ANNUAL 1',936-- Fourth Year-Section Une HE fellows in our class have been very busy this year. For instance, many have become poets. Aided and abetted by the English professor, they have written verses about Yvonne and the Statue of Liberty and other sweet and tender subjects. Our foremost poets are limmy Duignan, who writes romantic and comical verses, and Sammon, who prefers odes. Sandy Murdock also wrote good poetry, and he writes prose in the style of the author of the Pickwick Papers. One of the foremost members of our class is Guigliano, our representative of the Society for War and Fascism. Guilie spends his time defending Mus- solini and trying to show how ltaly is civilizing Ethiopia. No account of 4B-l would be complete without mention of Senator Sam- mon. When the Senator is not working he does his best to keep law and order in the classroom. I-lis hobby is breaking desks. Leo Elmhurst Byrne suffers from a dearth of inspiration since he has been separated from Friend McGann in the Greek class. Little Leo and Friend McGann differ on politics. McGann leads the Anti-Roosevelt forces. His co-mates are: Hunt, Sammon, Buetow Cpride of Hicksvillel and Lucchi the Silent Republican. These brave little Minute Men are the only defenders of the G. O. P. against the scurrilous attacks of Little Leo and his young Demo- crats. Cur newest and sharpiest athlete is Iimrny CPatD Duignan. Paddy has looked like biblical Ioseph in his coat of many colors ever since he made the baseball team. Iimmy Gannon is the guy who made things hot on the courts of the competitors for the C.H.S.A.L. basketball championship. Even Murdock was on the team, and President Tom Daly was the team's business manager. Captain Kelly of the swimming team has promised waterwings to all who join up with his team. Well, well, don't tell me Tom Donohue needs water- wings. Hudson is the man we all dodge. I-le collects the Propagation money for the Chinese and Abyssinians. At other times he monopolizes the handball court with Knickman and Giggles Rooney. Rooney is an awful cutup. When will he stop giggling and making awful puns? David is disgusted with such capers because he cannot hear Brennan's asides with Rooney's noise. U Now that the pin oaks on Washington Avenue are putting out their leaves, Lucchi leaves his desk between each period to gaze out of the window at the spring-like sight. His newest opus, L'Uccisione nella Biblioteca fThe Murder in the Libraryj, an opera in twelve acts, is the product of his own and Knick- man's genius. Knickman's collection of theatre programs is increasing and multiplying. l-le has worked out his own Decimal Classification System for programs, and those contributing to his collection can now be assured that whatever they give will be duly classified and preserved. - L. BYRNE, '38-B. BRENNAN, '38. 55
