in baseball, and the plaudits of his fellow students as a thespian. After graduation from Keith Jim began the long series of treks which carry him daily from Lowell to Chestnut Hill. Most of us would complain but Gil not only refuses to complain, but asserts that commuting has been one of the features of his college career. In his four years as a member of the Class of 1936, Jim has been a member of Von Pastor, a Sodalist, and an active participant in the endeavors of the B. C. Club of Lowell. These extra-curricular activities should be sufficient to furnish any graduate with a ready stock of college day anecdotes. Gil remembers still the t wo Boston College trips to Fordham. He is one of the loyal boys who assert that we won both games. When we mention exams, especially orals, Jim doesn ' t care to talk. Nevertheless, he in- tends to take the strictest of all life ' s exams — a business career. 73 GEORGE MICHAEL CARROLL GOODWIN, A.B., 47 Ainswoith Street, was born in Boston, Anno Domini 1912. George is one of those ideally handsome men, six feet tall, weighs one hundred and eighty pounds and is very dark and very handsome. He spent four years at Boston Latin School, where he received many an inter- esting afternoon on their football teams. George is interested in all sports, especially those of the indoor type. Philosophy is the greatest bane of our hand- some hero ' s life, and he has excellent reasons for his opinion. Being of calm and serene nature, George has declared that nothing has disturbed his equilibrium during his college years to any great extent, but that is probably because he is a man of the world. As Adver- tising Manager of the Boston College Eagle, George was before the public eye during the football season. Although he is undecided as to his future career, George is sure to obtain success in whatever he attempts, for his bewitching per- sonality is an important and necessary asset. The Boston Traveler sets George up as a typical B. C. man and ran his picture to prove it. BRENTON STANLEY GORDON, A.B., 23 Oak Street, Natick, was born October 11, 1914, in Dorchester. He stands 5 feet, 9 inches, weighs 121 pounds, has light brown hair and blue eyes. His build is slight, his features regular. He was graduated from Natick High in 1932. There he was president of the dramatic club, editor of the school paper and yearbook. Sec- retary of his class and a member of the debating team. In college he was a Sodalist during his first and last two years. Secretary of the Junior- Senior Sodality in Senior. He was a member of the Marquette in Sophomore, the Von Pastor in Junior, The Heights and the Sub Turri Biog- graphy Staff in Senior. He seems to have a special ability for organ- ization, for salesmanship, and for the use of clever rhetoric. He likes to think over his trip to Fordham in 1933. Lists as likes legitimate musical shows, football games, and debating. Exacting men with exacting ideas but liberal views win his admiration, while illogical people and those with excessive noise and chatter get on his nerves. He is noted for his affability coupled with enthusiasm. He has surprised many by the intensity of his college spirit and his devotion to Catholic Action. He says he wants to leave more money to Boston College than Harkness left to Harvard. The Boston Col- lege Law School may be the seat of his future education. 74 EDWARD JOSEPH GORMAN, A.B., 10 Day Street, Brockton, was born October 9, 1914, in Brockton. He was graduated from the Brockton High School where he was a debater and an honor student. He stands 5 feet, 11 inches, weighs 160 pounds, and is good looking to such a degree that he worked as an usher at the very demanding Brockton Theatre. His ancestors were valiant Irishmen. He has a good voice, a fine platform appearance, and a great deal of oratorical ability. He is noted for the width of his smile and the extent to which he will put himself out to be helpful. Golf is his most prominent hobby. In his first two years he was a member of the Mar- quette, the Van Pastor, and the French Academy. In his junior year he was a member of the Fulton and one of the Regional Directors of the Boston College Council of Catholic Action. In his last year he was a Library assistant. For the entire four years he was a member of the Sodality. He doesn ' t advertise himself, be- lieves in Al Smith ' s Let ' s look at the record, and submits the foregoing. JOHN FRANCIS HAGGERTY, B.S., 3 Curve Street, Framingham, was born October 19, 1914, in Framingham. He had completed one year at Framingham High School before he discovered that he was of a scientific turn of mind. After that he spent his time in the laboratory, smashing test tubes and beakers, causing the Town Fathers untold consternation by manufacturing three or four noisy but harmless explosions. With no little relief, then, the Framingham Solons hand- ed him his high school diploma, advised him that the best possible scientific courses could be obtained in Timbuctoo. John, however, decided that Boston College courses were the best possi- ble, and after finding that he could return nightly to haunt his townsfolk, he enrolled with the Class of 1936. In Freshman he ran around the track, and occasionally orated before the French Academy. The following year he hung up his track suit, bade a sad adieu to his French friends, started to concentrate on physics and chemistry, became Amoeba in the Knights of the Test Tube. When he receives his Bachelor ' s degree, John will rest for a few months, dien return to the laboratory to gain a Master ' s degree, possibly a Doctorate. Thus equipped he will swiftly win fame and fortune in some gigantic chemical corporation in Framingham or Timbuctoo. 75 FRANCIS PATRICK HART, A.B., 54 Lothrop Street, Newtonville, was born September 19, 1913, in the previously mentioned city. He is 5 feet, 10 inches in height, weighs 140 pounds, has brown hair and blue eyes, and is of light complexion. At Our Lady ' s High in Newton, Frank was a member of the baseball team and the dramatic club. As an exponent of stage- craft he was without peer, for, beneath the mild exterior which has characterized him through his college years, there is a forceful and appealing personality. At Boston College Fritz, Harty, (his favorite nicknames) was a member of the Sod- ality, in which he was active in both Freshman and Sophomore. The two trips to New York to view the Fordham games will long be remem- bered by Fritz, together with the Junior Prom and the Philomatheia Ball. His hobbies have been, a devotion to his old High School pastime, baseball, and a love for the science of Chemistry, in which he excelled. Pessimists are to Frank a blot which should be eradicated from present day civilization. His love of watching a Boston College grid- iron team in action, to behold the wearers of the Maroon and Gold plunge over the last white line to victory, has made him a football fanatic, and, we hope, a loyal fan in his alumni days. He is also one to keep close to the radio when there is a good comedian on the air. He intends to go into business. STEPHEN EDWIN HART, A.B., 60 Mill Street, Randolph, Mass., was born May 16, 1913, After attending the illustrious institution on James Street, he determined to follow in the footsteps of his grand-uncle, who was Valedic- torian of the first graduating class of Boston College. Here on the Heights Steve, although of stud- ious and reserved nature, has shown his versa- tility as a runner on Coach Jack Ryder ' s Freshman Track Squad, a member of the Sod- ality and a sports reporter on The Heights staff. He served on the Holy Cross dance committee and was division leader of the Catholic Action Council. His facility in argument assertions was fostered by participating in the disputes of the Marquette and Fulton Debating Societies. In the College Glee Club, in which as an out- standing bass, he sang in the Quartet and Octet. An able writer, his ability was utilized when he was appointed Assistant Chairman of the Editorial Board of the Sub Turri. A life ambition, to don the robes of a University pro- fessor, and inculcate a few Catholic principles into the generation ' s wayward youth is certainly a career for which Steve is qualified, as evi- denced by his frequent and authoritative dis- courses on many subjects. 76 JOSEPH MANNING HARVEY, A.B., 190 Pauline Street, Winthrop, was born in this harbor town September 9, 1914. Five feet, eleven inches in height, with blue eyes and brown hair, Joe is one of the truly representa- tive Boston College men, quiet, studious and in- tensely interested in anything that has to do with his Alma Mater. At Winthrop High, Joe took part in football and basketball; was an editor of the school paper and also a member of the year book staff. On arriving at the Heights, he was much interested in his books and thus his only extra curricular activity was the History Academy. But due to the knowledge which Joe possessed of government, world events and current affairs, he quickly became one of the outstanding mem- bers of this Academy. Books are his major concern, especially those that concern govern- ment, and he is attempting to do that which every true scholar desires, to obtain a personal library. The Physics course under Fr. Tobin, was the most interesting subject in his course, and to- gether with the Fordham Trip constitute the most memorable events in his college Career. Success in Business is the greatest ambition and desire of Joe ' s life, although if it is possible he intends to go to Law school and obtain his LL.D. THOMAS WILLIAM HAVERTY, A.B., 68 Liberty Avenue, Somerville, had the distinction of being the fastest walker at the college. He easily left us all in the distant rear. And yet, in spite of this rapid means of locomotion, in class Tom was quite statuesque. He invariably gazed quietly on the lecturer, faithfully copying note after note. Possessed with an exceedingly deep voice, Tom cheated the Dramatic Society of a superb villain. However, he excused him- self on the plea that he lacked the conventional long silken moustache. Tom ' s chauffeur called for him punctually at 1 :30. Occasionally, Tom would wave punctuality aside, and conde- scend to eat with the notorious Messrs. Damon, Hayes, and Berra. His favorite food was ice cream. During the last class he often wore a worried expression. He was fearful lest the freshmen had consumed more than their quota of cream. Tom was at his best when striding swiftly around the campus, gingerly carrying his books. Al- though Tom was a very faithful student, he pre- tended that he furnished free transportation for his books merely to give them a breath of fresh air. Four years in the semi-civilized atmosphere of the Heights should do much to help Tom en- dure his fate. (He lives in Somerville.) Once Tom has gained his sheepskin, he intends to accept the invitation of the brain-trusters. 77 WILLIAM THOMAS HAYES, A.B., 384 Pros- pect Street, Cambridge, was a quiet lad and deeply philosophical. He was ever a good listener. He gave every man his ear and few his voice. And yet, in the dining salon he was often found ardently discussing (between doughnuts) the pros and cons of sundry weighty questions with distinctions. With these he destroyed many an argument of the Messrs. Damon and Berra. As a Freshman Bill was a member of the Sodality, and as a Sopho- more he attended the occasional meetings of the Dante Society. As a Senior, he had the dubious distinction of sitting in the darkest corner of the Senior Assembly Hall — directly beneath the stained glass window. Often from this myster- ious nook issued a voice asking Fr. Keyes a question on the psyche. Throughout his college career Bill possessed to an eminent degree a certain poise that noth- ing ever destroyed. Even though for four years he travelled to and from classes on the so-called system of transportation, he bore such a mis- fortune with his usual stoic fortitude. For a record. Bill has attended every football game played at home. After June 10, Bill will be at home. Later he will advise brain trusters. ROBERT AUGUSTINE HAYS, A.B., 22 Grant Place, Waltham, was born February 2, 1914, in Waltham. Some of his English ancestors landed with John Cabot on Newfoundland and were with Wolfe ' s army at Quebec. He was graduated from St. Mary ' s High in Waltham. He stands 5 feet, IIV2 inches, weighs 145 pounds. He is tall and dark with a frequently recurring pleas- ant grin. He has a low voice which mingles nicely with the clashing of gears on his famous old roadster. Sometimes he amuses himself by teasing a harmonica, at other times he allows himself to be really musical and places a violin tenderly under his chin. For some years he has worked at one of the better known wayside ice cream establishments but despite all his hard work digging into hard cream with a scoop he can still confess that he likes ice cream. He intends to enter the Naval Air Force and to study navigation in, under, and over the sea. 78 WILLIAM GEORGE HAYWARD, A.B., 22 Victoria Street, Dorchester, commenced his earthly career May 10, 1914. Bill measures five feet, nine inches, from his brown curly top- ped head to his size eight shoes, and weighs one hundred, forty-five pounds. At Milford in 1645, his noble English ancestors settled. He went to Boston English High School and was a member of the track team for four years. When Bill came out to B. C. he immediately went out for his favorite sport and for his abil- ity was made Editor of the track column in The Heights and elected Manager of track in his last year. He joined the tennis squad and the Press Club, becoming the President of the latter. Bill also became Editor of the Eagle, and as a climax to his social life was Chairman of the Junior Prom. Bill would like to be known as a philanthro- pist. Accompanying the football squad to New York for the football games is the most outstanding incident in his College life though he is doubtful if he will ever forget his Junior Prom. To be a real honest-to-goodness journal- ist, is Bill ' s desire, and inasmuch as he is al- ready a correspondent for the Globe, it is evident he is well on his way to attain his ambi- tion. JAMES JOSEPH HEFFERNAN, A.B., 41 Fifth Street, Medford, was born March 12, 1915, in Boston. He was graduated from the Medford High School. He now stands 6 feet, 2 inches, weighs 170 pounds. His hair is brown, his eyes rather quizzical. He likes to sketch and his ability with a sketching pencil was so great that his classmates generally considered him as the official class artist. Besides sketching he takes such great en- joyment out of social life that he is certain the Philomatheia Ball will linger in his memory in addition to the Fordham trips. Snobs are an- athema to him. In Freshman he was on the Baseball squad, in Sophomore he was on the managerial staff of the Football team, in Junior he was on the Prom Committee and a Regional Director of the Boston College Council of Catholic Action, in Senior he was a member of the Law Academy and of the Business Staff of the Sub TuRRi and chairman of the Father ' s Day Committee. He was also a member of The Heights staff and Player-Manager of the Fencing Team. He intends to go to the Harvard Law School. After that he will practice law and plunge into politics. 79 LAURENCE JUSTINE HERN, A.B., 34 Adams Street, Dorchester, was born June 1, 1913, in Dorchester. After he was through carrying mere grammar school books, he decided to in- vade the ancient corridors of Boston College High School. Here he basked in the classics of Vergil and Homer, and studied the intricacies of trigonometry. He took an active part in golf and tennis for the James Street Eaglets. After the spell of a high school graduation had passed, he pondered for a while and then decided to climb Chestnut Hill. Larry joined the tennis squad and proceeded to win love matches for three years. The responsibility of being a Heights newshawk was so light for him, that he spent football seasons selling millions of Eagles to football fans. In Senior he was the Vice-President of the Marshall and White Law Academy, and, aided by his faithful pipes, he argued and won many a point pertaining to the merits of the Common Law. Larry does not confine his arguing and pipe puffing to the Law Academy, however. Daily, in the Rotunda, he lectures on New Deals and Old Deals, theories of consciousness and theories of unconsciousness, surrounding himself with a halo of tobacco fog. As yet he has been too busy even to consider the task of selecting a life ' s job; all he is sure of is that he will continue to puff on meerschaums and follow the Common Law. A. FRANCIS HILBRUNNER, A.B., 198 High- land Street, Roxbury, was born July 7, 1914 in Roxbury. He is known as Frank to every- one. He was graduated from Boston College High School, where he was a member of the Sodality for four years. He stands 5 feet, 6 inches, weighs 137 pounds, has dark brown hair, and brown eyes which have the clear, persistent gleam of the scientist. His slim face is usually widened by a very flashing smile. At Boston College he has been a Sodalist for four years. In November of his Junior he was one of the Sodality group which went down to Fordham for the Sodality Conference. In his last two years he was an Advocate in the Senior- Junior Sodality. In four years he has not missed one class nor has he been late for any class. In Junior he became a member of the Radio Club, in Senior he became its Presi- dent. He has a special ability for speaking through a microphone in talking with other sta- tions. He has exercised this ability both in the college station and with his own equipment. Once, while parked on the top of Corey Hill in Brookline, he carried on a pleasant radio con- versation with one of the Brookline cruising cars. His ambitions encompass teaching and his zeal for knowing more radio. From his college life he will remember two exceptional friends, Larry Riley and Joe Jones. He may take an M.A. 80 RAYMOND PAUL HOGAN, A.B., 15 Iro- quois Street, Roxbury, was born June 30, 1914, on Mission Hill, the mountainous section of Roxbury. Young, Irish, sturdy Master Hogan received a sound training in everything at Boston Public Latin School. In addition to studying Latin and English and Numbers, Ray swam about under the Purple and White banners. He upheld the old Colonial spirit by holding up the butt end of a toy gun in the annual Anabasis of the Schoolboys along Tremont Street. When he found that it was all a joke, that there was no war at all, Ray decided to leave Latin High School and get his degree on the Heights of Chestnut Hill. In his first year as a college boy, Ray was elected vice-president of the class; after holding the office for two years, he thought he might as well meet some of his classmates, so he ceased to be the forgotten man, and became the remembered man. Ray joined the Rifle Squad, and showed he could plink the bull ' s eye every time; he also dabbled in History, and Economics as a member of those Academies. Last fall Ray left the hills of Roxbury long enough to get a squint at the Fordham Ram, Times Square and the tall build- ings of Manhattan Isle. When Ray receives his A.B. he will rush back to Mission Hill for a vacation, come down out of the Hill, rush over to Harvard Business School and spend two years watching the choppy Charles chop by. After that he will go in for corporate finance in a big way. LEO JAMES HORGAN, A.B., 40 Penfield Street, Roslindale, came into the view of mortal men July 23, 1915, and he has been much in their view ever since. He studied his funda- mentals at Boston Latin School, where he played football, hockey, and baseball for three years, and tramped as a major in the platoons of the Cadet Army. As a fitting climax to his high school career, in keeping with his literary ac- tivities, he kept the minutes of the graduating class in a noble and lofty style. Leo entered Boston College in 1932; he joined the Sodality and has been a faithful member during his four years at the Heights. He was a member of the track team during Junior. He has been an enthusiastic rooter for the football team, following it to Baltimore on one occasion, and to old Broadway twice. Oc- casionally Leo sits down at a piano and bangs out a sonata, or draws a silver bow across the strings of a Stradivarius. More often he enjoys an opera or two, a lucrative voyage to Suffolk Downs or Revere, or even a walk in the park. After accepting a degree from Boston College, Leo will travel to Harvard Law School, pass the bar examination, and become a great jurist. However, before or after attaining renown as a lawyer, Leo hopes to spend a year in Sunny California, a year abroad, and then come home and buy a string of racing horses. With tliese nags, he will hit the Daily Double and collect two thousand greenbacks. 81 FREDERICK MATTHEW HOWARD, A.B., 681 Hammond Street, Chestnut Hill, Brookline, was born in that renowned spot July 6, 1914. He went to Brookline High School where he secured an education in spite of having to at- tend classes at the same time, and where he indulged his favorite occupation of trying to hand-cuff the statue of Venus, while he wasn ' t entertaining the French or German Clubs. Six feet long, weight 150 pounds, he is tall and thin with a wiry frame and blonde hair. Won ' t commit himself about the deeds of his ancestors but claims Irish, English, and French descent. He has been called Slagle but for some strange reason he doesn ' t object — maybe it ' s his nickname. His wide, free smile, and deep, hearty laugh, and love for quiet repartee made him the center of lunch-room conviviality. Yet few, because of his reticent nature, (he never talked much about himself) realized his intellectual capabil- ities and the fine scholastic record he was build- ing up unnoticed until it was announced he was one of three to win coveted appointments to Harvard Medical School. Active among those serious-minded members of the Pre-Med. Sem- inar, he made many a meeting most interesting by his comment and questions following the regular talks. He bids fair to become a dis- tinguished Medico but we don ' t think he will realize his ambition to retire so that he might have as much spare time as Mahatma Ghandi ' s tailors. VINCENT AMBROSE HUGHES, A.B., 16 Willoughby Street, Lawrence, was born October 8, 1912, in Lawrence. He prepared at Law- rence High School. The day he came upon the handsome catalogue of Boston College, caught the first train to Chestnut Hill. He joined the French Academy, spent four years there, digest- ing everything from the purest Parisian to the delightful patois of a South Boston Irishman. He enjoyed Father Low ' s Junior Philosophy Class and in Senior, because Father Boehm dis- coursed at such length a propos ice cream eaters, he refrained from the frozen dessert. Vinnie recalls the Freshman Banquet, where he digested plenty of ice cream, as a most mem- orable event. He stays clear through Fr. J. F. X ' s lectures. The reward for such attention came the day he received a cup of gold and a prize of cash for his essay on George Washing- ton. Vinnie hopes to remain on the Heights for a year longer, obtain a Master ' s degree, then assume charge of some high school class in Lawrence. Amateur horticulturalist Hughes, having won a prize for historical essays, will probably spend his spare time cultivating a red, white and blue tulip; after that, his classmates expect him to grow a maroon and old gold tulip, and dedicate it to them. 82 CHRISTOPHER ANGELO lANNELLA, A.B., 353 Hanover Street, Boston, was born in Italy May 29, 1913. He was graduated from the English High School in Boston. There he was a member of the Latin and French Clubs, Ad- jutant-General of the Cadets, and Head Master ' s aide. He now stands 5 feet, 10 inches, weighs 145 pounds. He has dark brown eyes, smooth facial features, and black hair. He is slim and has a light, quick step. His Italian ancestors were noblemen who were quick to bring law suits, temperamental in their conduct, and then forgetful of the whole matter. He is noted for his sympathetic conversational ability for his helpful manner. His voice is not only pleasing in private conversation but it is powerful when raised in oratory. He likes to bowl, to read biographies and to take part in vigorous intellectual discussions. Pedantic persons and those who think they know more than the professor get on his nerves. In college he has been a member of the Dante Academy and the Law Academy. In 1935 he founded the Italian Academy, of which he was the first President. The stirring shouts of the pre-Cross game rally of 1933 have not yet died from his ears. He intends to go to the Boston College Law School. After that he wants to be a leader of a group or committee seeking to enhance the conditions of his community. FRANCIS JOSEPH lARROBINO, A.B., 148 Suffolk Street, Chestnut Hill, was born in South Natick, June 16, 1914. At Boston College High School he assimilated the classics, played vars- ity football, captained the baseball nine. In his first year at Boston College he played on the yearling eleven, began his four year career as an outfielder on the baseball team. Not content with actively participating in college sports, Frank assumed the executive duties of Senior Class representative to the Athletic Association, thus directing his own destinies on the diamond. When he had completed his daily athletic and scholastic chores, he sat down before a short wave radio, dashed off messages either to the Radio Club in the Science Building, or to some mud hut in Kenya Land. After his final examinations he shuts down his radio, packs his camera equipment and speeds up to the country around Montreal for a summer of eating, sleeping, shooting Canadian friends and landscapes. After graduation Frank will become neither a photographer nor a radio man. Instead, because he has passed a rigid Naval Examination, he will enter the Naval Reserve Air Corps, spend the summer at Squantum grounding himself in aero-dynamics. Then he will sail down to Pensacola, pass the time dodging clouds and trees in one of Uncle Sam ' s air machines. 83 WILLIAM VINCENT JESELONIS, A.B., 82 Myrtle Street, Medford, was born in Boston August 13, 1913, of Polish-Lithuanian stock. His ancestors on his father ' s side were descended from the royal cousins of Poland ' s great hero — king Jan Sobieski. Jes — we know him also as Blondy and Handsome — is 5 feet, 11 inches, weighs 175 pounds. Jess comes from Medford High and Boston College High School, where he played football, was a member of the track team, and was a class officer. He is a very versatile chap, and among his various accomplishments is his ability to speak three languages fluently. He is also well known as a vocalist; we remember his fine ren- dition of The Rose of Tralee on a program where he was billed as The Polish Tenor. His greatest hobbies are fishing, yachting, and of course music. He likes Wagner, Verdi, and Strauss, but he dislikes Gershwin ' s mnsic. He is a connoisseur of food, horses, and blondes. He was a member of the Freshman football squad of 1932, and chairman of one of the most important activities of Junior Week. The most memorable events in Jess ' life were the trips to Baltimore and New York with the football team. He has a set of very high ambitions, among which are his desires to become a millionaire and also an opera singer. LEONARD FRANCIS JOHNSON, A.B., 35 Clement Avenue, Peabody, was born October 25, 1913 in the historic town of Peabody. The red-headed giant attended Peabody High School where he played football and baseball to his heart ' s content. With his eye on Boston College as his future Alma Mater he burnt the midnight oil many a night in preparation of his scholastic pursuit of his A.B. at Boston College. Here his passage has been steady and progressive. As an ardent upholder of Scholastic philosophy he is well prepared for anything that should happen to come his way. His enrollment in the Business Club of the College was his first step in his career of Busi- ness Administration which he intends to follow after he has his sheepskin tucked securely under his arm in June. Sports are a favorite hobby with him, with baseball taking the lead and foot- ball a close second. He missed scarcely one game during his career here and that famous wet game with Holy Cross stands out in his mind as the most prominent. The French Academy with all that it stands for in the line of linguistic endeavors points to him as one of its most stal- wart representatives. Business School is the next step in Leonard ' s career; after that he will amass a goodly sum of lucre in the business world, and then he will pass the rest of his days in quiet philosophic meditations, unhampered by any distracting influences. 84 WILLIAM ALOYSIUS JOHNSON, A.B., 11 Holiday Street, Dorchester, was born January 6, 1914. He is 5 feet, 8 inches, 155 pounds of whipcord and sinew, and, of course. Bill has blue eyes and wears very trim-looking silver- rimmed glasses (for defensive purposes). Cy, or Doc, as he is called, came from Boston Latin School, where he starred at track and was in high scholastic standing. He has a fine sense of humor and knows most of the answers. He is a track man, and has been a member of the Sodality during his four years at college. He is famous for his tag-football game, and is a connoisseur of ice-cream cones. He is one of the best jugglers in Senior, at least working with fruit — he hasn ' t tried eggs as yet. His two great hobbies are analyzing football plays and bell- hopping. Among his prominent likes are the Cape, and soporific repose. He has the vast good sense to dislike Lake Street Cars. Cy has always had two impossible ambitions: to build a bridge across the Atlantic and to hit the nigger pool. He considers the Junior Prom, the Fordham trip, and the closing days of Freshman, Sophomore and Junior as the outstanding events of his college life, but the greatest event of all is, in his own words, the day I knew my Greek. JOSEPH FRANCIS JONES, A.B., 34 Gold- smith Street, Jamaica Plain, was born in Boston, November 30, 1914. Joe sped through gram- mar school, decided to finish out his scholastic days at Boston College High School. As a James Street commuter he managed to win a few debates, play a few football games. In 1932 he joyfully began his collegiate career on University Heights. As a first year man, Joe continued his athletic career on the gridiron, attended Father Quinn ' s Sodality, studied assid- uously. For four years he was one of the top honor men. In Sophomore he began a forensic career in the Marquette Debating Society. Such a victory entitled him to membership in the Fulton, and with the advent of his Junior year he took full advantage of this opportunity, made Fulton ' s hallowed walls tremble and debated for the Fulton against other colleges. Not satisfied with the King ' s English, he joined the French Academy, harangued an earn- est throng of young Americans weekly. As Assistant Circulation Manager of the Sub Turri he collected a great deal of money satisfactorily. As a Senior Sodalist, he held the office of First Assistant to the Vice-Prefect, put Communism to flight with a rare blast of verbiage. After Joe becomes a Bacheloi% he will wait around on the Heights for a year until he is made a Master. Thereupon he will teach French to young Bos- tonians during the winter, shoot his rifle at Green Harbor gulls, build model brigs during the summer. 85 FRANK JOSEPH JORDAN, JR., A.B., 118 Pleasant Street, Stoughton, Mass., was born in the historic town of Stoughton on February 14, 1914. He became president of the Student Council during the last two years of his Stough- ton High School. In spare time he played base- ball or tennis, at both of which games he is as proficient as he is in his studies. At Boston College he passed through an uneventful Fresh- man year — laying a firm foundation in the classics for his medical studies. Sophomore year found him enrolled in the difficult pre-medical course. Hereafter his fav- orite haunts became the laboratories in the Science building. Despite his strenuous schedule he found time to become one of the leading lights of the pre-med. seminar. He plays tennis like a second Tilden, con- fining his athletic activities to that game. His trek to the big city in ' 35 stands out as his most memorable incident. As a musical critic Frank dislikes to hear singers but enjoys symphonies and other musical concerts. He finds a movie an agreeable way of spending an afternoon. He will be happy the next few years as he dis- sects cadavers in pursuit of his M.D. degree, and a few more years will find him firmly established as physician extraordinary to the town of Stoughton. THOMAS ALBERT KEANE, A.B., 12 Thetford Avenue, Dorchester, was born in Boston, Jan- uary 16, 1915. From his native Dorchester, he traveled daily to Boston College High, gradu- ated, and turned to Boston College for a Bachelor of Arts degree. In Freshman, he found life rather uneventful, except for a few stories he scooped as a Heights newshawk. Soph- omore, in Father Quinn ' s class, was in sharp contrast to Freshman. Here Hank learned to appreciate the delicacy of the Greek verb, Shakespeare ' s Hamlet, and Macbeth ; here he became a meinber of the Boulay; here, per- haps, he began his classical hobbies of collecting symphonic recordings. In Junior, tall Hank joined the Economics and History Academies. Rarely at a loss for words, he found himself speechless twice; at the noteworthy performance of Journey ' s End, enacted by the Dramatic Club; and, at the Junior Philosophy Orals. In Senior, he procured a job as switchboard operator. A busy man, between college and switchboard, Hank finds time to don his tall hat and enjoy the opera and the symphony, to spend his leisure skiing, watching the Boston Bruins, Jean Harlow, listen- ing to Wayne King and Eddie Duchin. On the other hand, he dislikes novels, democracy, Greta Garbo of Sweden; and, as with many classical scholars, he has a violent contempt for chem- istry, physics and such stuff. After graduation, ol ' Hank hopes to step into something soft. 86 JAMES JOSEPH KEATING, A.B., 45 H Street, South Boston, stands 5 feet, 10 inches, weighs 150 pounds. May first is noisily known as Red Day. Therefore it wasn ' t at all peculiar when the lusty baby boy which came to the Keating household on May 1, 1912, should be a red head. The blessed event incidentally occurred in South Boston where Jim has dwelt ever since. The boy grew to be an ideal figure and he has a pleasing Irish smile which we all know so well. Jim graduated with honors from English High School and came in the fall of 1932 to University Heights. The trials and tribulations of the American boy earning his way through college were real trials and tribulations in Jim ' s case. The Sodality (of which Jim is official pianist) have had one or two guest speakers during the past year on Social Ser- vice. They came to lecture to the Boston Col- lege Sodality, and remained to listen to Jim Keating ' s talks on Settlement Houses in Boston. In cold and sometimes sordid experience in this work Jim has already earned (even if he hasn ' t received it) his M.S. in Social Work. Next year will find Jim among the select en- rolling class of the Boston College School of Social Service. JOSEPH PATRICK KEATING, A.B., 27 East Street, Natick, was born on March 10, 1915. When Joe graduated from Natick High School in 1932 (along with his B. C. classmate. Brent Gordon) the local high school lost its hockey goalie and outstanding debater. The baseball team and school newspaper also had to look around for new talent. When in the fall of 1932 the Marquette So- ciety of Debaters gazed upon Joe ' s 5 feet, 10 inches, they were quiet. When in his maiden speech, his 135 pounds vigorously demanded the abolishment of the Greek requirement, they stood up and cheered. In his Junior Year Joe broke up the family sleep in Natick one morn- ing (very early) by conducting himself on a private marathon. It was all started by a private wager; but when after an hour and a half of steady trudging, Joe arrived in Natick the mul- titudes cheered and cheered. After all, he started from Ashland. In his next attempt to make the headlines Joe tried to cross up the law in Orange, Conn., on the way to Fordham. Boston College Law is his immediate goal. Wlien he has passed the bar, he aims to be our next District Attorney. Then, says Joe, I want to be the keeper of tlie law in Orange, Conn., for ten minutes. Just ten minutes. 87 BERNARD FRANCIS KELLEY, A.B., was born in Burlington, Vermont, realized his mistake and moved to Arlington where he honored Arlington High with his imposing appearance. He is a 6 footer, weighs 210, and is dark complected. After egging on their football team for four years to high interscholastic ranks, he settled down to a serious education at the aerie of the Eagle. He joined the Frosh football squad, but damaged his opponents so that the A. A. refused to pay the hospital bills any longer. Reluctant- ly yielding, Kel decided to see whether he couldn ' t set records in some other line. He did. We don ' t think he ever missed a class and so he has a most complete set of notes, even in Greek. In addition to being a faithful Sodalist, he is a real athlete. He likes all forms of sport, particularly swimming, hockey, and football. He is, unlike most athletically inclined, of a very quiet, but gently humorous disposition. The violet blushes in comparison with Bernard. Because of his interest in football he considers the most outstanding event of his career that glorious battle and up-hill fight to victory over Michigan State. He likes Fr. Corrigan ' s Elec- tric Chair when someone else is in it, but doesn ' t like it when he is tightly strapped to that instrument of mental torture. EDWARD JAMES KELLY, A.B., 53 Green- wood Street, Dorchester, was born June 11, 1915, in Dorchester. He was graduated from the Boston English High School, where he played football and hockey. He now stands 5 feet, 10 inches, weighs 175 pounds, has large very light blue eyes and brown hair. He is noted for his habit of walking in a very erect manner with his head held high. He says that one of his less renowned Irish ancestors was king of Ireland. His fingernails in their perfection show the effect of his careful filing. His classmates say that he has a habit of exclaiming Holy Cats. As a youngster he had a widespread reputation as a fancy lancer at dancing receptions, meet- ings of charitable organizations and the like. Now he confines himself to playing his violin at leisure. He still blushes at times when a blush is really necessary. In college he has been a very prominent member of the Pre-Med Seminar. He still remembers very vividly his experiences as a timekeeper in Senior at the Harvard-Boston College debate at Ford Hall. In a humorous way he wonders if his time- keeping was responsible for the Boston College defeat. For four years he was numbered as a fine student and was considered one of the best men in the Pre-Med group. He has been ac- cepted by the Tufts Medical School. EDWARD FRANCIS KICKHAM, A.B., 657 Chestnut Hill Avenue, Brookline, was born in the world ' s wealthiest town on April 4, 1915. He was graduated from the Brookline High School in 1932. He now stands 6 feet, 3 inches, weighs 165 pounds. His voice is deep, a little slow, and very pleasant. Ed or Stretch has been a trackman (hurdler) for four years, and Track Captain and Student Councillor in Senior. He was a Sodalist for four years, a member of the Marquette in Sophomore. He won a bass part in the Glee Club. He likes to read poetry and to memorize discontinuous lines. Lily Pons singing in the stratosphere pleases him and he is very fond of ru nning, especially when he is ahead. Persons who gush are not easy on his nerves, ties which do not match are a sore to his eyes, and he feels strongly about the swimming heads which come after a lab. session flavored with formalin. His favorite memory of the Heights concerns those days when Father Vaughn ' s Greek Class met on the greensward near the Library. He would also like to know if the East Orange Constabulary has ever returned twenty-five dol- lars of the coin of the realm to Mr. J. Keating and party. He is Vice-President of the Boston College Club of Brookline. Medical School is his next stop. JOHN FRANCIS KILDERRY, A.B., 1228 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, was born Novem- ber 27, 1914, in Cambridge. When he was through with grammar school, he followed the crowd across the Charles River, ended up on James Street, at famed Boston College High School. Here he studied so hard that he dis- covered his name on the Honor Roll for four years; he played first base on the ball team, debated for a couple of years, was a member of the year book stafif in 1932. After leaving James Street he decided to spend four years on University Heights. John had little time for extra-curricula activities, spending his after- noons in the business world piling up huge sur- pluses. In Junior, however, he listened to theoretical business principles in the Economics Academy, found they worked so well that he decided to go to the glorified Economics Acad- emy on the Charles, Harvard Business School. When he isn ' t concentrating on capitalism, John sits down to a piano and bangs out some difficult concerto, or even a piece of lowly jazz. If he can get some one else to play, he enjoys dancing and if deaf people are present he will vocalize very softly. When he is in the village of Cambridge, where there are no pianos, he reads all the novels he can carry into the place. He has earned quite a reputation as a local ball player. After he has finished his Harvard courses Johnnie hopes to combine profitably business, baseball, music and tlie novel. 89 JOSEPH HENRY KILLION, JR., A.B., 1111 Fellsway, Maiden, was born September 7, 1914, in Maiden. As a James Street Senior, Jocko played a little hockey in the winter, managed the baseball nine during the spring. After a sorrowful exodus from Boston ' s lovely South End, he entered the College on the Heights, be- gan a four year climb to the loftier heights of a degree. He was treasurer of the class for three years, retired before the fourth year to manage the fiscal affairs for the Malden-Medford B. C. Club. Strangely enough, it was not until Senior that he was formally instructed in the art of debiting and crediting. Throughout his college career, Jocko has been a faithful Sodalist, and in his last year, he de- livered several lectures on Communism for the Sodality. Uncertain for years as to the shortest course to fortune and renown, he has finally decided to spend his life before the Bar. Con- sequently, he joined the Law Academy, took down Law notes four days a week, and probably will spend the next three years at some law school abstracting concrete cases. He journeyed over to New York on two occasions to watch B. C. boys cavort about the green sward with the Ram. He enjoyed these trips well enough, but in reminiscence, he finds that his best days were spent in Sophomore, in Father Quinn ' s class. Perhaps as a G-Man, Jocko will solve the Mystery of 2-A ' s Opened Windows. The solution would be welcomed, not only by Father Quinn, but by every member of that poor, frozen class. THOMAS HENRY KILLION, B.S., 1111 Fellsway, Maiden, was born November 10, 1912, in Maiden. When he found that Boston College High School concentrated on the arts, scorned the sciences, he matriculated at St. John ' s Prep School, spent two years there, bending over beakers and distillation machinery, winning laurels on the football field. He left Danvers, began his College career at ultra scientific Bos- ton College. Lab. hours kept him from extra curricular activities. Early and late he remained in the laboratory, manufactured murderous chemicals, all but annihilated the rest of the class. In line with his ingenious experiments, which very often went against the principles ex- pounded by Einstein and Milliken, he read papers in the Chemistry Seminar an ent the dis- section of the atom. In Junior he managed to steal a little time from science, enroll with the Sodality. He was also a member of the Heights ' Society for scientific research, the Knights of the Test Tube, served one year as its Grand Atom. Wlien final examinations were over, Tom hopped into his sail boat, tacked down the South Shore to Green Harbor, spent the summer lounging on the sand. When he graduates Tom vows to shatter the atom, and then retire to a life of ease and science on the Beach near Green Harbor. 90 JOSEPH EDWARD KING, A.B., 87 West Elm Avenue, Wollaston, was born February 12, 1915, in Forest Hills. At an early age he went to Ohio on a trip, but shortly after returned and settled in the little fishing village of Wollaston. When he discovered that Wollaston ' s wooden school did not teach Greek, he sped to James Street, studied, debated, wrote for Boston Col- lege High School ' s publications. He joined the Terraplane A. €., whizzed to the Heights every morning with five other South Shore intellectuals. Sophomore, under the shrewd gaze of Father Thomas Quinn, ranks as his most interesting scholastic year. From this keen Jesuit he learned to understand Hamlet, Macbeth, Cicero and Demosthenes. In his third year he listened to speakers at the Economics Academy and the Von Pastor History Academy. In Senior Joe put his Accounting course to practical use by debiting Senior A, crediting American Magazine. He was a Sodalist for four years, giving several talks on Communism, finally acceding to the office of Vice-Prefect of the Senior Sodality. In his spare time he listens to Quincy tycoons tell of under-graduate days in the secret meetings of the Quincy Boston Col- le ge Club. He reads Time magazine avidly, endeavored to style his SuB TuRRi biographies after that publication. When he leaves the Heights, Joe expects to spend two years at Harvard Business School. JOHN EDMUND LALLY, A.B., 30 Davis Avenue, Brookline, was born September 3, 1914, in Brookline. He went to Brookline High School, studied his lessons, orated in French, debated in English, ran on the track. In Fresh- man he ran with the Health Squad until the weather became too frigid for his health, then logically joined the Marquette Debating Society, He also began a four year career on the rifle range, shot B. C. opponents with such deadly accuracy that fellow gunmen hastened to elect him captain in Senior. Boston College Sharpshooters cannily engage in telegraphic shooting contests; Boston Collegians, equally as canny, refrain from mentioning within earshot or gunshot of General Lally that the team uses adding machines instead of rifles. In the midst of his Heights career John en- rolled in the Dramatic Society, won thunderous applause in Hamlet, Richelieu and Everyman because he had wisely posted rifle scores the day before. Last June he decided to become a doctor and so took only one year of Pre-medical studies, instead of the customary two. It was a tribute to his diligence and bril- liance, that he received the appointment to Har- vard Medical School. In Pre-medical Seminar he pointed out to astounded members that tlie thallophyte situation was desperate. John will spend cheerful years surrounded with cadavers and such, then will graciously begin his medi- cal practice on B. C. Rifle Team opponents, whom he wounded over the telegraph wires. 91 EDWARD THOMAS LANDRY, A.B., 34 Ox- ford Street, Somerville, was born on September 6, 1915, in Brookline. He stands 5 feet, 10 in- ches, weighs 145 pounds. Sincere and likeable was Ed. For the first two years he was cloistered with the exclusive group from Boston College High. But in Junior he emerged and became one of the privileged back-seat men in Father Russell ' s class. There, in a position of great honoi , he answered all difficulties propounded by the class. It was in Junior also that Ed allowed the Glee Club the use of his voice. In Freshman, Ed stoically trotted around the track daily. But in Sophomore he decided that the voice was more than the body, and accord- ingly he retired to the confines of the Glee Club. In Senior, Ed occasionally ascended the ros- trum, and held Fultonians in his power. And in spite of the many hours devoted to the training of that voice, Ed found the time to assist the library staff , to frequent the rotunda, and to listen to the tales of his friend, Oakie. For four years Ed made the hazardous journey from that outlandish place known as Somerville. But Ed was always such a quiet lad, that he never boasted of this extraordinary feat. He seemed to consider such an undertaking as very com- mon. After leaving the College, Ed will spend his time at business school. After that, he looks forward to a desk he may call his own, behind which he will interview timid, job-seeking col- lege boys. JOHN JOSEPH LARKIN, JR., 92 Day St., Jamaica Plain, was born on December 8, 1913, in Jamaica Plain. At Boston Latin John took an active part in gridiron struggles. Deciding on a college career John turned his vivid red head toward the spires of Chestnut Hill. The Freshman and Sophomore Sodality found him a loyal and sincere member and he was ever faithful in his attendance. He was a member of the Freshman Football Squad and finding exercise much to his liking ran all of Sophomore year on Jack Ryder ' s health squad. Entering Junior Red became a cohort in the band of Fr. Harding ' s Loyal Sod- ality. With his customary enthusiasm he en- tered into activities and soon was knocking down the principles of Extreme Socialism or extolling the virtues of the Catholic Church down through the ages. John admits a dislike for ultra collegians and claims that sincerity should be part of the make- up of a real college man. Gliding across the waxed surface to the strains of sweet music is a favorite of his and he looks back on the Latin Composition class in second year as the most enjoyable and informal he ever has had. 92 JOSEPH FRANCIS LAWLESS, JR., A.B., 831 2 High Street, Charlestown, was born in Boston, August 14, 1914. Medium in height, and carry- ing 170 pounds of solid flesh, he has dark curly hair and a florid countenance. He cruised through four years at Boston College High, (his ancestors were maritime leaders), was an active member in the sodality and assisted in the make up of the class year book. Here on the Heights, Mr. Lawless has been known as a gentleman about town, a crooner of some note, always out- standing in his studies. He dislikes intensely egotists, physiology, John Barrymore and Elaine Barry. Ned Brant at Carter, Li ' l Abner, and Orphan Annie are his favorite comic strips. The government classes of Mr. Doyle have made a profound impression upon Joe. The Fordham trips, the Michigan State game and various social events will also remain in Joe ' s memory for years to come, as outstanding events in his college life. We who have known Joe Lawless through both high school and col- lege, have a feeling that in his ambition to at- tain a high State or City position, he will not only succeed, but in so doing, will reflect the education he has received and stand forth as a model Boston College Man in civil affairs. EDWARD FRANCIS LAWTON, A.B., 60 Pearl Street, Charlestown, was born on Columbus Day, 1913, in South Boston. At an early age Buss discovered Charlestown, sailed away and left Southie far astern. As a bouncing young- ster, he bounced over to Boston College High School, and bounced back to Bunker Hill daily. When he had received one genuine B. C. High diploma, Buss started his collegiate career on University Heights. He has been a member of the Sodalities conducted by Father Quinn and Father Harding; as a Histor y Academician, he has given many an exegesis on diverse and in- volved subjects. In Junior Buss joined the Economic Academy, but with the wisdom of a Senior he left the Economic world for the Ethical sphere. It is quite evident that he has the good of Charles- town at heart for, as Undergraduate Representa- tive of that renowned locale, he has managed to inject pep into the whole town, even into that noble pile of granite, called the Bunk House Monument. In the Fall of 1934 Buss embarked on a voyage down to Baltimore to watch the Boston College- Western Maryland game. Last year he sped over to Manhattan to gaze on tlie Eagle Ram encounter. Times Square, Broad- way and such. Although he enjoyed these brief vacations, he readily admits that neither Balti- more nor Gotham can compare with the Hub of the Universe as a place to inhabit. As yet Buss is uncei ' tain as to which line of endeavor he will pursue as his life long pursuit. 93 SAMUEL J. LEA VIS, JR., 35 School Street, Somerville, Mass., entered Boston College as a graduate of St. John ' s High School. Upon en- tering, he chose the B. S. course and has suc- cessfully completed its rigorous requirements. In class, Sam has always manifested an eager and earnest desire to master any course, and this concentration upon an undertaking is a quality greatly to be desired. Apart from class, Sam has participated in Sodality, the Glee Club and the Knights of the Test Tube. In addition, he has taken part in all class functions, college activities and has been at all times a loyal supporter of all college undertakings. Sam has made numerous friends in his own class and among the other members of the Heights, and his classmates have particularly appreciated his friendly nature and the generous cooperation which he has always extended to them. Among his most pleasant memories of the Heights, Sam will always remember the Ford- ham trip and the trips with the Glee Club. Sam has always been particularly interested in the study of chemistry, and in future years the ex- ercise of this acquired knowledge will, in the opinion of his many friends, bring him well- deserved success; while his friendly manner, versatility and determined concentration on any subject will surely bring him an equal measure of happiness. ROBERT LESTER LEVINE, B.S., 99 Essex Street, Chelsea, was born September 13, 1913, in Boston. His scientific degree is in Biology. He was graduated from the Chelsea High School where he was a participator in dramatics and musical entertainment and a speaker at various class functions. He now stands 5 feet, 4I 2 inches, weighs 135 pounds. He is dark, short and not too stocky, with a slim, keen face and a quick, searching look. His Hebrew ancestors were either in the clergy or in the teaching pro- fession. Most people call him Bob, but a few on occasion call him Cardinal. He is good-natured and usually smiling. He can take a joke and still keep on smiling. At times he can become very serious especially when his work is concerned. He collects old books and has a fondness for watching musical groups. His fingers are talented for tickling the ivories on a piano. He likes a good drink, a good dance, and RadclifFe girls. He hates a boring party. His favorite memory of his college career concerns the B. S. banquet at the Touraine. At present he is Director of Recreational Activities in Chelsea. A staff of seventy is under his supervision and dependent on his signature on their paychecks. He was a member of the Pre-Med Seminar. He intends to be either a doctor or a social worker. For that reason he will enter either a medical school or a social science school. 94 PAUL CHARLES LEONARD, A.B., 62 Bow- doin Avenue, Dorchester, was born in Dorches- ter, on June 30, 1914. As a lad, he studied Latin and Greek at Boston College High School, found the Jesuits a likeable group, decided to spend four more years in their midst. With the smallest grain of reluctance, he took his diploma, departed from James Street, began his career as a Boston Collegian. His Freshman year on the Heights was rather ordinary, but Sophomore year was the outstanding event of his life. Under Eather Quinn, Pete studied Latin and Greek, found that Hamlet and Mac- beth were really and truly human beings, be- came a faithful Sodalist. In his Junior year Pete dropped most of his extra-curricula activi- ties, endeavored to concentrate as a swarm of test tubes, microscopes and guinea pigs from the Pre-medical Laboratory assailed him. Early in the Autumn of his Senior year Pete managed to escape from microscopes and guinea pigs long enough to gaze on the strangest of all laboratory creations: the Ram Eordhamiensem, as it cavorted about the Polo Grounds of Gotham. After taking his Bachelor of Arts degree back to Dorchester, Pete will ponder on the relative merits of four years at a medical school against more years in a laboratory cutting atoms into seventeen parts. Pete spends much of his spare time collecting rare old pipes from all corners of Dorchester; he spends the rest of his time puffing on his Missouri Meerschaums and T. D. ' s, over a tome or volume anent some- thing or other. GEORGE JOSEPH LOVETT, JR., 39 Garfield Street, Cambridge, graduated from the Cam- bridge High and Latin School. George is one member of the B.S. Course who in spite of its confining hours always found time for a num- ber of extra-curricular activities. During his career at college he was a prominent member of the Playshop, Sodality, Physics Seminar and the Glee Club and was foremost in all their activities. However, George ' s outside activities did not prevent him from becoming one of the leading students in the B.S. course. He success- fully mastered the various branches of Physics in which he specialized, and in completing an advance course he shall again demonstrate his scholastic ability. George ' s classmates will all remember his affable personality and friendly nature which gained for him his numerous groups of friends. Certainly we all shall remember his ability to undertake and efficiently complete various tasks. If success in the past is any indication of future accomplishments, we feel safe in predicting that George will be completely successful in his chosen field. His achievements in the B.S. course have demonstrated his scholastic ability, his various extra-curricular activities have shown tliat he can carry an undertaking through to a satisfactory conclusion and his pleasing personality are all characteristics which will go far to assure future success and happiness. 95 JAMES JOSEPH MACKLIN, JR., B.S., 12 Crescent Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, en- tered Boston College from Cambridge High and Latin School. Jim was a prolific reader and this aptitude truly enlightened his personality, for his extensive knowledge as regards various subjects explained his conservative nature and resulted in the extensive groups of friends which he possessed while at The Heights. As a student Jim selected the difficult B. S. Course, and specialized in biology. His suc- cessful completion of this course afford future security when seeking to fulfill his ambition, which is to enter the medical profession. While mastering his course, Jim found time to par- ticipate in the Pre-medical Academy and So- dality, in which activities, the manner in which he cooperated amply testified to his industrious and sincere nature. He was invariably present at all class activi- ties and displayed a fine class spirit, aiding as an individual in establishing the record which our class attained. When one converses with successful business men a person is constantly impressed by their advice as to how to meet people with ease and to create friendship. This attribute is inherent in Jim, and when ac- companied by his industrious and intelligent manner it is evident to a ll that future life awaits his successful entrance. DONALD RICHARD MacMILLAN, Ph.B., 40 Ruthven Street, North Quincy, was born in Bos- ton. The gentleman in question is not the re- nowned seeker of sub-Arctic regions, but a very pleasant chap from the vicinity of Quincy. Don is a very modest youth standing five inches over five feet and bearing the burden of his one hun- dred thirty-five pounds very gracefully. His philosophic mien has often led his enemies to accuse him of dreaming in class. At Thayer Academy he belied his quiet ap- pearance by starring in golf and track. His matriculation at B. C. found him enrolled in the pre-medical course, devotion to which robbed him, however, of much time for outside activi- ties. Socially though he is a lion. He proved to be the only member of his party at the Junior Prom who did not have to get up the next morn- ing. Hence all arrived home at five A. M. (Don was chauffeur.) Don also has set an unbeatable record in ar- riving at class with a minimum of time to spare. He has been a constant source of wonder to his fellow students by his dexterity in arriving just in time to foil the Professor from listing him among the absent. Really it is no mean achieve- ment to foil some Professors. We are not given any hint of what the future has in store for Don, but whatever it shall be, we know he will face it with his customary good humor. 96 WARREN STEPHEN MacMILLAN, Ph.B., 40 Ruthven Street, North Quincy, was born June 22, 1909, in Boston. He went to Mechanics Arts High School, learned mechanics, arts, donned a track uniform, won many a race for the Artisans. From Boston he moved all the way to North Quincy, entered the business world, finally de- cided that a college degree would enable him to attain success earlier. He entered Boston Col- lege in September 1932, began a four year career of astounding Quincy lads, by driving to school in a different car every week. When his lessons were finished, he went down to the shooting range, shot his way to a position on the Rifle Team. One of Warren ' s hardest jobs on the Heights was explaining Boston College ' s telegraphic vic- tory over West Point in 1933. When he in- advertently admitted that the telegrapher was a Boston College graduate, he found it hard to maintain the honor of the Rifle Team any longer. He was active in the foundation of a potent Bos- ton College Club in Quincy and served on sev- eral of its committees. He recalls the Michigan State debacle as the most outstanding single event on the Heights for him, although he claims that the entire four years were exceptionably en- joyably after a whirl in business. After he graduates Warren will return to the world of finance he forsook four years ago, speed to the top of the situation, spend his spare time at the Quincy B. C. Club and at some pond cutting the figure 1936 on the ice. CHARLES ANDREW MAGNER, A.B., 19 Mapleton Street, Brighton, was born June 5, 1914, in Hingham. After spending two years at Hingham High School, he decided that he had received sufficient rural education, moved to Brighton to get some metropolitan training at Brighton ' s gothic high school. When he had been handed his high school diploma, he con- cluded that he should get a Bachelor of Arts degree some place, figured that gothic Boston College was the place. Shortly after he entered the college he joined the Marquette Debating Society, argued and debated for two years there, then graduated into the Fulton, where he argued his own oratorical endeavors on the Heights, and debated for two more years. Influenced by Charlie intends to go to some law school for two or three years ; after that he will practice law for a decade or so, then reverse the situation and listen to other advocates practice from a soft seat behind the judge ' s bench. When idle minutes hang heavily on his hands, Charlie likes to listen to the sweet tunes of Guy Lombardo ' s Royal Canadians, or Tommy Dor- sey ' s lads, or any other famous dance band. If he feels exceptionally legal and ambitious he buries himself behind a tome dealing with re- nowned lawyers and potent statesmen. After a quick review of his college days, he claims tliat the most notable incident was the Philomatlieia Ball last January. Probably because it is the duty of a jurist to guard against every pos- sibility, Charlie is endeavoring to insure success in the bar examination. 97 FRANCIS EDWARD MAGUIRE, A.B., 68 Wal- nut Street, Lowell, was born December 7, 1914, in Lowell. He was graduated from Keith Acad- emy in Lowell where he took part in musical activities and was a Cardinal O ' Connell medal student. He is short, standing 5 feet, 4 inches, but well built, weighing 155 pounds. He is dark and wears glasses. His conversation comes in quick, humorous sentences. He is noted for his witticisms at other people ' s expense and especially on the riders in his local limited from Lowell. But he can take a joke with a very hearty laugh. He always drives a Chevrolet of the current year ' s model. Every- day he could be found stopped on his way home in Billerica and Tewksbury. He used to dislike waiting to drive home late lab men. He was a member of the Marquette and of the Economics Academy. For four years he was one of the best known members of the Musical Clubs, be- longing both to the Orchestra and the Glee Club. He will always remember the football and musi- cal trips to New York and the dances at the Centre Club in New York. He is fond of taking motor trips to New York at any time. The conversation in the cafeteria was especially enjoyable to him. He liked the MacMillan brothers very much and thoroughly enjoyed Professor Harry Doyle ' s digressions of humor. Dancing and tennis are his hobbies. He wants to be a success as a teacher and music supervisor. FRANCIS XAVIER MAHONEY, A.B., 8 Wetherell Street, Newton Upper Falls, was born November 27, 1914, in the city where he now dwells. In 1932 he graduated from Newton High School and decided he could obtain a de- gree without leaving the city. After four years at the Heights, he declares the cultural course practiced by the Jesuits near perfection. Rea- son: an outstanding antipathy toward radio ' comedians. ' Frank recalls Sophomore as a most interesting year for during its course he was present at the Boston College debating triumph over Harvard and he enjoyed the ban- quet tendered Professor Ryan, Chemistry in- structor, on his departure from the College. He has been a member of the Sodality and Von Pastor, Boston College ' s History Academy, dur- ing his four years here. Frank has derived a great deal of interest and benefit from lectures by Father Gallagher, Father J. F. X. Murphy and Father Connelly of the Heights and Father Kelley of Weston. He delves deeply into books and periodicals and enjoys the Essays of Emerson, the news interpre- tations of Pegler, the Encyclicals of Pope Leo, and the fact reporting of Time magazine. On the radio he is impressed by Boake Carter ' s com- mentaries and Father Charles Coughlin ' s sin- cerity. Frank has not thought much about the future, and he is undecided as to whether or not he will continue his career of degree collecting. His only ambition is an echo from the lips of Napoleon, the highest possible development of my talents. GEORGE FRANCIS MAHONEY, A. B., 7 Woodward Park Street, Dorchester, was born in Boston, October 1, 1913, a member of the famous Mahoney family, whom he resembles, all six feet of him. At Boston College High School he was a back on the famous State Championship football team, and captain of the baseball team. From James Street he went to Exeter where he was an honor student and an outstanding athlete. As a freshman at Boston College, George found that his class had no ball team so he started one himself, defeating Dean, St. John ' s Prep, Providence and many others. For the next three years he was a regular end in the fall and an infielder in the spring. George was the class representative in Athletic Association as a freshman, vice-president in both sophomore and junior years, and was a mem- ber of the Senior Philomatheia Ball committee. George is popular not only at Boston College, but in the whole East. Louis Mercier was in New Orleans two summers ago talking to a dyed-in-the-wool Southerner when he happened to mention that he went to Boston College. Is that so? drawled the Southerner, beginning to show interest. Do you-all know George Mahoney? Despite a playful interest in accounting, he will study law next year. JOHN JOSEPH MAHONEY, JR., A.B., 86 Clark Avenue, Chelsea, was born May 29, 1914, in Chelsea. From his native town Buck traveled to distant Boston College High School. While at the James Street Academy he felt a yearning to act; consequently he cavorted about the rickety stage in Hamlet and Julius Caesar. After receiving one certified James Street Sheep- skin, Buck threw his buskins into the Chelsea Creek, and set out for the Towers of Boston College. September 1932 saw him climb the Heights for the first time ; immediately he started circling the track. He gave up track after nearly a year circling the boards. In his Sophoinore year Buck sailed over to the Bronx to see Boston College play Fordham. In Junior he sailed down to Western Maryland to hear the Eagle screech again. In Senior he sailed over to the Bronx to see Times Square, Forty Second Street, Harlem, Radio City, the Polo Grounds. Buck has been a faith- ful member of the Sodality for four years and last year he showed his spirit by directing Chel- sea ' s Catholic Action from a position on Father Russell Sullivan ' s Central Council. When Buck has a few moments to waste he amuses himself at the pianoforte, but aside from this his musical talents are nil. After he re- ceives his A.B. degree, Mr. Mahoney intends to receive an M.A. degree, then devote his time to teaching young Chelsea-ites about Boston Col- lege, Gotham and Western Maryland. 99 THOMAS DONALD MAHONEY, A.B., 51 Ellery Street, Cambridge, was born in that city on November 4, 1913. He is tall and dark, stands 6 feet, 1 inch, weighs 160 pounds. He was graduated from the Cambridge Latin School. Tom has had a very busy four years. In Freshman he was elected to the office of class secretary, and so excellent a hand had he, that he held tliat position throughout his college course. Tom had one great ability: always to say the right thing at the right time. No pro- fessor ever made him lose one iota of that savoir faire. Despite the fact that Tom worked during his four years here, he found time to slip on tennis shoes, and lend his skill to the tennis team ; also, to sit in deep contemplation amidst the battle of words at the Fulton. And for three years he has worked, with all the dignity and pomp of that office, as a class marshal on Commence- ment Day. In Freshman and Sophomore, Tom would invariably enter the first class late. But with his usual savoir faire he made the in- structor ashamed even to consider asking for an explanation. However, not even Tom passed the stronghold of Father Tobin ' s physics lecture room after the bell. For transportation to classes, Tom depended on the good will of students traveling via Har- vard Square. He and the clock were the stable landmarks by which doubtful students, Boston College-bound, knew that they were on the right course. VINCENT WILLIAM MAHONEY, A.B., 31 Laurel Street, Lowell, started his interesting career January 26, 1913, in the very city he now calls home. He went to Lowell High School, where he starred in tennis for four years, and managed the football team for one year. After graduation, he went to St. Philip ' s Preparatory School for one year; then he sought his A.B. at Boston College. Daily for four years he has made the long trek from Lowell to Chestnut Hill and back again. Although his Irish forbears were noted for their wrestling prowess, Vin finds tennis a more suitable outlet for his energy. In Junior, he decided he might as well run around the track every day; he continued this policy right through Senior and found that it was a profitable complement to the tennis cap- taincy. Vin is the vice-president of the Boston College Club of Lowell and a real B. C. rooter; he is eager to see the Heights crowded with a stately group of Gothic buildings, and nothing pleases him more than to inspect the plans of the completed Boston College. He has a hearty dislike of football engagements with one Ford- ham University. He finds sociology the most interesting of the sciences, pedagogy next. As yet he is undecided as to which course he will follow: delving into the archives of sociological research or teaching young lads how to play tennis and to think. 100 WILLIAM HOWARD MALONE, B.S., 74 Atlantic Street, Winthrop, was bom March 23, 1913, in Winthrop. His scientific degree is in Chemistry. He was graduated from the Win- throp High School where he was a trackman. He stands 5 feet, 9% inches, weighs 140 pounds. He has dark hair and blue eyes. He likes spinach, but dislikes debating and all other forms of bull throwing and bull baiting. Among his nicknames are Bill, Slugger, Buster, and Punch. In four years he gradually became used to five o ' clock labs. The Stylus printed one of his stories. He has been one of the most important members of the Knights of the Test Tube. He ran on both the one and two-mile relay teams. Frank Delear wrote in Cinder Dust that in the 1936 dual meet with Maine, It was plucky Bill Malone who supplied the big thrill of the 600, as he closed fast over the final 80 yards to nip Maine ' s ace, Sid Hurwitz, for second place. His biggest thrills in college came when he led off for the two mile relay team in the March 1935 Indoor IntercoUegiates and when he ran on the mile team which set and holds the college record. He intends to get a Master ' s degree and then some day in the misty future a Ph.D. in the Boston College Graduate School. He wants to teach chemistry, to coach track, and some day be able to serve caviar and champagne. JAMES JOSEPH MANNING, A.B., 9 Rockland Street, Newton, was born July 15, 1912, in Bos- ton, although he now makes his home in New- ton. Jim stands about 5 feet, 9 inches, and weighs in the neighborhood of 150 pounds. A rabid sports fan, it was not novelty to witness Jim in attendance any time that Boston College was engaged in some athletic contest or other. Although he did not go out for athletics here, he played baseball in high school at Our Lady ' s in Newton. Here on the Heights Jim ' s extra- curricular activities were confined to active mem- bership in the Sodality for the entire four years and Senior year in the Ethics Academy. Man- ning ' s character involved something of a para- dox for to all appearances one of the most serious members of the class, he was neverthe- less one of the first to see the point of a joke and last to stop laughing. He is an active proponent of Catholic Action in connection with Our Lady ' s High Alumni Association and Newton chapter of the Boston College Alumni Association, being an officer in both of these very active Newton organizations. During the recent Newton elections Jim per- formed yeoman ' s work in the cause of the right. How we know this would surprise Jim in no un- certain fashion. Keep up the good work, Jim, and next time may your party be successful. 101 CHARLES THOMAS MARSO, B.S., 2 Woods Court, Natick, was born August 21, 1913, in Natick. He marked time until he was old enough to go to high school, after that he spent four years striking out all opponents of Natick. He did not confine his high school work to twirling but added his voice to the uproar of the Glee Club. When he had pitched his last game for the high school, he went to St. John ' s Prep School, prepared for a college career of science in the laboratory and on the diamond. Charlie had no difficulty making the freshman team, little difficulty maintaining his place on the Var- sity for three years. His most exciting moment on the Heights came the day he went in and set down the Fordham batsmen with startling rapidity. He was a potent element in the scientific research of the Knights of the Test Tube. After a hard day in the laboratory and a victory on the ball field, Charlie walks miles through the country to some barnyard, proceeds to ring a few horse shoes. After graduation he will stay on the Heights to get his M.S. degree, then he will divide his time between teaching the theories of Einstein to young Natick Scholars and teaching the rudiments of Johnsonian pitching to young Natick athletes. JOHN PATRICK MARTIN, A.B., 8 Franklin Street, Chelsea, was born April 26, 1912, in Chelsea. He prepared at the Chelsea Senior High School and at St. Philip ' s Prep. After that he trekked gaily up the Heights to the Gothic towers crowning them. He now stands 5 feet, 6 inches, weighs 190 pounds. His hair is a dark brown, his eyes blue. He is stockily built and carries himself well. He is known for his ability to smile and his frequent use of that ability. His classmates consider him to be a very good-natured person. His abilities are varied enough to make him adept at doing practically anything. The radio and all that it pours out of its loudspeaker con- stitute one of his principal hobbies. He also is very much interested in old books and in de- tective stories. Noise jars on his smiling soul. He prefers quietness accompanied by a good book or by good conversation. Makers of noise and all talkative persons bring down his dislike upon themselves. He intends to take an M.S. degree and then to use it in finding a very good position. 102 FRANCIS WADSWORTH McCARTHY, Ph.B., 65 Ardale Street, Roslindale, was born May 10, 1913, height 5 feet, 10 inches, weighs 140 pounds, brown hair, brown eyes. At English High Frank was a cheerleader, a cadet captain, a member of the Dramatic Society and the Edi- tor of the English High School Magazine. From the high school which Mack considers the best in the country he came to the college which he knows is the best in the country. Here on the Heights Mack ' s social and club career has marched ahead. He has been a Sodalist all four years, a member of the Physics Seminar for the past two and a member of three Sub Turri staffs. Frank was also a member of the Com- munion Breakfast Committee which gave our class its big start on Junior Week. As a physicist he has always been outstand- ing. Why shouldn ' t he be? Frank has dwelt on nothing but the aspects of quantity for the past four years. When he isn ' t in the Physics Class he ' s weighing spinach at a local grocery. In praise of Father Tobin ' s classes, let it be said that Mr. McCarthy has never given anything but honest and exacting weight. Next fall Frank will probably journey across the Charles for an M. S. in Physics. Then I suppose we ' ll only see him at Alumni Retreats and Holy Cross Games. But since these are his favorite events, we ' re sure of a few places he ' ll be in the future. PATRICK ALOYSIUS McCARTHY, A.B., 32 Auburn Street, Brookline, was born on May 28, 1915, in Charlestown. His height of 5 feet, 10 2 inches, weight of 150 pounds, light blond hair, and blue eyes, lend weight to his claim to descent from Irish kings. Mac or Pat if you will — he doesn ' t mind, prepared at St. Mary ' s High School, Brookline, where he followed a Classical course, including Greek and whence he marched, to storm the Heights. He refuses to say much about himself so let ' s look at the record. Pat made himself known as a member of the Sodality for four years, the Von Pastor Historical Society, the Boston Col- lege Club of Brookline, the Law Academy (where he earned the undying love and admira- tion of Pete Alukonis. Pat never did have to be bribed, begged, or coerced to attend), and as an infallible baseball prophet and general genial soul. Of late though he has been seen with Lally ' s Square-Shooters and is eyed a bit askance by those who are told that as a mem- ber of that noisy aggregation he is a dangerous shot. He doesn ' t like fussing and always tries to get places early. A steady tennis player, and one of the best of our numerous after-class tag football aces, he has otlier hobbies — swim- ming and golf. He considers the Christmas holiday retreat at Cohasset with Fr. Tivnan the most memorable event of his college career. 103 WILLIAM FRANCIS McCONNOR, A.B., 96 Utah Street, Lawrence, was born August 19, 1914, in Lawrence. He went to Lawrence High School, played football, baseball, debated for the School Debating Society. After he was given his diploma he decided that it was an incomplete substance, that a college degree was necessary to make it complete. He claimed that he had a slight Irish brogue, but a few years in the French Academy gave him a pure American twang. He was a member of Father Quinn ' s Freshman-Sophomore Sodality; he added figures in the Business Club and in Senior he joined the studious Marshal and White Law Academy, listened to lectures by successful barristers. Bill does not intend to study law, however. He will let well-enough alone, plunge im- mediately into the whirl of Lawrence financial affairs. When he looks back over his Heights ' career, he remembers the Boston College vic- tories, over Fordham in Freshman, over Michi- gan State in Senior as most outstanding for him. After he has won a niche in his local stock ex- change. Bill will retire, spend summers sailing a yacht, swimming channels; in the Fall he will return to the Heights, cheer the cohorts of his Alma Mater on to more victories over Fordham and Michigan State. WALTER JOYCE McDONOUGH, A.B., 5 Howe Street, Dorchester, was born in South Boston of Irish ancestry, some twenty-one years ago. At Boston College High School he was a quiet fellow, spending most of his time getting high marks, learning how to smoke, and laugh- ing and talking with his three friends, John Paget, Dutch Goggin, and Dutch Goggin ' s Essex sedan with the rear door hanging off. The Pre- medical course has prevented him from taking part in Boston College extra-curricula activity of a very official nature. A hard-working life guard at Salisbury in the summer (he never has to go in after anyone, be- cause he forbids them to go near the water in the first place), he conducted a course in life- saving among the undergraduate body this year. The senior class selected him as Class Comedian this year. Walter plans to study medicine next year, that is, on the nights when he isn ' t sitting around and chatting at Joe Gee ' s. 104 RICHARD LEO McGINNIS, 96 School Street, Milford, was born in that town, February 2, 1914. He prepared at Milford High School, where he excelled in several fields: football, basketball, debating, and dramatics. On com- ing to the Heights, Mac became a member of the Frosh football and track squads. His other extra-curriculum activities included: Sodality, Glee Club, Von Pastor, and the Economics Academy. He was elected president of the B. C. Club of Milford. Dick towers 6 feet, 1 inch, and weighs 170. He was one of the chief in- stigators in the kidnapping of John Roche. Dick ' s hobbies are tennis and golf. He likewise has a weakness for Ford touring cars. The girls from Manhattanville give Dick an acute pain. But Regis girls hit the spot. The Fordham trips and Monday at the Met will be his choice reminiscences in days to come. Mac ' s pet ambition is to fly an aeroplane be- tween the Tower and the Science buildings. He hopes to see B. C. take the silver lining from the Rose Bowl. After receiving his A.B. degree, Dick intends to further his education at Harvard Business School. EDWARD MICHAEL McGOVERN, Hartwell Road, Bedford, entered Boston College from Lexington High School. Upon entering Ed chose the B.S. course and specialized in Physics. As a student he attained success both in his chosen scientific studies and in all other courses which he undertook. Ed ' s pleasant and friendly personality made him numerous friends at the Heights, despite the confining hours of a B.S. course. An ardent supporter of college activities whether of a scholastic or social nature, he took active part in Physics Seminar and Sodality and at class functions and college sports. When his future endeavors to master an ad- vanced course of Physics are begun, his success has been practically assured by his accomplish- ments at Boston College. Certainly Ed ' s self- composure at all times, his friendly nature and natural ability assure for him success in what- ever pursuit of life will fill his future years. 105 PAUL THOMAS McGRADY, A.B., 29 Harring- ton Street, Watertown, was born in that town, January 20, 1913. When but a mere lad of eight, he began to play the famous Scotch game of hit and go look. Since those early short- pants days, he has won a trio of tournaments in caddy competition. He attended Watertown High where he captained the golf team and showed his wares as a thespian. Boston College found him ever an eager golf devotee. In Freshman, he and Fred Moore won a four-ball medal play at Woodland. His skilled play merited for him the captaincy and managership of the team. Paul is desirous of becoming an English professor. In preparation for this vocation, he will work for his A.M. de- gree in the graduate school. Mac stretches 5 feet, 10 inches and gives his weight as 148. He claims Irish ancestry and asserts that the fighting blood of his sires occasioned the winning of the Spanish-American War. His favorite amusement is to squelch any student of Philos- ophy from the Hills of Hanover. His pet hate is artificiality and an attitude of superiority in anyone. To be remembered are: the Fordham trip of ' 33, the victory over Michigan State in ' 35, Gil Dobie ' s appointment, and Southern trips with the golf team. JOSEPH HERMAN McHUGH, A.B., 5 Wen- ham Street, Forest Hills, was born April 7, 1912, in East Boston. Because he was neither a gambler nor a jockey, but rather a scholar and a gentleman, little Joe persuaded his folks to move from Suffolk Downs ' locale, to establish themselves in a suburb where he could reach Boston College High School without demanding too many transfers from sleepy Boston elevated conductors. Joe hustled through the James Street Prep School, studying, attending Sodality and kicking a football on his way. After his classes in the Arts and Sciences at Boston College, were over, he attended Sodality, sped around the track as a member of the Health Squad. Occasionally a moustache of noble pro- portions and vivid hue broke out on his upper lip; not one accustomed to listen to uncouth buf- foonery anent such an appendage, he joined the Spanish Academy, used it with deadly skill as an Apologia pro mustachia sua. In his leisure time Joe liked to follow all the sports on the Heights, the more prominent ones in the pro- fessional sphere. He was also a song fancier and boasts of a huge catalogue containing the titles of every song ever published. After he has tacked up his Bachelor of Arts degree Joe will spend no more time in school, but will begin the life long task of decorating his walls with bright green degrees issued by the U. S. Treasury Department. 106 JOHN JOSEPH McLaughlin, a.b., 23 Neponset Avenue, Dorchester, was born April 10, 1914, in Dorchester. He stands 5 feet, 10 inches, weighs 145 pounds. Jack is the boy with red cheeks and a big smile. What he is smiling about, no one knows. Perhaps he reads Schopen- hauer at night and meditates on him throughout the day. Mac prepared for Boston College at Boston College High whence come many to the Heights. In high school Jack enjoyed riding home in the trolley cars. It is an old favorite with him. But the puerile whims of gone-by days have passed and now he takes great delight in second- hand Fords, preferably sport models, for Bill Stock can fix anything from a lollypop handle to a broken down Ford. Jack became interested in the Musical Club of which he has been a mem- ber and later he attained the office of vice-presi- dent. Perhaps it is the happy effect of music that causes Jack to smile. But Jack was not content with music alone, he had to have drama. In Freshman year Jack took part in Dick Whittington. Jack ' s ambition is to be a lawyer, and like most legal-minded fellows at Boston College, Mac joined the Fulton Debating So- ciety. In Senior, John J. was elected treasurer of the Debating Society. Such must be the esteem in which his fellow classmates held him. JAMES FREDERICK McTIERNAN, A.B., 46 Woodbine Street, Roxbury, was born April 23, 1914, in Dorchester. With an eye on the Heights above the Reservoir, he selected Father Mc- Govern ' s School for Boys on James Street as the best approach. Here he played a little football, debated on a few occasions, recited a poem each month as the Headmaster read his marks. After he graduated from Boston College ' s Preparatory Division, his faith in her Arts and Science Di- vision was still unshaken — a tribute to his con- stancy — and he hastened to enroll with the Class of 1936. On the Heights he did not continue his debating, but acted before the footlights instead, as a member of the Dramatic Club ; in Senior he strengthened his affiliation with stage by taking part in the renowned Play Shop offerings. One day in Junior he wandered onto the Rifle range, picked up a musket, accidentally fired it. When the bullet pierced the bull ' s eye, General Lally drafted him for active service. Since then Dead Eye McTiernan has proved himself an apt pupil in the art of winning telegraphic rifle matches. Jim also hunted for books in the mountainous book stacks of the Library and ex- cited the envy of Freshmen when he rode up and down in his private librarian elevator. After Jim becomes a Bachelor of Arts, he will remain on the Heights for another year, win his Master ' s degree. Then he will start his quest for a Mas- ter ' s position in tlie school system of Boston. — 107 DENIS FRANCIS MEHIGAN, A.B., 45 Locke Street, Cambridge, was born in Cambridge, on November 17, 1914. Shortly after his birth he was baptized and took on those many names which would make his full name one of the most rhythmical and sonorous sounding of all those in his class, if he dared publish them all. He was graduated from the High School of St. John the Evangelist. He stands 6 feet, 1 inch, weighs 160 pounds. His Irish ancestors were the fighting men who would have a name like his. His friends call him Toddy. Sports constitute his chief means of construc- tive leisure and he picks them as his hobby. After Boston College he likes Notre Dame, but frowns on Fordham and frowns still more severely at all the Houses on the Charles. His favorite memory of his college life con- cerns the trip he took over to New York to one of the Fordham games. In his senior year he joined the Law Academy and took part in its activities. His membership in this organization was significant for it foreshadowed his inten- tion to go to Law School. Gentleman farmer with private plane, ma- chine-gun equipped to take care of them thar pesky pataty bugs is the fading goal his lengthy arms will try to embrace. LOUIS FRANCIS VALLIOT MERCIER, A.B., 134 Brattle Street, Cambridge, was born in Washington, D. C, April 10, 1915. He spent his youth at Boston College High School, de- bating, acting for three years, and spending an occasional Saturday morning in jug with Nick Morris and Austin Brewin. In his freshman year at Boston College he played one of the leading roles in Captain Applejack, was on the track squad, and had a short story published in The Stylus. He has also been a member of the Marquette and the Fulton, Humoresque editor and man- aging editor of The Stylus, lead in the French Academy ' s production of Jean-Marie, Chair- man of the Communion Breakfast during Junior Week, and secretary of the Boston College Club of Brattle Street. This year he was editor-in- chief of The Stylus, news editor of The Heights. He plays golf and spends his summers in South Duxbury. At Boston College he has been re- sponsible for the large amount of news carried in the new make-up of The Heights. He has been known to assume strange names, such as Roy Gray and Harry Breen. He intends to enter the publishing business after commencement. 108 WILLIAM HENRY MERIGAN, A.B., 139 Con- don Street, East Boston, was born twenty-three years ago. He stands 6 feet, 1 inch, weighs 160 pounds. Passing through the Boston Public Schools, William was subjected to the Com- mercial Course at the East Boston High School, where he won a captaincy in the Boston School Cadets, and appointment as Associate Editor of the school magazine. The Noddler. The custom was to appoint a boy and a girl as Associate Editors in rigid compliance to equality of the sexes, etc. Bill ' s colleague besides being very easy to look at was the soul of tact, and could not praise enough the magnificent job William did in carrying the dummy to the printer. Bill then went to Boston College High for a year. Two years were spent at Boston College at the A.B. course. Then William decided to test the unemployment situation and took a year off from school. He found that unemployment led a very robust existence, was in fact impregnable. Returning to Boston College in 1934 he re- mained and is at present pointing toward the coveted A.B. in June. William ' s after school life has been spent in toiling for the Boston News Bureau. Thus he has been forced to forego extra-curricular activities whose value he does not deny. His extra-curricular activities have been limited to membership in the Sodality. EDWARD MICHAEL MERRICK, A.B., 18 Mount Ida Road, Dorchester, was born on the crest of Meeting House Hill, November 2, 1914. He is the fifth son in the family to graduate from Boston College High School and Boston College. Big Ned was an actor there. At Boston College he was almost elected President of the Freshman class. He has been an H. S. member for three years, has dabbled in dramatics and has played in the orchestra. Ned has also been a member of the Editorial Council of The Stylus, with his poetry and prose appearing in the pages of the literary magazine at regular intervals. In his senior year, however, he switched to the pre-medical course and he hasn ' t had time for much of anything else. Next year he hopes to enter the Boston University School of Medicine. Ned likes the records by Goodman and Dorsey in the cafeteria and dislikes the cafeteria itself. Most memorable incident in his college life was the football team ' s victory over Michigan State last fall. Ned is quiet, agreeable, smooth, and very well liked. He is tall (six three), large (one hundred and ninety- seven) and well-groomed (Richman Brothers). Ned doesn ' t say anything about it now, but once he was a cheer-leader. 109 FRANK ALBERT METZ, Ph.B., 31 Iowa Street, Roslindale, was born September 4, 1911, in Boston, Mass. He stands 6 feet, weighs 178 pounds. Mr. Frank Metz is better known to his classmates as the Man on the Flying Trapeze. By all manner of means Frank is a gymnast of great proficiency. Nevertheless, gymnastics are a mere sidelight with Frank ; his greatest interest lies in the studies of mathematics and physics, into which he seems to go deeper and deeper. Whoever will talk with Master Metz will be in danger of being walloped with the diabolical weapon of his, that short-cut to quick answers (so he tells us) his beloved slide- rule. There are few who equal Frank in his assiduous pursuit of physics. His intense interest in physics and in mathe- matics is such there is no doubt that he will achieve and realize his aspiration for a Master of Science degree in mathematics. But we can- not pass Frank ' s scholastic interests and achieve- ments without making mention of his apprecia- tion for German literature. Frank finds Ger- man a very captivating study and hopes to use it extensively in advanced scientific studies for which he has an ardent penchant. Frank can be remembered as munching on ice-cream cones trying not to hear what the great McCarthy is stammering forth in broken English. Frank is a well-built boy, being well developed from the arduous work spent in perfecting his Flying Trapeze Act under the direction of the Mac- Millan brothers, alias The Gold Dust Twins. KARL HENRY MIETHE, A.B., 65 Elder Street, Dorchester, was born July 16, 1933, in Boston. He comes from a pure German line of ancestry. From Boston Latin he entered Boston College in the fall of ' 32 and here he became quite prominent as a member of the Glee Club. He has overcome a difficulty that is present to all amateur singers, viz. to carry their own part. However, Karloff can bellow his lines with such constancy that he is heard above his tenor mates. He was one-fourth of the Campus Caroleers of Sophomore renown. The outstanding incident in his college life was that day in Freshman when the Rev. Russell M. Sullivan, S.J. (then dean — remember?) apologized to him. Karl is desirous of furthering his education to the attainment of an M.A. degree. He is especially adept at walking fences. He brings a very large lunch to school. (Hub Car- roll says he needs a trunk.) He has divers hobbies, chief among which is kayaking in his 18 X 22 boat. He revels in his garden, tropical fish, and in collecting Home magazines. He dislikes mackerel, short-cake, and radio drama- tics. He scribbled some terse limericks which were quite the rage in Junior. Karl stands five feet, eight inches and weighs 160. His pet am- bition is to prove the Darwin theory by swing- ing from the chandelier in the Tower. 110 CHARLES PATRICK MILLER, A.B., 1158 Adams Street, Dorchester, was born on January 21, 1914, at Newark, Ohio, of German-Irish ancestry. He is a graduate of Boston College High School, where he participated in debating and literary activities and held a position on the staff of the Renaissance in his Senior year. Charlie is 5 feet, 11 inches, weighs about 140 pounds, is rather slim, has a very light com- plexion, brown eyes, and very light brown hair. His college activities are varied. He has been a member of the tenor section of the Glee Club for the past three years, a member of the Fulton Debating Society — and was unanimously elected Censor of that society for the second term of his senior year, the last position in the world where one would expect to see the mild-mannered Charlie — and an active member of the Senior Sodality. He has also contributed to the poetry department of The Stylus. For a time he was a member of the newly established Latin Academy. His hobbies are dis- tinctive music and bow-ties. He has been seen wearing a four-in-hand tie on three distinct oc- casions. He likes Stefan Zweig ' s biographies and Shakespeare ' s dramatic works, and Cicero. He lists as memorable his trips to New York with the Musical Clubs. Charlie ' s intellectual abilities and his willingness to lend his services for an evening of entertainment, as well as his pleasant disposition, have made him very well liked by all who know him. He intends to enter law school after graduation. STANISLAUS BERNARD MILUSKEWICZ. A.B., 57 Cross Street, Boston, was born in Bos- ton, on June 16, 1915. Standing 5 feet, 10 inches, he is of medium build and possesses brown hair, blue eyes, a fair complexion. His Polish ancestors included judges of two coun- tries, army officers, and missionaries. Milk- shake, Milky, Obrien, or Stan, has a natural flair for comedy and has provided his class mates with many a riotous moment. He at- tended Boston College High, where his varied activities included track, basketball, oratory, and dramatics. However, during his sojourn on the Heights he confined his extra-curricular activities to track, to reading papers in the Economics Academy, and to the fencing squad. Stan spends his odd moments pursuing his favorite hobby, collecting bric-a-brac. He has an intense dislike for riding in street cars (that ' s the bloated capitalist in him), but loves to argue with his professors about Kant ' s philosophy. The most outstanding events in Stan ' s college career were the Intercollegiate Cross-Country run during Sophomore and the West Point meet the same year. The reason these events stand out so vividly in Stan ' s memory is that he took part in both of them. It is Stan ' s ambition to become a traffic manager for a large transportation company and a buyer for the firm. This is a distinctive ambition and to further its realization, he is going to secure a master ' s degree in business. Ill FREDERICK THOMAS MOORE, JR., A.B., 32 Bellamy Street, Brighton, was born May 18, 1914, in Brighton, Mass. He stands 6 feet, weighs 180 pounds, is called Abner. Fred prepared for Boston College at the Boston Pub- lic Latin School. In the Boston High School League he was tops in hockey. At Boston Col- lege his teammates elected Fred captain of the hockey team for the 1935-1936 season. He was prominent in athletics and social affairs through- out his four years at the Heights as he had been at Latin School. He was chairman of Junior Week. Fred played center on the Freshman team, and was center on the varsity hockey team and on the football team the three ensuing years. For four seasons Fred was one of the main cogs of the golf team. However, athletics are not the sole object of Abner ' s interest. During Senior year Fred served as a member of the Student Activities Council and as Honorary President of the Press Club, of which he was Vice-President in 1934-1935. In 1932-1933 and 1933-1934 he was a member of the Fresh- man-Sophomore Sodality. His personal selections of the outstanding events and most memorable incidents of his col- lege life are the Southern trips with the golf team, his being a member of the Freshman foot- ball team which defeated the Holy Cross Fresh- man team in 1932, and being on the team that defeated the Dartmouth hockey team. Fred was always taciturn, well-liked by his companions, and hard-working. THOMAS JAMES MOORE, A.B., 11 Fottler Road, Mattapan, was born February 21, 1913, in Boston. After deciding that he wished to prepare for a collegiate career, he enrolled at Boston ' s Public Latin School, studied diligently, read of Caesar ' s triumphs in Gaul, enlisted as a centurion in the Latin Legions of the Schoolboy Battalion. Instead of capturing any prisoners, he was himself captivated by Boston College ' s Gothic Towers, and immediately started his four year stay on the Heights. He was a faithful member of the Sodality for four years and took a great interest in the various topics which the Sodalists expounded during his last two years. He was a member of the late Economics Acad- emy before its untimely demise and a pioneer in the Business Club and Law Academy. In Senior he found that the Pre-law course was a most enjoyable and profitable course. When he is through with his scholarly endeavors, he is fond of long walks, enjoys discussions on politics and listens with great interest to such talks on the radio. When he is in the mood he reads the works of Willa Gather, Father Gillis and Fortune. Tom will readily admit that Father J. F. X. Murphy ' s lectures, in the scholastic line, and the frigid Eagle-Crusader clash in 1932 in the athletic line, were the two most outstanding events for him. After he receives his degree, Tom will spend a few years in the business woi ' ld before buying out some potent American Corporation. 112 RICHARD EDWARD MULCAHY, A.B., 20 Donzette Street, Wellesley, was born in Welles- ley on November 16, 1913. Despite the distrac- tions which a girl ' s town must have Dick passed through a happy and normal childhood to enter Wellesley High School in 1929. At this local high school Dick was very active in athletics. He was a member of the baseball, basketball and football squads. One of the outstanding mem- ories of his high school career was the Wellesley- Winchester High School basketball game in 1932. Dick played against Charlie Dolan in a hard fought game. Both were highly pleased to find they were classmates at the Heights. When Dick arrived at the Heights in the fall of ' 32 he immediately hustled out to the gridiron. Studies, however, were more demanding, and Dick hung up his cleats for the rest of his collegiate career. The football squad lost a red-haired end, but the pre-medical academy gained a brilliant member. For though he doesn ' t care for Psy- chology, Dick is enraptured over Biology. A sunny disposition is even warmer when he de- parts from the Biology laboratory. He enjoys Biology laboratory even more than he enjoyed the Fordham Trip in ' 35. That ' s saying a whole lot! A good tree beareth good fruit. Dick ' s hobby is leading him onward, and next year finds Mrs. Mulcahy ' s boy in Tufts ' Medical. JAMES JOSEPH MURPHY, JR., A.B., 742 Hancock Street, WoUaston, was born August 27, 1914, starting his earthly career in Quincy. He sped through all the schools Quincy had to offer and after due consideration surprised himself, so he claims, by passing the entrance examina- tion to Boston College. Daily for four years, at the helm of his automobile, he has piloted a motley crew of Quincy lads to the college on the Heights. Despite his Irish blood, Jim has a calm, easy-going disposition but was abashed at Orals. Jim helped establish the new Granite City Boston College Club. He enjoys a good football game, followed by a meal of roast beef and fudge sundaes, topped off with a sizzling round of ping-pong. He dislikes, among other things, cold eggs and haughty people. After aiming for two years at a career in the courts of justice, he changed his mind, and now believes that pedagogy is the thing for him. Rea- son: always an admirer of the Murphy gens and of the Jesuits, he proposes to emulate Reverend J. F. X. Murphy, S.J., and teach his- tory to wide awake, prospective Boston College boys. To accomplish this ambition, Jim intends to spend another year at the Heights, annex a Master ' s Degree to his A.B., and then take over the Chair of History at Quincy Senior High School. 113 JOHN ANTHONY MURPHY, A.B., 3 Academy Avenue, Bradford, was born May 11, 1914 in Haverhill. His ancestry, of Irish and American stock, included Irish kings and a general in the American Revolution. He was graduated from the St. James High School in Haverhill. There he played football, baseball, and hockey. He stands 5 feet, 11 2 inches. His hair is brown and curly, his eyes are blue, his complexion very fair. He is one of the smoothest talkers in the class. He plays the violin, the drum, and the viola and plays them all with ability. Elec- tricity and Chemistry are not burdensome studies to him. Instead they are hobbies from which he draws a great deal of pleasure. He likes to play and to watch football, and he likes to dance, especially with intelligent and beauti- ful women. His friends call him either General Murphy or J. A. He played freshman football and hockey. The memories indelibly lingering in his mind are of his Fordham trip, his Junior Prom, and the great flood of 1936 in his home town. Dur- ing his college career he was stricken by a mysterious disease and had a very narrow escape from death. His character is best re- vealed by his determination to repay his parish for the sacrifice it made to give him his educa- tion. JOHN JEROME MURPHY, A.B., 78 Fuller Street, Dorchester, was born September 19, 1913, in Cork, Ireland. Because he was a man of action, John chaffed at the inactivity of Erwin after the Black and Tan Rebellion, which he remembers very vividly. He is the first person to whom the Irish Free State issued a passport. He embarked for Boston, ended his trip on James Street, before Boston College High School. Thinking it to be a fortress, he de- termined to capture it. He crept through the door, right into the waiting grip of Father McGovern, who pushed him into the Freshman Class, refused to allow him to leave. Making the most of a desperate situation, John stayed and played football under the colors of the High School. By the time he was graduated, he liked his captors so well that he decided to spend four more years among them, at their branch office on the Heights of Newton. He was a member of the Sodality for four years; in Junior he joined the Economics Academy, but gave up Economy in Senior to join the Marshall and White Law Academy. That he is still a true Irishman is shown by the fact that he drives to the Heights in a bright green car with golden wheels. He enjoys all sports and likes nothing better than to trim some one on the tennis courts. When he receives his Bachelor of Arts degree he will drive down to Boston College Law School, pass his Bar Examinations, address all judges with Erin go bragh instead of Your Honor. 114 THOMAS HERBERT MURRAY, A.B., 223 West Street, South Boston was born December 8, 1908 in South Boston. He was graduated from the South Boston High School. There he helped put out the official newspaper of the high schooL After he came out of high school he worked for a time as a railroad clerk. Before starting back to school he attended St. Philip ' s Preparatory School. He stands 5 feet, V o inches, weighs 155 pounds. He is dark and very sturdily built. His Irish ancestors were very fine farmers in Ireland. Good books held his interest and read- ing them is his chief hobby. He dislikes all sorts of sham and bluff whether in men, in manners, or in advertisements. His friends call him Tom. He is very quiet and very reserved, but al- ways smiling. He remembers with great pleasure the acquaintances he has made with good pro- fessors. In college he was a member of the Pre-Medical Seminar. His choice of activity presaged his intention to go to medical school, his ambition is to be a good surgeon. THOMAS ALOYSIUS NAVIEN, JR., A.B., 180 Main Street, Waltham, was born in Watertown, Massachusetts, on July 29, 1915. As a boy he manifested social traits of pleasant nature which came to maturity when he entered St. Mary ' s High School in Waltham. While at St. Mary ' s Tommie displayed an intellectual prowess which has always been his strong point. Mr. Navien ' s son was a member of St. Mary ' s De- bating Society and the orchestra. Tom ' s career at the Heights has flowed along very smoothly. He is one of the younger members of the class of 1936. In his collegiate years he has been a very active Sodalist, along with his work in Von Pastor, Ethics Academy and Fulton. He always maintains a calmly efficient air. Tommy will talk about the thrills of col- lege life however. The greatest of these, in his estimation, was our first oral in Junior. Next among the things to be talked of was the Class ' s Junior Promenade. We agree heartily with Tom on this second item, though most of us are sorry that we didn ' t get his girl friend ' s ' phone number. Young Mr. Navien wishes to transfer his 5 feet, 8 inches, to a class room where his 150 pounds can rest comfortably in the pedagogue ' s chair. Tom has always ac- complished whatever he attempted, and no doubt his desire will be gratified. 115 GEORGE JOHN NAYMIE, JR., A.B., 262 Shawmut Avenue, Boston, was born in the metropolis, and there grew and grew until he reached the height of 5 feet, 8 inches and a weight of 150 pounds. He is of a dark com- plexion and is noted for that curly, black hair. He went to English High School where he bravely bore his trusty rifle in the yearly school-boy forced march. He decided at last to get a real education and so moved to the tower- ing Heights where he began the Arts course. George is the steady, earnest type of student who doesn ' t miss anything he should get. He early distinguished himself by winning public praise from Fr. Joseph Fitzgerald for his work in the Classics. But then, having been called by the strange name of Greek Shark , and not knowing what was indicated, George turned his attention to the field of Biology to remedy the deficiency of his knowledge in that respect. Thus he joined the ranks of the Bugologists at the beginning of his third year. Since then he has earned himself an enviable record in his chosen field. George will go to medical school and add an M.D. to his A.B. JOSEPH JOHN NOLAN, A.B., 87 Brook Road, Milton, was one of the most happy-go-lucky and best-liked chaps at the College. In Freshman he was rather serious and grim — but only in appearance. In reality he was perpetually laughing within himself. Since he travelled daily from the Blue Hills with Hubby Carroll, the reason is obvious. Yet in spite of his geniality Joe was quite a philosopher at heart, and to his very intimate circle he often philosophized at length about the miseries and deluding joys of this Vanity Fair. In class Joe was at his best when translating Homer. And despite the fact that he carried many a dusty tome around the campus, Joe managed to leave the ancients every time a social function was held. In Sophomore he had the courage to debate with Carl Thayer on such a delicate subject as Greek. Joe has always been faithful to his Homer, yet he saw no reason why he should continue to be so. By the class he was ever looked upon as a Lincoln. As a Senior Joe was the driver of the Milton Express; a large Packard whose passengers were familiar to all readers of the Transcript. After leaving the Heights Joe intends to go to the woods of Maine to perfect one of his many inventions — a top hat that automatically be- comes a felt, a derby, and again a top hat. 116 EDWARD JOSEPH NOON AW, JR., A.B., 70 Woodcliff Road, Newton Highlands, was born September 16, 1914, in Boston. He went to famed old Boston College High School, managed to keep on the Honor Roll for four years, wrote for the Botolphian, attended Sodality. When he left James Street, he headed for Chestnut Hill, reached it in time to be enrolled with the Class of 1936. On top of the Heights Ed spent one day a week debating or graciously listening to others debate; the second day of the week he went to the Business Club, showed Boston Col- lege Businessmen the advantages of the laissez- faire or laissez-unfaire systems. The third day of the week he went over to the Sodality Meetings. The rest of the week he disappeared from the Heights, believing that every scholar is entitled to disappear at least twice a week. He claims that his excursion to Manhattan Island to watch the cohorts of Boston College march into Fordham ' s Polish Corridor was the most outstanding occurrence of his Heights career. Ed enjoys swimming, rowing and sing- ing duets. Eor the first two diversions he often goes as far as the White Mountains of New Hampshire; for the latter, he is forced to go to the White Mountains of New Hampshire by an outraged Newton citizenry. After he graduates he will spend three years at Boston College Law School, pass the Bar Examination, hang out a shingle. JOHN JOSEPH O ' BRIEN, A.B., 18 Asticon Road, Jamaica Plain, was born August 9, 1914 in Boston. He received his preparatory educa- tion at the Boston Latin School where he was noted as a trackman. He stands 6 feet, 1 inch, weighs 175 pounds, and is descended from Irish ancestry. During his entire stay at Boston College he was a member of the Sodality. The most memorable incidents of his career on the Heights were the departures from the Gothic Citadels on those Heights to brave the Ram at the Polo Grounds in New York. Those trips and all the incidents in those trips and the me mories of those trips will linger in his mind. He was a member of the very hard working Pre-Med. group and worked so hard at his courses and attained such satisfactory results that he is going to the Tufts Medical School. After that he intends to practice as an able M.D. Then he knows that his patients will like him so well that they will be very satisfied to give those little stipends on which doctors always seem so insistent, just for coming, see- ing, and conquering (disease). ::7 JOSEPH FRANCIS O ' BRIEN, Ph.B., 39 Oak Street, Hyde Park, combines character, leader- ship, and courage. The best type of college man is Red O ' Brien, pilot of the team of 1935. It may have been a surprise to the sport- ing world in general when genial Joe was elected to captaincy but it was the most fitting tribute that his teammates could give to the earn- est retiring linesman who desired not individual glory but rather the honor and advancement of the team. His quiet loyalty of three years as a consistent and determined linesman did not fail to impress his fellows. This smiling general of the gridiron is a native of Hyde Park at which high school he distinguished himself as a football, hockey and track star. Upon entering Boston College Heinie, as he is known to his intimates, quietly and earnestly set about the task of winning a varsity berth on the football team. His diligence was rewarded and I am willing to wager much to his embarrassment he realized he had won the most coveted honor in the school, captain of the varsity eleven. I say to his em- barrassment, for Joe is quiet and very modest but his retiring nature cannot conceal his courage and endurance, traits which have won for him the respect of all who have had the good fortune to contact him. Good luck Joe and may you be rewarded just as suitably in life ' s battle as in football. EDWARD OCHS, A.B., 211 Brunswick Street, Dorchester, was born October 20, 1915 in Dorchester. He stands 6 feet, weighs 170 pounds, has wavy hair of the brown blonde color. His family voted for Roosevelt. His voice has a rather deep, husky quality which makes it very pleasant, especially when he is using it while co-operating with another person in doing something difficult. He does not wear white shoes. He was graduated from the Roxbury Mem- orial High School where he played football, helped on the magazine, took part in dramatics, and was a member of the student council. He is a pharmacist and likes to keep in contact with the latest discoveries in biology and pharmacy. Those responsible for the system of The Heights distribution come under his censure. He has himself been a member of The Heights staff. In addition he was a member of the Fulton, The Latin Academy, Dramatics, and tlie Pre- Med Seminar. He was recognized as an able student. His favorite memories are of his Pre- Meddling and of the days when the class read the Odes of Horace. He intends to specialize in biological research and go into instruction. 118 FREDERICK PATRICK O ' CONNELL, A.B., 155 Kilsyth Road, Brighton, was born at Wilkes- barre, Pennsylvania, June 5, 1914. Fred, also known to his intimates as Parky, Cousin, Okie, is one of the famous eleven reasons why his father should have been elected mayor of Boston. Raven-haired, blue-eyed, dark-com- plexioned, brawny-chested, Okie re minds us of the staunch old Irish warriors from whom he is descended. Every Irishman ' s ancestors were kings, and so there can be no truth in the rumor that his were sheep-thieves. And besides, Dan O ' Connell was no mean orator. Fred came to Boston College from Central Catholic High School, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, where he starred in football and swimming. Orations and swimming are hobbies. He has a fine sense of humor and a very genial smile. Like most of us, Fred dislikes the Fordham A. A. Officials. He is a very versatile chap, as can be seen by his college activities. In his first two years he was on the football squad, was a mem- ber of the Von Pastor Historical Society and was on The Heights staff. In Freshman he was a member of the Campion Club, in Sophomore he was a member of the Mai-quette. He took part in the musical ex- travaganz a, Dick Whittington. Outstanding memories are the trips to Baltimore and New York with the Western Maryland and Fordham games. Okie intends to enter business school and then enter a business career. JOHN VINCENT O ' CONNELL, A.B., 139 Lowell Street, Somerville, was born September 21, 1914 in Somerville. He stands 5 feet, 9 inches, has brown hair, grey eyes, and weighs 145 pounds. Oakie was the appellation by which he was known among the members of the exclusive Robin Hood Room. With uncanny skill, he always knew about fires that had oc- curred within a radius of thirty miles. Through- out his four years he entertained his auditors with endless adventures peculiar to the life of a spark. The fragrance of tobacco was sure clue to Oakie ' s whereabouts. A more excellent pipe, or a more suave piper was seldom seen on the campus during Freshman and Sophomore. Oakie was always the nonchalant man about town, but never more so than with a pipe between his teeth. In Junior, however, the pipe was cast aside. His all absorbing hobby was the discussion of the victory, or defeat, of old Siwash. The whys and wherefores of all games was his favorite theme. In Senior, he decided to allow the Ful- ton the enjoyment of his argumentative powers, which he derived from high school days. Like Demosthenes, he spoke with telling force before an apathetic gathering. During tlie last two years he was vice-president of the Boston College Club of Somerville, an office which he assumed with all the dignity that was his. He was always quite at ease leaning on tlie speaker ' s stand. Oakie was very reticent about his future plans. He need never worry, however. 119 JOHN BRENNAN O ' CONNOR, Ph.B., 5 Maiden Street, Quincy, is the genial gentleman from the city of quarries and motorcycle officers. Okie has been a familiar figure on the college campus for the past three years, invariably giv- ing one and all a cheery smile. A graduate of Quincy High School, John matriculated to Boston College with a firm resolve to gain a liberal education and to enjoy his years necessary in acquiring such education. John has been a familiar sight at all games, soirees and social functions of the class. His scintillating wit was well rewarded at the Junior Prom and it was with the greatest of difficulty he was persuaded to leave New York. New York inhabitants seemed to fancy the debonair youth from Boston. His activities on the campus were numerous and varied and included such academies as the Ethics and Economic academies, the Business Club and the Von Pastor historical society. His attendance at Sodality has been constant since Freshman and he can surely be noted in any gathering dis- cussing current topics of importance. John has decided to enter the teaching profession and with this in mind he has hopes of entering the college school of education in the fall. Good luck and well wishes John and may your career as a pedagogue be a distinct success and a source of credit to the college. TIMOTHY JOSEPH O ' CONNOR, 137 Trapelo Road, Belmont, entered Boston College from Cambridge High and Latin School. After enter- ing Joe chose the course of long hours, or as it is more called the B.S. course. His successful study in the fields of Chemistry and in all other requirements leading to his degree, has estab- lished Joe as a scholar amongst all members of our class. Apart from the hours required for any science course he found time to participate in such activities as Sodality, The Knights of the Test Tube and Chemistry Seminar. Most important in the opinion of all his classmates was his friendly personality and sincere nature. Amongst his own classmates and those with whom he became associated while at the Heights, Joe left an impression which future years can never erase. Whatever the presented occasion might have been, he was always willing to aid others. His most memorable incident at college was the Michigan State game, where his numerous prophecies were fulfilled. And just as this game may be set aside as one of his personal triumphs, so also it indicates his at all times. When Joe enters upon a study of advanced Chemistry or pursues some other occupation in life, his qualities and accomplishments assure his future success and happiness. 120 CYRIL HOWARD ODELL, A.B., 99 Raymond Avenue, Somerville, was born on August 18, 1914, in Chelsea. He stands 6 feet, P o inches, weighs 165 pounds, is tall, broad, and blonde. His ancestory was Canadian. For three years auditors in the lunch room were entertained by the anecdotes of Cy. His extraordinarily deep voice echoed far and wide. In Sophomore he had learned to distinguish between H20 and HCl. So pleased was he at this progress, that he then and there vowed to devote himself to Science. Yet, he managed to join many extra- curricular activities. Such widely divergent interests as the Rifle Squad and the conservative Economics Academy were his. He found time, too, to journey twice to Ford- ham, where his deep bass voice contributed greatly to the success of the Boston College cheering section. Cy was a versatile musician, especially gifted as a trumpeter. The wonders of Science were forgotten for the time, and Cy devoted himself zealously to all social functions at the vacations and holidays. Throughout the four years Cy was the genial chauffeur for those poor ones that lived in the wilds of Somerville. After graduation he plans to enter medical school. There he will spend his days and nights, that he may come forth as a director of some Hospital. ARNOLD JAMES O ' DONNELL, A.B., 28 George Street, Attleboro, first saw the light in Attleboro on October 18, 1914. To this very day he still makes his home way down there near Rhode Island and has won our unmitigated admiration for his remarkable endurance in that, for four long years twice a day, he has made this goodly jaunt by train. Perhaps, traveling on trains so much has made Rusty the expert bridge-player that he has become. Another one of his accomplishments is his abil- ity at cross-word puzzles. One of the first things that impressed us about Rusty during our formative Freshman days was his huge shock of vivid red hair. It never did keep in place then and more than likely it never will, but it helps to make Rusty in- dividual. His broad grin and ready ways quietly win ever everyone to him. During Sophomore, Rusty was one of the stalwarts who went in for track and did very well. In fact, it is rumored that he could be a three-letter man, if he had the time. It is Rusty ' s ambition to become a doctor and we can predict nothing but success in his chosen field of endeavor for a youth who coidd overcome both the rigors of a Pre-Med course and that daily round-trip from Attleboro. 121 ROBERT JOSEPH O ' HAYRE, Ph.B., 38 Wheat- land Avenue, Dorchester, was born in Charles- town March 3, 1913. He stands 6 feet, 2 inches, weighs 190 pounds, is tall and dark, with straight hair, blue eyes, and an aquiline nose. He came to us from Providence College. Smil- ing Bob O ' Hayre was an outstanding performer on the varsity team for two years and a great fellow on the campus. Bob is a native of Dorchester and a former student at English High School in Boston where he engaged in sports and made quite a name for himself on the dramatic stage. Upon entering Boston College, Bob proceeded to enjoy his college life to the fullest being in constant attendance at all social functions when his varsity competition would permit and rap- idly became one of the foremost students in the class. His desire to enter the profession of law prompted Bob to elect Law and Government to the consternation and confusion of good Pro- fessor Doyle who has been heard to admit that he wonders where so much wit can be stored even in a frame the size of Bob ' s. We know future generations will enjoy Bob ' s repartee and wit in the courtroom and we trust he will find all juries as responsive to his humor as have his fellow-classmates. JAMES EDWARD O ' HEARN, A.B., 174 Elliott Street, Newton, was born June 22, 1914 in Newton Upper Falls. He stands 5 feet, 6 inches, weighs 140 pounds. His voice is soft, deep, and slow, and shows a quiet personality. He chuckles frequently and sympathetically. His ancestors were Irish. His family includes a lovely cousin at Miss Wlieelock ' s. His hand is good either at smashing a tennis ball or digging carefully in a garden. He was grad- uated from the Newton High School, where he was a member of the English Academy. During his first year at Boston College he was on The Heights staff. For four years he was a member of the Sodality. In Junior he was an usher at Commencement, in Senior he was a member of the English Academy. For four years he was a member of the History Academy. In Junior he became the Vice-President, in Senior its President. As President he was responsible for one of the fin- est programs of activities in the history of the Von Pastor. He intends to go to graduate school. 122 JAMES JOSEPH O ' LEARY, JR., B.S., 192 Boylston Street, Jamaica Plain, was born in Roxbury, July 23, 1910. At Jamaica Plain High School he managed the track team, won many a race for the swimming team, received his diploma, entered Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. After mixing countless potions and lotions and formulae, he became a registered pharmacist. Druggist O ' Leary saw the luxur- ious leisure of medical men, decided to join their ranks at Boston College. For four years he ran for the Maroon and Gold, brought in- numerable cups to the Heights. For four Autumns he led the thunderous cheer- ing section as it goaded the Boston Behemoths on to victory. During his first two years he sang with the Glee Club, but dropped this activity when he discovered that it was affecting his cheer-leading vocals. He was a member of the Sodality and Dramatics for three years, address- ing that august body on several occasions, mod- estly accepting cheers which he did not officially direct. Wlien the weight of test tubes and scalpels becomes too oppressive, Jim steps out to some short nine hole golf course, cuts and slices across the fairways, furtively marks a 99 on his card. After Druggist O ' Leary becomes a Bachelor, he will enter Medical School, con- tinue cutting and slicing, furtively hope that his golf score will appear on all exaininations, emerge a genuine Doctor. THOMAS PHILIP O ' NEILL, JR., A.B., 74 Orchard Street, Cambridge, was born in that city on December 9, 1912. He attended St. John ' s High in Cambridge and then went on to Boston College High as a special student. In high school he played basketball, went in for dramatics, and was a inember of the Sod- ality. He stands 6 feet, 1 inch, weighs 215 pounds, and is every inch the famous Tip O ' Neill. In college he has been a faithful four year member of the Sodality and of the Von Pastor Historical Society. The Fordham trip in 1933 was the most memorable incident in his college career. He was one of the most prominent (vociferously) members of the Boston College Club of Cambridge. Last year he plunged into Cambridge politics and astounded the veteran Cambridge politicians by the run he made as a candidate for Alderman. He was barely defeated. As that campaign was his first he is more confident of success in the next. He intends to go to Engineering School and to keep active in politics until he is Mayor of Cambridge. 123 CORNELIUS WILLIAM OWENS, A.B., 4 Centre Street, Boston, was born Jnly 30, 1913 in Roxbury. He is 6 feet, weighs 180 pounds, has light brown hair, blue eyes and a sunny smile. He is a Pre-Medical student. He grad- uated from Boston English High School, where he starred in football and track. Neil is a very quiet fellow with a winning personality. He has never been known to say a harsh word either to or about anyone — which is really a unique achievement — and that is one of the reasons why he is so well liked by his classmates. There is no Senior who has a sunnier or more attractive disposition than Neil. He and George Maiocca are a great pair, as those of us who were in Junior A know full well. Neil ' s out- standing college activity is football. He has been on the team every year and is one of the varsity guards. He has been a consistently fine and steady lineman on Boston College teams that have vanquished Fordham, Michigan State, Centre, Villanova, Western Maryland and Holy Cross. Neil is Vice-President of the Boston College Club of Roxbury, one of the largest and most active of Boston College Clubs. Not only is he a fine athlete, but also a fine student. He is one of the Pre-Medical men in high scholastic stand- ing. Neil intends to go to graduate school to get an M.S. degree and then go into scientific re- search. JOHN FRANCIS PAGET, A.B., 16 Mapleton Street, Brighton, is one of those students who can take things as they come, overcome them, and continue unperturbed. The happy faculty which he possesses of judging everything in its right perspective and of never becoming excited over the trivial, has been the chief reason for John ' s successful years on the Heights. As a student John stood well; so well that he has been admitted to Tufts Medical School despite the fact that he has taken but one year of the Pre-Medical course. But to offset this seemingly serious side of his nature, the boy from Brighton is famous for another thing. He was the author of that exciting serial, The Saga of Footloose Olaf, which ran for many weeks in The Heights. John was a member of The Heights staff for three years, becoming Manag- ing Editor in Senior. Serving as captain and manager of the paper ' s football team, he led the newsboys to a glorious victory over their arch- rivals. The Stylus. This should bring him re- known among all Heights followers. Very few were as popular as John. He could do all things well and still be one of the boys. Oh yes, he also tap-danced and wrote poetry, but he ' ll never talk about these activities except with his intimates. During his first two years he was a member of the Sodality, the Musical Club, and the Marquette. He was also a charter member of the High School Academy. 124 MORRIS POOKATCH, JR., A.B., 125 Rowland Street, Roxbury, was born October 29, 1913 in Boston. He was graduated from the Boston English High School, where he carried the school colors on one of the famous English track teams, and sunk many a fringed basket for the English basketballers. He stands 5 feet, 8l 4 inches, weighs 130 pounds. He is dark, slim, and well built. His mustache aids in giving him a very suave and dashing appearance. Throughout his entire college career he has been considered as one who combined his air of smooth sophistication with an attitude of agreeableness. He is descended from purely Hebrew an- cestry. His friends call him Moe or Irish. In college he has been a trackman and a fencer. He was also a member of the Pre-Med Seminar. His membership in this organization was sig- nificant for it foreshadowed his future intention to go to Medical School. After that he intends to be a research scientist. He dislikes smoking but goes in strongly for the outdoor life and for plenty of sleep. He has considerable musical ability and he likes to fly. He likes to remember the Freshman Prom and the outing at the end of his Sophomore year. ROBERT ALPHONSE POTENZA, Ph.B., Village Street, Medway, is the unseen voice which responds to all telephone demands in quiet little Medway. For four years, despite the strain of attending classes for a goodly por- tion of the day-light hours. Bob has managed to be right on the job every night at his solitary switchboard fulfilling the emergency requests for priest, or doctor. Bob was born in nearby Milford on February 2, 1912. At Medway High School he dis- tinguished himself on the field of sport, as a pitcher in baseball and as a backfield man in football. Upon luatriculation at Boston College, Bob set himself earnestly to the task of equip- ping himself for his future profession as a successful teacher. Bob has the initiative and capability to distinguish himself from the ordin- ary run of pedagogues. Despite his diligent application to studies and work. Bob managed to participate in varsity baseball during the seasons of 1932 and 1933, where, if it had not been for the press of outside engagements, we are sure Bob would have won a berth as first string pitcher. His extra curric- ular activities were of a necessity curtailed by his employment, but Bob has nevertheless left a feeling of quiet efficiency and good humor amongst his fellow classmates. 125 PAUL VINCENT POWER, A.B., 10 Corona Street, Dorchester, was born in that borough on the 22nd of June, 1914. A Boston College High School graduate, he was a debater, orator, and actor in James Street, and one of JohnKacavas ' s best customers. Coming to Boston College, he did practically everything. He was an intercol- legiate debater for Marquette and Fulton, a re- porter on The Heights, and a writer of serious articles and light essays for The Stylus. In his Junior year, he served as departmental editor on The Stylus, and cut quite a figure in the High School. In Senior, he was President of the Student Council, Editor-in-Chief of The Heights, Associate Editor of The Stylus, one of the three undergraduates chosen to represent the college at the National Institute of Public Affairs in Washington. At the moment, Paul is undecided about what he is going to do next year; it will either be Harvard Law School or a job on a newspaper. He is equally at ease asking for I ' ll Take You Home Again, Kathleen in Hamilburg ' s, or leading fifteen members of the H. S. through the lobby of the Plaza in New York at three in the morning. He is 5 feet, 6, 123 pounds soaking wet and has his own ideas about every- thing. ALBERT JOHN POWERS, A.B., 147 Cushing Street, Cambridge, born August 21, 1913, man- aged the football team which drove the Spartans all the way back to Michigan. Al turned to Boston College for a degree, after his gradua- tion from Boston College High School; because he liked football, he entered the competition for manager in Freshman, won out in Senior, and became varsity football manager. As his great- est thrills, Al recalls the Boston College triumph over Fordham in 1932, the victory over Holy Cross in 1933, both witnessed from the bench, and his election to the position of manager in 1935. He delights in reading Shakespeare ' s plays, he attends the History Academy, and he takes an active part in the affairs of the Cam- bridge Boston College Club. Al found his Sophomore and Junior years both interesting and profitable; the professors he had during these years had such attractive personalities that he has since been endeavoring to model his own after them. The example set by these men has probably had much to do with Al ' s choice of a future endeavor. Instead of becoming a professional football manager, he intends to take his A.B. and travel out to Notre Dame University, and there to take courses in the development of the youth. If he continues in the future as successfully as in the past, Al should manage to swell the attendance of the College with the bright youths he will develop. 126 WILLIAM ROSARIO PROVENZANO, B.S., 20 Henchman Street, Boston, entered Boston Col- lege after preparing at Boston Latin School. Bill, as he is known to his friends, has been one of the outstanding scholars in our class. Entering from Latin School, he forsook the classics to master a study in science as a member of the B. S. Course. While specializing in Biology, his exceptional ability has so impressed those with whom he came into contact, that his future renown as a member of the medical pro- fession is practically assured. In attaining this unexcelled record, Bill found sufficient time to become a leading college figure in dramatics, and his excellent performance in major roles while at College did much to bring about the success accordingly deserved by these produc- tions. The expression of his dramatic talent and the long hours of study required of the science stu- dent prevented the opportunity for adequate dis- play of his oratorical proficiency which was easily discernible to all who knew him. His admirable personality created for him numerous friends. His mas tery of courses, participation in curricular activities and his support of class functions whether social or scholastic will result, we firmly believe, in future success. Whether the path be long, its successful completion lies within the power of Bill ' s resources. JOSEPH JAMES RANIERI, B.S., 4 Traymore Street, Cambridge, represents Cambridge High and Latin School ' s gift of brilliant personality to Boston College. Joe, is a truly great comedian when not absorbed in the study of Physics or Mathematics, in which fields his ac- complishments have proved his superior ability. When the lunch room or corridors echoed with hilarious laughter, Joe was often to be found as the source of amusement. Yet with all his entertaining personality, Joe excelled in Physics. Still further do his abilities extend: for four years he threw the hammer on the track team with his physical makeup consisting of but a mere two hundred pounds. He actively participated in the Dramatic Club as the powerful Voice of God in Everyman, The Crook in Fog, and various and sundry spear-carrying parts in Shakes- pearian plays. He lent his portly presence to the Physics Seminar and the Glee Club. In all college activities he was a true and loyal repre- sentative. Few members of the class were not his friends — all knew him. After graduation in the field of Physics, his future success and happi- ness seem assured, and with graduation mere absence will fail to erase from the minds of his fellow-classmates, Joe ' s scholastic and addetic ability, his dramatic tendencies, and his keen wit and friendly nature. 127 TIMOTHY FRANCIS READY, A.B., 37 Wliite Street, Cambridge, saw the blue Cambridge sky for the first time twenty three years ago. Tim went to Cambridge Latin, starred in football, baseball and hockey. At St. Anselm ' s Prep he added to his athletic laurels. For four years he guarded the B. C. nets, cavorted about the bases, and became diamond captain in his Senior year. He figured his weight was against him so he limited his football playing to Freshman and intramural games. He recalls as thrills his first game as backstop against Holy Cross and the Eagles victory over the Dartmouth icemen. Tim is an orator of sorts and on certain oc- casions will tickle the ivories with agility. If time hangs heavy on this busy lad ' s hands he puzzles over a cross-word puzzle or reads the comic strips. He considers Fr. Boehm a most interesting Professor, and New York trips a most interesting diversion. It ' s hard to be- lieve but Tim claims he dislikes noise. He is undecided as to what course he will pursue in the future. He may go to Notre Dame to learn how to educate young fellows in a physical way; or he may go to Boston College Law School and orate before the bar of justice; or he may con- vert his athletic ability into cash as a member of a professional baseball or hockey team. After receiving his A.B. he will feel fully qualified to render the best possible decision. CHARLES JOSEPH RICHARDSON, A.B., 345 Charles Street, Boston, was born April 14, 1913 in Wakefield, Massachusetts. Big Charlie, and he is just that, stands 6 feet, 2 inches, and weighs 180 pounds. He has the tall, reserved, aristocratic air of a Back Bay aristocrat. He attended Wakefield High School where he played Football, Baseball, and Basketball and took part in dramatics. Clever Charlie is an- other member of our famous family of sports followers and in addition is not a half-bad dancer, which comes under the heading of indoor sports. Quiet and reserved Charlie was one of those fellows with whom it was a privilege to associate. He is perhaps best remembered for those gen- erous ice cream cones he served from the lunch counter when no one with an air of authority stood close by. His good humor was another characteristic which helped to make him stand out in memory. To Charlie ' s credit, he worked on the outside to put himself through school and consequently was hampered iii the matter of college activities. He did manage Sodality and some fencing. 128 LAWRENCE JOSEPH RILEY, A.B., 113 Quincy Street, Roxbury, was born September 5, 1914, in Roxbury. At Boston College High School he was valedictorian, business manager of the magazine and of the yearbook, exchange editor of the magazine, debate medallist, and President of three debating societies. He stands 5 feet, 7 2 inches, weighs 130 pounds. He was a member of the National College Advisory Sodality Board, and Prefect of the Freshman-Sophomore and Junior-Senior Sodal- ities. He was President of the Marquette for two terms. He won the Gargan and the Harr- igan awards for his oratory. He was an inter- national, intercollegiate lecturer and prize debater. Mr. O ' Keefe, S. J., Moderator of the Fulton and winner of the Roberts Medal in 1929 has described him as one of the best debaters he has ever known. In Senior he was a member of the Student Council, and Circulation Manager of the Sub TuRRi. As Chairman of the Pre-Cross Game Smoker of 1935 he presented one of the finest arrays of talent in history. He was one of three representatives sent by the college to the National Institute of Public Affairs in Washing- ton. By his classmates he was considered to embody executive ability, to personify impreg- nable efficiency, and to accompany all his abil- ities with a quietly pleasant personality. In view of his qualities his class could not but pick him as the man in the class most likely to succeed. JOHN JOSEPH RIORDAN, A.B., 41 Regent Street, Roxbury, was born January 2, 1915 in Roxbury. John matriculated at Boston College High School. Amid the constant din of the Elevated on one side and grating of hacksaws in the Hospital on the other, he managed to assimilate Vergil, Homer, Ovid and Shakespeare, to drown out competition in a flare of forensic eloquence, to write a lively romance or two for the staid old Botolphian. At Boston College he enlisted in the stentorian ranks of the Marquette Debating Society; he entered the studious circle of the Dante Academy and was faithful to Soda lity. John claims that Father Quinn ' s Sophomore class was the most enjoyable and he delights in recalling the numerous amusing in- cidents that occurred there. In Junior John entered the Pre-Medical course, squinted for hours over a microscope in an effort to locate and dissect the prodigal phagocytes. Seniors saw him ascend the Heights with a tight fitting whiffle hair cut, were sur- prised to note that he no longer continued his cutting ways. When he leaves Boston College, he hopes to attend a graduate school, annex a list of higher degrees. Dr. Riordan enjoys his scientific courses the most, but after he has com- pleted his studies he will browse about the great Libraries of tlie world, in search of material on the state of the nation, and the situation of the rest of the world. He will spend his leisure mo- ments pounding the keys of his baby grand. 129 DAVID PAUL ROCHE, Ph.D., 20 Wright Street, Woburn, was born in Woburn, May 3, 1913. He went to Woburn High School, where he debated a little, ran for the Track Team a great deal. After winning his last debate, running his last race, he received a genuine Woburn diploma. He thought that it was a little too inornate, decided he would go to Boston College to get a truly ornate degree. On the Heights he studied assiduously both Science and Philosophy for four years. He was a faithful member of the Sodality; he joined the Economics Academy in Junior, but in Senior, after that unfortunate club ' s demise, he turned to the Business Club. To his chagrin, this also collapsed and Dave was forced to give up any hope of an extra curricula train- ing in fiscal affairs. He enjoys watching track meets and football games; he followed the eleven down to Gotham in Senior, but refuses to comment on the Eagle debacle. However, he does talk of the Fordham debacle in 1932 and the day when Boston College ' s lads crushed the Spartans from Michigan State. Dave hates to think of leaving the Heights, so much so, that he hopes to return next year and win a most imposing Master ' s Degree. After that he will look around Woburn for a position where he can teach and turn young townsfolk toward the Heights. FREDERICK WILLIAM ROCHE, A.B., 24 Hinckley Street, Dorchester, was born July 23, 1914, in South Boston. At Latin School he found time to debate, play baseball, march under Purple and White regimentals. In 1932, he turned to Boston College for a Bachelor ' s degree. He spoke a patois of South Boston French before the French Academy for two years, finally decided to concentrate his orator- ical eff orts on elegant English in the two De- bating Societies, ended up in two intercollegiate debates. He was an honor student the four years. In Junior year he served on the Promenade Committee, ended his three seasons with the Glee Club in a tearful outburst of harmony, pre- pared assiduously for his approaching term as President of the Class of 1936. As a Heights news reporter he managed to point out editor- ially and anonymously the glories of the Roche regime, the evils of bitter anti-Rochites. After he graduates, Fred will go down to Boston Col- lege Law School. In his spare time, between Presidency and pre-law studies, he followed the sporting page, read Shakespeare ' s Sonnets, listened to Verdi ' s arias, applauded Katherine Cornell. During the vacations he splashed about Scituate ' s tepid water, snapped entrancing photographs of everything, practiced leisure. When he has won fame and recompense before the Massachusetts Bar, he will publish a scientific treatise on the fine art of leisure. 130 JOHN FRANCIS ROCHE, JR., A.B., 52 Wy- clifF Avenue, West Roxbury, was born in Winthrop, April 16, 1915. He received all his secondary schooling at Boston Public Latin School, where he studied classical books during the school day, sang classical songs in the Glee Club, played what one might call classical golf with the Varsity team. After reaching the Heights, the thought of collegiate yodelling so overpowered him that he joined the College Glee Club at the first call for candidates and dis- covered that he could yodel as loud and as long as the best. In Junior he was a Central Committeeman in Father Russell Sullivan ' s Catholic Action Council. In Senior he joined the Fulton Debat- ing Society, found that arguing and singing balanced off each other perfectly. Johnny remembers the Glee Club trips to New York during the Easter Vacation of 1934 and again in 1935 as the most enjoyable days in his college career. Father Low ' s Junior Philosophy class was his most interesting year on the Heights. To relax, John finds that he has two infallible methods from which to choose: one — he can sing himself to sleep; two — in going around a golf course, sleep will come as soon as he starts counting his strokes. Wlien he has received his Bachelor of Arts degree, John will go down to Boston College Law School, spend three years delving into Mass Reports, then start arguing before stern judges. JOHN SYNON ROCHE, A.B., 4 Myrtle Street, Milford, was born October 5, 1915, in the town of Milford, which he liked so well that he has refused to leave it, except for an education. At St. Mary ' s High School he played basketball and took parts in the various dramas presented at the School. On graduating he looked around for a college in Milford; after looking in vain, he decided to come to Boston College. Although John is Irish, rather than German or French, he mastered the use of the rapier, and fenced all during his Junior Year. During Junior also, he took part in the activities of the Economics Academy and propounded many new theories of valuation and exchange. In Senior, however. John found his chosen field; under the guidance of Professor Doyle he studied Sociology and finally determined that he would carve a career out of it. Since he recalls the glories of New York City and the Bronx most vividly from his two voyages over there, John has decided that, after obtain- ing a Bachelor of Arts degree, he will go to Fordham Graduate School and obtain a Master ' s degree. Then he will return from the city and become the Social Service Director of Milford. Although he dislikes Greek, he shows his culture by applauding the soft, low voice of Lawrence Tibbet and by considering recess the most im- portant part of a college career. After attain- ing fame in the Social world, he proposes to outlaw all examinations and make swimming and smoking major studies at college. 131 ALFRED HAROLD ROSEN, B.S., 79 Deering Road, Mattapan, entered the B.S. Course in Physics after attending Boston Latin SchooL Al is known to all his friends and classmates as a truly brilliant and sincere student. The manner in which he undertakes any difficult problem or duty is an exemplification of his mental alertness and the rapid completion of his task was invariably supplemented by pains- taking perfection. With such extraordinary aptitudes, partic- ularly in the field of Physics and higher Math- ematics, Al with his pleasing personality has made many friends at Boston College. During his course of study he has actively participated in the Radio Club and the Physics Seminar. Characteristic of the B. S. student, his acquaint- ance has been, for the most part restricted, but all those who came into contact with him, realize the value of his friendship. Al would always readily explain the more difficult of scientific matters to his fellow classmates. His ability as a conversationalist on the cur- rent topics of the day was both admired and envied. In the pursuit of his study of Physics and Mathematics, all of his classmates realize that with his extraordinary scholastic accom- plishments, his indomitable ambition and his natural intellectual ability, great success is as- sured him in future years. With the attainment of his ambitions, happiness will also be his, for Al derives great pleasure in the accomplishment of any task, however difficult. CHARLES JOSEPH RYAN, A.B., 74 Martin Street, Medford, was born June 26, 1914, in that fair site. He was graduated from the Med- ford High School where he played football, ran on the track team and was noted for his high scholastic attainments. He grew and grew until he now stands 6 feet, 14 i ' lch long, weighs 210 pounds. His ancestry was Irish and must therefore have numbered many kings. For no one of Irish descent hasn ' t a king somewhere up in the family tree. His abilities are so varied and so skilfully employed that they have been said to be good at anything he undertakes. Tall and dis- tinguished looking Charlie is especially inter- ested in sports of all kinds, claims them as his chief hobby. Books, too, draw his attention and esteem and rank almost equally well in his favor with sports. But he dislikes politics and all the dusty din commonly associated with political strife. In college he kept himself strictly to further- ing his scholarship, though he did find time and opportunity to give a staunch moral support to the college activities. He was even there in spirit when he couldn ' t be there in person. 132 GEORGE JOHN RYAN, JR., A.B., 14 Whitford Street, Roslindale, was born December 17, 1913, in Boston. He prepared for college at the Boston Latin School where he was active as a natator on the swimming team and as a member of the school Glee Club, he gave vent to his musical prowess on occasion. Benny as he is commonly known is a short well set-up youth with a mop of unruly brown hair which serves to mark him from the madding throng. Here at the Heights he was an active member of the Sodality and served as Vice-Prefect dur- ing his Sophomore year. Outside of class he was employed at the Library as an assistant. The most memorable incidents in Benny ' s collegiate career were the two Gotham trips to witness the Eagles battle Fordham on the grid- iron and since both were so eventful we can ' t help but agree with Benny on this point. Cigars and dancing, two widely different diversions to say the least, compose Benny ' s favorite pastimes. An intense dislike for Math and Greek, as well as for Buddy Rogers, are easily drawn from him whenever he is on the subject of likes and dislikes. His ambition is to become a reporter, no doubt a sports reporter, and with this end in view Benny ' s future education will be gained at the Columbia School of Journalism. WALTER CHARLES RYAN, A.B., 117 High Street, Maiden, was born in the city of Maiden, November 17, 1914. Having completed gram- mar school, he went to Boston College High School. While waiting for the diploma, he wrote stories for the school magazine, won debates in the school auditorium, and ran races on the school track. Disappointed because the diploma did not contain an A.B., he turned to old Boston College. While waiting for the degree, Walter con- tinued his endless circling of the track, became a Sodality member, and acted at one or two class banquets. Suddenly he went into hiding. He was discovered in the Pre-Medical course, cutting guinea pigs, frogs legs, chicken wings, and pork chops. After receiving the best possible degree, Walter will continue his cutting ways, and end up as an interne. Whenever he gets the chance. Doctor Ryan drops his chisel and hacksaw, rushes to some virgin territory where he hunts and fishes, and performs the most delicate of all operations: the perfect frying of a trout. His most enjoy- able adventure as a Heights ' undergraduate was not on the Heights, but in Gotham, where he watched the Eagle-Ram encounter, cheered, and tripped the light fantastic. He is descended, he claims, from burly Irishmen. Walter Charles Ryan, A.B., M.D. is his goal. 133 WILLIAM FRANCIS RYAN, A.B., 114 Monroe Street, was born in Norwood, Massachusetts, on February 4, 1915. He weighs 172 pounds and is tall and stocky. At Norwood High where Bill received his prep school education, he was prom- inent in debating, dramatics and on the football team. At Boston College, although devoting most of his time to his Pre-Medical course of studies. Bill has been a member of the Von Pastor his- torical society, the Marquette Debating Society, the Sodality, the Catholic Action Council and has also acted in one of the college plays. The most memorable events of his college life are the Sophomore and Junior Proms, and the reception of two scholarships. Recently he was made Treasurer of the Norwood Boston College Club. Bill might be said to be a distinguished person for he has a twin brother who joined the Society of Jesus in August, 1934. He will undoubtedly enter Medical School as he possesses an enviable record in his Pre-Medical studies. His ambition is to become a prominent physician and surgeon. WILLIAM HENRY RYAN, A.B., 63 Ellison Park, Waltham was born July 23, 1914, in Watertown. He matriculated at the James Street Branch of the College in 1929, began a four year prep course under the tutelage of staid Father McGovern. Before he graduated he had spent quite a few hours catching passes for the Maroon and Gold Eaglets. When he left the South End Academy, he decided to win his Bachelor of Arts degree on the Heights. He started to tackle the dummy as soon as he had enrolled, continued tackling dummies and op- ponents for four years. During the off season Bill kept in condition for football by circling the track slowly and deliberately. He also spent a little time debating on French subjects in the French Academy. During the summer, he packs his bag, sails down to Scituate, spends three months sunning himself, sleeping, eating, bathing in the frigid surf. During the school term there is nothing Bill shunned as much as a Monday morning examination. He enjoys swimming, sports, dancing and travelling across the country. After he g raduates Bill will forget about schol- astic endeavors, concentrate on business. Wher he has attained the highest success in the world of finance, he will retire, spend his time and money following all his hobbies to their logical conclusion. 134 JOSEPH RAOUL ST. PIERRE, A.B., 230 Up- land Road, Cambridge, was born in that city October 11, 1912. He went to the Cambridge High and Latin School and then to St. John ' s Prep. At prep school he took part in Dramatics and was a member of Pi Delta Gamma. He stands 6 feet, weighs 140 pounds. He is tall and slim. His hair is brown, his eyes are blue. His physical litheness and suppleness have made his eminently fit as a fencer. For the four years during which he was on the Fencing Team he was considered one of the best fencers in the history of the college. In Senior he was Captain of Fencing. For four years he was very active in Dramatics and showed his histrionic ability in many plays. In Senior he was Treasurer of the Dramatics Society. During his entire college career he was noted for his suavity and his ease in carrying himself. He was also considered one of the best dressed men in the college. As Society Editor of The Heights he ran a column which was eagerly read. He was also Advertis- ing Manager of The Stylus and a member of the Law Academy. He was noted for his witty re- torts and his examples in the Sociology Class. His friends call him Bud. He intends to go to the Harvard Law School. CHARLES XAVJER SAMPSON, A.B., 15 Donnybrook Road, Brighton, was born on September 26, 1914, in South Boston. He is of Irish Canadian descent, with black hair and hazel eyes, comes of the tribe of the wrathful O ' Flahertys, and boldly declares himself to be the twelfth cousin of King George the Fifth. At Boston College High, Charlie was a member of the orchestra, hockey and football team. Cheese, joined both the Hockey Squad and the Musical Clubs in his Freshman year at the Heights. Opera, Sports, and his College days are Charlie ' s principal likes, while the first game of varsity hockey is his most memorable incident. He dislikes, jazz, especially the Lullaby Of Broadway, and he also decries the practice of playing bridge in the Robin Hood room. Bill Cunningham of The Post says that all grandstand quarterbacks should be declared guilty of a major crime and forthwith executed. Charles, once made a hole in one at the Alber- male Golf Club — from the third tee to the fourteenth green. Charlie, after having com- pleted his college career, is undecided as to the future, but he intends if possible to study, in graduate school, his favorite subjects, English and Philosophy, for as he himself admits, he never was in need of a trot to translate either of these two courses. 135 NICHOLAS LEWIS SANTACROSS, JR., A.B., 121 Bromfield Street, Wollaston, was born in Spencer, February 11, 1914. His family moved just in time for Nick to receive all his schooling in the city of Quincy. In 1932 he graduated from Quincy High School after earning quite a reputation as a Thespian and a singer. Various reasons caused Nick to neglect these talents after entering Boston College, notably the lack of time. Last year he served on the Catholic Action Coinmittee and in connection with this was largely responsible for the firm establish- ment of a Quincy-Boston College Club; in fact Nick ' s labours were rewarded by his election to the Vice-Presidency of the new unit. In his Junior year Nick spoke several times before the Senior Sodality and was an active member of the Dante Academy. He spends a good deal of time reading and occasionally ex- presses himself in oils or charcoal. He likes nothing better than to relax from the monotony of studies at a symphony concert. During his vacation he enjoys yachting and swimming and horse-back riding. At the beginning of his Junior year Nick decided to take the Pre-Med- ical course. After killing all the guinea pigs he will snatch his A.B. and enter Harvard Medical School. His acceptance at the latter is a tribute to the wonderful scholastic record he achieved in his course at Boston College. From Harvard he will emerge four years hence a full-fledged medicine man, ready to cut up. JOHN FRANCIS SCANNEL, JR., A.B., 921 Metropolitan Avenue, Hyde Park, was born August 2, 1914 in Boston. He attended Boston Latin School. After classes Frank debated, marched bravely with the indomitable Latin Infantry, ran on the track team. When these duties were over, he took charge of the revered Library. At Boston College Frank was a member of the Marquette Debating Society for two years, graduated into Fulton ' s ranks where he remained for two more. In Freshman he joined the French Academy, read so much French History that he shifted to the Von Pastor History Academy in Sophomore. He was a member of the Sodality for four years, and in Junior and Senior delivered sev- eral lectures before that body on the question of the American Negro. Like the Eighteenth Century British Navy, Frank impressed hun- dreds of free American students into Catholic Action, managed to complete the Alumni Five Year Plan in two months. During vacations he walks, swims and dives if the water is not too icy. As an ardent Boston College rooter, he followed the team on two occasions, failed to see in Gotham anything comparable to the Michigan State debacle on Alumni Field. He prefers non- fiction to fiction and enjoys all of Father J. F. X. Murphy ' s lectures. Law School is his next step. 136 WILLIAM JOSEPH SHAUGHNESSY, A.B., 20 Alewife Brook Parkway, Cambridge, was born on November 11, 1914, in Cambridge. He stands 5 feet, 9 inches, weighs 170 pounds, has dark-brown hair, blue eyes. Bill and a mourn- ful face were always complete strangers. Life to him was ever a lark. And it was all the more so when, as a member of the Glee Club, he journeyed to New York — and to Regis. Bill ex- ercised his muscles as well as his vocal nerves. For three years he faithfully turned up the turf on the track field during his daily marathon. He also essayed the hammer. From behind the protecting walls of the Science Building his class mates often ventured to peep, and watch Bill ' s progress. At the memorable Freshman banquet, Bill expressed his opinion about the mark he had received from a certain professor; which remark the professor, whose presence was unknown to Bill, enjoyed thoroughly. But Bill was by no means perturbed. With a typical Shaughnession smile he conveyed that impression: I knew all the time you were there. He is best summed up by what Larry Riley once said of him. He knows more of the meinhers of our class than any one else. Couple knowledge like that with his abilities — he ' ll be President. BRENDON SHEA, A.B., 587 Cambridge Street, AUston, was born on August 11, 1913, in Gloucester. He stands 5 feet, 11 inches, weighs 147 pounds, is tall and slim with dark brown hair and grey eyes. He was graduated from St. Aldan ' s High in Brookline. In Junior, despite all his extremely scientific air, he could still retain his presence of mind, and hum The Mikado. He helped while away many a lec- ture in Physics by rendering a Gilbert and Sullivan score. This last year he was often at the rostrum of the Fulton, of which he was sec- retary in the second term. When not at the rostrum, he was either traveling or fishing. But he never did explain how he succeeded in combining a Gilbert-Sullivan performance with a detailed study of thesis thirty. However, he always rose to the occasion, and valiantly defended all theses against all adversaries. As for literature, Brendon was a frank admirer of our modern authors, and a frequenter of the drayma. He has in addition an intense inter- est in out door photography. In Senior, Brendon was seen scuttling about the halls with a very legal looking book under his arm. He aspires to reach the bench and render The Mikado to staid court officials. He was also a member of the Sub Turri staff. 137 DANIEL FRANCIS SHEA, A.B., 17 Berry Street, Quincy, was born twenty-one years ago in the same Quincy he now inhabits. He journeyed to Boston College High School, where he studied hard and aspired to fame as a ball player. After receiving his diploma, he entered Boston College and travelled to the Heights daily for two years with the renowned Terraplane A. C. of the Granite City. Dan claims that Father Quinn was a most interesting professor. Under him Dan studied the classics, and also became a faithful member of the Sodality. In Junior year Dan joined the Economics Academy, the History Academy and continued his membership in the Sodality. Senior year saw Dan bending over his micro- scope, spying on thallophytes and things in the Pre-Medical course. He was largely instru- mental in the firm establishment of a Quincy- Boston College Club, last summer. Dan relishes potatoes, hunts for deer in Maine, and oc- casionally delves into the works of Patrick Henry. He is a baseball fan and a swimming enthusiast; he enjoys the sweet music of Guy Lombardo ' s Royal Canadians and of Wayne King ' s lads; he likes girls from New York and the West, who roll their r ' s. He prides him- self on his ability to read a man ' s character by noting the area of the individual ' s ears. Eventually, Dan hopes in medicine to earn his living at the risk of the rest of humanity. THOMAS WILLIAM SHERMAN, 32 Eliot Crescent, Brookline, was born August 7, 1913, in Charlestown. He later attended the wealthy town ' s high school. In this seat of learning, his sole activity was (to quote him) vegetation. Whether the General means that he engaged in a bit of horticultural endeavor or whether he ex- ercised that innate tendency which distinguishes living beings from non-living beings is not clearly manifested. However, when Tom as- cended the Heights, he made the most of the extra-curriculum activities, joining the Golf, Track, and Rifle teams. He is tall, slim fellow and quite frequently sports a bit of cosmos in his lapel. From 7% hat to the tip of his toes, Floriferous Tom measures 6 feet and weighs 160 pounds. He still retains happy memories of the Fordham trip. Even though his sports kept him quite busy, the general found time to indulge in art. Having enjoyed many delightful moments with the classic arts thru the medium of the A.B. course, Tom plunged with zeal into the task of improving the walls of the basement of the Tower building. Those students who afterwards commented favorably on the appearance of the new Rotunda were in reality staunch sup- porters of Tom ' s clever paint brush! 138 LOUIS ADRIEN SICARD, Ph.B., 130 Avon Street, Lowell, was born in Lowell, March 8, 1913. As a youth he divided his time between St. Joseph ' s High School and Lowell High School, finally graduating from Lowell High in 1930. In these schools he had played baseball, addressed the French Club, experimented with other young biologists. So interested was he in all these activities, that it took him over two years to decide that he wanted to become a surgeon. Discovering that Boston College gave the best Pre-Medical and Biological course, he sped down from the country, enrolled with the Class of 1932. During his first two years on the Heights, he shook the Towers weekly with his stentorian outbursts of French, welcomed the French applause given him by French Academ- icians. In Junior Year he began the sanguinary study of guinea pigs, stoically witnessed the slaughter of thousands of them. Anxious to learn more about the medical world, he spent his spare time in the Medical Seminar. Besides chopping young pigs, Lou spent the spring months chopping tennis balls across the court to the anguish of Boston College tennis foes. During vacations Lou plays a little baseball, entertains the home town with his racquets, snoops around the hills of Lowell with an inquisitive camera. After graduating from the Heights, Lou will spend three or four years in one of Boston ' s Medical Schools, possibly take a trip to Europe to learn more about surgical technique. After that he will return to Lowell, practice with skill. JAMES FRANCIS SLATTERY, B.S., 8 Matchett Street, Brighton, entered Boston College as a graduate from English High School. Jim certainly represents an outstanding member of our class, for throughout his course at Boston College, he succeeded in business. He has been a successful member in the B.S. course, devoting his spare time to attainment of high grades. In combining these two diverse fields, tribute is certainly due to Jim as a class member possessed of extensive resourcefulness. There was seldom a football game or dance, or in fact any function whether athletic, social or scholastic in which Jim did not cooperate to the best of his ability. Although many pleasant incidents are recalled through his acquaintance- ship, the one certainly to be called outstanding was his circle in Philosophy, where his courage in his convictions was truly amazing. In recognition of his many accomplishments it is no wonder that all his intimate classmates wondered at his resources. Future life requires no collegiate transition to business for Jim; and if merit makes its own way, we may all be assured he shall succeed. 139 LAWRENCE IGNATIUS SMITH, 7 Ford Street, Dedham, was born July 1, 1914, in Roxbury. He is not related to any Smiths you know. He spent his high-school days at Mission where he participated in hockey, football, and debating. Larry was elected Vice-President of the Boston College Club of Dedham while a Senior at the College. Smithy introduced himself as a Freshman at Boston College, speaking on Technocracy for his public speaking class assignment. (To show the advantage of his A.B. training he derived the word technocracy from the Greek.) Tech- nocracy is now defunct but Larry is still deliver- ing speeches. During Freshman and Sophomore, he was a member of the Marquette Debating Society and with his promotion to Junior grad- uated to Fulton for the two ensuing years. He was also a member of the Senior Sodality. In the line of sport, Smithy took a fling at Track in Sophomore. He is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and car- ries a weight of 142 pounds. His most memor- able incident was the Fordham week-end while his pet dislike is female drivers. He is very sel- ective in his choice of smokes. It is either a huge Havana or a stunted briar. He sometimes wears rubber-boots to football games. As to further education. Smithy says he probably will wind up in Boston College Law School. WILLIAM ERNEST S TOCK, A.B., stands 5 feet, 11 inches, weighs 170 pounds. At an early age he left the land of his birth, Beverley, and pushed on to the wilds of Neponset. Bill was a member of the Dorchester High School hockey team that was the championship team in the Boston School League. From Dorchester High, Bill went to St. Phillip ' s Academy where he transferred his athletic energy into scholastic energy which he used in the pursuance of higher studies and performing the duties of class treasurer. His first appearance in the College limelight was as a member of the celebrated quarter known as the Campus Cavaliers. Bill was always an enthusiastic supporter of every college activity, serving on the Freshman and Sopho- more Dance Committees, and participating in the Latin Academy, of which he was a charter member. Bill ' s chief hobbies are golf (when he keeps his own score) and teaching a group of North End youngsters the fundamentals of Basketball. Outside of his college activities we find Bill as a high powered automobile salesman and mechanic. Bill is extremely good-natured and can laugh while Foggy Jordan wants to know if the lights are on or off and if so, how can you tell? Bill is now perfecting rayless light to elim- inate the glare of night driving. 140 fSHH HL itt - J|H HK f ' bI H I ;.P B I B ' ' r ' ■ DONEL RICHARD MALACHY SULLIVAN, A.B., 9 Clarke Court, Brookline, was born May 19, 1914, in Boston. Don is a tall, dark lad with a pleasing countenance and cultured bear- ing. After a few years in grammar school, Don decided to go to Boston College, figured that a four year stay at the James Street Preparatory Division of the Institution would give him some valuable information. At Boston College Don found the first two years rather routine, decided to venture into the unknown in Junior and Senior. Consequently he enrolled in the Pre-Medical course, suddenly discovered that the unknown is too vast for a college man to solve in two years. In order to satisfy his yearning for unknown, perhaps also because he wishes to relieve suffering, Don will continue his quest for unknown things for three or four years in a medical school, for three or four score years in the school of Hippocrates. Life in Brookline developed Don ' s social talents and his course at Boston College his native abil- ity for a medico ' s career. As a high school lad Don joined the debating societies and during vacations he spent nights and mornings cheering Irish-American ama- teurs, as they flailed smokey Arena air. Don enjoys the rainbow colored shoes and shirts that Esquire has made famous. However, he hides these sartorial gems with a gigantic fur coat, claims that only in the world ' s largest and wealthiest town, where he lives across the street from Jimmy Roosevelt ' s house, is his taste appreciated. MARCUS HAYES SULLIVAN, Ph.B., 25 Wil- liam Jackson Street, Brighton, was one of the most familiar members of the class. Rome had its Marc Antony and Boston College has its Marc Sullivan. As Antony was the outstanding orator of the ancient empire so Herr Sullivan has be- come the voice of the class. Possessed of a very eloquent and appealing voice Marcus has seen fit to use it on the oratorical platform of the college to great profit both to himself and to the fellows who have enjoyed the mellow tones and the caustic wit with which he has regaled and assailed subjects from Cominunism to ball playing. This energetic youth, a native of Brighton, is a graduate of Boston English High School where he succeeded in making a name for himself in dramatics. At Boston College Marc has earnestly en- deavored to prepare himself for his future pro- fession as a lawyer by seizing every opportunity for forensic expression. His social ability has been recognized by his appointments to the dance committees of the Freshman, Sophomore and Junior Proms and to his election as chairman of the Michigan State dance. His influence has also been felt in the Marquette Society and in the Sodality and Law Academy where he has be- come an outstanding figure. We are sure tlie law profession will gain an invaluable recruit in Marc and we wish him every success in his chosen field. Good luck, Marc, and may you always keep smiling. 141 PAUL THOMAS SULLIVAN, Ph.B., 64A Bel- mont Street, Watertown, was born on August 30, 1913, in Cambridge. He stands 5 feet, 11 inches, weighs 150 pounds. One of the most ardent students of the Shakespearean drama throughout his four years at Boston College Paul has rapidly become a local authority on the great bard ' s works. Paul since his entrance into Boston College, after his graduation from Rindge Technical School in Cambridge has been desirous of learning all the details of the great English dramatist and with this end in view Paul has elected every available English course in the college. His most familiar pose is that of earnest study over a blue Hudson edition of plays, in which he ardently seeks to gain an in- sight into the hidden passages of the great tragedies, coinedies, etc. But lest anyone think Paul is naught but the student, let it be said he has also been a willing speaker, a patient listener and a pleasant companion, enlivening any discussion with his sly humor and his pleas- ant manner. Paul is desirous of becoming a good writer and to this end he hopes to perfect himself so that one day he will be able to create master- pieces of his own as did the great dramatist of England. We are wishing you well, Paul, in your venture and we hope some day in the not too distant future to be reading one of your able works and reveling in the fact that we attended classes with its famous author. ROBERT EDWARD SULLIVAN, A.B., 236 Randolph Street, South Weymouth, was born in Dorchester, June 20, 1914. He went to ancient Boston College High School, found Latin and Greek interesting, limited his extra-curricula activity to the Sodality, because of the marathon course he had to pursue between South Wey- mouth and South End. After graduating from the High School in 1932, he pushed his urban destination a little farther away from his native village. Because he was a college man, how- ever, he decided that he could defy speed regula- tions, consequently saved so much time in his daily journeys that he was able to join some of the clubs that flourish on the Heights. He was a member of the Sodality for four years; he discovered all the hidden facts of the past as a Von Pastor Historian; in the English Academy he perused more books than Weymouth li- brarians have ever seen. In his Junior year he joined the Fulton De- bating Society, debated eloquently on many im- portant questions. On a leisurely vacation day, Bob will stroll into Weymouth ' s library, read all its books, then go swimming in one of Wey- mouth ' s pools. During the winter when library and pools are snowbound, he spends hours study- ing the philippics of Father Coughlin, then ad- dresses Social Juscice-ites in the capacity of of- ficial advisor. For his life ' s work, he has cho- sen the patriotic and noble task of enlightening Weymouth lads on the subjects of history and grammar. 142 GEORGE VINCENT SWEENEY, A.B., 83 Tremont Street, Peabody, was born on January 25, 1913. On attaining his ' teens, he entered Peabody High School, played football, debated serious questions, acting in serious plays. In September 1932, Gus became a full fledged Bos- ton College man. During his years on the Heights, he has spent little time in outside activi- ties, has preferred to bury himself in a pile of books. He has enjoyed his stay at Boston Col- lege, however, and was especially impressed by the attitude of the Jesuits, who seemed to realize, says he, that they were teaching men and acted accordingly. Most of his spare time was used up by the long trek to and from Peabody, but he has man- aged to take care of the presidential duties of the Peabody-Boston College Club. When he obtains his Bachelor of Arts degree, Gus will probably remain on the Heights for a Master of Education degree. Thereupon he will return to Peabody, teach school, write a book whose sub- ject will be Humanizing Peabody-ites and Others. Gus figures such a title will sell it to Peabody bell hops at least. He collects all the old and new pipes he can lay his hands on, and smokes them when he feels capable. Between books and pipes, on the very slightest provoca- tion, he will croon a song or act a play, write a poem or speak a piece. This extraordinary ability should enable Pedagogue Gus Sweeney to send a likely crew of bodacious Peabody boys to his old Alma Mater. JOHN JOSEPH TERRY, B.S., 29 Fairfield Street, North Cambridge, was born on Novem- ber 9, 1911, in Cambridge. He attended St. John ' s High and studied faithfully under the good nuns for four years. On the basketball court he was a high scorer and on many oc- casions he brought victory to the home team. He achieved his greatest fame in baseball and was a swift footed ball player. Having as- sociated with many Boston College men, John grabbed a bus, took a look at the Heights and decided to study under her fostering care. As a member of the Physics Seminar he took an active part in its meetings and discussed tlie merits of the cosmic ray theory or any other topic that had the audacity to present itself. In Junior year, John joined the baseball squad and proved himself a regular ballhawk for two years. He was the fastest outfielder on the squad and was poison for the opposing pitchers once he got on base. In his leisure time he delights in the pursuit of trout, perch, pickerel and any other jnembers of the piscatorial family who happen to come within his range. Father Hard- ing ' s scholarly addresses on Idealism or any of the other isms were a source of great enjoy- ment to him. Jack intends to follow up his career by attending the Boston College Graduate School and then going out to exemplify that old and famous saying of Emperor Caesar: ' Veni, Vidi, Vici. 143 CARL JOHN THAYER, JR., A.B., 11 Hathorne Street, Salem was graduated from the Salem High School. By a process of gradual evolu- tion, Hellenism found its great champion in Carl. Rather dormant through Freshman, Carl awoke with the advent of Sophomore — and Herodotus. He became polemic, and ever more polemic. He pleaded for the cause. He de- fended the cause. He annihilated all enemies to the cause. For three years Carl held the high office of president of the exclusive Greek Acad- emy, before which he delivered many a soul- stirring dissertation on the glories of ancient literature. Daily Carl journeyed from Salem. Enroute he mentally massed all his forces for the inces- sant battles against the Hellenes. He loved a good argument, especially if the Greeks were at stake. He could discuss other important mat- ters, such as the many advantages to be had sitting in the rear of a lecture room, or the ex- cellences of his professors. There was some- thing of the true Briton in Carl for he delighted in writing to the press, even though the press was our Heights. Carl plans to secure a few more degrees. Thus fortified, he will storm the seat of Gilbert Murray, conquer it, and rule as pope of all that pertains to sacred Hellenic lore. JOHN JOSEPH TOSNEY, JR., B.S., 1058 Bennington Street, East Boston, attended Mechanic Arts High School and Huntington School before entering Boston College. Toz, has established a fine scholastic record. John possesses the rare ability of harmoniously com- bining work and pleasure which earned for him the admiration of all his classmates. As a stu- dent of chemistry in the B.S. course he has been exceptionally proficient in the mastery of its complex problems a nd in future years his abili- ties along these lines should confer both upon him and his Alma Mater honor and success. When not in lab, Toz was usually instigating lively comedy by realistic impersonations. Yet with his scholastic ability and enjoyable personality he still possessed a generous nature which won for him an extensive circle of friends. The sincerity with which he participated in the Knights of the Test Tube, Sodality, and Chem- istry Seminar is indicative of the cooperation which he contributes to the success of any extra- curricula activity. In the attainment of his desired goal, to com- plete a course of study in advanced chemistry and in the utilization of this practical knowl- edge, all those with whom he has come into con- tact believe that his competency in this field can result in nothing but prosperity. 144 PHILIP ANTHONY TRACY, A.B., 49 Atherton Street, Jamaica Plain, was born in Boston, Steptember 23, 1914. He was a Boston College High School lad, and won a James Street letter- sweater for his work on the Eaglet Eleven. As soon as he reached the Heights he ran out to the gridiron, played in most of the freshman games. During the following summer it was called to his attention that most varsity football players weigh well over three hundred pounds. After weighing himelf seven or nine times, he decided that discretion was the part of valor, confined collegiate football to intramural games and to a stream of cheers from a safe section of the stands. In Junior and Senior he served as Father DriscoU ' s right hand man, spent hours poring over the New York Times in a never end- ing search for articles anent the dollar sign. As a fourth year man he hastened up to the Fulton Chambers on Thursdays to listen to debates; on Tuesdays he dusted off his ledger, took it over to the Marshall and White Law Academy to act as Secretary-Treasurer of that potent organiza- tion. Phil remembers as outstanding his trip over to Gotham to witness the Fordham-Eagle clash, his trip to Alumni Field to watch the B. C. boys smash the Michigan Spartans. Because the friendly spirit of Boston College undergraduates has impressed him, he doesn ' t enjoy the thought of leaving the Heights; however, when he is forced to go he will go down to Boston College Law School for three years, then begin practice before the bar. GEORGE THOMAS TRUDELL, A.B., 50 South Main Street, Milford, was born March 2, 1915. A tall broad-shouldered, sandy haired lad, he weighs one hundred, eighty-five pounds and is five feet eleven inches in height. George is of the type that is always smiling. Trudy is especially fond of Scholastic Philosophy and flying, and is also very apt at making away with menus and wine lists from famous eating places. St. Mary ' s in Milford, prepared him for col- lege. While here he took part in Dramatics and Debating and was a member of the Band. In the four years that George has been with us at University Heights, he played on the Freshmen football squad, was a member of the Band, Orchestra, Glee Club and Fencing team, and served also as Manager of the Rifle team and as Vice-President of both the Band and Military Club. The class in Junior Greek will always be memorable to Trudy, and also the pleasurable events which took place on the Fordham and Western Maryland trips. As to the ambition of the versatile Milford resident, the impression that Philosophy has made in hi m proved an in- spiration in a unique and highly commendable desire to attend Catholic University and dien the Louvain, in order to study the teachings of the Schoolmen, after a four year sojourn in the ranks of the United States Naval Air Reserve. 145 THOMAS JOSEPH WALSH, A.B., Asbury Street, Hamilton, was born in that very same Hamilton, November 12, 1913. He traveled from his native haunts all the way to the South End of Boston, to attend renowned Boston Col- lege High School. Here he studied hard for four years, played hockey for three. As soon as he was graduated, he turned to University Heights for a degree. He immediately enlisted in the Library Corps, and has spent countless hours trying to find his way out of the maze of books which inhabit the nether regions of the library. Despite these hours spent among the tomes, despite the lengthy voyages to far away Hamilton, Tom found time to join the Economics Academy in his Junior year. In Senior he manipulated his time so skillfully, that, besides his work and his Economy, he took part in the meetings of the Law Academy, and engaged in some Post Graduate study about Mid-Victorian English Literature. In retrospect, Tom finds that he enjoyed his Sophomore year the best of any on the Heights, and he also discovers that the migration to Man- hattan and the football game and sights about town, were a little more interesting than a jour- ney back to Hamilton. After receiving his de- gree on the Heights, he intends to spend two years at Harvard Business School studying and watching a few scullers scull across the Charles. Thereupon he will return to Hamilton and stay there until he has built up enough holding com- panies to justify the title of a successful busi- ness man. ROBERT FRANCIS WELCH, A.B., 28 Alton Street, Arlington, was born in that fair locale November 6, 1914. In spite of that, he now stands 5 feet 7 inches short, weighs 135 (fighting mad as he never is except with Ed Kelley in the offing). He is dark-complexioned, says he is handsome, and thinks it prudent to do in Rome as the Romans do and so lays claim to Irish ancestry. He doesn ' t think it consonant with modesty to specify, but he asserts his forbears were right in the midst of all the wonderful achievements of the Irish. We hope he doesn ' t mean in a shell-hole between two armies. He risked his early educational development at the James Street institution, and moved up to the Heights near Reservoir Rd., where he con- tinued the interest in Sodality work he built up at B. C. High. He is a modest and retiring character — witness his self-summation in the biography questionnaire: Pleasing traits — Sunny disposition, lovable personality. Dis- tinguishing mannerisms — Ever beaming countenance. And we believe this self-portrait in spite of his nickname, Battler. Bob says he never enjoyed anything better than the four years here, and remembers in particular the Sophomore Prom. 146 VINCENT ANTHONY WENNERS, A.B., 587 East Broadway, South Boston, first saw Southie on June 17, 1914, and has seen it almost daily ever since. He went to Boston Latin School, where he learned the Ablative Absolute and other rare constructions, and decided he would devote much of his time to Latin. He played football, baseball, and hockey for the old Purple and White; he natated in all the pools of Boston, and he marched as a colonel in the Grand Army of the Public School System. Shortly after graduation, in the late summer of 1932, he marched out to the Heights and started his climb to the rank of A.B. At the College, Vin retained his interest in Latin, and became proficient in all Roman authors. He was a member of the Junior-Senior Sodality. In his Junior year, he went out for track, but in Senior, he decided to let the horses and dogs do the running, and to spend his time studying philosophy and racing forms. He recalls his trips to Manhattan and Baltimore, and he advises undergraduates never to miss a trip with the foot- ball team. In his leisure, Vin enjoys tooting a saxophone or a trumpet; he enjoys Glen Gray ' s Casa Loma Band and Ray Noble and thinks that some Boston College class should have them at a prom. After graduation, Vin will march over to the Harvard Graduate School of Education, bring a Master ' s degree back to Southie, and become a famous and well-liked Latin professor and maybe take a trip or two around the globe. GEORGE SYLVARIA WHITE, A.B., Baptist Street, Mattapoisett, was born on June 28, 1914, in Mattapoisett. He attended Fairhaven High School where he played football. As a pig-skin toter, he bumped into many of his future class- mates during the Boston College High-Fairhaven melee in 1930. Short, stocky, Georgie studied classical Latin and classical Greek the first two years, dropped them in Junior year to become engrossed in practical medicine. For two years George has tinkered around with biology, chem- istry, and other sciences. Eventually George would like to open the White School of Whitistic Philosophy, a system he believes is vastly superior to ancient, time- worn Scholasticism. George has only one com- plaint to lodge against the current regime on University Heights. He finds that there is a dearth of elevators in the several buildings. After climbing three or seven flights of stairs, he discovers that he has difficulty in distinguishing between thallophytes and other phytes. George finds that radio music helps him while studying and an occasional hand of bridge peps him up. His favorite sport, however, is to challenge some Cape Cod hill-billy to a game of checkers. No hill-billy has yet defeated George; die day will come when some one will find that the sturdy B. C. boy uses marked checkers, causing a new George White Scandal down on the Cape. 147 NICHOLAS YACOVITCH, B.S., 3 Lowe Street, Peabody, prepared at Peabody High School be- fore entering Boston College. His scholastic ability, attained particularly in the fields of Physics, Philosophy and Chemistry, when added to his captivating personality and athletic ability constitute but a few of Nick ' s admirable pos- sessions. To pay him tribute is practically im- possible. One can only say that in Nick the ideals of Boston College are to be found in their entirety. Although of a reserved nature his in- timate classmates recognize in him the qualities of a true friend. Throughout the long and difficult course of study required of every member of the B.S. course his willingness and eagerness to aid others and his self-sacrificing nature have impressed all those with whom he has come into contact. Nick desires to pursue an advanced study of Physics and to fulfill his inclination in the field of aeronautics. In the attainment of his ambi- tions all who know him wish him great success and believe that his natural abilities along such endeavors will crown his efforts with prosperity. His ability to undertake any task however dif- ficult and the prompt and industrious manner which characterizes his every accomplishment will in future years reward him with success if he doesn ' t have to use his Rifle team experience to ensure it. JOSEPH ZIBBELL, A.B., 635 Morton Street, Mattapan, was born January 12, 1914, in the city of Boston. He went to Dorchester High School, where he played varsity hockey, where he won fame as the best repartee artist in the vicinity, and under whose regimentals he marched all over Boston as a Schoolboy Na- poleon. It was September 1932, when Joe began his college career on top of University Heights. Because of his fluency in the French tongue. Monsieur Zibbell immediately enlisted in the French Academy; for four years he has imbibed the continental atmosphere until now he thinks that America should cancel the war debts. He prides himself upon his skill in another tongue, and points to his harangue in French Oratory as a masterpiece of Gallic expression. Joe also won the plaudits of Maroon and Gold rooters because of his work in the Boston College nets. It is debatable whether Goalie Zibbell is flashier than Frenchman Zibbell is French. Joe likes athletics very much; school pretty much; but, for him, sleeping is the most perfect activity possible for rational animals. Un- doubtedly this belief influenced Joe ' s mind when he determined to go to Oxford for further train- ing. While at the University, he will drink tea, sleep, study, sleep, then tax some sort of an Oxonian degree, sail back to Boston and start teaching French and hockey to the sleepy citi- zens of tomorrow. Thus Boston will be well pre- pared to lead the fight for a twelve hour week for labor and for Zibbell. 148 JOHN DAVID ZUROMSKIS, A.B., 933 East Broadway, South Boston, was born four years before Armistice Day, 1914, to be explicit, in Southie. On completing his primary education he entered Boston English High School and graduated four years later. With a diploma in one hand, he determined to put a Bachelor of Arts degree in the other, decided Boston College suited his needs the best. John has been a faith- ful member of the Junior-Senior Sodality for two years and, in fact, on more than one oc- casion has held his audience spell-bound by his oratory anent wars and wars. He is a real sport fan and follows the various baseball, football, and hockey teams which infest the Hub of the Universe. At times he delves deeply into non-fiction, more especially, the history, past and present, of Russia; to relax from the trying events of Russia, John turns to slapstick comedy and pie throwing. When in a fighting mood he dons his spikes, strides onto the diamond, sends the horse- hide whistling through the heights of Southie. In addition to a scholastic career, John has man- aged to win a name for himself in the business world. Starting at the foot of the ladder, he has succeeded in becoming the manager of a Southie chain store. John is not yet certain whether he will spend his time in the halls of wisdom or the halls of commerce. 149 Ex-members of ' 36 Ahizaid, Charles J. AUenburg, Vincent J. Andosca, Francis G.

The sound of the timer ' s whistle signals the end of con- flict and another football game has become a part of Boston College foot- ball history. Up in the press coop that tops the stands, the lights are now on. News-hawks feverishly write leads and the click-click-click of the telegrapher ' s key sends the story out to the front pages of sports extras everywhere. This is what the click- click-click said as the gloom gathered on the gridiron these chill Autumn afternoons : Special to The Times: CHESTNUT HILL, Sept. 29— A powerful Boston College elev en, equipped with a daring aerial attack, auspiciously inaugurated its 1935 season before 5000 Catholic Action Day enthusiasts here on Alumni Field this afternoon as Coach Dinny Mc- Namara ' s Eagles defeated a strong St. Anselm ' s team 13 to 2 in a game that augured well for the maroon and gold future. Special to The Times: NEW YORK, Oct. 5— The colorful Rams of Fordham University, dis- playing a remarkably suspicious knowledge of the Boston College Al Agett tried to quick kick in the first period of the Michigan State game. Gil- man (13) crashed through | and Idocked the kick. Fur- bush (25) recovered on the Michigan 7. Cahill also shows in the play. No touchdown resulted ini- mediately. passing offense, took their first step toward eastern titular gridiron honors by outclassing a strong Eagle team 19 to before a disappointing crowd of 15,000 here at the Polo Grounds this afternoon. Prior to this after- noon ' s defeat the McNamara men had been considered a number one East- ern gridiron machine. Special to The Times: CHESTNUT HILL, Oct. 19— Giv- ing as great a display of gridiron grit as was ever seen on an American foot- ball field, a courageous band of Bos- ton College men completely set back U. S. football dopesters and thwarted an adverse fate that frowned on them tw ice in the early moments of the struggle as the McNamara-coached eleven trampled mighty Michigan State, the nation ' s leading team, 18 to 6 in one of the outstanding football upsets of all time here on Alumni Field this afternoon. Special to The Times: CHESTNUT HILL, Oct. 26— Un- able to awaken from a lethargic con dition which developed after a touch- down in the first minute of play the Boston College eleven, conqueror of mighty Michigan State, was forced to battle down to the last sixty seconds of the fourth period to wrench a hard-fought victory from a courage- ous University of New Hampshire team 19 to 6 here on Alumni Field this afternoon. Special to The Times: CHESTNUT HILL, Nov. 2— A new Bill Fenlon and a new Tom Bren- nan formed a brilliant backfield com- bination to give Boston College and its newly appointed coach, Harr y Downes, a 20 to 6 victory over a strong Providence College team be- fore a shivering crowd of 5000 people here on Alumni Field this aftern- n Special to The Times: CHESTNUT HILL, Nov. 9— Con- verting two of the many breaks which its physical power forced, an unex- perienced Western Maryland eleven provided an upset of national import- ance here on Alumni Field this after- noon as the Green Terrors downed a sparkless Boston College machine 12 to 6 before a crowd of 7500. Special to The Times: CHESTNUT HILL, Nov. 16— Maintaining its reputation as a late- starter, Boston College snapped out of a burdensome defensive role and added five second-half touchdowns to a lone first period score for a 39 to victory over the Gymnasts of Springfield College here on Alumni Field this afternoon. Special to The Times: CHESTNUT HILL, Nov. 23— Gin- gerly heav ing a wet ball that gradu- ally assumed the proportions of a water-logged cantaloupe, Boston Col- lege penetrated a porous pass de- fense to swamp Boston University 25 to 6 here on Alumni Field this afternoon in a night game that was played without benefit of floodlights. Special to The Times: CHESTNUT HILL, Nov. 30— Cap- tain Nick Morris ' crackling 70-yard scoring run on the first play from scrimmage touched off a triple touch- down explosion in the first period as power-ridden Holy Cross closed an undefeated season by defeating a game Boston College team 20 to 6 before a near capacity crowd of 23,000 in the annual Jesuit classic here on Almnni Field this afternoon. Thus is the story of the 1935 Bos- ton College football team pithily told in the leads that American sports- writers telegraphed to a waiting sports world from the press box. 153 Ais ' t Coach Oitnsby, Head Coach Doanes, Ass t Coach Moloney. The names and deeds of the seniors on the squad will stand vividly in our memories. First, there was Captain Jo? O ' Brien. He came into his own very early in his college career and land- ed a starting position on one of the ends when he was but a Sophomore. Fairly tall, very well-built, red- headed, he was a hard blocker, a fast tackier, and a good man on punts and passes. Pitted against some mammoth tackles, he carried out his assignments. During his Junior year he distinguished himself in many games and particularly in the climactic encounter with Holy Cross. At the end of the season his team- mates paid him the high honor of electing him Captain of the 1935 team. But an unfortunate accident intervened between Captain O ' Brien and actual leadership of his team. A bad finger, received in this accident, kept the pride of Cleary Square on the sidelines for the great part of the season. By keeping himself in tip-top shape, Joe was able to re- join the team for the last few games. Here he showed himself an able captain and a wise and cou- rageous end. Ed Furbush didn ' t waste much time in gaining the football stage, once he made the varsity squad, a task he accomplished without dif- ficulty in Sophomore. His slashing end play kept a steady spotlight on his wing of the Eagle. Three years ago he was the man of the hour after the Holy Cross game. During this game Ed snatched a forward pass from Johnny Freitas and sent a defeated Crusader back to Worcester. The next two years found Ed mak- ing all sorts of daring and sensa- tional plays until fine plays by him became the accepted rather than the excepted. He was particularly adept at completing impossible pass plays. The stands came to believe that he could grab any pass that was heaved anywhere in his general direction. His circus catch of a forward in the Providence game and his immediate scoring are illustrated on these pages. He was also a good blocker, a terrific tackier, and a fast man down the field on punts. The imposing figure drawn up to full, commanding stature at one of the tackle posts was Ted Galligan, who in appearance and action dis- couraged hostile thrusts at his fav- orite position. He was not only one of the most formidable men physically on the Boston College eleven, he was also one of the most competent in transferring that phys- ical power from potentiality to actuality. He was a tackle who alwa ys stood out in line play. He was a man who could be counted on to brace a failing frontier, to stimulate a line crashing through, to block a kick, or to get down hard and fast on the receiver. At all times his line play was something to watch. In the Michigan State game it was something for the experts to watch. George Mahoney, a former B. C. High and Exeter gridster, was a member of the varsity squad for three years. George ' s football for- tunes reached their peak when, as a junior he was the chief factor in halting a Villanova surge towards the B. C. goal. However his real specialty Was destined to be forever latent. For three years George patiently practiced and finally mas- tered the intricate art of kicking points after touchdown, and during his senior year at the college was considered to be a foremost exponent of this difficult phase of football. Thomas Brennan, coming to Bos- ton College with the reputation of being a football player of excep- tional merit, was victimized by in- 154 juries soon after his ascension to the varsity squad. Despite this mis- fortune, Brennan returned as a Junior to provide one of the few re- deeming features to an otherwise dis- appointing season with his splendid kicking. In all sorts of weather, Tom consistently held his own or out-kicked his adversaries. A fine all-around back, Brennan ' s punting ability overshadowed his versatility. Paul Flaherty became one of New England ' s best known forward passers. His sensational work against Fordham when he had the Maroon backs running in circles seemed to be the forerunner of an era of aerial- minded Eagles, who would throw a scare or two into any team with their passing game. The failure of this happy age to develop into reality was no fault of Paul ' s. As a Senior, his knack of baffling opposing was greatly weakened by a variety of causes, not the least of which was a leg injury sustained half-way through the season. He was always a fine running back. Pat Avery had the dubious honor of being a fine blocking back while a Freshman. Returning to school the next fall, Pat was immediately tagged as a blocker, and told to forget about running and passing and devote himself to cleaning out for the other backs. Despite this in- junction, Avery found time to make himself a punter of no mean ability. Unfortunately his position in the backfield prevented him from dis- playing his prowess to the Saturday throngs. To all those who have followed Boston College ' s gridiron activities, the Astaire-like capers of Ed Dris- coll, as he slid through the highly touted forward wall of the Michigan State eleven last fall, will always be a source of happy recollection. The cheer that rent the air on that oc- casion was the lustiest heard in these parts since the Eagles abandoned Fenway Park. Like so many of his associates, Jake was a punter. How- ever after his screeching line drives had started to raise hob with the greensward of Alumni Field, Dan, the ground-keeper protested to the A. A. This caused Ed to be the role of a passing back, and he displayed his ability often. Fred Moore along with Ed Fur- bush and Joe O ' Brien, was a regular when he was a Sophomore. Fred divided the duties of pivot with Greg Sullivan, and his replacing of Greg- ory in important games didn ' t effect either the defensive or offensive strength of the team. For four years he was one of the most important members of the squad. The role of guard on a football team has been raised to a much higher level by the widespread adop- tion by college teams of the Rockne system. Whereas formerly tonnage was the sole requisite for guard play, now speed and blocking ability are •W - Mti Row 1 — Conlon, DcHiibis, Blandon, Kn-asas, Guinea, Chiarini, Murphy. Huxley, Morris.

No one will forget the fine blocking Neal demonstrated against Western Maryland two sea- sons ago and against other teams since. Billy Ryan ' s contribution to the football successes of the Eagle was rendered more often on weekdays than on Saturdays. However, Billy did rush into a few gaines to uphold the honor of Waltham and on such occasions was wont to strew opposing backs hither and yon with merry abandon. All of which proves that one finds it impossible to keep a good man prone. Too many non-scholastics hold matter to be superior to mind. Billy Fenlon has taken it on himself to prove that such is not the case, and is succeeding admirably. All who saw Bill out-box a visiting bully one Saturday afternoon will attest to William ' s success. But Billy could use his feet as well, and was quite adept at rolling the pigskin out of bounds close to the enemy goal line. 156 boston college 18, michigan state 6 A courageous, hard-fighting Boston College team swung its inight on the team considered by sports writers the country over to be the nation ' s best, forced its own breaks, and pounded out the season ' s outstanding upset by trampling the Spartan scoring machine. The story of the Michigan State game of 1936 is the tale of a team bashful of its own power, awed in the first few minutes of play into yielding one touchdown, then roused into giving the most mag- nificent exhibition of football ever seen on Alumni field. Michigan State scored in the first nine plays, starting with a dribbling Boston College fumble and ending with a neatly lobbed pass that the receiver carried over the goal line. The stands sat back weakly and ex- pected another Michigan State adding Tliis is the game which served as the preliminary to the Gohlen Age of Bos- ton College football machine workout. They stiffened a little more hopefully when Gilman blocked an Agett quick kick and Fur- bush recovered. They burst in raving delirium when a few plays later a cloud of Maroon interferers escorted the ball carrier across the Lansing goal line. But when the play was called back for violation of the off- side rule and the Eagles lost the ball on downs the crowd sank back into a hurt resignation at the seeming in- evitable. But the spectators could not appre- ciate as yet the grim force of the B. C. line, and the desperate heels of the Boston ball carriers. They began to realize the worth of the Heights rep- resentatives when, late in the first period a couple of well executed pass plays brought the Eagles to the enemy three yard line.

The next score came early in the second half. Al Agett waited until fourth down to kick. The pass from center was weak and wobbly. The entire Maroon line swarmed in to bury the visitor and seize the ball on downs on the 28-yard line. The surge of the line packed a tremendous power. Ferdenzi was let through for five yards at left tackle, Flaherty drilled through to the 10-yard line. Ferdenzi picked up four, Avery two more. Flaherty crashed through guard into the end zone. The last score came in the last quar- ter. Center Vin Keough intercepted a pass intended for Dick Colina and was brought down on the sixteen. One observer said that never had he seen the silken gold on the Eagle uni- forms flash with as much assurance as in the huddle immediately after that interception. Four plays later Boston College had another touch- down. The Boston Herald said of the team that day, A roaring rush line, spurred on by the mighty efforts of its fighting ends, started making tackles that could be heard as well as seen. State ball carriers were be- ing hit by two men at a time; State passers were being rushed to death; State kickers were being tormented by a sea of outstretched arms. State rushed in their stars, uncovered their pet plays, took desperate chances. 158 Furbush makes a miracle catch for the first touchdown against Providence. DiNatale passes to Cahill in the Michigan State game. 159 hockey The story of the class of 1936 in Boston College hockey can be told quite simply: only a few members of the class played, but they played well. The ' 36 representatives on Coach John Kelly ' s squad were Captain Freddy Moore, swift skating center on the number one line; Tim Ready, America ' s outstanding intercollegi- ate goalie; Charlie Sampson, capable, steady, dependable wingman; and Joe Zibbell, a good goalie in his own right who had the misfortune to attend the same college as Tim Ready. Fred Moore was not only the swiftest skater on the Eagle squad. He was not only one of the cleverest stick handlers on the squad. But his fight (plus his natural skating speed and his ability to handle the puck) made him the outstanding B. C. scor- ing threat. Fred was the man for the opposition to watch. He may not have looked too flashy on the ice, but when the goals were added up after the game you could be sure that Captain Moore had played a great part in the scoring. In fact, when the statisticians sat down at the end of the hockey season to figure out the ranking of Eagle scorers, they found that Freddy Moore had led all the rest. Fred was elected to lead the 1936 hockey club — he led his team in scoring. And, after all, it ' s the scor- ing that wins hockey games and that ' s what counts. To call a man America ' s outstand- ing intercollegiate goalie might be considered by some to be the charac- teristic extravagance of a year-book writer. But, when you really think about the matter and consider the various intercollegiate goalers, you must conclude in all impartiality that Boston College ' s Tim Ready was num- ber one. Reasons: When the hockey coaches of greater Boston ' s colleges came together at the end of the year to select an all-team, Tim was selected unanimously by them — and he was the only one who was accorded the honor of unanimous selections; press dispatches from Nassau after the Princeton-Boston College game this year said that Tim Ready, the Eagle goalie, gave an exhibition worthy of any goal tender in pro- fessional hockey; Boston and New York sports writers around agreed that Tim Ready was just about tops at his chosen occupation. Enough said! With regard to Joe Zibbell we need merely say that Joe Zibbell was a corking good goal-tender — but, he had to compete with Tim Ready — and that was about the stiffest com- petition any man could have. Charlie Sampson was a distinct sur- prise to his classmates. Somehow or other, they had never thought that the quiet lad who played the violin in the college orchestra played the rough- and-tumble game of hockey. But he not only played the game, h e played it so well that he won a regular posi- tion for himself on a good college hockey team. Charlie stood fairly high on the list of Eagle scorers. He played a fair-to-middling hockey game. But, remember — there aren ' t many colleges that can boast violin- ists who play fair-to-middling hockey games. Well, that ' s the story of the part played by the members of the class of 1936 on this year ' s hockey team. But, that isn ' t the whole story of the Boston College hockey team. Four men don ' t tell the story of the Bos- ton College hockey team. And a squad of twenty-four men doesn ' t tell the story. The story of Boston College hockey in recent years is the story of John Snooks Kelly, a for- mer Eagle hockey great. For years the college had no hockey team. There weren ' t sufficient funds to pay the expenses of a team and the salary of a coach. Well, Kelly didn ' t think it right that a college which had such a great tradition in the history of in- tercollegiate hockey should fail to have a team. So, he offered his ser- vices free of charge and stirred up sufiBcient interest among the stu- dents of the college to turn out a six. He labored patiently and turned out a good team; and finally the athletic association once again recognized hockey as a major sport at Boston College. Kelly was the man who brought Eagle hockey back from the lethargy into which it had fallen. B. C. once again holds an envious position in the intercollegiate puck world. To John Kelly for the great work he has done the class of 1936 renders a vote of thanks. As we look into the future, things bode well for the Chestnut Hill puck chasers. There are a couple of sterl- ing defense men in Captain-elect Jack Burgess and big Joe Walsh. Peter Murphy and Tom MacDonald and Frank Lowry and other good front line material will be back. Of course, Tim Ready leaves a big gap in the nets. But, observers say that Fred Moore ' s young brother Paul, who tended the goal for the freshmen this year, is quite good. The Boston College record this year wasn ' t remarkable. But it was good. And the future looks even better. And the halcyon days of Foley and Groden and Kelly and Fitzgerald and Sliney will be back again. America ' s outstanding intercollegiate goalie, Tim Ready. 160 Walsh, MacDonald. Capl. Moore, Reddy.

Five seniors have been outstanding members of the track team through- out their four years at Boston Col- lege. They are Captain Ed Kickham, Bill Malone, Jim O ' Leary, John Downey and Frank Delear. Malone and Delear are former high school stars; Downey competed during his senior year at Medford High and also did some road racing; Kickham and O ' Leary had never donned a spiked shoe before coming to the Heights. Kickham, according to Coach Jack Ryder, is the greatest track develop- ment Boston College has ever had. Reporting as a freshman with abso- lutely no previous experience he worked his way up and is the present holder of the N. E. A. A. U. 110 meter high hurdles title, which he won last summer at Newport. After instinctively deciding to try the hurdles, he spent his first year attain- ing that hurdling form which is now practically perfect. He was good enough, however, to place in the dual meets with St. John ' s Prep and the Tech Freshmen, and also in the G. B. I. ' s at the Harvard Stadium. As a sophomore, Ed was under- study to the varsity hurdler, Neill Holland, and placed in the West Point and Holy Cross dual meets. His greatest development came during his junior year in which he placed in the G. B. I. ' s and copped firsts in the New Hampshire and Holy Cross dual meets, and concluded a great season by winning the New England high hurdles championship at Newport. As track captain. Lanky Ed has continued his brilliant career landing a third in the Boston K. of C. Games last winter, and placing second in the indoor meet with the University of Maine.

William Buster Bill Malone is one of the most colorful runners on the squad. After starring as a quar- ter-miler while captain of the Win- throp High track team, he entered Boston College and immediately es- tablished himself as the leading per- former of the freshman team, anchor- ing the mile relay outfit in all its races. In the winter meet with St. John ' s Prep at Danvers he set a new track record when he won the 600 yard run in 1:17. During the out- door season he proved to be a very good quarter-miler. During his sophomore indoor sea- son, Malone graduated to the half- mile distance, becoming a member of the two-mile relay team and earning for himself the title the best lead-off man in the East. While running the initial leg he turned over leads to his team-mates in the Boston K. of C. games, the Millrose Meet in New York, and the B. A. A. Meet. In the University Club meet he ran the third leg on the winning mile relay team. Later in the year, at the New York K. of C. games, he teamed with John McManus, Bill Parks, and Dana Smith to cover the mile route in the excellent time of 3:23, which stands as the Boston College record. At the close of the season Bill stepped down to Providence to win an in- vitation 600 yard run in the fast time nf 1:16.8. As a junior, Malone competed as a member of the mile team in the Boston K. of C. games, the B. A. A. meet, and the University Club meet. He again joined the two-mile team as lead-off man for the I. C. 4A meet in New York, and repeated his success of the previous year by finishing first in his leg. He earned his letter and I. C. stripe for the team placed a close second in the event. Outdoors he ran the sprints and the quarter- mile, and placed in the Holy Cross meet half-mile. During the summer he won several races, among them the 162 James J. O ' Leary, ' 36, flashes B. C. colors across finish first to win 1-mile college relay in the Millrose games in Madison Square Garden. Behind him comes Harold Baker of Michigan Normal. Dartmouth finished third. New England 200 meter junior cham- pionship. In a handicap meet at Dedham he won the 100 yard dash and the 440, running both races from scratch. During his senior year Malone has continued his great relay work, run- ning anchor for the mile team in the Boston K. of C. games, and leading off for the two-mile outfit in the Mill- rose and B. A. A. meets. In the I. C. 4A. ' s he turned in a brilliant third leg as the two-mile team placed sec- ond to Penn State. In the dual meet with the University of Maine he cov- ered the 600 yard route in the excel- lent time of 1:14.4 as he placed second to Dick Gill. On the cinders he will run the sprints and the 440, and next year he intends to continue his running as a member of the B. A. A. James J. O ' Leary is the most ver- satile man on the track team, having competed with success in every event from the broad-jump to the half-mile. During his freshman year, Jim con- fined his attention to the low-hurdles, the broad-jump, and the high-jump, placing in the G. B. I. ' s and in all the dual meets. He was also a member of the freshman mile relay team. O ' Leary began his sophomore in- door season by running anchor for mile team B at the Boston K. of C. games, and serving as alternate on the varsity mile team for the I. C. 4A. meet. He then broke into head- lines and delighted his friends by winning the N. E. A. A. U. 600 meter championship by defeating several outstanding stars in a meet at the Boston Y track. He ran the low hurdles in the G. B. I. ' s and placed third in the same event in the West Point and Holy Cross dual meets. As a junior, O ' Leary got off to a flying start, anchoring the mile team for the K. of C. and B. A. A. meets, but a pulled tendon put him out of competition for the remainder of the indoor season. He recovered sufiB- ciently, however, to place third in the broad-jump in the Maine dual meet. Outdoors, in the G. B. I. ' s, he won two medals, placing third in the low hurdles, and fourth in the broad- jump. He came through in fine style in the Holy Cross meet, stepping over the 220 yard lows to win the event in the good time of 2.5.2 seconds. O ' Leary started his senior indoor (Continued on page 203) 163 1 ■ U %. 1 ■HnT ' fiJHHI 1 4 H I B ,H.

This is true of this year ' s Sub Turri as it is true of all year books. But we ' ll do the best we can. Things do not off-hand look too good for the Eagle baseball team this season. Timmy Ready is the only member of last year ' s infield to re- turn. But Tom Brennan, George Ma- honey and George Maiocca, along with Ready, should form a good in- field. These men are all seniors so it will be a ' 36 infield. The other seniors on the squad — and they are first stringers, at that — are Ted Galligan, hard-working, ca- pable pitcher, and John Terry, a smooth fielder and always a threat with the willow. These six men are the contribution of the senior class to this year ' s ball team. While the outlook for this season isn ' t too bright, nevertheless, we are quite sure that this year ' s team — as all other B. C. baseball teams — will be in the front rank of the inter- collegiate baseball world. 164 golf With the appointment of Fred J . Cor- coran of Cambridge, state handicap- per and popular Boston enthusiast in all sport lines, as amateur coach, the Boston College golf team reached a new high in interest and prestige this year since the inception of the links game in the category of minor sports at the Heights. And it is no wonder that Corcoran was greeted by the largest and most enthusiastic squad ever to report for the golf team when he met the can- didates for the first time late in February. Headed by Captain Paul T. McGrady, ' 36, of Watertown, all the lettermen from last year ' s team with the single exception of Charles Featherstone, leader of the ' 35 out- fit, were on hand at this meeting. Seniors Ed Furbush and Fred Moore and juniors Peter Murphy and Ed King Clancy were the men who received their B ' s by virtue of com- peting against Holy Cross last year and who were back again to face the strenuous schedule, which was com- piled by Coach Corcoran and Captain McGrady. Besides these, the de- pendables, John Black, ' 36 of Wol- laston, George Finn, ' 36 of Hyde Park, and Lawrence Hern, ' 36 of Dorchester, all three who competed in matches during the previous two years, were again ready to gain places on the team. Then there were Joseph Walsh, ' 37, John Janusas, ' 38, Anthony DiNatale, ' 38, James Lynch, ' 37, Morris Blitz, ' 37, Thomas McDermott, ' 37, William Ryan, ' 36, Bob Provosoli, ' 37, Joe Hartigan, ' 38, Jim Casey, ' 38, Gerry O ' Callaghan, ' 38, Paul Mahoney, ' 38, among others, who reported to Cor- coran for the chance to make the team. Corcoran, who, incidentally, in his natural modest manner explained at that first meeting Tie would rather be looked upon by his charges as advisor than coach, really started a new era for the niblick wielders of the Maroon and Gold. First of all, he stated how ' he and his very close 1st Row: Fenlon, McGrady, Murphy. 2nd Row: Moore, Furbush. friend, the noted professional, Gene Sarazen, were striving to further the interest of golf in the colleges, where they believed the majority of the best golfers in the country can be un- earthed today. As a result, the diminutive master of the game, Sarazen, who was ap- pointed golf coach at Colgate the same time Corcoran took over the reins on Chestnut Hill, came to Bos- ton early in May and gave individual instructions to every one of the Eagle linksmen. Not only that, but the first golf match ever played between Bos- ton College and Colgate was sched- uled for the latter part of May. However, long before these mem- orable instructions by Sarazen, Men- tor Corcoran had his Eagles working out under two local professionals, John Bernardi, Charles River Coun- try Club, and Bill Duffey, Trapelo G. C, and their great aid was grate- fully received by the B. C. golfers, who showed the benefits of these two brilliant instructors in all the matches during the season. Corcoran, although not a B. C. graduate, is an adopted alumnus. coming from the same district in Cambridge as John Kelley and Frank McCrehan, popular coaches of the hockey and baseball teams, respec- tively, and having always been a rabid Eagle fan in all B. C. athletic endeavors. And it was, therefore, through his efforts that his team was able to start preparations for their season early in March, when in other years the B. C. golfers had to wait until they had reached the Southern climes on their annual tour during the Easter vacation, late in April, before they could play a full round. He selected Captain McGrady, Furbush, Murphy, and Moore as the players to comprise the Maroon and Gold team for the set of six matches in the Southern tour arid had them practicing several days a week beginning the second veek of March in the indoor nets at the Con- ditioning Club on Franklin Street in Boston under the instructions of Ber- nardi and Duffey. McGrady, leader and number one man on the team, was the ideal cap- tain.

Mahonej, Droney, Scally. Roughan, Bailey, V. Mahoney, Hern. Prospects were unusually good this year for one of the best Tennis Teams on the Heights in recent year and they materialized to the fullest extent. Leading members of this year ' s squad were Capt. Vin Mahoney, playing manager Tom Mahoney, and Dave Baily of senior and Jim Droney, Hal Scallay, John Koumjian, Jim Dunn and Fred Gorgone, junior stalwarts. The most brilliant tennis schedule ever arranged at B. C. was the pro- gram which faced the Tennisseurs. The team more than met its share of success on a protracted Southern spring trip and in view of the ster- ling worth of the opposition this is indeed commendable. A glance at the schedule listed below will con- vince anyone that the task facing the squad was no easy one, and when one considers the handicaps under which our boys labored in the face of the fact that the opposing big-name teams had the advantage of winter- long practice under the trained eye of professional coaches, it must be admitted that the boys certainly came through with flying colors and were a credit both to themselves and the school which they so well repre- sented. The long jaunt into the Southland began immediately after the last class on April ??, which marked the be- ginning of the Spring vacation, and those leaving the Heights in the en- tourage of two gallant Ford V8 sedans were Tom Mahoney, Jim Droney, Hal Scallay, John Koumjian, and Fred Gorgone. The fate of the in- trepid little band was entrusted into the hands of drivers Bill Stock of senior and Ken Quinn. So with much ado about something the signal was given and they were off and away we went to drop anchor that night in Philadelphia. The following day found us in Virginia where our first match awaited us on the morrow with the haughty Cavaliers of the Univ. of Virginia who were so hospitable as to entertain the visiting Eagles in royal fashion by holding a dance in honor of the B. C. College boys. From the sovereign state of Virginia, the little band wended its way bravely down to North Carolina, thence back to Maryland and then to Washington, D. C. In Washington, a most enjoy- able stay was crammed with excite- ment and visits to all the points of interest including the never-to-be-for- Kotten cherry trees along the Potomac. The route lay South again for a brief foray back into Virginia. This time it was William and Mary who played host to the high-flying Eagles. After this began the long trek home- ward and the toughest opposition yet to be met faced the gallant crew. Looming up like a spectre were La- fayette to be entangled at Easton, Pa., llie Univ. of Penn. to be met on the field of combat at celebrated Franklin Field in the City of Brotherly Love, the crack Princeton team with its nationally ranked stars and peerless equipment, the rigors of the week-end in tranquil old New York, and lastly a trip up the beauti- ful Hudson to historic West Point, where the boys were made to feel right at home and spent an entire day with the cadet-corps climaxed by an en- joyable supper, pleasant leave-takings and the run from West Point to Bos- ton, where a tired but happy little band of racquet wielders were faced with the resumption of classes on the very next day. It was truly an experience which comes but once in a lifetime. At home we played Providence, Tufts, Technology and B. U. And we played Brown and Holy Cross at their respective fields. 166 rifle The Rifle Team is a branch of and supported by the Military Club of Boston College, which is under the direction of Father Daniel J. Lynch, S.J. Through his efforts government supplies and equipment are obtained so that no dues are required. Mem- bership on the squad is open to all students. This year the 146 students in all who tried out for the team caused many a gray hair on the heads of the veterans appointed as daily Range Officers. For their duty was not only to keep firing going smoothly, but to give instruction in the fine art of shooting to the eager but inexperi- enced aspirants. And if any young Davy Crockett or Daniel Boone the second, was lost in the shuffle of those parlous times we hope he will try again next year. The activities of the team include both indoor and outdoor contests. Indoors .22 caliber rifles are used. Firing is at a distance of 50 feet at the standard National Rifle Association fifty-foot indoor target which has a 10 ring or bull ' s-eye of about .2 inch diameter. Ten men shoot in a meet, in any or all of four positions: standing, kneeling, sitting, or prone, according to the terms of the match. Only the five highest scores of each team count in determining the win- ner of each meet. Outdoors the procedure is the same, but targets, rifles, and distance are different. The team uses .30 caliber Springfield (Army Service) rifles and the distance is 200 or 300 yards to the target which has a 6 or 8 inch bull ' s-eye. Sometimes the match con- ditions also call for firing at 600 or 1000 yards range at correspondingly larger targets. And in addition to the four positions used indoors (slow- fire) there is competition in rapid- fire. In this the contestant starts with five shots in his rifle and with the gun at safety. He has one minute to get into the required position and fire ten shots at the 200 or 300 yard distant target. (And it ' s your hard Murphy, Laliy, Trudell. luck and no fair cussing if the maga- zine jams.) All outdoor shooting, because of the extremely long range of the high- powered rifles used, is carried on at special State ranges at Wakefield. The team engages in telegraphic and shoulder-to-shoulder competition. In the first type of match each team fires on its own range and sends witnessed targets to the other. In the second type the teams shoot the match side by side. The majority of the matches this year were of the first type, the budget for the year being limited. Three team members control the destinies of the club: Frank Murphy, a Junior, and the team ' s Executive Officer, who so nonchalantly bangs out so many 80 ' s off-hand, cares for the equipment. He would never take his bows, though. He is a re- tiring soul, but the back-stop logs quiver and quake when he stands up with a shootin ' ar ' n. Second in the triad of officers is George Trudell, Senior, and mana- ger of the team. The violet is bold compared to George. No question about his bows — he takes them any- way — before he shoots! Your wor- thy scribe thinks he and the targets aren ' t speaking because they can ' t seem to get together. A piece of string, a penny, a lighted match or candle — that will George despatch with neat precision. But a target — that is beneath him. (Though he did come through when it was needed in telegraphic matches. ) And we never will forget the color of the air about our beloved manager the time he was going great in an outdoor rapid-fire contest and the gun jammed the sec- ond last shot! And trying to preserve the appear- ance of authority there is John Lally, captain of the team, to com- plete the Deadly Three. His name is to be handed down to posterity for the rapidity rather than the accuracy of his fire. Though he was found in an off-moment claiming he could shoot the ash off ' a cigarette If the bullet wasn ' t bent. With his 98 ' s prone and his 80 ' s off -hand he kept up among the five high men to score in each meet. He showed real (Continued on page 206) 167 fencing Lightning speed, cleverness of hand, foot and brain, flashing blades — such is the sport of fencing. To those who thrilled to the song of the whirling steel and the feel of a sturdy blade in their hands, the fencing team offered a splendid opportunity. As Freshmen, in 1932, the fencing team elected Bud St. Pierre captain and went to work under the tutelage of Coach John Roth, one of the ablest fencing-masters in the East. The team had an eminently successful season, remaining undefeated and untied throu2;hout a long and difficult schedule. In Sophomore Year and Junior, St. Pierre fought on the Varsity and is the only member of that great Fresh- man team to enter ' 36 competition. At the end of Junior year, he was unanimously elected captain of varsity and James Heffernan was elected manager. At the graduation, the team lost three valued members and only Captain St. Pierre, Freder- ick Carmody, James Regan and Charles Langenfeld answered Coach Roth ' s call for the first practice for ex- Varsity men. An intensive search for new material began which was necessarily made more difficult be- cause of the physical and mental qualities necessary as prerequisites for the successful transformation of a novice into a good fighting man in the space of a few short weeks. Three candidates were finally chosen: Aus- tin Brewin, whose speed, aggressive- ness, and strength made him outstand- ing in sabre; Mark Dalton, whose reach and coolness under fire more than outweighed his lack of experi- ence with the duelling sword, and Thomas O ' Neill who had weight, strength and confidence in abundance. With Capt. St. Pierre fighting num- ber one position, Carmody number two, and Langenfeld number three in foils, St. Pierre, Carmody and Dalton, in that position in epee, and Carmody, Regan and Brewin in sabre, the team opened the season with the clever and experienced cadets from Norwich. Heffernan (Mgr.), Carmody, Reagan. Langenfeld. Dalton, St. Pierre (Capt.), Brewin. The College lost by the close score of 9-8, Captain St. Pierre winning four of the eight, Carmody two and Brewin and Dalton taking one each. After this match, Dalton won Langen- feld ' s position as number three foil man and Brewin won Regan ' s place as number two saber man for the match with Brown. They held these places for the rest of the season and de- veloped steadily. Captain St. Pierre ' s lightning speed, aggressiveness and cool daring made him high scorer for the season. Fred Carmody, also experienced and ever-dangerous, was his nearest competitor for team honors, with the remaining numbers about even. Despite the fact that the team was not a member of the Intercollegiate Fencing Association, Manager Hef- fernan provided for a most active season, match following match in quick succession. Heffernan was probably the most important factor in overcoming the odds that faced the team at the beginning of the year. He displayed the same unselfishness and aggressiveness in the managerial ac- tivities that the team was showing in actual combat. 168 activities student activities council student athletic ass ' n Spanish academy Italian academy greek academy law academy physics seminar premedical seminar radio club von past. hist. soc. music clubs dramatics fulton debating soc. sodality sub turri stylus heights class history class preferences Second Row: Riley, Moore. vuA ir m, Gnlhgan, Beauregard, Burke.

For the first time lec- tures by students and professors were open to the school at large in order that those who at one time studied Spanish might again enjoy the tradi- tional Spanish classics. In keeping with the aim of the Spanish Academy ' s director, Mr. Frederick Conlon, members of this academy were admitted from all four classes. It was the duty of each member to prepare and lecture on a given subject on Spanish life. Such topics as Spanish Art and Culture, The Present Situation in Spain, and Spanish Heroes, were discussed. In order that this study of Spain and Spanish speaking nations might not become too classical a weekly news- paper was used by the class. This paper. El Impartial, was published in California and it gave a clear and concise version of Spanish politics. Being an American paper as regards its place of publication it also gave a Spanish viewpoint of American affairs. As a complement to the student member lectures it was the Academy ' s pleasure to listen to a series of ad- dresses by Mr. Conlin. His addresses dealt with Spain as a republic, and Spain as a possible democracy. Throughout these discourses it was clearly shown to the audience that much of Spain ' s political, social and economical trouble was due to a pagan philosophy. The formerly solid Spain with its background of Catholicity was a nation to be ad- mired. Today this nation is in seri- ous straits because of the decline of Catholic principles. Disruption and ultimate revolution caused Spain great sorrow. The sacred shrines which marked the very external mani- festation of Catholic Spain were de- stroyed. The very foundation of life, that which is more sacred than all worldly possessions, namely, religion, had been depressed. No longer was it possible for the Catholic popula- tion of Spain to practice their reli- gion. The state of affairs in Spain was emphasized as critical. In union with this discourse Mr. Conlin delivered an address on Dolan Stenholm. Spanish academy Mexico. The similarity was striking and the realization hardly believable. Wherein Mexico, from the time of its early conquest by Spanish explorers, had been entirely Catholic, today it suffered severely at the hands of Communists. More closely than one would think, this situation was linked up with our o wn country. It was our country who had failed to recog- nize the rightful power in Mexico. As a consequence Mexican rebels gained a decided advantage over the rightful government until today even the suburbs are communistic and the influence of such a movement is disastrous. It would seem hardly possible that such a minority as exist- ed in Mexico could possibly rise to a national power. More than eighty percent of the Mexican people are under compulsory rule and of this eighty percent more than seventy-five percent are Catholic. The evident worth of such a lecture was evident. The persecuted Catholics of Mexico were helpless. The solution and sal- vation lay with us. Since the United States had plunged our Catholic neighbors into this cauldron then it was our task to lift them out. It was the aim of the Academy to have Mr. Conlin continue in the Spring with a discourse on Spanish Influence in America, but due to faculty changes this was not possible. For the past four years it has been my pleasure to study Spanish under Mr. Conlin. During this time I have found him to be most helpful and interested in his students. I am sure that I am voicing the wishes of hun- dreds of others when I say that the Academy wishes him great success in his new location. Mr. Conlin was professor of Eng- lish here at the college in addition to Spanish and many of his former English students were his keenest listeners in matters pertaining to Spain. As a result of a vote by the Academy it was agreed that next year a continuation of the Spanish drama would be shown. An attempt was made this year to start dramatics. The start was auspicious. Three one- act plays and one three-act play were enacted at regular meetings. It is the aim of the Academy to present one of the celebrated Spanish dramas for public approval next year. With all regrets and best wishes for success the seniors of this Academy bid farewell. 172 Left to Right: Anthony Cataldo, Sec, ' 37; Christopher lannella, Pres., ' 36; Ralph Laise, ' 38, Vice-Pres.; Louis Marienello, ' 38, Treasurer. Italian academy The founding of the Italian Academy was inspired by the arrival of a dele- gation of Italian university students at Boston College. A representative group of students at the college were asked by the late Reverend Father McHugh, S.J., to escort these students who were touring America to study the cultural, education, and athletic aspects of American universities, about the campus. Influenced by the enthusiasm and scholarship of the touring students, the men at the col- lege decided to form an Italian Academy, the prime aim being to introduce the study of the Italian language in the college curriculum. The following week on October 17, 1934, a news article in the Heights columns announced that concerted action was taken by a group of stu- dents in sponsoring a petition to in- stall Italian in the school curriculum. Students were made interested in such a petition thru the aggressiveness of C. lannella, ' 36; A. Cataldo, ' 37; L. Marinello, ' 38; and Philip Marco, ' 38. On December 19, 1934, the Acad- emy held a meeting for the purpose of electing officers. The following were chosen: Christopher lannella, ' 36, president; Ralph Luise, ' 38, vice president; Anthony Cataldo, ' 37, secretary; Louis Marienello, ' 38, treasurer. The purpose of the acad- emy was to foster an interest in the Italian language and literature. About thirty-five new members were enrolled when the society car- ried on a membership drive. An encouraging note was the helping hand which Father McHugh lent in urging the founders to carry on with their work and achieve their end. Due to the inability to procure a Moderator, the society ' s purpose was slightly achieved. As far as possible the meetings were conducted in Italian, although lectures on its early literature were delivered in English. The work done in the Academy was little realized by the members until an announcement in the late summer of 1935 revealed that the study of Italian was included in the curriculum by the Reverend Father Maxwell, S.J. Antonio L. Mezza- cappa, Ph.D., late professor at Hobart College, was appointed professor of Italian at Boston College, it was also announced. With the achievement of its pri- mary purpose the Academy under the supervision of the Moderator out- lined plans for an extensive program. The work of the academy was to begin with a study of the lyric poets of Sicily, then proceeding to Fred- erick II, founder of the University of Naples. Papers were prepared on the classical triumvirate of Italian literature, Dante, Petrarch and Boc- caccio. The talks were supplemented by Professor Mezzacappa who pre- sented interesting sidelights on the authors ' lives and works. Since upperclassmen were unable to undertake a formal study of the language in class, a half hour of every meeting was devoted to the study of Russo ' s Italian Grammar. Attending the meetings, although burdened with a long schedule, a group of pre-medical students showed interest in acquiring a working knowledge of the language. The number of students entering Boston College next year with an elementary knowledge of the lan- guage studied in high school will greatly supplement the membership. 173 O ' Connor, Thayer, Foley. While in years past, under the scholarly attention and inspiring supervision of Mr. Joseph P. Shan- ahan, S.J., the Greek Academy has had as its prime purpose to develop within the individual members a real ability in the translation of the Greek language, so that a keener interest in, and a greater love for, the art and literature of Hellas might con- sequently be attained, and for this end has availed itself of the inex- haustible stores in the treasure-house of epic and lyric poetry, taking its selections mainly from Homer ' s Hiad and The Greek Anthology, and of philosophical and oratorical prose, with especial devotion to the Dialogues of Plato and the Orations of Demosthenes, during the scholastic year 1935-1936, under the kindly eye of Mr. Paul J. McManus, S.J., in the firm belief that in universal lit- erature there is no author better adapted to meet the literary needs of young students, to lead them to a genuine appreciation of Greece her- self, what she was and what her in- fluence has been, to inculcate within them a grasp of correct methods of reasoning, to inspire them with a clear realization of the need for high principles of conduct and lofty idealism coupled with a command of practical details, than the prince of orators himself, the Academy had as its basic text the Public Orations of Demosthenes. In the meetings prom- inence was given to accurate transla- tion, historical background, and analysis of rhetorical art. The Demosthenic eloquence and speech- art, as manifested chiefly in the mar- shalling of completed arguments, in the development of individual argu- ments, in the perfection of the transi- tions, in the amplification of eino- tions, in the sense for the precisely proper word, and in the figures of rhetoric in the narrower signification, were the subject of close observation and at times of imitation. Genuine appreciation of the great master of Attic prose was fostered by contrast with the oratorical methods of Aeschines, Cicero, and the English orators. Independent studies in the various aspects of the Demosthenic style, in his agonistic virtue, and in his influence on later teachers of rhetoric and public speakers were encouraged. greek academy This extensive program of study in the orations of Demosthenes in gen- eral culminated in a successful public presentation by the officers of the Academy, in the evening of May 8, 1936, at the Philomatheia Clubhouse on Commonwealth Avenue, before an audience of Hellenists from neighbor- ing schools and colleges. The pres- entation, at which the audience was invited to propose questions covering the entire field of Greek syntax, translation of the orations, their his- torical background, the precepts of rhetoric, and comparisons with other orations, ancient and modern, con- sisted in an exposition of the three Orations against Philip of Demos- thenes by Mr. Thomas J. O ' Connor, ' 38, of a defense of the Oration against Ctesiphon of Aeschines by Mr. John I. Foley, ' 36. The year was considered thoroughly profitable by the members of the Academy and en- tirely satisfactory by its Reverend Moderator. The officers for 1935-1936 were: President, Carl J. Thayer, ' 36; vice- president, John I. Foley, ' 36; secre- tary, Thomas J. O ' Connor, ' 38. 174 Dunn, O ' Neil, Walsh 2nd Row.

This academy was founded and organized in the fall of 1936 and has climbed to an important place in the extra-curric- ular activities of the College. It has as its moderator Mr. Anthony J. Julian, a graduate of Boston College and Harvard Law School, the pro- fessor of law here at the College. Law is a noble profession and so truly is the aim and purpose of this Academy. For to better acquaint students and members interested in law with the fundamentals, elements and basic principles of law is a great aim. Law touches and deals with almost every phase of man ' s activi- ties. The academy through its mem- bers looked into many of the work- ings of law and considered the im- portance of this profession to man- kind. Past and present leaders and benefactors of our nation who were and are lawyers were studied. Stu- dents at Boston College were able to gather together and discuss law from countless aspects. Here at the weekly meetings, they learned the worth of law and the future it held for lawyers of tomorrow. From the very start, the academy received enthusiastic and staunch sup- port by members of the law class and those outside the law class. The academy is indeed grateful for the kind assistance and encouragment of Fr. Maxwell, S.J., Dean of the Col- lege. With the same enthusiasm and support it has flourished. At its first important meeting, it held an election of officers. Peter A. Alukonis, ' 36, was elected president, Lawrence J. Hern, ' 36, vice president; Marcus H. Sullivan, ' 36, secretary-treasurer; Thomas P. O ' Neill, Jr., ' 36, Sergeant at Arms. The president appointed Frederick W. Roche as head of the Advisory Committee and the Committee to draw up a Constitution. The Com- mittee consisted of prominent mem- bers: Joseph H. Killion, ' 36, Sidney Dunn, Jr., ' 36, Philip A. Tracy, ' 36, Joseph R. St. Pierre, ' 36, Marcus H. Sullivan, ' 36. The Constitution contained the offi- cial name of the Academy, its pur- pose, scope of activities and elements essential to a well-organized and reg- ulated academy. It hopes one day to have a shelf of Law Books in the Library for the use of members of the academy and law course. Mr. E. Mark Sullivan, Chairman of the Boston Finance Commission, was the academy ' s first lecturer. He gave a very excellent speech and beneficial advice as to the future in law for young men who are about to enter law school, and those intending to make law their life ' s work. The academy has striven to obtain such high caliber lecturers at each of its meetings. Such prominent men and speakers as the Hon. Jos. F. O ' Con- nell; Rev. Francis J. Driscoll, S.J., who spoke on Corporations; Mr. Harry M. Doyle, who gave the mem- bers beneficial knowledge of the workings of Constitutional law, and many others lectured to the members of the academy and students of the College. However, lectures and speeches were not limited to such men as have (Continued on page 198) 175 Physics Seminar. phy The rnembers of the faculty in the Physics department and all students in graduate Physics and the Junior and Senior B. S. in Physics courses attend the seminars. The scientific and philosophic aspects of the ques- tion under discussion were treated by the members. With philosophy as a thread and the facts from Physics as beads, each semina r tried to thread the beads. In the first seminar Dr. D ' Alelio gave the facts about the laws of Thermo-dynamics and Mr. Burns, S.J., tied them together in philosophy. In the second seminar, Prof. Zager explained the facts of spectroscopy and Mr. Devlin, S.J., gave the theories about the Bohr atom. In the third, Prof. Gage explained electrical cir- cuits and Mr. Power connected the facts in the electron theory. In the fourth, Dr. Marcou explained Max- well ' s equations and Mr. Freno ap- plied them to electrostatics. In the fifth, Father Tobin, S.J., explained the emission of electrons and Mr. Mathison derived the equations. In the sixth. Father Kelly, S.J., ex- sics seminar plained the theory of measurement. Doctor White and Mr. Shork, Mr. Cedrone and Mr. Sullivan and then the members of the Senior and Junior class gave the seminars in the second semester. From the open discussion by the members in the seminars, this bridging of the facts measured in Physics and the explanation in Scholastic Philosophy is most timely for our students. Perhaps it is the fact that this pioneering in linking Physics and Philosophy is a real challenge to interested students. 176 pre -medical The Pre-Medical Academy of the Class of 1936 came into existence in January of the Senior year. Rev. Francis J. Dore, S.J., head of the Department of Biology, consented to serve as Moderator. The following were elected officers : T. Guy Gardner, President; Cornelius W. Owens, Vice President; John A. Burke, Secretary; Edward F. Kickham, Treasurer. The purpose of the society was to discuss the ethical viewpoint of medical sub- jects, many of which are considered debatable even in the medical pro- fession. A secondary aim of the or- ganization was to bring the members into closer personal contact. Since men taking the Pre-Medical course were obliged to spend long hours in the laboratories friendships were bound to suffer. The Pre-Medical Academy thus brought together in the sunlight men who had hitherto only fraternized in the dusky twilight. At the meetings various members made speeches which they had fully prepared on pertinent subjects. Fol- lowing these informal Round Table discussions were held which proved to be particularly interesting. Con- sidering that most of the men intend to enter Medicine many valuable points of knowledge were gained which will no doubt help in their future life. An added feature was the showing of a medical cinema. All in all the Moderator and offi- cers of the Pre-Medical Academy feel that the purpose of organization was achieved. A fuller knowledge of some points of medical morality was realized, warm and close friendships were undoubtedly knit between the men and it is hoped that both these effects will last well into the future. Subjects discussed were: Sterility and Impotence Abortions, Natural and Therapeutic Contraception Pregnancy Ectopic Gestation Birth Control 1st Row — Uictm, Gardner, Kickham. 2nd Row — Colpoys, J. A.

Driscoll, Vice-Pres. radio club Boston College in keeping with modern scientific aciiievements, has for the past number of years given facilities of a radio club to the students at the college. Some of the most efficient apparatus has been used in the transmitter located in the science building S206. The equipment of the club consists of a transmitter, tritet design, operated by two 800 type tubes in push pull circuit; other tubes consist of type 59, and 5Z3 rectifiers. The main plate supply is pow- ered by a large generator 220 volt primary with a no load delivery of 1000. The meter panel is composed of the highest grade instruments, and all controls are neatly set into a black metal panel. This transmitter may be operated on twenty or forty meters, and by a simple change of coils on other amateur frequencies. The output calculated in watts lies in the near vicinity of 110-120. The receiver employed for reception of incoming signals is a superheterodyne FB7 and a Peak Pre- selector, both popular equipment for ama- teur stations. This same FB7 is also used to monitor the signals from W-l-PR. In addition to the transmitter described above which is operated only on code, there is another smaller circuit, set to the ultra high frequency of five meters, and is capable of both phone and code operation. The output of this set is two watts, but independent of its low power, it has been a very efficient means of communication up to a distance of thirty-five miles (short distance being characteristic of five meters due to the fact that the waves penetrate the heaviside layer and are not reflected back to earth). Code oscillators and am- plifiers are available to members who de- sire to learn the code, and an automatic code machine may be connected to the oscillator if so desired. The membership of the club this year reached one of its greatest enrollments. Fr. Tobin, S.J., on several occasions con- gratulated the renewed interest in the work of the club. The activities of the Radio Club this past year consisted in lectures, tours, a Christmas get-together, and visits to com- mercial broadcast stations. The lectures were given by Fr. Tobin, S.J., Mr. Gager, M.S., A. Francis Hilbrunner and John Driscoll. Fr. Tobin ' s lecture was centered around the history formation and explanation of Ohm ' s Law. This talk was listened to most attentively, and only the fact that Fr. Tobin was busily engaged during the following meetings, prevented any further discussions on his part. Mr. Gager, M.S., spoke on capacitance, inductance, the Hartley Oscillator with mutual, and the comparison of long and short waves con- sidered in nature and effectiveness. Frank Hilbrunner gave a series of discussions, among which were contained the funda- mental concepts of electricity, key symbols of radio parts, alternating and direct cur- rents, and the necessity of a proper filter to smooth out and eliminate impurities. Later, time was given to the factors enter- ing into stable voltage delivery, schematic diagrams, and type antenna circuits. The construction operation and uses of the vacuum tube constituted a following series of talks. As a fitting conclusion during the last part of the year, the laws and regulations of the Federal Communica- tions Commission were treated at length, along with the limits of the amateur bands, and type of emission allowed on these frequencies. John Driscoll, vice president, closed the series of talks on the detector circuit, amplifiers, and change of frequency dependent on oscillation. The activities of the club are not, as many might think, limited to the radio room. Much time is consumed at home by the members in the study of code and radio diagrams. Perhaps it would be interesting to note that many colleges have let their radio clubs slide into non-existence. Boston College has been one of the few to main- tain a club from the time of its founding, by the donation of Cardinal O ' Connell of its original equipment, to the present time of its more modernized apparatus, holding as its call throughout these years W-l-PR. For this reason then, we can surely be proud of the club, since it functions within a college of a majority of A.B. men. In fact the A.B. men constitute the greater number of active members. The purpose of an amateur station such as W-l-PR does not only bring about many hours of enjoyment, but also stands by to receive messages (free of charge under government regulation) , and especially proves its worth in establishing communi- cation between isolated sections, as wit- nessed during the flood disaster March 1936. Few people realize the service ren- dered man and country by the hundreds of organized amateur operators, who sacrifice many hardships without pecuniary return to render practical service by their knowl- edge and experience. Communication at W-l-PR has been world wide, limited not to America, but touching most extreme points of Europe and Australia. Verification of these con- tacts may be witnessed at the Radio Room, by bona fide reports from these remote places. A great variety and number of these same cards may be seen at any time in the club room. Tlie practical aspect of radio also proved (Continued on page 209) 178 history academy In tribute to the memory of Ludwig Von Pastor, renowned Vatican his- torian, there was founded at Boston College in 1931 the Von Pastor His- torical Society. Historical science has been developed to a remarkable de- gree during the last generation. It has contributed in many ways not only to a better understanding of past events but also to a more amiable relation with men of present times. One of the leaders of this science in the realm of Church History was Dr. Von Pastor. This year, the members purposed to investigate and co-;sider the figures and movements of history which were of personal interest. At each meeting a student read a paper on a selected topic. The papers were supple- mented with a general discussion by the members. Mr. Bernard J. Finne- gan, S.J., the moderator, secured many well-known lecturers for the meetings intervening the student lec- tures. The society has endeavored to give an unbiased judgment of the historical facts presented. In this period of spirited liberalism when pseudo-history, skeptical views, and confused values are the order of the day, a sound, logical and unpreju- diced consideration of the truths is sorely needed. Throughout the year, the program has been directed toward a review of the influence of the Church on the history treated. For as Christ, the God incarnate, is the center of all history, so the divine institution of the Church is the center of the history of the Christian Era.

This purpose is carried out by private study, supervised class study, and public concerts. In this organization, as indeed in every other, the Class of 1936 has played a prominent part. Early in 1933, stocked with a goodly number of Freshmen, the Glee Club and Orchestra, under the direc- tion of Mr. James Ecker, set forth on a long and successful series of con- certs given in Lowell, New Bedford, Weston, Whitman, and Boston, as well as at the college. The musical program included pieces by Salter. Rasbach, Herbert, Gershwin, Nolcke, Block, Clay, Delibes, and Wagner. The culmination of the season was reached in the joint concert with the Holy Cross Musical Clubs which was given in Jordan Hall, Boston, on April 30. The following year, with the addi- tion of still more members of our illustrious class, the Clubs were far more successful. Concerts were given at Jordan Hall under the auspices of the Catholic Union of Boston (Feb. 25), at the college for the Philo- matheia Club (Mar. 9), at Weston College (Mar. 11), at Milton (Mar. 17), at the Centre Club in New York (April 6), at Regis College, Weston (April 11), at Emmanuel College, Boston (April 15), at Woonsocket, R. I. (April 18), at Roslindale (May 2) and at Pittsfield (May 6). The annual joint concert with Holy Cross Musical Clubs was given at the Copley-Plaza Hotel on April 29. The musical program for the 1934 season included works by Massenet, Charpi, Gounod, Coates, Grieg, Liszt, and Palestrina. This program was indeed the best, with regard to qual- ity and balance that the clubs have offered during the last four years. The most gratifying part of the pro- gram was the Palestrina group of liturgical music, a group, in the words of our Reverend Modera- tor, so Catholic in character, so structurally beautiful, and at the same time redolent of the Ages of Faith when music and religion were knit together, when Nature reflected the craftsmanship of its Creator in the hearts of all Christians, untainted with sceptical agnosticism or positive unbelief. It was the privilege of the Music Clubs to broadcast twice in conjunction with the Catholic Truth Hour wherein they offered a program composed entirely of litur- gical music. The following year, with a large number of juniors the Music Clubs The band sweeps down the field for Boston. 180 Front Row: Mr. Ecker, Scully, Miller, Cunning, Burns, Dineen, Casey, Glendal, McCauley, Donovan, Kickham, Clinton, Sullivan.

It was again the privilege of the Musical Clubs to broadcast a number of times over Station WNAC in conjunction with the Catholic Truth Period dur- ing which the programs offered were entirely composed of liturgical selec- tions. This year the Music Clubs had a less glamorous yet successful year. Concerts were given at the College for Junior week and for the Philo- matheia, at Regis, at Weston, at Brockton before the Twentieth Cen- tury Club, at Whitman, Fall River, Pittsfield, Winthrop, and Noiwood, with final concert at Hotel Somerset. During these four years the Clubs have had Rev. L. J. Gilleran, S.J., as Moderator, and Mr. James Ecker as director. It can be truly said that under the direction and supervision of these musicians the Music Clubs have made a distinct advance in the appreciation and performance of the highest, and noblest type of music, and that the Class of 1936 has done its part in contributing to this musi- cal achievement. 181 1st Row: St. Pierre, Dnscoll, Burke, Broderick. 2nd Row: Aliikonis, Mullin, M.

The opening scene presented Mrs. Lars Anderson ' s romantic comedy Dick Whittington and many pleasing cir- cumstances surrounded our first im- pressions of Boston College theatri- cals. Frank Mulligan, student head of the Dramatic Association, played leads in both scenes of this first act but freshman profiles in the back- ground were in a large part responsi- ble for the huge success that attended the endeavors, of course. The second scene followed the light trend of the play as presented in the first sortie and set the stage for the exciting plot that followed. It was a musical extravaganza en- titled Captain Applejack and, al- ready, signs were pointing to colossal fruition if the talented plebes con- tinued to show their startling im- provement. Then, the first act ended in a wave of song and triumph as Captain Applejack brought his dar- ing escapades to a climactic finish. The audience showed approval with enthusiastic applause and the spec- tators began to sit forward in their seats lest they miss the effects of the remaining epochs in a history-making opus. The men of ' 36 who stood out in the first act were Henry Beaure- gard, Herb Carroll, Jim O ' Leary, Lou Mercier, Ned Merrick and Austin Act II The opening scene of the second act contained both comedy and pathos. A new director was assigned to the difficult task of carrying on what Father Charles Roddy, S.J., Moderator of the previous year, had begun with such great success. Mr. Joseph Kenealy, S.J., offered first an excellent portrayal of a popular satire about Hollywood. The audience chuckled and laughed at the idiosyn- cracies of temperamental movie stars as described in Once in a Lifetime. Again an upper classman played the most important role but the Class of ' 36 was rapidly coming to the fore and the spotlights had little difficulty in finding the personalities of Joe Ecker, Phil Tracy, Henry Beauregard, Bill and Joe Ryan and Jack Daley. Walter Herlihy, ' 35, president then and the following year, drew the ma- jority of the plaudits but he was quick to admit the promising great- ness of the sophomores in his sup- porting cast. In the latter part of the scene, the theme essayed the melancholic depth of Shakespeare ' s Hamlet. The stage of the Reper- tory Theatre witnessed the passing and the making of royalty in the supreme art of the Avon Bard ' s mas- terpiece. Jack Lally, Bud St. Pierre, 182 John Galvin, Joe Ranieri, Bill Pro- venzano and Gerry Burke made their first appearance in Chestnut Hill dramatics befo re the first scene of the second act came to close. In the following scene, the note of tragedy was continued in a modern background. A timely topic was pre- sented in the realistic version of R. C. Sherriff ' s drama of the dugouts. Journey ' s End. Again the Class of 1936 played a prominent part in the cast of twelve. Bill Provenzano and Gerry Burke portrayed two British officers sharing fortune and misfor- tune on the war-torn battlefields of France. Then, the plot was light- ened by a short morality play Every- man presented during Lent, before the outstanding event of the year took place. Finally, Edward Bulwer- Lytton ' s Cardinal Richelieu was produced in May. The size of the cast and the proportions of the pro- duction caused the Moderator to de- cide on the more extensive facilities of the Hollis Theatre for presentation. The play was excellently done by a superb cast and the second act ended in thunderous applause. Between the acts, a banquet was given the members of the cast and speeches heard from the old and new presidents. For our last year and the final act the following officers were elected: President Gerard F. Burke, ' 36 Vice-President . . Stanley J. Driscoll, ' 37 Secretary-Treasurer, J. Raoul St. Pierre, ' 36 Business Manager . . John R. Broderick, ' 36 Publicity Director ... John E. Lally, ' 36 Stage Manager . . Martin B. Mahoney, ' 38 Before school started, Father Frederick T. McCarten, S.J., was appointed Moderator to succeed Mr. Kenealy, S.J. Act III The final act brought the drama to a fitting close in that it marked a permanent achievement in dramatic progress at the Heights. The first Play Shop in Boston College history was organized and, at its first meet- ing, elected Stanley J. Driscoll, ' 37, president. Also named were Peter A. Alukonis, ' 36, Business Manager; William L. Barry, ' 36, Assistant Business Manager, and Edward J. Ferrarone, ' 39, Stage Manager. Its initial efforts were presented in the Library Auditorium and Bob Cahill, ' 36, Jack Broderick, ' 36, Pete Alu- konis, ' 36, Bill Barry, ' 36, and Gerry Burke, ' 36, contributed to the success of the innovation. 183 fulton The ability of self-expression has long been a cherished element in the equipment of every Boston College man. Towards this important goal, the Fulton has given its members a sturdy impulse. Always known for its external work in inter-collegiate debating, the Fulton sheds its more beneficial effect in the weekly meet- ings and open forums. Each speaker is trained, not merely to express his thoughts, but to do so in an interest- ing, pointed and clinching manner, which will invite argument without repudiation. The main point of in- terest, and the principal attraction in the Fulton, has been these open ses- sions when repartee, wit and argu- mentation fly about as if the future of the nation rested on the member ' s exposition of national policies. Under the guidance of the Modera- tor, Mr. Leo O ' Keefe, S.J., the foren- sic powers of the students were turned from attacks on the Fulton constitution to discussions of the New Deal. Once the inviolability of this document was established, matters of everyday worth and current interest came before our embryo voters. With matters capably managed by the offi- cial board of L. Riley, H. Beauregard, J. Foley, J. McLaughlin and S. Dunn during the first term, the house was able to enjoy a very fine first term. Weekly discussions ranged from the famous Teacher ' s Oath Bill, through government policies to the benefits of the machine age. Controlled deli- cately yet firmly by the moderator, the questions were kept to the prac- tical side and filibusters eliminated. Yet certain elements and events stand out in the year ' s meetings. There was the usual preamble by someone in the open forum to the effect that all the debaters (after two weeks work), had missed the main point of the discussion. This was usually the signal for a few more points at issue that had been overlooked to be discovered by some inspired members. A group always seemed to form outside the door to tiansact important business with the Moderator before the session began. The most famous remark, and the most eagerly anticipated, was the President ' s greeting to new members. I trust your stay in Fulton may be enjoyable, and now you may see the Treasurer and remove the only bar- rier to your full membership — the initiation fee. Despite a merger of business periods, old and new, into one unit, the alloted time produced only one fiercely contested motion — The Toby Bill — which was finally de- feated. The only division in the house seems to be the Rightists who crowd the aisle near the door, and the few Republicans who clamber into the far corner. Another favorite pastime of the members was to assail occasionally the questions set forth by the Literary Committee, usually after the debate, so all arguments were in vain. With the election of the officers for second term, the open forum lost its most active member when H. Beau- regard succeeded L. Riley in the president ' s chair. The remainder of the staff was J. Jones, B. Shea, S. Dunn and C. Miller. Most famous acceptance speech was by the treas- urer : I have long desired to be treasurer of this society. May we ask why? An innovation in procedure came with the observance of a one minute ' s silence after the day ' s debate, so that the members would have op- portunity to ponder upon the merits of the discussion. The pause was very dramatic and refreshing. As usual the highlights of the season were the intercollegiate de- bates. M. L T. was the first oppo- nent, and unsuccessfully advocated Federal aid to education. The Boston team of Robert Russell, Brendon Shea and John Donelan carried off the unanimous decision in Walker Audi- torium. On December 5, Cambridge University, England, formed the op- position here at the Heights. With a capacity crowd in the Library hall, Henry Beauregard and Lawrence Riley kept the Fulton on its winning path as they upheld the American trepartite government as opposed to the English form of legislative su- premacy. Limiting themselves to an aggressive, factual argument the Boston College men undermined the Englishmen ' s theoretical proposi- tions. In January the Friars of Providence came to Boston to uphold the right of Congress to veto Supreme Court decisions voiding laws. How- ever, the Boston team of Stanley Driscoll, Joseph Jones and Lawrence Riley ably defended the present American form of government and The Fulton Room with the Fulton wall ivhere the names of Fulton Prize Debate winners are listed in gold letters. 184 Standing: McLaughlin, Dunn, Beauregard, Jones, Burke, Shea. Sitting: Riley. won a unanimous decision. Taking to the air waves, the Fulton team of John Foley and Fred Roche upheld the same question in a no decision debate with Bates. To prove that midyears had no bad reactions on the various members, the intercollegiate teams continued to pile up their im- pressive record. New Hampshire was defeated by the team of John Keary, Maurice Fitzgerald, and John Donelan who upheld the justice and constitutionality of Supreme Court decisions. Then travelling to Salem, the Dartmouth team was outclassed as they failed to match the skill of Timothy Sullivan and Mark Dalton, in a dispute over the new rules for government control of business. In the most popular Boston debate in several years, the Fulton tangled with Harvard. Historic Ford Hall was packed with those anxious to see if Boston College could hold its mas- tery over the boys from across the river. Lawrence Riley, Paul Power and Henry Beauregard defended the affirmative side of the proposition President Roosevelt is deserving of the confidence of the American peo- ple. Boston College presented a well rounded case showing the full- ness of the Administration ' s reforms, their permanency and actual effec- tiveness. However, Harvard was awarded their first decision in six de- bates with Boston College after a very even debate. Getting back in stride, the Fulton won a clear victory over the Univer- sity of Maine. Richard Kelley and Fred Roche defended the validity of five-four decisions of the Supreme Court as opposed to the power of Congress to veto such decisions. The undefeated Lafayette debaters next crossed arguments with Boston. After a reception and inspection tour as guests of the city of Quincy, Lawrence Riley and John Donelan put the first smudge on Lafayette ' s slate as they defended the Supreme Court, and won a unanimous verdict. The first week in April brought the year ' s away from home debates. The team which championed Roose- velt in the Harvard debate was in- vited to attend the National Political Conference in Washington. So the Fultonians were given their oppor- tunity to watch the machinery of gov- ernment in actual operation, and visit the national buildings. Long before their departure they were well in- formed on every interesting place in the city. The actual debating tour consisted of debates with St. Peter ' s College in New Jersey, and New Rochelle, New York. The Boston team of John Donelan, Joseph Jones and Mark Dalton upheld the Roose- velt Administration as deserving of the people ' s confidence. Debates with Princeton and the old rival Holy Cross rounded out the most ambitious and successful Fulton season in recent years. Because of the full schedule, and the popularity attained by the Fulton teams, which drew capacity audiences in all of their debates, the annual prize debate was not held until the first of May. After a novel elimina- tion contest which tested all the de- bating powers of the aspirants. Lawrence Riley, Mark Dalton, Paul Power, Joseph Jones, Maurice Fitz- gerald and John Donelan were select- ed to compete for the Roberts Medal. The present holder of the award, Henry Beauregard, was not included in the trials. Although the public program of the society has received the notice of the people, we cannot forget that it (Continued on page 207) 185 Fr. Harding, Riley, King, Jones, Gordon. sodality Catholic Action became the symbol of all Catholic enterprise during the past year. Here, our Senior Sodality set out to fill the promise shown at the school of Catholic Action last summer. At the regular meetings, and before various well-disposed groups in Greater Boston, the Sodalist thrashed out the more outstanding problems of Church and State. Under the spiritual guidance of Mary, and the energetic leadership of Fr. Hard- ing, we tried to bring the problems of the Church in some small way to the notice of our fellow students and our outside audiences. Protestantism, War, Ideal States, and the Mystical Body of Christ were treated intramurally. The subjects may sound a bit heavy, but they were very well treated and presented most novelly. The breakdown of Protestantism was considered from a historical, scientific and prac- tical view, by Sodalists Foley, Stenholm, Flynn and Adelmann. As a parallel feature the attitude of the Church toward Science, the Bishopric at Rome, and the new Paganism re- ceived careful consideration from Messrs. Daly, Ahearn, Coveney and Zuromskis. War, in all its backstage intrigues, horrible results and empty futility, was the second topic before the Sodality. It was almost entirely a Junior presentation with the junior members Vincent, Coughlin, Gaquin, Moran, O ' Connor, Folkard and Keary presenting papers on the matter. The subject was closed with a debate on the possibility of a just war, between Beauregard and Mullaney. During the Christmas holidays the Sodality inaugurated a new spiritual help for the students in the form of a retreat at Bellarmine House in Cohasset. The three day retreat exer- cises were given by Fr. Tivnan who illustrated the usual spiritual exer- cises of Ignatius with his own experi- ences and observations in the Holy Land. With midyears safely passed the academic work of the Sodality con- tinued with a series of papers dealing with famous ideal states from ancient to modern times. The government proposed by Plato, Cicero, Marx, Thomas Moore and the Popes were exposed and criticized by a series of speakers including all four officers who had to uphold the Senior pres- tige against the excellent work of the Juniors on War. Sodalists speaking about the ideal states were Gordon Mullaney, Donelan, and Beauregard, Thomas, Jones, King, Riley and Mc- Laughlin. As the fitting climax to the year ' s work, the final topic was the Mystical Body of Christ. Chris- tian charity in all its phases, the colored question, Catholic settlement homes, and the Sacrifice of the Mass were treated by Sodalists Delahoyde. Scannell, Keating, Russell, Ahearn and Carr. This ambitious program was brought to a close by the second annual Sodality banquet at a large down town hotel. An overflow crowd listened to Senorita Del Valle, Dean of the Catholic Women ' s College, in Mexico City, tell of her experiences and suffering for the faith in our neighboring country. Inasmuch as the Persecutions in Mexico were dis- cussed by the Sodality, the story of a participant in these bloody affairs was of especial significance and in- terest to us. More interesting and human, how- ever, were the many little sidelights that crop up during the year. Father Harding ' s just a ' few ' words, gentle- men will always linger with us. Then we had our antiphonal recital of the Office every First Monday. It took a bit of effort to get the responses in proper order but the result is edify- ing. Groups of lower classmen could never resist the temptation to peek in the windows at the meetings. And the Sodality office was a pleasant innovation, with its opportunity for quiet readings and discussions. Father Feeney ' s talk on the Blessed Virgin will always be enshrined in our mem- ory. It was a marvelous insight into a great doctrine. Like charity. Sodal- ity activities begin at home, but the Moderator wanted to show the people of Boston that the Sodality here was something more than an assembly for personal devotion, that it is an active hustling group of Catholic children of Mary. So topics of vital impor- Fr.

The first unit, composed of Messrs. Foley, Jones, Flynn, Riley and Ahearn, dealt with the Persecution of the Church in Mexico. Treating of the real state of the so called Aztec civilization in Mexico, and showing it to be really a murderous, warlike confederacy, the true work of the early missionaries in Mexico was emphasized and clarified. Then the long, crafty, bloody struggle of Church and State was outlined, and the terrific loss to the people, as schools, hospitals and Churches were confiscated, was shown to be due to greed. Woodrow Wilson ' s part in placing the revolutionists in power Was exposed, and the series concluded w ith a discussion of the present rela- tions — mostly shameful — of the United States and Mexico. This group was in wide demand, visiting Brighton twice; East Boston, Forest Hills, Roxbury and Natick. The hardy members were forced to brave last autumn ' s worst cloudburst and go to East Boston, but they managed to get by flooded streets and driving rain to appear before a large group. On the Roxbury appearance competition was furnished by a quartet across the street. The evening ended happily, however. Unit two, containing Sodalists Coughlin, O ' Connor, Moran, Keary, Mullaney and Beauregard lectured on Peace and War. The insidious propa- ganda, and news garbling used in war time ; the manner in which Amer- ica was fooled before; the hidden in- trigues and treason of the munitions manufacturers; the empty and useless results of war; and a very heated and interesting debate on the possi- bility of there being a just war in our times, comprised the presentation of these young men. Presentations were given at the Philomatheia, Natick, Regis and Brighton. For some unknown reason, all the women ' s clubs wanted the war topic. The greatest thrill for this group was when their appearance was featured in the Regis Herald, while a noted lecturer was relegated to the bottom of the page. Communism was exposed and re- futed by the third group of students. King, Killion, Dunn and Flynn. The series was given as a return engage- ment at several of the previous places where lectures were given, notably East Boston and Quincy. Karl Marx ' s life and doctrines were explained and their fallacies shown; the tragedy of Russia was exposed; and the true theory of Catholic Social Justice set forth. So vigorous and destructive was the presentation of one of the speakers that he stopped a Communist heckler cold, and was finally chal- lenged to public debate (the Com- munist failed to appear). The outstanding work and goal of Father Harding was recognized by Sodality headquarters when they as- signed the School of Catholic Action to Boston College for the second suc- cessive year. When Father took over the Sodality a few years ago, it was a rather diffident and quiet organiza- tion, but he had great plans and Mary has certainly blessed his work. The term Catholic Action means some- thing to us now — it means a group of Catholic youths who are willing to follow the lead of the clergy and do something worth while for the love of Christ. This has been done in the Sodality. Starting two years ago, a program of student speakers, both in the Sodality and before groups of the laity, was built up. Now, with action bringing its own results, and the program built on correct Catholic topics, the Sodality is growing of its own momentum while its quality is bringing in constant demands for its speakers. The officers for 1935-36 were: Lawrence J. Riley, ' 36, Prefect; Joseph E. King, ' 36, Vice-Prefect; Joseph F. Jones, ' 36, First Assistant; Brenton S. Gordon, ' 36, Secretary. The members of the advisory board were: Henry G. Beauregard, ' 36, Anthony P. Flynn, ' 36, John I. Foley, ' 36, A. Francis Hilbrunner, ' 36, James J. Keating, ' 36, J. Francis Scannell, Jr., ' 36, Frederick J. Adel- mann, ' 37, Harold M. Carr, ' 37, Paul J. Coughlin, ' 37, John F. Donelan, ' 37, John E. Keary, ' 37, James V. Mullaney, ' 37, and the faculty Moderator of course was Father Michael J. Harding, S.J. As we prepare to step out of the ranks of active members of Our Lady ' s Sodality on the Hill we just want to say a word of thanks to Jim Keating whose flying fingers at the piano brought harmony and varietv to most of our programs, to Frank Hilbrunner who chauffered the speakers and Moderator to the public appearances, to Father Harding who made the Sodality what it is. who obtained a home for it. and who gave us all a new start on Sodality life.

The book, its price, and its date of publication constitute the most important comment. But the Sub Turri of 1936 would have been impossible without the very kind aid supplied to it by others outside of the staff. The Sub Turri of 1936 particularly wishes to acknowledge the assist- ance of all the patrons and ad- vertisers, the Philomatheia Club, the White Studio, the Heffernan Press, and the Howard-Wesson Engraving Company. Mr. Russell Knight of the Howard-Wesson Company was far more than a capable representative. He was a godsend in his ideas and in his ready and cheerful work in the time of the Sub Turri ' s greatest need. The Sub Turri is also very grateful for the enormous amount of work well done by Miss Eleanor M. Lally, Simmons, ' 38. The Sub Turri of 1936 is especially grateful to the Boston Herald and the Boston Globe for permission to use their sports pictures, and to Bill Hayward, the Globe representative, for his very kind assistance.

Changes in format were introduced, calculated to give The Stylus a more professional and attractive appear- ance. These included running the editorials half-page vertically on end-pages of coated paper at the front and back of the book, and the use of cuts, pictures illustrating the arti- cles published. In accord with the modern trend the cuts were run bled, i.e. without margins. Three of them were included in the first issue. John T. Galvin, who was appointed Business Manager at the end of the year 1934-35, was unable to continue his studies in the fall, and Austin W. Brewin, subscription manager, was promoted to fill the vacancy. The Rev. John A. O ' Brien, S.J., faculty director, was assisted by Mr. Charles J. Reardon, S.J. Few manuscripts were submitted by non-members of the staff. Paul V. Power, associate editor, and editor of The Heights, took Mr. Beebe to task and put Boston in its place, and pleaded the cause of the neglected oyster in the course of a series of original and distinctive articles. Managing Editor Mark Dalton ' s arti- cles on Heywood Broun, Frank Moore Colby, and George Santayana, put these gentlemen in the right in the eyes of the world. The Business Manager, Austin W. Brewin submit- ted several poems of exceptional merit and a short story. The sub- scription situation through his con- scientious efforts was mangled be- yond repair. It must be said in his defense that there were many days in the course of the year when it was impossible to get into The Stylus office. Edward L. Fitzmaurice was in charge of circulation. In January, Gerard F. Burke, advertising man- ager, resigned. Humorous articles and book reviews of professional calibre were written by the depart- mental editor, Joseph W. McCarthy. Of the editorial council, Edward M. Merrick contributed poetry, George McDonough to Humoresque and a short story; and the moral and lit- erary support of Harold M. Carr, and Henry G. Beauregard was felt and enjoyed by all. During the course of the year, a prize short story con- test was conducted, yielding There ' s A Marriage At Mara, by T. A. Sullivan, ' 37, and Be A Wolf, by Paul F. Burns, ' 38. Six pictures illustrating an article by the editor, Louis F. V. Mercier, on the London Times were reproduced in the February issue by special per- mission of the Times. Mercier also wrote several short stories and the editorials. 190 Standing: Vaas, larrobino, Collins. Sitting: Mercier, Power, Dalton, Fitzmaurice. heights The Heights of the last year in col- lege of the Class of 1936 was gen- erally agreed to be the best series of issues in many years. This progress in the production of the official news- organ of Boston College was due to a four-fold endowment, the installa- tion of Paul Power as Editor-in-Chief, the filling of the staff with very com- petent men, the invigorating influence of the Moderator, Fr. John Chap- man, S.J., and his able assistant Mr. Charles J. McGill, formerly a Bridgeport editor, now Instructor in Journalism. Editor Power brought to his post long years of experience of The Heights and The Stylus together with all the influence of a unique person- ality. His editorials reflected his ability to draw logically upon his last reading for the benefit of what- ever point he wished to make. He was aided by Mark Dalton, Managing Editor; Louis Mercier, News Editor; Charles larrobino, ' 37, Sports Editor; Leo J. Coveney, ' 37, Exchange Edi- tor; John P. Gately, Jr., ' 38, Adver- tising Manager; I Joseph Vaas, ' 37, Circulation Manager, and by the fol- lowing Associate Editors: Austin Brewin, J. Raoul St. Pierre, William V. Collins, Edward Fitzmaurice, Robert Callahan, ' 38, Joseph McCar- thy, ' 38, George McDonough, ' 37, and Robert Power, ' 38. A noteworthy feature of this year ' s Heights was the presence of several special columns. Editor Power con- tinued the Tabloid column and made it more interesting than ever. For the first time, the social life of the stu- dents was properly reviewed in the column Society, by Bud St. Pierre. Bud conducted his column with a deft of one who from long experience can appreciate the lighter side of college life. A special column devoted to Track, Cinder Dust, was handled by Frank Delear. His treatment was so able that many who were at first only slightly interested in Track came back to read his lines. Through the Eagle ' s Eye, was handled in a very satisfactory manner by Charlie larrobino. He used his space in the manner of the cleverest spe- cial sports commentators. Another new column was If I Do Say So, by George McDonough. George worked out a very creditable column managing to combine a smartish style with a praiseworthy taste for the girl who models Dobb ' s Hats. The most important changes came because of the influence of Mr. Mc- Gill. After graduating from Boston College the present Co-Moderator of The Heights has been on the staff of the New York Times and Herald- Tribune as well as being an editor of a Bridgeport, Conn., paper. Under his direction, The Heights was changed in format and came out without its old Gothic head. He reformed it practically to tabloid size and in- serted a number of pictures in each issue. The result was a much better looking and a more readable paper. One of the most interesting inno- vations was the Prominent Student box in which each week were seen the pictures and biographies of two prominent Seniors. The whole spirit of enterprise and achievement which characterized this year ' s Heights was typified by the large special edition for the Cross game. An edition which was topped by the inclusion of prophecies on the outcome of the game from some of the foremost sports writers in the country. 191 class history With the influx to the Heights of four hundred and sixty-four high school graduates, the Class of 1936 began four years of scholastic, social and athletic function, in September, 1932. Freshmen were introduced to their Dean, Father R. M. Sullivan, S.J., saw their older brothers dedicata B.C. ' s new stadium by crushing Loyola, elected the following officers: President Maguire, Vice-president Hogan, Secretary Mahoney, Treasurei Killion, A. A. Representative Maho- ney. After Freshman cohorts had walloped young Crusaders 13-6, some four hundred Heightsmen strutted through the Gothic Halls. Braver first year men traveled to Worcester, witnessed a torrid game in Holy Cross ' Stadium. After finishing Provincial mid-year examinations, they were surprised to see Father Friary, S.J., sitting in the Freshman Dean ' s office. Freshmen, ordinarily not inquisitive, soon discovered that Father Sullivan had gone to Jamaica to deal with P ' reshmen down there. On May 1, 1933, Chairman Mclnerny conducted the Prom at the Somerset, enticed so many classmates there that the customary deficit did not result. Just before leaving the Heights for the Summer, Freshmen re-elected all their officers to serve them again in Sophomore. With the customary Schola Brevis, the boys began the tedious second year. They did manage to enjoy a trip to Gotham, to cheer their class- mates against Fordham, and another trip to Alumni Field, to cheer these same stars as they smashed the Crusader. In Marquette, debaters chose Riley president for the year; he was abetted by Beauregard and Fitzmaurice. President Riley dupli- cated Classmate Dalton ' s feat of the previous year, won the Gargan Medal. Thomas O ' Brien managed the Prom at the Statler, saw to it that every Sophomore enjoyed himself immensely. Before the Prom ' s music had faded. Sophomore stars joined the ball club, set a terrific pace for aging upper classmen. Elections gave offices to Maguire, Brennan, Killion and Tom Mahoney. Examinations had such an effect on Sophomores they were given a three months ' vaca- tion to recuperate. As Juniors they found that Presi- dent Maguire had gone across Com- monwealth Avenue to the Seminary, that another election was imperative. With solemn dignity Mclnerny, Ready, Tom Mahoney, Jocko Killion and George Mahoney were appointed to serve the class. Philosophically they watched a football season pass, transferred their attention to the hockey team, spent a magnificent week socializing at famous hotels, returned to conquer physical and metaphysical examinations. The tranquil passage of the year was marred by the untimely death of the beloved Dean, Father McHugh, S.J., who was succeeded by Father Friary. Juniors dominated the ball club, turned in many a victory for old B. C. Juniors dominated the Fulton. Beauregard was the first Junior in many years to win the Fulton Medal. With an audible sigh of relief, the Juniors voted in their last election; F. Roche, Cahill, Tom Mahoney, Shaughnessy and larrobino rose tri- umphantly from the pile of ballots. After devastating Orals, Juniors sighed once more, hastened from the Heights for a summer of utter mental relaxation. As Seniors they returned to the Heights to find Father Maxwell, S.J., in the Dean ' s office, succeeding Father Friary. They went over to New York with the football team, returned to see what New York couldn ' t offer — the sight of Joe O ' Brien ' s lads de- feating a powerful opponent, at the Michigan State game. The Holy Cross contest, after Thanksgiving, made many Seniors claim that the holiday was a misnomer. Presidents Riley and Beauregard shared the lead- ership of the Fultonians, won world wide acclaim for their victory over Cambridge, graciously allowed Har- vard to defeat Fulton for the first time. Sid Dunn managed a splendif- erous Philomatheia Ball just before Mid-years. Seniors studied, watched Fred Moore ' s Pucksters, Tim Ready ' s Ball hawks, anticipated twenty min- utes of anguish at the Senior Orals. When they are over, two hundred and fifty bright college men will accept degrees, depart from the Towers on the Heights. Standing: J. A. Burke, Flaherty, C. Ryan, Gordon. Sitting: G. Mahoney, Pres.

To sate the curi- osity of Heights lads, Autocrat King finally consented to give a super- ficial glimpse of Boulay ' s vast mechanism. The superficial glimpse filled 406 typewritten sheets, natu- rally had to be condensed for the Sub Turri. Boulay was founded in 428, B.C., by Democrinus, ruled Athens for two centuries. Translated the name means Senate, and it was the Bou- lay which served as a model for all great Parliaments, Congresses, Diets of History. Boulayism degenerated to insignificance, rose to great power in the first millenium. The Sixteenth Century saw it again sink to uncon- sciousness, rise to great Heights in 1934. Notable Boulites: Boulexan- der the Great, Boulius Caesar, Rev- erend Pinard de la Boullaye, S.J., Nabouleon Bonaparte, all former Autocrats. In Sophomore A. 1934, members heard of Boulay, overthrew its venal rulers, set up a potent gov- ernment, established great Boulay ac- tivities once more. Boulay is an autocracy, ruled by Dr. Joseph King, Czar and Autocrat of all the Boulays. His Council : Chancellor of the Exchequer Joseph Killion, Chancellor of the Secretariat John Geary, President of the Council Paul Leonard, Vice-president Paul Campbell, Senior Councillor Danno Shea, Junior Councillor Zeebok Hennessy. Other officials: Hank Keane, Keeper of the Seal, B-Man of the Boulay Dan Boudreau, Aesthetic Director Rusticannus Hart, General of the Boulay Bengal Lancers Joseph Leonard, Head of Boulay Air Force Lt. larrobino, Director of Arctic Re- search Major Ferriter, Bar Examiner Dirrane, Governor of the Boulay Re- serve Board Beauregard, Ambassador to Franche-Comte Jafsie de Riordan, Boule Burgomeister Ryan, Boulasti- cus Episcopus Clougherty. Because a complete list of all offices fills eight pages only a few are given. Boulay members are divided into three classes: (a) De Facto, mem- bers of the Highest Nobility; Ex Officio, members with at least six quarters of noble blood, ineligible for high offices; De Jure, Proleta- rians, who work for the former two classes. Prominent members and office holders, not mentioned above: De Facto, Tonio d ' Amore, Pat di Masi, Blowtorch O ' Brien, Gale De- vine, Red A ' Hearn, Josef Dacey; Ex Officio, Dr. Pat Raftery, Buck Maho- ney, Raybo Hogan, Hopper Fahey, Al Powers, Jim Conners, Le Cid Dunn, Buz Lawton, Tom Walsh; De Jure, unknown to 99 of B. C. boys, they are the De Jure members.

As the historian, Hilaire Bouloc says, . . . the Scholastics stole 1150 of their 1200 theses from the Boulastics; the other fifty are so stupid that even Schopenhauer laughed at their absurd, illogical conclusions. . . . MODEL THESIS: (Boulastic Cos- mology, XXI, 773, by Boulastotle. Translated from the Greek by Dr. J. Henry Killion, Professor of Greek at Boulay University.) Physical bodies are constituted neither of unextended particles, as the dynamists claim, nor of matter alone, as the materialists claim, nor of primal matter and substantial form, as the Scholastics claim, but physical bodies are composed of primal matter and substantial form plus stickum, which holds the two together, as the Boulastic claim. PROOF — Physical bodies are not composed of matter alone. EVI- DENT. Physical bodies are not composed of points of power, unextended par- ticles. EVIDENT. Physical bodies are not composed of primal matter and substantial form, for if they were, absurdities would follow. The Primal mat ter of Boston College (Granite, wood, etc.) and the substantial form (Gothic Architecture) wouldn ' t stick to- The Curtiss Candy Company OTTO SCHNERING PRESIDENT CHICAGO MANUFACTURERS OF Baby Ruth — Butterfinger — Buy Jiminy — Moonspoon Coconut Grove — Butter Toffee — Chocolate Mallows Nut Butter Pillows — Chocolate Caramels Baby Ruth Fruit Drops — Baby Ruth Mints Pure BeUcious Inexpensive Biggest Value for 5c gether, and the two would separate. The former would collapse into a heap of dust, the latter would float up into the air. Hence: Physical bodies are com- posed of primal matter and sub- stantial form plus stickum, which holds the two together, as the Bou- lastics claim. (Boulastic Ethics, LX, 1902, by Duns Scotus. Translated from the Latin by Dr. J. Edward King, Pro- fessor of Latin, Boulay University.) The end justifies the means. Either the end does justify any means, or it justifies none (the dis- junction is complete), also (Eadem ratio valet pro omnibus). But a good means is justified by a good end. Evident. Hence, any means, good or bad, is justified by the end. Based on this marvelous common sense philosophy, Boulites have gone on and reached such success that they plan to donate a new building to Boston College, for the instruction of this philosophy. It is interesting to note that all Boulay meetings are conducted in Latin, and many Boulites have great difiSculty speaking good English. Autocrat King, alert as ever, sensed a crisis, called Prof. Bene- dict Flynn from Sherborn ' s smart debutante academy, ordered him to teach his subjects the rudiments of English. Result: Benedict forgot his English, had to take up music for a living. Every year Boulites gather from near and far, for their Annual Cau- cus, renew their Pledge to the Boulay. The Boulay is composed mainly of lads from Sophomore A, 1933- 1934. It is the greatest source of pleasure for these fellows to get to- gether as often as possible and spin yarns about various incidents that occurred in Father Thomas J. Quinn ' s class. All agree, and it can be checked from their biographies, that Father Quinn ' s class was the best they ever experienced. It made Boston Col- lege more than a mere collection The Athletic Association ivelcomes this opportunity to express to the Class of 1936 its sincere apprecia- tion of the loyalty and sup- port of the members of the class. John P. Curley, ' 13 Graduate Manager of academic courses, it made it some- thing to remember for a lifetime. Sophomore is ordinarily the hardest year at college, but Boulites laughed their way through, received high marks, extraordinary wisdom and a wealth of worth while instruction. For this, in a solemn council, Bou- lites elected Father Thomas J. Quinn, S.J., as their President, DE FACTO, Causa Honoris, for life. knights of the test tube Grand Molecule . . Joseph J.

Chaplain track (Continued from page 163 season by running the second leg for the mile team at the Boston K. of C. games. A week later, at the Mill- rose meet in New York, he ran a courageous anchor leg, holding off several challenges of an opponent to give B. C. a victory over Michigan Normal and Dartmouth. After an- choring the mile outfit in the B. A. A. meet, he began running half-miles, a distance he had never previously at- tempted, and was successful in land- ing a position on the two-mile team which placed second in the I. C. 4A meet. In the dual meet with Maine, with only a Week ' s practice in the low hurdles, he won the event, beat- ing Gowell, who is one of the best low hurdlers in New England. Dur- ing the coming outdoor season, Jim will compete in his favorite, the 220 yard low hurdles, and also the broad- jump. John Downey first made a name for himself when he was sixteen years old by finishing second in a ten mile road race after a great display of courage over the last few miles. During his freshman year at the Heights he showed great improve- ment, but was no world-beater. He ran the 1,000 on the boards and placed second in this event in a meet with Tech, and third in the St. John ' s winter meet. Outdoors he was a fair miler, tying for first with team- mate Frank Delear in the dual meets with the Tech Frosh and St. John ' s Prep. He shifted to the two-mile run in the G. B. I. ' s but did not meet with much success. Downey ' s improvement continued during his sophomore year. He was the leading cross-country man at B. C, finishing tenth in the Harvard open run, and was the first Eagle runner over the line in the West Point dual meet. Indoors he made a strong bid for a position on the two-mile relay team and was beaten out by only a fraction of a second. On the cinders he demonstrated his potential power by defeating Ben Hines in the Interclass meet mile in the good time of 4:35. However, a strained foot muscle sustained in this race put Downey out for the greater part of the season and he barely recovered in time to place third in the Holy Cross meet mile and thus earn his letter. In the Fall Interclass meet during his junior year Downey served notice of his real ability by placing second to Ben Hines in a 1:58 half mile. Downey was clocked in 1 :59, an ex- cellent early season performance. During the indoor season he not only earned a position on the two-mile relay team, (a position which he has never relinquished), but also set two records for the B. C. board track : two minutes flat for the half-mile, and 3:15 for three-quarters of a mile. The former mark still stands, but both Don McKee and Downey him- self have bettered the latter figure. During the many relay races through- out the course of the indoor season he was very consistent, never being slower than a fraction of a second over two minutes, and finally won his letter and stripe when the two-mile outfit landed second in the I. C. ' s. The outdoor season jinx which has pursued Downey for three years, again cropped up, this time in the form of an attack of measles just before the first meet. Although he made every effort to run he never fully regained his strength before the season was completed. During the Fall of his senior year, Downey, with little long distance training, set the pace for over three miles in the Harvard open cross- country run, finally finishing in a fourth place tie with Frank Delear. Indoors he continued his spectacu- lar pace of the previous year, run- ning in every race in which the two- mile team was entered, and consis- tently breaking two minutes for his half-mile on every occasion. He con- cluded his relay career by anchoring the team when it finished second in (Continued on page 205) track (Continued from page 203) the I. C. ' s. He ran his 800 meters in a shade over 1 :57. In the Maine meet he won the mile in 4:31, easily beating Bill Hunnewell, New England Intercollegiate cross-country cham- pion. Downey is undecided whether to run the half, mile, or two-mile on the cinders, but whatever he selects he is ready to wind up his college career in a blaze of glory. Frank Delear is the fifth senior who has been a standout during his four years at the college. As a fresh- man he did his best running outdoors, placing second in the G. B. I. fresh- man mile, and tying for first in the mile run with John Downey in the Tech Freshman and St. John ' s dual meets. As a sophomore he won the two mile run in the Fall Interclass meet and also ran cross-country, fin- ishing 17th in the Harvard open meet and being the second B. C. runner to finish in the West Point race. After being unable to run during the in- door season because of a strained side he quickly got into condition in the Spring and easily won the Inter- class meet two-mile in 10 :10. A week later, at West Point, he ran the best race of his career, winning the two- mile run in the fast time of 9:57, after a thrilling battle with Cadet Bryer. In the G. B. I. meet he fin- ished fifth although he again broke ten minutes for two miles. In the Bowdoin meet he was third, while he earned his letter by placing sec- ond in the Holy Cross two-mile. During the indoor season of his junior year, Delear placed second in a handicap two-mile at the Boston Y , and landed the same position in the 3000 meter steeple-chase in the N. E. A. A. A. U. championships at Providence. In the dual meet with the University of Maine he placed second to Bill Hunnewell in the two- mile in the new meet record of 9:46. Outdoors he won the two-mile run in the dual meet with the University of New Hampshire, and, after a week of the measles, he managed to earn his letter by placing third in the Holy Cross meet. During the summer he won the Quincy City two mile cham- pionship. At the beginning of his senior year, Delear tied for fourth with John Downey, in a field of eighty starters in the Harvard open cross- country run. During the indoor sea- son he competed in the N. E. A. A. A. U. championships at Providence, placing a close second in the 1500 meters run after setting the pace for most of the distance. One week later he easily won the two-mile run in the dual meet with Maine. A recent time trial for a mile and a half in the good time of 7:20 seems to point to a banner outdoor season for Delear over his favorite distance, the two- mile. Another senior who has scored points for the Eagles is Jack Burke, who has tried almost every event on the program. He achieved his great- est success running on mile team B while a junior, but he has also been a good steeple-chaser, placing third in the 3000 meter obstacle race in the N. E. A. A. A. U. championships the same year. At present he is pole vaulting and should win his letter in this event in the Holy Cross meet, this Spring.

So we wish to speak of those who although unnamed, con- tributed to the weekly work of the Fulton. The men, four each week, who discov ered, compiled and pre- sented interesting and useful facts and figures on current local and national questions, receive our thanks and honorable mention. Then there were the pleasant, and sometimes heated arguments we engaged in on Thurs- day afternoons, until the much dis- cussed constitution of the Fulton was suspended to preserve general peace. And the secretary ' s roll call on stormy days always sounded like the assembly report of the Lost Battalion ; while his report was always accepted in the manner of New Deal laws in early 1933. In second term the elec- tion of officers went off like a well oiled political machine — nomination, second, close and election. Since the other election was rather closely con- tested, the experience was very novel. The elections should be called the treasurer ' s aide, for they are the most certain means of assuring him that his accounts will be filled out to re- spectable figures. This year is also a noted one for it means that the names of the last five winners of the prize debate will be enrolled in the growing lists on the Fulton wall. Finally, since this is the root of the question, thanks and congratulations are due to the man who really is responsible for the success of this year ' s Fulton. To Mr. Leo O ' Keefe, S.J., go our thanks for his capable criticisms and aids to the speakers; for his efforts in making the inter- collegiate schedule a success; and for injecting real life into the Fulton. As echoes alone now stir in the Fulton room, we say sincerely that the power of the modern means of communication may be great, but the power of the capable speaker is greater — so we shall continue to be speakers while we may. Compliments of the BOSTON COLLEGE MUSIC CLUBS Compliments of Alumni AaHonation It is a pleasure to welcome into our ranks the men of 1936 golf (Continued from page 165) one of the best golf records for high school competition as well as state tournaments, he has been the spear- head of B. C. victories on the links ever since. At Watertown High, he captained the golf team through two undefeated seasons, besides gaining all-scholastic recognition in baseball during the same time of year. He also played football and basketball at Watertown, but devoted all his time to golf since he came to the home of the Eagle. In the state tournaments, Paul was crowned caddy champion when only fourteen and advanced without any trouble to the quarter-final and semi- final rounds of the Junior champion- ship for four successive years. His latest achievement in state affairs, since he has not engaged in them for the last three years, was when he was a freshman. He teamed with Fred Moore, also a member of this year ' s team, in a four-ball open tournament at Woodland G. C. to win the affair, which had among its field such stars as Francis Ouimet, two times National Amateur and once National Open champion, and Seige Gun Jesse Guilford, also former National Amateur champion. Ed Furbush had quite a respite fol- lowing a strenuous football season before taking up his golf sticks this year, while Murphy and Moore shifted from hockey one week to golf the next. And with Ed Driscoll, the hard-running halfback from Woburn, as traveling manager, this Eagle team of four opened the season against Swarthmore the second week of April. The other teams played on this Southern junket, which lasted nearly two weeks this year and met with much success were: University of Virginia at Charlottesville, Virginia; Washington and Lee University at Lexington, Virginia; University of Delaware, at Newark, Delaware; Princeton University at Princeton, New Jersey; and Philadelphia Col- lege of Osteopathy at Philadelphia. Immediately upon return from this trip the team traveled to Hanover, N. H., where the Dartmouth team was opposed at the Hanover C. C. Following this match. Coach Cor- coran named the final makeup of the team as the result of a qualifying round played at the B. C. home course, for the more important games to come. Then came the contests with Harvard, which found its way back again on the Boston College golf schedule through the efforts of Corcoran after an absence of eight years, Browti, Worcester Polytech, Amherst, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Colby, Tufts, New York University at New York and last but not least, the arch rival, Holy Cross. Besides these individual matches, Corcoran entered a strong team in the New England Intercollegiate cham- pionship at the Oakley C. C, April and May, in an attempt to capture the team prize. Although this try was not realized, the Eagles showed up well individually considering the strong competition they were up against. And so, it appears the gentleman ' s game of golf has taken a great stride forward in the sports curriculum at Boston College.

Thesis work of the physics de- partment was attentively viewed, a portable mobile cruise of a group of members circling around Boston and Newton while talking over the ether to other students remaining at the radio room was a novel experience, a trip to the transmitter and studios of WCOP was a fitting climax of the application of theory to actual modern equipment of radio. During the Christmas Holidays, the members gathered at the home of Frank Hilbrunner in order that the social aspect of the club might not be neglected. Mr. Burns, S.J., Mr. Devlin, S.J., and Mr. Gager, M.S. were also among those present. Fr. Tobin was forced to keep a former engagement and his presence was indeed missed at this event. However before the close of the year, a similar entertainment is being planned, and no doubt will be attended in full numbers of both faculty moderators and members. At the present time the moderators are being consulted for the building of addi- tional equipment for the ultra high fre- quency band. Thus doing the club is maintaining a high standard in the realm of amateur radio stations. In keeping with the popular means of communication, mem- bers remain informed in theory and in practice of the labors of scientific research. Thus it is that the Radio Club at Boston College has had a fruitful year, an enjoy- able year. By the combination of instruc- tion and application monotony was avoided. By ambition interest was not found lacking, by loyalty meetings were not found un- attended, by true Boston College spirit no plan undertaken was unfulfilled. No impediments of future growth block the path of success, if all that has gone to make the Radio Club superior during the 1935-1936 term be continued in the years to come.
