JOSEPH R. N. MAXWELL, S.J. Dean of the College oj Arts and Sciences who, in the faithful fulfillment of his trust has won the esteem and gratitude of the men of Boston College The Reverend Joseph R. N. Maxwell, S.J. Dean of Boston College I tstorij of tl|0 CoU g i HE HISTORY of any noble triumph is at once a memorial of achieve- ment, and then a tale of failure. It is a record of the past in which ennoblements of a high order have been conceived, sometimes heroi- cally realized, but more frequently tragically frustrated. It is a huge panorama across which slowly move great men and greater deeds, and from which we derive new hope for future endeavor. Therefore history cannot con- tent itself with a summation of dates, wars, and rehabilitations; with Caesar and Constantine and the fall of their empire; it must also chronicle those activities from which spring the beauty, the joy, and the truth of life. These will be found only where consummate ideals are fostered and encouraged; these will live, grow, and produce still greater ones because they are perennial — more perennial than the everlasting hills — for they are a reflection of the Supreme Ideal. Thus the history of Boston College is not a mere register of dates; it is the story of an ideal. This ideal was not new, for its originator had died eight- een hundred years before, and though it had been tarnished by both friend and foe, it had lost none of its original brilliance. It was the ideal of truth. Here in Boston the phenomenal development of Boston College is syn- onymous Avith the persistently spreading influence of the Society of Jesus in its determination to oft ' er ample opportunity to all for Catholic Education. As early as 1847 the Reverend John McElroy, S. J., in accordance with the wishes of the Right Reverend John B. Fitzpatrick, the then bishop of Boston, assumed the rectorship of St. Mary ' s in the North End. Struck with the realization of the local need for Jesuit training, Father McElroy apparently derived the seed of the ambitious undertaking, of establishing a collegiate institution, from his own life which was a constant application of personal effort against pressing odds. He had entered the Society as a laybrother but by singular aptitude rose to the high office of the priesthood. For the next few years the existence of Boston College rose, fell, and rose again intermittently as one obstacle after another opposed its way. The Hancock schoolhouse was purchased but financial inadequacy as well as the scarcity of Jesuit professors doomed this attempt; the city of Boston sold the Otis School to Father McElroy yet here again, as previously, the lack of sufficient faculty inevitably resulted in delay; then followed the purchase of [10] TOWEK BiriLDING a section of real estate on Leverett Street which provoked such opposition from the civic minded neighbors when the purpose of the land was publicized, that the estate was turned back to the city. However in 1857 the Honorable Alexander H.Rice, Mayor of Boston, exerted his influential assistance for the Jesuit Fathers when in August of the same year the present site of Boston College High School was acqviired for the erection of a church and school, a concrete expression of unflinching constancy. With the completion of the buildings some three years later the Church was formally opened while the structiu-e intended for a college was vised to overcome any further frustration of progress by a lack of professors. The school opened as a house of studies for young Jesuits, later to become mem- bers of the collegiate faculty. At this time the surge of religious intolerance aroused the ire of many Boston residents when public scandals in school curricula were sustained by the legal interpretations of civil jurists. After Father Bernadin Wigit, S.J., had sought financial assistance and cooperation from the pulpit, Michael Norton with his adamant Irish perseverance resorted to those methods successfully employed by his native country against similar opposition by England when he grouped together seventeen students for private tutorship. The outbreak of the Civil War delayed for a time the final events in the founding of Boston College which were chro nicled at its cessation. In April of 1863, the State Legislature granted a charter to the college empowering her to confer all degrees, excepting those of the medical profession alone, a restriction later removed. Thus in the following year the Boston College of today ofiicially opened with an enrollment of twenty-two students. Meanwhile, advancing age, augmented by tireless activity forced Father McElroy to retire in favor of Reverend John Bapst, S. J., the new rector and Reverend Robert Fulton, S.J., the first dean of the College. The first graduating class in 1877 was composed of twelve students hold- ing Bachelor of Arts and one bearing the distinction of a Master of the Arts. Graduation with the sanction of a degree had been prevented due to the lack of philosophy professors which caused such an adjustment of the curricula that for a time only classes in rhetoric and the classics were held. Father Bapst was President until 1869 when he was succeeded by the Rev. W. Brady, S.J., who remained at the college only a year, leaving to assume a more important ofiice in the government of the Society of Jesus. [12] He was followed by the Reverend Robert Fulton, S.J. who, because of his literary attainments and forceful energy is considered by many, as the founder of the college. In the year 1888 the increased enrollment of students necessitated ex- pansion; at the cost of a quarter of a million dollars a new addition was built which doubled the classroom accommodation. The cares and worries of oflBce had taken their toll from Father Fulton and one year later, he was forced to withdraw. He had been the most distinguished president of the college thus far; and his memory is immortalized to this day in one of the most popidar and successful extra-ciu-ricular student activities, the Fulton Debating Society. Father Fulton was succeeded by the Reverend Edward I. Devitt, S.J., who was appointed to complete the work begun by his predecessor in office. In 1894 he was succeeded by the Reverend Timothy Brosnahan, S.J., famed for his refined refutation of Charles W. Eliot ' s theory of electivism directlj attacking scholastic education in general and Boston College in particular. Expansion was again imperative. The addition of another year in philos- ophy made by the Reverend W. Read Mvillen, S.J., sviccessor to Father Brosnahan, increased the necessity of separating the high school from the college. To Father Gasson, S.J., who may justly be considered the second founder of Boston College, special tribute must be given for his vision of con- ceiving the present college. The first step in the realization of his wish was taken on December, 1897 when the trustees of the college acquired the present site of University Heights. To erect buildings that would harmonize with the natiu-al beauty of the site Father Gasson announced competitive bidding for plans of the buildings, which was entered into by a dozen of the most prominent architectural firms of the East. The board of judges awarded the contract to the firm of Maginnis and Walsh who strictly adhered to the English Collegiate Gothic design. The first sod was turned by Father Gasson on June 1909 and on March the twenty- eighth 1913 the new college was formally opened by the Rector in the pres- ence of Mayor Hubbard and other dignitaries. Following a policy of rotation in office Father Gasson was succeeded by Rev. Charles W. Lyons. Under his direction Saint Mary ' s Hall, the resi- dence for Jesuit members of the faculty was constructed. With the help of Father Matthew L. Fortier, S.J., a faculty member , Father Lyons under- [14] _il J_£ St. Mary ' s Hall took the establishment of an Extension school which soon numbered students in the hundreds. The Rev. William Devlin, S.J., who had been a member of the faculty for many years succeeded Father Lyons. He began his office by conducting a drive to obtain two million dollars to construct more buildings, in order that the college might enroll the hundreds of students seeking admission. With the aid of His Eminence, William Cardinal O ' Connell, Archbishop of Boston, the college ' s most distinguished alumnus, and with the aid of the clergy of the archdiocese together with hundreds of citizens, a sum sufficient to construct the Science Building was procurred. The Science building was formally opened in September, 1924. On May fifth, of the same year, Father Devlin began work on a Library building but lack of funds caused postponement of construction. The Rev. James A. Dolan, S.J., an alumnus, was the next President; he determined to carry out the plans for the erection of the Library Building. The completion of the Library, the most beautiful of the college buildings, with its graceful towers is a lasting token of Father Dolan ' s zeal and ardor. But he did not rest here; under his inspiration a new school of Law was opened on Septem- ber twenty-six, 1926, in the Lawyers Building at Eleven Beacon Street, Boston. Three years after its establishment the School was rated as an Approved Law School by the Council of Legal Education of the American Bar Association; at present it boasts a record unexcelled among the law schools of the nation. Not content with these scholastic augmentations, Father Dolan opened a Jvmior College at the down-town center, to extend the opportunity for Jesuit education to many who could not attend the day sessions at the Heights. It was under the leadership of Father Dolan that the college developed outwardly and inwardly as never before in a similar span of years. Father Dolan was succeeded by the Rev. Louis J. Gallagher, S.J., who had previously been Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at George- town LTniversity. It was a period of world depression which found its reflec- tion in collegiate circles and elsewhere. But such conditions did not weaken Father Gallagher ' s characteristic energy and faith in the future of the college. Under his direction a stadium was built, and the athletic field developed. At this time, the college obtained another piece of property, the former resi- dence of Dr. Moore on Commonwealth Ave. below the Philomatheia Club- house. But the most important development made by the college luider the presidency of Father Gallagher was the opening of a New School of Social Work in September, 1936. It was conceived to meet the increasing need for [16] Science Building Catholic thought and dogma in the comparatively new field of social work. Soon after its opening, the college through the generosity of the Senior and Junior Philomatheia Clubs to Avhich the college will ever be indebted, ac- quired the old Stimpson Estate on Chestnut Hill for use as an Anthropolog- ical Museum and similar studies. Father Gallagher was succeeded by our President, the Rev. William J. McGarry, S.J., who came to Boston College from Weston College, the House of Studies for members of the Society of Jesus. There he had been Professor of Sacred Scripture and Theology. Under his guidance, studies have been extended and intensified; the library was enriched by a considerable increase in the numbers of books and source material. His keen realization of the spiritual needs of the students prompted him to originate a Jesuit father as a full time spiritual director, whose office is open for consultation at any time. Realizing also that many Catholic students who were interested in business studies were being deprived of a Catholic education because no such courses were being offered at the College, Father McGarry opened a school of Busi- ness Administration in Boston, where, in addition to professional studies, courses in cultural subjects are also offered. This school is really unique in the field of business education in that a full program of philosophy is required for graduation. :is] MsGR.

Weighed down with books including that portable library m one volume, the Snyder and Martin , we began our year m real freshman style with a further purchase of a bow tie, a battered hat and turned up white shoes, after the fashion of Joe College . Recovering from the surprising shock of being addressed as Mister, we bought up the razor blade market and proceeded to weather the rigors ot the new A.B. Honors Course, mind you, with Greek. . tt- i c i i Father Archdeacon, S.J., had just dropped in from Regis High School, New York and to him was entrusted the fate of so gallant and so promising a band of almost 500. Early in the fall, the greatest freshman day program in the historv of Boston College or of any college was begun. An undeteated football team met Holy Cross frosh and was deadlocked to a 6 to 6 tie. Un the same evening Cambridge officials were startled by an advancing horde of iubilant B.C. frosh, who were crossing the boundaries m perfect attend- ance to a dinner at the Hotel Commander. With the announcement of our new commanding officers and with speeches of encouragement and new hope, a perfect day was concluded. [26] On Friday, December 20, 1935, the new class began to make history by sponsoring the first under the Tower social with music furnished by the Burke Brothers ' Grey Towers orchestra. Parallel to this was the inception of intra-mural football and baseball — an innovation for the indulgence of practically anyone who cared to defend the escutcheon of the class. Even surpassing the usual financial worries of college life, the dread mid- years arrived in January and effected many strange phenom.ena. Cofl ' ee sales rose to new heights. S.R.O. signs hung outside the library and chapel; and beards were allowed to flourish until they approximated the braiding stage. As a soothing aftermath to this intellectual baptism, a sports night and smoker was held in the Senior Assembly Hall. Movies, speakers, reporters and numerous other attractions helped to leave a lasting impression on the eager audience. When that seemingly endless stretch from Christmas to Easter had been covered with the addition of a few gray hairs, we began a series of eventful expansion. In April, our Communion breakfast was held off the campus for the first time in the College ' s history — at the Hotel Continental, Cam- bridge. On May 8th at the Louis XIV ballroom at the Hotel Somerset, the class rallied to the contest in terpischorean art which very nearly rivaled the light fantastic as portrayed two years later by the mad chorines in Father Bonn ' s version of Antigone. With monetary hesitation for the inbibation of the atmosphere so gladly expended at the dance, the class inaugurated a Mother ' s Day program for the maternal inspection of the buildings, which were lodging the external expression of their every hope. With the passage of time we progressed in collegiate wisdom; soon we observed the futility of many things in life, such as the impossibility of the end justifying the means, the termination of the Billy Frazier-Jonesy feud, a house date with an Emmanuel girl, prompt service in the librarj etc. opi)omore With only a happy memory of the previous year, the men rallied to the call of education in September to find that newer and more difficult con- quests were j et to be made. The same four leaders were supported for re- election and with a nearly perfect reunion, the famed class of ' 39 began its second scholastic year. Smiling faces were saddened suddenly when Father Leo J. Gilleran, S.J., died. His smile often replaced darkness with the brightest light, even for those with whom he was not formally acquainted. He left an empty place in our midst and an indestructible character in our memories and our hearts. Early fall brought forth loud cheers both for a successfid football team and the visit of Cardinal Pacelli, who became an Ail-American in the eyes of loyal rooters by declaring a two-day holiday. This reason terminated with the annual banquet held at the Continental where Fathers Gallagher, Max- well, Judge Swift and Brother Gilbert contended in offering congratulations for past deeds and advice for future needs. When the faU had passed slowly into winter and quizzes had passed into mid-year examinations, sober faces sought textbooks as the only defense against intellectual casualty. However they proved to be a Winchell set of exams — over in a flash — and thoughts were turned to our second Under- the-Tower dance. Lou Sacco kept the time and the class kept the receipts. On May 7, 1937, the Staffer was surrounded by a multitude of city guards, and questions from the curious who had gathered there brought this reply, Don ' t you know? B.C. Sophs are promenading to Hudson-Delange ' s music to-night! What a crowd and what a dance! With the eager anticipation of a healthy summer ' s tan and the scrupu- lous scanning of the help-wanted ads, we wrote farewell to the classics and arrived at the half-way mark of our college career. Sunior The shrill clarion call of philosophy welcomed us back. With one eye on the social calendar and the other on logic, we endeavored to retain a socia- bility of notes whilst grimly preparing for the onslaught of Kant and his cohorts. In October the bells of the Tower called us forth to dance under so inspiring a structure to the Hallowe ' en tunes of Don Fabien ' s orchestra. The same month revealed the brethren ' s heads buried deep in minor logic bluebooks, with the strains of Maryland, My Maryland beckoning them to the south. Immediately following this trip, a travel worn honors sec- tion adjourned to the committee room of the library to render an oral encore in the form of a minor logic specimen. Diamond Jubilee W eek celebrated the founding of our alma mater, featured by many festivities and crowned by the Dramatic Society ' s produc- tion, The Music Makers, an achievement of untold labor and never-to-be- forgotten fame. Following this presentation came the lightly tripping Greek chorines who were destined for fame admixed with notoriety in direct con- trast to the original tripsters of Antigone ' s days. Well fortified by Mass and Communion on Sunday, the lads blew the lid off for a week of unforeseen joys; Monday saw the Assembly Hall clouded with smoke, cut only by the cheerful words from Bill Cunningham, Jimmy Foxx, Tom Thorpe and others; Tuesday rolled into view with a wealth of fun at the Kenmore gardens — as we skated (or slid) over the floor to the favorite swing tunes of the day. Although we were still only partially re- covered from such dazzling speed, splinters and bruises, Wednesday found us standing in the Blue Room wielding a demi-tasse of orange pekoe and a delightful teaser of cake. Still in the groove from this tea dance, the Tim- ilty School was graced that same evening by a series of one act plays followed by dancing. Thursday was set aside by tradition to prepare for the greatest prom in the history of the College. Our happiness was short-lived, however, for the gloom spreaders an- nounced the advent of that philosophical interview formally called the orals. [28] Postum and aspirins supplanted the lunchroom milk shake and a dentist ' s drill appeared mild compared to this extraction of knowledge. Vacation offered a cure for the many upside down stomachs following this intellectual forage which marked the third milestone in the history of ' 39. Senior With unrelenting gusto, Mother Natvn-e rushed in the Scholastic year amid howling gales, uprooted trees, and the campus strewn with every kind of foreign debris. Dispersing her whimpering breezes throughout the Tower Building, she succeeded in reducing the rotunda ' s former white way to such a state of abysmal darkness that guides were sought to open the trail to the various offices. The Heights and Stylus opened a verbal feud over the innovation of a pictorial cover on the latter in which our renowned feline Clipper figured in an extremely prominent role. The social season was set on a high plane when Lou Sacco encored the Class Song on the eve of the Holy Cross football game. Distinctive approba- tion of the toast relegated it to the already famous repertoire of B.C. songs. Then followed a bombardment of campus activities. The Cross and Crown Honor Society tapered off the remainder of ' 38, first with a concert and tea for maternal appreciation and then an informal strut amidst a mardi- gras of decorations and popular swing tunes by Johnny Hart. Under the guise of foreign ambassadors with their maroon-and-gold sashes, the Senior Class promenaded to the music of Ruby Newman at the Copley Plaza when the Philomatheia Club sponsored the Senior Ball. Every lovely debutante attempted an American version of the English Lambeth Walk amidst the elbow-rubbing of the socially elite. Father ' s Day embossed Patriot ' s Day with a little interest on an intellectual investment. Following a baseball game, Dad enjoyed a banquet and an evening ' s entertainment by the class members. Then as quickly as Mother Fame smiled on the goldfish swallowers with a bit of paper publicity so quickly did we find ourselves in Senior Week. Our retreat opened the festivities — our last as under-graduates. Class day, resurrected the jokesters for their speeches and quips of biographical remin- iscences, whence we sojourned to the Tower Building once more while the lads and lasses graced their pedestrian appendages to a bit of music. Enhanced by the conferring of an honorary degree upon Eamon de Valera, Commencement Day saw the reception of degrees and the cessation of all undergraduate activities. But now that the end has come and we look back over our deeds ; some- how our souls are wrapped around everything here at B.C., as we proudly sing Alma Mater. [29] JOSEPH J. ADAMS, JR., B.S. (Soc. Sc) 172 Chester St., Fitchburg, Mass. One fine fall day in September 1935, there was weeping and wailing in the wilds of Fitchburg as a favorite son departed for Boston. Since he arrived at this temple of learning, Joe has ful- filled his determination to do well in academic and recreational branches by obtaining fine marks and cultivating a wealth of friends through his genial and jovial personality. Arguments pro and con are the forte of his ex- istence. When there is work to be done, Joe is the embodiment of in- dustry. When play is at hand, you will find him a carefree merrymaker. He manages to fit into any situation.

(Honors) 72 Amsden Street, Arlington, Mass. Gus has always been somewhat of a puzzle because he never has much to say about himself. Although in class he appears indift ' erent and almost bored, outside of class Gus proves himself to be a convivial person. Whenever he is called on to give a paper in class, he livens it up with his quips and humorous asides. His ap- parent indifl ' erence is only a front which he puts on to hide the fact that he is considered somewhat of an oracle by most of the football squad. For the last four years he has held the uncon- tested office of class beadle. League of Sacred Heart 1, 2, 3, 4; Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4; Philosophy Seminar 4; Football 1, 2, 3, 4. ARTHUR C. ALLAN, B.S. (Ediic.) 131 Church St., Newport, R. I. If sitting on the bench while others covered themselves with glory be- cause they display broader shoulders or chunkier legs could not discourage Artie we cannot imagine what vi- cissitude of life will ever dampen his spirits. However with the football season ended Art joined the track team with the same earnestness where his weight, instead of a handicap, proved an asset to such an extent that he became one of our leading relay men. We will remember his modest smile and amazing ability to keep abreast of philosophy and the daily newspaper at the same time, long after athletic feats cease to be discussed. Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 1, 2, 3, 4. KENNETH ARMINIO, A.B. 10 Middlesex Ave., Natick, Mass. From Italy to Boston College we trace the courageous career of Ken. He entered the college with but little fluency in our language, yet he sur- mounted this distressing difficulty and proved his prowess as a linguist in English as well as in French, while at the same time teaching his native tongue at Natick High. And through it all he has never lost that sincerity and simplicity so essentially char- acteristic of the cosmopolitan student. His attendance-taking in religion classes marked him as the shrewdest beadle in Senior. When Ken graduates he will pursue the teaching profession in which he is now engaged.

Any Boston College man can tell you that Eddie never let a fly ball go over his head nor his diamond success to it. With all his pepper talk, he still wears the same size hat as he did when he broke into the line-up as a hard-hitting out-fielder in his Sophomore year. No one who has ever taken a baseball trip with him wants to take another one without him. His renditions of the lighter works of music such as Pat McCarthy, Hale and Hearty are ab- solutely unforgettable. Even the bus drivers were willing victims of his infectious humor. It would be no sur- prise to see Eddie touring the Keith circuit with his ever-present side-kick J. J. Baldi.

John will always be remembered for his bright and cheery disposition and his lyric voice. His tenor is well known about the campus and was often heard swinging popular songs in the lunchroom or beautifully render- ing sacred hymns at Chapel. Strictly an extrovert John ' s friends are legion. Academically he is one of the best but manages to find time to grace many extra-curricular activities with his smiling presence. He never wore a hat but his baa-baa coat made up for it. A glib talker, with a personality on the smoothie ' side, John made many a function tremendously successful by his high pressured sales talks.

RALPH F. BALDAVIN A.B. (Honors) 53 Cambridge St., Lawrence, Mass. Ralph is probably the most indus- trious chap in the senior class. Not content with the ordinary course of studies, he is pursuing two extra courses. Ralph is quite well known for his dancing ability both here at the college and in nearby districts. De- spite his constant studying, most of which is in English subjects, Ralph has time to collect bills for a considera- tion on Friday evenings. Last sum- mer he was a room clerk at a seashore hotel, where, as here, he made many friends. AVe are sure that Ralph will be at the desk when success checks in.

BANKS, A.B. 932 4th Street, South Boston, Mass. South Boston is my Home Town is Paul ' s theme song since he was born and raised there. His intense and enthusiastic interest in sports is a dominating trait in a well-rounded personality. Paul is a first-rate ball player, an excellent tennis player, and an earnest disciple of Jack Ryder at the track. His conversation is colored with well-chosen anecdotes drawn from a background of widely read classics, and with judgments carefully ruled by shrewd observations. Paul ' s ambition is to be either a teacher, an architect, or an engineer. AVhatever his final decision is we expect him to do well.

Charlie hails from that sunny south- ern district of Montello, and some of the atmosphere there must have affected his consistently happy mood. It isn ' t too hard to single out Charlie because his curly head stands out above that of most fellows. He is a pleasant conversationalist, and in his smooth voice that has a touch of the southern drawl, he will talk about anything, regardless whether it be baseball, football or the merits of Greek government. Even now he is planning to look into the question of habeas corpus ut sic. League of the Sacred Heart 1, i, 3, -t; Sodality 1, ' 2, 3, 4; Dean ' s List 2, 3; Latin Academy 1,2; Philosophy Seminar 4. JOSEPH W. BIGONESS, Jr., A.B. 246 Newbury Ave., Quincy, Mass. Known to some friends as Joe and yet to others as Bill, this James St. grad. was well known for his jovial manner when he reached the end of the Lake Street line. His outspoken opinions and delight in conversation have earned him a welcome at many a fruitful bull session. Love of music, understanding of poetrj ' and the novel, gifts in writing, and participa- tion in dramatic pursuits are high- lights which go to round out a person- ality of great depth. Moreover, close friends will testify to generosity of heart and a willingness to oblige. His aspirations have laid a firm founda- tion f or a sincere and model teacher.

(Chem.) 4 Bellevue Road, Natick, Mass. Undoubtedly one of the busiest fel- lows in the school, Andy has found time to achieve no ordinary success in both studies and athletics. Most of us would find it quite impossible to spend long and tedious hours in the labora- tory delving into chemical formulae, and then go out on the gridiron and personally illustrate the laws of falling bodies, but Andy has done just that. Not content with success in these two fields, he gained more honors in tennis both at the Heights and at Longwood, where he successfully com- peted in several tournaments. His election as captain of the tennis team was unanimo us. Football 1, 2, 3, -I; Chemistry Academy 3, 4; Sophomore Prom Committee; Tennis 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain 3. PAUL F. BRADLEY, A.B. 115 Webster St., West Newton, Mass. Hailing from Belmont, Paul has brought us not a few startling and revolutionary ideas in both the fields of political economy and philosophy. Any morning before class Paul and his brother Tom may be heard hotly dis- cussing prominent topics of the day. After spending his summers taking care of playgrounds, Paul returns to school every fall eager and ready to go. This, no doubt, accounts for his ability to get away to a good start in his studies every year. Beaver is noted for his neatness and strict attention to detail, especially in his majors, ac- counting and economics, a fact which bades well for his future in business.

Tom is that good looking senior who may be seen any day of the week wending his way through the corridors with a worried look on his face. How- ever, this is no indication of his per- petually happy and carefree frame of mind, as any one of his wide circle of friends will testify. Quite a baseball pitcher in his own right, Tom knows the record of every major league ball player for the last ten years. Of late, Tom ' s linguistic and forensic ability has come to the fore in many vigorous discussions of current topics down in the cafeteria, nor would he be out of place in the State House.

Al could not be called shy, but still his personality is hard to classify. He is quiet but friendly, a student yet socially prominent. Many a J man during Freshman and Sophomore will always remember Cedranca with a thankful prayer. The many little helps always being offered by him to his fellow classmates were conducive, not only to a better understanding of the matter, but were almost a neces- sity. A product of Boston Latin, Al maintained a standard of eminence in study and strived always to gain his ideals. We have found Al a cheery fellow, a man intense and sincere and a friend always.

(Honors) 43 Francis Ave., Cambridge, Mass. Frank excels as a conscientious scholar, an avid sports follower, and an appreciator of good humor. He gleans his greatest enjoyment from the national pastime and accordingly qualifies as a full fledged member of the hot-stove league. He would rather discuss batting averages than mitotic division. Though not given to verbosity, he will argue vehemently against all opposition in behalf of his favorites, the Red Sox. His genuine, hearty laugh, characterizing him as a critic of good jokes, suffices to dispel all gloom bearers. He frequently greets one with Did you hear Jack Benny last night? Joy within one- self and with the world means joy for others, aptly describes Frank.

BRENNAN, Jr., A.B. 30 Worthington St., Roxbury, Mass. One would be confronted with a most difficult task indeed to be so bold as to seek a more genuine friend or more likeable companion than Joe. His biggest joy in life is doing for others and then giving credit for his achieve- ments to someone else. When in the dim distant future we shall pause for a moment to indulge in reminiscences of college days, our fondest memories will be those of Joe; memories born of deep affection for one whom we love not only for his achievements, but for himself. No greater tribute could be paid to any man. League of Sacred Heart 1, 2, -3, 4; Pre- Medical Seminar 4; Track 1; Sodality 1.2.3,4. [37] EDWARD V. BROWN, B.S. (Educ.) 127 Maverick St., Chelsea, Mass. Here is Chelsea ' s diminutive repre- sentative with the ruddy complexion and a touch of an Irish brogue. Ed ' s chief aim when he entered was to con- tinue the string of victories he had chalked up as a pitcher for Chelsea High. Fate stepped in, however, in the person of a sore arm which forced him to forsake the diamond. It was not long, though, before Ed found another love, history, to which he devoted much earnest scholarship. His thorough preparation and delivery of treatises on historical subjects to- gether with his personal qualities and affability secured his election to the presidency of the Von Pastor Histori- cal Society.

Sc.) 95 Fulton St., Medford, Mass. The great Luigi prepped at St. Philips before coming to the Heights. Immediately upon his arrival here he took things in hand. As a member of the Italian Academy he was largely responsible for the marked success of the annual Academy dinners and plays. To the general student body he is known chiefly for the fact that he was Vice-President of the A. A. in his senior year and especially for the trip which he ran in conjunction with the Temple game at Philadelphia. His beaming countenance and generous abdominal proportions have helped to inject many a laugh into any gather- ing that needed to be put on its toes.

Here is a man who intrigues us deeply though we have only known him a short while. All year long he main- tained a discreet silence and it was only by accident that we learned that Dick has the reputation of being quite a Thesbian in his home town, having appeared in several productions in the past few years. Dick is a sports en- thusiast as well and is partial to base- ball and hockey, although the basket- ball court is his favorite stamping ground. The required course of studies is not enough for Dick for we have often discovered him delving into the musty tomes at the Philosophy Academy.

Endowed with a strong physique, a keen mind, a shrewd eye for horse- flesh, and an historic 1929 Ford, Larry has more than his share of natural and acquired gifts. There is little doubt that his extremely sharp sense of humor could easily carve him a suc- cessful career behind the footlights. Wherever he is, whether it be among the students of the Homeric question, at a pari-mutuel window or at any other of his other hundred and one jobs, he is always able to see the humorous side of things, and to enjoy himself thoroughly. Those who really know him realize that for all his good- natured, apparent unconcern, Larry is very sincere, hard-working, and am- bitious.

Crowned with an omnipresent whiffle and dressed in typical Joe College style. Bob was usually seen in the company of Obie , the other half of the Mutt and Jeff combination. Bob ' s specialty is French. This probably explains much of his savoir-faire. This quality, incidentally, extends into the equine realm and although Bob may have the intellectual qualifications, we assure you he ' s a rank amateur when it comes to pick- ing a winner. Bob has literally fol- lowed in his father ' s footsteps, for he is from one of the few traditional B.C. families of whom we may boast in our brief history.

Tom ' s neat appearance, the propriety and decorum which mark his actions classify him as a gentleman. Because he always does such a creditable job whether the assignment be prescribed or extra-curricular Tom is an A-1 student. He enjoys light opera and prefers semi-classical music to a jam session, likes good poetry and an oc- casional play; and yet finds time to dash off an occasional essay of his own. As a conversationalist he is in demand because he has an excellent vocabulary and a fine background ac- quired through profitable reading. Tom ' s ambition is to teach and with his ability and perseverance he will be successful. League of the Sacred Heart 1, :2, 3, 4; Mar- quette Debating Society 1 ; Fencing Team 1 ; Rifle Team 1, 2, 3. HAROLD B. BURR, B.S. (Chem.) 547 Washington St., Dorchester, Mass. Hardly diminutive, yet too small for football, Harry responded to the nod of Jack Ryder from the track where he asserted himself as a real athlete. In studies he assiduously applied himself throughout his college course, but found enough time withal to develop his hobby of chemistry research in that Academy, in which he showed himself a competent managing Editor of The Crystal. He was friendly with everyone at all times, even during exams, when most any good nature is lost in a beard and jittery nerves. Although Harry does not philander about, he was present at all the out- standing dances to balance a full college life.

Possessing no desire to burden himself with the cares of the world, Bucky leads a placid, easy-going existence until the day of exams. His account of the Junior oral will pass down from one generation to another. In his favorite field of sociology, however, his intelligent questions often astound our erudite Professor, Mr. Doyle. Ed is frequently seen with President Casey, Ne! Erickson, fellow Canta- brigians and Frank Connelly. A straight-faced story teller, guaranteed to convince even the least gullible, ' tis rumored he traded a portion of the Harvard Stadium to a Freshman for a student stub on the Indiana game. This genial Buxton lad seems to fit the role of both scientist and criminologist.

(Chem.) 32 St. Margaret St., Dorchester, Mass. Jim ' s range of activities are almost as wide as his lengthy name. He al- ternated from his position as clean-up man on the Jayvees to a front seat in the classroom where he also was something of a clean-up artist, espe- cially on the last day of each year in the Chemistry Laboratory. The near- est Jim came to fame was during the interim between the Detroit and Temple games when he played the part of Mike Lukac, Pop Warner ' s backfield ace, for the benefit of the varsity with such finesse that those who saw the game were of the opinion that the impersonator was better than the original.

A quiet, conscientious lad, Jim has the uncanny knack of always having the right answer for the Prof. With a love for the culture of the ancients he studies Latin and History with equal avidity. Sports are Jim ' s chief hobby and he will surprise one with his profound wisdom in all branches of this pastime. He is a fact finder, spouting historical dates, batting averages and scores, together with Latin quotations. Raised in a family of illustrious teachers Jim is bent on carrying on the tradition for the honor of the famille. His earnestness, integrity and good nature should help Jim go far in this field.

(Honors) 40 Orchard St., Jamaica Plain, Mass. With an outdoor complexion, a warm smile, and a brisk walk, Yin is usually found either busy with books in the reference library or contributing to the work at the beehive, otherwise known as the melting pot of all humor, the Sub Turri office. While maintaining a high scholastic standing we must not fail to mention achievements at Morgan ' s — Have some nice mild cheese? His talents as a premier danseuse were unearthed by Mrs. Van Dye, director of the Greek Chorus, who commented on his grace and ability to read lines despite dif- ficulty.

FRANCIS A. CAHILL, A.B. 164 River St., Mattapan, Mass. Frank ' s solace is music at its best with Beethoven and Brahms, from the strings of his ' cello which he plays so well and so frequently that he is hardly himself without it. With eager- ness for more than ordinary cultural development, he spent the summers engulfed in astronomy or architecture. At one time he amazed the Glee Club by being on time for a concert and staying for the entire performance. When the class bell sounded he could be seen dashing across the campus, reaching for his falling coat, or drop- ping a brief-case, with books in the other arm and his hat tipped on the back of his head.

CALLAHAN, A.B. 92 Whitfield St., Dorchester, Mass. Retiring and reserved as a freshman, Cal blossomed into quite a man about town and acquired the urbane veneer which he now displays about the campus. His taste leans toward opera and the classics, although interest in jam sessions and sports have served to round out his personality. Cal is a veritable walking lexicon and will give you the definition, etymology and derivation of the sesquipedalia at the drop of a hat. He is torn between teaching, writing, and politics. His spontaneous, acrid humor and fine sense of satire make him the centre of attraction at all soirees of gregarious conviviality. Along with his con- geniality, Cal has a serious side, which balance should make him equally as popular with his future associates.

This is but one of the many smart moves that Art has made, although we can truthfully say it was most likely his best. An- other was his decision to major in French, and because he has done so well he intends to further his studies abroad. Art always did look to the future. You could easily tell that if you heard him lament because Cov- entry Patmore ' s Philosophy on Mar- riage course was dropped. A joking conversationalist, an ardent supporter of class functions.

CAPLICE, A.B. 148 Vernon St., Rockland, Mass. Leo will be best remembered as a super conversationalist. To speak with him is a pleasant and constructive diversion, for the most abstruse theories are clarified by his practical mind. The melodic strains of Strauss or the mad wails of Shaw are discussed with the same fervor. Quick to defend his opinions he nevertheless exercises a warming tact that melts the sternest opposition. Leo possesses such inner equilibrium that only a momentous catastrophe could ruffle his placidity. As he leaves us, wc feel sure that he represents what he strove to be from Freshman, a real Boston College man.

Here is the lad who came to our doors so weighted down with titles that he had to be helped in by his pal Andy Bismark. Natick lost their senior class president, a three-letter man in sports, an All-Scholastic basketball player, and their only diamond war- rior who knew how to handle rival coaches who persist in heckling. B.

Merle is the soft spoken and suave diplomat of good-will from the town of Marlborough, with a deftness for neat, yet collegiate attire. He ever has an encouraging word for even the severest pessimist. Indeed his re- ward, as a dispenser of mirth was evinced by his appointment to the chairmanship of the Philomatheia Ball. The complications of doubled social appointments and early hour limits on some colleges, would faze even George Antheil, but not Merle. For diversion he frequents the Heights tennis courts or away from the even tenor of his consistent application to his classes we find him at every event which represents the college.

Dick is that tall, good-natured Senior who made so many friends during his first three years, by reason of his engaging personality, that he was elected our President in Senior. The forte of his popularity at the Heights is, that he can call every man in the Senior Class by his first name. Dick has been very active in all the extra- curricular activities of the class during his four years here, while at the same time maintaining a high scholastic standing. One could write at length of his accomplishments, but to put it briefly we are all proud to have him as President of our class.

PVank found his way to the Heights from Jamaica Plain with an allure for football, but soon found other less toilsome attractions. Throughout the four years Frank has been a reserved but conscientious student, attracted to the chatter of the lunchroom but with little flair for the social life, except where the class as a whole was represented. His suggestion for a practical solution to the transporta- tion problem is the installation of heated soliciting booths for the cold mornings when January first so severely depletes the number of registered cars traveling between the Heights and J.

St. James in Haverhill sent us a repre- sentative student in the person of Jack Cavan. A jitterbug in a suit of armor, a bit on the romantic side. Jack can set the pulses of the fairer sex beating with an unsteady pace. With a keen sharp eye for the beautiful he sought an outlet in poetry. This leaning followed him through his re- maining years at the Heights, and we can readily set him off as a true con- noisseur of verse. Johnny on the spot, he faithfully served as a stage hand during Jubilee Week and did remark- ably well as the villain of an original play written by his friend, Joe Tuscher.

If you doubt it, take a trip down to the Egyptian bowling alleys in Brighton some Friday night and see what he ' s got on the string. Joe isn ' t the kind to brag but take it from Bobby Kelly, he always hits his mark. Tall, dark, and athletic looking, Joe cuts a strik- ing figure on the dance floor, and is never a spare at a party.

Always alert and smiling, his masterpieces of acrobatic maneuvers on Saturday afternoons have been the recipients of many enthusiastic AH s and shouts of approbation. Herbie and his cohorts idealized their art when they appeared in Timon of Athens as entertainers to that famous mis- anthrope at the Majestic Theatre. As a student of education Herbie is al- ways prepared to refute the prag- matic school or any school that lowers man ' s dignity.

CHIAMPA, A.B. 24 Belmont St., Newton, Mass. Ben is best remembered for his talents in philosophic discussion in Junior year. Ordinarily quiet and unassum- ing, he comes out of his shell at the mention of a phantasm or a universal. Nor does he argue merely for the sake of argument; his reasoning is always well-ordered and well-substantiated by fact. He also stands out at social events. Suave, well-groomed, an ex- cellent dancer and an engaging con- versationalist, he has accrued a great deal of well-deserved popularity. There can be little room to doubt that a man with such a personality, am- bition, and energy will succeed.

It is difficult to determine whether Ernie was ever exposed to the Philoso- phy of Buddha, but the fact remains that he is a man of few words. Maybe it is this characteristic that places him in that fortunate group of Father Sidney Smith ' s survivors. Everyone thought that his worries were ended when he completed Junior accounting, but it seems that he has a further con- cern as an economist and couldn ' t stop fretting about the war debt. Reserved and complacent and with no aspirations to be the class Beau Brum- mell, he cared more for the books than for the social whirl.

Charlie is another luminary from Jamaica Plain. From year to year he stood out in his studies, in his social contacts and in his appearance. In any discussion concerning the trip to Philadelphia Charlie would instinc- tively wax ecstatic as his many friends marvel at such panegyric fluency. Favored with the ideal build for an athlete, with shoulders that would bring joy to the most conscientious of physical culturists, he exemplifies the truth of the Latin adage mens sana in corpore sano. Charlie is endowed with an innate tendency of never making known his social plans but of always appearing in the right place at the right time.

Possessed of a very keen mind he intrigues anyone who listens to him, with his knowledge of many and sundry topics. He has a winning manner which draws many friends to him while his earnestness and sincerity mark him as a man of achievement.

Ed will be remembered as an out- standing member of the Education section. Extremely firm in defense of what he thought the right, Roslin- dale ' s gift to pedagogy is the self- effacing, frank, and self-efficient gen- tleman who always had his back to the wall in the cut department. Per- haps he will write a thesis on student transportation problems. Socially speaking, it would be an understate- ment to say that Ed has been a suc- cess at college. He holds a prominent membership in that most social of social bodies, the ' coffin corner gang , who can be discovered at any time in- habiting the northwest corner of our fun-famed cafeteria. Added to this notable achievement is his member- ship in the exclusive Club which holds forth after history class. Sodality 1, 2. 3, -t; Sociolosy 3, 4. ROBERT J.

With the simplicity of a true Catonite, he found his way to the Heights via the auto route joshing and jollying the boys on the way in the manner of all well-rounded persons. Away from the books he found time to engage in the major-domo duties of class functions or to share in the pleasant diversions of the college dances. Classes held for him the fate of a front seat, but in history Bob found an outlet for intel- lectual pursuit and here he was at home.

Indeed Joe has other interests as well in French and Sociology. We like Joe particu- larly because we found him very easy to meet and well worth meeting — two qualities which are usually mu- tually exclusive. His disposition is very even, for April found him just as cheerful as he was in September.

Consequently he has occasion to make many acquaintances on that long ride from Lechmere to Lake St. He started in Freshman as an honor student and by the time he came to Junior he was showing the rest of us how to study Philosophy so as to get the best results. Jim has a penchant for the spectacular, especially in shirts — the louder the better. He is a staunch supporter of the French Academy and gives much time and effort to it.

A good student, Dave would stop studying each night at 10 o ' clock to tune in on the swing bands, his pet hobby. From his seat in the stands his fighting spirit has helped many a B.

As solid and sturdy as his physical makeup, his sincerity has won him the respect of numerous classmates. A thorough workman he can take time off for the more mundane things of life and his deep laughter was often heard reverberating through the corridors of the college. He has the uncanny ability of being a rugged hombre and a perfect gentleman all in the same breath.

He is an ardent supporter of class socials and a nnually his prom table is lightened by his quips.

Quiet and unassuming about the campus, John ' s feats on the gridiron have earned him the distinction of a real athlete, respected alike by his team-mates and opponents for his prowess and gentlemanly conduct. Though a lineman is often the forgot- ten man of a football squad John was termed a bulwark of B. C. defense. In class the initial letter of his name kept him well toward the front row, where only a stoical nonchalance, such as his, can consistently withstand the awakening queries of the prof., vic- timizing those close to his desk. John achieved honors from his books, yet he was a frequent visitor to the lunch- room discussions after football ceased to demand so much of his time.

There are those in each class who are noted for their zeal exhibited in sup- porting class functions. Art has been predominant at college gatherings dur- ing his four years here. Imbued with a seemingly endless source of vitality, we watched him performing all he un- dertook with inimitable enthusiasm. Art still remembers the sinking feeling before entering the dreaded orals, but he came forth triumphantly as he al- ways has. His ability to get things done has earned him a deserved re- spect and his ever-tapping feet and rich laugh shall not die in our minds ' corridor of memories.

Jim ' s humorous twists of quickly spoken witticisms have always found favor whether it happen to be in the lunchroom or the disturbing tension of a quiz class. With all the time studies demand he still spent many an hour trying to scoop the local news- hounds of the Maiden Clarion. Im- mune from the face-lining cares of even an haunting sheriff he appeared at most of the social functions in his tails and irrepressible cowlick. After his experiments in the physics lab. Jim took the advice of the instructor and for the advance of science hid him- self behind the j)ages of the Stylus while the science building was still in- tact.

Even the verdant hills about St. Anslems could not hold Frank and so he trekked his way to the Gothic splendor of Chestnut Hill. However, his stay in the hills filled him with a zest for the outdoors where he spent many an hour among the sharpshoot- ing huntsmen. Nor is his shooting confined to sports, for he usually hit his mark in class. He belongs to that class of work-your-way students, but his friends depict him well when they say that he knows how to mix sports with study, humor with seriousness. In short he is an ideal companion. Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4; League of the Sacred Heart 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 3. 4. GERARD T. COUGHLIN, A.B. 7 Manthorne Road, West Roxbury, Mass Gerry is the kind of a fellow to whom you could truthfully say, I ' m glad to have met you Gerry, not so much because he has promised to sell you a pair of shoes cheaper than you could get them downtown but because he im- pressed you as though he meant what lie said. As a member of the Junior Varsity he helped prepare his friend, Bill Flynn, for stardom. If perchance you happen to see Gerry carrying a couple of shoe boxes under his arm during a scrimmage, you needn ' t wonder, he was probably trying to put the bee on Gil Dobie.

From Everett comes Anthony, the ardent Arty Shaw supporter. For whenever Shaw ' s rhythm is heard Anthony ' s heels likewise can be heard. Although he is a Pre-Medical student the amoebae have never weighed him down. His face is never clouded with worry but is always adorned with that smile that has become traditional. Quiet and resourceful, he is never bombastic, but what he lacks in verbiage he equalizes with his en- thusiasm. His liveliness finds ample outlet on spring afternoons when he dashes about the freshman field, play- ing tag-football with the fellows, his friendly attitude is proverbial among his lab. friends, for he is always willing to help them.

Because he is a reserved and unassum- ino; fellow it would have been quite difficult to get Art to tell us about himself but this was not necessary for his actions and achievements speak louder than any tales he could tell. When he entered. Art was regarded as the best track prospect in years. As an English High Trackster he broke all records for the thousand yard event, a title which he still holds. In freshman year he achieved all that was expected of him, but since then Art has decided to forsake track in order to spend more time on his studies and chasing plates across the cafeteria counter.

Herbie is perhaps one of the finest linguists in the class, whether as a student of the ancients or the moderns. Serious and unmoved, yet a little in- different, he has impressed us as one who knows what he wants and is tenacious enough to secure it. This extreme objectivity has set him off from most of us, yet he has always been friendly and ever willing to help the class in all its activities. His mem- bership in the Italian Academy has proved invaluable and his efficient dis- cussion of Italian literature makes one almost doubt his nationality.

One of the most industrious lads around the campus, Ray has given his all to make the social functions of the class of 39 successful. Academically he holds all the trumps and since Junior year has evinced a decided interest in anything smacking of La Philosophy. No anchorite, Ray really does get around and no college function would be complete without the smiling personality of Master Coyne to glorify it. Good-natured, easy-going, capable and likeable, Ray is very popular. A scholar and a gentleman, he should enjoy great suc- cess in the world if his collegiate life is taken as a criterion.

Tenor-voiced Spike, the songbird of the class, is always welcome at any social function, whether it be an under the tower social or a prom. Dapper John has that appealing personality, touched with a smile, which makes for the real entertainer, at home before any mike. Away from his music he toiled behind the ticket cage of the A. A. office, warding off the barrage of pasteboard demands. Daily he paced about the track against Jack Ryder ' s time clock, training to sustain the fine record of the two milers, among whom he starred for his four years on the cinders.

CROWLY, A.B. 32 Lawrence Rd., Medford, Mass. Off to a good start with numerous awards for scholastic endeavors at B. C. High, Art has continued his ex- cellence at college. With his various talents working, he has, on many evenings, filled the local ballrooms with orchestral gyrations to earn that much needed extra change for the college exchequer. Unabashed by the thought of a quiz class or f nal exam. Art has the complacence of prepared- ness and the self-satisfaction of a job well done. Yet he is a welcomed dis- penser of lunchtime frivolity provoked by classroom antics. The teaching profession will never suffer from the assumption of Art into its fold.

John is a product of Woburn, that city of lion cages and extinguishable street lights. But as yet he has ex- hibited none of the radical tendencies of the environment to which he has been subjected. It has always seemed to us that John has kept much of his light under a bushel and could display many talents if put to the test. In our eyes John ' s stature is much higher than the ruler indicates, for such cheerfulness in the face of difficulty and ability to win friends and influence teachers isn ' t even hinted at by his size.

In his scholastic endeavors, Frank has always revealed a natural talent for never worrying about any- thing, but succeeding gloriously in every essay. Even in his absence, his voice will in the future disperse the proverbial and nebulous blues with a don ' t let it bother you, or I ' ll take care of it, or we ' ll fix it.

In the fall of ' 35, with many votive offerings and sacrifices, Boston College petitioned the fates to be grateful to her, and a kind Providence respond- ed and sent us Handsome Dick. To know Dick was to love him, to ad- mire and respect him as a gentleman of honor and of a fine and generous nature. His quiet devotion to duty and friends, his unselfiishness and complacent disposition stamped him as a standout among his fellow men. His chief claim to distinction rests on his indefatigable labors on the grid- iron and diamond, where he gained the whole-hearted respect of the whole school.

Ralph is a reasonable facsimile of the well-rounded man that Horace did so much lobbying about in the days be- fore the alphabet administration reared its head. Ralph didn ' t have all the corners taken off him at Boston College either, since most of his social life was spent at the Old Town Hall in Braintree although he never neglected the B.C. affairs. During the summer he was kept hopping at a Maine hotel. Though his future will prob- ably be spent in business, Ralph maintains that he cannot neglect his ballroom talents which have intrigued many a Braintree soiree.

Talk with Tim and you will find a man of brilliant, intellectual attainments, set opinions and studious habits. To some people, nature gives the ability to grasp a point quickly, to others her gift is the capability of deep and thoughtful study. Rarely are both of these found in any one individual, but Tim is an exception and verily doth he prove the rule. Throughout the four years in which we have known him, he has shown a subtle insight into all matters pertaining to studies, but this did not prevent him from attending all social functions in an unholy al- liance with Horsfall, Lyons, and Moore.

If patience and sincerity are destined for reward then Saul will one day hang up M.D. AVhile many of us are pursuing the externals of life Saul finds his pleasure in the secrets of the microscope or volt -metre, discovering the means by which his future patients will find succor. Doubtless the per- sistence and application so far demon- strated by Saul will find him in Medi- cal school this fall.

No one seems to know what he is doing, where he has been, or how he coins the elegant phrases he utters so glibly. His presence is felt the minute he steps into a group because he has that fiery personality that eats into a crowd. Dee, as he is known, re- fuses to look at the serious side of life, for in his own words, Youth is for lightheartedness, — seriousness for those past forty. As for his favorite study, Dee has always spoken of Junior Philosophy as that approach- ing the nearest to the ideal subject of intellectual thought.

To all who knew him, Louis was a student of unswerving good will, of un- conquerable good spirit. To those who did not know him intimately, he stood out as a staunch defender of Boston College and her ideals. Louis ' two most shining virtues are his ability to make and hold friends and to daily put into practice the philo- sophic principles which he so thor- oughly imbibed during his four years ' sojourn under the Gothic spires. Long will we remember him for his hearty personality and his imitations of various comedians. Never to be for- gotten are his innovations of The Fiat-Foot Floogie.

For four years at the college he has majored in accounting and economics, but not content with this, he has spent his summers in the employ of one of Boston ' s better business con- cerns. This would indicate a business venture in the ofBng. Ken tells us that he intends to further his educa- tion at Graduate School. A firm be- liever in extra-curricular activity, he never fails in his support of the athletic and social functions of the College.

For as speaker one of the sodality lecture teams, as debater for the Fulton and reporter for The Boston Herald and Traveler he has exercised to the utmost his numerous and varied talents. As a student his prowess is proved by a perusal of the Dean ' s List; and as a writer he has embellished the pages of the Stylus and the Heights. Though he wears glasses he never hides behind them ; every week George can be seen and heard in the cafeteria manfully displaying the technique of boxing.

As editor of the Sub Turei we con- gratulate Paul for the diligent efforts which are manifest in this book — he was a constant moving force and an inspiration to his staff. Despite the fact that he was allergic to Vin Cahalane ' s puns and believed that a blush was the complexion of virtue, Paul was an asset to any gathering. An impassioned portrayal of Anti- gone in the Greek Play won him the plaudits of critical exponents. More- over, his duties in the editorship brought to light an executive and busi- nesslike attitude in facing problems and handing out shrewd decisions.

Void of all fanfare, disdaining ostenta- tion, Jim has consistently asserted himself as a student, a gentleman, a personality. Even the labyrinthian ways of advanced accounting were mastered by the quiet lad from Dor- chester. Conservatively attired in true businesslike manner, he ever toted his briefcase about the campus with an Hello for everyone and offense for no one. The Glee Club concerts were his field of activity and here Jim ' s aspirations as a concert virtuoso entertained the varying audiences throughout the four years.

DONOVAN, A.B. 193 Norfolk St., Cambridge, Mass. In freshman and sophomore we heard much about the Horatian man. In junior and senior we saw coalesced in Gene many of the admirable quali- ties which were predicated of the Horatian man. As a student he was earnest, sincere and attentive, and was noticeably systematic in per- forming any difficult and detailed assignment. He was present at all school social activities and other jovial and convivial gatherings. And who will forget the many pleasant conversations had with him in the cafeteria? For music Gene preferred semi-classical airs, but he was not completely averse to modern swing. Because of the aforementioned, and many other fine attributes which he has but which we haven ' t mentioned, we expect Gene to go far.

Fred is one of South Boston ' s many contributions to B. C. With Tom McDavitt he forms the nucleus of a local uber alles club. He is a good example of an unassuming intellectual, who is an honor section student by choice other than his own. His ability simply directed his way. Practical jokes of a sensible nature, such as stealing or borrowing the other fel- low ' s lunch, are natural to Fred. Even when he is joshing, as is his want, Fred is as serious as during an oral. .-Ml in all, humor and seriousness sit side by side in his personality, while his attention to detail is reflected in neatness of attire.

From St. John ' s Prep, we received the pride of Peabody. A brilliant conversationalist and a very subtle debater, John soon made a rank for himself in the field of oratory. His keen enthusiasm for Catholic Action found a meritorious outlook in the Sodality, where he earned a berth on the speaking team. In the opinion of those few students who really have had an opportunity to evaluate his work, he has as much, or more, natural creative ability as any member of the class. It would be difficult to picture John in a career which did not recjuire marked originality, firmness of purpose, and steady, unwavering ambition.

AVith an attitude of conscientious persistence unencumbered with wide- spread notoriety, John has persued his four years at the Heights with Uttle care for the extended lunch periods in the smoke-filled atmosphere of the cafeteria, or for the social whirl of his college friends. John is a quiet lad both in attire and personality and try as he may he can ' t seem to get that lock of black hair to stay put when he combs it. The fact that a front row seat is his lot in alphabetical arrangement hasn ' t dismayed him for he has that touch of indifference sustained by preparedness which af- fects confidence before any prof.

Bill is one whose reserved, sociable nature has made him one of the best- liked fellows in the class. He is a real student with his best quality being that, to speak when he actually knows what he is speaking about. Bill has an inclination to be retiring but his easy smile and keen sense of humor make him a welcome addition to any group. It is not un- common to see him laughing quietly to himself about some bit of humor which has gone over the heads of most of us. Bill may never make a great salesman, but in a position that requires real ability, patience and enthusiasm he is sure to be a success.

DRAY, A.B. 85 Harvard Ave., Hyde Park, Mass. While at Hyde Park High School, Art made an enviable record for himself on the gridiron as the leading scorer in ' 34. At the Heights football held the same lure for him, even in Freshman, when he so often crossed the yard stripes in his goal- bound jaunts. Graced with an al- most contagious personality, expressed in a smile for everyone. Art enhances any group with which he comes in contact. He is a member of that collegiate never-miss-a-class club. Al- though apt to be judged as carefree he has frequently expressed well pon- dered opinions, and left to himself Art works hard even without the threat of impending exams.

Youthful looking John has the gift of tireless energy which he has devoted atlengthtothe various extra-curricular activities of the college. As a versa- tile character actor he has answered the curtain calls as a lead for most every production since Freshman. One of his more masterful renditions was his portrayal of Ismene in the Greek play, Antigone. Away from the stage this Dorchester cut-up has musical ability extraordinary, both as a pianist and as a composer of popular songs. Always friendly and afraid le st he give offense, John is an integral member of the social adventurers, and gets about to most of the soirees and socials, or promotes them himself.

But to most of us the most familiar and simplest to understand is the famous Dunigan Plan . When this brain child was introduced into the Marquette, it provoked a decided commotion. The Heights seized upon the plan immediately, due to its many supporters. Yet this is not Paul ' s only claim to fame. Although he is a Pre-Med. student and, hence, well burdened with work he has found time to enter the Playshop and become its president. Few of us realize that an artist dwells among us, but then again few of us sit near enough to Paul to see his drawings of Dopey and the rest.

To drop into the Stylus office is to find Joe usually in one of two moods; either airing some caustic comment on life (which he swears is not cynicism), or engaging in a verbal battle. Besides his studies he finds time to work behind the familiar grocery counter, and campaign a bit in the fall for his favorite candidate. Yet despite his various school and business activities he still keeps up his high scholastic standing. In fact his car probably causes him more trouble than his studies do.

Like I.,ief Erickson the noted explorer and possible ancestor, Nels takes great delight in exploring, whether it be Boston ' s night spots or the psych, book ' s twisting phrases. Unassuming and quiet, Erick believes that actions speak louder than words; his class- mates will attest to this fact as he annoyed them with his ability as a pitcher.

Fritz must have been the man in Frost ' s poem The Tuft of Flowers for he is a florist by advocation and in spirit. Fritz seems to be a duality of contra- diction ; he is at once quiet and subtle; then loquacious and candid. His puns have been the frequent cause of frowns and smiles, depending upon where you sit.

AVe might say that George is the only man who has gone through the college baseball ranks as an unde- feated pitcher. This is in itself the greatest tribute we can pay to him. He has always been the master of the situation out there on the mound. He is the shining light of Quincy that is growing brighter and brighter as each year comes. For three years he has been the secretary of his class and his sudden resonant chuckle often precedes a subtle remark or quip for the enjoyment of his listeners. The Granite City lad ' s hockey career was cut short by a knee injury but this gave him more time for the books and a bit of chatter in his own amiable way in the cafeteria.

It is rumored in collegiate circles that Joe acquired his military bearing from appearing in so many Grand Marches throughout his long social career. However true this may be, Joe has certainly led an active existence. When not vending orange pekoe for Kennedy and Co., or acting as an emissary from T. O. Metcalfe ' s, Joe has been busy organizing philosophy study groups and helping his brother Henry pour at their nightly Tea and Irish Bread functions. To speak of his personality, it is enough to say that he is the type employers will seek out, just as the entire class has here.

Under his guidance the Stylus reached the Thomas Crane library in the home town and even appeared on time at the Heights office. A man of letters, of profound economic lore, and of excellent sar- torial taste, the Deacon was an out- standing figure in any gathering at the college.

A lad of several hobbies is William Feeney. Vastly interested in all things that occurred during the years lO ' SO-aS, AVill asserts that swing of tiichiy is inferior to the jazz of the twenties. A chess player extra- ordinary, he relaxes from his studies by shuffling the kings, pawns, and bishops across the board. A keen student of architecture, he can talk intelligently on the structure of all famous edifices. In short Bill has many interests in life and derives great pleasure from them all. Quiet but confirmed in opinions. Will is a dis- tinct individual, pleasant, and well- mannered. League of the Sacred Heart 1, i, 3, 4; Sodality 2, .

C, Ed is known to everyone for his artistic achievements as stager of the many successes of the dramatic soci- ety. From the production of Yel- low Jack to the last presentation of his college career, Second Spring, the Ferrarone technique has been ever evident. He has given as much and probably more time than anyone else to Boston College activities, and all this despite the fact that he main- tained an honor standard for four difficult years in the Pre-Medical course. But with all that work, Ed was always Ed — smile, walk, and consistent obesity.

FINE, B.S. (Biol.) 51 Holyoke St., Maiden, Mass. He is one of those quiet, reserved fel- lows who is content to let others make all the noise. He prefers to remain slightly aloof, and watch with his easy-going smile the antics of others, from his vantage point at the back of the room. He might easily be called the most unobtrusive member of the class, but he is by no means a shrink- ing violet. Those who know him find him to be a pleasant companion, an interesting talker, and a willing friend. He hails from Maiden High, but unlike others from that school who have boosted B. C. through the me- dium of sports, he has set his mind upon a career as a medico. German Academy 2; Pre-Med. Seminar 4; Chemistry Academy 3; Smoker Commit- tee 3. ALBERT FIORE, A.B. 132 White St., Belmont, Mass. The smallest brook seems to rush, the largest river seems to lag. Thus na- ture endows the less mighty with a force lacking in its opposite. Al is endowed with an indomitable energy that just manages to spend the mini- mum time for nutritional consump- tion. Rapidly adhering to the laws of strict syllogistic reasoning, Al can cast his arguments into a practically impregnable mold. His flawless read- ing of Latin and French slipped sadly in importance when junior logic swam into his ken . Even the trees on the Common lent attentive ears when our young Demosthenes de- molished the proponents of Com- munism, Socialism and Neo-Hegelian- ism.

FITZGERALD, A.B. 8 Beachview Place, Maiden, Mass. In the midst of a great throng which stormed our doors from the high school on James Street, Ray made a quiet entrance. Ray had the jump on the rest of the A.B. ' s though, be- cause for years he has instructed the altar boys in Latin at St. Joseph ' s, in Maiden. His high-pitched voice is often heard in noisome debate with his side-kick, Larry FitzPatrick. Ray ' s basketball ability is quite well known in his home town but he is better known for the Friday night socials which he has conducted at his home. In class Dave revels in an at- titude of rapt attention with only the slight diversion of a comment now and then. Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4; Boxing -t; Economics Academv 3 LAWRENCE FITZGERALD, A.B. 110 Broadway, AVakefield, Mass. Although Larry had a tendency to doze during a Greek class, this was no true criterion of the wealth of knowl- edge he had stored up. To all ap- pearances he seems quite serious, but his bosom companion, Ben Chiampa, knows Fitz to be a humorist of no mean ability. By virtue of his easy- going nature he became class repre- sentative during his Junior year; lacking personal political aspirations, he distinguished himself as a lunch- room campaign manager. His crop of wavy hair shunned away all pro- spective hair tonic salesmen. As an ethician Larry realized in full his scholastic promise. Despite the dif- ficulty of obtaining transportation from the wilds of Wakefield, Fitzie usually arrived on deck for the Proms.

Larry is that affable lad who would rather agree with his strongest ad- versary than provoke a controversy. Even though he was captain of track at B. C. High, Larry turned aside the call of Jack Ryder to devote more time to studies. He was a welcomed mem- ber of the cafeteria round table, where his dry humor expressed without a smile could disturb even the severest conservative, or lift the gloom of a deficiency. On nights oft , Larry is the major-domo for the local beano, where his silver-toned voice, itself, attracts the customers. In class he assumes the r61e of a student with rapt at- tention.

At the beginning of Sophomore year the brass band was gathered to wel- come our new member from St. Francis Xavier College, Nova Scotia. Art spent his high school days at English High where he earned an enviable reputation as a trackster. But at the Heights he overlooked the cinder path for a more concerted on- slaught at the books. Summer seasons found Art doffing his hat at vacation homesteads while he offered a fine selection of breads and sweatmeats. A slight tint of red brightens his hair and he has that knack of dress, in taste and detail, which only Vogue could picture, together with the suave personality of an ambassador-at- large.

Jim is best appreciated by the boys of Sophomore H because of his untiring efforts to organize off-the-campus ac- tivities that were merry, convivial affairs. Back on the campus Jim was an active supporter of all student ac- tivities. He has a keen mathematical mind and in conversing with him one can instantly recognize the lucid, yet constructive train of his thought. He proved himself to be a bridge player of no mean ability during his under- graduate days. For home diversion he prefers to read poetry and occa- sionally an ess ay. We all expect Jim to succeed because we know that he has the necessary ability and person- ality which is attributed to successful men.

FLYNN, B.S. (Biol.) 59 Summer St., Salem, Mass. A budding young medico is what we see in Tutter, as he is known to his pals. An ardent enthusiast for science, Tutter is always popping up with some new theory or discovery — an Ein- stein or something. The rotunda in the lunchroom is his favorite haunt, when classes are over or cut. This barrel-chested soprano could cjualify for any barber-shop quartet. For a good friendly chat, just look up Tutter and he ' s sure to give you a run for your money, f or he is a two-fisted sharpshooter who never pulls his punches. But we don ' t hold that against him, rather, we envy him.

(Honors) 48 Bacon St., Waltham, Mass. John combines those two qualities frequently mentioned but rarely found namely, gentleman and scholar. Genial and reserved, still he would give Floyd Gibbons a close run in a battle of words. Seldom do we see John loitering about, for his nervous nature keeps him continually on the go. Very conscientious, he devotes valuable time to the blind. As an economist, he expounds at great length theories of money and bank- ing. Despite his many activities he always finds time to attend the class dances where crowded floors offer no obstacle to him as he whirls briskly through and around the whirling masses.

A wealth of talents and a great per- sonality gave Paul the inside pole in the race for the most gentlemanly senior at University Heights. The Inquiring Reporter , the manager of the fencing team, and the dramatist, is an unobtrusive lad who shrouds his real sincerity beneath a cloud of apparent pessimism that has given many an exam -weary lad the remedy for the worst discouragement. Paul has real wit, and a rare facility for creative composition. His loyalty, thoughtfulness, and appreciation of another ' s difficulties, have won for him the admiration of his many friends. He is an ardent supporter of frequent get-togethers to reminisce over a cup of coffee, where cynicism is forgotten and Paul is himself.

FLYNN, B.S. {Educ) 1 Marlow St., Dorchester, Mass. The distinction of being the Most Versatile member of ' 39 was earned by this modest Dorchester lad whose talents are spelled with the three S ' s of success; sincerity, sacrifice, and sympathy. Unanimous accla- mation raised him to the captaincy of the football squad. Although Bill was always a high ranking student with many interests, he still found time to be the sustaining force of the Hockey Team ' s forward line. Indeed it is an unselfish sacrifice of time itself which allows him to participate in long practice sessions and a natural scholarship to maintain a high scholas- tic standing. However, with all the publicity and notoriety which Lefty has had, he still remains silently modest.

EARL S. FOLEY, B.S. (Soc. Sci.) 32 Hillside St., Hyde Park, Mass. In Earl we have not only a clever student, a real bug on sports and books (he is one of the old stand-bys at the Copley Square Library), but one whose real claim to fame is in his inimitable quietness. This is cer- tainly a most refreshing aspect to find in anyone, and a remarkable con- trast to the wild and woolliness that typifies the Joe College of the campus. He is certainly a most effective foil, and puts us all to shame. Quiet though he may be, to those who know him well, he very quickly and very conclusively reveals himself as a real, true friend. Interested entirely in social work, he hopes to make this his life ' s work, and to him we wish all the good luck that Dame Fortune can and should shower upon him.

Followers of the Boston College band will ever remember this lad of the horn section. His rendition of For Boston was absolutely unpecedented. Remember that long sustained B flat? Aside from his musical prowess, Ed can boast of a broad knowledge of political undercover activities which has led him to doubt the integrity of most civic-minded citizens. Plus the cynic indifference engendered by this dismay Ed has a naturally smooth manner, born of nights spent touring the town with Eddie Guthrie, his Somerville associate. Both these qualities should help Ed in an am- bition which is divided between Law and Social Service. League of the Sacred Heart 1, ' 2, 3, 4; Sodality 3, 4; Baud 4; Prom Committee 3. EDWARD L. FOLEY, A.B. 8 Penhallow St., Dorchester, Mass. Ed is that bundle of nervous energy that can be either a passive spectator or a comedian whose original, seem- ingly unconscious wit could arouse even Bernard Shaw to a favorable comment. He spends many a lunch period sitting in the cafeteria, twid- dling with a lock of hair while he stares in rapt attention lest he miss the point of one of Flynn ' s subtle jokes. Ed is a conscientious lad who seriously seeks to do well at any task at hand. B. C. has an enthusiastic booster in this Dorchester lad, who supports all class functions with that same loyal sincerity that has made him a real friend to so many of us.

(FaIuc.) 48J4 Dunlop St., Salem, Mass. Walt, the high pressured salesman ever ready with a hand shake, is the political aspirant from Salem. A cafeteria argument is seldom provoked without Walt as the center of the controversy. The boys from home find him a willing fourth at bridge to pass the time away on the long ride from Salem. Even though Christmas season has him assisting Santa on the mails Walt consistently pays his respects to the social whirl, together with his friend Fred Tyrell, but he ' s alone with his psych, book before mid-years. The B. C. Salem Club has a willing supporter in this local boy who needs only to be asked and he will lend a hand to any function.

Bill is the tape breaker from Water- town High School who lived up to his advance notices as a track man by his fine showing in Jack Ryder ' s cinder crew. His naturally curly hair has been the envy of many a lad, but Bill remains reserved and quiet. In the lunchroom he would sit and enjoy the frivolity of the dispensers of mirth with but hardly a comment. Like most of us Bill looks to the orals as an ominous cloud that lifts only when the timekeeper gives his rescu- ing nod. In class he maintains his usual complacence. Social functions hold little attraction for Bill except when they represent the college as a whole. League of the Sacred Heart 1, 2, 3, 4; Sodality 1, 2; Track 1, 2, 3; Economics Academy 3. ROBERT H. FREDENBURG B.S. (Chem.) 410 No. Ave., No. Abington, Mass. Bob Fredenburg is a man of many talents. Possessed of a cool, calculat- ing, scientific mind he loves to spend long hours in a laboratory with his beloved experiments. He is also an accomplished pianist and can serenade with either Brahms, Chopin or Larry Clinton equally as well. An earnest fellow, Bob ' s tall slender frame and cheery smile are well known to all the undergraduates. Coming to Boston College Bob really put the little old town of Abington on the map with his personality and ease in making friends.

Upon facing Father O ' Connor, S. J., on that fateful September morning of ' 37, Frank decided that his major field was philosophy.

GALLAGHER B.S. {Phys.) 25 Pickman St., Salem, Mass. Here is a man who made quite a name for himself as master of ceremonies on the daily 8:L5 special of the Lake Street line. In this capacity he al- ternated between leading group dis- cussions of chem. problems and as- sisting the Notre Dame quartet with their vocal renditions. Jack is a product of St. Mary ' s in Lynn where he reveled in a Post Graduate course. A keen thirst for knowledge and a love of research led him to choose the sciences as his field of endeavor, and he made no mistake either, as mem- bers of the Physics Academy will testify.

Poet, swordsman, philosopher — no not Cyrano but our friend Walter Gallagher. His poems of ships and nature contain the making of another Robert Frost or Swinburne. Walt, next to courting the Muse, likes to take up his gun and hunt quail, then return home for a stirring evening with Kant or a bit of Schopenhauer. His Junior year at the LTniversity of Detroit is now notorious because of his dilemma in deciding for whom to cheer in the grid battles.

Efficient in every respect, command- ing in appearance, serious, and looking always for the solution to every prob- lem, Paul may be put in the class of most outstanding . His ability for handling every situation is easily recognized. He has the finesse of an English diplomat and the silver-tongue persuasion of a bank president ' s front office man caught with four appoint- ments for the same hour. His capa- bilities are numerous and he has found opportunity to express them all as Business Manager of the Dramatic Society and a staunch member of our Sodality.

He has won the title to Knight Commander of the Cross and Crown by a whirlwind career of presidencies of increasing importance. He is the personification of the pro- verbial busy man who always has time to do something else. A modern Demosthenes, John has the fluency of the old Greek himself, with all his self-assurance and stage presence. J. F.

The Economics class affords him ample opportunity to discuss his several and various opinions on the banking and labor problems facing us today. Jim is a full-fledged member of the cafeteria brethren whom he constantly disturbs with his raucous laughter and confirmed deliberation on subjects discussed by the carefree gathering.

His name has been indelibly printed in the athletic annals at the Heights. Unheralded as a freshman, he de- veloped into an athletic star, com- bining the helpful characteristics of the sports field with a pleasing per- sonality and conscientious classroom attitude. Concentrating upon history as his major scholastic pursuit, he has carved out an unforgettable history of his own. His modest personality endeared him to his friends and classmates as greatly as his athletic endeavors won him ad- miration from the B. C. sports fol- lowers. His worth as a student was aptly shown by his classmates who conferred upon him the Coveted Heights Athletic Certificate.

Bill is the soft spoken Pre-Med. stu- dent from Arlington who for four years has been lost in the labs of the science building, seldom visiting the cafe- teria except to grab a sandwich and dash back to the boiling water. Yet, withal, he has a facility for subtle remarks that lighten any conversa- tion. Self-complacency and reserve have always colored his activity and even though he finds little time for extra-curricular activities, a class func- tion never finds him wanting. His few ofT moments were spent swelling the chorus of the Glee Club when they fulfilled the various engagements on their trips and locally.

A ready smile, affable conversation, and infectious laughter are among the assets that were bequeathed to Wal- ter. Rare qualities, these, which soon led him to increase his store of friends. Debonair, soft-spoken, courteous, and cheerful. Water might well be cited as the epitome of the term gentleman. One of the few boarding students, Walt ' s room was always a fine spot to visit to talk or play away the night.

This Somerville lad who stands a good bit over six feet with a back span that almost changes the width of doorways has confirmed (i])inions on administrative policies which have been sanctioned favorably in class elections. Many a lunchroom discussion has waxed hot when Bob deliberated, but his activities on the Heights, outside of class, have been checkmated by his various jobs of catering, clerking, and managing a dance hall. Many a couple at the Ocean Gardens has been subdued by a nod from our towering friend, whose watchword is order and propriety.

A bit retiring, but with a sober air of perseverance, Rus ventured into a major field of Romance Languages with a concerted effort expended on Spanish. As president of the Spanish Academy, he organized and promoted various dramatic productions, ban- quets, movies, and what not, for the entertainment as well as the develop- ment of the club members. Rus has the facility of making the benefit of a joke last longer by his laughter, which begins as a hardly audible chuckle. His pet solace is a philosophic quibble nurtured by the smoke of his pipe.

C, but his fancy and clever baton-twirling will be long remembered by the class. In fact his ability as a musician and his good-fellowship won for him the presidency of the Music Clubs. He always seems to be in a hurry. Ed says, If you want something done, do it yourself , an axiom he carries out in practice. As a member of a unique fraternity, Ed has combined social and scholastic activities perfectly. Always present at the dances, ever a good student, Ed is the kind of fellow you like to know.

Ed is a little different from most of us, but only because he has majored in Math. Yet the scientific approach has not clouded his aesthetic sensi- bility. His saxophone has been a valuable contribution to the harmony of the band on Saturday afternoons while his voice has enriched the rendi- tions of the Glee Club. Bespectacled, Ed has impressed us by his militant enthusiasm for all things scholastic, whether classic or social.

To him Senior year would be a joy sublime where it not for accounting. Joe has found that a good song conquers over all, and he has made possible many an enjoyable evening with his rich bari- tone voice. His best friend and con- fidant. Herb Rooney, will gladly attest to this fact.

HARRINGTON A.B. 67 Dudley St., Cambridge, Mass. Skippy, as the boys prefer to call him, will always be remembered by his smile. It is truly magnetic and natur- ally draws friends. Often we found Skip in a very pensive mood but he later proved that his ponderings paid huge dividends. He never looks to the past but always to the future. Per- haps the Post Office holds something in store for him. He is known as the foundation block which holds together the inseparable four.

Bob ' s enthusiasm and nervous energy knew no bounds until his neurons de- cided to part company temporarily with his enthusiasm in the days of ' 38. Returning in September he was again his old self. Bob ' s claim to fame is that he never missed a social event at B. C; he even shagged to one on a cane. Although it would seem that Bob never sat still long enough, some- how he found time to exercise a prodi- gious appetite for reading. But even the folklore of the ancients could not dampen his zest for bow ties. Travel- ing seems to hold an added attraction for Bob, for he is a steady customer for tourist agencies during the summer months.

This smiling, debonair redhead has a major interest in conversation where he proves himself well informed, with a special preparedness in topics his- torical. Many a weekend social has been saved from annihilation by Joe ' s gift of extemporary expression and his further asset of a good listener. He has the duplicity of character in the seriousness of the proverbial judge and the wit of a radio comedian. Quietly attired after the fashion of a future- pondering Senior, Joe meanders about the campus aware of his studies and with little concern for other activities.

Whenever he has time to kill, he can be found in the cafeteria at one of the tables quietly listening as he puffs his pipe. If he has any comment to make, he does so in a leisurely fashion in his deep bass voice. He never seems too en- thused about anything; to watch him, one would say that he couldn ' t get excited. Closer inquiry shows him to be well acquainted with the doings in the sport world and more especially with what our own athletes are doing.

The sight of an overstrained convertible charging up to the science building came to be logically connected with Joe ' s arrival at the Heights. The title of champion cafeteria coffee- drinker is hereby bestowed on Joe who sampled enough Java in four years to satiate the Yankee Division for a decade. This affable lad is a bundle of constant activity, hurrying from place to place with a nervous inquisitiveness for further activity, with his tousled hair, and high-water pants in real collegiate style.

Hendie was a delegate from the Red- berry Council, Knights of Columbus. With such an auspicious background, he soon came to the fore as an orator who swayed audiences from South Boston to Salem with the Sodality lecture teams. The Fulton room also resounded when his deep voice was heard defending some Rooseveltian theory with the usual rigid vehemence which characterized his manner of debate. Possessed of a fine physique and an almost military bearing, Hendie found ready acceptance in the clan of McCready and Kerr, Socialites, Inc. Obviously such a career will surely culminate on the political platform at some future date.

But his zest is further supplemented with a burning quest for audiences for the Sodality lecture team, to expound on Socialism or Fascism when frivolity is brushed aside by the purposeful student. Back at school again, Huck dashes about with his well-crumpled hat settled on the back of his head, in the role of a diplomat of good-will in the cafeteria or as a jokester for the Somerville triumvirate at a class dance. After battling his way through sophomore French, Huck worked right into the swing of junior philosophy and has only half the floor-pacing of most of us at orals.

LEONARD HENNESSY, A.B. 23 Frawley St., Boston, Mass. He plays saxophone in the band, but apart from this musical quotation which is the truth in itself, Len is a serious lad with an ambition for intel- lecual pursuit. Often his earnestness for an answer to a disturbing point lias found him hailing some Prof, in the Rotunda or quizzing the members of the cafeteria Brotherhood. The Glee Club has fostered well under his dependable managership as the Eco- nomics Journal has had its birth and flourish under his editorship. Per- haps that touch of worry which creases his brow just a little now and then is only an expression of his utter con- cern for every detail of the least re- quiring task which falls his way.

(Higf.) 11 Topliff St., Dorchester, Mass. An easy-chair, a reading lamp, a cigar and a book, these items associated with a six-foot, two hundred pound specimen of the finest young American manhood personify Will Holland. Quiet and reserved. Will frequently amazes those who do not know of his extensive reading knowledge with forceful and logical orations on any topic that admits of discussion. His football deftness as an adamant lineman was rewarded with a regular berth on the varsity. An outstanding athlete, an able student, a true friend, and still we have not justified his character, for his touch of subtle wit and frank comment often chased the nebulous blues.

[94] ALBERT HORSFALL, B.S. (Ed.) 23 Main St., Exeter, N. H. Al, as he is affectionately known by his classmates, will long be remembered for his sportsmanlike attitude both on and off the athletic field. His sustained loyalty and tireless, un- selfish energy has characterized his every undertaking during his sojourn at B. C. His courage, manifested so strongly in the face of several in- juries, so endeared him to the hearts of the members of his class that he was signally honored by being chosen Class Athlete. Disavowing any forensic prowess, the lad has ever maintained a quiet, reserved attitude supplemented, however, by a per- sonality that is given to dry quips and cracks when the occasion warranted.

Danny is one of West Roxbury ' s best contributions to the class of ' 39. He is usually happy and carefree but finds that life has its dull moments when midyears roll around. His bow ties are the envy of all those who com- pete with him in this manner of dress. Dan will be remembered for some time beadling under Father Vaughn in sophomore. Working has occupied a great deal of his time, but he has al- ways managed to maintain his social prominence. Dan is the lad who bustles about the cafeteria with the frayed end of a smoldering cigar in his mouth.

[95] ROBERT L. HOWARD, A.B. 151 Fellsway West, Medford, Mass. The architectural splendour of the buildings first attracted Bob ' s atten- tion and brought him to our portals. For Bob is an enthusiastic student of design and of the origin and dimen- sions of period constructions. To- gether with John O ' Toole, his in- separable compatriot. Bob engages in the missionary labor of singing the praises of Dr. Bowen, the popular Professor of Architecture, and his lantern slide lectures. Economics claims the rest of Bob ' s time, that is, what is left of it after the round of social events has taken its toll. For despite a full program. Bob has the reputation of being quite a social lion. Sodality 1. ' 2; Economics Academy 3, i; Von Pastor Academy ' 2; Glee Club 1, 2; Rifle Team 1. i; Band 1; Law and Gov- ernment Academy 3. GEORGE HUDSON 99 Woodlawn St., Lynn, Mass. There are always a few who get the most out of anything they study and George can certainly be placed in this category. For George has kept the professors on their toes through- out his stay here with his well-timed and neatly phrased queries. On ac- count of this happy faculty he is known as the grand inquisitor of the class. George has been a rabid anti- communist ever since that ism reared its head in this country, and in this regard he has virtually worn out his welcome at the library by taking out a daily armful of anti-red literature.

John Bud Hunter, one of the best known members of the Class of Thirty-nine, is lively, industrious and conscientious. John was for four years one of the most volatile mem- bers of the Glee Club and Cheering section. His presence at an athletic event assured B. C. of a volume of vocal support. Bud leaves Boston College with many happy memories, true friendships and a fine record of accomplishment. His work was the paragon of effort and the ultimate in results. Although the demands of a Pre-Med. course usually subdue the spirit of a good many, Bud is an enthusiastic visitor of the cafeteria during a short lunch period.

(Educ.) 50 Bradwood St., Roslindale, Mass. Dave has an enthusiasm that is some- day to be loosed on his chosen work, and when that day comes, the rest of the field may just as well adjust them- selves to becoming a fitting back- ground for him. Wliether it be sports, a trip to Western Maryland, or some particular phase of the curriculum that interests him, he can ' t rest until he has exhausted himself or every angle of the object of his interest. Such a spirit is seldom discouraged by any difficulty and its possessor is naturally the envy of more than a few. One thing is certain: whatever success comes to Dave will be a source of sincere pleasure to his friends — and he has many of them.

High with quite a reputation, both as a mathematician and as a diamond warrior. Out here, he dropped the Math, in favor of Economics but continued his baseball career, roaming the outfield for the Eagles during the afternoons, and, after a hasty supper, hurrying to the local ball field to twirl the Star of the Sea outfit to two consecutive cham- pionships in the Twilight League. Such competitive spirit singles out Frank as the virile, manly type who is ever ready for any kind of activity, although too modest to take the lead. Autumn will find him busy at the law books.

(Hist.) 426 Salem St., Maiden, Mass. Ira is that lad who so often galloped about the gridiron amidst the cheers of B. C. rooters and to the amazement of all his opponents. Rumor hath it that this lad who modestly meanders about the campus is a real live wire in the locker-room, when towels are tossed his way, or the anvil chorus is in session. But even with all the football notoriety that has been his, Ira remains the modest gentleman who speaks only when spoken to, and seeks never to give offense. With the close of the football season he supplies the wants of the boys with valentines, Christmas cards or any other knickknack there is a mar- ket for.

One of the most representative Boston College men of the Campus, Jim is a cultured gentleman and a fine scholar. His four years on the Heights have been progressive and fruitful, char- acteristic of his versatile and pleasing personality. As an honors man, Jim has realized the peak of scholastic endeavor in admission to the Order of the Cross and Crown in his senior year. An ardent Sodalist, he parti- cipates in outside work as a speaker and was a member of the Sodality Apostolic Committee. Success in later life is assured him if he continues to develop those characteristics that are so typical of him for we know he has the talented persistence.

KEANE, A.B. 12 Thetford Ave., Dorch., Mass. With a presentation in the Morgan manner, featuring a rich tone of voice and a suave flow of conversation, P. Alphonse represents the dignified college senior. While acting as Man- aging Editor of the Heights and seeking ads for the Sub Turri, he found time to lead the march militaire of a neighboring college. As mes- senger boy in the Greek play, x ntigone , he braved the elements and courageously appeared in Doric Kitown. Besides being an interesting guide during Sodality conventions, Paul is a compensation to a good joke.

[99] JOHN E. KEEFE, B.S. (Educ.) 20 Tyler Court, Maiden, Mass. John ' s professional dignity is an out- growth of his training at Massachu- setts General where as a white-coated orderly he could be found in the inter- esting company of the internes or the staff surgeons, themselves. In spite of his close affinity with the morgue, John has a lively sense of humor, but after scanning his fur - embellished chapeau which he sports, we are in- clined to believe that his sartorial tastes veer towards the unearthly . He typifies the independent student who forages through the intellectual jungle on his own. Unobtrusive but progressive, he makes haste slowly , with a view to the morrow as another day. Every class function has his loyal support. Marquette Debating Society 1 -. Heights 1 ; Sub Tuhri — Biographer; Library As- sistant. PAUL H. KEEFE, B.S. {Educ.) 53 Fairmount St., Arlington, Mass. Paul Keefe is a lad from Arlington who intends to transfer his bit of education absorbed at the Heights to future young lovers of learning. Paul must be of a clannish nature for he could usually be seen in the company of John Keefe — no relation, but the same tribe. If Paul ever has a family shield it should be emblazoned with the motto The music goes round and round , for Paul was chauffeur ex- traodinaire to the recording system of one of our local hostelries. Not all his music was canned, for his baritone throbbing contributed much to the material welfare of the Glee Club and his horn to the band.

KELLEHER, A.B. 1 Lillian St., Boston, Mass. An excellent combination of a suave gentleman and sincere friend who delights to please, is what we know of East Boston ' s gift to B. C. who seems to be a natural athlete and scholar rolled into one person. Joe spends much of his time discussing current vital problems with his chief and intimate side-kicks: Bob Kelley, John Roddy and Frank Hyland or discussing the potentialities of Sea Biscuit in the 5th at Suffolk. As an athlete Joe can handle the ball with the best of them but he confined his talents to the diamond at Orient Heights where he performed for the local, stand-packed galleries.

Stepping out of College Humor and the rumble seat of his ride with a reversible topcoat and no hat in zero weather, Frank has always been a marvel to us. Dartmouth has been a member of several classes due to his divided interests of a college career, and the contracting business. His tales of the old order always find a ready audience with tradition- seekers of whom we have many at the Heights. If you care to be pre- sented to the best Back Bay society, Frank will be glad to make the intro- ductions. He is a politician of great promise, whose command of English, enriched by extensive reading, can sway any audience, as proven in the recent state elections.

A member of the inseparable trium- virate of honors men: Kelley, Lloyd, and Law, Kel added a distinctive personality to this threesome. John gave many informal lunchroom lec- tures on topics ranging from the possi- bilities of the Boston Bees to proper de- portment at proms. His many original theories for the solution of world-wide and personal problems are propounded in a confident manner characterized by disconcerting gesticulations of the index finger, rapid-fire speech, and a habit of answering his own questions. Getting into a tuxedo presents the bane of his existence. As a devotee of the national pastime, Kel fre- quently surmised correctly the pen- nant winners, in both leagues or quoted some player ' s history.

Coming from English High, Jim soon endeared himself to members of the class with the happy-go-lucky smile which marked his good-fellowship at all times. His popularity was evi- denced during the senior year by his election to the Presidency of the Student Athletic Association. A natural ability soon came to the fore in his position when he organized cheering sections and after the game dances. All of his endeavors were met with success because of his ceaseless activity. When he left Dorchester to live in the Arsenal Town his fine qualities were soon recognized by this town ' s sons and he became a leader in the B. C. Club of Watertown.

Renown in class, active in extra-cur- ricular activities, Dick is a picture of the easy-going college boy. We can never forget his undying efforts in the very intricate steps of the Greek Chorus. . . . What would Sophocles have done without him? He labors to master the simple things in life, but seeks escape in a chuckle and comment on the suffering of some squirming individual quivering in a quizz class. That martial-like air and perfect posture of his reflect his success as a Corporal of the Marine Corps. Socially, Dick is dapperly present at every function and trips the light fantastic in true Murray School style.

Bob is the paradox of a reticent social- ite who completes the triumvirate of Roddy and Mallard in the united stand for more social functions. He remains the quiet man of action who never misses a dance and who seldom graces the stag line of any affair. He is a real sportsman with an inter- est in any athletic pastime but with a particular liking for baseball, where he thrives as a pitcher. Bob hardly ever resists an opportunity to add his comment to a joke that needs a bit of a push to put it over. Yet his outside interests hold second place to his earnestness for studies or a chance for reading. League of the Sacred Heart 1, 2, 3, 4; Playshop 4. [103] EDMUND F. KENNEDY, A.B. 630 Third St., South Boston, Mass. At B. C. High, Coach McManus called him his watch-charm guard, and the coach was sparing in his praise. As a trackman Ed was no star but he was a consistent point getter, who often clinched a close meet. Coming to college he gave up sports to devote more time to studies and extra-curricular activities. Quiet, and standing only 5 ' 7 Ed is big, if only because of his presence. In studies he favors Economics, his chosen major field. For a good part of his term at the college Ed has been hidden from the public behind the stacks of the library.

As a protege of Fred McCready, Pete ' s social success was secure from the beginning. Some say that the student has even surpassed the master. Pete needed no tutoring however in his own art, that of making friends, for his firm handclasp and Pepsodent smile have made him as popular here as he is in his own neighVjorhood. His Senior year was spent helping his little brother George get acclimated to the collegiate atmosphere. We never at- tended a B. C. function without meet- ing Pete, and we are looking forward to the alumni soirees where we will surely find Pete ' s smile and his friendly greeting of good-fellowship.

Dan is Springfield ' s delegate to the Heights, who has the happy disposi- tion of becoming intimately ac- quainted with whom ever he meets. He spends many an hour in the cafe- teria discussing the probable outcome of an election or the chances of his favorite candidate in the state polls. For a man that consistently made the Dean ' s List, Dan could moan louder than the rest, Boy did I flunk that one! Yet he came out at the top invariably. One of his favorite, but well practiced pastimes is to josh in apparent seriousness an unsuspecting Freshman about the dire consequences of taking an unnecessary cut.

(Honors) 527 Geneva Ave., Dorch., Mass. Silent Tom, a product of Latin School, has lived up to the Latin Tradition. A serious student and an ardent worker, he spends a good bit of his time study- ing. Although he cares little for most social affairs, an important one al- ways finds him on deck. Take things as they come and never worry about tomorrow , is his motto, but when we see him striving for his ideal we doubt the application of the quotes to Tom. He is a lad who makes friends slowly but with the firmness of a lasting acquaintanceship. The hot stove league has him as a worthy member who delights to discuss the week ' s events in the bustling cafeteria.

Ed is just a bundle of effervescent energy that expresses itself in a bustle of activity to do a thousand and one jobs. He has the facility of making friends readily, and no matter where he goes he manages to find someone he knows. But even Beano promo- tion couldn ' t keep Ned from steady at- tendance at the hockey games. At the least provocation he will break into a song or a story of his days at B. C. High. However, this energy often acts as a camouflage of an other- wise serious fellow who is anxious to help out and sincerely attends to his work. Ned is a consistent student and a loyal supporter of all functions.

KOZLOWSKI, A.B. 26 Ward St., South Boston, Mass. As a dependable end for two years Jan greatly aided in keeping the Maroon and Gold prominent in the victory column. He also displayed a precocity that found expression in other phases of activity. For under his tutelage independent basketball received a new impetus, and we feel certain that because of his efforts that this sport will be revitalized shortly, as a major activity at the Heights. Jan gave the student body a well rounded insight of other campus ac- tivities as exchange editor of the school paper. Off the campus he spends his spare time with one of the Boston airlines. Thus we have a composite picture of Jan, as an athlete, sports-manager, and news- paper man.

Larry is another one of those hidden lights that are found in nearly every college. Canvass the class and how many will you find that know he is a member in good standing of the honors section, a former winner of the coveted prize in German, and an ex- cellent basketball player. In addition to his fine natural abilities, Larry has acquired a winning social manner, and a quiet, though pungent, sense of humor that make those few who really know him, value his friendship highly. If this life may be compared to the Kentucky Derby, and the members of our class to the horses, Larry is an entry who will get a heavy vote from the railbirds.

Tommy is Weymouth ' s local boy with the undisturbed atmosphere of an idealistic, Yankee philosopher with a deep sense of values, who refuses to be alarmed by any ruckus. Proud of his college he always welcomes the opportunity to defend his Alma Mater. His one regret is the fact that he lived so far away that he has found it impossible to engage in out- side activities. Wisely has he chosen teaching as his profession for he has the humor and simple honesty so necessary. But distance meant little to Tom when the class was running its jamborees; he was right on hand.

When the shades of the Muses rushed through the campus they singled out Leo to be their adopted son, and he responded to their favor when he wrote the Ode for the Diamond Jubilee celebration. Between classes he can be seen jaunting toward the library in search of his favorite author or experimenting amidst the equipment of the physics lab. — a scientist yet a classicist. Leo is a very ambitious lad who wastes little time, and his pleasant smile together with the facil- ity to converse make him a boon com- panion in any group. Class functions are never celebrated without this jolly physicist adding his witticisms to the merriment or tripping the light fantastic. Sodality 1, 2, .3, 4; Marquette 2; P. D.

At English High, Harold left his mark of a gridiron notable, but any aspirations for collegiate football were immediately discarded for a more concentrated effort in studies, where he has proven himself a fine philoso- pher who livens most every class with a qviestion or an objection. In fact Harold likes to take the floor and dis- cuss whatever topic is at hand, whether it be a formal meeting or just a get-together. But when school dances are held, Harold really gets into the limelight with his popular exhibitions of the latest intricate dance craze. His major elective is social science where he finds ample material for his many talents. League of the Sacred Heart 1, 2, 3, 4; Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4; Sociology Academy 3, 4; Co-Chairman Junior Week. [108] JAMES F. LAW, A.B. (Honors) 304 Beacon St., Somerville, Mass. Jim would surely pass Dale Carnegie ' s course, for his winning personality has gained him many friends. Because of the various activities that demand his attention, he is continually on the go. His energetic, businesslike manner sparks the Kelley-Law-Lloyd coali- tion. In his capacity of running dances he made valuable contacts and put the Sodality ' s treasury defi- nitely in the black. By his vocal efforts as head cheerleader, Jim con- tributed to the color at the football games. As a helpful friend, he fre- quently assumed the worries of Rooney and O ' Brien before a dance. Born in Ireland, Jim surely showed us the value of smiling Irish eyes in his every action. Sodality 1. 2, 3. -I; French 1, 2; ' -Heights-S. 4, Asso.

A quiet youth came to Boston College in June, 1935. After passing the entrance examinations he became a student for the degree of Bachelor of Science in the Social Sciences. Little more has been heard from Sim since that silent entrance. His pur- suits in the field of law have started at Boston College long before he formally takes up the study of law at the B. C. Law School. His quiet but conscientious characteristics have him a good fellow . He is a popular character at Salisbury Beach, where he spends his summers. If the axiom that breeds knowledge is true we can truly predict that Simeon will easily succeed in his chosen field.

A staunch pupil of Gil Dobie and an earnest classroom student character- ize Andy as we know him. Coming from New Hampton Prep where he established an enviable record as an athlete, captaining the football team, he has succeeded at Boston College as the most versatile player on the foot- ball squad. His serious mien can be easily changed to show his rare sense of humor, and his dry wit has often occasioned laughs in the locker-room. Concentrating on studies he will cer- tainly succeed in his chosen field if those characteristics that have been typical of him in college continue to develop as they have during the past four years.

Bob revealed a versatility excelled only by his modesty. A leader in studies, he also engaged in athletics until his track career was cut short, at its height, by a leg injury. As a pianist, Bob has given many swing recitals, though his closest friends, John Kelley and Jim Law know him to be a lover of Paderewski. For a vacation spot, Bob favors Plymouth, where he passes time as a lobster fisherman. His solo exhi- bition of trucking at the Junior Social was a surprise to many of us.

(Phys.) 12 Harding Ave., Waltham, Mass. Trapper Lord he was knowed as in them days , when the muskrats and mink were plentiful, earned many a dollar at his hobby during Freshman and Sophomore years. But with the coming of the Spring thaw, Frank put aside his traps for the briney deep and an open sailboat on Hull Bay. When a car is out of kilter, Frank is always on hand to repair the fault, with his tool kit. He has a happy-go-lucky disposition of, tomorrow is another day , but when the matter of degrees is discussed, he firmly advocates a B.S. Frank is a real friend and a live member of ' 39.

Our candidate for best dressed Senior is a short, blue-eyed, sandy-haired lad who takes the world in stride and worries about the morrow when the day arrives. An ex-B. C. High grid- iron great, Freddy was as popular among his classmates as he was an efficient and capable attendant at a Dorchester lubritorium. During the long summer months he formed the nucleus of the B. C. Club of Hampton Beach. It may safely be said that Fred tried to please everyone he came in contact with and this may be the secret of the social success that has certainly been his in his four years at the Heights.

If the ability to take a hard knock is an important factor in combating life successfully — and no one will deny that it is — Frank has a good start on the rest of us. Both in baseball and in hockey he has been continually hampered by the injury jinx. Yet, although his athletic career at the Heights has been comparatively brief, his teammates will remember him as a reliable h ard-hitting infielder, and a flashy, dangerous forward. Frank ' s wide popularity shows that he posses- ses to a remarkable degree the valuable knack of getting along with people. This, together with his bakery ex- perience and some fine natural talents, is going to make Frank a hard man to keep down.

This John Paul may never lead a Ranger to fame and glory, but he is just as handy with a sabre and is an accomplished leader. The popular president of the Philosophy Academy has an unobtrusive determination that will carry him far in his chosen field. John thought little of sacrificing a few hours and experiencing the in- convenience of awaiting train con- nections to Haverhill out of loyalty to the fencing team. Philosophy and Ethics were his hobby and his strong points, giving him an easy working knowledge that both astounded us and made us jealous in classroom dis- cussions.

LYDON, A.B. 299 Railroad Ave., Norwood, Mass. If study makes great men, Ray is not far from attaining this distinction. The Pre-Med. course has held no terrors for him. He has been a staunch student of the German lan- guage and speaks it with the fluency of a native. Having conquered this field he turned his attention to chemistry and solved its. problems. He possesses the marks of an out- standing student, keenness and fore- sight. Med. school is his objective, specialization his aim, medicine his obsession. His specia l sport is foot- ball. Although never a player, he knows the game in every detail. German 1, ' i; Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4; Chemistry 3,4. JAMES P. LYNCH, A.B. 27 Vernon St., Waltham, Mass. Jim entered Boston College by way of B. C. High and proudly calls Waltham his home. Jim, a quiet, pleasant chap, has made many good friends on the Heights. A veteran of the golf team, he has made three southern trips and reveals a marked fondness for the sunny climes. To- gether with Herb Mallard he forms a formidable match-play duo that has won its shares of victories. He has ambitions of globe-trotting in true Halliburtin style but will probably settle for a hotel berth in the south. All styles of music are his forte, par- ticularly opera, though swing also holds its sway. Teaching seems to be his interest in life.

John gave Melrose a prominent place in the collegiate sports headlines, when he graced the tennis courts at the Heights. Like Sherman, he marched through the Southern ranks during the last tennis-team trip below the Mason-Dixon Line. John needs no swing band, but merely a tennis racket to amuse the jitterbug in- stinct in him. A discussion of promi- nent orchestras of the day brings to light his love of music. His taste along sartorial lines revealed a passion for plaid ties and Joe College hats. As a student, he became an expert in the grammatical construction of French juxtaposition and a master of the works of Racine and Hugo. French Academy 4; Tennis 3, 4; League of the Sacred Heart. GEORGE A. LYONS, A.B. 666 Columbia Rd., Dorchester, Mass. Attired in his Joe College trench coat and bow tie, George meanders about the campus with P. Moore and Al Horsfall, expressing a particular in- terest in the exploits of the sports world, varying from cock-fighting to chess. George is the dauntless voice of deliberation in Religion classes and the Murray refrain of smooth dancing for any dance-minded aspir- ants. He is a perennial member of the lunchroom associates, that il- lustrious group who propound phi- losophy, or anything and everything. His red hair is no indication of un- controlled fire, for he is genial; a well- met fellow who can give and take with a smile.

C. with a solid foundation from Latin School and thereupon has erected castles of envious heights. His hearty laugh has many times saved a poor pun from complete annihilation; his aggressive and feoisterous debates may echo ' round the world of the student body. Harry alone has exacted his library fee in full. In years to come, his spirit will sit there and pound out hour after hour with a seemingly enternal endurance. But Harry is the great light in the meandering of the Sodality lecture teams.

McANDREAVS, .1.5. 81 B Street, Lowell, Mass. Mac, besides having the distinction of coming from the Textile City of Lowell, also bears the distinction of being one of the best dressed seniors. He chooses his clothes to suit his mood, and he is seldom seen wearing a blue suit. His interest in extra- curricular activities has placed him in the president ' s chair of the B. C. Club of the home town. Everyone appre- ciates his capacity to speak straight from the shoulder and to put his best in all his work. Seldom is he seen without his fellow Lowellite, Bob Nutter, but on frequent occasions he is found in the Reference Library absorbing a little of Maher ' s Psy- chology or Father Cronin ' s Ethics.

Gene is one of the few members of the class who has been able to secure membership in both the Cross and Crown and the Gold Key. He has shown marked talents in a great variety of activities. He has written for the Heights, attaining to the position of City Editor in Senior; he proved a really excellent toastmaster at the Sophomore Banquet at the Continental; he was an active and capable member of the speaking team in the Junior Sodality. In addition, Gene is no stranger to the Dean ' s List.

FRANCIS X. McBRIDE, A.B. 100 Redlands Rd., W. Roxbury, Mass. Frankie wasn ' t born with a silver spoon but he won for himself a golden glove. Yes sir, the boy has class (135- Ib. class to be exact) and has a better punch than an old maid ' s bridge party. Frank does his road work with his boon companion, Joe McNulty, and often gets in practice trying to make his classes on time. He is a popular soda jerker in a West Roxbury apothecary. His friends tell us that he uses a left jab. The lad frowns on boxing as a career for he would rather concentrate on the battle of life. Accordingly, studies get the nod. His hat is in the ring to become a teacher, and it is safe to say any left wing faction will behave in his classes.

Unanimously selected as Class Columnist by the annual student poll, Joe will dis- appoint us if he fails to become an outstanding newspaper man. His weekly column in the Heights , his successful one-man job of the ' 36 Junior Pic , and his frequent articles in the Bostoti Post certainly warrant such a prediction.

No colorless nondescript was he, but our inspiration for those tri-weekly themes, a classmate with an abun- dance of ideas that he could express in an easy, familiar style. Of course Phil ' s many friends were not all made by his literary-sharing ability. Latin held no terror for him and the cultural values of the classics that he acquired, stand him in good stead as he sets forth on a business career, fitted with true knowledge and practicability.

Classmates will especially remember Bill as the soft-spoken individual whose ability to take copious notes was only excelled by his capacity for comprehending the subject matter. He is a very enthusiastic sports follower with more than an ordinary interest in track, although baseball and football are hardly minor at- tractions for the lad. Bill is modest and reserved but we can ' t help but recall that his exploits in Freshman football were supplemented by an outstanding athletic career at North Reading High, where he was a football player of note.

If one of the main purposes of a college is to enrich and develop personality, then Bill has reaped a harvest. From Freshman to Senior he has expressed himself more and more. But life for him wears crimson or sombre robes in proportion to the success or failure of his faithfully followed College athletic teams. About the campus. Bill dryly deliberates in his soft- spoken manner, but he is right out there in front with his top hat at a formal. Bill is a real friend, whose time is gladly given to the activities on the Heights.

This is not Jack ' s only claim to fame, however, as his melodious saxophone was a feature of the dance orchestra which held forth after the Glee Club concerts, that is, when they were not enter- taining patrons of the French line on cruises to Bermuda. Aside from his music, Jack usually makes very little noise even of a conversational nature.

(Phys.) 45 Newman St., So. Boston, Mass. Paul is a real live wire in no matter what sort of a gathering he may be found. It is a pretty safe bet that he will be present almost anywhere with his ready smile. After coming from English High he made himself right at home here at B. C, and in spite of his heavy school schedule in the de- partment he has found time to give his support wholeheartedly to school activities. In his few remaining moments he has managed to develop into a switchboard operator where he can practice up on his conversational ability.

Phil is a chap whom we don ' t see often enough around the cafeteria, which is the usual student gathering place during spare moments. He came out to the Heights after establishing quite a record at Sacred Heart High. We ' ve always known him as a quiet man- nered fellow who has proven himself to be a conscientious student with the result that he has found himself on the Dean ' s List. Besides keeping up with the general run of school duties, like several others at B. C, he has found time to do some theatre usher- ing. For relaxation he finds that there is nothing like a camping trip with the B. S. A. Sodality 3, 4; Von Pastor 4; Glee Club 4; Track 1, 2, 3, 4. WILLIAM A. McCORMACK B.S.

Eager to Italianize himself, he took Anthony as a middle name and studied Dante ' s works for three years. In the Academy of his acquired nationality he helped stage the Diamond Jubilee production as well as this year ' s dramatic enterprise. Mac, as the boys in the Poet ' s Corner know him, is the quintessence of good cheer, geniality, and good-fellowship with an ambition to clean up politics. As a local personality.

Hardworking Doc is one of the few Pre-Med. men who can stay at the head of his class and still banter about in the social whirl so as to become one of the most popular members of the class. Fred is an exceptionally tal- ented fellow whose cry is industry. We will always remembe r his dis- sertations on the medical aspect of a philosophical discussion which he offered at the slightest request and his pointed queries in a quiz class. His little memo book seems to be the major support of his memory.

Boston, Mass. South Boston has sent quite a few members to B. C. None however, can compare with Tom. Quietness is one of his qualities, but it ' s the quietness which is deceptive. He is ready for fun and horseplay at every turn. You will freciuen tly find him wrestling with Dan Ryan, a feud that began in Freshman. In class, Tom can staunchly present reasons against a thesis, and is especially vehement in his assertion that meat need not be eaten on Friday under any circum- stances, dispensations notwithstand- ing. Neckties are obnoxious to Tom and he likes to walk around with his collar open. In short Tom is the quiet fellow, who is dangerous when aroused. Glee Club 3; Football 1 ; Track 4 ; Boxins 4.

Tall, slender and ascetic-looking, Frank has clearly shown his ability to carry on the traditions of famous Hyde Park grads. He has been an excellent student, always at the top in scholastic standing. Further, in an extra-curricular way he has shown especial proficiency in the arts of dancing and roller skating. Mac is always present at any of the college functions, and they in turn, are always the better for his cheery good nature and humorous asides.

Some gentlemen are born, and if this is so, then we must say Fred is one of those fortunate chaps. He has long been an outstanding member of the Glee Club, and once stole the show from the prima donnas by dis- playing his white socks to best advantage while executing an un- rehearsed and unexpected solo on the boards at Regis.

But the school year is a bustle of dramatics, public speaking and Sodality organization. For the four years Tom has been one of the most outstanding Thespians on the Heights, who played one lead after another in Greek, Shakespearean, and modern productions, amid the plau- dits of the critics. He is a clean-cut gentleman with a record of persistent accomplishment as Prefect of the Sodality, as a lecturer and debater, as an essayist and a student.

Tall, dark, well built, and studious, Dan is the personification of the Greek ideal of an athlete ... a capable sportsman and a diligent student. Dan was a potent end for the Dobie system where brawn as well as brain is required. Yet more than that, he is a likeable personality, a well-met fellow, who was an active leader of social functions. Dan ' s sartorial tastes run to the business man ' s pencil-striped suits and sombre ties, while his ready smile and touch of Irish wit sustain an attabilily that makes Danny a real McFaddcn.

Mr GINNIS, A.B. 225 Forest St., Medford, Mass. As many other B. C. men, Don fi- nanced his college education by help- ing Uncle Sam with the mail. He considers college in the nature of an investment and hopes to realize a future profit, but contends that his Greek courses have been nightmares. Though not superstitious, he has one particularly beloved shirt which he wears to every exam. Likes to participate in conversations concern- ing politics and frequently engages in friendly arguments with Art Connor. A man of few cares, Don visited Dartmouth as a stowaway with the hockey team.

Mac, or Joe as he is called by home- towners and close friends, is one of the more reserved collegians at the Heights, though he attained no little degree of fame for the daring and devil-may-care attitude he displayed in piloting a vehicle of most ancient vintage to Philadelphia and back for the love of Alma Mater. Overlookmg this feat which caused some eyebrow- lifting in native Medford, and the fact that he was a distinguished mernber of that famous casual class of Sopho- more E, Joe is well on his way to a teaching career, possibly in French, and his proven ability and determi- nation should carry him to the top of this honorable profession.

This neatly attired lad has an ambiguous per- sonality; on the surface it ' s always a joke, always a smile, but underneath he is serious, with a heart of gold. Although not a big fellow Sonny has the cockiness of a bantam rooster and as much vitality. He answered the call of the open road on the Temple trip by hitch-hiking to Philly.

Majoring in Eco- nomics, Ed hopes one day to be a C.P.A. Few people know it, but Ed helped finance his college career by selling magazines in the summer time for a nationally known concern on a trip throughout New England. After this enlightening experience, he is in favor of revolving doors. He qualifies for truck-driving after manipulating his Willy ' s Chariot throughout the campus.

His movements on the track, as he goes through his paces on the hurdles, are a consolation to Jack Ryder. He is one of the five favored Knights left at the Physics round table, and his scholarship has placed him at the top of the senior rating-list.

Perhaps that ' s why Joe was so successful in the managerial post of the Boxing Team for two years.

His least claim to fame lies in his trombone. He, unlike Jack Benny, has been known to play. Listed among the truly great performances of the French Academy is his role of Deux Laquais in Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme . His manner of saying Oui Monsieur was truly English. Because he can ' t remain idle when swing music is in the ofEng, he is classed as a modern dancer. But at heart he is loyal to Strauss and his Vienna Waltzes.

Paul presents a personality in which ability is dually demonstrated. For among the men of the laboratory, Paul is a proficient and capable student; as the manager of our foot- ball squad from his Freshman year, he has proved his efficiency for the A. A., and his friendship for our athletes. No matter what went on in the locker room, Paul never dispensed profes- sional secrets, and he was a past master in the art of diplomatically disclosing nothing. He must have imbibed some of the Dobie casual- ness, for no matter how disturbing a situation may be, Paul remains stoi- cally unruffled.

Spirit and is a real adopted son of the Alma Mater. Because he had developed a unique system of argumentation before com- ing to the Heights he refused to be influenced by Scholastic Logic on many points. A lover of the classics, Ralph is usually weighed down with a few volumes of Sophocles and Suetonius or maybe it ' s Horace and Euripides. All his spare time is spent in the library with a Latin-Greek lexicon, yet the cafeteria round table has been thrown into many an uproar by his port mortems of the philosophy class.

Continuing his high school record of winning medals for the classics, and his forensic ability, Charlie has been a consistent honor man, a distinguished orator in the Marquette and a staunch supporter of the Economics Academy. On top of these activities Charlie has found time to make the golf team for four con- secutive years, and teamed with Buddy Roddy they make quite a formidable duo on the links.

He reveals a keen interest in finance, which he hopes to make his career after graduation. Tom could hardly be called a lagger for his industrious attitude and bristling energy have made him a standout among his friends who wonder that such vitality could come out of the sleepy North Shore town.

Those who went to High School with Jimmy have a recollection of a little fellow in short pants, whose proficiency in Latin and Greek made him the out- standing individual of his class. But then in a single summer he grew into a six-footer, and abandoned the wis- dom of Horace and Homer. For Jimmy is now an eminent student in the Pre-Med. course. I-ike most of our future doctors, Jimmy regrets that his studies have required so much of his time, and left little for academy activity. In spite of all obstacles, Jim is a lad with a warm smile, and a real friend. League of the Sacred Heart 1, 2, 3. 4; Pre- Med. Seminar 4; Chemistry Academy 3. ;i2U] ALFRED M. MAHONEY B.S. {Phys.) 26 Adams St., Quincy, Mass. Just like the three little men of the White Flash ads, Al, Chickie, and Pete go together and in our minds are just as amusing. Al spent long years retrieving the fouls bouncing on Mrs. Roberts front walk and graduated to the managerial position on the varsity ball club. During the practice season, the last car in the parking space was usually a trim green Ford that could find its way to the Granite City blind- folded. Al went down to Quantico with the Marine Reserve one summer and liked it so well that he stayed well over the regular six -week training period. His proficiency in things mathematical will stand him in good stead when he starts to plot the to- pography of beleagured lands so that the situation may be well in hand as quickly as possible.

If the essence of Catholic erudition is sincerity, and is manifested by a generosity which is cosmic in its application then Ed is a Catholic erudite. He is a short, stocky lad who cares little for social life but broke out in grand style for the Junior and Senior Proms. Ed wasn ' t content with his job as a butcher for part-time work but had to fill in the empty spaces with gas station attendance. He planned a career as a Woburn teacher but with the present strife between the Mayor and the teachers his future is left in a cloud of doubt.

John is truly a conservative young man while there is a large group around, but to understand his real character one must talk to him in private or in a small group. Here, he becomes quite loquacious and proves to be not only a Philosopher but also a great social thinker. Much of his time is devoted to his studies and his work readily shows the effort he puts forth. However, he is never so efficient that he cannot find time for outside activities. John possesses the talent of aggressiveness and confi- dence together with the virtue of patience.

(Educ.) 27 Bigelow St., Brighton, Mass Others were mentioned in the head- lines of the sport pages but it was generally agreed that Herbert Mal- lard was one of the finest natural athletes in the Class of 1939 at Uni- versity Heights. But apart from his hidden gridiron talent, displayed to advantage on the practice field, Herb will be remembered as an artist with mashie niblick who brightened the annual southern trips of the golf team, a gentleman with a slow smile, and a taste for good clothes and dance music. He could wear a white turkish towel around his neck instead of a scarf and get away with it, such is his air of self-possession. Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Hockey 2, 3, 4; Golf 1,2, 3, 4; Captain 4. [131] JOHN A. MALLOY, A.B. (Honors) 21 Taft St., Dorchester, Mass. John is good looking, serious, and ambitious. He has worked nights throughout his four years at college and yet he graduates with honors. And on graduation he intends to prove that a man can enter the field of public service and keep his ideals. Often, he was seen leaving the lunch- room devotees to pursue his outside reading. John is a strong foe of the New Deal and although he did not try out for the debating teams, he can give scientific and scholarly criticisms of administrative policies in informal debate where his worth as a speaker has been widely recognized. But John still shuns the chairman ' s gavel. League of the Sacred Heart 1, ' 2, 3, 4; Sodality 1, 2, 3, -I; Hockey 1; Sociology Academy 3, 4; Economics Academy 3, 4; Prom Committee 3. JAMES F. MARTIN, A.B. 97 South St., Walpole, Mass. The fact that Jim hails from AValpole (somewhere between Boston and Providence) should not be held against him, in fact it has proven beneficial to him. For the wide open spaces in that vicinity gave Jim so much opportunity to practice his drives and long irons that he is now recognized as one of the best golfers in the Class of 1939. Besides being the mainstay of the varsity on their south- ern trips Jim was a semi-finalist in the Mass. State Junior Tourney in 1938, and barely missed winning the title. That Jim has received the admiration of his classmates was established when he was chosen Secretary of the Pre-Med. Seminar. Undoubtedly he will carry on just as successfully when he enters Tufts Medical in the fall. League of the Sacred Heart 1, 2, 3, 4; Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4; Golf Team 2, 3, 4; Pre- Med.

Joe is received with open arms by the loquacious brethren, for he prefers to win friends by acting the role of a good listener. As an individualist, he became known as an originator of many harmless yet hilarious pranks. Joe frequently found delight in worry- ing his intimates with false rumors of dire import. Walking through the woods of Waltham provides his chief form of recreation. Joe also indulges in a little quail hunting during those invigorating Waltliam Autumns. Dur- ing the winter he sharpens up his rifle eye in the subterranean range of the rifle team. Sodality of the Immaculate Conception 3,4; Rifle Team 1, 2, 3, 4; Chemistry Academy 3, 4. WILLIAM J. MEEHAN, A.B. 48 Watts St., Chelsea, Mass. In a close race for the best-dressed student Bill ran second to his friend George Norberg. Undoubtedly the best-looking Senior and unanimously the best dancer, Bill is a sure candi- date for a cinema career. For three years he has taken the lead in the musical comedies of his local parish. A keen interest in the problems of others has led Bill to concentrate on a social service course under the able tutelage of his idol, Prof. Harry Doyle, whose classes he never misses. Many a college soiree has been brightened by Bill ' s talented exhibition of the latest dance steps and his smile of friendliness.

From St. Mary ' s in Lynn we have a representative student in the person of Bud Meggison. Although a com- muter, this fact bore no evil effects to speed . Dodging poles, going down one-way streets, terrifying all who rode with him, all this was daily routine with Bud. With his Fur Benny snuggled up closely to his ears and sadly shaved head, he pre- sents a picture of the true collegian. The Devil ' s advocate in philosophy. Bud managed to talk himself out of several tight squeezes; so with this admirable gift of insight Bud can ' t help but being a success in whatever field of endeavor he may select. His personality and his ability to make friends arc his greatest assets. Sodality 1, ' 2, 3, 4; Marquette 1, 2; League of Sacred Heart 1, 2, 3, 4. FREDERICK J. MOLLOY, A.B. 20 Ware St., Cambridge, Mass. Fred ' s main ambition in life is to be as quiet and self-possessed as possible. His years at B. C. have been disturbed by no major catastrophes nor by any incidents of lesser importance. To Fred the essence of virtue is tran- quillity and serenity. He thinks that Shakespeare was a good writer but is outmoded in the world today. To us he is another author. Now after completing his creative writing course, Fred is going to set about and show this Shakespeare fellow how to write. He says that George Bernard Shaw should be shown a thing or three also.

Leo might well be called the Angelic Doctor of the Class of 1939. Anyone who writes perfect Evidence exams is certainly angelic, and as for doctor, — for anyone who knows Leo there is no explanation needed. Although he keeps his keen intellect sheathed in the scabbard of modesty, Leo is well- known throughout the college as a fellow-senior or as the under class- man ' s model. His professional man- ner burnished with graciousness and sincerity will make us long remember him as the man who took everytiiing seriously but himself. Pre-Med.

John enjoys spending his leisure hours up in the Lab. discussing medical topics with his instructors or corner- ing some med. student and plying him with questions. He is studious, but finds time to support college functions and to lead the cheering at the Hockey games. He is president of the club named the Bachelors . The story goes however, that he bears the odd distinction of being a president with- out a club, since the embryonic members found that the requirements for entrance were too strict. When- ever time allows, John is out for whatever sport is in season. He is a sportsman, a student, a gentleman. League of the Sacred Heart 1, 2, 3, 4 Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4; Pre-Med.

Paul is the third in an illustrious Brighton sports family, following in the footsteps of his two brothers, Gerry and Fred, as the captain of the hockey team. For his brilliant per- formance he was termed the best net- minder in New England. He is the Major-Domo for the pleasant eve- nings at Doc Fitzgibbon ' s. One of the most popular students, he was twice chosen to help guide the destinies of the Class. With di- sheveled hair and an open throat, Paul is one of the mainstays of the Poet ' s Corner, holding forth with his inseparable buddies Tim Dacey and Al Hor,sfall.

RICHARD J. MORRIS, A.B. 66 Penfield St., Roslindale, Mass. Dick, the blond lad from Roslindale, is a prominent socialite, and manager of the family fruit business. He is a cocky lad who has disturbed many an umpire in his baseball exploits, where he has proved himself quite a lad at the stick. AVhen college dances are in order, Dick trips along with Billy Vaughan and Jerry Murphy. One of his special pastimes is to argue on any- thing and everything, with all the vehemence of LaGuardia, and with his nervous outbursts. Saturdays Dick attends to the wants of the local customers of Morris and Co., as well as the direction of the store staff. Sodality 1, S, 3, 4; Marcjuette 1, !2; League of Sacred Heart 1, 2, 3, 4. ARTHUR V. MORRISON, A.B. 57 Highland Ave., Somerville, Mass. Art is sort of a puzzle, he is not a confirmed cynic by any means, but he often meanders about alone. His interest is that of book-learning rather than whiling away time in the smoke-filled cafeteria. His dress is conservative and neat yet he loses his conservativeness at the football games. Behind his facade of un- obtrusiveness and simplicity we have unearthed a penchant for the higher things in life. Still water runs deep. So do Art ' s reflections as he looks into the mirror of life. What does he see? He doesn ' t say, but perhaps it might be a picture prophesying the future. League of the Sacred Heart 1. J, 3, 4; Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4; Sociology Academy 2. 3. CHARLES J.

He is a Forester scholarship student, a Civil Service man and has been in honors in all four years. He is a soft-spoken lad with a decided talent in dry quips, which he lets go most any time, whether it be in class or when he sits at the round table with Travers and Weafer. Charlie is undisturbed amidst any commotion, and sustains an attitude of tomorrow is another day . The lad is well registered for the fall social season of proms and what not.

In fact we have only to take a peek at the number of Ed ' s outside activities to see why he has become one of the most popular members of the class, which is only one of the reasons why for three suc- cessive years he was a logical choice for the prom committees. One of the inseparable Marlboro trio, Ed is not only a distinct social socialite but one of the few that can at the same time attain high marks in his studies.

FRANCIS X. MURPHY B.S. {Educ.) 27 Maxwell St., Dorchester, Mass. Every man has a niche to fill but it took considerable probing to find Frank ' s place, since he is so retiring. It would be impossible, perhaps, to find a more lucid example of progres- sion veiled by such lightly worn, but nevertheless shielding, habit of con- servatism. As our acquaintance grew, we realized that this taciturn person, like the silent waters, had a deeper nature than the surface would sug- gest.

With his whiffle and ample avoir- dupois Jerry fulfills Shakespeare ' s ex- pression of the jolly men to have about you. For his generosity has daily intercourse with his fellow students. His ardent enthusiasm in support of all activities in both a social and athletic sense has found him at one time in New York and Pennsylvania; and again in the dif- ferent hotels where our class dances were held.

Founder and chief adherent of his own philosophical system, namely, we hurry to save time, but this time saved we spend recovering the breath we lost hurrying, so why hurry? John was never known to be on time. As chief pilot of the Dorchester Express he invariably arrived at 9:16, but if he was the last to arrive in the morning, he was also the last to de- part at night for he was the presiding genius of the Alumni Office. As a connoisseur of humor, Murph was wont to exchange thrusts with Duni- gan and Turnan, to the delight of the lunchroom brethren.

John is the short, stocky lad from Belmont, whose outside diversion is climbing under an auto, trying to avoid the falling grease while he shines the muffler, or tinkers with the transmission. On the campus John had little to say even when he joined the Poet ' s Corner of the cafeteria. He is rather a serious lad who has a particular interest to plug at the books. Especially after Freshman year, when attractions for the elusive pigskin fell into discard. Dapper John has promoted many a financial enterprise among the willing lads on the Heights .

Brilliant in mind and speech, untiring in energy and ready in wit and humor, Paul is undoubtedly one of the most popular fellows in the class. He has the earnestness of manner that is usually found in the man who is con- cerned with important things.

Paul is not only the Major-Domo of the N.Y.A. Office, where the boys who are working their way through college to get a lot of knowledge collect their governmental stipends, but he is also the Major Bromo of the hockey squad where, in his managerial capacity, he cares for the technical headaches of Coach Kelley. Paul is the favorite aide-de-camp of Captain Bill Flynn. His friendly apprenticeship began at English High, continued at Lawrence Academy, and was climaxed here at the Heights. Paul ' s soft-spoken manner cannot conceal the wealth of talent which exhibits itself athletically, socially, and scholastically.

Intent on gaining a firm foundation as the basis of a pedagogic career, Jocko has given all his efforts to Doc Bowen ' s Historical Novel and the Shakespearean drama. This probably accounts for his lack of interest in informal social bantering. But re- ports from Peabody have it that he is quite a bowler who strikes out for extra-curricular activity without a moment to spare. Offhand he is a meat cutter. The lad says he would rather be a tanner than a brownie — and accordingly spends his sum- mers working in a leather-house. He meditates on Jocko , and asks, What ' s in a name?

Meet the best dressed member of the Senior Class and one of its masters at tripping the light fantastic. George was a versatile mainstay of Snooks Kelly ' s hockey team who could capa- bly fill any position, goalie alone ex- cepted. In the Government Academy George consistently deliberated after the fashion of an English barrister. His cleverly outspoken vindications of Sociologic theories flourished as a result of his reading and field work. But debonair George joins up with Frank Lowry when social functions are in order. He willingly lends a hand to any activity of the class. As a student, as a personality, he is well fitted to begin graduate work as a lawyer.

Bob, though shy, retiring and defi- nitely blond, has done something that perhaps no other Senior has, namely commuting in a rowboat. It was a long time ago — in Freshman as a matter of fact — but the incident cannot be forgotten. It was during the great flood of ' 36 when Bob was missing from class for a few days. He then showed up one day in hip boots with the story uf how lie had to row from his house (on a hill) to the main- land (the city of Lowell) and thence by train to the Heights. With this past experience and his present train- ing in Sociology, Bob is planning a career of flood relief with the Red Cross.

We here present the chief scribe of the Heights whose talents as edi- torial writer and make-up expert have been extolled by all who have read his prolific pennings. Easily recognized t)n the campus by his black Chester- field overcoat and grey fedora, Andy achieved distinction for his ability to pen words and to express sound opinions on weighty matters. Andy is well known for his famous midnight deadline dashes in the dark recesses of the Heights office, when the type- writers were clattering and the copy boys hopping, preparing the latest edition of his pet hobby for the presses.

Ed is a member of a very musical family, who has engaged in a bit of extra-curricular musical activity to further himself in the support of his studies. He has been very promi- nent in the gatherings held at Dr. Fitzgibbon ' s home. In fact he is so much interested in sociology that he hopes to do graduate work in social service, even subordinating his first love — music — to the role of an avo- cation. Ed carries his arguments on philosophy to the lunchroom where he has sounded a new note in the informal discussions of school matter. Ed breaks out with the rest of us for class socials.

For four years, O ' Bie has performed tricks with a ' 31 Ford that even the great Lucky Teeter would envy. He took keen delight in participating in all sports, but favored the manly art of self-defense. He soon became one of the many avid track followers at Suffolk Downs. Blessed with a self- confidence in all that he does, John met his only Waterloo on a dance floor. When he entered the social whirl during Junior Week, Jack weakened, a victim to soft lights and music, and enjoyed himself to the full. Naturally reticent, he revealed his true side only to his more intimate friends. Sodality 1. ' i, 3, 4; German Academy ' 2; Golf 1; Communion Breakfast Committee 3; Dance Committee 2. JOHN J.

Obie is well known locally for his efforts to coach the young lads in basketball. As a charter member of the Poet ' s Corner, Jack has often deliberated on his now famous topic the machine is against us .

[ 144 ] PAUL A. O ' BRIEN, B.S. (Biol.) 1656 No. Shore Rd., Revere, Mass. Paul is a Pre-Med. student whose scientific temperament has found di- version in the Glee Club concerts where he held forth for three years, scarcely letting anyone know he was there. But the Med. course has enough work to absorb the energy of any willing aspirant. Chemistry has held a particular interest for the lad, to such an extent that he was a devoted member of that subject ' s academy. His sartorial tastes lean to striped shirts and matching ties. The Pre-Med. Seminar gave Paul an opportunity to deliberate on various aspects of the biological questions not considered in class where he injected a bit of philosophy.

Will is so retiring that only a very few of us have had opportunity to make his friendship. However, every- one recognizes him as a very superior scholar, one of the neatest dressers in the College, and as one of those un- usual people who prefer to listen rather than to lecture. He intends to be a teacher and he will most certainly stand as a living example of what a well-rounded personality ought to include. He is one of the few to whom we can easily imagine the Dean pointing as representative of the true Boston College man. Norwood, his home town, has every reason to be proud of this son.

Almost every year the shoe center has an outstanding student in the gradu- ating class. Last year it was the Editor of the Stylus ; this year we have John. He is a pleasant speaker and a clever thinker, having been ap- pointed to one of the Sodality Lecture Teams. His words have a bit of the Yankee twang to them, and on re- quest he renders very realistic imita- tions of a certain Prof, by adding a nasal touch. Though his main in- terest lies chiefly in Economics, he talks learnedly on Freud. On the side, John likes to take interesting and comical camera shots and then rush home to develop the film. Some of these really have the professional touch. League of the Sacred Heart 1, ' i. 3, -i; Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4; Lecture Team 3, 4; Marquette 1, 2; Cross and Crown 4. RAYMOND G. O ' DONNELL A.B. 28 George St., Attleboro, Mass. The long jaunt from Attleboro, by boat, train and bus has never daunted Mrs. O ' DonnelFs boy, Ray. He even has time to promote the activity of the Law and Government Academy to a place of note among the students. The lad appears very serious until he gets off one of his subtle quips that have, on many occasions, started a young revolution in the cafeteria or Prof. Harry Doyle ' s Government classes. He is a very avid sports follower who loyally supports the baseball, football and hockey teams in turn. Ray has set quite a standard for brother Vin, who is following right after him, to emulate. Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4; Law and Government Academy 3, 4. [146] VINCENT A. ODONNELL, A.B. 28 George St., Attleboro, Mass. Friendliness with all it connotes, ambition with all it stands for, and the ability to actuate these yearned- for dreams, what more can be ex- pected of any man? Vin possesses these qualifications for success, and if the good-fellowship of his class- mates, the esteem of the faculty, and already the partial fulfillment of his medical career mean anything, then we might say these are but heralds of greater glory to come, when he will contribute his brilliance to the igno- rance dispelling beam of knowledge.

He has never been known to say the wrong thing at the right time. In fact he would rather avoid answering any question; a perfect candidate for F.D.R. ' s diplo- matic corps. But underlying this penchant for quiet and solitude is a tendency towards his lifetime am- bition, if his longing look across the street or his position as head altar boy at the Cathedral is any criterion. Dan displayed a great propensity for the classics and the Romance languages. In fact he spoke so well that he was chosen for the lead in Hernani by the director. Professor Andre Beau- vivier.

The rare gift of being able to win and hold friends easily is one of his outstanding traits. Frank is also a conscientious and able student in whom are combined the qualities of scholarliness and friend- liness. His friends, and all who are acquainted with him may be so termed, recognize his loyalty and worth. Frank is a consistent member of the vanguard of social aspirants during the season of soirees and a faithful supporter of the collegiate sport functions the year round.

If you want to find Charlie look for some form of oratorical activity whether it be in the cafeteria or on the Fulton rostrum. In high school he was an outstanding member of the Catholic League Debating Teams and here at the Heights he has continued his public speaking in the Fulton as well as the Sodality Lecture Teams. Usually quiet, Charlie is willing to express his opinions on any subject, at length or in brief, as suits the time of his listeners. His further interest is expended in community affairs in which he is an eager participant.

It was not until John paired up with his pal, Ed Cameron, that he showed Father Eberle ' s creative writers what a circulation manager of a Boston Daily can do with his pen. For a good short story or a one-act play see Mr. O ' Toole, the pride of the Dorchester newsies. From Freshman to Senior, John has maintained a better than average scholastic record, but always finds time to support the social ac- tivities of the College with a loyalty and good nature now famous. Con- centrating in the field of English with a taste of Greek culture on the side, John is preparing for a career in journalism and we expect to hear from him when he gets his wish.

C, but few so dapper and debonair as Joe. He is Esquire personified. With his deep bass voice, he has often impersonated Singing Sam of radio fame. Quiet and aloof, a hard fellow to meet, he has received the approba- tion of the few who know him well. An injury in his first year cut short a promising baseball career, but as he says, he didn ' t come to college to play ball. He has been a cornerstone of the Heights office and part of the brain behind it. Joe intends to continue next year at Tufts in pursuit of his M.D. ' Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4; Italian Academy 1, 4; Fencing 4; Rifle Team 1; Pre-Med. Seminar 4; Chemistry Academy 3, 4; Riding Club 4. [149] THOMAS R. PALOMBO B.S. (Educ.) 11 Hanson Ave., Somerville, Mass. Somerville has many greats in base- ball and now they can add another to their list. When the lads elected Tom the captain of the team they chose an experienced ball player with a real, talented interest in the diamond sport. He has played for Somerville High and also for semi-pro. teams, especially in the Cape league. Tom really loves the sport and frequently coaches sand-lot teams in the home town in his spare moments. While at St. John ' s prep. Tom made Ripley ' s column when he connected for seven out of seven at the bat in one of the prep, games. In class he is a cjuiet fellow who is hardly ever heard from except through the exam, sheets.

Because of his short, stocky physique and Italian lineage, Joe was chosen the twentieth century model of the Latin bard Horace by an over- enthusiastic Freshman Latin professor. Such a compliment had absolutely no effect on his classmates who promptly nicknamed him Mike. W ith his side- kick, Jim Martin, he caused many an uproar in the chem. lab. by his spon- taneous bursts of humor. This was the same brand of humor which made Joe the life of the party at reunions of Section H. Fall will find him busy with the scalpel in the laboratories of Tufts Medical.

Man, the Unknown who has yielded to no attraction of outside activities, but would rather hold to class work and lecture notes seems to typify Jim. Debonair, and touched with the brush of indifference, he prefers to listen to the lunchroom orators rather than deliberate himself. When exams have the boys in a week ' s beard and strained eyes, Jim still meanders about, neatly attired, with the look of a student with the situation well in hand. He never talked of himself, or found fault, or offered the usual student solution to all difficulties. AVith graduation behind him Jim hopes to exert a directing influence on the minds of other students. League of the Sacred Heart 1, ' 2, 3, 4; Sodality 3, 4. WILLIAM J. PATTEN, B.S. (Chem.) 86 Clark Ave., Chelsea, Mass. Bill is a Chelsea lad who high-schooled at Mission in Roxbury. He achieved a lasting record in baseball, playing on the Mission great teams with Tom Early and Mel Reed. Bill was elected All-Catholic first baseman in 1935. He came direct to B. C. the next fall and joined the B.S. in Chemistry course. This course with its long laboratory requirements resulted in a curtailment of Billy ' s athletics. One of the smart 9 boys that survived the four years of chemical analysis from the field of 23, he is headed for commercial chemistry. He is a bit on the short side, neatly dressed, with perpetually shined shoes and white shirts. Sodality 3, 4; Chemistry Academy 3, 4; Baseball 1, ' 2; Junior Communion Break- fast Committee. [151] JOHN A. PETKUS, A.B. 14 Condon St., Brockton, Mass. In from Brockton, one of our more firmly established leather centers, John comes trouping every day with his happy-go-lucky attitude. Even with the sobering diet of weighty Science courses John holds a secret hobby for bright ties and a well- known interest in weekend flings in the ballrooms from Norwood to Montello. He is a soft-spoken lad with the easy manner of making friends rapidly, perhaps due to his bubbling laughter which responds to anyone ' s jokes. Although John lives far enough away to consider himself commuting from another state he has been active in a number of organizations. Sodality 1. 2, 3, 4; Philosophy Academy 4; Pre-Med.

John ' s languid exterior belies a vitalic personality that finds expression in a droll wit and a passion for tripping in the latest ballroom manner. He served as Bill McCarthy ' s good man Friday and his constant attendance was faithful, be it the lunchroom, football games or the latest Prom. Crowned with a thatch of red locks, serving as a halo for his contagious grin, his controversial range was wide, as can be seen by his activities, which ranged from Editing a magazine a la frangaise to batting out a sports column and sandwiching in a bit of Thespian activity in the Playshop.

PHELAN A.B. (Honors) 5 No. Parish Rd., Lawrence, Mass. Ever since the Sophomore Prom when he proudly escorted a delegate from France, Ed has deplored his slight knowledge of colloquial French. Such an evident lack of forethought, how- ever, extended to none of Ed ' s other activities, for he was a shining light of the honors section for four years, to say nothing of the reputation he earned as a lecturer and purveyor of dry wit at the Philosophy Academy. After working for the B. and M. for one summer Ed came home with a barrel of information on railroads and proceeded to write his thesis on that topic.

Normie found the study of accounting a fine supplement to keeping a box score with which he is, of course, very familiar. Normie was one of the team ' s mainstays at shortstop for three years of varsity competition. Coming from Whitman High where he was a leader in scholastic endeavors as well as sports he still kept the midnight oil burning here at the Heights, and his marks stand as testimony to his effort. It is less well known that basketball is also num- bered among his accomplishments. Modesty about his personal accom- plishments was the element which made his personality a winning one.

Boston, Ma.ss. A Boston Latin School scholar, a fine tenor voice, a versatile track man and the pride of South Boston, this is our boy, John. With a smile and a good word for all, he has won the admiration of both faculty and student body here at the Heights. His booming voice has frequently been heard down in the shower room vocalizing with Spike Cronin or Bill Gilligan. He loaned this capable voice to the Glee Club and his wiry legs to Jack Ryder ' s mile relay team with equal success. This is the quarter-miler who cut inside to the pole of the Madison Square Garden track after taking the baton from Charlie Green and gave B. C. victory over Holy Cross.

Some people never seem to quench the thirst of love for knowledge and Bob typifies this intellectual class at its best. He has somehow managed to attend law school since his Sopho- more year. Bob explains this by saying he just felt the need of a little legal knowledge; accordingly he went ahead to obtain it. Shying away from the time-eating lunchroom Bob sought the more austere places of intellectual development. His love for Romance Languages found ex- pression in the Italian Academy, where his softlylisped accents smacked of genuineness. His maxim was to pursue things that promised future benefit.

During his four years within our portals, Joe has raised the economic value of the cafeteria by gracing its atmosphere with a huge cigar. His vocation is to be a future Dick Tracy and he prepares for it by ever dis- guising his jovial countenance with anywhere from two days ' to two weeks ' beard. His executive ability showed its head in his concerns with the Junior Pic and the Circle Club of Jamaica Plain. Joe ' s knack of making everyone smile has rendered him a popular seat at our gatherings and which will eventually be the herald of his pleasing ac- quaintance.

The grocery business, the Pre-Med. course, and the instability of Joe McGrath ' s car kept Ed outside the current of college activities until his Senior year. He seemed like a tall dark, handsome and bashful boy, until he showed up with the candi- dates for the boxing team and then blossomed out with white tie and tails. He also held a union card in News- paper Row in the Senior Philosophy class. His interests were serious, including the Sodality and the Chem- istry class, and the Boston College Club of Maiden, Medford, and Mel- rose found him willing to work and slow to criticize.

A Pre-Med. student who really looks the part, Phil intends to continue at Georgetown University. Tall and well dressed, he makes a fine appear- ance. In fact he has been appearing at all the Weston social functions since the town stopped ringing the curfew. With John Flynn he spends his summers lobster fishing at Scituate. He is quite a cartoonist. An appendectomy in the middle of Senior failed to slow him up. A force- ful if not logical debater, Phil has joined the Poet ' s Corner for dis- cussions on all or any heterogeneous subjects. Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4; German Academy 2, 4; Pre-Med.

Mention of Tom brings to mind, immediately, the new and improved Stylus that has caused so much discussion. Cover pictures and subtle humor are Tom ' s major contributions to the magazine. Many of his nights are spent in the employ of Uncle Sam, but yet when a prom is in order he can be seen attired in his tails and badly battered top hat, ready for the evening ' s frivolity. Junior Philosophy classes were often thrown into an almost uproar by his quizzing of the prof, on some point. Tom holds the unique distinction as the Height ' s only consistent cyclist and daily he whisks into the campus, garbed in his goggles and windbreaker.

Freshman year seemed to hold little interest in the way of extra-curricular activities for Bill, but with the advent of Sopho- more he yielded to the diversional development of the Academies. Since then Bill has increased his activities in every way possible, as a debater, historian, French scholar and what not. He has no flair for flashy bow ties, or checkered suits, but when a subject is discussed, Bill throws oft ' quickly expressed opinions with a smile. League of the Sacred Heart 1.

ROBERT H.

Bob Ramsey was missing. No sporting event of such a nature would be genuine unless our disciple of Izaac Walton, Daniel Boone, and Nimrod were there. Bringing this genuine interest in sports to the classroom, Bob dis- played an analytic mind that kept him at the top of the Psych quiz class. When better friends are invented, we are sure that many of Bob ' s charac- teristics will be copied.

Al is one of those lads who minds his own affairs and doesn ' t mix in with the lunchroom society, and as a result isn ' t as well known as some of our leading glamour boys. Be this as it may Al is noted for the neatness and dispatch with which he goes about all his tasks. We have often wondered about Al ' s freedom from worry and strain, nothing seems to bother him, and we can ' t conceive a flustered Mr. Redmond any more than we can conceive the good old squared circle so cherished as a Philosophy example.

Joe is the Brockton lad who ' treks all the way from the shoe city in an over- loaded beach wagon. He is more than an ordinary jitterbug who attends the soirees of the college consistently. It has always been a wonder how Joe combined two courses in Economics with one in Italian for electives. Yet the lad smiles through it all and answers all queries with a touch of Irish wit. About the campus Joe is always mixed up in some practical prank of hot-footing or such. His left hook figured potently in his exhibitions with the boxing team.

When the walls echo Pete , look for the short, stocky, stature with a smil- ing face. Pete is the lad from Quincy with all the vitality and good cheer of a diplomat. His presence at the board of directors ' meeting of the Quincy B. C. Club is always a signal for action. It is undoubtedly due to his spirited influence that the under- graduates of the Club have had such a pleasant year. However, this same happy disposition is not restricted to Quincy but is ever the lighter touch of a cafeteria conversation. Pete expects to take over the local granite industry and make a thriving business of it once more. League of the Sacred Heart 1, ' 2, .

Coming from Taunton, where his name resides in the gridders ' hall of fame, Alderic showed his prowess at the Heights in many a Dobie Saturday afternoon review and added to the already great glory of Maroon and Gold backfields. A serious and conscientious student, Al has a characteristic determination to finish whatever he starts in spite of the long hours of work necessary for its completion. Much more to his credit, Al ' s marks never sufFered from the long hours of practice. Football 1, 2, 3, 4; League of the Sacred Heart 1, 2, 3, 4; Sodality 1, 2, 4; Sociology Academy 2, 3. JOHN J.

As a charter member, his blond curly head is easily discernible among the group gathered in the Poet ' s Corner. A close companion of the athletes, Buddy revealed his own athletic prowess on the golf links. He found in the Southern trip of the golf team, a means of fulfilling the desire for travel. Often, he may be found defending the merits of the golf team against all hecklers. He tells many tales of summer work with Herb Mallard.

ROONEY, A.B. 42 Pierce Ave., Dorchester, Mass. When the lads reminisce on the better Thespians of the College, Ed will always ' ' be recalled among the first. From Freshman even to Senior he has graced the stage as a most versatile dramatist, especially in A ellow Jack and Timon of Athens and crowned as a master in Second Spring when he played Cardinal Manning. Cap- tain Ed of the rifle team developed into a formidable foil of the fencing team and probably did more than any- one else to raise this club to a place of recognition at the Heights. On off moments Ed looks at the world through a candid camera or disturbs the philosophers with a Rooney difficulty.

Slow to wax enthusiastic about an event, once Herb was thoroughly convinced of its worth, it received his steady, loyal and helpful support. His sturdiness of character won him many friends, and one who appreciated this quality in him most was his constant companion, Joe Hammond. Herb ' s favored season extended from the start of spring practice to the World Series, during which time he exercised his prodigious knowledge of baseball.

Haverhill St., Lawrence, Mass. Italy has produced many mighty men, most of whom have been short in stature. Dominic follows tradition and makes up for his lack of height with the size of his heart. It is difficult enough for anyone to study medical texts written in his native language, but when a man succeeds in completing a Pre-Medical course in a foreign language he is deserving of highest praise. Dominic, however, never boasts, for he considers it as an everyday occurrence. This determi- nation is quite characteristic of him, and has won for him the admiration of his classmates and professors. Pre-Med.

Woburn gave politics its Mayor Kane and Boston College its Dan Ryan. The strong man of the Heights, Dan hoped wrestling would be recognized at the college. Frustrated in this hope, he acted as a sparring partner for Tom McDavitt on many oc- casions. One of the strongest men in the school, he added to this the usual quality of reticence Inclined to view life in a semi-humorous manner, Dan frequently vent an imaginary wrath upon the Biology Lab. specimens. Not widely known, Dan held his circle of friends spellbound with witty comments on the everyday occur- rences of life. Sodality of the Sacred Heart 1, i, 3, 4; Boxing, 4; Sociology Academy 4. JOHN J.

Another way of portraying this tall, lithe, future physician would be to ask someone to define Gentleman . The definition would provide one with the genus which includes Joe ' s genius, then combine with that his perpetual bed- side manner, as the specific difTerence and our scholastically derived con- clusion would be a medical gentleman, the Doctor Ryan, a Knight in the army of Life, armed with a scalpel as a sword, and gauntlets of rubber, and a cuirass of white truth to protect his stout heart.

The lad is a rather modest, sincere type of student who is hard- working and serious about his studies. There is about him the air of one who knows what he desires to do and is proceeding to do it in an efficient but never blatant manner. In his own quiet way Joe has made many friends who know how to appreciate the many good qualities which he pos- sesses. Though reserved and a bit distant, his worth is evident to all who know him.

Paul is a Frenchman with an Irish name that caused Prof. Provost no end of brow-knitting in Freshman. He is a fluent, French speaking aes- thetic who was often the solace of good poetry for the Stylus . Lunch periods Paul spent in the hallowed sanctum of swami Quinn, browsing over Hugho ' s Hernani while he munched on a sandwich. His dra- matic ventures in the Greek play and his productions of the French Academy have caused some to wonder whether Paul knows what nationality to be satisfied with.

Once in the entourage of Borah Minevitch and his harmonica rascals, Lou has since given up the travelling band wagon to finish his college career. Yet he has in the meantime formed his own band which has been featured by many a B. C. dance. Good-looking, well-dressed, and well-liked, Lou is a spoke in the lunchroom wheel of good-fellowship.

His summer work at the Ocean House in Swampscott gave him a bird ' s-eye view of the social trends which he divulged as advice to the socially ambitious or as comfort to the forlorn. A brilliant speech on the social physi- ognomy of Lidia, given before the Sociology class, brought Joe much attention which disturbed his other- wise calm composure. But his success was echoed in Economics. Joe ' s firmly founded opinion on his favorite subjects could not be shaken even by the frequent dissertations of his friend, Al Fiore.

Pursuing his studies with a purposeful intent, Connie still finds time to enjoy the drolleries and homespun philosophy of the cafeteria sippers. His own views, expressed on matters, were the result of deep thought. He showed no partiality to sports but gave his whole-hearted support to all.

Scottie is also one of our leading social lights, and never misses a dance or any other social function.

No time-waster was Frank, for this future medico found himself busily occupied tracking down formulae and test tubes. Spending more time in a lab. coat than Jonesy does in a sweat- shirt, Frank pursued his course in a serious manner. His quiet demeanor gives promise of correct bedside manners. Despite the rigors of the Pre-Med. curriculum, he found time to fully enjoy sports of all sorts; in addition he expended valuable energy in producing the Crystal ' .

Being one of the real comedians in our class, his fre- quent escapades and pranks were consistent with his wit. Jim ' s lack of weight prevented his rise to foot- ball success, but he became a good student. His friendship with Herb Mallard is one of the highlights in our class, and these two pranksters are seldome found separated, whether in school or attending a B. C. social function.

Having chosen chemistry as the field for his concentration, he has merited for himself a place of honor among our chemists.

Bob has made a thorough study into the foundations of society and is now considered an authority on some phases of this subject. His cheery side was shown in quips to the Dedham boys while searching for a ride to Dedham. Studious during his college career, he will certainly profit from college training by attaining his coveted community leadership. Sodality L ' 2, 3. 4; Baseball 1; Sociology Academy 3. 4. SIGMUND P. SOMY, A.B. 19 Fulton Spring Rd., Medl ' ord, Mass. Sig is far more valuable than a classified ad in the New Yorker , which is his Vade Mecum, and his pride and joy. From typewriters to song books, from magazines to shark- skin drapes, you will go a long way before finding a salesman like Sig. Plying back and forth from Oak Square each day in the congenial company of Registrar Campbell, Sig was able to disclose his views on the art of selling to an appreciative audience.

Larry maintains that he has never read Dale Carnegie ' s book, How To Win Friends and Influence People , but to talk with him one would soon be convinced that Larry wrote the book. He has all the requisites for such a role, namely a pleasant dis- position, an irium smile, and the knack of knowing what to say and when to say it. During Junior and Senior, Larry provided the best taxi service up from the South Shore, of course at a fancy stipend, but when depreciation costs began to eat up profits the service was discontinued. When the class runs a time Larry is among the first to purchase a ticket. League of the Sacred Heart 1. ' 2. S. i. Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1. 2. FRANK A. STRACCIA, B.S. (Biol.) 1 Lincoln St., Everett, Mass. For four years he has acted as Dominic Rossi ' s confederate. He has tested all razor blades and found them wanting, for he has adopted the distinction of possessing the heaviest beard in the College. He formerly bucked the line for Everett High, but at Boston College he confined his activities to boxing. His sincere interest in the Pre-Med. course was made evident when he personally constructed an apparatus for the lab. A further manifestation of his versa- tility reveals itself in his summer occupation; he started to acquire the surgeon ' s touch with a mechanic ' s kit in a bus repair shop. Pre-Med.

It is to be regretted that the ac- companying facsimile could not be sufficiently enlarged to become the picture of Art as we most familiarly know him, for Art is one of the largest and most outstanding figures of the class. He is on the corpulent side of things, and as is the case of most stout people Art possesses a contagious laugh, never obstreperous but quite sporadic. As a student he has found success, and has always evidenced a great interest in the sciences. If perseverance, courage and good nature are of any worth in determin- ing success then Sully need have no worries.

Ernie displayed his initial thirst for education when he made his first trip from Lowell. He came among us as a stranger but soon he had made friends from all sides. He has the perfect disposition and one finds it most difficult to get into an argument with him. He advocates Dale Carnegie ' s theory and works it out with true sincerity. Ernie ' s interest outside of class, rests in the publication of a newspaper in Lowell. In class he tends strictly to business and there- fore finds no trouble in keeping the colors flying. He is a true gentleman, a real student and a loyal Boston College man. League of the Sacred Heart 1, ' i, 3, 4; Sodality 1, 2, -3, 4; Sociology Academy 3, 4; Prom Committee 3. JOHN L. SULLIVAN, B.S.

Sullivan ' s full name was bandied about with considerable familiarity by all. It goes without saying that during this time John looked forward to the day when Aloysius would become Al and Augustine, just Gus, so that he could assume the prosaic Larry. Larry will be remembered as a promising high jumper whose avoirdupois caught up with him. Always convivial, he was for four years a member in good standing of T.R.S.

In every class there are those who prefer to carry on in the background while others rival for the headlines, and so we have Tom. He often mulled over Philosophy and social problems in the rotunda while he wondered what the next class was. Yet over the week-end Tom made the rounds with Huck Henneberry and the Cambridge lads who never missed a school dance. During Senior he helped rush matters along for an early publication of the Heights . Harry Doyle ' s Law and Government Academy was his stamping ground on Wednesday afternoons.

Coming from Poughkeepsie, a total stranger to his classmates, Frank ' s ever-ready smile won a lasting place in the hearts of his fellow students. Refraining from athletics in which he was adept as a high school student, Frank devoted his natural talents to the pursuit of that knowledge neces- sary for teaching. Working summers in New York to defray his college expenses he acquired a ready wit. His pleasant demeanor has won him many friends on Lake Street where he lived during his college course, and we hope his desire to live in Boston and teach will be realized.

High Joe was a diamond warrior, and even at the Heights he has been quite a lad with the stick. Yet Joe is a quiet fellow with a real zest for the books. He never seems to mind the anticipa- tion of exams, but always has an expression of calm assurance.

He has spent many hours toiling in the library, getting books for others. He has confined himself among the bookracks so long that every time he speaks we expect to hear catalog numbers come forth. As a criminologist, Allan zealously applied his talents to the knowledge of tracking down the criminal.

THOMAS J. TRAVERS A.B. {Honors) 101 Sycamore St., Roslindale, Mass. It is surprising to find a fellow, who works as hard as Tom does, on the Dean ' s List, yet he does it con- sistently, too. Much of this ability to work is explained by his earlier training at Latin School. At night he is found working down at the South Postal, as a clerk. It is small wonder then that he has a hard time making the first class every morning. For a bit of recreation Tom, who is a good dancer, likes nothing better than to dance to a good band. He is also greatly interested in sports, particu- larly in baseball. League of the Sacred Heart 1, ' 2, 3, 4; Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4; Von Pastor 1 ; Marquette 1, 2; Cross and Crown 4. [174] JEROME P.

His affable disposition has drawn for him the nickname Smiler and his fre- quent questions in Philosophy and Biology more than evince his desire for the knowledge of life.

Dashing and debonair, always ready with a pungent witticism, he is a connoisseur of humor as of most everything else. In his professional manner he swag- gers along with his Sherlock Holmes ' pipe. Rumor has it that his presence can even brighten up a quiz class, — what greater tribute could be paid any man?

He strides through the corridors and through his Pre-Medical studies with startling rapidity, and an air of non- chalance which surprises the casual observer. This equanimity of spirit is, perhaps, effected both by his ready laugh which fills the depths of gloom and levels out his path to fame, and by the common sense which lowers the mountains of vain dreams and keeps him always in reality.

With his usual antipathy for procras- tination, Dobie immediately put the players to work, dividing the lads into teams and allowing them to work out the kinks of summer vacation by running through plays. An indication that the Eagles will be well equipped with an aerial attack this fall was given when Dobie, instead of emphasizing running plays as was his custom the last two years, commanded the squad to try some of the pass plays it learned in spring prac- tice. One of Dobie ' s chief difficulties this fall will be to pull the squad out of the dold- rums of the disastrous 1937 season, but the spirit manifested today pointed to ready success in this respect. Perhaps, the chief reason why the squad showed so much spirit in today ' s initial workout was the realization by the players that every position this season is practically a wide-open battle. A promis- ing group of sophomores will push the abundant veteran material for starting berths. Although he mingled the sophomores generously with the veterans, Dobie yes- terday could have fielded almost two complete veteran outfits. Such experi- enced backs were on hand as Fella Gin- toff, Al Horsfall, Andy Bismark, Pete Cignetti, and Ira Jivelekian. Veteran linemen included llalj)h Worth, Leo Logue, Ernie Schwotzer, Bill Holland, Frank Connelly, John Connolly, John Murray, Andy Lentini, Lou Kidhardt, Dan McFadden, and Capt. Bill Flynn. In au interview after the first workout, Dobie, with his usual reticence for mak- ing optimistic predictions, stated that the squad was better equipped physically than his last two Eagle outfits and that it had apparently adopted the proper atti- tude concerning the road to a successful season. The only way you can get anywhere in modern football is by hard work, he said. It ' s all right to talk about razzle- dazzle attacks, but you have to build all attacks from a strong running game. Games aren ' t won entirely on the field of play. It ' s the work that ' s done before- hand on the practice field that really counts. Detroit and Temple, the third and fourth games on the schedule, are what is most on Dobie ' s mind as he plots the course of practice for the next few weeks. These games are expected to make or break the Eagles this season. ®I][ quati Thomas Ahern Arthur Allen ViTo Ananis Roger Battles Andrew B ism ark James Byrne Peter Cignetti Frank Coady Frank Connelly John Connolly Edward Cowhig Richard Cummings Arthur Dray Walter Dubzinski James Fitzgerald William Fly ' nn Thomas Gallagher William George Fella Gintoff Chester Gladchuck Gene Goodreault William Griffin Richard Harrison William Holland Albert Horsfall Ira Jivelekian George Kerr Louis Kidhardt William Lepeisha Andrew Lentini Leo Logue David Lucey Alex Lukachik ' harles McCarthy Daniel McFadden Thomas Mahon Herbert Mallard Joseph Manzo Brad Martin Lou Montgomery Paul Moore John Murray Francis O ' Brien Paul O ' Neal Charles O ' Rourke Thomas Powers Leo Reardon Aldrich Richards George Ryan Ernest Schwortzer James Siieehan Edward Savenson Henry Toczylowski Edward Twiss David Walsh David White Ralph Worth John Yauchoes Joseph Zabilski w Bm B. C. Wins 63-12 Alumni Field, Chestnut Hill, Sept. 24 — Boston College ' s admittedly powerful running attack was linked to a neatly timed aerial barrage as the Eagles gained 295 yards on the ground, and 122 yards through the air to open their season with a stunning 63-12 victory over Canisius here today. Ed Cowhig, hard-running sophomore, had the honor of scoring the first touch- down of the season when he pounded four yards into the end zone off his own left tackle after seven minutes of play. Four more touchdowns came in the second period — a five yard pass from Ira Jivelekian to Bill Flynn, a 69-yard romp by Jivelekian, a three-yard buck by Pete Cignetti, and a 15-yard pass from Jivele- kian to Vito Ananis. Other Eagle touch- downs were scored by FeUa Gintoff, Ed Swenson, Dave Lucey and Art Allan, the latter on a pass from O ' Rourke. Canisius was forced to take a safety early in the final period. Outstanding men on the field were Jivelekian, who spear-headed the Eagle attack with his passing and running; Ernie Schwotzer, who was a bulwark in the middle of the line ; and Pete Cignetti, hard-hitting fullback. Huskies Beaten Alumni Field, Chestnut Hill, Sept. 30 — Boston College got its first taste of night football here tonight and, except for two sudden scores by Vito Ananis which pulled the Eagles through to a 13-0 victory, the taste experience was hardly favorable. Although the Eagles ground out 206 yards with their running attack, the scores had to be supplied by a 39-yard pass from Ira Jivelekian to Ananis after twelve minutes of the first period and, after an equal length of time in the second period, by the moth-eaten statue of lib- erty play which consumed the final nine yards of a 69-yard march. Arnie Kaufman and Jim Connolly were chiefly responsible for the staunch North- eastern defense, which was unorthodoxly over-shifted a man and a half in the suc- cessful effort to check as much as possible the high-powered Eagle scoring machine. Northeastern ' s only scoring threat was stopped within five yards of the Eagle goal-line late in the first half. The game once again established Jive- lekian as the number one triple threat of the squad and Coach Dobie is expected to depend a great deal on him in the Eagles ' first big game of the season against Detroit, Columbus Day. Gintoff ' s Field Goal Tops Detroit, 9-6 Boots Goal as Game Ends Climaxes Late Come Back Fenway Park, Boston, Oct. 12 — Fella Gintoff enscrolled his name on the list of immortal Boston College football heroes by place-kicking a 15-yard field goal in the last split-second of play to give the undefeated and untied Eagles a 9-6 victory over Detroit here this after- noon in the most stirring and emotionally exhausting finish in Boston College foot- ball history. It was a finish, the likes of which nei- ther Gil Dobie nor Coach Gus Dorais of the Titans could recall, and was preceded by a slow first half which saw Detroit slip into the lead on a long pass from Ed Palombo to Johnny Halpin and a subse- quent 12-yard spin through the middle of the line by Palombo. It was not until mid-way through the final period that the Eagles started their first successful scoring drive that fea- tured nine pile-driving spins through the center of the line by big Pete Cignetti, and when Peter finally spun the last 10 yards for the tying touchdown, the fans who were making for the exits returned to their seats. Gintoff was placed on the spot for the first time in the game when he was rushed on to the field to try for the extra point. and he nominated himself for goat of the game by booting it into a wall of enemy linemen. But then, with three minutes to play and the ball on Boston College ' s SS-yard line, a series of plays was begun which will never be forgotten by those who wit- nessed them. It was fourth down, but from kick-formation Gintoff flipped a short pass over the middle of the line to Vito Ananis, who carried through the sur- prised Detroit secondary all the way to the enemy 32. AVith the seconds fleeting by, again Gintoff passed, this time to Dick Harrison, who soared into the air between two Titan defenders and landed with the ball on the 15. There was a minute to play when Gin- toff, calling signals, decided the next two plays. Ananis carried on an end run that gained no ground but placed the ball squarely between the goal posts. The team snapped into huddle out of mere formality; snapped back into position. Thirty-five seconds to play. The line tensed. Worth flipped the ball back to Ananis, who placed it on the ground. Gintoff stepped forward, and as his toe sent the pigskin on a buUseye shot be- tween the posts, the final gun sounded. Owls Tie, 26-26 Temple Stadium, Philadelphia, Oct. 21 — After 60 minutes of the wildest foot- ball seen in this city in years, Boston Col- lege ' s rampaging Eagles were forced to accept a 26-26 tie with Temple here to- night. The last Owl touchdown was scored with 90 seconds to play on a 52- yard pass from Clem Stevens to Jim Powers. Temple started the scoring spree on the first play of the second period, climaxing a 77-yard march by sending Allen Nichols into the end zone on a spinner. Fella flipped a 33-yard pass to Dick Harrison and a 10-yard floater to White. Temple came back in the second half to conclude a 70-yard march by sending George Honochicfc into the end zone on a plunge, and the added extra point tied the score at 13-13. Boston College came back on the next kick-off to march 78 yards for another score. Charlie ORourke tossed an 18-yard pass to Ananis for the touchdown. Horsfall kicked the point. The Owls then marched 63 yards for another touchdown, but missed the point-after, and Eagles led 20 to 19. With three minutes to play, Horsfall ran a punt back to the one-foot line and Joe Zabilski plunged for the score making it 26 to 19, but Temple came back to take the joy from the Eagles ' hearts on that long pass from Stevens to Powers. Gators Swamped Fenway Park, Boston, Oct. 29 — Chuckin ' Charley O ' Rourke, the little halfback with the slingshot right arm, sparked undefeated Boston College to a 33-0 victory over a University of Florida eleven that kept the Eagles from scoring in the first half but then watched its second half defenses crumble under an effective air attack. The game was by no means as one- sided as the score would indicate, for 20 of the Eagles ' points were scored in the last seven minutes of play. O ' Rourke was not inserted until the last two plays of the first half, but he started the second half and flipped passes for the first two touchdowns before he was withdrawn from the fray. In the middle of the third period he started the scoring with a short pass to Dick Har- rison and at the start of the fourth period he set off a mighty 42-yard air bomb. With seven minutes to play, center Ralph Worth intercepted a ' Gator pass and ran 35 yards for a touchdown. A few plays later. Fella Gintoff whipped a 42-yard aerial to Al Horsfall, who was downed on the eight, and then Fella threw a scoring pass to sophomore Alex Lukachik. With only five seconds to play, Joe Zabilski intercepted another ' Gator pass and ran 45 yards for the final touch- down. B. C. Beats Indiana, 14-0; O ' Rourke Stars 73-yard Drive Scores Cowhig Snares Loose Pass Fenway Park, Boston, Nov. 5 — Charlie O ' Rourke, the slim, little sopho- more sensation, once again assumed the role of flight commander of the unde- feated Boston College Eagles by running and passing them to a second-period touchdown, the highlight of their 14-0 victory over Indiana here today. A crowd of nearly 30,000 attracted by the fact that Boston College was playing its first Big Ten opponent in recent years and by the presence of the far-famed Indiana band of over 170 pieces, watched Boston College play a strictly defensive game until that second period touch- down march. Twice Indiana threatened to score be- fore the Eagle attack broke loose. The first time the Maroon and Gold line stopped the rolling Hoosier machine on the one-yard line. The second time Gene Goodreault broke through to spill the Hoosier ball-carrier for an eight-yard loss on the 23. It was this play that set up the Eagle scoring drive, for it was fourth down and Indiana elected to kick, trying for the sidelines. The ball rolled out of bounds on the five, and O ' Rourke stepped back in punt formation. However, Chuckin ' Charley completely fooled the Hoosiers and romped around his own right end for 20 yards. On the very next play he scampered around left end for 50 yards, placing the ball on the Indiana 25. Charlej then elected to take to the air, faded back slowly, saw that his men were covered, started around end and was trapped, and then, as the Indiana linemen climbed over his slim frame, he unleashed a hit-or-miss aerial that was caught by Al Horsfall on the eighth. On the next play, Pete Cignetti spun through his own left tackle for the touchdown and Horsfall place-kicked the extra point. In the second half, two of O ' Rourke ' s passes were muffed in the end zone, and Indiana threatened to score on three oc- casions. Late in the fourth period, with Indiana desperately taking to the air, Ed Cowhig intercepted a pass from Al Hursh and raced 34 yards for the Eagles ' second touchdown. Again Horsfall added the extra point by placement. Terriers Fall Fenway Park, Boston, Nov. 11 — Boston College ' s undefeated football team ' staged two touchdown marches in the first period and scored again in the final period on a long pass from Charlie O ' Rourke, but was given a few jittery moments in the closing minutes of play when a Boston University passing attack produced a pair of touchdowns. The Eagles finally were victorious, 24 to 13. During the first period, Boston College displayed its most powerful offensive strength this season, marching 71 yards and then 61 yards for scores. The Eagles ' first touchdown was scored by Fella GintofI on a four-yard end run, and Vito Ananis contributed the second on a 19- yard reverse inside his own left end. GintofI place-kicked both conversions. In the third minute of the final period, Chuckin ' Charlie O ' Rourke faded back and hurled a 52-yard touchdown pass to Horsfall. Horsfall place-kicked the point. Late in the final period, Boston Uni- versity completed six passes for a total of 69 yards for its first touchdown. After next kick-off, the Terriers soon had a first down on the Boston College 30, and Ralph Salvati heaved a 28-yard aerial to George Pantano for the score. Lawry con- verted both extra points. Hawks Deadlock Alumni Field, Chestnut Hill, Nov. 19 — A frustrated but evidently superior Boston College football team rolled up 12 first downs, 238 yards by rushing and barely missed scoring on two occasions, but was forced to accept a scoreless tie with plucky little St. Anselm here this rainy and muddy afternoon. Playing under conditions which ren- dered any kind of open football impossi- ble, the Eagles continually forced the is- sue against its undefeated and previously untied rival. The game left both elevens in the undefeated class and served as an efficient tune-up for Boston College, which meets arch-rival Holy Cross next Saturday. Starring for Boston College was Fella Gintoff, the hero of the Detroit and Tem- ple games, but paradoxically enough it was Fella ' s lot to fumble twice when the Eagles seemed on their way to scores in the final period. The condition of the field kept Rambl- ing Ray McLean, the St. Anselm ace ball- carrier, from providing any of his spec- tacular runs, and it was actually the steady punting of Charlie Jaworek which kept the Eagles at bay. Purple Hands Eagles First Defeat, 29-7 Osmanski Leads Attack Lukachik Scores for Eagles Fenway Park, Boston, Nov. 26 — Boston College ' s undefeated record was smashed into little splinters by a great Holy Cross football team, which roared to a touchdown in every period to annex a 29-7 victory before a near capac- ity crowd of 38,000 frigid spectators here this afternoon. Except for a temporarily bold offen- sive threat in the opening minutes of play and a glamorous moment at the start of the second half when their lone touchdown was scored on a 14-yard pass from Charlie O ' Rourke to Alex Luka- chik, the Eagles were definitely out- classed by a Holy Cross attack. The Crusaders ' first touchdown was scored in spectacular fashion at the end of a 73-yard march which begun in the fourth minute of play. A long pass from Cahill and a 15-yard penalty consumed the biggest chunks of territory. The Eagles held on the 10-yard line until fourth down, when Cahill flipped a pass to the right coffin corner, and Andy Giardi snared it just before he stepped out of bounds. Osmanski and Hilary Renz featured the 49-yard drive for the second score. It was climaxed by a trick play by Henry Ouellette who was handed the ball by Os- manski on a fake buck and swept his own left end. The third Purple touchdown was scored by Johnny KellCy, who took a lateral from Osmanski and raced 46-yards down the sidelines. The final Crusader score came on the second-last play of the game. The drive started from the Eagle 30. Two passes from Cahill made it a first down on the four, and Osmanski hit the line twice for the score. Late in the third period, the Purple scored two points on a safety when a bad pass from center went out of bounds behind the Eagle end zone. Boston College ' s touchdown came on the end of a 51-yard march. An O ' Rourke-to-Goodreault pass carried to the Purple 35, and a few minutes later a 15-yard penalty placed the ball on the 14. Two rushes failed to gain and an O ' Rourke pass missed fire. On fourth down, O ' Rourke faded back and flipped a neat pass to Lukachik, who caught it on the five and carried over. Lukachik place-kicked the extra point and the Eagles were momentarily back in the ball game, trailing only 14 to 7, until Kelley ' s run dampened their hopes. .M Freshmen Stop Holy Cross Alumni Field, Chestnut Hill, Nov. 12 — A subtle and fleet Boston College freshman eleven put on an unbroken 69- yard march the first time it obtained possession of the ball and then, save one, which produced a score in the second period, fought off the constant threats of heavier Holy Cross freshmen to gain a 7-6 victory and complete its fourth suc- cessive undefeated season at Alumni Field yesterday. A crowd of 16,500, the largest ever to witness the annual classic between the first-year elevens of the two Jesuit insti- tutions and one of the largest ever to wit- ness a freshman game in the country, marvelled at the well-rounded offense of the Eaglets as they bit off sizable chunks of territory on almost every play of the touchdown march. The touchdown, made by Henry Mazur of Lowell on a four-yard reverse around his own right end, was followed by a perfect placement conversion by Frank Maznicki, with Joe McNulty hold- ing, and the importance of this success- ful conversion grew into enormous pro- portions as the minutes ticked by. Holy Cross came back in the second period and climaxed a drive with a 31- yard touchdown from Nate Xatow ich to i i ' ' Eddie Foy. Al Morro, husky right tackle, and Adolph Kissell, backing up the left side of the line, stormed through to block the attempted conversion. It was the fitting finish to a season that completed the four-year domina- tion of New England freshman football by the Eagles. Undefeated for four years and untied for the latter two, the Eaglets have fulfilled their duty of feeding the varsity with capable material. In their victories this season over the Crusaders, Dartmouth freshmen, St. John ' s Prep, Brown freshmen, and Bos- ton University freshmen, the Eaglets pro- duced their annual share of potential var- sity material. Frank Maznicki, Adolph Kissell, Bob Jauron, Henry Mazur and Frank Davis among the backs, and Al Morro, Steve Levanitis, Ed Zabilski, John Joyce, Andy Pasiuk, Terry Goeg- han, Frank Healey, and Fran Corbett among the linemen appear to have the best chance of making the grade. Maznicki, who, observers say, is as fast and shifty as Lou Montgomery and weighs 15 pounds more than the colored star, is slated to become one of the stand- outs in Eagle football history. Morro and Levanitis at the tackles both weigh well over 200 pounds and are aggressive. Leahy Succeeds Dobie Alumni Field, Chestnut Hill, Dec. 12 — Gilmour Dobie, the Gloomy Gil and Thin Man of football tradition, today resigned as head coach of Boston College and signified his probable per- manent withdrawal from active partici- pation in the gridiron game, thus bring- ing to a close a 32-year coaching career. Dobie reached the heights of success as Boston College coach in the first of his three-year regime, when his inspired and hard-working eleven climaxed a success- ful season by upsetting highly favored Holy Cross in a magnificent second-half comeback, 13 to 12. Regarding Dobie ' s resignment, the Rev. Patrick J. Collins, S.J., faculty director of athletics, said I have in- formed Mr. Dobie of my personal grati- tude, as well as that of the Graduate Board and administration of the college, for his fidelity to duty during the term of his contract. Under his auspices, I feel that the athletic association has achieved much success. Alumni Field, Chestnut Hill, Jan. 28 — Frank Leahy, assistant line coach at Fordham and a comparative unknown among the coaching greats, was today named successor to Gil Dobie as head football coach. The 30-year-old Leahy is one of the youngest head coaches in the country. He made his name at Fordham as developer of the famous Seven Blocks of Granite. In a short interview after the release of the news of his appointment, Leahy re- vealed that he intended to install a modi- fied version of the Notre Dame system, with the emphasis upon an attack that is both efficient and interesting to watch. His past record eminently fits him to assume the role of head of the football de- partment at the Heights. He has the dis- tinction of having played tackle on the last team coached by the late Knute Rockne. In 1931, he went to Georgetown as a line coach, and the next year jour- neyed to Fordham. Alumni Fie ld, Chestnut Hill, March 8 — Ed McKeever, backfield coach at Texas Tech, and Johnny Druze, star end at Fordham two years ago, were today named to the Boston College football coaching staff. J. P. Curley — F. Leahy — Rev. P. Collins, S.J. [199] ®I 0 unh With the humble beginning of twenty ambitious musicians clothed in duck hats, maroon sweaters and white flannel pants the band has rapidly grown into a well organized drill unit that is essential to the Autumnal fanfare of our Saturday afternoon football games. At first the band appeared only for the games and then seemed to be forgotten for the rest of the week, but now the band, increased to fifty members, adds its color to the pre-game rallies as well as to the Freshman tilts. Only three years ago the new uniforms were purchased to dress the organiza- tion in real military style, rivalling in appearance those bands which it had already begun to exceed in musical quality. When Ted Marier succeeded Mr. Ecker, as conductor, he immediately introduced tricky letter formations, novelty numbers and a greater variety of marching scores that had the stands applauding long after the second half of the games had begun. Even on those moist afternoons when the elements exuded rather potently and dampened everyone ' s ardor the band would break out with a modern swing number, arranged by our capable conductor, with vocal renditions by the band ' s chorus. Blond Eddie Guthrie, who has been leading our charges for the past four years together with his cohort in action Buddy Ward, seldom dropped the twirling baton even when he marched through the streets of Baltimore or Philadelphia on the annual excursions of the band whose cry is, Where the football teams go, we go. On these annual trips which invariably found the band boarding the Colonial Line at Providence the boys entertained the ship ' s passengers with a concert and supplied jazz music for dancing. They toured New York for a day or so and then on to their destination where a police escort guided an uninterrupted one-band parade through the city. The particular success which the B. C. band is now enjoying is especially due to Ted Marier, the popular young conductor, who has arranged his own num- bers, drilled the members to real marching precision and generally induced a spirit of live enthusiasm. tistbaii Starting with freshman year, when the nine of the class of 1939 won 11 of its 12 games, the baseball team improved steadily for two years, and opened the campaign of 1939 with a new coach, a veteran team, and lots of confidence. The centennial year of baseball and the opening of Grover Whalen ' s World ' s Fair at New York made holiday events of two of the 26 games, for the New York Uni- versity game May 12 was played at the World ' s Fair, and the Fordham game the following day celebrated the 100th birthday of the game at Cooperstown, N. Y., site of its origin. The new coach was Frederick E. Maguire, Holy Cross graduate and profes- sional player with the New York and Boston teams of the National League. He succeeded Frank McCrehan, coach for seven years. The veterans were captain Thomas Palumbo and some capable seniors, supported by a group of juniors that had already furnished the spark for a successful season in the spring of 1938. The seniors were Norman Pilote at third base, pitchers Sigmond Somy and George Fallon, and outfielder Edward Ash. Rounding out the team were James Byrne as catcher, sophomore Edward Sawyer at first base, Robert Cromwell at shortstop, and outfielders Frank Burns, who played first base the previous season, and Bradford Martin. The brilliance of Somy and Fallon as freshman pitchers was overshadowed by upperclassmen during the next two years. Fallon had accounted for eight of his freshman team ' s victories, and although Somy was the victim of St. John ' s Preparatory School in the only loss of the season, he pitched for nine innings before he yielded his opponents a hit or a run. A year later, with Palumbo and Pilote in its ranks, the varsity went through a better than average season that reached its climax in a hair-graying series with Holy Cross. Holy Cross took the series by winning the first and third games with one-run margins at Mt. St. James, but on i .lumni Day, the Maroon and Gold sandwiched in a 2 tO 1 victory. The victory wrote a successful ending to the 1939 Schedule April 12 — U. of Maryland at Maryland 13— West. Maryland at Maryland 14 — Temple Univ. at Philadelphia 15 — Villanova at Philadelphia 19 — Fordham Univ. at Boston 21 — Boston University at Boston 22 — Northeastern at Boston 26— Tufts at Boston pitching career of Robert Cash ' 37, who had found a nemesis in Holy Cross and pitcher Wilfred Lefebvre until that game. He won his own game by singling in the tenth inning to score Atilio Ferdenzi from second base. Earlier in the spring, Boston College defeated Wasea University for the only victory of an American college nine over the touring Japanese. Victory in the Holy Cross series came to the Heights in 1938 for the first time in five years when Walter Lepeisha of Worcester defeated the Purple in the first two games. That series, immediately before graduation, was practically the pitching debut of the calm Lepeisha, for until that time he was known as just one of the boys throwing the ball to the catcher in batting practice, who sometimes walked out to the mound to save a game that looked as if it were slipping away. Not many games required saving, however, for the baseball team turned in one of the best records in years.

The snow came late and stayed later, so that the team had to limit its practice to throwing the ball in the Presentation Gymnasium, Brighton. Out- look for the four games of the spring trip was blue, for the spring trip has never produced victories. The opening home game with Fordham at the senior class Fathers ' Day on April 19 meant breaking a string of annual Fordham victories of that date, but from there on everything looked maroon and gold.

Zeimetz {Capta ' n), R. McNally, J. McNeil A survey of the past track winter from the vantage point of Chestnut Hill immediately pushes three out of the ten meets into the foreground of glory. The first of these was the opening meet at Boston, the K. of C. Games. Despite gloomy forecastings. Coach Ryder de alt a grand slam when his freshman and varsity mile teams and varsity two-mile team trounced all opposition, while captain Frank Zeimetz placed second in the dash and sophomore Ralph Ryan thrilled the customers in tying for third in the high jump at 6 ' 2 . The evening really belonged to the two-mile team; because Billy Harkins, John Powers, John Cronin, and Joe Shea literally ran away from the field. But it remained for the mile aggregation, in the Millrose Games at New York, to produce the shining highlights of the winter. The unorthodox B. C. group comprised of sprinter Charlie Green, shot-putter Bill Gilligan, half-miler John Powers and Artie Allan, the only quarter-miler, had been selected by the Millrose arrangers to serve as more or less of a convenient background against which the highly publicized mile quartets of Holy Cross and Manhattan were to stage a striving battle. When Allan whipped past his prima donna opponents in the last twenty yards of the anchor leg, the Boston College track fortunes could rise no higher. 1 John Ryder, Coach Frank Zeimetz, Captain George Farrell, Manager The third meet of the winter with a distinctly Maroon and Gold tinge was the I. C. 4A. affair in New York. It was the field-event addicts this time, and they produced a track phenomenon in the modern history of the sport. With the exception of our own Alma Mater, no college in the I. C. Association, however well equipped with warm gyms and luxurious field houses, placed more than one man each in the field events. It is a credit to the coaching of Jack Ryder and to the spirit of his athletes, that with no facilities whatsoever for practice aft ' orded by their college, four men from Boston College won medals in these events; Ed Swanson second in the shot put; Frank Zeimetz third in the broad jump; Joe Zabilski fifth in the 35-lb. weight throw; and Ralph Ryan fifth in the high jump. Miscellaneous high-spots from the season, as a whole, might well include Zeimetz ' second in the broad jump at the National A. A. U. Meet and the crown- ing of said Mr. Zeimetz together with Artie Allan as New England Champions in the 40 yards and 600 yards events respectively. For more glory, the team must look forward to the spring meets arranged by Manager George Farrell in Maine, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and New York. But the time is not yet ripe for action; for the board track is still up and the fortunes of the cinder paths lie hidden under a lingering blanket of winter snows. J. Pryor, J. Maguire, AV. Flynn, J. Buckley, F. LowRY, P. Moore (( ' apt. hotkey Interest in hockey increased with the passing of each year from 1935 to 1939, for Boston College exhibited a spectator-pleasing offense that was never held scoreless. Enthusiastic, daring, and constantly attacking, the Maroon and Gold sextets were never far from the top of the New England Intercollegiate Hockey League. The team of the ' 35- ' 36 season with Fred Moore as captain was hampered by the lack of ice after a heavy schedule of outdoor games had been prepared, but still the team finished with an excellent record. The offensive power of the team was almost outshone by the work of Timothy Ready, who was recognized as the outstanding college goalie of the year. In the first game of the season against an experienced Princeton team, he set a college defensive record with 81 stops out of 82 chances. When the class of ' 39 were sophomores, a well-balanced team captained by John Burgess swept through the New England League to the championship with seven wins, one tie, and one loss. A year later a high-scoring team led by Joseph Hartigan seemed doomed by a porous defense, but after the loss of the first five games, Paul Moore ' 39 was made goaltender. The team finished with a record of nine wins and six losses against all opponents. Second place in the New England League was earned with five victories and three defeats in league competition. The two-game series with Boston University was split when Boston College lost the first, 7 to 2, and won the second, 3 to 2. Highest score of the season was run up at the expense of Middlebury, 11 to 2. The difference that the play of Moore made in the for- tones of the team was seen against Brown and Northeastern. In their first meet- ings Boston lost to Brown, 5 to 4, and to Northeastern, 9 to 7, but in return games defeated Brown, 5 to 2, and Northeastern, 7 to 1. Moore, brother of Captain Fred Moore ' 36, captained the team in his senior year, but losses to Boston University meant the difference between first and third places in the New England League. These two defeats were the only stains on Boston College ' s league record, which numbered five victories. Climax of the season was the two games with Boston University, with the league championship to be decided. A closing minute surge lifted B.U. from a three-goal deficit to a 5 to 5 tie in the first game, and in the overtime period, B.U. took the game, 7 to 5. In the second game it was Boston College that came from behind to tie the game at four-all, but seconds before the whistle, Boston Uni- versity got the jump on the tired Eagles as they crowded the University goal, and out-raced them to a score. [206] Just before the end of the winter the team gained indirect revenge on its conquerors in defeating the Junior Olympic Hockey team, which had previously beaten Boston University, Brown, and Dartmouth. Colgate ' s season was spoiled by Boston College with the only defeat that Colgate suffered. High scorers were John Pryor and William Flynn. Pryor had a sizzling shot, but Flynn was the playmaker, who could blast through opponents, outskate them, and stickhandle through them while his wings maneuvered into position. The third member of the first line, sophomore Walter Cuenin, was a clever player but lacked the physical equipment to withstand bodily contact. Still, the attack of the first line was characterized by power and determination rather than finesse. It wore down opposing defenses by its tenacity, but at the same time created a physical strain too great for successful hockey. The second line could do little more than support the defense while the first line rested. John Buckley and George Norberg at defense played almost every minute of the season. Their technique was confined to poke checking instead of blocking. Captain Moore received almost universal acclamation as one of the best college goaltenders of the year. Senior lettermen were Captain Paul Moore, Manager Paul Needham, William J. Flynn, George Norberg, Raymond Coyne, and Thomas J. Ahern. The underclassmen who received letters were Ralph Doherty of the junior class and sophomores Walter H. Cuenin, John Buckley, John Pryor, and Joseph Maguire. Members of the team who did not receive letters were Albert Horsfall ' 39, and sophomores John Connor, John Hayes, and Arthur McCourt. An almost com- pletely successful freshman team seemed likely to gain positions on the varsity at the expense of veterans in 1940. It was Coach John Kelly, former Boston College player, who restored the sport after a long abandonment, when he offered in 1932 to coach a hockey team free of charge. 1939 HOCKEY SEASON Princeton 13 Boston College 2 Boston College 7 Northeastern 5 Boston College 3 Colgate 1 Dartmouth 11 Boston College 4 Brown 3 Boston College 1 Boston College 7 Colby Boston College 5 Massachusetts State 9 Brown 4 Boston College 3 Boston College 6 New Hampshire 3 Boston University 7 Boston College 5 Dartmouth 9 Boston College 1 Boston College 7 Northeastern 6 Boston University 5 Boston College 4 Boston College 8 Technology 3 Boston College 5 Junior Olympics 4 Boston College 4 Williams 3 in.

The boxers fought only for the exercise for the first year, and made their public appearance in their second year with a program of exhibition bouts under the guidance of John McNulty, then a senior. The team reached maturity with the election of McBride and George J.

The team was ready for intercollegiate competition, but the only op- ponent scheduled, Villanova, had to cancel the bout because of a lack of sufficient financial backing. An invitation was received to fight in the intercollegiate championships in Madison, Wisconsin, at the end of the year. In its third year, the team included besides McBride and Devlin, D. Ray- mond Fitzgerald and manager Joseph McNulty of the senior class. Other members were Richard Curnane, Vito Ananis, Thomas Mahon, George Kerr, Edward McDonald, and Joseph Keough. Competition was found in exhibition bouts that carried the team through most of the state. Most important of the exhibitions was that staged at the college for the second successive year. The team disbanded with letters to show for their loyalty and the promise of Rev. Patrick J. Collins, faculty director of athletics, that a ring would be built and necessary equipment bought for the next year. J W. Bric, T. Finnerty, - E. Sullivan, A. Branca, E. Campbell, T. Dacey, A. Bismark, J. Lynch ® nm0 Captain Tim Dacey and his racqueteers entered the 1939 season confident of improving on the record of even the 1938 team, captained by Andy Bismark, best in the history of the college. The 1939 team split better than even, and on the southern trip broke a precedent not only by winning matches, but by winning four to their opponents ' three. Reason for the sudden improvement and the 1939 enthusiasm was the coach- i ng of Father O ' Callaghan and the playing of three veterans who started the game as soon as they could get a grip on a racquet. They were Dacey, Bismark, who managed the team while playing in his senior year, and John Lynch. Albert Horsfall was the fourth senior on the team. Other players were Elmer Campbell, Eugene Sullivan, and Walter Bric. The 1939 southern trip scheduled Fordham, New York University, Loyola, William and Mary, North Carolina State, George Washington, Wake Forest, and Hampden City. At home the team met Boston University, Tufts, Fordham, St. Peter ' s, Suffolk University, and Holy Cross. [209] jfitncin Compelled to seek practice quarters in vacant classrooms or in the cafeteria in company with the boxing team, and handicapped by the necessity of going to the Casino Club, Boston, for instruction from Coach John Roth, the fencing team found the better organization of its opponents an imposing obstacle. The team was forced to measure its success not by contests won or lost, but by the development of individual prowess. Captains J. Rauol St. Pierre 36 and Fred Carmody 37 both led their teams through successful seasons, winning their share of contests, and encouraging neophytes by their enthusiasm and personal victories. In 1938 James Regan led the team, supported by Joseph Eblan and Edward Rooney. As captain in his senior year, Rooney found his team lacking in veteran material, but set out to develop it. He had the raw material of a sparkling team in newcomers Paul Luddy and Edward Toomey, but six months was not long enough to teach fencing for college competition. Luddy, who handled a sabre lefthanded, graduated with Rooney, but Toomey, who shared point getting honors with him, was a junior. Hector Gai, a junior and only veteran of the team besides Captain Rooney, earned his share of points. Sophomore James Kiley, reporting late in the season, showed the greatest natural ability on the squad, but it was too late then to capitalize on it. Other members of the team were Ralph Struzzierio, Leo Riley, and Paul McGrath. Paul B. Flynn was manager. The team met Tufts, Brown, Amherst, Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, and Norwich. R. Struzziero, J. Kiley, A. Riley, P. Flynn, P. Luddy, E. Rooney- {( ' apt.), H. Gai, E. Twomey (Sou A powerful quartet expected to carve Boston College ' s best golfing record into southern courses during the 1939 spring trip. The team boasted four veter- ans, three seniors and a junior, James Martin, who reached the semi-finals in the 1938 junior tournament. Captain Herbert Mallard with a steady game, James Lynch with brilliant putting and iron shots, and John Roddy, a long driver who played a daring game, were the other three members of a team that had the rare opportunity of leaving four experienced golfers at home as the southern trip started. They were John Sheehy and Arthur Lacouture of the sophomore class, and two juniors, Charles McCarthy and Patrick Raflerty. The southern invaders met the University of Richmond, University of Virginia, William and Mary, Washington and Lee, Newport Naval College, Wake Forest, University of North Carolina, North Carolina State, Catawba, University of Delaware, and St. Joseph ' s. The full strength of the team was available against home rivals, including Brown, Dartmouth, and Holy Cross. H. Mallard, L. DePass, J. Martin, A. Lacouture, J. Lynch (Capt.), J. Roddy, J. Sheehy a:i| farllt Club With the hope that the college will some day establish a s wimming pool large enough to float a battleship, an enthusiastic group of men got together and inaugurated the Yacht Club for the purpose of developing the sport of sailboat racing at the college. They haven ' t as yet obtained permission to sail on the Reservoir but the Charles river is handy and M.I.T. is generous with her boats, so there is no worry about keels or where to put them. Practice is held on the Charles River Basin during the Autumn and Spring. Members of the club are selected on their experience and skill in handling small boats. The club has al- ready competed in the championship intercollegiate Regatta along with the lead- ing colleges of the East and from its showing promises to be a very successful organization. There ' s a thrill on the water that ' s unequalled and supreme. Thus a year ago Tech ' s Invitation Meet gave fourteen colleges an opportunity to race in a gusty sou ' wester on the Charles River Ba sin. The B. C. entry distinguished her- self and enjoyed the ducking experienced by Holy Cross. a:i][0 a tiitng ciub Although Boston College has no stables to house the fiery steeds still it has a riding club, instigated by Hector Gai. The lads trek off twice a week to the local bridle paths where they display their equestrian talents. The membership in the club for this year has been limited in number but interest in its activity is growing fast and next year with a membership campaign the club hopes to become one of the leading organizations at the Heights. Arrangements are made at a local stable whereby horses are reserved for the members on appointed afternoons and a capable instructor is on hand to direct the efforts of the new and untried aspirants. Special praise is due Hector Gai for his interest and enthusiasm in founding the club and keeping it alive even when his first attempts were handicapped by the many difficulties naturally connected with a new idea. However, Hector ex- pects to enter the club in the Riding Show competition in order to increase inter- est and bring prominence to the college in this particular sport which up until this time has been neglected at the Heights. M r anbattons ®Ij Ifntroliuctton [■HEN Boston College first came into existence the necessity of extra- curricular activity was immediately evident. Quite naturally the first thought along such lines was that of sports — football, baseball and hockey. They were introduced and the result was a sustained bond of loyalty and deep friendship. But even this was not the complete solution. Many students were not talented among such circles and although they were loyal and faithful sup- porters they yearned to participate in something diverse from the regular class- room work. They too wished to do something for themselves and for the College. They also sought a liberal education and a further cultural development. This was a problem for the faculty. The answer was obvious and readily perceived by the authorities. Clubs and Academies had to be established to satisfy the desires of all and thus came the dawn of a new era at Boston College. The welfare of the students ' spiritual being was the first consideration, and brought about the birth of the Sodality. For 71 years this organization has benefited every Catholic student in the college. The value of this unit is incalculable. Follow- ing closely in the wake of the Sodality were the Debating and Dramatic Societies. These were the three powerful leaders. They offered to the students spiritual assistance and a cultural background. For a number of years these three societies formed a triumvirate and went hand in hand gaining victories and svipremacy whenever they took part in compe- tition. But as time went on the need for other such organizations became more and more apparent. Due to the great amount of work to be accomplished in limited classroom lectures the students and the professors found it most difficult to discuss fully many everyday questions arising from the treatment of their particular sub- ject. As a result they began organizing informal meetings, weekly or bi-monthly. Out of this grew such academies as the Spanish, French, German, Latin and Greek academies. These organizations were established for the benefit of the students and their form was that of a symposium carried on wholly by the students under the supervision of competent Moderators. As the college grows so grows the lists of Academies and Clubs. When the College establishes a new course we generally find a new academy. In recent years such youngsters as the Sociology Academy, the Economics Academy, the Writers ' Club, the Math. Academy, the Physics and Pre-Med. Seminars and the Radio Club have joined the ranks of extra-curricular activities at Boston College. Each and everyone of these academies has a primary purpose, but in general they are all established for the use and assistance of the student. All memberships are voluntary and although students are vigorously urged to join they are never so compelled. Yet it is to their own advantage and advancement that they do take part in one or many of these organizations. They aid the men in acquiring wide- spread friendships, they bring friendly relations not merely among themselves but even among neighboring Universities. The Academies add culture and extra polish which are so essential to the education of every student. Extra-curricular activities are as much a part of college life as classes themselves. [ 214 ] ®I| o! altty The Sodality of the Immaculate Conception is the basic foundation upon which all other extra-curricular activities are built; It was founded when the col- lege was first started and has grown since then into the leading spiritual organiza- tion in the College. Boston College, particularly in late years, stands forth as a uniquely eloquent witness to the truth of this statement, for here, our Sodality has assumed so outstanding a position among all activities that a great part of the social and intellectual life of the college revolves about it. Quite naturally of course, the primary purpose of the Sodality is the personal sanctification of each student ' s own life, and secondly the active participation in the work of Catholic Action. This twofold purpose of the Sodality toward which all the sodalists strove with reverent vigor was spurred on by the energy and en- thusiasm of the moderator. Father Richard Rooney, S.J., and his assistant, Father Francis Coyne, S.J. The activities are divided into an internal and external program. The internal program presents lectures, debates and informal discussions at the regular meet- ings. Once a month the members assemble in chapel for meditation and benedic- tion. The external activities provide interests in many fields, such as the lecture teams which toured the various parishes and organizations throughout New Eng- land addressing audiences on such pertinent topics as Communism, Peace and War, Christ and the Worker, The Catholic in Business, Politics, Law and Medicine, and Catholic Education. The Social Committee ran a cabaret in December devoting the proceeds to charity. Admission to this event was a bundle of old clothes and a small donation. The talent was all voluntary from the student body itself. A dance was held after mid-term and the profit was handed over to the missions. The Sodality through its program, hopes to stir up in its members a greater interest in the doctrine of the church and to bring its members to be real Christ- like children of Mary. Prefect Thomas A.

Our undergraduate news organ has already attained an impregnable position of stability both financially and as a college tradition. The rise of the publication has been phenomenal and its steady progress has been accel- erated by willing hands. The 1938-39 staff with Andrew O ' Brien as its Editor, has done splendid work upon the Heights and today Boston College can well be proud of its representative in the field of intercollegiate journalism. It is now a weekly newspaper, written and published by the students; its pur- pose is to publish the news of events at the College, Law School, Graduate School, and the activities of the students, faculty and alumni. It cherishes and strives to maintain the highest ideals of Catholic journalism, and is one of the most impor- tant and influential activities in the college. Under the leadership of Andrew O ' Brien there was little friction and the paper functioned as smoothly as a well oiled machine and continually improved itself. Joe McCarthy always added a bit of humor to the paper in his widely read column In One Ear while Jan Koslowski took us out of town on The Collegiate Merry- Go-Round. Jim Kean took good care of the w eekly sports while looking through the Eagle ' s Eye and Editor Andrew personally wrote Tabloid. Much credit is due such assisting editors as Paul A. Keane, Joseph Grand- field, Joseph McKenney, Eugene F. McAuliffe, William McCormack, John Kelly, Jim Law, Gerard Converse, Arthur Cullen, Lawrence Kickman, John F. Hyan, George Lee and William McCarthy, all_of whom have spent many extra hours in the better interests of the Heights . A vote of thanks goes to the Rev. John P. Foley, S.J., and to his untiring assistant, Mr. Thomas F. Fleming, S.J., for their capable direction and careful scrutiny of all that was published. Editor Andrew J.

Somy ' 39 Cross anh Craiun Whenever you gather some fifteen hundred fellows together, inevitably there are those who strive to excel and those who wish to be leaders in whatever is the field of activity. Here at Boston College these individuals seek to attain this title of distinction as members of the Cross and Crown Society. Only Seniors are eligible candidates for this organization founded by Rever- end Joseph R. N. Maxwell, S.J., our dean; it is their fond duty to act as delegates of the student body in all functions that represent the college as a whole. At the death of Father Lyons, S.J., one of the most outstanding presidents of the college, the Society, in a body, served as a guard of honor at his funeral. In the course of the past year the Cross and Crown played host, first to the mothers of the Seniors at a tea and concert by the college Glee Club, and then later, to the fathers at a ball game, supper, and Father Maxwell ' s production of the Singer. It is the intention of the organization ' s founder to so nourish this activity with student enthusiasm that one day its prominence will be significant of Catholic education. A further step in this direction was made this year when a group of some seven students were chosen as members in a national fraternity of Jesuit Colleges titled the Alpha Sigma Nu, whose requirements for membership are loyalty and service to their Alma Mater. Particular emphasis is placed upon the fact that the society is open to all who qualify for membership, while the standards are published among the Freshmen in order to arouse enthusiasm among the underclassmen that they might live the school motto, always to excel.

During the past season much has been accomplished under the able direction of the untiring Father Dunigan, S.J. He emphasized voice, tone, and dialect during the early part of the term, and on many occasions the faithful members could be found practicing microphonic speaking long after the sun had set in the West. From there they turned to acting and play writing, and the talent displayed was nothing short of astounding. Long will we remember Play Night at the Latin School auditorium when the members of the Playshop thrilled some seven hundred people with four original one act plays. The first play was entitled The Fixer, written by Paul S. Colman ' 42. Paul will undoubtedly be heard from many times before he leaves Boston College. Next came October Lyric, a rather mys- tifying play composed by the President of the Academy, Paul Dunigan ' 39, younger brother of the club ' s capable Moderator. The third play, On the Ledge, was written by Arthur Cooley. Last, but far from least came Rush Week, a hilarious production by John C. Moyniham ' 40. Other active members during the past season were John S. Bowes, Paul B. Flynn, Leo J. Murphy, John Boyle, Michael McDonough, Joseph G. Dever, Thomas J. Heath, Paul Luddy, John Peyton, Richard Ready and Joseph AVaters. The Officers President. Vice Pres. . Paul Dunigan 39 . Michael McDonough ' 40 John S. Bowes ' 40 Sec. . Treas Paul B. Flynn ' 39 .

The only regret that can be voiced is that there were not more contributoi ' s. The paucity of writers, however, add so much more to the glory of the Guard. The outstanding offerings more than made up for the lack of contributors. The Stylus was founded in 1882 and has been published consistently since then every month during the college year. The periodical is a member of the Liter- ary Association of Jesuit Colleges and has always ranked high in the estimation of the Association ' s officers. This year the Stylus under the leadership of Thomas Quinn as Editor-in- Chief made a drastic change in the customary conventions. Time has brought about new ideas and in order to keep up with the times the Stylus was willing to depart from the previous atavistic customs, and so a huge modification took place. The cover was changed from a stiff shirt front to a far less formal design. The subjects themselves were changed from those of true art to those of less serious type. Short stories, essays, one act plays and even verse were printed and arranged in a most modern manner. George Devlin had a very prolific year in the literary field, besides writing for the Herald- Traveler. George attempted practically every sort of an article much to the edification of his enthusiastic public. As Editor-in-Chief, and a consistent contributor from the class of ' 39 was Thomas Quinn, a writer of exceptional talent and cloistered wit and humor. His efforts established him as the most talked of writer m the college. His works were widely read and constructively criticized more than once by the Heights. Thus it can be readily seen that the part that the class of ' 39 played in placing the Stylus on the pinnacle of modern literary magazine publishing has been of no inconsiderable moment and one most worthy of emulation by future classes.

The primary end of this bi-monthly publication is threefold. It seeks, first of all, to attain for the student of chemistry a greater degree of perfection and adaptability in the solving of problems and difficulties; an asset which will be of value in future endeavors. Secondly, each edition of the Crystal strives to stimulate an interest in all things chemical, to insure the attainment of a well-rounded education. Last, but far from least, by constant practise in the writing of articles of interest for publica- tion, it seeks to secure for all who show interest, a facility for the writing of future articles and theses. The first issue of the Crystal, published by the chemistry students of the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-eight under the guidance of Father Anthony G. Carroll, S.J., met with far greater success and popularity than was ever ex- pected. Gradually, through instructive criticism, willing cooperation, inspiration from readers, and the ever-present encouragement on the part of Father Carroll, this publication by the members of the Chemists ' Club has reached the present total of seven hundred and fifty copies an issue. The present ever-increasing mail- ing list has reached the three hundred and fiftieth copy mark and today the Boston College Crystal finds its way not only to all parts of the United States and its territories but even to such foreign lands as Sulaik, Baghdad, Iraq. The Crystal Staff ' , and all who have donated to its success, are to be con- gratulated on the thorough, interesting, and intellectual treatment with which the articles appear in each edition. Although the publication is in itself of recent origin, it is the major publica- tion of the Science Department, based on the untiring labor and zeal of those who have gone before and hopefully looks forward to the attainment of higher achieve- ments through the efforts of those who are to follow.

Fredenburg ' 39 [220] ®i| dramatic on ty The production of Ion, by Euripides, in May terminates the most success- ful year that the Boston College Dramatic Club has enjoyed since its establish- ment as an official College society in 1867. The season started in November with an attempt at one of Shakespeare ' s more difficult and lesser-known plays, Timon of Athens. Thomas McDonald ' s final appearance as a student-actor in the role of Timon was a truly magnificent portrayal, and coupled with Edward Rooney ' s interpretation of the cynical Apemantus succeeded in making our 63rd consecu- tive Shakespearean performance an exceptional production. In February the Dramatic Society continued its policy of presenting World Premieres when it presented Second Spring, by Emmet Lavery of First Le- gion fame. This narrative play on the life of Cardinal Newman had been previ- ously judged too difficult by critics for stage presentation, but the Boston College players disproved the theories of the critics when for three nights more than 5,000 persons applauded every scene and aroused the comment of superb from Elliot Norton. So enthusiastic were all the audiences that the Dramatic Society was forced to return a month later and play once more before capacity crowds. It couldn ' t be done but the society did it with the great aid of Fr. Bonn and all the members. Paul Devlin, Bob Fee, Ed Ferrarone, Joe Bigoness and Ed Rooney were the senior stars strutting the boards for the last time. Second Spring, as an artistic success also climaxed the career of one whom we all consider to be the most original technician and the finest President in the long history of the club. Ed Ferrarone will be greatly missed when he leaves in May for Medical school. Fr. Bonn must also bid farewell this spring to seniors, Joe Tuscher and Jack Cavan of the production staff and to Vice-Pres. John Driscoll. Officees Pres Edward J. Ferrarone ' Vice Pres John V.

Gallivan ' ' [221] The Boston College Chemists ' Club, an embryo in the minds of the Chemistry Faculty and a few far-seeing students since nineteen hundred and twenty-five, was formally introduced in the fall of nineteen hundred and thirty-seven. It was re- garded as another academy that would flourish in its infancy, but soon wither away under the onslaught of time. Perhaps it would have, but for the able leader- ship and wise covmsel of one man. Father Anthony G. Carroll, S.J. It was under his guidance that the Chemists ' Club rose to the-position that it now occupies: — a position not awe inspiring, nor history making, but nevertheless one achieved only through perseverance and accomplishment. The object and need of such an organization was more than the mere increase of chemical knowledge. Through project work outlined by the Reverend Albert F. McGuinn, S.J., Dean of Chemistry, and through frequent association with better known scientists, it was hoped to improve the qualifications and usefulness of the Boston College Chemist. High standards of professional ethics, true education and real attainment are to be his goal. Its aim is to achieve a closer fraternal spirit among the student members, so that they may mutually aid one another, not only as undergraduates, but as alumni in professional, scientific and business life. A means of external expression was deemed a necessity and resulted in the publication of the Boston College Crystal, a true scientific journal, written in popular style for the undergraduate and the average layman. Its startling success and immediate acceptance by world-wide readers surpassed even our fondest expec- tations. Due credit must be given to those students and officers, who, together with the faculty of the Chemistry Department cooperated to give us first, the Boston College Chemists ' Club, second, its official organ The Crystal, finally praise is due those students who lectured at the weekly meetings on varied topics of chemi- cal research. The Officers President Anthony T. Shtogren Vice Pres Francis X. Murphy Secretari WilUam J. Patten Treasurer Joseph M. Martin Twenty-three years ago, in the choir loft of the Immaculate Conception Church, Boston, the first music club representative of Boston College was formed. It consisted of twenty-three members and was directed by one of the club mem- bers. Through the years that followed, the students recognized that the music clubs offered an ideal diversion, and so it has become the strongest, numerically, of all the extra-curricular activities at the college. As Freshmen, the music clubs presented a number of fine performances throughout Massachusetts, offering the best in the higher realms of music. In Sophomore the trip most remembered was an overnight sojourn into the tobacco fields of Connecticut. Here the club sang in what is perhaps the most beautiful concert hall in New England, the Bushnell Memorial Hall. Junior year saw the exodus of the previous regime, and upon the rostrum came Theodore Marier ' 34, who has in the past two years become one of the best liked conductors to serve the college. Senior year brings to an end our undergraduate meanderings in the fields of music. AVe traveled through folk songs of practically every nation on the earth, from the lilting airs of Ireland to the sonorous songs of Russia, and sung as well of the sorrows, hopes and joys of the Church. The college has spared nothing to give the club the best in leaders and moder- ators. Father L.Gilleran,S.J.,was moderator during Freshman and Sophomore, and gave most generously of his time and ability, until his services were needed more urgently by the Divine Ruler. Then, in the remaining period. Father Douglas came back to the clubs; for, as a scholastic, he had once before been moderator of the club. As regards the directors, during Freshman, Mr. Ecker was at the head, until he left for even greater fields in the musical world. Sophomore saw Mr. William Kirby as the director of the orchestra and Glee Clubs. Junior and Senior found Ted Marier, whose ability is unquestionable, as our conductor and one whom we hope to see wielding the director ' s baton for many years to come.

The book of ' 39 is a result of the unselfish efforts of the entire staff whose number is too large to cite individu- ally. Joe Hammond is the poor lad who knew how to type; Paul Flynn personally conducted a tour of the organizations with his flourishing pen and portable type- writer; the biographies were handled by Phil Thompson who edited as many pen pictures as did Plutarch in his Lives and Herb Rooney dropped in from the Stylus and lent a hand to every section of the book until he could quote from most any page. A special vote of thanks is due those lads who receive no by-line but without whom much could not have been accomplished, Ed Foley who handled everything from biographies to organizations, George Whittaker, Barney TuUy, and Ned Kil- duff, our energetic office manager who assumed much of the unseen detail work, Jim Doherty and Will Holland who willingly typed our copy. Tommy Turnan was our camera hawk eye and flash gun expert while Vin Cahalane directed our historical ventures with Joe Bigoness. Andy O ' Brien adapted an individual style of humorous wit to our feature section. The sports section was capably inscribed by George Devlin and conscientious Jim Corrigan. Paul Keane generalled the business corp and canvassed every add possibility in the neighborhood, as is evident on the back pages, and had as assistants in this department, Bill McCarthy and Ed Hall.

Walsh, S.J., as its first moderator. This society, limited to the Freshman and Sophomore classes, emphasizes the necessity of purity of diction and precision of logic in forensic eloquence. A weekly debate with an open forum enables the student to put the fundamental rules into practice and receive helpful criticism and correction. During the year, extensive competition is given the society through Parish and Intercollegiate debates. This past season lecture teams from the society travelled throughout the state, appearing before civic clubs and councils of various orders. The more ex- perienced members in the organization met on forensic battlegrounds debating teams from Holy Cross, Georgetown, Salem Teachers, Immaculata College of Philadelphia and Boston University. Questions of public finance and foreign policy offered fodder for heated dis- cussions, and also provided the inspired rhetoricians a thorough study of economic principles and international law. The society reached new heights this year under the industrious directorship of the Reverend Jeremiah J. Donovan, S.J. The untiring efforts of the director and the enthusiasm of the members manifested themselves in the bi-weekly meetings as opposed to the conventional meeting held but once a week in past years. In the annual prize debate Thomas J. Finnegan, Jr., of the class of ' 41 was awarded the Gargan Medal for preeminence in speech and argumentation. This year ' s Presidency was held for the first semester by Luke A. Farley, a forcible and renowned debater, while Yalter J. Clear took the reins during the second semester. Mr. Clear is well known in civic communities as a capable de- bating coach. At the present time he is leading St. Clement ' s High over the rough spots in the Catholic Debating League.

Murphy ' 41 Years ago, seventy-one years ago, to be exact, there was inaugurated at Boston College an extra-curricular activity from which great things were expected. It was known in those days of high shoes and buttonhooks as the Senior Debating Society of Boston College. Under the direction and inspiration of the Rev. Fr. Robert Fulton, S.J., who was its organizer and guiding light, a small group of speakers studied and practiced the gentle art of persuasion, known as debating. Yearly this society grew both in strength and in numbers until Boston Col- lege debating and debaters became synonymous with good speakers all over the country. In 1890, the society as a token of its appreciation and respect for its learned founder, formally adopted the name Fulton Debating Society. Its ex- pressed purpose was to teach the Boston College man the proper and effective means of expressing himself in public debate. The success was so great that the activities of the society extended from purely intra-society arguments to formal forensic discussions with representatives from many of America ' s leading colleges. For the past four years the reputation of the Society has been kept high by some of the members of the present graduating class. The names of Charles O ' Riordan, John Gaquin, Henry Lyons, John Donovan, John Henderson, Thomas Quinn and George Devlin have been particularly prominent. These men and many others of the class of ' 39 have written another page full of victories in the annals of the Fulton Debating Society. They travelled to New York, Philadelphia, and Washington where they pitted their oratorical prowess against leading college opponents and further spread the fame and reputation of Boston College. A vote of thanks and appreciation is due to the two Moderators of the past season who have done much toward bringing success to the club, Mr. John Kelli- her, S.J., and Mr. James Sullivan, S.J.

The pur- pose of the Academy is to stimulate a greater interest among the students in the further reading and study of Philosophy. Paul Luddy headed the lovers of wis- dom as President, ably assisted in the research by Vice-President Frank Gaffey and Secretary Albert Fiore. The relatively few unsolved difficulties were expl ained by Father John A. O ' Brien, the affable moderator. Again we witnessed the rechristening of the Philosophy Academy to be pres- ently known as the Aquinas Academy. At the meetings, which were held each week, the doors were open to Juniors and Seniors without discrimination. Papers were read during the meetings and discussions followed. Philosophical quarterlies were reviewed, and fundamental principles were applied to current social, religious, and political questions. The most common topic of discussion was the Corporate State as it exists in Portugal, Italy, Denmark, and Ireland. It was to be noted that this state democratically run, and hierarchically as opposed to bureaucratically administered, was a most efficient type of organization and entirely in accord with the Quadragesimo Anno of the late Pope Pius XI. The Academy, in a prophetic picture, saw the sudden rise of cooperatives and, in the dim and distant future, a Corporate State as the solution for many of our labor troubles. The ethical con- siderations that are inherent in these problems were discussed in the light of the natural law as the means for man to attain his final end. However, apart from these problems, the limited enrollment, and the syllogisms not in form, the philosophers forgot their troubles at their annual May-time banquets when m,etaphysical essences were disregarded for the more substantial reality of a stuffed turkey.

Albert Fiore [228] Jesuit institutions have always cherished the traditions of Latin culture and fostered its use as a medium of scholastic expression. Naturally, then, Boston College gave birth to an extra-curricular activity wherein a more concentrated study of the classics of ancient Rome could be undertaken. The organization is not a new function, but rather, it is almost as old as the college itself. And although the main purpose is Latin as an expression of the classics, each year a particular phase of Latin study is undertaken. Under the capable direction of Rev. Fr. Mulcahy, S.J., the academy has sought to encourage individual interest in the golden age of literature and an application of the better works of this era to a modern treatment. During the past two years Latin debates and open forums in the native Roman tongue were a special feature of the meetings as well as the productions of one act plays, written, acted, and produced by the members under the direction of the Moderator and his two assistants, Mr. Holland, S.J., and Mr. McMullen, S.J., who are deserving of special praise for their sincere efforts and enthusiasm in promoting the activity of the organization and a revival of the Academy ' s former interests. As a further expression of interest, various branches of endeavor were at- tempted in order to build the ground work for a more ambitious program whereby the organization hopes to produce for the public one of Plautus ' dramatic works. One of the highlights of the Academy was a o e act play by Paul Devlin, written for popular consumption as an expression of the background for Cicero ' s Pro Archias. John Foley made a similar appreciation of Cicero ' s Catilinian Oration; and Secretary Joe Murphy put in his bit for fame two years ago when he began the Academy ' s library with the contribution of a special volume treating of the entire golden age of literature.

It was founded by a small group of enthusiasts from the class of ' 27 in the latter part of 1924. The original group of charter members elected but two officers, a President, John J. Foley, and a Secretary John J. O ' Brien ' 27. One of the first rules of the Academy was that all business should be carried on, so far as possible, in Spanish. The chief credit for the foundation of the Academy and for everything it has accomplished must be given to its devoted Moderator, Mr. Conlon, head of the Spanish Department, at that time, and a former professor of English at the Uni- versity of Puerto Rico. He it was who organized the Academy and was at all times the guiding spirit. His patient kindness and willingness to sacrifice his valuable time to the carrying on of its affairs, were the chief reasons for its success. Under the present direction of Dr. Eduardo Azuola, the Academy has done much to promote friendly Latin American relations. The members correspond in Spanish with students in Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and other Latin countries. The highlight of the year was the annual Spanish dinner. After a real Spanish meal, the members joyously danced in a truly Spanish atmosphere spurred on by Spanish songs and dances by the Iberian Club of Manchester, N. H. The Academy takes great pride in its informal meetings at which the members hold weekly lectures and open forums. They have labored zealously to obtain authoritative speakers, and this past year has shown the benefits derived from their endeavors. The Academy is justly proud of the cultural benefits derived from the presentation of their most renowned guest speaker. Dr. Gustave de Aragon, former Rector of the University of Havana.

Foley ' 40 l t Italian Attihttn Although the Italian Academy is a relative newcomer to the long list of acade- mies at the Heights, in its few years of existence it has forged ahead with remark- able speed. The Academy was organized in 1935 under the guiding hand of Dr. Antonio Mezzacappa. It was under his guidance that the Academy held its first banquet night and Parents Night, both of which have grown to be annual affairs and bid to become traditional functions at Boston College. In 1938 Dr. Gino de Solenni was appointed moderator of the Academy and under his direction the members presented Pirandello ' s La Patente, at the Copley Theater in connection with the 75th Annivei ' sary celebration. The play was declared an outstanding success, and it found John J. Baldi, president of the Academy, playing the leading role opposite Kenneth Armenio. William McCor- mack and Arnold Bucci supplied the sound effects and also did the stage managing. This year the Academy presented Pirandello ' s L ' Imbecile, with the same group of seniors taking the leads. Besides the play, the Academy also sponsored a series of lectures which were given by Rev. Fr. Maxwell, S.J., Rev. Fr. Propezzi of Somerville, Professor Merlino of B. U., and a group of lectures by Rev. Fr. J. F. X. Murphy, S.J. The aim of the Academy is twofold; first to instill in the members a greater love and appreciation of Italian literature and culture; secondly, to give the mem- bers practical experience in the use of the language in the hope that ease and facil- ity in the use of Italian as a medium of conversation will be acquired, thus afford- ing students of Italian an opportunity of putting into practice the principles learned in the classroom. To prove that the Academy is not that of a strict lan- guage or racial group it has been opened to not only those of Italian extraction or to those who are studying the language, but also to anyone who has the slightest interest in its activities. lTiLH.N Ac-VDEMl OFFICERS President John J.

The director and general adviser is the Rev. John A. Tobin, S. J., head of the Physics Department, who tells us that the purpose of the Seminar is to acquaint the members with modern physics as discovered in the laboratory. The seniors play the part of the active members by giving a lecture each meeting on some subject of their own choice, in the field of physics. In each lecture the student describes his research work, how he went about it, the results he obtained, and the usefulness of the results. The lecture is as brief as possible, that all may be permitted to take part in the open forum and question period which follows each lecture. This year thus far. Nelson Erickson has lectured on polarized light, describing its use in stress analysis, and automobile headlights. John Gallagher spoke on radio activity, its causes, its prevalence and its new-found uses. Leo Landry described a proposed wind tunnel for propellers, with special attention being given to estimation of their efficiencies. Francis Lord gave an illustrated lecture on infra-red photography, and its valuable commercial and military use today. Paul McCauleyon the theory and practicability of the Geiger Counter used to count electrons emitted from radio active substances. Rand INlcNally gave a thorough description of spectral lines, their production and atomic structure. Alfred Mahoney described the fundamental physics of ballistics, illustrated in the various types of projectiles. James Flood who didn ' t elect Physics until his senior year, gave a fine talk on Super Conductivity, defining and describing both its mathe- matical and physical meaning. Thus the Physics Seminar proceeds with all the members obtaining a brief insight into the tremendously large field of experimental physics, an outgrowth of regular class work and in many cases far more constructive and interesting. The Officers Pres Rand McNally ' 39 Secrdury Leo Landry ' 39 Vice Pros Paul McCauley 39 Alfred Mahoney ' 39 [ 232 1 In 1934, Father Dore,S.J., decided that there wasn ' t enough time in class to dis- cuss many vital subjects which all Pre-Med. men should know, so he brought into existence the Pre-Med. Seminar for all those wishing to further their education along medical lines. It was not widely publicized nor did it make any startling discoveries but it has proved invaluable to the Pre-Med. students. Even today it is one of the most obscure undergraduate organizations at Boston College still at the same time it is one of the most exclusive and most constructive clubs of all times. Its purpose is to acquaint the seniors in the pre-medical course with various pseudo doctrines and practices with which the medical profession is flooded today. The Seminar has accomplished its aim through the medium of weekly discussions by the students themselves together with many other notable speakers. Such topics as Contraception, The Rhythm Theory, and Sterilization were discussed by such competent speakers as Fred McCready, Fred McDermott, Paul Dunigan, Ed Ferrarone, Art Sullivan, Joe Brennan, Saul Davis and others. Most important of all lectures were those on prevalent topics of the day, such as Birth Control, Christian Marriage, and Euthanasia. In these lectures the Catholic attitude is presented so that the members might equip themselves with weapons to combat the adversaries to Christian morality and Ethics in medi- cine. This may not appear of use at the present day but in future years when they go forth into the Medical world they will be able to prove that they are true Catho- lic doctors and real Boston College men. The Rev. Father Dore, head of the Biology department, was ever-present at all Seminar meetings and his assistance and direction will long be appreciated by all the members. Pre-Med.

Monahan ' 39 ®l| lErcnnmtr Arali mij The Economics Academy made its first appearance on the list of student activities at Boston College in 1932 under the direction of Mr. Fox, S.J., who might be termed the founder and originator of the Academy, but it was two years later when it really came into its own, under the guidance of Mr. Cahill, S.J., and his assistant, Mr. Raferty. It was at that time definitely founded but it wasn ' t until Mr. Robert Buck took things into his hands in 1936 that the Academy really became active. Mr. Buck set the club up as an opportunity for students to put in extra work and study on subjects of Economic interest under his competent direc- tion. Interest in any subject naturally leads one to further inquiry and investiga- tion of that subject, but unless the task is sponsored under sympathetic and quali- fied direction, continued application to the task becomes exceedingly difficult. The Economics Academy has attempted to supply this guidance and incentive by pre- senting each week, discussions by club members in symposium form. Occasionally invited guests address the members on specialized subjects but the program of symposiums by the individuals themselves is encouraged. Beginning with the school year of 1938 the Academy entered upon a program of lectures which were presented for the mo.st part to Catholic organizations of greater Boston. Six teams comprised of three men each presented two or more lec- tures during the course of the scholastic year. After every lecture questions were solicited from the audience and with almost 100% success the speakers were able to answer adequately and satisfactorily the questions put to them. Special commendation should be given to John Flynn, John Henderson. George Devlin and Thomas Quinn, all of the class of 1939, for their enthusiastic leadership during the past year. But even these boys couldn ' t have accomplished a great deal without the generous and untiring assistance of their Moderator. Mr. Robert Buck. To him they express their sincere thanks. [ 234 ] Ui}t ahxo Club This was one of the first active clubs to be formed at the new Boston College. Soon after Marconi spanned the Atlantic numerous students desirous of becoming better acquainted with wireless organized into a group which daily converged in a little room in the Science building and held official meetings every two weeks. At these meetings two students read papers giving the results of their research work and then they would subject them.selves to a question period immediately following. The purpose of the club is twofold: first to inculcate and develop in the stu- dents an intimate if not practical knowledge of radio telegraphy and telephony. Naturally there are more advanced students than those who are merely novices, and accordingly they patiently develop the newcomers, answering their pertinent and impertinent questions, while they themselves are delving into the more intri- cate problems that beset the modern Marconis. The second aim is to promote social contact among its members. The original equipment now completely modernized was the gift of His Emi- nence William Cardinal O ' Connell, Archbishop of Boston. At the present time, the station operating under the official call letters W-lpr, is equipped with 130- watt continuous wave transmitter and operates on amateur transmission bands. The receiving equipment is the most modern short wave type and responds to all amateur and important commercial frequency bands. Signals from the sta- tion have been heard the world over and its members receive messages and con- firmations from every section of the globe. The station is located on the second floor of the Science building and is open to all students interested in earning an operator ' s license or merely acquiring a working knowledge of radio technique. The Club meets every Wednesday, at which meetings the members learn both the theory and practice of radio transmission and reception. The Officers Prenident John Kinnier Vice-President Herbert Arnold [ 2.S.5 1 lion Pastor i tstonral Acal mij Snatched from an ignominious position where it functioned only in name, the Ludwig von Pastor Historical Academy once more became a reality in the Fall of 1938, under the guiding leadership of Mr. Henry Callahan, S.J., the Moderator. Unlike most other Academies, no flare of publicity, no hastily penned an- nouncements saw its inception, but rather an isolated notice here, an interested student there. From admidst such humble surroundings, it grew and waxed strong, now in- vigorated by a lecture of Father J. F. X. Murphy, S.J., again animated by the shawl-draped Baroness Catherine de Hueck, but at all times inspired by the spirit of advancement and freshness. This spirit was apparent not only in the many formal reports, such as the The Communist Manifesto of 1884, The Paris Commune, submitted on the topic under discussion for the year — Commu- nism, its history and efTect upon Civilization — but in many informal group talks on such matters as the strange influence upon the Tsarita by Rasputin, the power behind the throne, the taking of the Russian Government in 1917 by the Soviet Party and the subsequent propagation of its radical doctrines, the influence of Trotzky. At the present hour the Von Pastor finds itself in an enviable position of rank on the campus, but recognized not only as one of the most active, but as one of the most fascinating academies at the college. Truly it can be said that a mountain stream has become a surging torrent. The officers of the Academy, Edward V. Brown, John M. Callahan, J. Joseph Murphy, Raymond C. Flynn and John F. DeCosta were all working as a unit for the best interests of the club and were responsible for such interesting lectures as The History of Private Property, by Fr. Cotter, S.J., and Town Hall forum on the question Neutrality or Collective Security as our Foreign Policy? We hope that in the future the members of the Academy will not only carry on but strengthen the spirit of cooperation manifested in the success of this year, thereby winning for themselves an acquaintance with the record of civilization as well as an excellent cultural education.

The Writers Club or the P. D. G. as it is secretly known is the most envied club at the college mostly because of its title. Conspiracies and secret groups have allied in attempt to weed the meaning of P. D. G. from some unsuspecting member but they have always failed regardless of how much force or torture was used. We who do not belong to the club will probably never know the meaning of P. D. G., but we do know what the purpose of the club is and what is accomplished at the meetings. The club meets twice a month to discuss correct literature and drama to- gether with informal criticism of both. The Rev. J. R. N. Maxwell, S.J., dean of the college, is the moderator, and acts as chief critic, and authority on literary value as found in modern or contemporary authors. The purpose of the club is to stimulate creative writing in all fields of penog- raphy. All compositions contributed by the members are read at the meetings and each other member voices his opinion on the worth of the manuscript. All criticism offered is intended to be constructive rather than destructive, and definite im- provement can often be seen in style, thought content and technique because of sincere criticism. During the past year the attendance has been small but the work copious. Francis Cahill, intensely interested in liturgy, read many short dissertations on his findings from many authorities. John C. Moynihan ' 40, a blunt critic himself, brought forth many good one act plays, while Bernard Frazier ' 41 amused the members with his poems and short stories. Francis Lally ' 40 contributed much with his seasonal poems regarded with great merit. A new feature, introduced by the chief scribe, Leo Landry ' 39, was the peri- odical book review done by a different member at each meeting. Mr. Landry, winner of last year ' s poetry contest, lent variety to the meetings with several of his varied and strange form poems. The Ofi ' iceks Chief Scribe Leo Landry ' 39 Ass ' t.

The Gold Key Society was inaugurated with the aim of establishing friendly relations between the college and its official guests. The names of students who aspire to this society are submitted to the President of the Junior Class and his Council, who in turn, submit them to the Dean. The President and his Council are ex-officio members of the Gold Key. During the past season, adhering to the precedent of the Junior Society, the Gold Key members outlined and completed a well-organized program to welcome visiting collegiate teams and to provide for their entertainment while in Boston. For the most part, the attention of the members was centered upon the visit- ing football teams. Committees of four each, selected from Society members, were delegated to represent the college to the football squads of Detroit, Florida, Indi- ana, Canisius, St. Anselms and Dartmouth ' 40. It was their purpose to generate a spirit of good-fellowship as well as good sportsmanship between Boston College and the visiting competitive colleges. The Committee groups under competent leadership and with the cooperation afforded by the Athletic Association, conducted their programs as follows: A welcoming assemblage of members was on hand at the bus or train depot to greet the incoming collegiates and to escort them to their hotel. As soon as the visitors were settled in their respective rooms, an informal meeting and introduction was initiated between the Gold Key members and the football squad in the lobby. During this period of unceremonious introduction and association, the Junior committeemen served principally as informational and guide agents. After the preliminary practice sessions, the coaching staff and captain were the center of interest and proper entertainment to suit their taste was in order. At all times the Juniors of the Society were aware of their great responsibility and cultivated a genuine spirit of friendship between B. C. and all visiting colleges throughout the year.

The Law and Government Academy has for its purpose the acquisition of much more advanced and detailed knowledge of the problems of law and govern- ment than it is possible to obtain in regular class sessions together with the de- velopment of its members to a group of trained speakers. The Academy stresses discussions of current problems of popular interest, which are the subject at each meeting where a member of the academy or a prominent guest speaker addresses the assembly. After the speaker has finished his talk the members are permitted to interrogate him in an open forum. During the past year the Law and Government Academy treated such sub- jects as the Plan E Form of Municipal Government, after which followed the most lively open forum discussion of the season; The Administrative Aspects of Probation, The Nature and Character of Public Administration, The Good and Bad Features of the New Deal, The Three Principal Types of Municipal Government and other such topics. Among the foremost guest speakers of the year were Mr. Henry McKenna, Chief Probation Officer of Suffolk County, who discussed the administrative as- pects of probation, and Mr. Frederick T. Bryan, of the Economics Academy, who discussed the good and bad of the New Deal. The climax of the current season was the banquet which the Academy held in true Boston College style under the Tower. Father J. F. X. Murphy, S. J., the speaker of the evening pointed out the basic cause of the present European trou- bles while Fr. Rooney, S.J., the student counseller, added color and entertainment to the banquet by his presence and brief talk. The Academy owes its great success to its Moderator, Mr. Harry Doyle, whose magnetic personality welds the members of the society into a more unified organization. His prodigious knowledge of governmental machinery and policy have ever amazed the students of government. The Officers Pre.s Albert F. Fiore Hccrelary Lawrence A. Harrington Vicc-Pres Edward Mahoney Moderator Harry Doyle tctt Mail} Ktahtmti The infant of all Academies is the Math Academy having been established only one year ago and named after the famous Jesuit Mathematician, Father Ricci. The Club is open only to students of the Freshman and Sophomore classes who meet bi-monthly to give talks and discuss mathematical problems. It aims to impart a cultural background which will enable those interested to appreciate the significance of recent development in Mathematics. It offers the student an oppor- tunity to suggest his own problem and present it before the members at a regular meeting. One of the many outstanding features in the Academy is the Ricci Mathe- matical Journal which is published once a month. This periodical contains real intellectual editorials, notices of the Academy ' s activities and the solutions of many of the problems the members have labored over all month. The Academy is a member of the Greater Boston Intercollegiate Mathematics Clubs Association, composed of the various Math Clubs from such leading Eastern colleges as Tufts, Wellesley, Northeastern, Boston University and our own Alma Mater. This Intercollegiate society meets twice a year and each college takes its turn acting as host. Last November, Boston University offered the meeting place and presented Professor A. A. Bennet from Brown University as the guest speaker. Only one year of activity and yet this Academy has built up a large member- ship and has shown a definite note of progress. The keen interest of the founder is apparent in the young Academy, and with the passing of years it should expand into a vigorous unit adding materially to the advance of mathematics in the fields of college subjects. Until the Ricci Math Academy was started at the college many of our extraordinary mathematicians were being overlooked and they were afforded very little opportunity to show their talents, but now the birth of a new Academy has brought heartfelt enjoyment to many Boston College mathemati- cians. The Officers of the Math Academy Pres .Joseph E. Boothroyd ' 42 Vice-Pres Frediano D. Mattiolo ' 42 [240] Secretary William F. Bugden 42 Treasurer John J. Driscoll ' 42 The A. A., the force behind Boston College athletic conquest, attempted to inculcate in the student body a feeling of school spirit and loyal cooperation. Under the able leadership of President Jim Kelly, assisted by Vice-President Arnold Bucci, Secretary Treasurer Paul Needham, Junior Representative Joe Foley, and Sophomore Representative Jim Rodenbush, the wishes of the students were catered to in the form of numerous football dances. To the Student Athletic Association rightfully belongs credit for expanding a forceful energy in sponsoring the colorful pre-game football rallies. The benefits of these pep meetings were made manifest by the enthusiastic cheers emanating from the student section of the grandstand. Standing as a medium between the athletic office and the student body, this activity established harmonious relationships calculated to lift athletics to a lofty pinnacle in the sporting world. Even though the maroon and gold colors be tarn- ished in defeat the A. A. extends a sympathetic hand, ever willing to play the two- fold role of friend and advisor. Election to office in this activity comes only after strenuous campaigning among the Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior classes. These three vote for the candidate of their choice. The fortunate survivor, upon assuming the duties of his office, finds many tasks confronting him. In addition to his role as chairman of all dances he must assign ushers for the games, assist in the sale of tickets, initiate all rallies, and in brief, act as the student contact with the-athletic office. The annual office holder must possess an extremely good nature to weather the jibes of the assemblage before whom he acts as master of ceremonies in introducing the foot- ball players. The Officehs Pres James Kelly Scc.-Treas Paul Needham Vice-Prea Arnold Bucci ®I| ( ttntan Atuhetn Through the diligent efforts of Dr. Paul A. Boulanger, Director, the German Academy has built up a large and enthusiastic membership. The primary purpose of the Academy is to foster an advanced study of the German language and cus- toms for those who are willing and anxious to devote extra time to the subject. During the course of the school year, the Academy sponsored several social activities. Perhaps the most enjoyable of these was the annual Christmas banquet at which the members and their guests partook of a genuine German menu. The banquet was followed by a program of German folk songs and music. On April twenty-seventh, a program entitled, A German Evening , was presented as an- other of the ambitious social undertakings of the Academy. A lunch was served, and entertainment, consisting of dancing and a stage production by Hans Sacks, was offered. This play, which has seldom been presented here in America, and which features an all male cast, was one of the highlights of the evening. Last year, the Academy presented an extremely creditable production of the well known Wilhelm Tell. This year ' s presentation is an even more elaborate one, and the members are growing quite ambitious toward displaying their Thespian abilities. Much sought after prizes are awarded annually to those members who have been particularly outstanding in the year ' s work. These rewards serve to maintain enthusiasm at a high pitch and afford another example of the splendid organiza- tion of the Academy. In the course of the past several years the German Academy has grown and expanded both in activities and membership. The major share of the credit for this remarkable growth belongs of course, to Doctor Boulanger. However the cooperation and zeal of the members cannot be too highly com- mended. Without their good will the German Academy could not have attained the enviable position it holds today. The Okkicehs President Edward U. O ' Donnell Treasurer Cornelius Cohan Vice-Pres Roy Upham Secretary Thomas Nary [242] With the contention tliat friendship springs primarily from common interest, Doctor Fitzgibbon, head of the Sociology department, brought into existence in 1938, the Sociology Academy. Before the advent of the Doctor the Academy was only a visionary illusion. Many had given thought to forming just such an academy but they all failed to give it that motivating force until the present Moderator happened upon the scene. The Society was formed for a threefold purpose : First, that prominent men in the field of Sociology might express their views to the students and broaden the outlook on the Sociological field. Secondly, that the student might study the social problems confronting the people of today. Thirdly, that friendships might wax stronger in the common interests that affect the club. From the beginning the Academy has expressed its zest and enthusiasm for knowledge of the present-day social science. It invited for lectures many promi- nent men in the aflfairs of the New Deal. The Academy studied cases of many in- dividuals and communities, analyzing the causes of their failures and seeking a suitable remedy for checking the extent of such failures. The Academy at present is but a few years old, but even now has assumed an ambitious program. As it grows in years so too will it grow in strength and power. The year of ' 38 saw its birth and the year of ' 39 has seen it crystallize into a great society. If the club continues to develop at this rapid pace we will see a most unusual and influential organization within the space of a few years. Much credit is due Doctor Fitz- gibbon for all his efforts and the fine direction and assistance he has given to this organization. Among the most outstanding, active members we find such familiar names as Merle Carey, Ned Kilduff, Arnold Bucci and Frank Gaffey. They, together with their director have accomplished a great deal towards making the Academy a per- manent and leading function at Boston College. The Officers President Merle Carey ' 39 Secretary.

Paul deMangeleere, S.J., the Academy entered upon a wel l-rounded program to enhance the interest in French Art and Literature among the students by offering opportunities for informal extra-curricu- lar study of these treasures of France. A similar organization had died a natural death a few years previously but Father deMangeleere infused a new spark of life that rapidly grew into a steady flame so that today we find the Academy ranking high among the rest of the academies at the college. It is also of interest, we note, that back in 1926 the Academy engaged in a public debate with Holy Cross and won the unanimous decision in a contest which is believed to be the first intercollegiate French debate ever engaged in by any students in America not of French birth or extraction. This year the Academy substituted a system of semi-weekly meetings in place of the former custom of holding meetings each week. It is believed that the new s ystem will provide ample opportunity for cooperative work, lectures, and busi- ness sessions while various other activities are conducted apart from the regular meetings. With history in the making, the Academy brought forth French talking pic- tures to the college for the first time, thus affording interested students an excel- lent opportunity of becoming familiar with both spoken French and French customs. Another innovation is the practice of subscribing to current French Periodicals while the members attempt to match these with their own journal, L ' Aiglon. Before Christmas the Academy sponsored a Soiree de Noel consisting of entertainment, followed by a dance, the proceeds of which financed the annual oratorical contest, the banquet and the dramatic production. Many thanks are due to the earnest, hard-working Moderator, Mr. Andre G. deBeauvivier for all the time and energy he has devoted to the students and for the success of the Academy.

Roberts The Philomatheia Club of Boston College was founded in 1915 for the pur- pose of advancing the interests of Boston College in academic and in social circles. Its leadership was then entrusted to Mrs. Vincent P. Roberts and so efficiently and devotedly has she carried on the tradition of the Philomatheia that she still holds her high position. Mrs. Roberts has truly been an inspiration and it is easy to understand why the club now consists of over fifteen hundred women, the mothers, sisters and friends of the students and graduates of Boston College. Its ranks are recruited from the loyal and ardent feminine supporters of this institu- tion in greater Boston. Truly does it justify its title, Friends of Learning. Ably does it fulfill the purpose for which it was inaugurated. As patronesses of culture and the arts, they are more than eager at all times to assist any activity of a social or cultural nature that may be undertaken by the student body. With great pleasure, we of the Sub TuRRi, in behalf of the Senior Class in particular, and the student body in general, acknowledge our debt to the members of this admirable organization and express our heartfelt appreciation of all that they have done for us. During the past years the Philomatheia club has on numerous occasions given the use of the Club House for many of our activities. Back in 26 it was used each Tuesday evening as a meeting place and a lecture hall for the Greek Academy. The Club even went so far as to insist upon i)aying for the printing of all programs and invitations . The French Academy rectivcd the same benefit of the interested assistance of the Philomatheia Club. The Fultuu Debating Society has been aided by its moral support and here once again the Philomatheia proved itself to be an inspiration and help to the embryonic orators of the college. The Philomatheia Ball was undoubtedly the foremost event of the college social year, and was held this year in the Ballroom of the Copley Plaza. A scintil- lating riot of color, music, and harmony, it will long be remembered as one of the most joyous and inspiring affairs of our college careers, adding yet another to the numerous debts which we owe to this Club.

Vincent Cahalane %B Sntrobuction In the pages of tbis pic- torial section, we have tried to capture, once and for all. the spirit of the Class of 1939 as the lens sees it and to accompanj ' such photog- raphy with a description that will enable the reader to keep that emotion a vital and a cherished memory so long as he remains a Boston College graduate of the year 1939. OAV iCAMNt. Just about the time that hordes of salps, grotesque soft-bodied tunicates from far out to tropical sea, swarmed into Halifax harbor to bring an early fore- cast of the hurricane that struct New England on the 21st of September, we were leaning on the regis- trar ' s desk filling out those over-size strips of excur- sion tickets, preparatory to the opening of classes for 1938-1939. In the wake of the doughnut-shaped storm that roared around these parts in its periphery, stopping to flick off the roof tiles on the Tower and to disrupt power lines for a week, things were delayed a bit, but, eventually, we had to dash into the book store and get a Psych text that turned out to be a third rate story brightened here and there by amusing dialect. With type on but one side of a page, it was a great thing to sketch on. So after a quick one at the bulletin board, we were all set to bounce into class for a snooze, or what did you do? 19 The boys who really could define morphology, ontogeny, and phylogeny; refute Materialism with discoveries in empirical observation; and write theses for their degrees with titles sesquipedalian and unpro- nouncable were the medicine men, the biologists, the chemists, and the physicists who came early and stayed late. Systematized knowledge, however, was not restricted to those distilling smatters of attars; it required something of a science to lift those cvit slips before Mickey cutely opened the door and beamed, taking it from the clip. The best time to do it was one of those things you either knew or did not know, and for that reason no one has aia infallible theory to pass on to posterity. Once in a great while, it was a treat to wander along the distichous treed mall to the Library where we looked in the dictionary to find out what the word we just used meant, or to sit and listen to the turnstile voice disapproval in intermittent series of clicks. 11 Browsing around the alcoves, one could always find plenty of volumes, Greek in characters or in impression. Speaking of Greek (this is merely a cute way of transition) we remember the famous production of Antigone at Alumni Field when rich brogues floated into the stands and some of our best he-men were disguised as the nicest looking girls we had ever seen. Continuing the classical revival, which has made Boston College unique and envied, Shakespeare ' s Tim on of Athens was presented, unearthing dur- ing its three-night run, the amazing pitching arm of one Tom McDonald as displayed in the dish-hurling episode. In the storming of the stage door as the curtain fell, there may have been some big league scouts along with the return- ing alumni. The dramatists well de- served the praise they received and the only one we were sorry for was Stratford Will to whom actuality dealt a crushing blow and made him unable to answer the cry, Author! Author! [254] Emmet Lavery was quick to praise the Dramatic Club for the premiere of his Second Spring ; the public liked it and demanded repeat performances after Easter; and the college prided itself on its greatest success in the theatre. The presentations of John Henry Cardinal Newman ' s life, as interpreted by the popular author of First Legion, were masterful pieces of expression, bring- ing to the caustic leer, talents that few had imagined. Oxford accents with quivering mustachios, and Dublin ac- cents with a dash of Scottish burr, and Roman accents out of T. A. Daly ' s Madrigali sprang from the lips of Scholastic dialecticians who fled back in character to the time of St. Philip ' s Oratorian and the First Provincial Synod at Oscott. Back stage activity makes a perfor- mance as amusing as the production be- hind the footlights is inspiring. Ed Rooney called to see what happened to the Fencing team. The application of make-up with the professional touch, and inwardly struggling groups waiting for their cue revealed the tenseness and thrill of first-nighters. [255] The Tower clock with the happy faculty of seeing front and rear has sounded at least 1,600,000 times over the heads of the ' 39 men, reminding them of a lecture now, a free hour then. The tocsin for the unfinished blue- booker, the relief for the bored, the curse for the 9:14:30 dashmen, the sweetest music for the oral examinee, the signal for the gourmet, the fag and shag fiends, the bass-tongued applause of t he chimes had a versatile career at once indis- pensable and vmnoticed. There was a photograph we saw in which the same face smiled forth from both ends and the middle, but that was a panorama. The case of Joe McCarthy is a bit different. He enjoyed his orange juice with a raw egg as We ' ve Come a Long Way Together sized up the situa- tion from the record, but like a little gnome with double exposure he was chanting from the illuminated missal, given to the college by Pope Pius XII on his 1936 visit to Boston, when Bucci rushed in to find out what ubiquity was. Personally, we always got along very well with the dean and found no occasion to test the crushability of our hats, but it seems that Koz had other ideas or was in the process of formulating them when he was caught on the plush upholstered settee. Once inside the office, recently done over in the pastel delicacy of Spring ' s first green, you could usually tell what mood had vanished when you brought your displacement tonnage through the doorway by the telltale finger marks on the desk and the temperature of the consulting throne. Nervousness left moist whirls on the smooth top and warmth on the very edge of the leather cushion. Confidence left no morning ' s dew on the surface, but on the back of the chair, the full, relaxed impression of shoulders carefree and bereft of burden. The forgetful patrons of the Reference library did not escape detection when their bid was called, but the lad with the Leica never received Father Maxwell ' s compliments for playing his hand so well at the Majestic. The Alumni Field seats are seats of a different color, to be sure, but they are just about the most polite things we ever knew. Staunchly standing these several years so that we could sit down causes us to believe no greater manners has any man than he stay upright from South Section to Fields Corner. A thankless job it is, until the idlest dream of the architect experiences finite life in a 50 yard line seat plan stretching to eternity. Amid all his other obligations as Student A. A. president, Jim Kelly had to look from his lofty box on the 10 yard line across the white dividing stripe to keep an eye on Gil Dobie and Paul MacKinnon, who remained im- mobile as the band played For Boston in some undiscovered corner of Kenmore square. Ed Guthrie was able to find Yawkey ' s horsehide corral every time, he never made the mistake of marching into the Green Pagoda or into Sears basement like that Holy Cross drum major could easily have done when he tossed back his Busby and headed in the general direction of the side-line stands. And then directly beneath the dean ' s and the registrar ' s offices there was a grilled barrier where you knocked many times, presented your book and said, Hey! Hey! Jake sent me. So you got your money down on the first place at higher leer and wondered if you had been caught faking a N.Y.A. slip the way they looked at you. In spite of the im- personalizing haste and confusion at ticket time, the silver trophies up on the shelf always had a smile for you, though some had lost their brilliance before the advent of Irium and Lustrefoam. The Penn Relays plaques represent serious plodding on the cinders and on the boards with the polished results that have marked Ryder-trained runners these many years, as much a character- istic as the gray fair-weather topper of Gil ' s kept in a special bandbox. The winter track period has always been a difficult time because the lads have to shovel out the boarded loop and invoked parental wrath when they were too tired to extract the homestead from the cold grasp of icy precipitation. The Field House will stop that, Yessir. Similar to tiie iiigiiiy seasoned sausages carried over in Saturday ' s surplusage to Monday ' s menage, a wee bit of grillery left over from A. A. Office imprison- ments, plugged into the door frame, neatly bisected in the fashion of a Dutch entrance was called the athletic supply room. Not taking any stock in such truck, we found out in our agent ' s re- port that Larry Kenny has tossed more towels at the ring, or more accurately at the yell, than Mike Jacobs, has mended more torn pants than Tarzan ever dreamed of. Football, hockey, baseball, track, with boxing for good measure kept him busy, but he always found time to listen to the 1 :20 Club with Frank Jones. Up from the locker room deep with song, George went to see how many of his takes took. Father Fay was not explaining the Holy Trinity so the Metonymy magnolia fancier got back for the last chorus. The shower song- sters were good, but the Glee Club had strength in union and harmony in con- cord, as they enjoyed one of the best seasons in years. wiiciiufii On the 20th of January of their big year, the Seniors knocked over a Psych mid-year; left six bits at Joe ' s for to n- sorial touch-and-go; priced orchids at Penn ' s; bought sweet peas at Boylston subway; appropriated a fin; a collar button named Slug, two cuff links, the front door key, the felicitations of Aunt Fanny, and that for which they were grateful — the tankful of petrol, called for Penelope at Park street, to attend a small gathering at the Copley Plaza presented by the Philomatheia. Up the carpeted risers, past the swaying palms in the foyer, before Merle Carey they stood resplendent in formality. Shag and Schottische, Truck and Two- Step blended in a panorama of swirling figures beneath an aura of redolence that hurried Spring blooms months in ad- vance. Long and joyously they danced to the ' society rhythms of Ruby New- man, interspersed here and there, by tunes that struck the spark of recog- nition in us all, but brought delight to those who could remember when the saxophone was used only in a military band. Assisting the women ' s committee for the Annual Supper Dance of the Philo- matheia Club given for the Senior class at Boston College, the Misters Casey, Carey, Coughlin, Buxton, and Hyland acquitted themselves admirably in behalf of the students. The Grand March in the accepted military style should stand Merle in good stead when he packs off his belongings to the Hud- son Palisades in July and takes up life among the embryo war strategists at West Point. It was a colorful affair all the way, showered with gay colored balloons that floated down from the ceiling to have their faith in human charity exploded by spurning heels until it sounded like the Garden the night the Bruins took the Rangers. Just about mealtime the lights were extinguished, not discreetly, because the servings were large enough to be up that late at night, but to make an impressive entrance of Les Gargons bearing the dessert course on dimly glowing trays. We had such a good time that we forgot to wonder if the Philo- matheia had a good time, also. They must have had, if our enjoyment was included in the consensus of appreciation. 11 ■■ illl As the lads from Worcester would have it, our dances after the Cross game have a batting average of .250 as true victory affairs. Since we recall a great time in Sophomore when Eagle power plays crushed Holy Cross after spotting the Crusaders twelve points and Fella Gintoff scored twice with Tony DiNatale converting for the margin of victory on a snowy 29th of November, our death will be happy. The outcome was not in favor of the Eagle in 1939, but it was a good game and we had a good time at and after Bill Ozmanski ' s field day. With classmate Lou Sacco on the Im- perial stage and his sweet music wafting through the room we delighted in at the Junior Prom, the Seniors made the most of the situation and introduced the class song, Meistersingers Baldi, Cronin, Kilduff, and Hammond showing their mouth-tops, and their identifica- tion lapel buttons from the front row. The Cross and Crown Under the Tower social was also on our calendar, the date encircled for remembrance of a well spent evening. Vin Cahalane, formally was recognized chairman, mate- rially we recognized him as the man behind the counter, lacking a white Mother Hubbard only, the perfect host. [263] At the intersection of Frazier avenue, connecting the Scientific Center, and Sullivan Circle in the down-Tower restaurant district, you could find office workers all hours of the day and night. The Sub Tukri niche, featuring Phil Harmonic Thompson, the one-man band, and a bustle, often misinterpreted as creative activity, shared the same mice as the Heights, the weekly organ con- sidered by many as being inflamed and in need of surgical legerdemain, put up with the same restrictions in the good name of quiet, and exchanged type- writers like old friends. The Stylii.i crew, removed as a precautionary quar- antine measure to the rarefied atmos- phere of the third strata, concocted their best work of the year in the satirical one-acter Murder on the Depths, ex- coriating the handicapped journalistic set-up at the college. Mr. Quinn and his motley band of yogis had a great thing. After seeing the Playshoppers have their night on the 17th of March with terse bits of drama like October Lyric, we regretted that Tom did not ride up on his bicycle and announce that the Murder would per- mit public scrutiny, so truthful was it in its exaggeration, so brilliant in its composition. Far from the saddening mob, seques- tered in oriel-windowed splendor, a telephone at their command, the actors held forth in the Dramatic office of the Library, reviewing past successes, plan- ning future hits. Mr. Rooney looked at the files, Mr. Driscoll relayed the findings to the bated breath on the other end of the wire. Yes, go ahead with the order! Four plain, make mine with nuts! And a weekday was changed to Sundae, peace reigned, and we got the picture. Another attractive office was that of the Sodality where Father Rooney and the lecture committee made the arrange- ments for presenting the best speakers available. One such was the talk by Father Dillard, noted French Jesuit editor, lecturer, and organizer. Catholic Action found staunch champions at Boston College and the students were never without the best, in advice, in- struction, and means of practice. Com- munism was taken over the coals by the lecture teams that toured the East, but the one we shall always remember is Father J. F. X. Murphy, who made history his diet and served it to eager multitudes. Familiar with the rostrum, he won us all. Aha, he said as the flash went off, just as I thought. Water ! Walking ma There are few things of more common occurrence than walking away; and yet we do not recollect that much has been theorized upon the subject. We de- clare, when we consider to what unproductive and macaronic particulars the at- tention of writers and readers has been directed, we are amazed that no one has been found to traverse so momentous a matter as this, and attempt to give man- kind an explanation of the practice and proficiency of walking away. It is a topic on which we have ourselves speculated a good deal, and we ask pardon to forward a few remarks on the origin of the custom, and the various manners in which it is carried out. The ancients, we have discovered, when they came to this business of de- parture, turned their backs but they did not walk away; and although we read frequently that Caesar or Hamlet left the scene on foot, we do not remember that they went apart quietly. They pursued the haughtier procedure of arranging their train or fleeing, which has not entirely disappeared among civilized adults in America, and royalists on the Continent, and has undoubtedly the advantage in the case of discretion. We are inclined to think that the custom developed in the ages of the universities, when the flowing black gown, in which the graduates were shrouded, hindered their flight; and when, with quaking limbs clothed in shiny serge, the haste would have revealed livid stains of a class day strawberry sundae; so that a decorous amble was a natural conclusion; and as it would have been senseless to continue this gait with cleansers monopolizing the party line, a brief period of dignity might have been normally evolved. Just how long this practice remained in an incipient stage of development is something the historians and comedians of manners will have to establish. Denying ourselves therefore of the privilege of evolutions to propound by imagination in the lack of historical testimony or scientific fact, we lyrically leap to the cataloguing of these manners : 1. The sigh-of-relief walk is one of the most impressive. It is eflfected by grasping the diploma firmly in the right hand, showing them you bought a ring in anticipation, and suddenly relaxing your shoulders, through a total precipitate of six inches, for about one-half a second. To have the picture, power, and provo- cation, this movement should be noticeably unnoticed. No attempt at emphasiz- ing should be made because you do not want to become used to it since the work, or lack of it, after commencement will be a far greater burden. Now, turn firmly and beam, pucker up and whistle if you must, so long as you did not do it before, no one will stop you at this point. Walk away easily and take your seat without further expression of exuberance. That will come later. 2. The I-deserve-it walk may be mentioned next as being somewhat of a compl ete contrast in character; but having the same specific purpose. It is ef- fected by rising two names before your own is called and moving briskly toward [269] the platform where you whisk the sheepskin from the bestower ' s fast-tiring hand and return. The face should not change expression, being a matter of fact, since you did all the outside reading and really completed the course. The only cau- tion in its use which needs particularly to be given, is not to forget that you have graduated, because the Alumni Association would not be pleased at that. 3. The am-I-lucky walk is one the most popular and most frequently re- garded. It deserves its name from the vernacular of the enroUee who had his thesis accepted after a struggle and got the nod in the orals. It is effected by clasping the parchment in the left hand and fervently clutching the hand of the donor in a grip that expresses gratitude of its very nature. This is doubtlessly one of the most touching of all exits, with the bachelor ' s immediate kin in the stadium cheering to the echo, realizing that four less payments-due will choke their mail slot and that the family car will be home at least during the daylight to assist at the marketing. Of course, each individual manner causes a catch in the throat, but to see that happy face decapitated by a nimbus as the trunk rapidly and mechanically seeks escape, has ever been the solace and the inspiration of freshmen. 4. The nervous walk is not entirely monopolized by the sweet girl graduates. It cannot be accurately described, but it is constantly practised. The shaking- like-a-leaf starts as soon as the candidate reaches the college through the express intervention of aromatic hartshorn spirits and a promise, continuing in intensity until the rapping of the knee bones has the tender sound of a persistent wood- pecker. But the externals are concealed, as stated above, from profane and un- sympathetic gaze by the gown. The first few steps are the hardest; the retrace- ment is negligible if you say to yourself, It didn ' t hurt at all. I took gas. We could go through a list, the artistic, the scientific, the educational, and flair fatale, being fabricated combinations of the four fundamental forms. What- ever method you prefer will have little weight with the advocates of the return of the peripatetic school; and yet there is a definite philosophy of commencement carriages that may one day be included in the cultural knowledge of the well- rounded man. Whether you walk up for your diploma in any one of these fashions, the thing that counts is the manner in which you walk away. There have been, and will be those who leave the college with the sincere intention of keeping in touch with its activities and of preserving the friendships cultivated during their four years at Chestnut Hill. Others will depart to continue their studies in higher schools or in the professions. Some few will drop from sight and sound in a world that all too often robs us of our most cherished contacts. In all walks of life, we fondly trust that you will carry with you the knowledge and leave with us the promise that Boston College men will stick together always.

BURNS INC DRESS CLOTHES for HIRE 125 Summer Street BOSTON American Standard of Living 1 TAJOR role in raising the living standard of the average American family to what the rest of the world envi- ously terms The American Standard of Living, has been played by the chain store industry. Comparatively recent in its development, chain store merchandis- ing spread most rapidly in the United States after the World War, when there ai ' ose a demand for better goods at lower costs. It ' s a far cry, for instance, from the old dusty cracker barrel days to this era of sanitary packaging — of refrigerated transportation of fresh fruits, dairy products, vegetables, meats and fish — of scientific production and preservation of healthful foods. It ' s a far cry from the days when the farmer hawked his wares in neighboring villages to today ' s chain food store system of offering produce, fresh and crisp from every section, in every nook and cranny of the land — of bringing practical farm relief, by level- ling gluts and surplusses, when relief is needed most. Quantity buying, direct from the pro- ducer, eliminating unnecessary costs of multiple handling, smaller profits on a greater mass of sales, scientific distribu- tion and precision-like organization pos- sible only in large scale operations — these are tlie factors tliat bring tre- mendous savings to the consumer. It is estimated that chain store mer- chandising methods last year saved American consumers an aggregate of nine hundred million dollars on the necessities and luxuries of hfe. Today there is hardly a home in America that does not take advantage, in whole or in part, of chain store economies. Here is overwhelming endorsement of the chain stores by the great mass of buyers who comprise the citizenship of America — evidence of the importance they place upon this nine hundred million dollar saving which, viewed in the light of the individual family, means advan- tages in life that would not otherwise be enjoyed — more plentiful and more nour- ishing food, more money for proper medical cai ' e, education or recreation, than their incomes would otherwise buy. Here is overwhelming evidence that millions of housewives will not stand by and witness passively the efforts of a minority to saddle on the ultimate con- sumer a burden of punitive chain store taxes that would wipe out the differential between the costly old order of things, and present-day methods. They will not give up the American Standard of Living. A P Food Stores DONOVAN SULLIVAN ENGRAVING CO. LIBERTY 8711-2-3-4 470 ATLANTIC AVENUE «  BOSTON, MASS.
