301 Max Levine, A.M. Frnich Dcjuni ninit Head 1915 — ad luidtos (unios “Alirai s st) ' irc to do h( ff( r thoD mere pass-irork. The Latin Scho(d training has given gon the goirer; nse it.” Owing to the natural superiority ( f the “Better Boys, Room :;01 once again proved to be tlie outstanding homeroom of Sehola Latina. The students of French and Oreek led all other rooms in scholarships, prizes, and s])ecial awards. Our room motto was “Next year at Harvard.” The conhnes of 301 still echo with the sly. subtle witticisms of Rothenberg; and many a 301’er was heard to say, “Where’s Ladoulis now?” Carney Gavin, our ambassador to 306. was often heard orating or chuckling at IMr. Dolan’s dry humoi-. We still have the desk Joe Mooney wrecked during a history test and the memories of such illus- trious characters as “Beauvine.” Dick Segal, and his treatise on “The Mating Habits of the Australian Ants;” Tvlike Xieland, roving p’notog- rapher; and Nick Dushku and his memorable rendition of “To be or not to be.” Desi)ite our superior self-exi)ression. we still are indebted to our excellent masters. Few of us will forget the “Pi-ca-yu-nishin-co- he-ren-ces” of Mr. Russo or IMr. Dolan’s British-.style humor. We can still hear “Muzzey” saying. “Don’t ori v aln)ut a te.st : ahem, just keep your notebooks up to date:” or IMr. Carroll: “Engineers make good money . . . P rench interi)reters : mmm, very little demand for ’em.” To our homeroom ma.stei’, Mr. Le ine, we are especially grate- ful for his ceaseless efforts to teach us “the greatest French story of all time” and to make us “an exam])le for all other homerooms to follow.” Class Scribe: DAVID SPIEL

302 FRANCIS PATRICK HENNESSEY, A.B., Ed.M. Mathematics 1929 — ad midtos annos “Be Kiucerc.” Before we — the country-clubbers of 302 — leave for the Nation- al Open Golf Tournament, let us put down our golf-bags and recall for a moment the masters that made life pleasant in our last year at B.L.S. First of all, we offer our sincere thanks to Mr. Hennessey, who was not only a diligent math teacher, but also a patient counselor of the class. Can any one forget his daily greeting: “Did you get your ticket?” Although none of the “Americans of 214” ever got a chance at the $64, 000-question for their knowledge of American history, they will never forget Queen Liliuokalani of Ha-wa-ya. Nevertheless, Mr. Nemzoff has our nomination for the Nobel Prize, since he is the only man who can get 2000 “catch-words” from a 1500-word chapter. We extend our deepest appreciation to “Mr. Science Fiction”; for, while several of the “amiable bandits” had to settle for Harvard, at least no one — not even “The Agitator” — ended the year “hunched- backed.” Although impeded by his rigid bedtime schedule, Mr. Locke finally succeeded in enlightening the class as to whose face launched those thousand ships. — Whose? P-A-I-COS’S. Finally, let us recall the “old man on the bridge.” Although all the “buckeroos” and “ginks” found his physics test a challenge, they didn’t compare with those “pea-soiq) fogs” in which some one stole “Nate” Brown’s pants. . . . It’s all over now but the shouting. Class Snihes: TIM PHFLAN LARRY PFRLMUTER P.S. We sincerely hope that Frank’s frost-bite is much better.
