A N N U A L l 9 3 6 0 0 Second Year - Section Une E never fully realized the flight of time until last September when we found ourselves in Second year. Nothing can be accomplished without leaders, therefore, we elected lohn Gallagher, president, and Gerard Duffy, secretary. Since we were not strangers to one another, the class soon became well acquainted once more. lt is our ambition to visit Bunker Hill, our pet historical spot. We like all countries ruled by a King because he is our favorite monarch. But we are not all as silly as we seem. There are a few geniuses among us-Gin- nane, McDonnell, Fogarty, and McGuiness. This quartet is in constant de- mand, especially when a difficult problem in Geometry arises or when we do not understand Caesars English. Then again, out of our number came one who may be termed a pioneer His name is Warren Koch. He made a suggestion one day that a Stamp Club he established and it was taken up and put into effect. Koch was elected its first president. Another thing of which our class is proud is that we have players on all the school teams. Comerford represented us on the Prep, while Bibler, Bergin, Brogan, and Gallagher were stars on the I. V. Ruddy was among Father McLees' Midgets. Then, too, our class team was among the top ranking ones. Now that we have finished this brief picture of our class, we must offer our thanks to our professors. So, until next year, 2B-l bids you farewell. ROBERT I. ODONNELL, '4U. Second Year - Section Two XTRAl Farmer-No Labor Party Abolishedl Yes, kind reader, that's how our school year opened. The Farmer-No Labor Party which favored the fusion of the offices of vice-president and secretary was dissolved by the Pre- fect of Discipline. The charge against them was this: 'Whereas the officers of class 2B-2, Messrs. Counihan and Murphy, are commuting hicks from the sticks and have neglected to dismiss classes to catch the 3:05. They are hereby relieved from official duties. Did this mean that in the future all commuters were disqualified from holding class offices? Immediately, a riot arose among the rest of the hicks, but it was soon quelled by the majority party, the city slickersf' McHugh, Campbell, and Roland were finally elected. Our athletic endeavors were crowned with great success. Our class basketball team, composed of Ryan, Pryor, Roland, Lawrie, Watson, Reehl, Dilgen, Sullivan, Blake, Cabisino, and Tansi, simply couldn't resist laying aside those seniority rules and privileges to win the championship in the inter-class basketball tournament. On the final deciding game with fourth year they showed outstanding courage even though all the odds were against them. Not only have we been prominent in athletic achievements but we have excelled also in classroom feats. No, we're not boasting about our high LQ. 1 ROBERT V. BOUBEAU, '4O. 71

ATI-IEDRAL COLLEG CREDO The lamp of night hung high above the hills And hovered o'er the quiet fields below, The twinkling stars shone down upon the rills, While clouds passed by like spectres, stately, slow. Alone in all that solitude and peace The unbeliever gazing up with awe, In silent contemplation could not cease To marvel at the wonders that he saw. For he beheld the order and the force That governs every sun and moon and star And gleaming counstellation in its course, And guides the reins oi planets, near and far. And then, o'erwhelmed, he dropped upon his knee And Whispered, God, I do believe in Thee. FRANCIS MURPHY, '37 THE HORIZON The sparkling sea, Gray sand, blue sky, Attracted me As I passed by. I think that where Clouds touch the deep, A man, right up To God, could leap. CARL W. DENGEL, '37. YZ
