THE PATCHER is essentially the work of students, not of men in their maturity, and doubtless contains much that in after years would be omitted. The major portion of the book is con- servative in tone, and since it is characteristic of THE PATCHER admits of little variation. In several respects, however. THE PATCHER is undergoing a gradual evolution, and it is trusted that the new features introduced by the Board of Editors have contributed materially to its worth and beauty. As a class book, THE PATCHER is of particular interest to the students, and to them we can but express a sincere wish that it not only serve as a storehouse for the memories of many happy hours spent together, but that it shall to a greater extent prove its worth, when, as with Holmes, hand in hand, we go down the Long Path of Life together.

DINAND, S. J PRESIDENT vwwzffk 'M ' Un GD111' Hrnfrznnrn 9' T is eminently fitting that we should yield the first place in our book to J those who have these four years exercised so vital an influence over our education. There exists between student and teacher that un- breakable bond, which is forged only between those who have lived, labored and toiled together. Added to this is the student's appreciation of the peculiar position of the teacher at Holy Cross: wherein he daily observes the lives of devotion and self-sacrifice to religion and education. Our college days, the formative period of our lives and character, have stamped indelibly upon our minds the memory of those who have, with such indefatigable zeal warmed with cupped hands the flower of Education into Life.

En the Svrninrz 31N a retrospect of the many long hours spent in perfecting and polishing THE PATCHER, it would not seem amiss to here confide to our readers the reasons which inspired the motives which directed the policy of the Board of Editors. THE. PATCHER is a Senior Book. Senior Life and Senior Activities are almost its sole topics. and, consequently, the prospective graduate is the only one in a position to understand its spirit. The individual write-ups, comprising the most important as well as the most dif- licult part of the book, have, without a doubt, exceeded our best efforts to avoid dullness and lack of variety. This defect may be considered as inevitable, however, and accentu- ated by the unusual length of the write-ups and by the rigid censorship to which they have been continually subjected. Considerable freedom has been exercised in the make-up of the book. The various subjects have been collected and divided into three separate departments. Here an eye has been kept to those topics which would prove of greatest interest and importance. As a parting word, it has been found expedient to append an index to this book. Surely, so integral a part in any book cannot fail in appreciation or usefulness. . l9I6 AS FRESHMEN I9I6 AS SoPHoMo1u-:s - .-ae., 'r- I . -4 f F , '.- ',4svf- -, .1-V -, ..i, - , M, ,, q ' ' ' ' ' 1 ,I lr' .w. -, ..

In all this panegyrlzlng and rhapsocllzmg of class celebrities, col- lipsl F 4 lege curios and favorite sons, struck softly and agreeably on the tympa- num', it is easy to tune the lyre and sing sweetlyXand feelingly of so ' Will i prominent a character as Bill Allen. Willie hails from far off I 1' l l l l Orange, N. J., which, youthful-like, he asserts to be a perfect symphony l r if of sunshine and flowers in which there is not a discordant note. No, 5 gentle reader, he is not direct heir of the historic William of Orange. lm 5 Q He is just plain Willie. ' I lll Cl Four years ago Willie was placed as the alphabetical leader of l P i l the class list. Since then he has earned his right to that position for many . M jail Q other reasons. As a general favorite among the fellows of all classes ll E i since our debut at H. C. Willie has no equal. Besides the class boasts of no better musician than l Drummer Bill, and when it comes to singing, he is par excellence. It will take a long time to blot out 4, l the memory of DeilKicl's efforts in this regard in Worcester and the near vicinity- li i p lj There are many in the class intellectually as great as Bill , many of surpassing ability: but there is no one so genuinely good-naturedg no one so sincerely well liked. For who could resist that i winning ll smile, that baby face, that cute expression? Certainly not the femininity of ' H9 Nw I this locality, the Heart of the Commonwealth. And this despite his dif- J'?Tjf ' lil ficulty in persuading fair ones he was actually a Senior. His association is 'V , A, ' ' i . of the most agreeable natureg his friendship of the most practical kind. f Perhaps the outstanding feature of a well-balanced character is his aptitude I2 -7' X for Pfoportioning work and recreation. i A I nga,--,I Altho' this is no wise to be .regarded as a memoriam nevertheless kwin! l we cannot help express a little feeling of regret as we take leave of B1ll. U iw! Brute and Willie are two names which will linger in our minds long Juli Eg after Commencement Day. Inseparable as they were in college, insepar- QQC'-'fifiiz Mi' able will they be in recollection. We will not gamble here on Bill's future, but of one thing he may be assured, whatever be the path he takes, -Lflvg B J MU f KN he will have the good faith and best wishes of every one of us. to -1 l I V' 1 - ' .

F. , To this affable hve feet and four inches of humanity is due the credit of having put Washington Depot on the map of the Nutmeg ljf Commonwealth. Frankly we were ignorant of its mere existence before it was our happy lot to rub elbows with George. Thanks, however, to l l ' his eulogistic powers we are now not only aware of its existence but we 5?-1 l have come to have a high regard for the little Connecticut community. p His stature Cwhich could well be called Napoleonic, did it not lack the equatorial bulge which every devotee of the brush and palette unfailingly attributes to the Conqueror of Europe, might prompt you to designate him a little mite. We, however, who know him intimately would extend the meaning of your epithet by designating him a little , might. ' Since his Freshman year he has displayed a seemingly uncanny MM , ? ability in overcoming the successive obstacles of our curriculum. Latin., Greek, Chemistry, Psychology and Ilill l Biology are like so many low hurdles in his path. , George glories in a detailed map of the Dardanelles hanging in a conspicuous place upon the walls of l l l l his sanctum, which circumstance furnishes some slight indication that he is not exactly Anti-German in his i i views on the World War. i i lil! ix , The fact that he is attempting to master the mysteries of Biology and 3' gf! ml the intricacies of Organic Chemistry, coupled with the fact that we not ,Q2ffgg,,35-.Zfffs.if- , l 1 infrequently find him poring over medical catalogues, clearly indicates that E he is contemplating a professional prefix to his name. In this calling we fl , ' I trust that he shall do honor to both' his college and to the Fatherland in ,iv , l fflllf l which he takes so much pride fnotwithstanding the abuses of Plymouth fir, llljl l , F Jisw' ll l ,l and of Holyokel.

If you don't be- 'llll lieve us, you have only to ask him about it, and incidentally ask tksee fill l that class picture that has hung in his room for four years at Holy Cross. L , i ' . I i k Brack has always proved a very conscientious student and many if I a time when we happened to be in the vicinity of his room, even late JL i i at night, we have seen his light still burning. ll I l It has often occurred to us that it would be far cheaper for him ll to purchase stock in the Boston and Worcester Street Railroad than to , pay so much fare and get no return from it. The conductors all know .MM . . . - 2 ' l him and can always tell Just what fare to take out when they see him 4 MM on their cars. , Mil' jim refuses to be convinced that North Adams was slighted by the Creator when He was perform- i ing His great work, though more than once he has been told that such was the case- '5 i It seems to us that by now Brack must be a fine pedestrian. For as a member of the famous quar- 'H tet he has taken many a walk down the street. We don't know whether the aforesaid quartet ever took it upon themselves to sing, but if they ever do then Jim will be, as ever, a potent factor in the same. i pm Jim's strength, or weakness, we don't know which we should term nj, J, it, is his devotion to the fair sex. A certain town not many miles outside . ',?j?gfbv--,gf itif I n 1.11 ,I ' i Worcester has been his rendezvous on many occasions.

Brawley! Brawley! Brawley! returns the fill-if l staccato as hats and banners fill the air and the onlookers dance about Nfl l in sheer exultation. The first thing a team did which wanted, to beat 7 Holy Cross was to get Brawley. Let us remark this was no easy task, and as play after play was broken up by this young giant's deadly 3 t t charges, some spectator would cry out the feelings of the multitude, There goes your whole team! t p Ketcham of Yale, Trumbull of Harvard and McEwan of West , i. . Point all did their-best to stop the well-nigh ubiquitous Brawley, and l li, ,for his brilliant work against these Big College stars Brawley was prominently mentioned as a candidate for ' All-American Center. p As an orator, we would rate Eddie's abilities second only to those he possesses as an athlete. It ,ip is not often we Find a man endowed with both these qualifications but, nevertheless, E.ddie's forceful elo- 5 ,tt i quence has often found vent in Fenwick, and often has he tickled our fancy with a particularly pleasing l recitation. In Junior he appeared in the College play, As You Like It. -'QL if i ij As a student. we remember Ed since Freshman. As soon as the p 6.30 bell rang he would tear up to his room in the O'Kane. First of all l il ,E his coat would come off, then his collar and tie. Finally, so hot would the K, ?f' fix iw i race become that 'he would Hit into Mr. Siggins' room in his undershirt, lr, 4 tl' t begging him to solve some mystery in Latin or Greek. 1 i V Though physically a giant, Brawley has always acquitted himself as ,lit l i a perfect gentleman, and in the passing of the Class of l9l6 H. C. loses in rf H ll a' l Ed Brawley one of the linest athletes that has ever defended her honor 5 X on the football field.

But to our way of thinking it should have been Edmund. And this because we doubt with the gravest of grave doubts if, at the tender age of one and twenty years, the Burke, so famous in Irish History, could have shown a greater aptitude for things polemic than our own embryonic orator from Clinton-the Covernor's town. Nay--even if by some weird power of necromancy we were to recall from the murky Stygian realms the redoubtable Demosthenes himself-were we to grant him a handicap of two of the choicest pearly pebbles ever washed upon Hellenic shore we feel certain-as certain can be that the famous denouncer of Philip must needs succumb to the cogency of argument which Harry displays and the wealth of honeyed diction he summons at his mere beck and nod. ' Harry has had some delightful surroundings but his Senior year must take the prize. ln said year his room was situated between the typewriter on the one hand and the drip of running water on the other. Is it any wonder that he so often desired to cut third hour on Saturday to get away to quiet and peace- ful Clinton. I 5 Many profitable afternoons have been spent by Harry not only in -3 study but in increasing his capital. You may take our word that he was the boy who could make money work overtime and bring in returns. Besides being a good talker Harry is a student who possesses the ww if ability to surmount difficulties-a good mixer-and in connection with this of I last, let it be said, we have it on reliable authority that success in the world awaits him who proves himself a good mixer among his fellow men.

Blut to ,D l fl i George fame will never come from this last mentioned source. Through- Q ,- V out his course Razzle has been diligently searching for a means to il Q permanently remove certain suppurative protuberances which seem to L. l have a particular affection for his neck, but his every effort has been ill ' 1 counteracted. It would indeed seem an occasion for a holiday to see George when he did not have a boil to nurse. However, George is not a fellow who is after fame or honor, for ' he despises the glare of the lights as much as some men seek it. It would hardly seem apt to speak of George in other than a serious strain. Putting into practice the training of those happy days of Prep. his method of study has always been steady and ever guarded against the necessity of cramming. Every year has seen George out leading in class football practice. Ever ready, with plenty of pep, and spirit he has been a tower of strength on the team, and few were the gains made through our husky tackle. His popularity was indeed well shown in Junior, when Razzle became Vice-President of the A. A. The most remarkable trait in Papa's character is his devotion to those with whom he has been associated since early Prep, days. With unfailing constancy he has helped and has been helped by them. It was his especial pleasure to retire into the quietude of his own rooms, and with Jack and Dever and Brig prepare to revel in the enjoyment of the memories and reminiscences of the past. And, as is consistent with those with whom he associated, George has proven a steady and faithful student. Given to moderation in social pleas- ures, he could always be depended upon to do each day's work when it gif should have been done. We trust that this reliability, so characteristic of A him, shall later prove an invaluable asset. .if9, af., sy , ,v- Z' J, Z' -'WJYQXL iii 7 :F ' .fr SQ, I ii' 'lflllll . -M . f -47'aTE,:1? 3' Ill I Jn P X 'if SJW' is . .l. , ,, . , f Q1 if L ' e -e15lj91 JOSEPH E.

All admitted him to be an ideal comrade. And he was in point of fact, for Joe roomed by him- self that year and hence the peculiar virtues of his room-mate. 'Kingston, N. Y., claims joe and he returns the honor she bestows upon him by loyal rooting for everything Kingston, particularly for her basketball team, of which he keeps complete and exhaustive averages to discomfit anyone bold enough to question the Kingston brand l of the game. Can anyone tell what was Duffy Lewis' fielding percent- age in I9I2? No? Well. Joe can. Ask him and see. ,loe's ability to handle a baseball was given r:cognition when he was a successful candidate for the Freshman baseball team in l9l3. On that day of dsaster, also, when our much-heralded team went down before the cohorts of l9l5, did joe show his brawn as an athlete, and did all play as well as he, the victory must surely have been ours. In the old Dorm days Joe was a member of the Minute lVlen, which organization, it may be necessary to explain, detested sleep above all things. lts members carried their lives in their hands, so much so, in fact, that one of them might at any at J i ff , time be rendered hors de combat by a flying shoe or, as was once the case, by an errant step-ladder. M,-Y It would be unfair to sketch Joe's character and not give recognition ' to his worth as a student. Characterized particularly by earnestness and ' application, his work throughout his course, and especially in the Philosophy l i department, has repeatedly won the commendation of his professors and the , sincere admiration of all his fellows. U The time approaches for our last good-bye, and in parting with Joe we feel that the hand we grasp is a manly one-that the words he utters come from an honest heart. .Certainly this is sufficient praise for his past I -sufficient promise and recommendation for his future. r , l 1 ff. 4 lf. it Xly X!1lf T, jfs .- ,1 qt -4,17 'mf fl X hazy' XX! 4 . . .

Few could bear such responsibil- ill il ity and preponderance of dignity as gracefully as jack. Four years ago he made a wholly inauspicious descent upon these peaceful hills. Now he looms as large as a Zeppelin over London, or a submarine in the North Sea. Such is his record and such his activities, , that the well meaning critic attempting to pen a resume of his career f finds himself submerged. Imagination is stunned into activity, pencil moves futilely over paper-and finally he manages to speak. but only in superlatives and have recourse to the promidic piece dc resistance in expressing his delight. Any retrospect of Jack'sf' doings must be wholesome and impressive. West Springfield never had a better, Merrick a more devoted son. Never was there a discussion of the great cities of the universe that Jack did not edge in with a little Baedeker-boost dope about W. S. Really it is remarkable how he could enthuse over unique subjects. No one in school is more securely entrenched in the esteem of his gffm l it classmates than this same Jack, His sunny disposition has made him a , general favoriteg his warm and generous heart, sterling character and irre- l t l proachable deportment have marked him as a man's man: a fellow well ii t met. Today he stands a leader, universally admired and respected. M yjrr It is with genuine regret we take leave of Jack. He's what the I fellows would commonly term a prince.

CARNEY SPRINGFIELD, MAss. flFredYI His fofgcs! Oh, flow they lake Property Manager. Masque and Bauble Club in g it You've probably seen him dodging foul balls in the Fitton Field 1 V press-box, or perhaps you've seen him, pad in hand, following the plays on the gridiron. They tell us that there is only one thing which Fred 'Me' can cover more thoroughly than a ball game, and that is a Philosophical thesis. You will find him one of those earnest, prying, erudite students, who is not content with a superhcial knowledge of things. He is a gentleman, to be sure, but he does not stop at a gentleman's knowledge. It is rumored that he is a lady's man, nor does he stop at a lady's knowl- edge of things. He is one of those who must delve into the hair-splitting and even pin-sorting depths of an issue before he is satisfied that he has done both the issue and himself justice. Some one put it well in saying of him, If it's not a joke he's cracking, it's a smile. These are two of Fred's ' most valuable assets, and one is as effective an antiseptic for the blues as is the other. He can run off one line of witticism after another until you begin to misgive that you are witnessing a six-reel com- edY, and they come so fast that it is not surprising if the scene suddenly changes and you find yourself reading a tape with the ticker running riot. But Fred's quotations are always above par and those Original sparks of humor which he dispenses from time to time are, indeed, worthy of record, It would not be well to close l'7red's career without some reference ' ' to his great work as make-up man for the Senior Minstrel rendered at our second smoker. Bennie's room served as a dressing room and maybe Fred didn't fix up those faces to represent Corruption per se, lm- mortality, etc. The role of School Master in a sketch from Mac's Minstrels af- forded us our Hrst glimpse of Fred behind the footlights, and it was a PlC2iSir1g glimpse, rest assured. To us Fred's chosen course of life re- mains an unknown quantity, but we are not apprehensive on that account. We have weighed the qualities of this man of many parts and we feel that his future will be a literal fulfillment of the farewell words of Alma Mater ,. to her son, Agile in liosles-jam lauros refercnif' i , ,XX-fr I lt 1 1 HMM TWV NW WHT Wim Wit M5 HAM UVM!

However, we would release jack from a connection with any of these, for we can i l, it bear witness he is a very ordinary and diligent day-scholar, plodding i 11, day in and day out up the hill and directing all his best efforts to suc- lx I1 cess in his class work. To be proficient in study is one thing: to be proficient in sport is l another. Jack was so in both. He likes to perform a little stunt k :iff called-well we might say grip-wrestling.

While the rest of us fearfully mixed the differ- ent solutions, Jack, like unto ye ancient alchemist, filtered his way from the first to the ftfth group with the utmost assurance. ' k l For one reason in particular jack was glad he undertook the study of philosophy. This was be- hltta cause of his meeting in Minor Logic with the Porphyrian tree.

Harry was chosen as a photographer on the PURPLE i A PATCHER Board in Junior and no doubt the excellence of some of the snap-shots can be attributed to him. l He was a participant in lVlac's Minstrel Show in l9l5 and in the Senior Smoker in l9I6, and in that l i Capacity utilized his fine tenorflll voice in the rendition of Irving Berlin's latest ragtime hits. y i Like many another, Harry has improved his social opportunities at H.

Four years ago, it was, 'George came to us from, old La Salle of pleasant memory. Here it was, it may be mentioned, that he received the cognomen Becky, now so dear to us. When he becomes reminis- cent, George has a habit of telling of Far Rockaway and of Broadway, where he spends his summers, and of his home town, Pawtucket. Becky really loves Pawtucket, and justly so. In fact, one might ex- pect him to give the same reply as George Ade, when he was asked if they are the faster they come. Our Little Us, as he would term himself, has been noted for many things during his course, but particularly for his frequent resolu- tions and his literary tastes. He seemed to have a constitutional aversion to all worry when examinations were coming, and in this respect he proved himself similar to his old side- partner, Little Joe. Always the same imperturbed Becky, with his Bostonese twang and his Hello Boys! he is well qualified to be called one of the boys. Manya night has the gay Casino opened its arms to him, when studies would have been more in order. George is somewhat of a radical in politics and his I. W.

Four miles west of Boston is a small hamlet, by name Stoneham, and praise be to Stoneham for sending to our class the incomparable Arthur Couple-a-times Cogan. Arthur's middle name is popularity. He is a real good fellow, as generous and as free-handed as they make N them. Arthur's motto, Look at that for a birthday present! has passed into a watchword and is a lasting proof of the estimation in which he is held by his fellows. Whenever they see Arthur they think of that jar of Tuxedo. , As early as Freshman the gridiron was graced by Arthur's classic t form. Possessing enough weight to make two good sized footballists, he succeeded in getting into many games in his four years' experience, his V letters being awarded to him in Senior year. Nevertheless he did yeo- man service in strengthening the line and in aiding in the development of others in the squad. For be it from us to overlook reference to Divine Arthur's bout with Babe Donnelly. When all Conditions had been agreed upon, Father Rousseau unceremoniously broke up the assemblage and incarcer- ated the principals in Jug for the remainder of the afternoon. Arthur shone in the classrooms as a mathematician. Chemistry, Physics, Mechanics, so difhcult for the rest of us, were pipes for him. As a matter of fact, he was known as 1 V7 the brightest pupil in Father Coyle's class of Organic Chemistry. He liked nothing better than to get a puzzler that all others had laid aside and 'work it out. To all appearances he is to enter the field of mathematics and what '- Could he do to more advantage, since Nature has so well equipped him for such a career. The world of today is waiting for men such as he. Unlimited opportunities are offered to the Thinker and the Doer. To this class we nominate Arthur, andsincerely trust that his peculiar abilities shall not wait ln vain for the recognition and reward they so richly deserve. l Q . iz , l ll al M ti.. 1- .. time , i fs-' :ff XII f X11 f f X f x X I X '.,,,!X,-,l -1, -ws- IW if it tif lk' fi 3 kv! 1 , '- 1 l t . 1 1 I .A ,V ,iv f ' Ss 1 L f' gat! mini' ND, N V l a K Dian it if, q,lPi i 1.

It was upon this recognition at the second regular meeting of the Class of l9l6, called to arrange for our Freshman Banquet, that Frank proceeded to champion the rights of the f'day dodgers con- tingency, with the result that he served as its representative on the com- mittee which had our first annual feed in charge. This appeal for equal rights seems to have had an influence upon our subsequent activities: for every committee or board has had its just quota of non-resident mem- bers. And speaking of banquets-we cannot pass without comment that soul-stirring toast, Yesterday and Tomorrow, to which Frank re- sponded upon the occasion of our Sophomore repast at the Old Bay State House. His silvery tongue is the complement of a ready and eloquent quill, which he has trimmed on more than one occasion to the embarrassment of the college monthly. As a student of philosophy Frank is anything but superficial. The philosophical difficulties which he frequently puts forward are the result of a depth and originality of thought which few take the pains to cultivate. - ' . l , We saw ample proof of this in the frequent appearance of his name ff..

Frank Steadfast was his purpose and his friendsliipu Carried along on the crest of a wave of unfailing good-humor and persevering effort through four years of the Classics and Philosophy, Frank goes forth the same happy-natured, unassuming youngster that greeted us in the fall of l9l2. Safe it is to say that no member of the Class of l9l6 less often offended a classmate than did the subject of this little sketch. and, as a consequence, he reaches Graduation Day with every one of us as his friend and debtor for favors innumerable. Frank was always a reg- ular fellow and it would be difficult to find one more ready for a good time when a good time was in order, and then, on the other hand, more ready for work and study when they in turn demanded attention. He l was cosmopolitan in his friends, versatile in his activities and good na- tured whoever with or whatever doing. One might very well point to Frank as the ideal College Man. He never placed any other interest ahead of his class work and yet he dabbled a little in every branch of athletics, was an active and interested participant in the doings of the debating societies, scientific circle and so following g and still found time I0 justify his reputation as a social lion. For to leave society out of the question would involve a contradiction when we consider that Frank during his college days, has taken his abode with the Brooklyn Wonder ,Q ,ll V i and we doubt not that it is in this fact that Frank's social success is hidden. Frank leaves college this June to seek his fortune, as the expression has it, but with him go his straightforward look and his straightforward way, his pleasant way and his pleasant disposition. These he possesses in him- self, but he can also be assured that with him go the best wishes of every '-f -. ,, - F -4 .. Y one of us. Surely he is fortunate in friends and may he be equally fortu- nate in whatever else he may seek. Trl of ... so family fflfa fsiiig , ll lm ,921 ,I diff 11 'l J , ...,.....,.-. ... ....,. ...V 4 -.

From out the West one day there came to the summit of Mt. St. James a sturdy lad with a sharp eye and a melodious voice together with a striking presence that at once placed him before his fellow classmates as a boy from whom much was to be expected. Did he bear out their expectations? Read what follows and judge for yourself. Immediately, in the Freshman classroom, he became one of those Students to whom a question is finally referred, after the professor has sent it circulating through the class. His clearly thought out answers were almost invariably correct: so that at the close of the year he was a high honor man. In the elocution contests he had the honor of winning a prize during his first year .at col- lege, not to mention the fact that he competed on the Freshman debating team. But we have not here the Space to narrate his successes along the lines of oratory. ' I In his second year he was elected to the staff of The Purple in recog- i nltion of his splendid stories that he submitted, and so efficient was his work ln his Junior year that he was elected in Senior to the office of Chronicler HS well as to the position of Wheat and Taresn editor. - He competed to the advantage of his class on both the class football and track teams and thus showed that the mens sana was surely in a ucorpore sano.

But he isn't by any means so small that he is not known: for Tom is very popular, and was so even in the days of old. Tommy is another one of the day-boys. It was the Classical High School in Worcester that he thought would best lit him for Holy Cross. And judging from the way he advanced, one might well say the High School fitted him for college. Yet, throughout his course. it would never be suspected that beneath that calm though jovful exterior there lay latent powers of wonderful resource. There, at Classical, he was elected President of the Eucleia Debating Society. - At Holy Cross Tom continued the same, small, yet popular. There is about him a certain aversion to being too conspicuous: and perhaps this in a great measure explains why he does not wish to leave the boys, but prefers to continue in the golden mean rather than climb to the very top. Pee Wee used an almost uncanny judgment in the choice of his friends and it is our opinion that he enjoyed a large measure of success in that occupation.

Now his cigar is burning with wondrous t W freedom, and from the smoke flash forth images bright and quick as l ll lightning, with no thunder but the thunder of the pulse. Bits of old tales would come up as if they rode f i on the wings of night, and fragments of half-forgotten poems, tremulously uttered, complacently fell from . Gaby's lips. Thus amidst great bursts of merry laughter this droll young comedian would exhaust his l 1 15, unlimited supply of anecdotes, almanac jokes and dry riddles. 1 Not satisfied, however,,with his studies and manly sports, this fearless young warrior fhad a strong j ' i Vt, , weakness for the frailer portion of the race.

A fine athlete, a good student, he has striven and, indeed, attained a fmeness of development approximating the ideal. Hats off to him for what he has accomplished. Zoo is of an imperturbable nature, full of fun and a first-class entertainer. He has a host of staunch friends, and likewise is a member of the gang. For starting something, he's a wonder, and quite adept at putting on the finishing touches, too. Throughout his course he has l been recognized as a corridor dare-devil and seems to take particular delight in putting one over on O'Kie or Little Eddie. Even some of the safety first subscribers have succumbed to some of Frankie's pranks. Nevertheless, he is serious and thoughtful. Always has he displayed that highly commendable con- sideration for the feelings of others, and is ever careful not to offend. For four years he has enjoyed a high standing in his classes and offers a concrete refutation of the popular fallacy that an athlete is not a student. He was always among the first to don the moleskins in the fall, and i while in college has been connected with the Varsity. Needless to say, he has done honorable and yeoman service on the gridiron. incidentally, no one ever sported an H. C. on the sweater more becomingly than the Adams phenomenon. He adds dignity to their significance. His interest has not been directed solely to football, however. He is ,. -, I iff, a baseball player of no mean ability: he broke into the tennis game with Eddie, and likewise is proficient on the track. ss ,VIN 1, I. To be sure he has our good wishes for a bright future. His charac- cg . ,. E ,IV M .Il teristic determination and energy will enable him to progress as rapidly in s . t- .. days to come as in the past. We look to him to reflect credit on Alma : Mater. fiflfl f y, fy it 1 ' p IT: - wiv ,t A YYRA A i Q ' ilij l I lkyix flu ill 1 X , ,f. t XXI! i 1 ., , .va M.

In his inspection of institutes of learning, Holy Cross 1 , 1 l l l loomed up to him as the logical place to further his quest for knowledge, l , and so he set his mind upon it. Consequently, in the fall of I9 l 2, Jim , ill 1 ' W 1 l packed his trunk and boarded a train for Worcester. 1 M11 j It did not take long for Jim to get acquainted in town, and be- 1 'ii , fore long you could frequently see him wending his way down the liimx l 1 l boardwalk bound for clown street. When Sunday came, jim 1 li 1 generally was absent from supperg and that these little excursions into 1 N113 1 society were not fruitless we can be sure, for to use his own description, i l' ' Oh gol, fellows, you ought to see the swell feed. In all credit to 1 , him, let it be said that he surely could do full justice to a good meal. 1 1 Quiet and unassuming in his ways, Jim went about tending to his own affairs and making a circle 1 , of friends, to whom he was exceedingly loyal. That he enjoyed rendering service to his fellow-men is 1 evidenced by the fact that he was one of our most loyal Sunday-school teachers. . When the telephone was installed in Alumni Hall it was a great day for Jim, His.. friends from the City were always on hand to extend their best wishes to him and to -5 'ff l 1 1 1 do so it seemed they were obliged to use the new 'phone very frequently. s 1 + 1 1 1 Consequently his invitations out to supper increased very rapidly and with N. 1 1 , .. 1 . l nfl , A 1 1 them came an increase in ,Iim's equatorial bulge. 1 ,, l l 1 l - an - 9 u 4,44-75.

Every morning since we have been at Holy Cross, we have been greeted by his smiling countenance and his cheery good-morning. During his first year on Mt. St. James he was much given to track activities, and made quite an enviable record for himself the night of the Emmet Guards' meet, when he finished second to one of the premier middle-distance men of the East. However, an untimely injury cut short his promising track career, and he was forced to turn his atten- tion to other fields of endeavor, in which he has ably upheld the name of Worcester and of Holy Crossg here we speak of his ability as a debater. More than once has Fenwick Hall resounded with his convincing arguments, put forth in a masterly manner for the approval of the judges. V In our estimation, Florrie should, to make use of a slang expression, ' make good in politics, and we look forward to the day when we can read of his powerful support or opposition to public measures of importance. Our little booster's scholastic record can by no means be slighted, because here again he has always been well up to the front, and has made a ll t, , record for himself that he may well be proud of. If he is as sincere and - . 1 painstaking about everything after his college days are over, we have nothing C' to fear concerning his success, and indeed we feel that he will always con- 1 4 tinue along the way he has traveled up to the present, which can lead no- where but to success. - - - il. - I When Florrie leaves Holy Cross he will carry with him the wishes Y, l E of all the class for a successful career in whatever profession he casts his lot. -- , f- 11 1 l 1 A vt 1 11.

And spoke he well! 5 5 3 ,N W Senior Advisory Committee ' , W When one meets with a person who is universally liked at college, i l it is often very interesting to seek the cause of that person's popularity. Frank is such a chap. What is the cause of his being so well received by , his college-mates? We will try to ascertain this in our short space. First l t , l of all, Frank is, as his name signifies, frank, open-hearted and affable. l i : WH l f IN One feels at once, upon meeting him for the first time, that he has won l l 4 , a friend. Ever ready with a pleasant greeting and not at all stingy with , il,,1 ,,,, , j a hearty smile or laugh, Conan has made himself one of the most n i M . l pleasant fellows to meet in the class. And as might be imagined, UW. l ll, 5 F rank's conversational powers are also extremely well cultivated. In- 3 'l l deed, when he tells the story of the cross-examination to which a cer- r w l p tain lawyer in a country town subjected a certain culprit, a pin-fall 4 , w, i , il iii i could be heard at the beginning of the narrative and, we must confess, a thunder peal could scarcely be L distinguished in the hilarity that breaks out in the assembly when the comic answers of the culprit are quoted. l Strangely enough one of Bishop's warmest friends is not one of his own class but a Sophomore. E , , , Leo and Frank spent many a happy hour together, Leo contributing with his mandolin and Frank l i i holding his audience spell-bound with his unending series of racy witticisms. f l We must not bring about the inference that Frank is always mirthful. 1 He is also decidedly studious, serious in his ambitions and intentions, as is ' 1 ' . ,, , .. f, , , i i, , l befitting a man of his sincerity, and has always maintained an admirable jjj 'igfgfff f l lx l standing in classes. Many have endeavored in vain to learn what cause MQSQQ., ,yfii A l i N il l draws him so frequently to his home in Leominster. if l l' ? , Can anyone not perceive that a man of his affability is in as great de- - l 1 l mand there as at Holy Cross? And can anyone understand why he will X V i p , 5 not be in as great demand to the public when he leaves these portals, where j I 2, , ., , i , V' 1 - --- ' ' ,V , i Q i i l i certain success awaits men of his calibre.

Smoker Committee ' 1 i Punchinello does not harmonize well with Duggan, but, neverthe- i i 4 l . i less, Doc remains the premier wit of our class. His humorous lore ,l is unbounded, his witticisms are side-splitters, and to say that his buf- 1 ,' 1 foonery is amusing is treating it lukewarmly. But with all this, Doc . has his serious moments-for example. when he lights a cigar. But these moments are very, very few, for Doc smokes a good brand, so that really it would cost him no little fortune to be serious oftener than just occasionally. 3 i No-you're wrong. He does not part his hair in the middle. 5 QM Look again. Now you're right-it's his name. Why yes! To be 5 sure, it's a mark of aristocracy-and why not? Did not Doc's r i t father once hold the reins of government in the Heart of the Common- i wealth? Well, I guess Yes! Doc . tells us it is his fondest ambition that he, too, may some day hold the l V reins--we infer he means the metaphorical reins. Of course, Doc said it in jest--he says everything 1 more or less in that way-but then, remember that many a truth is told in jest. This world might be better l off if it had a few more who can always see the bright side of things-and Doc is surely one of this class. So, it logically follows, that unless those hideous finals have erased forever the smile rom his face. , , the world will be in some degree better off when it comes to know Doc Q, 1 as we have learned to know him.

RAYMOND DWYER WATERBURY, CONN. lx l jingles I l I 'l Do not berries malgc nectar for the Gods? 3 l l Toastmaster f2jg Holy Cross Night Entertainment l 1 I 1 ' ll Among a class of live wires, Jingles is one of the livest. This .UQ l fact became known ere I9l6 had long been on the Hill of Pleasant .4 y Springs, for it was noised about within a clay or two that Dwyer was I one of the regular fellows. The judgment formed then we have found j no occasion to change, in fact, it has been strengthened with each suc- ig l j j ceeding year. Nl Unfortunately, a page of THE PATCHER is not as big as that of W I t , an Atlas, and so, of course, we cannot even begin to tell all of his strik- y , I i t ing characteristics, but a little sketch of Jingles without mention of his H l . sense of humor would be like a lead pencil without lead. If Jingles . N, ever had a. fit of the blues, he must have suffered it during the summer t QM E y l months, for it is doubtful if there is a student at Holy Cross who can gli, l point to the day he was not ready with his joke, and seldom have we ever seen him without his good- 1 l tg l natured smile. QM. I Jingles was always known as one of the Waterbury bunch, and certainly no native of the prosper- Q Q 5 4 r ous Connecticut town, so lately famed for its war supplies-which Jingles, by the way, is alleged to Q ' l l il lil have had an active part in making, was ever a more sincere or consistent booster for his home town. ' l However, when all is said and done, the memory that the majority of jj, lm Q , 1 , us will carry away of Jingles will be intimately .connected with the Bay l ,X j State Hotel, for it was in that hostelry that he acted as toastmaster of our I l . l highly successful Sophomore banquet. In addition to his usual store of wit fl I - 2 t' and humor, which contributed so much to the gaiety of the occasion, Toast- if 'ry li master Dwyer broke the ice of conventionality by leaving his post at the -L-iii ,-ily' f 5 speakers' table and, coming down among the banqueters, just made us have l l l tl l K a good time. .'.' .livr l ill 1 in r j So, too, do we predict a success for Jingles in the affairs of busi- , ggi bxb' rgnq ith I WN . l QMS Q ness, and something tells us that by breaking away from similar convention- Q T' 1: .-gi ..'- ,Qlxli-Q I , Mi., l alities will he achieve a success that will bring praise to his name from .,,,ff'l,l 'i'.'Q lf l t wil all men.

H Happily united with Jingles from his Freshman year we hnd my Al all that we ought to expect of any worthy student--always i well above the passing mark, ever eager to seek his books during study l hour and Hy from them in recreation time. Of the strong, muscular type l of manhood we naturally find him on the football squad and although + ll an unfortunate injury kept him from the honors sought on the grid- I iron, still his aggressiveness has ever won for him the earnest apprecia- jx tion of his classmates and the admiration of all who knew him. , lf Al is also a basketball player and a baseball player of considerable note. He played on the 1916 I li i teams for four years and during his first three years helped them to many a hard won victory. He covered l ll right field for the Third Corridor baseball team and it was not very often the ball touched the ground in his V vicinity. il It was not until Senior that Al blossomed forth as an orator. Then his exceptional success in Or-- f l l ganic Chemistry was the incentive to the delivery in Elocution of an illus- J- trated .lecture on the Properties of Soap. While his illustrations were -,Y 'y rather meagre, still he made up for this by the humor and vivacity of his , 27 l speech. If Al has this same line when he puts a stethoscope on our i chests we promise him he will lack neither patients nor practice. ' ' fff , ji' hx ' . -'Al's social prominence was evidenced by the fact that he was K lb' l considered almost indispensable at the famous dance which Gil gave I the Waterbury boys during one of their vacations.

But Denny Fitz is one of them for not within the memory of man has an event, no mat- ter how nerve-racking, disturbed the serenity of his mind or his features. Let come what will, Denny has regarded all crises with the same calmness that most of us regard a stroll down Linden Lane. Undoubtedly many of us will wear a happy smile when we walk down this afore-mentioned lane in the June of l9I6 with a diploma tightly clutched in our hand, but few of us have been able to be happy l and unruffled every single minute of the past four years. Such was the feat accomplished by our Denny nevertheless. From the time we first glimpsed at him in Freshman no one has ever seen Denny disturbed over any- thing. Not that he was not as serious minded as the best student, but he simply refused to worry. He taught us a great lesson, too, for he has attained an enviable success without paying for it in shattered nerves, as has been the lot of many. The writer of this sketch lacks nothing of material, for any classmate of Denny's A will on the , slightest pretext Hll columns with his praises. As popular as any man in 'QV gl, the class, Denny has drawn about him a score of close friends who swear W 5 M by him through thick and thin. ' Popular as he may be on the hill. still he fijff' Vf fully equals it in other parts of Worcester. To accompany him down Wyglfffi .V.l,' jE71gQ,,, .5 1, . A li' i .ff V, M.-1 ff f' M town is like a walk with the successful candidate for political office on a n'fj5f'r or A ' ' tour among his constituents. Perhaps the orderly though rapid retreat of .W f ., 1, Denny's curly locks may be accounted for by the friction caused by con- M X tinually tipping his hat. Q at in A fellow so popular among his comrades, so sincere in his actions ei' V, ly l t i and so gracious of mien is bound' to deserve all honor in the world of busi- ' H if 1. or li 1 , , ness, and for Denny we hereby prophesy it. ,, i.l,A2il f if ,llll if 'l l W if V :ui if pl flfu . fl EE it ' lf.

FITZGERALD WORCESTER,l MASS. ff I Fred U Whose mil was wil peculiar to itself I Tall Prefect D. S. S. QD: Consultor fl. 213 Cap and Gown Committee I W. 1 , Here you have one of those day-in-and-day-out students with V whom you so rarely come into contact. During our Senior year, while many a one of our number burned the midnight oil to light his way lim l safely by the Scylla of Psychology and the Charybdis of Ethics. Fred X lg i 3 was dreaming pleasant dreams in which cum laude sprites and will i magna cum nymphs tripped to and fro to the lively tune of ninety- gill! hve. Once only was Fred's regularity at classes broken. That was ' ill l during junior year when he spent one long week nursing the bruises I sustained as the result of coming into immediate contact with a much I celebrated and much bewhiskered quadruped. Want to see Fred's ll l sunny smile? Ask him about the Third Degree. L If there was one thing startling in Fred's course it was his fail- ure to elect Organic Chemistry in Senior. His wide acquaintanceship among the medical men of the city I l fnot to mention the fair alleviators of human suffering in their blue and white attire, led us to believe that Organic would be his right hand subject in Senior. i Fred's predilection for Holyoke led him to form a strong companionship in Senior with Tom I I Finn. Tom and Fred, with the other Holyoke boys, whiled away many a dulcet hour recalling 1 and revelling in reminiscences of the past. Jw l I In a sense, then, his future is still a source of speculation with us. One 3 i f-fn, r l thing is certain-it will be crowned with success regardless of the held of - I 9 activity in which it is spent. The characteristics which Fred has dis- fy l Played during his four Years on Mt. St. ,lames will follow him out into the i i 7 2, fl ly! l world. Fearless and determined, he will accomplish whatever he puts his --f 1 gm .lil i I hand to or, to be more optimistic, whatever he puts his head to. The class 1111 Yrrg l Il of nineteen-sixteen, as well as the college at large, has every reason to be ll. l proud of the earnest manner in which he pursued his course, and what son 3 5,i I has gone forth with the approval of Alma Mater who has not spread her llhli i fame and brought added glory to her renown.

But here we have 11111 1 1 a man dating his advent at Holy Cross from his Senior year. In the 1 1 very brief period of time he has been with us he has probably become 1 1 T11 acquainted with more men and is better known to the undergraduates 1111H 1 1 11 1 than any other man in college. 1 ,, 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 Everyone knows and welcomes F'itz.

It was Fitz 1 1 111V 1 and Fitz alone.

Many things have distinguished Walt throughout his college i it career, and principally we have noticed his never-worry attitude and , rig p W fearlessness that he has displayed before an approaching examination. , , i ..i .M Confidence, good luck and steady study has been his student motto and l , l i l f accordingly we have always found Walter ready to do his part. Freshman found him an interested admirer of the Classics, and his i activities as a student combined with his consistent seeking for classical , , lore and scholarship have earned for him a high standing upon the t i Always the same happy Walt with the smile that won't come off, Walter with his winning ways and pleasant humor brought courage and sunshine to the faint of heart . and assured them that after all exams don't always test ability. This made him always an ever-wel- i come companion and class-mate. A representative day-boy in every respect, we behold beneath his humor and happy attitude an earnestness and appreciation for greater things and deeds that characterizes those who go into the battle ' l 1 of life to win the fray. And the class of l9l6 little doubts that Walter will live up to our expectations of him, for in truth we have seen him on more than one occasion enter the race at the eleventh hour and come forth victorious with the leaders. THE. PATCHER owes a debt to Walter since he was a faithful mes- senger in the carrying back and forth of the zinc etchings. Walter's popu- larity and his ability to get the utmost pleasure from Worcester's social life often excited our envy and wonderment. A toast to our joyous day-boy : A hope that fortune may ever smile upon him, as she has in days gone by, and bring him through the battle of life unscarred and glorious in victory. .4 .. , ,-' ' f-xffmmrjf' lx ,'1 , W. v, fy? 2 fhyff, ,iff - '45 'fiffft' ' af' ltffflvi ' 'wif H' 1- Jffa64C' f' 'l' i ' i l'Uk77Q7' '7 5 .llfr ,f'5f,y,4, ezxff .i M gi tr' ' N745 LQ: 1 gJr1::,.l'.':., 2lJ'gQ,i,f:.1iT -1 .-'-sg VV'-. ljlff 3 5ilf'1i,y1f'z -'-ff' rZ'if X71 iirff A-rf' v'13l, 'i 'ffiilixlji' fllkfll ii lt ,li 5.

The Hermit Harry Sphinx Slcadfasl was his friendship, his word as lruc as gold!!! The memory of us all, however, goes back to Harold first and foremost as he appeared in old College Special, for we had hardly attended a week of classes before we were all asking, Who is that young fellow in the back of the room? And as that characteristic of ability in studies marked him out from the vulgar throng in early Fresh- man, so it continued to be his distinguishing point for the whole four years. There is many a member of l9l6 who will leave college this June with the realization that he was helped over many of the rough spots by the Woonsocket prodigy and, because of it, he will hold a warm place in the hearts of us all. Harold is the kind of a man that is appreciated more and more as time goes on, and each year has made the real friend side of his ledger grow fuller and fuller, while the mere acquaintance list grew corre- spondingly smaller, until today we doubt if it contains a single name. Unlike some class leaders Harold did not confine himself only to his studies, but his interest in nearly every branch of student activities was very marked. In the debating societies he was always to the fore and he was selected to preside over the deliberations of the Philomathic for one term.. As ,a speaker he X 1 , was always interesting, as can every member of the class attest that attended y the Junior banquet or any one of the other occasions when he graced the assemblage by his oratory. Harry was erstwhile manager of THE PATCHER but sickness made him throw up the job. His initiative in securing the money should commend itself to all business men. His friendships and associations in 1.. Junior and Senior were a source of wonderment to all of us. - s ' All these acquired accomplishments, added to his inborn sterling char- acter, bid fair to carry him well up in the struggle of life, and the day will surely come when we will all be proud to be known as his classmates.

Perhaps there is no man in the class better known among the Boys than Eld. From the very day he entered, his easiest task has been to make friends. Why, they seem to come to him thicker than hops. But, of course, there is a reason for it. It is no other than E.d's fine personality. They say Goosey had a heart as big as himself, but no doubt this is a trifle exaggerated. Through the length and breadth of Worcester Ed is well-known, and especially among those whom the Boys like to knowg indeed, he has come to the rescue of many a poor chap on a Sunday afternoon through his numerous feminine acquaint- ances. As for himself, he spends his vacation and in fact all his spare ' o time on Riverside Drive. Goosey's motto is different from others. He believes in Think a little, say a lot. We don't mean that he is extremely talkative-as a matter of fact if you want advice concerning operas or anything else, ask Ed -but that he sees to it that conversation never wanes. Goosey's vast intellectual powers were a marvel to all. Whether or not he knew anything about a subject he would always venture an opinion- where angels fear to tread. He had the philosophy theses cold before anyone else had begun them. As a consumer of tobacco A T Ed had no rival. He smoked anything you had and it was a common saying that Ed had never, in the four years he had been with us, entered the portals of a tobacco store. M ,,:. , - Ed surely has made a great hit with the boys while here and no doubt he will do the same wherever he goes. What his cheerful disposition, true friendliness, loyalty and generosity, have won for him in the past we hope will remain with him all his life in a manifold manner, giving him a bright and happy career.

Waller Woof 1 c1an't know what you said but I deny your minor --Sc ipso. If one could smile his way to Success, we could safely predict a happy future for Walter, for there is yet to be found one among us who could resist his all-conquering, golden smile. Walter's hobby is his camera. And in taking his pictures he makes a specialty of taking them well. In fact, he tells you if they do not come out well he cannot help it, since he cannot make you dif- ferent from what you are. As a philosopher Walter is known as the man who overthrew Metaphysics, a title he gained the day he estab- lished a precedent by denying and at the same time proving his thesis. Hercules and Walter seemed to be fine roommates. To such 1 an extent, in fact, that if one saw Walter without Hercules at his side it would be, as Artemas Ward would have expressed it, Like the i play of 'Macbeth' without Hamlet. As early as Freshman, Walter broke into prominence with a poem entitled Bury me in a bush. He was a Section A Sophomore, and together with Lang and Jim Riley gave Father Heaney many valuable points concerning Horace, Ulysses, and all those other ancient critters, We are proud to state that Walter is one of the l9l6 crop of Knights Surely it is not clue to him that there are not more members of that organization, for almost every- one on his corridor has had a few troubled moments when he pulled out X ' ' that yellow application blank. i The odor of Walter's alcohol stove, when all the necessary precautions had been taken, could not be detected more than a mile away. He is the original Chocolate Soldier, if we are to judge from the remarks of that if l connoisseur, John Hennessy. ' But surely as a class we join in wishing Walter success. That his future be brilliantly lighted is our sincere wish. For one who tries and succeeds, for him there is the crown of glory and of success. 1 lil ill., 1 V ml W ' 'f . . ififx in-.-Ui fl?

' It is recordedg yes, although the years either through sympathy or a love of veracity have dimmed the records now, that he actually smiled on being ushered into the mysteries of being. Worcester, the city of seven hills, is his home, has been and will be, until the sidewalks of Bell Hill are old. Unassuming indeed is jim, sometimes even to the point of taciturnity, but marked withal, with a certain sincerity, which like all worth the travail, when revealed is worth the revealing. He glided through the elementaries in the innocence of childhood, and rolled through the high school on the greased wheels of unconcern. l On the way he indulged in the national pastime and held down the hot corner for one glorious year, the cynosure of all eyes, classed among the elite of Classical High. Jim finally decided that since he was so accustomed by this time to climbing hills, he would essay the ascent of Mt. St. James. Lo, a miracle was performed: nothing unusual for the Hill of Pleasant Springs though, for Still Jim became immediately the source of unheralded loquacity, and awed his hear- ers wondrously. Always a worker, Jim has never flagged in his efforts to contribute 5 to the happiness of his many friends. Many and diverse have been his occupations outside of the immediate precincts of school work, and it has never even been whispered that in these endeavors he has not been suc- cessful. - 11 His spirit and loyalty to his Alma Mater have characterized him throughout, and he has been a shining example for both the imitation and ediiication of his fellows. Jim is of the earnest, steady and plodding character that evolves geniuses and we may well look to see him some day among the category of successes catalogued from midst the Class of l9l6.

Class Football 43. 415 Banquet Committee Uh Prom Committee When we begin to recount the many and varied gifts of those stal- wart sons that Waterbury has sent to our portals our eloquence becomes only as sounding brass. Such also is our predicament when we turn our thoughts to one of the foremost of the aforementioned youths, by name George. Many a time in that self-satisfying and peace-pervading class of Sophomore we envied those in our midst who basked in the calm serenity of that Gibraltar-like resident of Connecticut. But George, a mem- ber of those few elect, always proved himself worthy of his rank. Never once did he fall a victim of the guns of the invader. He applied him- self so zealously to his books that ever was he deemed the man of character. George's activities are by no means conhned to his studies. He and his ever-present mandolin have afforded a pleasant refuge since Freshman to the weary and studyworn. Many a time the US. O. S. sign has been hung out when George and Dinny started a little harmony. George is a traveller of note. He had a delightful time on his trip Washington's Birthday in Junfor year. Referring to this, George always says Oh Boyyeeln There ought to be some sort of a clue here. George was an athlete also, taking part in several of the class football i ti and baseball games. He was somewhat of an athlete in another sense also E Y in that he was the owner of Old Dobbinf' whose deeds are recorded else- where in these pages. To Vic and Denny we can assign a medal for consistency in attendance at class. There was never a day in the whole -A-A year on which either he or his roommate could not be found in their places. xg .f George intends to increase the orbit of his travels. He is going to 2 , t , It teach the little Filipinos how to mind their p's and q's. May all success attend him, as we know it most assuredly will, for his perseverance and sound strength of purpose are not to be denied. I i X W 1 ,4 H -5 Mill El Q tl ww, I I ad X J H lXfl x ,.

Most of them are commonly distributed, for Holy Cross men as a rule possess generic traits. But here and there you will find these virtues in such an eminent degree as to demand particular and emphatic mention. Thus it is with Doc. To him more than any other individual must be attributed the success and excellence of THE PURPLE PATCHER. No one possi- bly could have manifested more interest in his work, or exhibited such patience and perseverance. His avarice for doing things is uncanny ' and his ability is no less mysterious. He is a real leader and is to be congratulated for the success whichihis endless efforts have produced. Doc, as he is known among us, first attracted our attention and won our commendation by his con- stantly brilliant and successful work in the class-rooms. Not content with this he sought outside work to oc- cupy his attention, and next as a short story writer he became a frequent contributor to the monthly editions of The Purple. 1, Hence, very soon he was generally reputed to be an English scholar of ' high rank: one extremely potent with the pen.

Ever since Jack came whistling up l the Linden pathway to Holy Cross his congenial, unassuming manner has won the hearts of all of us. It was not long before he was admitted to the Inside Committee on the old 3rd O'Kane, and, of course, then his reputation was made. 1 Jack, although not actually engaged in any class of college ath- letics, was an ardent rooter for all the teams and on the cold, cold nights of winter his tales of how he became the Pride of Ware passed many N a weary hour, and caused many a one to envy him his distinction. Our l friend Madden avers that he received more calls on the Alumni 'phone y , l than any regular society man in the class. l Numbered among his most distinguished acquaintances was that silent but loyal classmate, slim Far- ley. Walter Gendreau, the Flashlight Artist, also enjoyed the distinction of having his name enrolled with that of Prime Matter. In the midst of this jovial group jack would remind one of old Socrates when he sits listening to an argument: carefully weighing each side, before he gives his usually shrewd an- swer. l The fact that many of us were punctual in attendance at Mass the 'I .past year is due to -laclc's assiduily in awalcing us at the blissful hour of twenty minutes to seven. Nor must we forget that Jack, together with Walter Gendreau. ran a private kitchenette, meals served at all hours. Cocoa ei la Hen- Q nessey is a creation of theirs that attained corridor-wide renown. E A ,- It is rumored that lVlaucl's chief aspiration after leaving Holy Cross - i is to become the leading model for Steers-Roebuck Co., importers of domestic and line woolens. But we hardly believe this to be true. In all ' , sincerity, the qualities that Jim has displayed at Holy Cross and his X ' charming disposition lead us to predict with vim that he is going to get x there. r l l I -i 1 V X x l l, Q 4 r sigma 4 I ff! l jjlgjf X X vi . ,, .

Night Committee OJ: Class Football fl, 2, 3, 4,5 Captain Unfortunately the personnel of the Athletic Store had already been completed when Michael Howard left the busy streetsflil and teeming marts of North Brookfield, Mass., and betook himself hither. His business ability and passion for efficiency were not long hidden, however, and when we returned in Sophomore we found Mike as Sanitary Engineer behind the counter of that busy little life sav- ing station. Mike today holds the proud distinction of having acted as manager of that institution for two years. Not so many years ago the proposition of enlarging the store would have scarcely been considered, but it was actually made a fact during last year. And still we find ourselves clamoring over the backs of twenty other seekers after Tommys. And all this is accounted for largely by the presence of genial Arakel on the other side. Class football, however, gave Mike his greatest opportunity of endearing himself in the affections of his classmates, and he took full advantage of it. In Junior he was Captain of the classvteam and in other years he was a member of the line. . ' As the greatest football player H. C. ever hd-in practice, 'Mike , i proved an apt student at football strategy. His great work in the junior game would make Percy Haughton feel like a back number. ' Mike has often been assigned the honor by a certain member of i our class of being the originator and inventor of the Vicious Circle, but --A . he stoutly disclaims this honor. I The same aggressiveness that put the store on so Hrm a foundation and made our line impregnable should carry Mike to success in even greater ventures, and he can be assured that he has the best wishes of l9l 6 - , that it will. .ss l l I f 1 1 5 1 , ii, ' 1 f..l.-fN,Q-fda.. ,H V , i x , W , ,, , W, AA 7,,, ,,A,,sA- .AM M.. xl K' ' t,,.f, .. 1i l ,pq We as we A- ggi , W ll i 'rflf'Xiff7 , G4-G G' '7fff:liXfZLs.A- 5,4 1' W gEiEq:f:7AX'i i'l .Wf is e e' f A so rr- i J f lx r - ' , ' JOSEPH M.

Hughes, who afterwards came 3 K' i 3 to be known as Gov, He had just come all the way from Emmets- burg, Maryland, where he intended to pursue his studies. Not finding will t 1 the democratic spirit there, he was directed to Holy Cross, where he ' ,H immediately began to gain favor with his fellow students on account i 3 of his winning personality. 'lik' t Gov was never an office seeker, in the strict sense of the word. M li, I l He had the ability to fill capably, perhaps, any office to be given, but I through modesty he did not aspire to it. However, in Senior, on ac- i l ' count of his unfailing loyalty to the class, it was seen fit to present him I f A with the office of President of the Aquinas Club. As holder of this l position he established a precedent ofvinaugurating smokers held in the lecture room, which turned out to be A I Y very sociable affairs. 1 A li A Every man is generally known by some favorite expression of his. It is either one of literary excel- l ij 'f g1 l lence, or otherwise. Gov, like these men, has a few that are worthy of note. They are Hey, Eddie, 5 Q and Three times here. If any reader is in doubt as to the meaning of these expressions we advise the L W kind and perhaps gentle one to refer to the honorable Governor himself. if, ii, W glllll We assure you that these are original. .-f f ' ' ff' ,gl E Class football is what brings out the spirit of the class. When the ' V gli call was issued in the fall for candidates to come forth, Gov would go F l l forth clad in armor, ready to meet the foe. Generally in the games played f' r FIX ' I' 'll xl!!! he put up a sterling game and was a man to be feared. But for a severe A 1, LM in I.. 3, accident befalling him in high school days he would have been a member ' ' ip- l' 5' Wi llll of the Varsity squad and today would be able to display the coveted H.

An uncompromising admirer of Mike How- t ard and of bucolic North Brookfield, Leo made a name for himself by his peculiar knack of attaching Carlisle names to all the worthies in the class. There still lingers in our memory a tender recollection of the night llill' Leo introduced joe Cahill into Worcester society. It was joe's first venture in that line and he was extremely nervous. His roommate , helped him out as best he could, but everybody on the corridor was , l 'l 'N wise as to what was going on, and crowded into the room. One man selected Joe's necktie for him, another brushed his clothes, while a , third arranged his stiff-bosomed shirt. Leo himself at last appeared, and the two received an ovation as they left the corridor. Leo has gained something of a reputation as apugilist. In Sophomore Petey was more valorous than wise, and as a consequence, in the famous battle which followed, quickly succumbed to a few of Leo's haymakers. Mail-in-the-face was another who tempted Leo, and he met the same sad fage as his pre- decessor. gf Alden Judge, prominent among the society men of l9l6, seemed to 1 - jf., i g 1 f,.,.fjf' l il' have formed a deep attachment for Leo. Wherever Leo would select a - H QWU,-26, 5 + seat Alden would always be found beside him, and the two would be sure fix , - - .. ,. i f' f if i 2 to make things hum during the rest of the class.

In Ethics we learned that man is naturally social, from which we deduce the l l ' l l . ill l lg P conclusion that Alden is strongly human and that this trait is a dominant one in his nature. Many a time and oft a friend with an afternoon' to spare and no place to go has given witness to the foregoing truths. As a member of the famous Junior C. he was in his prime. There he. enjoyed immensely the discus- litll' sions held twice a week in Evidences. He was generally on hand with if l 1 1 lil il some humorous remark to set the fellows in laughter.

Wherever there was a group of fellows to rehearse the latest joke, you could feel sure Jack was there. His good nature and kindly disposition made him everybody's friend. Indeed, Jack's power to entertain was well supplemented by ability along other lines. In the Orchestra he always had a place, justly deserved by his skill with the strings. But his well-developed and musical voice brought him even greater fameg for he took a place in the Harmony Hall quartet which gave exhibitions at various public affairs. In class matters jack always fulfilled in a creditable manner the role of a student. Even in dramatics he did not hesitate to offer his services. For two years Jack served us faithfully as Class Treasurer, and this may account in a large degree for the fact that whatever tax was levied on l9l6 was always promptly paid. We must remember Jack for, at least, one other thing. As a social lion he had no peer: but it is no wonder, for jack could smile and laugh when others were deep in the blues. ,YV s-'i' if H,1yg'jL. f- ,Iack's Hebrew cast of countenance early won him the title of Abe I ' ff.

I M A Milfc ' Of ready wil and ready brawn and brain l I Banquet Committee ill In high schools there are three kinds of students., There are l ll those who easily soar above the common throng and are called honor l pupils, then again, there are some who fail to ever catch the multitude: ' l but the backbone of the class, those who make the class what it is, are '4 the ones that work hard, never falling below, nor yet too eager for the front. Mike never longed for either of the first two classes, but in if l' his four years at high school jostled along with the others, quietly 1 making his way to Mt. St. James. f Here a gradual change came over him, until finally many were ll E surprised to learn that Mike was an excellent l00-yard and 220- 1 If yard man. But the call for candidates for the Junior football team.. l gl and the games played showed that Mike was Varsity material. l Indeed, the Class of l9l6 would not be complete if one of its clay scholars were not among the mem- E bers of the football team. But Mike Kelley was the one who saved all records and in Senior played I it in the backfield. , His consistent work as a ground-gainer was remarkably characteristic of the man. He could always I gain ground, no matter how hard the task might be that was given him. His genial disposition made him well liked by all: an eagerness and willingness to help all secured many . ,fo fast friends. If you can't say something good, don't say anything at all 37 , H f about him, and Don't crab seem to be two of Mike's slogans. - Mike was a very consistent day scholar. When the notice came J, ff, around on the eve of the First Friday for day scholars' confessions at 3.00 'A h ffl P. M. you would see him invariably wend his way towards the chapel, for A, he always desired to be faithful in that matter. ' 2' The limelight has always affected his eyes, so that .he never seeks to fill be near it. But in the ranks of the steady, hard workers, always bucking 131-fi x the line, always gaining ground, you will find persistent Michael Kelley. , I .

Part of this was a generous supply i l of wit and humor, and as for story telling, no man in the class would r l even dare to claim rivalry with Kel. Ed certainly had the happy l p p p faculty of driving away those dull, dreary moments that are bound to l i linger even in the midst of being in general, as Kel thinks, by l ll' l Harry Lauder's latest riddle, or possibly by a clever impersonation of . p , l some one of the noted stage celebrities. 5 l To know Kel is to like him: for there isn't the least thing out , of the way about him, not even in his smile. As a matter of fact, l I people have asked, Who is that man with the winning smile? We have Ed in still another role, l that is, regarding his activity in class matters. N I The selection of Ed by the Athletic Council as a cheer leader was a most happy one, and his ability , ly, to inspire enthusiasm and spirit in the fellows, even in the discouraging time of defeat, is one that will be p Ni, long remembered. In Junior Ed not only was chairman of the committee of arrangements, but in the l crisis arising from the absence of some of the other officers was able to JT 5, ll l step into the breach and preside in a manner that brought credit both to .-5 'V, , Q the Society and College.

LE ROY, N. Y. Frank He holds lhc noiscless lcnnr of lifc's way. l There are many types of a quiet fellow. There is the lad who does not know enough to speak at great length on a subject, and we gratefully realize that there are none such among us, there is the chap who is always silently watching for a flaw in an argument that he may criticize, and so on. And then there is that other fellow--whom we all so dearly love to meet-the lad who listens well, whom modesty deters from speaking with great volubility, and who is so marked and pleasant a contrast to the victrola type of chap, who merely needs wind- ing now and then to keep flowing his vagary thoughts into the channels of speech. Frank is a good listener and, as are all good listeners, he is a man of deep thought, a fact that one may easily learn by drawing him into a conversation. Let us not be construed into mean- ing that Frank does not talk very much. He is ever ready to express his sentiments on a subject, once they are asked, and in their expression he is at ease. And these are the reasons that make Frank a fellow to whom one would go to settle an argument as arbitrator. In his Freshman year, Frank was a member of the class track team, and performed well in the hurdles. But he preferred, thereafter, to confine his efforts to the classroom, with the result that he stands well up in his classes. ' Although one would never suspect it Frank is very much of a wrestler and would perhaps be more so if he had a more robust roommate than Pug Whalen. Frank is a firm believer in preparedness and it is P for this reason that he has sought by frequent and long-continued visits to the gym to build up his physical strength. Although not over strong when N. he came among us, he now boasts a physique that any one of us might envy. ' If coolness, determination and mental ability go for aught, Frank will make his mark. We feel sure that the mark will be a high one. llwfqh ,af-sf I 1 . 1.x X f ' X , XV! l . l ll 'Ni l liz' l RAYMOND I. KENNEDY WATERBURY, CONN. l Gosh HC. C. C. uf. l. Mozart Promoter B. V. M.

As tall elms rise here and there along the margin of some placid stream and, with uplifted arms and leafy spray, throw great patches of shadow upon the meadow, so does Ray cast many a shadow upon his companions. Thus ushered upon our little stage, our young hero is prepared to play his part. The cast is made up of fellow-students and the play is entitled No matter how hard you drive a pen, a pencil must be lead. Beppo fa servantl announces a visitor on the telephone. Quite 4 confused, the young master proceeds to the booth and then rushes downtown. Rumor hath it that he dines tonight apart from us. Ray kept himself in the limelight by his proclivity for asking ques- tions. In Junior, the muse Melpomene seized him, and he purchased a great bass viol, at all the recitals in Fenwick making himself conspicuous by the fact that he was the only musician to stand during the entire performance. U ' Ray seemed just the type of man The Purple needed to bolster up its Ad department, so they established him in the position of advertising manager. His business max- . ims are best expressed in the neat card that adorns his desk, Down in the .

Many and proficient have been her graduates who have matriculated at the college, and Sylva, gifted with a thorough knowl- edge of the classics, was no exception. 5 f l Sylva was a member of the cross-country squad in his Sophomore year, and gave a good account of himself in his journeyings over hill and dale. A consistent performer on the track, however, he never cap- . tured the elusive H. C., though his abilities were proffered in true 'jllll college spirit. None heard him coming, but we knew when he arrived. How i l often has that been said of Sylva in the hallowed confines of the Day . Boys' Sanctum. An orator first, last and all the time, he has ever been a source of wonder to his fellowsg l that one possessing such ability should confine his efforts to haranguing on the faults of lost causes. l X He is social and a consistent student, who will surely make himself known in whatever field he enters. Sylva could generally come into the classroom without a sound. He had his O'Sullivans working l to perfection. These, combined with his light, springy step, always excluded him from the aranks of dis- , 5 p turbers on his trips to and from classrooms. He possesses a good fund of general information, and has business ability. Who has not been helped to locate that seemingly unknown book ' I l for which one was looking in the Public Library? A whispered word of lf advice, a finger run down the catalogue list, and there it is.

Class Track cl, 2, 3, 4,3 Chairman Banquet Committee GJ: Chairman Reception Committee, Philomathic Nature made Ding essentially a gregarious animal, and since junior we have known that Divine Providence adapted every creature to the end for which it was created. Frank is no exception, and con- sequently we find him endowed with all those qualities of companionship and disposition that tend to make him one whose presence is welcomed whenever good fellows get together. For the better part of four years his room was an oasis in a desert of Greek and Philosophy, and from its confines arose so frequently those divers noises always accom- panying a general good time that more than one Prefect was sorely tried. It was Ding's unfailing good-nature and ever-present sense of the ridiculous that helped all of us over many a rough spot, and his cheerful sympathy in discouragement always made life look a little brighter. He was a stranger to moods, and just the same old Ding wher- ever or whenever met. In spite of all this, Ding was a hard worker. His class marks often made us believe that his pro- fessors had learned to count from 95 up-an illusion quickly dispelled when we heard our own. The prize debate that was held under his direction was a howling success, and not the least pleasing feature was the immaculately attired Chairman of the Committee himself. In athletics he was ever ready to adcl to the fame of his class, and as a member of the Varsity track squad he won the coveted H, C. in 'ff I Senior by taking first place in the high jump at Springfield and Tufts. C f For Ding we predict a host of life-long friends and all the success A '. ' that they and true ability will bring. Year by year that list will grow longer, but we envy not these favored mortals, for the men of I9I6 are safely entrenched in his favor, and we know he will not be the first to sever X the bonds which bind us all together through Holy Cross. i fly-T s, i if. 7 K lf I X l x t , .

His work in the two years he has been with ' us has been characterized by commendable earnestness and a strict ad- herence to the doctrine of attending to his own affairs. This steady per- severance in his work has won him the reward of an earnest student. l..eo's forte in junior was Physics. In that department, presided over by Father Rafferty, Leo on several occasions strove to disprove by force of experiment sundry laws formulated by Boyle, Charles and other gentlemen prominent in the world of Science. We fail to recollect the success of his efforts, but remember at the time we gave him full credit for them. He was wont also to use the knowledge he acquired in the Physics Ti laboratory to explain the divers and intricate parts which were con- tained within the engine of his Phord. Surely the fact that he was the owner and operator of a Phord should be deemed worthy of com- ment. Certainly those who marveled at his skill in running that piece of mechanism will agree that the famous Detroit manufacturer has not lived in vain. Frenchy is one of the original Worcester boosters. His ideal is Worcester and Prosperity and he has lost no opportunity of having us take that motto unto ourselves. if .

Social lion, he may be called, and gifted with a loquacious tongue, and wide acquaintance, and a rich fund of general knowledge, he leads many a grand march and is often the Godsend of many a Worcester patroness in distress.

Many of us looking back to our first introduction to Worcester can remember some little assistance he tendered us which later flowered into a career on our own account. Many of us have had occupations out of school hours: that is those of us who can afford the time and still keep up in our studies. Mutt is one of these and his four years collegiate course have been supplemented by a journalistic training that has made him rich in Experience and Resourcefulness.

RAYMOND E. LARKIN CARBONDALE, PA. sARaylu snpoxvn Pap goes flre weasel! Secretary Aquinas Club H15 Mailman Raymond is one of that numerous and genial throng in our midst that hails from the far distant hills of Pennsylvania. We might begin right here by stating that he is by no means the least of them. In the four years that Ray has been with us he has been the constant object of envy on the part of less gifted classmates, who with despairing eyes marveled at the manner in which he steadily received those hard won tickets and later how he invariably won such high marks in his papers. Ray, however, by no means confines his activities tothe class- room. On any fair day in the Fall or Spring he could be observed dis- porting himself on the tennis courts. Altho not a Johnston or McLaugh- lin exactly, he has always proved himself a hard man to defeat, due to his faculty of putting 'em where they ain't. He made a habit of keeping close tabs on the score and was a great judge of whether his ball had struck foul or fair. As an outfielder on the class teams Ray was a wonder, as a ball hit into his terri- tory meant sure death. I Though it seems hard to believe Ray was a most proficient dancer. His creation, r The Mouse Trot, obtained considerable popularity. 1 . ,fr W A , Ray is a connoisseur of all kinds of tobacco used on Mt. St. James: - from Pennsylvania Twist to the P.

Banquet Committee Leominster has now, of its own merits, risen before the public eye. For it has been of late made a city. But even were it still a tovsm, its importance would be placed in the rank of a city's ,prestige were we to judge the place by its representative, Eddie, Tall and slender, sharp of eye, he impresses one immediately as a man of parts. That the impression is well founded is borne out by the fact that Eddie has always stood well in his classes. The sharpness of his mind, no less sharp than his eye, has been manifested time after time when, called upon in class, his concise answers brought a solution to the problem at issue. Indeed, even in that difficult study, Chemistry, he possessed the same adeptness: and the way that he could handle dan- gerous chemicals was uncanny. It is said that the expression Hey Eddie arose from his neighbors in the laboratory who uttered the exclamation when Ed started to free a manipulation of the highly powered explosives. As for athletics, Ed did not indulge to any great extent. Still, if the word of joe Higgins counts for anything, Eddie would have made a great quarter- miler for the track team, a fact that appeared very probable of realization from the speed that Ed showed on the tennis courts. It goes without saying that Ed should succeed: for he has the I requisites for success in his makeup. Ed's cultivation of the social vir- tues was especially marked in Senior when his requests for an Eleven ,,,1' A O'Clock were particularly frequent. A man so well known in Worcester A as he, and one having for a sponsor no less a personage than Dumb Ed -4'-f If Garvey, could but be expected to score a notable success in all things social. Quick of wits, cool headed and ambitious, he is bound to push him- , self forward and forge to the front in the long, long race. And you may be sure that his classmates will regard his success with pleasure, for one ,- meets not with a fellow like Eddie every day. X :Ii Q' ,lr L-. 1 g l X lj fyif ' e 131 ig..

PATCHER Board f4j. N111 1 f llif l Long before his arrival at Holy Cross Ed had become acquaint- 1 A 1 1 , . 1 ed with Bones Reilly and had come under that gentleman s benign . influence. It was but natural that Ed should choose that this com- 1 panionship should be continued and augmented and that they two should 1 1 continue as room-mates for the first three years of their course. 5 During these three years Ed and his room-mate were two of the charter members of the Gamma Delta Rho and as members of that 1'1i' society many a baffling problem found a solution in their room. 1 1 1 Senior year found Reilly in a new field of endeavor, but Mac 1 lil , . . . . . 111 1 1 contmued his old associations on the Top Corridor of Beaven. I As a musician Ed proved himself an almost indispensable mem- 1 1 1' ber of the Orchestra. He found particular favor as a soloist. The thought of the necessity of study, which comes to all of us in Senior, struck Ed with particu- lar and peculiar emphasis. Not infrequently he would be enjoying the company of Mickey or of ,111fl O'Key when a look of worriment would come over his face and with the exclamation Scribo! he 11 11 would hurry back to his notes. 1 li Ed first showed what he could do in the intellectual line when he I 111i tackled Ethics and Psychology. That is to say he began to show his real jsp, 11 11 ability when he cut out using lVlugger's notes. l1 Mac was rash enough to pay a visit during Christmas to E. Mich- ,f l l - . . . . .

From far over the plains of Pennsylvania there journeyed to Worcester the blond, pleasant chap on whom we are about to solilo- quize. Now it is not our intention here to deal with so trivial an accom- plishment of his as that of social success. Suffice it to state that he became immediately popular in Worcester society. It is the cause of this popularity that shall be involved in our following attempt to describe the success that he has achieved in other lines. First of all there came to our notice his power of oratory. Debate after debate he vivified by his forceful argument. Not satisfied with plain oratory, he entered dramatics. Is there one of us who can ever forget the success he , achieved and the tones of the applause when he, as a love-lorn swain, came in upon the stage crying out for his loved one, Phoebe, Phoebe, Phoebe!? Then lVlugger entered the realms of music and the dulcet tones of his violin soon joined in harmony with the breath of the college orchestra. Need we go further to tell of his tennis ability, so instrumental in developing the lithe, sturdy physique that distinguishes him from his opponents on the courts. Or need we mention the force and conviction that accompanied his responses, when his voice rose over the din of the orchestra that assem- bled after breakfast every morning, in answer to the challenging statements 5 'E of even a Burke or a Quinn, yea, or even a Howard? Need we take V.. ,.,N. ,., . note of the fact that Phoebe was one of the most efficient typewriters on Vg ff the corridor? Can we ever forget the high mark that Cullen and those ' who purchased his notes received in examinations? We have not space to 'ff igQ2?.fffQ'fflii': -if 'i.l HM. tell these things in detail. They serve but as an appetizer to his memory. N 4 f What can we predict for Joe ? Success certainly, if untiring am- bition. labor and affability go for aught.

Sodality CZ, 3,3 Registrar, Students' Library C313 Librarian-in-Chief There is an unwritten and universally accepted law which says that a sorrel top houses a fiery temper. The confirmation to the rule we have in this ultro-auburn-pated son of Sixteen. There is one thing which will rouse his Scotch ire-designate him Francis H. This proud possessor of a sacredly-guarded bisected name manifests an in- satiable thirst for vaudeville and movie thrillers. June will mark the completion of his fourth season in the Three P fPoli-Plaza-Pleasant, League, and no doubt we will find him, as of yore, leading in all depart- ments of the game. One of the characteristics which Red brought with him when first he dusted the hayseeds of his native burg out of his hair was his love for books. Modern novels of the lVlcCutcheon-Beach brand he devours while the ink is still redolent and his thorough knowledge of books in general found its ample reward in his appointment as Librarian- in-Chief of the Student Library Staff. There is nothing in this wide world which can lure him from his faithful meerschaum and his much- rocked rocker. Many a knotty problem in Ethics has been rocked to its grave in this sacredvheirloom. In connection with the meerschaum it might be remarked in passing that on A Z the twentieth day of October, Nineteen Hundred' and Fifteen, Rube pur- chased a can of Prince On the strength of this unprecedented achieve- ment the Class President succeeded in having an extra day tacked on the Xmas recess. Red's title as the Universal Crab, won as early as Freshman, remained his undisputed title throughout his whole four years. Excepting finals Red's one source of sorrow is the thought of parting! with the Corning foundling which Fate wished upon him in Fresh- man. Recl's dogged and persevering ways are indicative of a bright ii future, and we expect to hear great things of him some day. a A . 41 N' f Ll 5 tml, .1 , . l x f X xg, T , V ' r .

It was not until we were well on our way through Senior that Ed lVlcCivney chose to augment our number with his presence. In his coming there rested a peculiar significance since his name added still another to the long roster of Holy Cross' first century class and increased our number to one hundred and twenty. Still lVlac's advent to Holy Cross presented nothing particularly new to him. It was rather a stiff job at first to make up his Ethics and Psychology notes, but this obstacle was overcome by a little ap- plication. His previous experience at Fordham served to thoroughly familiarize him with the curriculum at our college. Mac found that coming at mid-years was somewhat of a handi- - cap to one wishing to mingle in Worcester social life. ln addition to this he roomed alone during the greater part of his stay, and that didn't help matters any. V However, under the tutelage of one of the dwellers on the Top Corridor, he cut the Gordian Knot and was introduced to one of Worcester's select families. Mac was well known to all the boys and his favorite greeting, Have you got any P. AJ was familiar on all the corridors. Q -' Ed's visits were frequent but usually very brief. He could often be found in any room at all, wandering far from the Third Corridor. N ,. ' ' It did not take us long to become acquainted with Mac and so although he has been with us only a few months this is no license for sup- . posing he is not known. ' Ed was a great baseball fan 'and the sight of him eating Virginia - peanuts and cheering his team to victory would bring tears from the heart of a stone. He was himself a proficient wielder of the racquet. Ed's attractive personality will, beyond a doubt, create a deep ' if l I t 1 impression on the world outside just as it has on us.

Assistant Business Manager, PURPLE PATCHER 1 We have all some time or other heard of Connecticut, but few of us had ever heard of the town mentioned above until-the fall of 1912. It was then that a young man from that town, medium in stature, came amongst us. His dignified appearance, together with his quiet nature and studious disposition, won respect and friends for him, and these qualities of his gained for him the distinction of being crowned Count. . During his four' years the Count has always displayed that same V envied coolness that characterized him in Freshman. It was often' his calm voice that helped quench the frivolities of some sixty frisky youths in the dormitory. It was again this same unassuming manner that marked him out at a debate or class meeting as a man to heed. His i troubles have to all appearances been few indeed. In his facile manner masterfully that he soon mounted to the front rank in his classes. He of knowledge rather than the fame and glory of prize night. Although size prohibited him from winning laurels on the gridiron, nevertheless those who marked his natural skill on the tennis courts regretted that the Connecticut cyclone had not the 'time to perfect his l strokes and curves. If he had we are certain that Newport would have seen him facing the California Comet, the Peerless Williams or the fleet foot ohnson in the National :Y Y, J gs, championship. joe's ' Senior year was particularly active, for outside of his per- sonal affairs he was the roommate of O'Key and as such witnessed many of the stormy sessionsheld throughout the year. Joe's latent business ability procured for him the appointment as A Assistant Business Manager of the PATCHER. He and Cunnie should affect a material increase in the sale of our book. If you occasionally hear the Count drop a remark in the tongue of Victor Emmanuel don't be at all perturbed. It is only one of the results of his career as a teacher in the Italian Sunday School. ' Why, then, should not this young man from Connecticut succeed, l since he has mens sana in corpore sana?

PETER P. MICHAUD FRENCHVILLE., ME. T Pele - And hc comes from the lvilcis of Maine. Peter P. Michaud is his name, he comes from Frenchville, Maine, and his picture appears opposite. You may guess his ancestry, and if you don't guess right the first time you need never attempt to become a genealogist. But whatever Pete's ancestry, he is an American citi- zen and there is no hyphen about it either, although he admits that had his home town been moved but a few miles to the north he would now be hailed as a loyal subject of His Majesty. We are unable to find Frenchville on any map of Maine, but we find it much in evidence on the map at Holy Cross, as Pete is a worthy representative of any town, although we find little boosting of the old burg from Pete. He has not been much on athletics, but takes delight in tennisg in fact seems to be in his glory when on the courts. You would be sur- prised at his speed for such a little fellow. We do not know much about his all-around ability as a player, but if practice makes perfect he must be hitting for l,000. A course in Organic Chemistry in Senior proved so tempting that he could not forego the pleasure of experimenting with Aniline, etc. Sickness during almost his entire year put an unexpected check upon his ambitions in this line. He is one of the few among us who can boast of skill as a photog- rapher. Though he does not practice his art with the same ostentation as ,f ly , , his compatriot from Gilbertville, nevertheless he will leave behind him fa' many memoirs as the product of his skill. T A Though Pete could never be accused of making very much noise, -v !.9' X- still he had his own little esoteric coterie in which goodly comradeship Xb he was esteemed quite a favorite.

Freshman Baseball Quiet indeed must the sleeping hamlet of Rochdale have been when the village Adonis was ushered into the world. For it is said, and with some certainty, that the surroundings of childhood have some influ- ence on the character of the evolved man. And Frank, never being an exception in anything only in himself, followed the established formula, i and today is as bland, as innocent, as handsome as in his youth. He was numbered among the elite of the village school until, like all good men, he felt the inner unrest, the wish for something higher, and entered Leicester Academy, blessed with what many pray for, but few attain, a vocation. i He knew that it was Mt. St. James that was calling him from the beginning, and well did he heed it in his preparation. Withal he found time for other pursuits, namely baseball, which, if he has one, is his pet hobby. I-Ie starred on the Acad- emy team and has filled several engagements as reaper in the outer garden of some of the leading teams of the state. Uneventful, on the surface, has been his career at the college, but not so when one knows the real Frank, who sits and watches, gracing all, and while assiduously gleaning the tares he has seen the N good points in all things, and is known by all as a quiet and diligent stu- ,l. F dent, one who although not a social lion is a good fellow over all. ,ff v Many have accused him of being too reticent, but there's a reason, for, as has been said, he is gifted with a blessing, knowing the field of his .... N future labors. All that can be said is that this quality will be a help indeed, 'i fx for it is only one of an admixture, the other component of which may be N4,Q'f?7,',5f'f7557 ' , .iw , ' inferred, when on some occasions one hears him quoting philosophical cita- A 1 tions, to substantiate his claims of supremacy in argument over some younger if ij?-Eflpgigx ,,, ffl l ' or fellow classman. fi' I A N 7 ' ,l M , We hope that Frank will be as enthusiastic in his work among way- i'i'sffff', '.i.V lldifli gggr s ,f3Q'.lv i 9 1 ward souls, and bringing the gospel to the neglected heathen, as he has if i i l been in his school work, and surely he will, for Frank's life has always M pursued the even tenor of its way. rf: ' L , lf' -l' il' 5 1 F, QF , iepfswl 2251 fi i , X f xr! 1 1 ijt: lm-qggnghw M mr--ww-A 1 ,XX xg, -1,,Nr- 11, ,,7, , I .. . .. mf' 1' i:i:i'TiT':i':Tfg,iL3 if 5ifQf,,,'E, ,,,.Tfi1'ffQ 'i ,-' --. ., ,gui r,xye1 - llwvm Qf, 'Q1Qf , .,', Y f',f,i,iQi1.':ff ffl'Q'1'Tf--Qlijfffe-:11Q.:l. 1 1' ' . .'....

S. S. 11111 1 1 1 1 Away back in the September of l9l l, when most of us came to 1 1 111 Holy Cross, we found Dick waiting for us, and likewise his reputa- 1 1 tion. Frequently those two things are incompatible when both are actu- 11 ally known, but it was only until the day of the first class track meet 1 1 that any doubt rested in' our minds regarding their identity in this case. 11 U1 We had heard that Dick was a great hurdler, but we were sure ll ' 11, 1 of it when we saw him come bounding over those hurdles like a rubber 1 11' 1 A 1 1 1 1 it 11 11 I 1 ball, scoring point after point for the class, and later the same year, 1 1 1 1 ' 1 1 11 1 1, and every year thereafter, for his college. 1 1111 Dick was a day student, and the gain of his fellow day 'stu- 11 111111 dents was the loss of the boarders. However, he was friend to both 111 1 l alike and popular with every member of the class. Although it was his athletic prowess that first made 1 him well known to us, it was his all-around good fellowship that endeared him to our hearts, and while the first is merely transient the last is of a quality that will rest in our hearts for years to come. l 1 1 1 Holy Cross and the Class of l9l6 has had cause to be proud of Dick on many an occasion, and 1 11 his gentlemanly bearing ancl restraint in all athletic contests has done much to spread abroad fhe fair name of the college. Among the less experienced members of the track squad .ij 1 1 3 he was always popular and gave freely of his own knowledge to those who ,,, V f ' ly 1 would emulate him. 1 This he showed to great advantage in our Freshman year when as 11 1 1 1 - . -' QM? ff 1 1 1 Class Manager of Athletics he guided our team to a win over the Sopho- .- 1-I1 ' lf 1 1 1 1 mores 9 ' in iilllll 1 1 1 . 1 l I . ..y l' 17:1-T1 1' .

And indeed our only disappointment in Jimmie was that he could not devote more of his i time to athleticslbut responded to what was to him a more alluring call, l i that of the classroom. Here he was perfectly at home and more than l3,i3: N one fellow's reputation has been saved by Jimmie's coming to the rescue with eloquent translations of .Demosthenes, unique explanations in science or seemingly impossible solutions of things philosophical. 'i Jimmie has always followed athletics closely and will vie with Y Old Joe from the Woods as champion statistician. He can give the l 'l l I , ix pedigree of any baseball player in the college world even back to his prep days, and for the last four years 1 Ti . ii we have been watching his prophecies infallibly fulfilled.

B was the man that Fate picked for the job, however, and the scores of former scoffers that after a month or two trailed along similarly appareled only go to show how keen was her discernment of character. And moreover B turned this trick when nothing but a lowly Freshman. But to proceed to sterner things. Murph will be remembered first and foremost as he appeared on the football gridiron, and immedi- ately after that, as he appeared on the sidelines in the capacity of 1 coach for the class teams. No German university student ever carried more marks of conflict than grace the lithe body of john Basil Murphy. and it was only as a result of the unfortunate series of accidents that brought about those scars that B does not wear a football H. C. on his jersey. In the less dangerous struggle on the tennis court B was here again, a foe to be reckoned with, as many of those whom he deemed worthy of his catgut can testify. While B may have excelled on the athletic field, still he was equally celebrated in the more intellectual pursuits which every now and then thrust themselves upon the attention of even the college student. He was I X lg the backbone of the Scientific Circle and his famous lecture on the Ford if in would always be repeated for the asking. As a Sunday Visitor Basil's activities are too well known to need more than this passing mention. The boys on Second Beaven often partook of B's hospitality CPD and his room was a rendezvous for all their meetings. At Holy Cross B was reckoned as one of the popular and suc- cessful men of his class-and he gained this distinction because of his kindly f V disposition, his scholarly attainments and qualities of character. If these - N' ! 1 same characteristics are worth anything in the years to come, then B gl' V5 - 'g has simply to continue to be the same good fellow he is now in order to ' ' Q Q ' have many envy him as we few do on Mt.

Class Football 43, 4p. It is strange but true that by so quiet a manner Chester would have wound his way into the intimate friendship and affection of his class till he reached a pillar and stood there-a man of bearing and authority. i After spending one year at Mt. St. lVlary's in Emmettsburg he believed that a sojourn to Mt. St. James would be the finishing touch to his education, so he journeyed to the Hill of Pleasant Springs. His studious habits and self-confidence soon placed him among the leaders. and when we regard his collection of tickets he is surely entitled to a place of honor. Chester has held himself aloof from the more spectacular and social side of college life and an outsider may be deceived as to his importance. Still, while he did not shine in athletics, who can be oblivious of the fact that he was a member of the l9I6 Senior football team. . After his affiliation with the Knights in Senior Chester's demand for night permissions became more frequent and insistent. The fact that he was a member of the large family of lVlurphies in our class put Chester in a special frat.

When Jimmie shook the dust of Chicopee for the more allur- ing pastures of Mt. St. James we fear that his home town got the blues, for the moment Jimmy Murphy encamped in the Annex, No. 6 became the rendezvous of Annexian wit and drollery, with Jim playing the title role. Care free and easy going, ,limmie's happy dis- position gained him popularity from the start and along with Sam he generally formed the center of the corridor's activities, social and other- wise. However, ,lim's popularity was not confined to the Annex, for it is rumored that he played the part of conquering hero in Worces- ter society. In baseball Murph is one of the many who come to Holy Cross with a rep, but one of the few to live up to it. He is slight of build, but a fine athlete, and easily held down the initial sack on Holy Cross' first Freshman team. Occasionally he put in an appearance for basketball, and when he played there was life and plenty. He was at his best, however, when on the tennis courts with a fast, safe game, a serve of a McLoughlin and an unerring return. When we think of studies the Hrst thing that suggests itself in Murph is Chemistry. jim's love for this subject was not sated in Junior but he elected to pursue the course in Organic Chemistry. As the social sponsor for that child of Fashion, Dan Broderick, L ll. jim ushered into Worcester society one of the most promising young men that ever drank tea out of a china cup. 1 And yet another frequenter of his favored room was the chairman of in -125 1. 5 'KQV' Y the Hood Committee, that Thespian Extraordinary, john Cummings. --,- Ig - ..-- l - Murph has always been a class favorite, for how could he be otherwise?

Class Football C3, 4D: Class Track QU: Class Basketball The old axiom that actions speak louder than words applies to jack particularly. To those outside his most intimate friends john- nie might seem as silent and immovable as the Sphinx, but we, who know him well, have been impressed by reports of his many con- quests down-town. jack and Harold became inseparables in Junior and ever since, their team work on the occasions of city trips has resulted in many successes. Although we were baflled at first as to the source of his tireless energy, now we know that Jack never misses his after dinner beauty sleep. Jack is an old resident on Mt. St. James, in fact, he and ' Andy have quite forgotten when it was they arrived on the Hill. Almost any afternoon in the winter, you niay see Johnnie in the gym, training for the basketball series. It is not alone at basketball that Jack has excited our admiration, for we cannot but remember how valiantly he guarded right end in the game against 'l5. jack's entrance into class every morning in junior A would be accompanied by Do you think he'll call on me? But we became so used to the expression that we soon knew that it was but a blind, and that Johnnie was only waiting for a chance to startle us with his 'i , brief but pithy answers. His friendship with Tom lVlcl..ean in the old Prep days led the two of them to make many a secret trip together. Silky, together with Tom Lang, was a great favorite in Father Heaney's class. He helped to make the time pass by his witty retorts and by suggest- ing answers which the gullible Walter accepted without further question. It is hard to see how Jack can tear himself away from Worcester. v I X ,' after graduation, but we are sure that great success awaits him wherever it A he decides to seek his fortune. . : ill .xi I itil ' 'Q . jx . , lil .l l-Fri? x X ' X i 5 WB! ti 7 .

Al can say e-yah more like a freight train going up grade than anyone in the class. Since O'Bie has been at Holy Cross his voice has made him an invaluable member of the Choir and Glee Club.

It has been said that O'Bie's room at home is decorated with testimonials, but he claims that this is an empty rumor. Al seemingly has a warm spot in his heart for the Keystone State because most of his acquaintances hail from that section of the country.

How often have we beheld him in class and college debate rise to the occasion and brilliantly fill the gap created by the weakness of a previous speaker! Without doubt Bill outclasses all other debaters at Holy Cross. He is blessed with a truly wonderful voice. Together with this he possesses a mind deeply philosoph- ical in trend which surely is the basis of clear cut ideas and cogent reasoning. Pronounced literary tastes enable him to propose his arguments clearly and attractively. Bill has been a leader throughout his course. He was Class President in Freshman, Secretary of the Philomathic in Sophomore and President of the B. F. in Junior. In addition he has for four years represented I9l6 and Holy Cross on their debating teams.

CHERRY VALLEY, MASS. uljranlen nl-lappyn Full many a gem of purest ray serene The zlarlf unfallmmed caves of ocean bear. . Full many a flower is born lo blush unseen And waste its sweetness on llie desert air. And unseen he did blush, endowed even with the powers he was, for many a day 'midst the rural quietudes of Cherry Valley. Nearer, however, drawn as toward a loadstone he came to the metropolis, and his wanderings finally culminated in matriculation in Leicester Acad- emy. There midst pleasant surroundings he blossomed into the happy individual he is today, and received his cognomen, which indicates not mere geniality, but a certain cheerful fortitude which has strengthened him midst the untimely calamities, which it seems have often fallen to A year spent in forwarding the mill industries of his native town added a somewhat more serious touch to his nature, and he ascended Mt. St. James a seasoned veteran, a wiser man, fresh from the sordid affairs of the world, one in short, who realized what was before him, and more so, what lay behind. Gifted, yes, indeed so. Ay, a veritable Booth in disguise is this young man, and his halting entrance on the stage of the opera is ever marked by a deadening salvo of applause. Throughout, his course has been characterized by a certain purpose and praiseworthy, though not unexpected tenacity. School for school's sake, is his maxim, and well he has lived up to it. Frank always looks before he leaps, and conservative though he is, the occasion has never found him wanting. Long will be remembered his persuasive eloquence in Junior, trying to secure that hour in the afternoon, speaking as he was ensconced in all the magisterial powers of Beadle. Surely, one marked by such earnestness, seasoned withal as it is with such timely conservatism, will not be slighted by Dame Fortune in her dis- tribution of rewards. . ir, -'Cr '- -.. ,s 77' if, fl L L Fi ,.zfL-zlfgfm, if ..f4,es2' af i 1 X, iw i A ,.w ,' lwi -JVM? fig? , My vflzhr igij llll f..ifUf'.! e1i'..'f?.Q tl all '- ':' -wt: .:: ' , H l ' 1 gi Ag' ' -K Y a 'v mf X ,W . , R , 'sf ll 'l flaw Hi' l ..,J 1 .,....-. - 1 ,ral .

BRADFORD PRINCE PROVIDENCE, R. 1. qw 4 Paul Pham , And a lady poured precious perfumes on his head. Back in the far distant past when the Holy Cross Prep. School A l 1 Mi was an actuality Paul Prince was one of its brightest jewels. Fre- l' L X, quently it was long before sunrise when he was obliged to rise from his 'j E11 downy couch at the paternal residence in Webster and begin prepara- I Q1 Q tions for his daily journey to Worcester-for Paul was then a day : student. Sometimes, however, the ancestral alarm clock failed to stir 1 the distant echo with its loud sonorous clang and Paul missed the il 1 1 ll first train. As a result the sight of his bursting in the classroom well ' l, after the start of the first hour was not an unusual one. However, it i, was evident that he had tried to be on time, for his cheeks were colored , ' 1' a bright crimson and perspiration stood on his brow. iiilfl ' In Freshman Paul gave up the unequal struggle and came to 1 ll' ' ' live among us permanently as a' boarderi Upon him were stamped, 1 V li however, two indelible marks of his' early training. One was his red cheeks, which he holds to this 1 , f day, and the other was the determination to make up the many hours of sleep lost in his commuting days. A good natured young man is never obtrusive and Paul is certainly a good natured young man. 1 3 . His smile, like the poor, we have with us always and a pleasant word we receive from him when we most l ll need it. No religious ever wore his habit more zealously than did Paul ff, j A 1 I his bathrobe during his four years at Holy Cross. The sight of Paul fi! .4 , if? l l . with a trailing robe de chambre on his back and an ancient nose warmer in his mouth-not to forget Paul's favorite bedroom slippers-is a :WA -Z l familiar one to us all and with him they will always be associated. ll? K .'Paul was not one-sided by any means and he took his pleasure 1, S1 , as well as work with the same unfailing good nature, and this same quality -.f V ll ff, lil l M 1 always made him a much-sought-after companion.

There is an old saying that good things come in small packages, and in Pete we have a small package from Connecticut. We have often wondered why Pete and Dutch do not come to Holy Cross by parcel post, but some day it may be explained to us. Pete is a product of the former prep and rumor has it that he has been here under three rectors. Pete has weathered many a storm on Mt. St. James and has come out of them all unscratched. It is not difficult to recall Pete's triumphs in Freshman and Sophomore, but when we come to Junior and Senior all other years fade into oblivion. In Philosophy he made his mark: who could pro- pose a thesis which he could not prove, or an objection which he could not answer? Ask Dixie if we do not speak the truth. We must not forget that in Pete we have a champion tennis player. He has been a member of the Varsity team for four years. ' It is to Pete that a certain member of the class owes his life, if we are to judge from the mood of one or two of our friends on a memorable seventeenth of March during Junior year. Here Pete showed his ability as a peacemaker, and poured oil on the troubled waters. In our consideration of those who have attained proficiency in their studies we must not fail to mention Pete's all around ability as a mathe- matician. I Enumerated among the many escapades of Leo, the man from Bor- neo is his bout with Petey. Despite the disadvantage in size and reach ' Pete performed in a manner eminently satisfactory to his admirers. There is a time, not far distant, when all of Pete's good qualities A will stand him in good stead, and that is the time when he takes his place ' N ' in the world. No one need fear that he cannot succeed as a pedagogue l for he surely has the training and ability, and we trust that some day he ' - will become headmaster in Waterbury High School. ,.gl, X . 01,16 X tj M5 as 'i .1 ,hx so K ,WN i I i. .

Andy is perhaps the original tennis enthusiast of Holy Cross . and at least he is the original practical one. Due to his advice and his i endeavors, tennis occupies the high position in Holy Cross that it does today. When the Class of 1916 came to Holy Cross we had no team, only four courts, and little interest. Today tennis is frequently the most absorbing subject of undergraduate activity. Andy was 5 one of its greatest boosters in the dark days of the past and his selection as Varsity Manager for this sport l , was but a fitting reward for his labors, and the winning team of which he is a playing member as well as .N X manager, the twelve courts always occupied and the hundreds of students clamoring for an opportunity to l M play are further testimonials of his energy.

For we defy anyone to point out the man that surpasses him. Joe is one of our seven year men and for seven years he has undergone vicissitudes innumerable and emerged from them all triumphant. He has as many sides as a crystal and a career worthy of them all. Since Freshman he has been showing us how to do things in a way they were never done before, and the strange thing about it is that his is generally the best way. We fear that Worcester will sadly miss Joe after the june of l9l6-but then he may decide to come back after a little and settle down near one of those spots where he has been such a frequent visitor during past years. His face was ever a familiar one Summa via and seven years of close attention to the art of forming new acquaintances has made a stroll down that celebrated thoroughfare for joe a continual succession of happy smiles and pleasant nods. Joe is also an athlete. We remember him best in that line back in Freshman, when the Freshman baseball team was greatly strengthened by his services. As a speaker he is incomparable and even now we l ,J XJIA1 Q i X f foretell of future audiences swayed and captured by the very eloquence of the man. Joe's career as a de- bater was brilliant though of short duration. Though he did not come out for the team until his Senior year, to him belongs the credit of revivifying our team and of leading the only winning team I9I6 ever had in an inter- class debate. The wordy wrangles of the Philomathic and B. F. would lack something of their flavor were not Velvet Joe present to raise his hand and, with a few well-worded sentences, quell the feelings of the mul- titude. It is as Cheerleader Riley that we will all best remember him, and we will remember him as the man that put the leader in Cheerleader. Joe today bears the hard won fame of making the fellows cheer when they didn't want to, and due to his enthusiasm this branch of student activity reached a point higher than ever before attained. ..f.

He 'thinks Scranton, lives Scranton and spends the greater part of his time trying to convince us of the wonders of that self-same city. Many a time the debate waxed warm concerning the relative merits of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, but as jerry had considerably the louder voice Scranton usually prevailed. On resuming studies in Junior we were met by several new faces in the class. One of these was Jerome Ruddy who having absorbed all the knowledge available at St. Thomas' presented himself at the door of Holy Cross and sought admission. He knocked and was re- ceived. The first week found him an inmate of the infirmary, due to protuberances on the neck. Applying the old saying that each one was worth five dollars he was undaunted by his misfortune and began his work with the vigor for which he has become known. Being possessed of a bit of humor he became quite a funmaker and kept his companions in good spirits by exercising the aforesaid talent. Many of us meet with peculiar incidents in our college course. Jerry is not without his. It hap- pened during the Thanksgiving' holidays. Not having time to go home on account of the distance he spent thelholidays at the college. One evening there was an affair in the Knights ' of Columbus hall. Jerry attended and what happened there is an inter- i esting little story. We will not attempt to narrate it for we think that he I alone can do it justice. - f, In our Senior year Fr. Coveney organized a glee club at the college. - ffl--,X,qg1f.i,, One of the candidates was none other than Ruddy himself. He had his ff -'.AV voice tested and was given a place in second bass. Q ' Although he has been in our midst only two years he has made a very K- V , k good impression upon us, both as a student and as a social being. He be- 'f, ,.v4 , 4 F' lieves in the truth of the Ethical statement that man is naturally social and Q !:'l'1T,f,ti... E his nature can be properly developed only in society.

He is one of those favored sons of Fortune who takes life easy and never worries what weal or woe the morrow will bring forth. Shock's room is a trysting place for the Old Guard and as he is an ideal host it is seldom that some one of the crowd is not to be ' found there. When Silky and Jack are the talkers with the Knights as the topic of conversation, Razzle with his tales of that dog team tearing over the snow-clad fields of Alaska has to take a back seat. As a football player Jack showed as an athlete of no mean ability. Particularly this fact was evidenced in the many fine games he played with the Second team. He was chosen Captain of Basketball in Junior, and in Senior the Football captaincy was a further tribute to his ability as a leader. Not content with the social life of Worcester Jack has frequently regaled himself with trips to Providence over Sunday, later returning with wonder- ful tales of Little Rhody. Jack has long since distinguished himself by the versatile manner in which he adapts ,himself to all branches of the curriculum. 131' l-le is of a simple and cheerful disposition and the spirit of true com- 1 ' 1 - radeship so characteristic of him has won for him innumerable devoted ,gig 11 W- , friends. 1 Jack's motorcycle enabled him to keep in close touch with what 11. the Braves and Red Sox were doing. f 1' Every available Sunday and holiday would find him fiying over the L 1 .,f- tip roads to Fenway Park. fffll 1 111 With Coyne on thefrear seat and a level stretch of road before him, V,,g3fiQ3.::1g1' Jack could give a fine exhibition of record time on the San Monica track. 4 A good student, we may characterize Jack Shaughnessy, a N' ', 1 true comrade, and a steadfast friend.

And indeed he is: his pleas- ant disposition and splendid personality at once mark him out as a man you would like to know. Tom never fully appreciated his worth in this regard, it seems, but nevertheless he sometimes used it to his advantage, especially, it is rumored, among those of the fairer sex. But there is something more to Tom He is a student in every sense of the word as well as a thinker of merit. Always taking a keen interest in debating activities he has developed a faculty of seeing clearly and arguing logically. His style is to some extent peculiar to ' f himself, yet his clear ideas and forceful manners of presenting them make a strong impression on his listeners. In class Tom has no less an enviable reputation, having carried away many honors and medals, the fruits of four years of consistent work and persevering effort. There is still another role in which Tom has distinguished himself. As manager of our football eleven he has worked with zeal and earnestness to make the gridiron season a notable one., His efforts were crowned with success at every turn, for they have marked a new era vi - in football for Holy Cross. A Under his guidance Eddie and his football warriors have gone forth to battle, bringing back not only praise and honor to the college, but frequently the laurels of victory. X l Such is the career that Dame Fortune marked out for Tom at Holy Cross, but from all reports Tom's record among us is only a con- t tinuation of that established in his own city of Norwich, Conn. Tom is bent upon entering business after I9I6, possibly to rival Tx X the great Henry Ford himself. However, we may well say that in what- 3 , . ever line his energies are directed, Tom will always enjoy the respect of N fill Hr. his fellowmen and the admiration of his friends. my W lf.

For the benefit of those few who need an-introduction, and they are certainly very few, he is William D. Shea, tonsorial artist, of Wor- cester, Mass. Living at the foot of Ml. Sl. james, Willie has breathed the atmosphere of Holy Cross from his very childhood. Draw- ing his enthusiasm from the mighty baseball and football victories, with their celebrations by night, he cherished an ardent desire that he too ' 'Q N might be enrolled among the students on the hilltop: and to gratify his l wish as much as possible, he began by climbing the hill every night to I deliver newspapers. l Carefree and uneoncerned, Bill sailed along his high school , course, the direction always due Holy Cross. South High School's ' loss was Holy Cross' gain, for in the fall of I9I 2 Bill took his books and ascended the hill to join the Class of l9l6. Outside school Bill is a knight of the razor and scissors, and whether he be working, studying or playing basketball, Bill has the smile that has won him so many friends. In every field he has been successful and even as a whist player it is said he is making rapid strides. We hope he is, for it would be too bad if he failed in this after achieving renown in other ythings. In Junior Bill, together with another Day Scholar, Mike Kelly, appeared as a recruit for our fast slipping basketball teams. The confirmed brace which the teams took immediately afterwards is a token of the speed and spirit Bill instilled into his teammates. -N In every field he has been successful and even as a whist player it is W1 - K said he is making rapid strides.

Perhaps it was because John D. Sheehan finally intended to reach Holy Cross that he left Maine to attend the Classical High School in Worcester. At any rate black enrolled and became an earnest student of the classics. And right here it might be mentioned that had not his teacher of High School Greek insisted upon clear enunciation, and full tones in speech, woman suffrage might have lost an earnest appeal in its behalf. Four years in high school brought out ,Iohn's ability as a student, dramatist, and public speaker: for, notwithstanding the long hours spent with Xenophon, Cicero, Virgil, etc., he found time to take part in the 1 diamatics of the school: and no less was his fame as a declaimer and debater. Once on the hill, however, modesty and a certain shyness restrained himg yet, on demand of an elocu- tion class, fiery oratory flowed from his silvery tongue, in such harmony and fluency that it is to be re- gretted that he did not earlier show his wares. If you did not know him, it would not be a very difficult task to pick him out: for there are certain characteristics about him that distinguish him from all others. A- Perhaps most prominent is his aversion for all undue haste it may ' befand it would be no surprise-that this trait earned for him, in Junior, the litle, the late Mr. Sheehan. His collar and tie had to be just so. In fact, after looking at him, one might look for the proverbial band-box. Yet, let nobody mistake the spirit of this writing. For such a charac- ter, of so many pleasing traits, can hardly be portrayed with justice to them all. His quiet manner, neat appearance and ready wit, all contribute to a personality that will in the future, as it has in the past, win countless friends for Jack and honor for Worcester. 'fxii 'N ff f Af-iSwfq1:e-- . if f I . ,lJ'5.gQ'tlClfl!1lwlll I I WILLIAM P. STANTON, JR. WORCESTER, MASS. CIBEIIII Who is that man so digniferl and straight? For as we all know Bill has friends, even if one of the closest of them heralds his entrance anywhere by Oh Bill! For Bill is not loquacious, nay is reticent, but beneath that reticence glows a warm personality. Bill led an uneventful course in the schools of Worcester, and finally matriculated at Holy Cross. Here he soon became famous as the first president and initiator of the Goophers' Club, into which club he immediately propelled several, may I say, willing members. Funny though it may seem, Bill is not a heart breaker, although he is a fine heart taker, as some will testify. To see him coming one would expect a college professor, for his swinging gait has some peculiar air of dignity about it, but when he un- ravels himself and his head once more is evident, from the wrappings thereof, one only sees the quizzical smile of the keen observer of life. He is an earnest worker and has established a good record for future Stantons to live up to. Bill is always looking out for the future, not only in school, but in outside and more worldly affairs as well. One of the surprises of the Senior oratorical contests was the ease and grace with which this supposedly bashful youth discoursed and expatiated upon a current topic. I, He has a wonderful reserve to bring into play in life's future trials, in a wonderful dispkmsition, which undisturbed even in the embroglios of the Day Boys' Sanctum, runs the ,, .5' 4' even tenor of its way. it -f- ..- ,... . cj It is a fine tribute to say of Bill that he was quiet and reserved 3,,gQj,p--- .1 4 .',' .g ,f-7, . - and yet a Day Scholar.

Sully is one of that kind of young men at whom those of the opposite sex turn to look twice. Moreover his good looks are supple- mented with a charm of conversation and an innate sense of humor that makes his friendship grow more valued with each succeeding year. Ed was a day student, so that most of us were a little late in finding him out, but once he was known he was liked, and the longer he was known the better he was liked. And surely that is an infallible sign of true worth. Ed does not rest on mere popularity for his laurels, however, for he is possessed of a very clever little machine setting well up over his shoulders, a piece of mechanism that has carried him along smoothly over four years of the Classics and Philosophy. He has never refused to favor us with a few words when called upon and his power of eloquence was scarce surpassed by the interesting and logical manner in which he told us things really worth while. The man who ever discovered Ed accompanied by a regular grouch is yet to be found and we think he will prove as elusive as the Missing Link, for Ed Sullivan and a grouch are mutually con- tradictory terms. i No account of Ed and his accomplishments would be complete ,l. unless some mention were made of his athletic ability, and while it was not -- phenomenal it was still of a good healthy variety that made him a power to be reckoned with, especially on the football gridiron. , ,h ...aff ., As the gridiron was graced by his efforts, so also the diamond. If , N the Day Scholars had been possessed of a team Ed would surely have won a place as a guardian of the outer defences. . His clever play at end for his class in Senior was indicative of an ability of a high order. X Y, Y' If hard work and real ability will accomplish anything-and they , .

But especially are we proud of johnny Norton, who made a very capable and efficient baseball captain in Sophomore: of Gerard Zimmerman. who played left tackle on the Varsity this year and proved a tower of strength for the whole lineg and above all of Andy Kelly, who recently brought us before the eyes of the whole country' by winning the national 300-yards championship, and who also proved the sensation of the New England Intercollegiates by winning and breaking the records in both the l00 and 200- yard dashes. And, too. in the great hall of fame, have we carved a glorious shrine to l9l7 and heaped high therein the laurels gained throughout our Anabasis. There's a championship in debate for every year, in basketball for Sophomore, and in football for Junior: not to mention the victor's crown which we have shared with other classes. We also claim the champion wielder of the tennis racquet in college in Lansing Tiffany. To our literary talent the pages of The Purple bear testimony, especially those contributions signed George Roesch, jr. As Thespians we also have become famous, not only in the big college plays, but in our own little class entertainments. But what is best, notwithstanding all our outside activity, our records in the class-room have been unusually high. And so, when we consider the past it is with feelings of hope and ambition that the loyal Class of l9l 7 looks out upon the future, smiles and is confident. l7l I .4- ' V., 1- 4 ,. ,,.-uw -, ... .

I a ll Qllaau nf 1513 In September, l9l5, the largest Freshman class in the history of our Alma Mater returned as Sophomores with a renewed eagerness for successful endeavor and with the same noteworthy energy and lively class spirit which had brought them to the van of classes the previous year. The excellent standard of scholarship, which had characterized their former efforts, had not diminished, but became brighter and more resplendent with the passing of the months. With commendable regularity month after month an unusually large num- ber of tickets was distributed, while the general average of the class was an evidence of the industry and ability of its members. This year, as last, a worthy representation was made by the Class of l9l 8 in athletics, both Varsity and Class. In each of the athletic branches our class has distinguished itself. It has generously contributed to the Gridiron, the Dia- mond and Track. Beginning the year with the victory of the interclass track meet, ranking second, and a very close second in the interclass football series, last, but not least, ending the interclass events by an illustrious victory, which was the more appreciated because of the close struggle, our enthusiasm in our athletes has been at the highest pitch. No little pride exists in the fact that two essive men have been chosen to captain the Varsity Football Squad for the and succ coming season, and we know that in Ray Lynch the team is sure to meet with success. C ' D l' Hol Cross loses one of the most brilliant quarterbacks that In the passing of ex- aptam ev m y ever put foot on Fitton Field. This worthy representative of l9l8 was for two years in succession the sensation of the Eastern colleges. In debating, theatric als, literature, and in fact everything collegiate, I9l8 produly boasts leaders, and thus we go on with the same loyal devotion to our Alma Mater, happy in the assurance that each in- dividual success is bringing added glory to her already famous name.

In every branch of college activity have Freshmen made their pres- ence felt. In the class-room, our members have maintained the honor of our class and their own reputations as scholars, while our contributions to The Purple, although few in number, have nevertheless been of the highest order. Our orators have displayed unusual ability both in the societies and in public debates. Along musical lines, both in the Orchestra and Glee Club, Freshmen have dis- played unusual talent. Not the least of their achievements along this line was the organization of a very acceptable orchestra composed entirely of our classmen. Lastly, we mention the performances of Freshmen on the athletic fields. Probably no class in the history of the college has aided so materially in the success of Holy Cross athletics in its first year as l9l9. Six of the twelve letter men in football were Freshmen. Our athletes have already shown their ability on the track. In baseball, men of l9l9 promise to eclipse even the performances of their classmates on the football field. Bowen, Wiglesworth, Donnellan, Gill and Spillane have shown unusual ability and comprise a nucleus for next year's team, which bids fair to prove a champion. I9l9 has contributed several to the Track squad who promise to develop into worthy rivals of Higgins and Kelly themselves. The biggest social event of our season was the Freshman banquet, and we have the information from those who know that it was The Freshman Banquet. With our usual progressiveness, we set a precedent by singing a college song, composed by one of our members. We have shown our ability as entertainers by furnishing our college mates with an excellent minstrel show. at the college entertainments and in urging our athletic teams on to victory. In any branch of college life you may name, the Class of I9I9 has been well represented. It will be the aim of every l9I9 man to maintain the high standard which has already meen set and, if possible, better it during our next three years as Holy Cross men. 1. C. KEEFE, 'I9.

SULLIVAN 183 GD Gil ' Efiilbsz, Zllnnthall Taken all in all the football season of l9l5 should be considered a successful one. As an opening game, Bates was met on Fitton Field and defeated, 7-0, in a contest in which the Purple truly outclassed its opponents, but displayed many marked evidences of early season form. The following week came the memorable game at West Point, when the Army was held to a I4-l 4 score, and a brilliant.page was entered in the history of Holy Cross football. To have witnessed that game is a recollection which time can never blot from the memory of a Holy Cross man. For the deeds of that plucky band of Purple warriors on the fog-shrouded cliff at West Point can never suffer total effacement. Springfield Training School was next encountered, but it proved a winner, when securing a 7-0 victory, due to the poor defensive work of the Purple. Although in a weakened condition because of injuries, M. A. C. was held to a 7-7 tie score the following week. Another brilliant contest was staged, for the Aggies had held Harvard to a single touchdown the previous Saturday. The Purple team then suffered a lapse of form and went down to defeat by a I0-0 score at the hands of Fordham, easily the weakest team they had encountered. The new field at Boston College was dedicated- by a 9-0 Holy Cross victory over its famed rivals of the Maroon and Gold. - After a lethargic mode of playing in the first half, the Purple team returned in the second half and almost overcame the seemingly insurmountable lead gained by Carlisle in the game on November 6th. However, victory was not destined to perch over the Purple banner, and the game ended with the score 23-Zl in favor of the Indians. On Thanksgiving Day, amidst all the settings of a classic contest, the pinnacle of form was reached when Worcester Tech had to bow in humble submission before the Purple and accept a 26-0 defeat at their hands.

As Yale has had her Legore, as Harvard has had her Mahan and Bricltley, so has Holy Cross had her Brawley. Being easily one of the greatest players that ever defended the Purple his ability was universally recognized in Sophomore when his name was prominently mentioned for the honor of All-American center.. E.d's greatest services were performed as captain, when his aggressive per- O'Kecfe sonality was invaluable in instilling the fighting spirit in the men in the face of a heavier and more formidable foe. E.ddie's presence on the field was worth severaftouchdowns. His work in the Carlisle game in junior was a revelation. Brawley As a steady and reliable player, with all those traits that go to make a good football man, none can equal Bob O'Keefe, another member of the class and a winner of his H. C. in football. Ever displaying a spirit of earnestness and co-operation on the field, Bob had a way of endearing himself to players. He came to us in Sophomore and immediately secured a permanent position on the line. In Senior we were deprived of his services, due to injuries, but he and his deeds will ever occupy a place of distinction on the pages of Holy Cross football history. IB7 , I illunthall Elrihutez Frank Dolan is the third member of our class to wear the football insignia upon his breast. For four years Frank labored hard, lending daily effort to the upbuilding of four football teams. His endeavors in the backfield were produc- tive of results long to be remembered by followers of the Purple. Frank's ability won him the honor of starting many of the big games and the fact that he was thus singled out by several coaches is an eloquent tribute to his ability. Frank is perhaps the only one in our class who participates in both gridiron and diamond sports. ..,':x? - K ' t Dolan We next turn our eyes towards one who has ever since Freshman been notice- able because of his association with Holy Cross football, Arthur Cogan. His has ever been an interest most keen, a devotion most lasting. H , Bubbles was strong on size but not much for speed. Although he par- ticipated in many games, still he never took part in a sufficient number to win him his letters. These were awarded to him in Senior.

But be- cause of injuries Murph was obliged to leave '- After his departure from the squad, Murph Finn .r'v Kelley Mike Kelley came into promi- nence in his Junior year in the class game. He was prevailed upon to cast his lot with the Varsity squad. ,Gifted with splendid physique and natural ability, he would surely have attained a regular position had he made he de- but into Varsity circles at an oppor- tune time.

An exceptionally strong schedule arranged by Manager lVlcNamee began with the Southern trip. This proved eminently successful, our Varsity winning the majority of its games. Gut new men, Bowen, Wiglesworth, Cooley. Spillane and Donnellan all showed up well on this trip and gave good promise to developing into stars fully as bright as those which have graced our athletic firmament in the past. On the return from the South unexpected resistance was encoun- tered on the part of the Penn team, Holy Cross being beaten 6-0. Donnellan, a Freshman, twirlecl a splendid game against Williams, that team going down to defeat 2-l. With a victory almost within our grasp we were beaten by Yale at New Haven 4-I. Catholic Uni- versity and Brown also administered defeats to our team. Though the reaction came when we defeated Trinity l0-5 by fierce hitting, our first real chance to show our mettle came in the Yale game on May Gerard MeNamce l3th. After a great battle between Donnellan and Garfield of Yale Chick Bowen singled in the ninth, driving in the winning run. He thus brought about a defeat of Yale on Fitton Field, something that Purple teams had for six years tried in vafn to accomplish. It is hoped that in the Yale game 'our team has struck its real stride and that in the remaining games we shall have our full share of success and victory. Harvard administered a crushing defeat to our colors, while we came forth victors over Brown and President of the A. A. Dartmouth.

Increasing its speed with each succeeding year the relay team this year brought a long sought honor to Alma Mater by breaking the record in the Championship Class B race at the University of Pennsylvania Relay Carnival last April. Running against Penn State, Columbia, Syracuse and several others, the Purple Quartet headed by Capt. joe Higgins, 'l6, ran through its mile in the remarkable time of 3 minutes, 25 seconds, a time bettered only by the Big Five running for the championship of America. - The work of this same relay team throughout the winter was such that its fame spread throughout New England. While many believed that the height of perfection had been reached a year ago when the Holy Cross relay team won in the same class at the Penn. Carnival, still it was found that greater improvement than was thought possible had been made and that the l9l6 team was seconds faster than anything ever turned out in the past. This year brought Holy Cross its first national champion. Andrew B. Kelly, 'I 7, gained the coveted prize by running a wonderful three hundred at the national chtampionship games in New York. ln the New England Intercollegiates Holy Cross came through in splendid fashion. Higgins easily won the half, while a piece of hard luck lost him the quarter. Kelly won the IOO and 200-yard dashes, breaking the records in both events. Holy Cross finished third with a total of I8 points. Looking over the past year as a whole, it may be said that the work of the track team is one of the brightest jewels in the athletic crown of Holy Cross. True we have specialized to some extent, as all leaders must expect to do, and our Cross Country team is still to be heard from. However, a fine relay team has been developed. The strides in the field events have been great ones and the work of the men in nearly every track event is such that it has won them national fame and Holy Cross untold honors.. With but a semblance of this same progress during the next few years the name of Holy Cross will be linked most certainly with numerous champions and championships. I97 Zine Higgins N. E.. A. A. U. Indoor Champion, 600 yards. N. E.. A. A. U. Outdoor Champion. 880 yards. N. E.. l. A. A. Half-mile Champion, 'l5, 'l6. . Half-mile Champion of East at Panama Exposition tryout. In Freshman Joe made his first appearance in the dual track meet between Freshmen and Sopho- mores and easily won the half-mile race in fast time. The indoor season found joe a star member of the relay team. His most notable feat there was the winning of the relay race against Brown. At the Emmet Guard meet he defeated several stars in the half-mile. In the outdoor season he forged to the front in the half and mile races at the meet with Colby. He also defeated Keith of W. P. I., then holder of the N. E.. Intercollegiate record for the mile, in a half- mile race. His best performance of the year was when he forced Taber of Brown to break the N. E.. record for the half. He was scarcely a footibehind the wonderful Taber in l.55 2-5. The indoor season found him anchor man on the team that defeated Dartmouth, Georgetown and Tech. He ran second to Halpin in the Col. Pfaff trophy race. Though in poor physical condition he won the half-mile against Colby and Tech. It was easily seen that he was not right and he did well to secure third place at the N. E. Intercollegiates. ln his junior year he met many successes. He ran anchor on the team that beat Columbia, Syra- cuse, Navy, U. of Va. and others at the Penn. relays. He won the Mayor Curley trophy for lO00 yards, defeating Mel Sheppard. One of his greatest victories of the year took place when he won the half-mile at the N. E.. Intercollegiates, defeating Granger of Dartmouth and Dempsey of Maine. During the summer he won the Eastern championship trials for the coast, defeating Caldwell in l.56 2-5 seconds. At the National championships at San Francisco he was third in the half, a foot behind Le Roy Campbell and Dave Caldwell, men he had previously beaten at New York, where he forced Ted Meredith to equal the 600 record. Climate conditions interfered with the Eastern stars. Joe was unanimously chosen Captain of Track for his Senior year. This year in the inter- class meet Joe made a new half-mile record of l.56, a record which will stand for many a day. He had the distinction of being the only indoor runner of the season to defeat Ted Meredith in every start, the most notable being the one in which our captain won the McAleenan trophy at the I. A. A. C. games. During the season Caldwell, Baker, Devaney, Leslie and others were victims of Joe's speed. To crown his indoor success Joe won the 600-yard title Of New England. Captain Joe finished his college career by winning the half at the N. E. Intercollegiates. 198 Higgins Edward M. Brawley, Jr., was one of the most reliable point winners in the weight events that Holy Cross has turned out in late years. Ed al- ways seemed able to locate a place in either the shot-put or the discus-throw and the same arm that helped Holy Cross win so many football victories was equally powerful in a track and field meet. Erark Efrihutez Joseph T. Higgins first came into prominence as a track man when he represented his class in the an: nual interclass games during the fall of his Fresh- man year. From that time on his progress was almost A phenomenal, he held a high place throughout his four years at college and in addition was a big point win- ner at all the intercollegiate meets. Brawley 200 Mooney Richard A. Mooney is another l9l6 man that won his track letters during each of his four years at col- lege. He was a consistent winner throughout his whole four years and filled the gap where Holy Cross has always been weakest. f ' .

But at present the twelve courts at the college are insufficient to meet the demand and plans have been Y Q completed for the erection of eight new ones. - il With the possible exception of baseball no sport at Holy Cross has such a great number of devotees as tennis. However, this interest is not local but, on the contrary, country-wide. As yet our tennis teams have not acquired the high standing of the baseball, track and football teams, but every year has witnessed a larger schedule and a proportional increase in the number of victories. Man- ager Quinn arranged for the l9I6 season ten matches, which comprise the largest schedule in the history of the sport at the college. This will furnish a true test of the calibre of the Purple players, but from the ability which was manifested in the fall tournament. in which 64 participated, Holy Cross should be well represented on the courts. The Only man in the Senior class to win the tennis letters is Pierre Pronovost. Although not a brilliant player, his consistent, heady work has won him a place on the team for the past three years, and from present indications his work this season should even surpass that of former years. With the great increase in the facilities for tennis the progress of Holy Cross is assured in this branch of sport and the time is not far distant when the Purple will be represented by some of the leading players in New England. - Quinn and Pronovost 202 rv 1--an if 5 1 01+ .' ji' fl 5, ,., ,Qu 4 , 3 ' mmif.Q -u. - JW' X Wy, I LETTER MEN Clilaum Athlrtirz The banners of l9l6 have had more opportunity to wave in Varsity than in Interclass sport. In the sports, now contested by the different classes, football, track and basketball, we have been, to express it mildly, only moderately successful. Football has always been a stumbling block to our class, only one victory being credited to us: that in Sophomore when we were victorious over the class of 1917. This victory let us into the finals for the championship but here we were again defeated. Owing to the fact that the schedule was not completed in Freshman, the only team we played was the Preps, We were routed in this contest. In Junior we laid title to an unusually strong and heavy team. which had as a leader the redoubtable Brickley. The Seniors made good their threats to get Howard and Mike went back to shaking Tommies. Our team though considered strong favorites for the championship quickly went down to defeat before the Seniors I3-0, whose ranks boasted the pres- ence of Roach, Costello, Walsh and other stars. Our Senior team was irreparably weakened by the in- jury of our best backfield man, Basil Murphy. Goosey Garvey also sustained a fracture of the ankle. Nevertheless we managed to play a 0-0 tie with the Juniors, who afterward annexed the title from the Sophs. In Track we enjoyed a larger measure of succcess. Our Freshman squad, boasting such stars as joe Higgins, Walter O'Brien and Brawley, brought us enough points to win. In the succeeding years our teams were always in the race, the numerical limitation of our squad contributing to our lack of fur- ther success. The class relay races again saw us successful in Freshman. Our Senior relay team, head- ed by joe Higgins, was also successful. No matter under what handicap, Joe Higgins always man- aged to sprint around the track and breeze home a winner. It seems unfortunate that the custom of staging interclass baseball contests has fallen into desuetude. One memorable game was played in Senior between the Second and the Third Corridors. There existed some doubt as to the actual result, both teams claiming the victory. There are many individual baseball stars in our class, among which one Joe Cahill, the man from Kingston, is the champion statistician of the class. Jimmy Murphy played on our Freshman team, while Milton Hughes boasted some ability as a pitcher. Paul Wagener, Chester Murphy and Lynch also used to indulge in a little game of ball once in a while on the upper Terrace. Continued on page 207 205 l9l6iis not blessed with any abundance of basketball stars. Here and there one of our men would spurt a little but usually we were handicapped by a lack of basket shooters. Our team always lingered near the bottom in the Basketball League and in Senior we were not victorious in a single game. In football we might mention Al Finn and Tom Finn, who both did consistent work. Coyne, Burns, Shaughnessy and Caldon also did yeoman service in the line and in the backlield. On the bas- ketball floor Landry, Mike Kelly, Brawley and Al Finn were our best players. In track in addition to our men, Landry, LaChapelle and Madden proved the best scorers in the dashes and distance runs. Particular mention must be made of Ed McCabe who for two years has acted as manager of our class teams. Ed always proved wide awake to the needs of his men and lost no opportunity whereby he could enhance the honor of his class. , 'r A 207 'x f . v 'Z , v Q ' r 1 N I l IE' KI Z ICD rmilvlllg 0112155 igizturg F RESHMAN In previous class histories it seems to be the fad to boast of the largest entering class and to express a wish that that particular class graduate more than one hundred. However the fulhllment of such a wish is realized for the first time in the Class of l9I6. For was it not in the Autumn of l9l2 that Holy Cross welcomed within her portals what has right- ly been termed the three B class-the biggest-the brightest-the best. Finally it came to pass that our class evolved from chaos into order. We organized and elected Bill Peck as our leader. From then on we were able to deal with any situation, no matter how delicate. The first big event of importance was Holy Cross Night. On that memorable occasion those freshies whose mouths were previously opened in wonder and awe made such a splendid showing that they were unanimously proclaimed the prize winners. To recall all the happenings in this brief account is impossible. However certain events have im- pressed themselves indelibly on our memory. For who could forget that time honored Freshman banquet with all its cheer and good fellowship. Who does not remember that memorable night of the Pajama Parade when the fire engines were playing their streams on 4th O'Kane. Our contributions to Varsity were more than generous: Joe Higgins was cream of the cinder track, Mike Brawley loomed up on the gridiron, Jack Saunders, Joe Murphy and Harry Car- roll were the big leaguers on the baseball nine. 1 With drawing for rooms in Alumni our rookie year drew to a happy close. To Bill Peck, our first president, we give the credit for having put more pep into the class than it has had in all its four years. Our Freshman Banquet and Holy Cross Night far surpassed any- thing we have taken up and accomplished since. All praise then to the gentleman from Holyoke. 209 W 'X WRTCN Fuu.

Though a few of our number were among the missing, still we started with renewed energy and determination. Joy was brought into our camp when David I.Walsh was made Governor of this Commonwealth. Altho' we were not allowed to march down-town and celebrate, still we carried on our capers on the hill and were given a full holiday in honor of the Governor. Our Football squad, still boasting the presence of Eddie Brawley and supplemented by the advent of O'Keefe, had a most successful season. For this a large measure is due our coach, l-larry Kersburg, formerly an All-American linesman. From now on everything went smoothly till after Christmas and the advent of those dreaded mid- years. Our true calibre was brought to light in that terrible ordeal. 5lW9'i'p following class basketball was begun with great enthusiasm and although we were not the . blatyed consistently. On r -tiiul day in March, togged out in green regalia and headed by a band, we showed our loyalty to E.I'lll'S , 1-atest saint. Speeches were in order and even the Frogs were obliged to orate and pay tribute to St. Patrick. Spring issued in the baseball season and together with this the best baseball team we have had in our four years' course. The redoubtable Red Murray, jack Saunders, Ostie all did their share to make up a team the like of which we have not seen since their day. Many is the hard-won victory to their credit, and when the season was done no wonder they were ranked among the best. 2Il 4 vfgiffl L Gooo' NOPSYL 1 x woor! ,wooF!

It was during this period that we became philosophers and to talk in syllogisms became a matter of course. I In the matter of athletics we were easily leaders. On the cinder path we were unbeatable while Brickley Howard was the wonder of the age in football. Potash Mica could punt 105 yards- in practice. He usually let Mike Kelly kick in the game. Buckley's great headwork in the Senior game when he rushed the ball from the seven-yard line with I2 yards to go and on the fourth down remains as one of the masterpieces of H. C. football strategy. However, we succumbed to the powerful l9l5 eleven after a glorious fight. The Tech-Holy Cross game was a time for great jubilation. Although the Engineers came to Fitton with a determination to win we romped away from them. In this game Brawley was a tower of strength while O'Keefe, who lately joined our ranks, was a Jonah to all opponents. In debating our team was unsuccessful as usual, losing to the Seniors. Joe Higgins' great running made him the sensation ofigthe Indoor Season. In dramatics our class was praiseworthily represented. ln the college production Higgins was the brightest star, while lVlcCadden's apostrophe O Phoebe! Pheobe! made him almost a national Figure. just about this time the analytic exam and the thought of the philosophy orals threw a scare into our camp. Nevertheless we entered both with a determination and came to the close withivictory perched on our banners. 2l3 HARRY wwe. faawnori' REWAILD6 THE..

Beaven Hall, which had more than amply satisfied the wants of our prede- cessors, was well nigh filled to capacity. Due to the social spirit prevailing the class of l9l6 was first to inaugurate the Senior Smoker. The unmasked marvel Leo the Lion was the big attraction at the initial smoker. Succeeding ones were characterized by such performances as the Psychological and Ethical Minstrels. Joe Higgins was chosen class marshal for Holy Cross Night and the cinder path star arranged a very enjoyable evening. This was the first occasion for the wearing of the dignified garbs, cap and gown, which made us fully realize our importance. ' Shortly before Easter an event of more than passing interest occurred. The 25th anniversary of Rev. Thomas F. lVlcLoughlin's entry into the priesthood was commemorated in a rather informal way by his Psychology class. After speeches of praise were voiced for Fr. lVlcl..oughlin's enviable record, he was presented with a picture of the Angelus and class adjourned for the day. Ethics and Psychology followed in close proximity and long looked for vacation was at hand. It was found expedient to call off the annual Senior play. Joe Higgins, who had filled the role of Touchstone so capably in Junior, was slated to act the leading part in our class play, and the fact that we would lose the chance of seeing a repetition of last's year's success is a matter of univer- sal regret. On returning preparation for final orals were in order, to say nothing of inter-corridor ball games. The race is accomplished. We must go forth and face the problems of life. May success and pros- perity attend each and every member of this peerless class. 215 Leo re, THIS Yoon. '4 EMVEN HM-L AFTER. HI6 LEAVES ' ffm oem tfs 'Q 591. on 55 1. SITTI 6 Q .

The happiest days of your life! he will characterize the years he :pent within the college walls. And thus he serves as a continual encouragement, as a constant adviser holding out to his younger brothers a solace in their difficulties and in their troubles, and spurring them on with a kindly word to the successful completion of their seemingly endless task. On such public occasions when it has been possible for the Alumnus to return to his college it has been his wont to conjure up the memory of the good old days, of the many happy hours spent in the com- panionship of his schoolfellows. On such occasions he has been the recipient of a special welcome on the part of the student who sces in him the fruition of many long hours of study, and of honest endeavor, an example which he himself may profitably emulate. Something to which the Alumnus cannot but look back with pride is the fact that he lacked the educational facilities of the present day student and yet attained a high degree of success in spite of that fact. The present day student, on the contrary, realizing the vastly increased facilities at his disposal, can- not but be stimulated to an increated appreciation and estimation of them. The deeds of the Alumni have always served as a source of particular pride to the student body. The ex-Governor of Massachusetts, the Mayors of Providence and of Lowell among the numbers of the Alumni being especially prominent have served as types wherein could be realized the ambitions of a life characterized by adherence to true Holy' Cross ideals and principles. Not only these, but many others like them whose work was done always with an eye to the honor and credit of their Alma Mater. Serving as so many outposts defending the honor and integrity of their college are theimany Alumni Associations. Unity and co-operation, distinguishing features of their members, are strikingly manifest whenever there is a common object to be attained by their college. So down the years the spirit of loyalty to the colors of their college is noted wherever there dwells a true Holy Cross man. With a devotion that is unending, with a fealty that is well nigh boundless, every thought, every noble action is referred to the College on the Hill. 237 Gbffirern nf the Alumni Azanriatinna THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF THE COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS Or anized l869 g .

Holy Cross is not the exception and celebrates at the opening of each year her own distinctive custom-Holy Cross Night. An outgrowth of the pantomime and minstrelsy of Junior Night the newer custom has a deep significance to those in any way connected with the college. It means, to the Faculty, a recital of the triumphs and succeszes of the students of by-gone days who have benefitted by the training afforded them at the Hill of Pleasant Springs. The stu- dent sees in Alma lVlater's late-returned and gifted sons an exempla which urges them to do likewise: the Senior already has a glimpse of the world from the hill's crest: the Freshman is introduced into! the broader sphere of college life. The Alumnus puts back to port from the sea of life to tell the experiences of an older pilot and to express words of sound advice to the inexperienced and unpracticed. Alma Mater glories in the successes of her childreng she gladly welcomes her older sons to her halls and re- views in particular pride the ever-increasing numbers of thoze lately entrusted to her care and protection. To those who were fortunate in observing Nineteen-Sixteen's Holy Cross Night the remembrance will be a noteworthy and enjoyable one. With the hall overflowing with guests, students and members of the Faculty: resplendent with the royal purple of college and clas:esg with Alma lVlater's largest Senior class clad in the academic cap and gown for the first time, student, Alumni and Faculty became 'united in the true and democratic bond of loyalty that is characteristic of all Holy Cross gatherings. We may attribute the greater part of the evening's success to the zeal of our chief marshal, lVlr. Joseph T. Higgins, ' I 6, who in turn has manifested his appreciation to his capable committee. His excellent judgment in the make-up of his program was evidenced in the successes which all the speakers of the evening attained. The class of Nineteen-Sixteen trusts that future years will not be found wanting in the hearty co- operation which she has enjoyed and she predicts as a result the same unstinted success. 240 Tgnlg Glrnna Night lirngtam OVERTURE- The Crusader . . .

The lack of places of amuse- ment, and what is more important still, the lack of opportunity to visit such places if they existed, impelled the young collegians to develop their own dramatic ability. The first fruits of their efforts were the Pakachoag Dramatic Club and the Smithsonian Minstrel Club, which confined their efforts to the college and held no public performances. Almost at once was recognized the absurdity of narrowing the exhibition of talent these societies manifested within such nar- row confines. Wherefore there arose almost immediately the forerunner of the Dramatic Society as we have it today whose yearly term culminates in a public performance in This annual production is invariably graced by the presence of a composed of both students and the general public.

J., was given in junior by Mr. Duston. 243 CHARACTERS IN THF. PLAY AS YOU LIKIT. IT 15115 in Braunatira Altho the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Sixteen cannot boast of having participated in any man- ner in dramatics as Seniors since unfortunately there were no dramatic performances given in our last year, yet we can afford to take a little credit to ourselves for the excellent work that various members of our class have done in the other three years. Most conspicuous of all those of us who have followed the boards has been Joseph T. Higgins who as a Thespian has shown himself no less worthy of praise than in the other activities to which he has lent his energy. In the same production, As You Like lt, were other members of the class. Vlfilliam Peck played with great charm and becomingness the difficult r6le of Celia. Thomas Finn took the part of Le Beau and portrayed it admirablyg Edward Brawley seemed perfectly at home as Charles, the wrest- ler, altho 'tis said he did resent being floored in such a summary manner by his slim adversary. Nor should we forget Joseph lVlcCadden as Silvius, whose famous cry of Phoebe! quite touched our hearts. In Freshman many of our classmates helped to supply a pleasing background in Richelieu while negligently leaning on spears, trees, etc. In Sophomore In the Fool's Baublen was successfully pro- duced, but none of our class had more than minor parts. The only 'I6 fellows who took these parts were John Cummings and John Keane, but we can safely say that- each did his bit as unconcernedly as if the success of the whole performance depended on their lines. 245 1 01110. Eehatiug Svnrietira It is imperative at the present day that men should know how to speak and how to express them- selves. Not only should a mental development be aimed at, or a power with the pen, but men should be ready to mount the rostrum when their turn comes and give forth of the knowledge which lies locked up in the treasure chest of their minds. Well does our college, so celebrated for its speakers, recognize this fact and we would venture an opinion that the students themselves are not unmindful of the necessity of an education in public speaking. The means wherewith facility in this art is attained is embodied in the two societies: B. J. F. and Philomathic. The more advanced classes, Senior and Junior, comprise the first, while Sophomores and Freshmen are eligible to membership in the Philomathic. In the furtherance of the art of public speaking political, social and economic questions of the pres- ent day are threshed out in the assembly rooms of each society and thus serves not only the primary ob- ject of the society but also tends to familiarize its members with the various views on these much mooted questions. The Rev. John J. Fallon prize serves as an incentive to teams representing the Senior and Junior classes which hold a public debate annually. The Joseph D. O'Connor prize is awarded to the winner of a public debating contest between the Sophomore and Freshman teams. Father Heaney, whose death occurred during the year, was inseparably connected with Debating at our college. His long association with the Philomathic and particularly with those of its members in our class made his death a particular loss to us. A To Father Pyne also is due the inspiration for many a sound argument. He was instrumental in the success of many of our debaters. i 247 1915 in Behatra It was not the good fortune of l9l6 to partake of frequent and repeated successes in the debating field. As a matter of fact, our record in this line of endeavor has been very mediocre and it was not until we were almost through Senior that we were victories in our first interclass debate. For the first three years our teams seemed utterly unable to win. Then a change of personnel was made in our team and with it came immediate and glorious victories. Nevertheless we boasted several strong debaters in our class and several we would style exceptionally strong. Our Freshman team was composed of Peck, Heaphy and Griffin. The bright part of our contest with the well-seasoned Sophomore team was the exceptional work of Peck. Although the decision went against us, still the work of our speakers was not beyond praise. Our contest with l9l7 when we were Sophomores brought out a large number of capable candi- dates for the team. Peck, Heaphy and Mahon were chosen to represent the class. Again the brilliant work of Peck was in evidence and added to that the strong work of Mahon. For the second time the decision of the judges went against us. Junior found us with no interclass debate owing to the fact that the B. J. F. had no Senior mem- bers. As a consequence two teams of Juniors were chosen. Our Senior team saw two new faces on the team, that of Joe Riley, who acted as Captain, and Finn. Peck, the third man, rounded out a strong team. The new blood evidently went far to strengthen our team, for in the debate which followed with the team which defeated us in Sophomore we won a signal victory. . Thus our class brought to a glorious conclusion a .career in debating which at first had opened up a vista of defeat and disappointment. 248 DEBATERS THE PURPLE STAFF 1915 aah Effie liurple Turn to the editorial page of any l9l5-I6 Purple, and there you will see the official expression of the Class of l9l6's relations with the Purple, to wit: Editor-in-Chief-Joseph Thomas Higgins Under-the-Rose-Thomas John McLean Chronicle-James Benedict Dannemiller Athletics-Thomas Francis Shea Advertising-Raymond James Kennedy Circulation-Thomas 'Francis Finn. t This is what those about us see-nay! that were doing them an injustice, for they cannot help but see what those titles represent, the achievements' they record, the excellencethey embody. - The versatility alone of Joe Higgins is explanation enough of his editorship. Actor, athlete, stu- dent, author, orator, the winner of the l9l4-I5 poetry prize, clinched his right to the editorial chair when he gave us Me Little Irish Mother in june. l9I5. His very position as the editor of those piquant little whisperings of the rose-sprite is highest praise, for nothing is more difhcult to write than this poetry in prose without making it prosy poetry, and capably indeed has Jim Dannemiller filled this distracting post. Moreover, he is a writer of very entertaining fiction. Turn to the Athletic Department of the l9I5-I6 Purple, and you may easily see that its writer is one who is master of facts as well as of his pen, and who has his fingeron the pulse of gridiron, track, and diamond. The activities of the two business managers are very much akin for both go to swell the coffers. Tom's engaging ways, Ray's enterprising determined canvassing-they made a combination whose efficiency was demonstrated throughout the entire year. Something clever should really be said here-something combining the charm of the exJEditor's pen with the grace of the Sub-Rosen the breeziness of Chronicle, the pithiness of Athletics, the zest of Business -something that should be worthy ofthem all, but they have written their own eulogy, written it so conclusively that it is only necessary to write Purple-l9l6, and the last' word has been said. 25I in Uhr Aquinas Glluh With the precedent of two successful seasons already before it, it was but reasonable to expect that the Aquinas Club of the Class of l9l6 should continue and augment the example set by the classes that had gone before. Immediately upon the announcement that the society was to continue in existence enthu- siasm ran high and competition was aroused for the various offices. In the very spirited election which followed Mr. Joseph M. Hughes was elected president. Connected as the society is with the Ethics department its avowed purpose was the treatment of ethical and sociological questions rife at the present day. As a supplement to the work of that class, these practical questions allowed of a more detailed and fuller development. For the first few meetings the attendance was abnormally large. Gradually only those responded to the meetings who really had something to say and who maintained a genuine interest. This contin- gent continued comfortably large, however, and at the various lectures delivered by the appointed speak- ers no assertion was allowed to pass unchallenged and without a shrewd and spirited debate. The Senior Smokers held during the year owe their inception to the first president, Mr. Hughes. The plans suggested by the Moderator were perfected and successfully executed by Mr. Hughes and to him is due the large measure of praise for the success they enjoyed. To the Moderator of the Society, since its organization several' years ago, is given unstinted praise for the success which the Society has attained. Father McNiff has proven a most able guide in our quest for knowledge of things Ethical and Sociological. 252 Elie Svrisntiiir Smristg It would perhaps be impossible to consider such a thing as an interest in things scientific without mentioning. many times the name of Mr. William R. Cullen, S. J. As long as we have been at the college Mr. Cullen has been with us and during our entire course of membership in the Scientific Society he has acted in the capacity of Moderator. Under his direction the Scientific Society took on the aspect of a lecture system, the lectures being delivered by the students themselves. Appropriate lantern slides served to illustrate these lectures. The lecturers acquitted themselves so well in their speeches that a pub- lic exhibition was finally conceived of and successfully executed. Though the membership of the so- ciety was large it was always made up of that select coterie which maintained a genuine interest in things scientific. The lectures held during the year were as follows: SCHEDULE OF LECTURES l9l5 November 5--The Mechanics of Modern Warfare Mr. William R. Cullen. S. December 7-Auto Building Basil B.

During our Freshman year the college orchestra was reorganized under the capable direction of Mr. Louis J. l-laubert, S. whose brilliant work was ,continued throughout Sophomore and Junior by Rev. Michael Earls, S. J. Mr. Coniff, S. J., has manifested unusual interest during our Senior year. Rev. Edward J. Sweeney, S. J., Mr. John F. Duston, S. J., and Rev. John W. Coveney, S. J.. have been instrumental in bringing the choir and glee clubs up to an unusually high degree of perfection. Nineteen-Sixteen has been well represented in musical circles during our stay at Holy Cross. Mr. Robert V. O'Keefe, 'l6, and Mr. Thomas McLean, 'l6, have successfuly filled positions as pianists in the orchestra. Mr. John F. Keane, 'I6 has enjoyed a long membership with the orchestra. Mr. Jo- seph J. McCadden, 'l6, has likewise filled a long term and other members of the orchestra from our class have been Messrs. Edwin F. McCabe, 'l6, Arthur B. Cogan, 'l6, and Raymond Kennedy, 'l6. The choir has likewise been benefitted by our class so that of our four years stay three years ser- vices at the organ have been, rendered by Nineteen-Sixteen: Mr. Thomas F. FitzSimmons during Senior year. Mr. James McMahon, 'l6, was elected President of the Glee Club during Senior year. The Senior orchestra deserves special mention. The facts point out that l9l6 has ever been a live wire ' in musical affairs. 255 Senior Gllama linvm 152112 mater En sol recedit igneus, Surgente vespero.

J., who was in charge of the Sodality when we first camehto Holy Cross, belongs the credit of instilling into our youthful minds the importance and the beauty of a love for Mary. Rev. Peter A. Oates, who succeeded him, finally obtained for the Sodalists the long- looked for diplomas. Through the initiative of several men in the school the funds necessary to purchase a plate for these diplomas were obtained. Thus they have secured an incentive towards which all future members of the Sodality will strive and a concrete pledge of their own love and devotion for the Mother of God. During the year was celebrated the Fiftieth Anniversary of the reception of Bishop Beaven into the Sodality. The event commemorated with fitting exercises receives an added significance insofar as it marks out the zeal and fervor with which one devoted band has all these years continued to manifest its love and devotion to the Mother of God.. 259 'Uhr liairhvr 1Hifl'iP Edited by Gosh-Gaff-Gabb COLY HOSS OFF FOR WAR TODAY EARL MACAPEE SUCCEEDS BARON MURPHY AT WAR OFFICE The famous Coly Hoss light guard, cheered by a million raspberries, and led by that commander extraordinary, Sir Cecil-joseph Spring-Rice Murphy, O.

GILBERTSVILLE BESIEGED Extra. fSpecialJ. The famous fortress, Woofer de Woof, was attacked by the right wing of our army early this morning. Grand Duke Ruddi de Minocka led the attack. The fortress was built in the early ages by Marquis A-Woofer, and holds the key situation in the west. The fortifications are guard- ed by the Iron-Duke, Walter King of Woofa, whose runaway marriage with Pauline O'Hare several years ago led to a revolution on the part of his Irish retainers. Arthur Bogan, Jewish Archbishop of Auburn, called on the prime minister late today and offered the services of IOO rabbies. Parken Whaler, the Irish leader in the house, made a motion today for an additional appropriation of a million barrels of hash. He was opposed in the House of Lords by Lord jiffin, Duke of Pansy. who said that we must have explicit confidence in combustible apple sauce to make the enemy run. I-le was supported by the great Koveney, the copper-tongue orator of the Mess. 260 . Sir Reginald A. P. A. Ca-hill, P. O. T., was an only child. An an early age he showed a fond- ness for apple sauce. and perceived its charming influence on the human system. He attended the Luth- eran School of St. Patrick and became a disciple of Carl Marx. In the A. P. A. revolution of '86, he distinguished himself as a leader and successfully led the Irish. Painted Post, N. Y. fSpecialD.

It was the ninth inning! , The score stood 3-0 in favor of Yale, Holy Cross having collected a string of goose eggs throughout the exhibition. But oh! The stars were up and a ray of hope shot through the crowd as a short, unbalanced look- ing youth stepped to the plate. The crowd whooped: and with a bland smile and a Fagin-like countenance the-venerable Muggers McCadden waited for the first ball. The pitcher looked at Muggers, smiled and whizzed the spheroid towards him. Bang! The ball sailed to short right and Muggers trotted to first. Even O'Keefe clapped and l'Brute Comba for the first time in his life forgot to crab. Bill Peck, the IO3-pound wonder, looked bad to the pitcher and he was passed. A sigh of relief went through the crowd and Joe Daly shouted Great work, Old Pal! Following Bill came Bubbles Cogan, the big first baseman, with a stick as stout as himself and a determined look on his inflated countenance, fixed himself for a sure home-run. The first ball sped toward the plate. Arthur ducked and straightway the ball came into violent con- tact with his cranium. The sphere was rent into a thousand shreds and from out the mass of flying debris bounced the little rubber ball. Bubbles smiled and after the Ump had made certain that the ball had hit Divine Arthur he transferred him to the initial sack. ' The bases were choked and the situation brightened. Suddenly a wild yell pierced the atmosphere. The stands rocked: the buildings on the hill trembled, and Beaven-Hill in all its glory began to waverg the Blackstone beat violently against its banksg trolley power gave out: telephone lines were tied up for miles around. ln the midst of this clamor and dn, amid all such phenomena and wonders Hmirable dictu undaunted, unflinchingly, fearlessly and with untold au- daciousness the Vicious Mike Howard stepped to the platter. He signalled to the crowd and all was as silent as death. , The first two Mike ignored, and well it was, for Mike was credited with two balls. The pitcher hurled a third, Mike hesitated, wiped his chin and let her go. Ball three! shouted the Ump and the Vicious One, turning toward the crowd, chuckled loudly. In a second the pitcher had whizzed another, and as Mike turned away from the crowd the shout came strike! Mike snarled. Again the ball whizzed by and this time Mike punctured the ozone, shaking the air with such force as to make the shock felt through the green-clad hills of Milford, miles away. Mike began to talk to himself. Mike clenched his teeth, dug his spikes into the ground, rapped the plate not gently and pinned 263 himself for his last chance. The pitcher inspected each base, looked at the Terrible One and with every ounce of strength that an ai la McCarthy steak could give he flung the horsehide to our hero. Then it seemed as though Vesuvius had roared from her very depths. The bat had met the ball squarely and on the ball sailed through the air until gravity bade it come to earth. Hitting the north stands on the football field it bounded over the brimming Blackstone and rolled into a far corner of the Wachusett Thread Mill. I The Vicious One was now rounding third and sped toward the plate. As he neared his goal some- one shouted slide! and when Mike awoke he found his left foot snugly tucked in the Garboon while Frank Lallin was standing over him. There's no telling what Mike said.

Mr. Saunders, S. J., has done us many kindnesses in the lending of Purple cuts. To Mr. James J. O'Reilly, himself a Holy Cross man, is due particular praise for the exceptional sketches which adorn many of our pages. The wise suggestions of Mr. W. Curley of the Harrigan Press have aided us materially and the enthusiasm and interest he has shown is especially worthy of our grati- tude. The prompt and efficient work of the firm he represents was of the greatest assist- ance in the publication of our book. The artistic hand of Mr. Gleason of the Howard-Wesson Co. may be discovered in the choice and arrangement of our cuts. The high quality of the engravings turned out by the Howard-Wesson firm is a fact we can readily attest. Lastly, we owe a debt of gratitude to our advertisers and to the purchasers of the book whose cooperation has enabled our project to attain financial independence and success. 268 Apprnhix Acknowledgement . .... ..... 2 68 Advertisements. .... ..... 2 7 l Alumni. ......... ---- 2 36-7 Aquinas Club. . . . . - - 252 Astronomy. .... - - - 26 Banquets. . . --1-' 257 Baseball. .... - - - l90'5 Biology. ..... .
