A N N U A L l 9 3 6 ' ' Fourth Year- Section Two Y this time, dear reader, you have probably become very suspicious about the purpose of this book. Surely, you say, so fine a book is not merely to tell us about such a tribe of hoocllums as those fellows in sixth year! This ANNUAL must have been designed with a greater, a nobler view in mind. And, indeed, your suspicions are correct. What has gone before is but an introduction to the recital of the stirring, not to say lurid, history of Class 4B-2. - lf you were to ask any Cathedralite about 4B-2 a strange light would come into his eyes and he would exclaim, Ahl There's a class for youl lt's so-so- so- And thus he would go on searching for an adjective to epitomize the spirit that is 4B-2's. We have learned a lesson from our predecessors and there- fore we shall not commit ourselves by making too specific charges. But this is neither hither nor thither, so let us proceed to the business at hand. You can never fully appreciate our class until you have become ac- quainted with its most famous member-Sharpy Cuneen. Cuneen is a news- paper columnist in disguise, whose observations of the goings on in the world of men's fashions are sought after by thousands. We are all eagerly awaiting the publication of a volume of his memoirs entitled l DRESS AS l PLEASE- THE SAGA OF A Sl-lARPY. Mr. Cuneen has confessed that he considers the chapter entitled Who Sets the Fashions for Men and How l Do lt quite the best thing he has done to date. Another renowned man of the class is Matt Flood, litterateur and groveller extraordinary. Like all great men, Matt has a few little eccen- tricities, such as soliciting members for his Grovellers Club, and asking first year children their opinions on intricate literary questions. Flood has gained great renown by starting the mania for chess, now one of Cathedrals most popular pastimes. Then, too, there's Calderwood, the CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIAS only rival. On questions concerning church affairs, especially religious orders, Calderwood is an undisputed authority. Amesse, the class cut-up, is always ready with a hair-raising joke and is continually causing disturbances in his corner of the room. Red is never quiet for one minute and Geiss' peaceful slumbers are often interrupted by his noisy seat-mate. This is an intolerable situation, for Geiss must have his rest so that he may be in perfect trim for next Wednesday, when he will be kept busy answering questions about the Physics experiment. Without Geiss we would never be able to complete the experiment. We come now to the real he-men of the class-the athletes. Our pres- ident, Artie Fitzgerald, has distinguished himself on the court this year. The class also contributed O'Neill, the star center, and Danny O'Connell. These boys are getting ready to do in baseball as much as they have done in basketball. We behold the final exams bearing down upon us. And so with the rest of the boys we scurry off to our books.
