However, our good 'teachers need no figurative adornments, for we find them even in the affairs of every day, picturesque and appealing. All that they have, and self included, has been placed in the crucible of sacrifice: whence rises the better good of man and God's greater glory. And we came among them and lived in this atmosphere of interest and paternal care, and let us hope the world will be the better for it. Fitting thanks for their kindliness and regard would exhaust any human mode ot appre- ciation. Words expressive of them would double the lettered wealth of the ages. The Faculty has a goodly claim upon the gratitude and admiration of the 4' Class of Nineteen Twenty. REVEREND JAMES J. CARLIN, S. J PRESIDENT N REVEREND JAMES A. MULLEN, S. J.

Starting she matriculated more men than any class up to that date, and in June she will receive the greatest number of sheepskins-and this in spite of her checkered career. J The Freshman year abruptly took its exit in the early spring-time owing to a call for war-workers. So the pleasures of the H Hill of Sunset Splendor '7 vested in vernal plumage, were not our privileges as Freshies. A turbulent and trying year of hesitancy and doubt followed, most of our members being on the brink between mufti and khaki, and so our college activities suffered. Junior year found most of us in arms and only half of our philosophic day was spent by the M Men of Twenty 77 on the hill H where flow pleasant crystal springsf, But we weathered the winds of an adverse fate and our crowning year found us as light- hearted as Freshmen but energetic withal as the pro- verbial busy bee. Threads of gold were the ties that bound us together, and these will never part while memory lingers.

College Orchestra 13, 43 Band C45 Senior Minstrels This genial citizen of Connecticut's capi- tol city turned his footsteps Worcesterwards and became a member of our class at the beginning of Junior year. It was an event benefiting, both H Pats 7, and the class, and it did not take him long to adapt himself to Holy Cross. Soon after he was aiding the college orchestra by means of the melo- dious notes of his renowned clarinet. His activities soon spread to other lields, in fact, like the Helvetians of old, he felt hemmed in by his narrow confines, and sought the society of other towns. At a prominent social function in Junior year he was even known to have imported an inhabitant from one of the neighboring tribes for the occasion. i In Senior year he was a great aid to the college band in arousing enthusiasm for our biggest football game. Adorned in a grotesque costume, M Pats paraded with the band and played the clarinet and French horn by turns. He was also a steady and generous contributor to the college building fund. Given to eloquence on the slightest excuse, John has been a prominent figure in all arguments. However, N Pats usually held to the even tenor of his Way except when an opposing orator became excited. Genial and reliable, he is indeed a rep- resentative member of C' Twenty. Whate'er the world may induce him to take up for his life work, We Wish all success possible, after his two years' stay in the M City of Prosperityf, Page 32 OLIER L. BARIL SPENCER, MASS.

His travels on the jaunting-cars of the H Rocky Road to Au- burn have not as yet antiquated those flat wheels, but M Oli 7, is optimistic of the fu- ture. A In such beneficent hope for posterity he is joined by each and every member of the H Class of Twenty. Olier's'early days on Packachoag evi- denced a serious purpose in his methods of study, and we were not at all surprised to see the M Doctor 'a pursuing a course in biology and chemistry. However, we must mention the fact that, while to all appearances he seemed a faithful student, his frequent rompings with Ethel Acetate in the chemical laboratory were a constant source of disquietude on the part of his immediate neighbors. ln passing, we feel obliged to mention Olier's loyalty as a Senfresojunite in his Senior year, when, after the midnight banquet, he was forced to relish the heavy fog of the early morning for two hours before securing a train for home. In spite of heavy odds, MOH has constantly applied himself with earnest endeavor to every subject he has studied, and we know that the past is prophetic of a successful future, if results are to he considered. To one so practical and immediate in his methods, there is bound to Colne the fruits of labor, and we all extend to him our sincerest wishes for a bon voyage through life. Page 33 R.

That was Jack's first appearance at Holy Cross, and it augured well for a successful career, at least in athletics. However, he was sat- isfied to rest on the laurels won in that event by finishing second to the U Peerless Andyf, Shortly after, his pet theory of the U Conservation of Energy put in its appearance, and has remained a steadfast ally throughout the succeeding years. At the close of his Sophomore year Our John ,' heeded the call to the colors, and the following fall found him wearing the little gold bars, a testimonial to his qualities as a leader among men. Fortunate, indeed, was it for the Huns that the front to which Jack was assigned was Grove City rather than that of the Marne! We heard but little of his actual accomplishments while there, but the avalanche of multi-colored, scented letters that engulfed him on his return to Holy Cross was a glowing tribute to the fact his successes were not confined to the drill field. The qualities that impressed Uncle Sam-his military bearing, versatility, tem- perament, and leadership-will, we know, make Jack a marked man when he enters the world in his chosen line of endeavor, and the success that has attended his work while on the Hill is but a forerunner of the honors that will he bestowed on him in the future.

No manner of restraint could bridle Leels eagerness to spread the tidings of great joy that his M wonderful times stirred up in his heart. M Gee, l had a wonderful time! is his favorite description of his Sophomore-Junior trips to the Hub or his all-four-years visits to various academies of the fantastic terpsichore. Beneath this glittering disposition there is a solidity of friendship that lies in the background of the atmosphere in which he lived. Lee is rich in personality, and he deals it out freely. His approaches with faculty members were always deco- rated with smiles, and somehow the charm worked. Lee was cheer leader. He was a good one, too. When he pranced out before the crowd in his blanche costume, immediately there was noise. It might appear that the combustion was spontaneous, but the volume, and pep, were all due to Lee's hard work at mass meetings. A cheer leader is among the most deserving, and yet he seldom gets a cheer. But, Lee, there's always a Hoiah made of cullwentyls 7, best esteem for you. Good cheer will always be with you, and that is inestimably treasurable. 6' A A Hoiah ' for Lee Bell, 6 Twenty,' and make it the best ever! Hip! Hip l Page 35 FREDERICK L. BERIGAN WORCESTER, MASS.

Some of our more astute men may have entered class' unprepared, some of 'our Beau Brummels may have appeared un- shaven, but never has Fred come to school without his smile! Never has he forgot- ten that H The man worth while is the man who smiles. Not only is he ever smiling, butwhe is a living example of perpetual motion. This latter trait has been developed by a number of circumstances. Being the school reporter of the city's greatest newspaper made it necessary for him to move fast to keep one stride ahead of the other M scoops. And the added burden of being a day scholar made him not only active, but extremely agile. Fred's specialty is news! True, the source of some of his copy was at times very vague and doubtful, yet his quick wit has interested many an eager listener and reader. How many hardened heretics has he converted, and how often has the college opened and closed at his wink! If we were able to read the thoughts of Freddy, we might well be surprised! For we would see that beneath that smiling countenance is a deep, thoughtful mind, and that, far from taking life as a mere joke, Fred has a well-developed sense of duty. Always thoughtful and kind, he has made an everlasting impression on all of us which time can never elface. The coming years hold great promise for him, and 'C Twenty 7' may well be proud to boast of him as one of her sons. Page 36 WILLIAM R. BOOTH BROOKLYN, N. V. 77 MB00th led boldly with nis big bass drum?-VACHELL LINDSAY. Class Football 14? Philomathic C45 Senior Minstrels After spending two years at Brooklyn College, Bill wisely decided to join the Purple cohorts, and since then has proved himself a worthy addition to H Twenty,s 77 ranks. When we first became acquainted with him we wondered if a descendant of John Wilkes Booth had joined us, but he emphatically denied any relationship to the notorious actor-assassin, and indeed Bill's open and manly character proved the absurdity of such a thought. Although he is not, and never was, a publicity agent for himself, those who know him intimately will testify to his worth and character. M Still waters run deepf' and even if Bill has been a little backward in coming forward to mix in the uproar of class politics, he has never hesitated to lend his heartiest support to any movement that was worth while. The handicap of a late arrival did not prevent him from giving his best, and when the call for class football came in Senior year, we saw Bill up on the hill doing just a little more than his bit quietly and consistently. Bill lived in Junior year among that motley crew of late-comers up on the Annex, and the key to his character is found in the statement that he ranked among the best in his section despite his place of habitation. Law has claimed Bill for its own, and we will not be surprised to find him in future years the just and ideal judge, protecting the innocent and deciding the fate of the guilty. Page 37 JOHN J.

Decked out in his best smile, John takes the center of the stage. Slightly inclined to display an embonpoint, he captures you with the most genial expression imaginable. ln his four years John has carried more -' duties on his shoulders than one could think of, and with the most wonderful un- concern. L' How about a vacation dance in Waterbury? 'i See John. 'G 1,11 have it arranged in a few daysfg H What is going on in Worcester? H See John. N But how about a permission? H Oh, that's the least of the whole thing? And then you throw up your hands. How does he get them? I donit know, and I think Father Wheeler doesn't know himself how he happened to give it to him. He has the most secret and efficient system of getting permissions that has ever been known. Perhaps a hint might be taken from one of his statements: N Stay there and talk until he gives you one to get rid of you. In the riotous days of the S. A. T. C., John was elected President of the Juniors, and, without flinching, carried H Twenty 'f through the storm. John will certainly make as good a mark on the Rialto as he did at Holy Cross, and happy are they who become his friends. Page 38 GEORGE F. BREEN WORCESTER, MASS.

Varsity Track l3l Masque and Bauble Club ll, 2, 47 Senfresojun Club ll, 3, 49 Interclass Track ll, 2, 3, 43 M Red N was one of that irrepressible galaxy of 'C Day Dodgers whose voices were always raised in debate regardless of the issue or the argumentative worth of the side they upheld. He was constantly in the van and ever willing to use his oratorical powers for the 4' K. of C.'s l' or to come to the rescue of his 4' mates U by killing time during a jurisprudence lecture with a barrage of questions. During Junior year he developed into a valuable addition to the Varsity track team, where also his 'G long-winded 7' capacities again proved an indispensable asset. George is a member of that limited number of erstwhile ensigns in the Class who saw service on the other side. Although looking very trim and sea-going in his gold braid on those days when the home guard and ex-service men show their wares for the edilication of the populace of WOl'C6StCl', he receives their plaudits with becoming modesty, and with a dignified reserve that would never lead you to suspect that during the rest of the week he is one of the 'L hoi polloi W at Holy Cross, and glad to be considered as such. Throughout the year, George was always one of the leaders in the Jurisprudence Class, and if he does not continue in the law, another Choate, another Webster, will be lost to the world. But if he does, even the most hardened outfit of courtroom spectators will not be bored by any lack of vim and action when George is pleading a case. Page 39 PHILIP H.

Debating Team lll Treasurer Fitton Debating Society ill Vice President Debating Team l2l Masque and Bauble Club l2l Philomathic C47 As the great Demosthenes, in the days of old Greece, denounced the arch-enemy of his country with frequency and eloquence, so, too, was Phil every ready to measure swords or burn powder verbally with any calumniator of the 'L Class of Twenty in general, and for the day scholars in partic- ular. His loyalty to these and to another is as characteristic of Phil as action is of the day-scholars room at noon. And speaking of action, Phil is active. The word at active, when predicated of Phil, may be taken in its broadest sense. He is active in class, he is even said to have asked a question on one occasion. Moreover, he remained awake a whole hour one Friday afternoon during Geology, which is men- tal activity of the rarest kind. He is also active outside of the class. Many a fellow day-scholar, when looking for his rubbers on a rainy day, has realized that Phil has been active in a rubber fight. Phil's knowledge of topics of the day is profound, and his understanding of Socialism would do credit to a Goldstein. His discussions on this subject cause quiet in the day-scholars' sanctum even when our more turbulent members have decided to attend class. If Phil goes into politics, we feel safe in predicting that he will occupy high official positions, and with credit. But, no matter what course he chooses to follow, it is certain that Phil will be where there is the most room-at the top. Page 40 CHARLES A.

Track Squad ll, 2, 39 Varsity Baseball Squad ill Class Football ll, 2, 3, 43 Condolence Committee C31 Secretary Senior Reception Committee 141 ln the fall of 1916, there appeared on the Hill of Mount St. James, a tall, light- haired lad whom we soon knew as 'LChick, and immediately afterward we learned that his honie town was Natick, the home of Mahan, Murray, and Casey. Nor were we long allowed to remain in ignorance in re- gard to the many other claims of Natick to greatness and to the foundation of its fame as the Home of Athletes, Chick saw to that! But it was in Junior year that 66 Chick acquired fame. Philosophy seemed to have a peculiar attraction for him, in fact, such an influence did it exert over him that he was a year ahead of most of us in his attempt to prove that Darwinls theory of manls animal descent had a semblance of truth, in that the ape's arboreal habits were pronounced even in a perfectly good Christian youth.

Jack, however, had been a Freshman, and his sympathy and advice to the youngsters was no small factor in rounding corners and smoothing edges. Our association with him, however, was short-lived, for he became a soldier at the outbreak of the war. After twenty-five months of subservience to the bugle, Jack returned to Holy Cross to receive his degree with 'C Twentyf' Although for nineteen of the twenty-five months spent by Jack in the service of Uncle Sam he was within rifle range of the German trenches, and although he is one of the very few members of our class who has been in a position to appreci- ate the marksmanship of the German artillerymen, those of us who do not read the papers would never know there was a war if it was necessary to rely upon 4' Jack '7 for information.

In company with H Pats Arcari, he rap- idly hecame a new constellation in our galaxy of stars. Bill is of a rather philosophical turn of mind, and many a time has propounded a question of the deepest import, so deep in fact that the assembled populace in Sennettis room would sorrowfully nod their heads and say, 4' It may be sof' His room at the head of the corridor in Junior was another meeting place of the crowd. Talk was the order of the day-and night. The close proximity of Father Keyes, room offered no terrors to Bill and his room-mate, and many a surreptitious cc drag N was dragged. Bill has several viewpoints that are secretly held by many of his listeners. One is his belief that the quality of the suburbs predominates over that of the city, and, with consistent logic, he carried his belief into practice. However, in Senior he slightly retracted, but if some inquisitive person should happen to ask him, he would stoutly maintain that he has never descended from his original platform, and that this present aberration is not to be considered. When June, 1920, is a memory, Bill, you can look back with happiness on the friendships you have made, and feel that a reunion will always renew them. Page 45 RAYMOND B. CAREY GARDNER, MASS.

Somewhere in an industrial magazine we found these words, G The world sits in Gardner, Mass., chairs. From observation, we are inclined to believe that Gard- ner's claim to fame is not the production of chairs, but of saddles, as 4' Douzy has exhibited marked riding abilities during his sojourn in our midst, and it would tax theiimagination to the utmost to attribute this ability solely to his training at Holy Cross. While Junior and Senior were busy years for the Gardner youth, with his duties as Assistant Manager and Manager of Baseball, Sophomore, too, might well be mentioned as worthy of note. That year H,Douzy was class-beadle. Have you ever had as many intimate friends since, Ray? As his college days draw to a close, and the time approaches for H Douzy ' to wend his way down Linden Lane for the last time as a student, let him not forget that his years on the Hill have been, for him, rich in the treasures of acquaintances formed and friendships cemented.

Always a booster for the Class, his earnest work has helped us through many difficulties which we now look back upon with a feeling of pride at their successful conquest. With the changing of Graduate Managers of athletics, it was lVlat who returned as Manager of football in the Fall of 1919 to practically put the existing chaos into some semblance of order. This he did with patience and dispatch. His manage- ment of J ack lVlitchell's team was a complete success. Mat wears well. He boasts of many friends throughout the college, and these know him to be ever obliging and always the gentleman. Among other things, he claims March 17th as his birthday, and to this coincidence can be attributed his middle name. We prophesy big things for Mat, even if Dover is a small place. We shall not soon forget his gracious smile and his constant atmosphere of good fellowship. Page 48 WILLIAM P. CHURCH FULTON, N.

With amazing facility, he can take hold of any side of a question and make it a burning issue. ' Bill came to us late in Freshman year, was immediatelya shining light in class, and since then has been making himself proficient in the art of refuting, persuad- ing, and convincing. During Senior year, Bill was very much annoyed by interference from without. It disturbed his classic calm and diverted his thoughts into channels other than those of philosophy and rhetoric. He has been assailed by telephone calls repeat- edly, but, chivalrous as he is, he always answers them. Once upon a time, how- ever, Bill was not at home, and two worthy Seniors of second Beaven undertook to speak for him. With unfeeling cruelty, they succeeded in getting the wires badly crossed, but Bill, after a while, straightened it all out. Bill's genial smile, and readiness to do anyone a favor at no small cost to him- self, has won for him a very high place in our regard. His life-long 'G Damon and Pythias friendship with lVlcQuillan is a very sure evidence of his ability to keep friends. When you are working hard in the battle of life, Bill, remember that the class is back of you almost as much as Bay is. Page 49 J. ROBERT CLAIR DORCHESTER, MASS.

The same year he proved a tower of strength on the Freshman nine, his hitting, fielding and speed on the bases resulting in his being drafted for the Varsity, where he performed very creditably at the hot corner. -Y e His honors and conquests have been many, and he was ever an indispensable and tireless worker in the various school and class activities. In concluding, let us remark that as a 'G gob, Ted'was so capable that he was promoted to the rank of ensign, and, after a lengthy period of sea duty, was deemed worthy of further study at the Naval Academy.

Such a character certainly contains in itself a virtual guarantee of friends and friendship throughout life. During our Senior year, George was again called upon to steer our ship over a new ocean-Holy Cross Night-and again George came through with flying colors.

Otherwise, he smiled amid a pale rouge tincture of his cheeks, and this happened when some fair damsel approached him on the field after a game, or coaxed him, in leap-year fashion, to try a waltz with her. lt's all in good nature, Bill, because you may rest assured, we all realize that you can 'Q come through any time, anywhere, and all you've done and said, we, and many classes to come, will not H forget quite wellf' Page 61 FRANCIS E.

He was a close adherent to the policy 6' Watch out for the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves? This principle he ap- plied to football, and when ripping through an opponentls line would bitterly fight for every inch with the firm belief that the yards would take care of them- selves. During his first few years, Ed confined his ability to class struggles, and never will we forget the march down the field in that memorable clash with the Juniors in our Soph year. Last season ff Micky fought bitterly for a berth on the Varsity, and, had it not been for an accident early in the season, would now be sporting the coveted H H.

Always a good, steady student, at no time did his name adorn the list of those philanthropic students who fill the coffers of old Holy Cross. Fortunate, indeed, are those who will be thrown in the path of happy Bill Doyle. And when, on some dreary winter's night, your thoughts drift back to that little old homestead on the Hill, and you feel that dreaded homesickness creeping upon you, seek, if you can, the company of Bill Doyle, king of gloom dispellers.

Days and nights have we sat in chapel listening to H Vin- nie's stentorian voice as he read, or rather declaimed, the prayers. Although V the book was stolen many times, its loss didn't affect him in the least. With greater solemnity head read new ones. H Vinnie started out in Freshman with football, and won for himself a place on the second team. Other duties called him after that, and they have been many. His -room has been the market, the rendezvous, the forum, the arena, throughout all Senior. There books are deposited, hurried smokes are taken, debates are started but never finished, contests are staged, with 'L Vinnie 7' as master of cere- monies, and Joe, as one-who-views-from-afar, reposing on the window sill. That room at the head of the stairs was a Mecca between classes for weary students. In Senior year H Vinnie '7 has been the ring leader of a fraternity called the League. Due to his untiring efforts, many homeless Wanderers have been given shelter. One thing he always insisted on was his night's rest, and had a firm belief that for every waking hour there must be another of sweet, dreamless sleep. 'C Vinnie has a tendency for the big, solid things of life, and as for giving advice and engineering a plan, many will testify to his absolute competence. Above all, he is a friend worth having.

Rather, we would add to them, for Q uDiarmuid is not only an earnest and sin- p cere young man, but is also industrious, clever and generous-hearted. At the begin- ning of every year, M Flinnie's room seemed to he tacitly agreed on as a rendez- vous and common clubroom of the rest of the corridor. Without doubt, our young hero's good nature and H gift of the gab was the ultimate cause of this, but the proximate cause was often the quasi grocery store that 4' Flinnie kept. Everything from crackers and cocoa to cascara and quinine could he found somewhere in the recesses of Dermod's desk, and usually for the first week after a vacation there was more food consumed in Room 12 First Beaven than in both dining rooms. 'G Flinnie came to Holy Cross with the advantage, or perhaps impediment, of having a distinguished alumnus as brother. ln most respects we think Dermod has equalled his hrother's record, and in one field, at least, has surpassed him, for no mail ever arrived that did not include at least one letter for Dermod Christopher Edward Flinn. Dermod Christopher, etc., aims to attach an lVl. D. to his B.

Fre- quent renditions of '4 O'Hara, much to 4' Doc's distaste might also be in evidence. However, these were but sequels to L4 Johnny's initial appearance in his Senior year as a soloist before the Senfresojunites on the night of their annual banquet. His previous wilful abstention from the calculum of prominence has led us to conclude that we have not fully reaped the harvest of this lad's powers. When we say that he has avoided being conspicuous, we feel justified in our conclusions, in view of the fact that Johnny', came to us heralded as a debater. However, we must confess that when John came into our ranks, he forsook things forensic for the life of an observing student. And as such we concede that his actions have been chiefly concentrated in an intercourse with books. We must not fail to remark on '4Johnny's,' personality, so individualized by that hearty laugh, all his own. Cheerfulness abounded in such measure that we have little fear of his future position with others. Unhesitatingly, we believe that his powers of perseverance have so manifested his ability to us that they are indica- tive of much to be his. We are expectant of much in such an abundance of per- sonal attributes. Page 75 S l l PAUL T. Form WORCESTER, MASS. Honest labour bears a smiling facef, THOMAS DEKKER.

Paul is held up to the outside world as the ideal example of day student at Holy Cross. His leadership amongst that exclusive order is as undisputed as it possibly can be in such a pure democracy. N The Survival of the Fittestn and other theories advanced by modern psychologists are taken directly from his books, M The Rise of the Day Student and 4' How the Other Half Lives. No plot or conspiracy leveled at the vital life of the day scholar was left unchallenged by him. He often carried his light even to the Court of the Star Chamber. His loyalty to any cause which he undertook, or any friendship formed, is a quality which has earned him many friends. His company for ten minutes is an excellent prescription for the blues. Bright, happy, and, in a word, a gloom chaser, he sails through life leaving in his calm, unruflled Wake a host of friends. Page 76 MARTIN J. FORHAN WORCESTER, MASS.

Always so willing to aid others, and a believer of justice and good- fellowship, he has welded within his person a winning combination. We wish to see his future resplendent with prosperity.

But, since awhere there is smoke there is a fire, we awaited John's bursting forth into flames, and we were not disappointed, the great event occurred during Sophomore year. A necessary part of our course is a series of debates, that the class must endure with patience, and herein lies the story: f H Should Ireland receive home rule or independence? John was a speaker for the proposition that it should he independent, and in a fiery, impassioned appeal that stirred the emotions of us all fand which we are sorry to say could not have been heard in Parliamentl, he left no doubts in our minds that there could be no further question of home rule. Athletics, to John, were a necessary factor in the upkeep of good health, and here again he shone. Sad to relate, however, his efforts in this line were not those of a patriot, as his favorite pastime became famous in Mexico. What favors Dame Fortune will shower down on the Bridgeport hoy in the future remains a question, but if she continues with her past generosity, we are confident that J ohnis future success is assured, and that is our parting wish.

This didn't always elate Jim, especially when he was figuring out where the pulmarus longus had its origin and insertion. Still, he always managed to keep his temper in these playful scenes. There is one remarkable thing about Jim: he had the most eloquent powers of oratory on matters pertaining to Ethics, Darwinism, and the like.

But Jake's talents were not limited to the art of friendship and the arts of entertainment. A scholar of excep- tional ahility, he has always taken a peculiar delight in delving into certain myste- rious sciences, and has often been found surrounded by a coterie of disciples pouring forth the chemical contents of weird looking bottles. He has been accused of trying to solve the secrets of near-beer, the advent of which, as an ardent prohi- hitionist, he has hailed with great delight.

Naturally quiet, he calls to mind the familiar saying, H Lit- tle boys should be seen but not heard! He never acts or speaks hastily, but when he has decided definitely on a question, his directness of purpose is exceptional. N ,lim7s ability on the diamond was made manifest in his every move when once we succeeded in getting him out for Class baseball.

With philosophy, we found a term by which to designate Jimis theory as to the advantages to be derived from a classical education-Skepticism. However, be it said to his credit, mere theory never deterred him in his quest of knowledge, as the steps to the stage in Fenwick will graphically testify. M Testies 7' were as com- mon to Jim as the 'L Reds' literature in Russia!

When Jim draws a deep sigh, lays aside his Ethics and reaches for his banjo, his ukelele, his guitar, or his mandolin, the corridor likewise bids farewell to the books for the night. Bell drifts in, then Sylvia, then Daley and the music festival is on. Jim has an uncanny-is that the proper word?-ear for music. He has tried with success every known instrument. Occasionally he was a howling success with the French horn until Father Fox had to put in at least a few words. Then he decided that French horns had not the proper timbre. After his ears have become surfeited with music, Jim turns to art, and the quality of his etchings in this book of ours will attest that he is as good an artist as he is a musician. He was so proud of his drawings in Junior year that he insisted on disregarding the dime-a-tack rule and put them all up on the wall. To go hack to his musical abilities, he holds also an honored place in any spontaneously gener- ated quartet on the corridor. Jim is also an accomplished ski-jumper. Possessor of a wonderful pair, he always brought a crowd with him to the snowy hills of Cullum. When we shall hear no more the H plunk, plunk 3' of Jim's banjo and try to listen to the cf clink, clink 77 of dollars, we shall look back to the days when Jim refreshed 97 our souls, and ask ourselves, Wheli is the next reunion?

M lVlal 77 had gone to T gg Amherst for a year and a half before he saw the error of his ways, and transferred T to a bigger and a better college, but after a week had passed it seemed as if he had always been with us. Anon, we beheld his portly and capacious form cavorting upon the basketball floor, soon we heard the deep, rich notes of that perfect bass of his, booming over the footlights of Fenwick. Since then no corridor quartet, no chorus has been complete or even tolerable unless Bill has taken a very active part in it. The ardor that H Mal puts into everything, whether it be harmony orthe slashing game of whist, does not languish under the study lamp. The result has been that he was always rated as one of the most consistent hitters in our little league. The same persistence and consistence that individualized Bill so distinctly at college will follow him through life and will give him success in whatever work he makes his own particular province. Wherever he sets up his tent we know that it will be the gathering place of his friends just as his rooms at Holy Cross have been. Our only regret is that we cannot all be there. Page 102 CYRIL C.

A man of many and varied abilities, we next find him defending the laurels of M Twenty W on the tennis courts, which he did with credit, and justly earned for himself a secure place on the varsity tennis team during his senior year, being a member of the team which twice defeated Clark in the fall of 1919.

This most excellent accomplishment was not 4'lVlac's7' only recommendation, for he soon made his worth as a scholar known to us. However, it was not until Sophomore that we came to appreciate Leo as the superior student that he is. To the delight of his friends and the despair of his rivals when the call was sounded for volunteers to read the difficult decrees in the De Corona, our astute representative of the Keystone State outmatched the others in the eagerness of his response and the ease and fluency of his translations. But even music and scholarship do not express the sum total of the especial talents with which this fortunate youth has shown himself equipped. A bright and charming manner, a lively conversational style, a remarkable sense of humor reinforced by a happy fund of anecdotes and wise cracks 'l made 'GlVlac welcome every- where.

He has constantly striven to take advantage of all the opportunities offered him. In fact the schedule had to suffer a change in order that additional subjects might be added to the course for Clif's erudition. Clif7s abilities were not confined to test tube investigations as witness his ready answer to the 4' Twenty call for football recruits in our freshman year and in the years that followed. Here, too, his work stood out resplendent and he held down end on the class team during its eventful games. Mac's interest in things scientific has not passed unrewarded and at the reorgan- ization of the H. C. Scientific Society he was chosen to guide its destinies through its first year of new life. That their confidence was not misplaced is readily attested to, by the success and popularity of the lecture courses inaugurated under his regime.

His ability to so admirably mingle - Q books with men gained for him many acquaintances whose intimate associations soon ripened into friendship. Notwithstanding his natural tendency to learn, Tom was a propounder of ques- tionnaires and oftentimes this unconscious form of loyalty to the class took on an aspect in harmony with the Fabian policy. This was especially manifested during his sophomore year when he tried, to confound the theories of a certain mechanics professor regarding capillary attraction by exclaiming, U Doesn't water seek its own level? ln his Senior year this ladis ethical views designated him as an Idealist, his conversion from which, however, weqknow has taken place. His connection with the Scientific Society and the Senfresojuns was an evidence of his application to both the serious and social. ln fact, the practical ability to do things has always been Tom,s ideal, and for this reason he has seen to it that he has not become a mere automaton. The result has been, to say the least, a pleas- ing admixture of study, pleasure, and business. To one so worthy of the highest encomiums we must say reward is bound to come. Page 132 HOWARD T.

It was in the class room that H Howie M revealed his ability as a student. The perspicacity of his mind easily grasped the answer to the many complex problems which a student must confront. Howie's greatest avocation is to see the world, no matter whether it be through the highly polished window of a limousine or the airy portals of a U side door Pullmanf' Many a time have we seen him accompanied by some of his chums, attired in walking togs, meander down Linden Lane in search of new towns to conquer. One time it was to Springfield that he paid a visit, from which city many of us received mysterious cards signed X. Y. Z. When the smoke of mystery had faded, our own Howie turned out to be the culprit. Again, Webster greeted his arrival as did Clinton and various other neighboring towns, so that they must have learned to know him as the beloved traveller.

It was only at the last minute that the writer discovered that Lieutenant Rose not only graced an oHicer's uniform very becomingly, but also served in some of the severest campaigns of the World War. This is not a service record-so suffice it to say that his heroism under Ere was conspicuous, his devotion to duty notable. He received a H Croix de Cuerre in recognition of his gallantry, and just by way of showing he was always in the thick of it, he was gassed once, and another time wounded. But uRuss,' is something besides a soldier extraordinary. Student, actor, debater or declaimer-he filled all roles with equal brilliancy. Testimonials galore were his, oratorical prizes were won by his eloquence, and as president of the Nexus Club he displayed a parliamentary finesse that would do credit to a diplomat.

He is more Bostonian than Boston. Yet with due respect to Boston, he valiantly maintains the superiority of the West. 'L Why just count up the ads in the Post and see where the most come from, is one of his arguments. Art, the stage, literature-and Walt Whitman, he revels in them. In Freshman he began his famous career. ln Sophomore he won his class professor to him and many times Father lVloran would say, HWell, now, Mr. Ryan, what do you say to that? 77 ln Junior, his precise logic caused Father Pyne to stop dictating more than once in a while. ln Senior he stood on his laurels, and did not rest. With an exasperating display of facts he knocks down the arguments with which his two aggressive room-mates attack him about once a day and has emerged the master of all controversies in that room. John will disregard all our persuasions to stay East and will return to the prairies. Still it may be for the best, as Holy Cross, in that land Where she should be better known, can find no better exemplar and demonstrator of her worth than John K. Page 141 THOMAS W.

Ladies and gentle- men, it is with the greatest pleasure we introduce to you our own dear Tom, one of the most beloved of H Nineteen Twenty. You, who are of the fairer sex have a care. -do not try your wiles on this modest and reserved appearing young man, for you will no doubt like many others, lose your heart to him in the attempt. It is a very mysterious power he has. Whether it is his genial smile or his warm and sympa- thetic heart or the way his hair is waved, we do not know, all we do know is, that he is much in demand in society and his calling list is lengthy and select. Perhaps this is why Tom is so much given to beauty naps. Any afternoon one can find him resting or building his dream castles while nestled safe in the arms of Morpheus. However, not all of Tomls time is spent in the social sphere or sporting about in the land of dreams. More often he is quenching his deep thirst for knowledge at the Pierian spring, for he also believes a little learning is a dangerous thing, or dashing golf a marching song, or a smooth-flowing verse for the Purple. We cannot say 4' Farewellf' to you, old fellow, for you will always be with us in our hearts. We can and do wish you God-speed through life, and may you always win over your trials as you have won the hearts of your friends. Page 142 B. WALKER SENNETT l l ERIE, PA.

Any time one dropped into Shark's room he was cordially received, and here Bob and Matt on the rostrum undertook to explain all difficulties regardless of their knowledge anent the subject under discussion. If we can judge by the quantity of mail which Pontius receives we can easily say that Bob is just the same well-met and popular boy among the fairer sex as with his classmates.

We recall the day that the absence of his presence in Junior class was so generally felt when Mike opened the door at the pronouncement of his name on the roll-call and answered M Here. However, we heartily agree with his motto, 'Tis better late than never. P He is one of those whose hours of faithful study-when he does Study-have proved him invulnerable to the questions of his professors, much to the amusement of all. For Mike has a keen mind that requires but the whetting of a little study. Yet we believe lVlike,s intellect was somewhat fatigued on the morning when he was caught reading between the lines in Sophomore Greek class. Or perchance it was a little hazy after he had failed in his efforts to enlighten the at Prof 7' about how the man was shingling the roof in the London fog.

The ability to mix business with pleasure, with no disadvantage to the former, is a little accomplishment that Tom has made extremely personal. Tom left the class of L' Nineteen for an ensignship in the navy and his regret at leaving G' Nineteen 7' is more than compensated by the fact that Twenty is now his class.

John was going to college. The trip to Worcester must have been a pleasant one for we all recall a smil- ing, happy youth making his way up Linden Lane. Little did we expect that behind that noble countenance lurked the wisdom of a great philosopher. And yet it so happened. His scholarly characteristics did not attract us until we entered the realm of Philosophy. Ah! it was here that John was to make his presence known and appreciated. He took the keenest delight in skirmishing on the boundaries of philosophy and psychology. His clear cut distinctions, a word here or there and all our doubts were immediately dissipated. Perhaps you may think that his attention was constantly devoted to his studies. But this was not the case. John often shook the dust of College Hall from his feet and betook himself to Rockland. Some say he went there to visit his relatives, but others,-well, that would be telling. John is going to choose the medical profession. If he continues to manifest the same enthusiasm and scholarship we know that Whitman is going to enroll his name among her illustrious sons. I But before we bid him good bye, we wish him luck and every joy. Our only regret is that his stay was too short among us. Farewell, John.

But aside from this characteristic of diplomatic Hnesse, 44 Sully has other claims to renown among his classmates, not the least of which is his ability on the basket- ball floor. As a member of the championship G' Eighteen 'i five he played a good, steady game, fitting admirably into the team-work of a powerful combination. Active in all that pertained to school and class life he became well known on all corridors and was always as regular in his H rounds 7' for tobacco as the corridor prefect in his discipline. As a student, Jim maintained a high standard throughout his course, but at the same time was never known to miss a night permission. Judging from his four years at Holy Cross, we can say that it will not be long before Jim is holding positions of trust and importance in life. Like many other members of 4' Eighteenf Jim spent a couple of years in service overseas, but two years may not be considered a handicap for a fast man on the inside track. Page 149 STANLEY L.

And so it has been with all his dealings. In Junior an Sull was among the missing, but September, 1919, found him with us again.

Not only as a classical performer is he good, but as a leader of the Senior Jazz Band he is a Wonder. However, Frank is a modest sort of chap and is not at all puffed up over his laurels although he says that the faculty is selfish about keeping the orchestra at home. Why, one time they went down to Southbridge-well, we all know the story. But all's well that ends well, and Weill draw the gentle veil of forgetfulness over that scene. , So as Frank goes down Linden Lane for the last time, with his fiddle under his arm, we'll all wish him good luck on the road to fame.

Although Bobis earnest pursuits in the study of Italian might easily fit him to some day become a member of the Italian parliament, we feel that at the present writing we must limit the significance of this appendage to his military activities over there. Bob, in running his course through college, saw what a wonderful gathering was back of him, and answering the L6 call from across departed, only to return to the class of his fondest hopes and desires. Briefly we mean that he preferred 4' Twenty to 4' Eighteen, and for his choice we are in no small measure indebted to him. For Robert's associations with the Senfresojuns in his senior year endeared him to their hearts as a fellow of unusual intimacy and generosity-and especially so on the night of their banquet. While we have been told that 'L Bob 9' was unsuccessful in managing 'C Terry for a performance on 'G Amachure Nite we fail to see how this can serve as the ultimate criterion of his managerial ability. In fact, we need only to point to Bobert's connections with the business of moving and stationary-we might have said Standard-pictures to refute any statement of the latter regarding Bobis success. Our parting cannot weaken the bonds of our friendship with Bob, while the memory of those happy days on the hill must often serve us to consider his success as the natural result of hard work.

If any one word can describe Bill, that is it, and it might cause us gray hairs were we to try to consider and follow out any logical order in enumerating his qualities and abilities. The college and those outside know him in many capacities. Throughout his entire course he has been an ardent worker on the boards and cinders, and won for himself a position of eminence in his sport due in a great measure to his cardinal virtue, stick-to-it- iveness. And when it comes to appearing in full dress and debating before the whole college, fwell, you can't appreciate the task unless you've tried itl, Bill never let the grass grow under his feet any more than when on the track. In wielding the gavel at the meetings of the Philomathic and settling the many disputes that arose he also acquitted himself with honor. College dramatics were aided bv his talent and our class minstrels could always rely on him. At class meetings and amongst the fellows his wit and humor have never found an equal. Reliable, steady, unassuming and congenial, Bill has always held a position of popularity and respect and we have no doubt as to his future, whatever may be in store for him. With a note of sadness we bid him farewell as he leaves Holy Cross. Page 157 wwwwwww Qftnkzn tn, jfnrmzr cnllasgmen In the Latin countries, greetings and farewells are usually expressed by many kisses and H beaucoup 7' excitement, even among the men. ln America, however,lit is different, for it is customary to suppress our emotions, so that many times a handshake, which to the European seems so cold, extends the warmest and truest greetings, or clothes the saddest heart. When many erstwhile members of Twenty saw fit to leave our numbers, they were ushered out often with naught but a grip of the hand or again with a H Hoiah -but under this simple ceremony a voice seemed to cry out, gc Come back to the Hill. This voice haunted the mend wherever they went, so that many have returned, some, however, no longer under the banner of Twenty.

May these Men of Twenty always remember their pleasant associations with their classmen, and may the bonds tied on the Hill always hold the Twenty men united in friendship and good-fellowship.

His ability as a student proved itself when he was commissioned Ensign. We are all together in sending him a L6 Hoiah for success at Harvard College, where he is now completing his course of studies. Page 163 Page JAMES B. DELANEY, Ticonderoga, N. Y. c 'cSquire M Ticonderoga 7' Jim Delaney came to the turning point of his career at the end of Sophomore, and Junior found one more cheery smile absent from our midst. Known as the H Squire 7' on the Hill, we have sent him forward with sincere and hopeful wishes for success in his efforts toward knighthood in the ranks of holy priesthood. JOHN W. FAY, Meriden, Conn. ufacki' Jack entered Holy Cross after graduating 'gsumma cum lauden from Meriden High. We notice the following in one of his books: 6' John W.

Twenty unites in sending him a sincere wish for success in his present undertaking. J. GERARD MEARS, Boston, Mass. nferryn Jerry came to us, firm in the belief that uwhatever is right to do should be done with our best care, strength, and faithfulness of purposen. It was this that en- deared him to Hprofl' and student alike. ln choosing to leave Holy Cross for the ranks of the Jesuits, he left a vacancy which can only be filled by the knowledge of the high ideals which prompted his action. ' JOHN H. HUTCHINSON, Waterbury, Conn. uHutch HHutch's departure at the end of Freshman was the result of a firm determina- tion to do thoroughly his assigned work. He was one of the foremost members of the class, and an ardent follower of the rules and regulations as laid down by the authorities on the Annex. He is now at St. Andrew-on-Hudson, preparing to be the best Jesuit that ever upheld the Principle of Contradiction. WALTER J. BUCKLEY, Taunton, Mass. c'Buck Back in Freshman, four pals climbed Linden Lane to enter upon their college career at Holy Cross. Among them was c'Buck, possessing those qualities which predict success along educational lines. He soon won the respect of his Hprofsf' which was only partly due to his high class standing. Of the four above men- tioned, c'Buck,, was destined to be chosen for the higher ideals of life, and conse- quently he now continues his studies at St. lVIary's Seminary, Baltimore. Page 165 Page 166 THOMAS H. CASH, Dover, N. H. C6Pep99 Mllommyl' Cash arrived a little late in Freshman, but we were all soon aware of his presence, for when he spoke, empires were changed, when he sang, birds paused to listen, and when he slept, all were aroused by the deep silence which prevailed. He earned his monicker 4'Pep,' on the varsity football team, where his caprices were well directed. After leaving us, at the close of Freshman, Dover High secured him as football coach. Wllommyll is now studying law at Ford- ham University, N. Y. NICHOLAS J. FITZGERALD, Albany, N. Y.

His varsity chances, however, were dimmed on account of a broken hand, which he suffered on the Southern trip. When HSteve again rounded into shape, he displayed rare ability on several occasions when ujoen Dugan was laid up. 6'Steve', left us 'to become a naval aviator, and since the Armistice has entered Columbia, where we expect to hear of his athletic prowess and popularity. CHARLES J. WELSH, , Natick, Mass. Chick We are inclined to think that Chick7' perpetrated a premeditated exit from our midst, as he has the honor of being the first Benedict. He was one of Natickas all-around athletes, and showed well at Holy Cross in football and as a pole- vaulter. We might say, as an added bit of interest, that 4'Jakey was always bested in his ring engagements with 4'Chickl'. Page 167 GERALD G. JOYCE ROBERT G. ECAN 1 PHILIP E. SHAW HERBERT S. DUFFY LAWRENCE A.

HBr00msH The game was over, the march of triumph had begun, but in vain the victors as- sailed the portals of Alumni, for there they met the unconquerable spirit of Twenty, in the person of HBroomsie,7. We have hailed him as captain of class football, we have praised him as a 'Ggobf' we have admired him as a poet, and now we unite in respecting him as a true representative and loyal friend of Twenty. .l0HN R. CROTTY, Vlforcester, Mass. Nfolzrzw Not feeling at home amidst the abstract and theoretical, John left the class of Twenty to put his hands to the concrete and the practical. He first gained a posi- tion as inspector of arms in Worcester, and later in Bridgeport. Hearing America's call to arms, he enlisted in the Navy. His are the best wishes of Twenty. LAWRENCE A. BURNS, Geneva, N. Y. 6'Bo0dy l'Boodyls departure marked a milestone in his career, as well as it left a deep regret in the hearts of those from whom he parted. A naturally pleasant disposi- tion and a cheery smile, coupled with a keen enjoyment of a friendly smoke, gave Larry entrance to the Sanctum of Twenty's best wishes. HERBERT S. DUFFY, Columbus, Ohio Hub uHub's one-year stay with us has not been forgotten, for many were his efforts in furthering the interests of Twenty-as Chairman of the Freshman Banquet Committee and as Captain of the Class Basketball Team. We do not know wheth- er uHubM still wears his Western boots, but we are safe in saying that his pleasant smile and friendly greeting could not have been discarded. GERALD T. JOYCE, Pittsfield, Mass. uferryw HJerry was gone as suddenly as he appeared, but he left with us the friendship of a true companion. He immediately entered Catholic University, and from there he sends this toast: XVith a health for the Future, a sigh for the Past, Let us love and remember the Cross to the last, And for all the base lies that the almanacs hold, lVhile the-re's love in the heart, we can never grow old. ROBERT C. EGAN, Gloucester, Mass. l'Regan77 Regan's noble and attractive everyday bearing soon won a place in the hearts of his classmates and those thereabouts-and it was with no slight regret that We learned of his enlistment in the Coast Artillery. He now continues his successful efforts at Tufts Dental College, and Twenty is unanimous in sending him her good wishes. Page 169 Page 170 WILLIAM GARVEY, Fall River, Mass. k CCBIZIZQD G' Corp Bill Garvey, our erstwhile member of the G4Welfa1'e Society, was 'among those sadly missed when we came home to re-enlist at Holy Cross-business stole one of our boon companions. We always relished MBill,s7' calm demeanor and placid nature, in fact, popularity grew on him like ivy on a wall. He is now applying his college training to further the peace and prosperity of his native hamlet. GEORGE E. SHEPHERD, Hopedale, Mass. , GCSlLep77 44Shep came to us under the tutelage of a'Obie'7 O'Brien, the great unshaven, and,the pair were irresistable. As a long-distance runner, NShep'i had few su- periors, and many were his victories-Boston now claims him as one of her best. J. HAROLD CoLcAN, Franklin, Mass. uf. Haroldw Realizing that the hypnotic music of his incomparable voice was the one great asset that would burst asunder the doors of success, NJ. Harolda' early displayed such talents as he boasted, and Freshman found him a prime mover in 3rd O,Kane's most exclusive clubs. His departure has left aan empty chair at many a friendly argument, but after three years of successful effort in the service of Uncle Sam, HJ. Haroldi' has still to meet his equal in that particular endurance test for which we so well knew him. JAMES F. CoLL1Ns, Boston, Mass. CG 99 Peacoat uljeacoatn was one of the 'csteppersfa and we hated to see him go: failing health forced M,Iim's', departure and left his playmate, 'aAxel,7, with one less lieutenant. Jim had that dapper appearance, honey of nature and sweet placidity of character that made him dear to all. 'cPeacoat',, we think, has on him the stamp of success, a yard wide i' the shoulders. Page 171 Page 172 WILLIAM R. HIGGINS Lawrence, Mass. CC 97 Tramp The 'G Tramp merited his name, not in the way it is generally understood, hut rather on account of his ability to withstand the 'fgaffw of the gridiron. Weive seen him carry the ball in the B. C. game when it seemed to the spectators that he should have been out of the play because of nothing less than a broken neck and two broken ankles. He left us at the end of Freshman, and has since been success- ful in many attainments, the two chief being a Mrs. W. R. Higgins and a good business position. JAMES A. DONAHUE, Worcester, Mass. 'afinzw i Among our Worcester classmates, we found one who possessed no slight ability as a speaker, which he clearly manifested at the Sophomore Smoker. Jim was a quiet fellow, possessing a certain force of character which readily endeared him to those with whom he associated. He engaged in business at the end of Sophomore and his success along economic lines soon manifested itself. We regret that circum- stances prevented a man of such personality from completing his educational endeavors with his classmates of H Twenty. WALTER T. lVl0NAHAN, North Chelmsford, Mass. HC00p Loyalty is the key to friendship, and Walter had the key. It was this prominent characteristic that won for 'L the goop U the friendship of those who now regret his absence from the Hill. just as the crack of the ball bat is the surest sign of Spring, so the hum of the guitar or the jazzy tones of a Steinway ushered in contentment to the heart of Walter. We know that he has found a welcome at Norwich University, where he now continues his efforts after learning. JAMES A. SAGE, Troy, N. Y. Klint A certain sign, over Jim's desk in Alumni, told us the character of one of our most popular former classmates. The contents of the sententious phrase are not so important, but when we say that Jim is now studying for the priesthood at H St. Bernardis 'i we know that it has accomplished the desired result. We can predict nothing but success for a man whose every thought and action was directed towards the correction of former faults and the deepening of present virtues. Page 173 Page 174 FREDERICK J. HARRINGTON, Fall River, Mass. f'Fred', Fred easily won recognition as a student at Holy Cross, and his ability on the track merited the coveted MH. C. To alfred it represented one more objective successfully attained. Preparation for the priesthood called him from our midst at the end of Sophomore, and we are certain that his new endeavors will be crowned with that success which marked him a true representative of Twenty. WILLIAM A. BEATTIE, - Watervliet, N. Y. Bill In Freshman days, Bill was the great gloom destroyer, for many a happy echo from the friends we left behind passed through his hands. An excellent student and a 'true friend, we always found tfBill ready to lend a helping hand. He is now preparing for orders at St. lVlary's, Baltimore, and Wllwentyi' is proud to name him among her sons who have chosen to seek commissions in the army of God. JOSEPFI B. CoNNoRs, Fall River, Mass. A aloe Joeis stay at Holy Cross was notable for his many trips home, although as a stu- dent he was always prepared and willing to assume the responsibilities of up- holding the honor of his class. His departure for St. Andrew's-on-the-Hudson, at the close of Sophomore, marked the termination of a successful career at Holy Cross, and the beginning of that long journey towards ordination in the Society of Jesus. THOMAS F. FITZGERALD, Fall River, Mass. 'aFitz Although Tom was a ball player, the outstanding feature of his success was found in his ability as a scholar. ln Freshman, he easily captured the coveted prizes that are the reward of patient and diligent application to study. ln choos- ing to enter the Seminary. Fitz', has undertaken a work wheiein his characteris- tics will find a field for the greatest development. THOMAS H. MURPHY, Fall River, Mass. HT0m Tom departed with several other boys from Fall River at the eIId of Sophomore. While a member of our class, he easily won recognition as a student, and a prom- inent place in the 6' good fellow club. ln entering upon his new educational endeavors we are firm in the belief that so Murph M will meet with success, so Twenty looks forward to his ordination in the holy priesthood.

Like all other classes that ever entered Holy Cross, this class was of course the best. This fact was admitted by every member of the class. It was difficult for some time, however, to convince anyone out- side of the class that the opposite was not true. lt was not, perhaps, until the Spring of 1918, when these freshmen ran off with first honors in the interclass track meet, and boasted of five letter men on the varsity baseball squad that the idea began to spread that the class of 1921 was something more than a motley crowd large in number but small in STEPHEN S. JACKSON, PRES. achievement. This respect for the class of 1921 grew accordingly as its members began to appear on the Purple staff, on the debating teams, in the glee club and orchestra, and especially when the varsity relay team sent out four Twenty-One men to repre- sent the college two successive years. Those of the class of Twenty who stop to read these lines when glancing over these pages, seeking a thrill from the memories of days on the hill, will not doubt the sincerity of the good wishes that we extend to them as they are about to cross the threshold of Alma Mater for the last time.

On account of the unsettled condi- tions ofthe country and the introduction of the Student Army in colleges, during their Freshman year, their course was somewhat curtailed, and hence, like other classes, they were compelled to complete their year in shorter time than normal. Yet this outstanding inpedi- ment did not hinder them from becom- ing acquainted with the upper classmen, and it was not long until a close union and a cooperative spirit existed between l them and the upper classmen, which was manifested when the Class of Nineteen Twenty undertook preparations for the JAMES R' NOLANQ PRES' Holy Cross-Boston College football game. Athletics is a chief tendency among the Class of Twenty-Two, which is quite evident from the number of men represented on the champion baseball nine of 1919, and also this inclination is apparent from the numbers of this class who comprised the football team uf 1919. As a Freshman baseball nine, they have the honor and distinction of defeating the crack team of Exeter Academy, which had not been defeated in some time previous. Literary talent of the class is manifest from the numerous selections which have appeared and are still appearing in the Purple, and also fromthe fact that the class is represented in the K. K. literary society. Page 185 1922 F LASS 0 U SD UQ CD r-1 oo C C5 Brown, Leo D. Burke, Harry J. Conron, John J., Jr. Dolan, Thomas A. Fallon, William T. Ferris, Austin J. Flynn., J.

Most of the members of the class saw service in this great war, some in the navy, others in the army, and conse- quently bring with them at the outset of their college career a vaster and more varied field of experience than members of any preceding Freshman Class may claim. n We hold the high honor of the largest Freshman Class in the history of the college. It may not be presumptuous, therefore, to hope that the Class of Twenty-Three will realize not only the -. high standards of the past but even sur- pass them in some little measure, setting a higher mark for coming years to HAROLD E.

Bullet 7' Mitchell, a letter man in two major sports, led the best 'team that tore up the gridiron in recent years at Holy Cross. He was one of the best plunging backs that ever played on a Purple eleven. In his first appear- ances, the fans marked him for a star, and Mitch lived up to their fondest hopes. Cleo's best bet, our Senior year, was Bullet Mitchell and we followed them to Boston to see our Captain full- back buck his way to victory. At a time when things looked brightest Mitchell sustained a broken collar bone, and that alone hindered us from defeating one of the best teams in the East. Having won two football letters, Mitch 7' in his Sophomore days decided to sport a white sweater, so he donned the track regalia one afternoon and easily took first place in a fast half mile. In all truth, Mitch leaves behind him a record as a real sport and a sterling athlete. Page 194 6161-clvnbg Trvsuood Page 195 1 X Page 196 jfnnthall Qlrihutza JAMES J. QAXELJ MCCULLOCH V For four long, trying years, 'G Axel 'i McCulloch has labored unceasingly for the greater glory of his Alma Mater on the football gridiron. There never was as much real pigskinn ability concealed in a small package as there was in this great lineman. He was always using his head, following the ball, strong in emergency. He played the game for all it was worth and was a veritable Gibraltar to the Purple's offense and defence. Patriotism prevented H Axel 'i from gaining the coveted H. C. four times as he cast his lot with Uncle Sam in the middle of the '18 season. EDWARD J. QMICKEYD CONNORS Possessing rare, all-around football ability, H Mickey if Connors has carved a name for himself that will remain for all time in the Purpleis gridiron annals. His skill was quickly recognized, making a permanent place at end in his Freshman year. In Sophomore, 'L Mickey had little difficulty in retaining his position, his Work standing out pre-eminently. As captain of Holy Cross' S. A. T. C. eleven, '18, he showed that he possessed the qualifications of a true leader, the 4' service aggregation having a clean slate at the completion of the season. In 319, M Mickey was drafted to plug up a hole in the Purple backfield. How well he succeeded in the task assigned him is evident from the teamis great record. GEORGE M. F ITZPATRICK CFITZJ Worcester has contributed many stellar gridiron performers to Holy Cross aggregations in the past but none has succeeded in establishing so enviable a record as irresistable 6'Fitz. Many athletes have arrived on Mt. St. James in former years very highly touted only to fail in the pinch. H Fitz's 5' advent to Holy Cross was preceded by a reputation that was paramount as an all-around athlete, in his case, however, an exception to the rule was found, for Fitz delivered with a vengeance. His work in the Princeton game in 316 attracted the greatest attention and his featured battering smashes and long spiral punts were a pretty display. 42 Fitz was one of those players who thought things out almost instantly and took advantage of every opening. He always put his whole soul into his work and was never found wanting. His achievements will hold a conspicuous place in Purple football history. Page 197 jtnnthall llieaume Despite the fact that three losses were chalked up against the wearers of the Purple, the Football season of 1919 marked a new era in the history of the gridiron game at Holy Cross. It was the first year in which Coach Cleo O7Donnell had charge and the results of his work were extremely gratifying. Coming to Holy Cross at a time when football was almost in a state of chaos, this able mentor succeeded in building up a wonderful fighting aggregation from a group which at first was com- prised of but mediocre material. The record of 1919 eleven was one of which we were all justly proud. The team was rightly termed 'L the miracle elevenf' and with Coach O'Donnell at the helm .l in future years Holy Cross will un- MATTHEW' P. CAVANAUCH, MGR. doubtedly resume her place with the foremost college aggregations of the country. The opening game on the schedule, that with West Point, found Coach O'Donnell struggling along with but a weekis practice behind him. The Purple, however, gave the HSoldiers'7 real battle, and despite the 9 to 0 loss, the Holy Cross supporters did not give up hope. Bowdoin appeared on Fitton Field the following Saturday, looming up as a most powerful array, as she had succeeded in holding the mighty Brown team to a 6 to 0 score the previous week. It was a far different group of players that repre- sented the Purple on this occasion, the week's practice sessions working wonders with Holy Cross' performers. 6' Chick 9, Gagnonis two touchdowns, followed by two goals on the part of at Bill 7' Daley, explains the Purple's 14 to 0 victory. Our most signal victory was over Springfield, which team had held Harvard to a comparatively low score earlier in the season. Our eleven was keyed up to just the proper pitch, and every man gave all that there was in him. The long runs of Gagnon, the vicious line-bucking of G' Mickey 7, Connors, the punting of Daley and the defensive work of lVlcCulloch were the most worthy features. The line held like a wall, and Springfield found it impregnable. The game was won by a 6 to O score, not through any flukes but by means of superior playing, as was candidly Page 198 2 r 1 -V4E,a:iE73-srfg: .,- g, 5g'Ll1:.5 5'-352,75 -A 213.-E-, E' E5-'-1 1-F-193 5-if-37'- ---2-'L1 --:ff-3 -5fT?':N' T RI: 1 ,Q 4 ' !5l?'5l 'fb II? 11: ,w- P nfl lim: fill! ,pig wmqxn will :alll A IE-s ' .,, Wd' E K W ' inane :W ilipll g.

It was a well- balanced team, with strong hitting, spec- tacular fielding and high class pitching. It depended on no one star to carry it l along. The strength of the nine is reflected in some of the statistics 'tabu- lated for the seasonas play. ln the twenty-three games in which Holy Cross participated, the Purple men scored 197 i runs against 55 for their opponents, nearly four to one. They had six shut- 1 outs to their credit and only once in the j season were they held to a one-run margin- , RAYMOND B. CAREY MGR. 1920 The New York Times, in listing col- lege nines for the season, had the fol- lowing to say, H The college baseball season for 1919 which has just come to a close, providing competition every bit as brilliant as the campaigns of former years, has left no doubt as to where the championship belongs this year. That honor goes to Holy Cross. The Worcester' nine, which suffered but one defeat in twenty-three contests and met the strongest contenders in college ball, stands out more boldly than any other title claimant in yearsfl At the completion of this most successful season, three of Holy Cross, champion- ship nine were induced to try their hand in major league ball. Capt. Emmons fChickl Bowen, 4' Eddie 7' Gill and Gligger N Statz. With Jesse Burkett once more at the helm, Holy Cross looks forward to another banner season and championship aggregation for 1920. In 1917, Burkett was selected to care for the destinies of the Purple nine. From the day of his arrival, Holy Cross has ruled supreme in collegiate baseball, winning 70 games and losing but 8 in three years of competition. The majority of the performers of the 1919 team are again seeking positions on this year,s varsity and with such a galaxy of stars as Capt. Daly, McLaughlin, O'Connor, Maguire, Gagnon, Santoro, Connors, Dugan and Duffy in the fold, Holy Cross supporters are assured of another successful season. Page 203 Yllrihute tn cuiapt. william QL. fslannszy ibalp Possessing natural, all-around ability, but lacking the polish of a finished ball player, the 4' moose, as he is commonly termed by all on the hill, presented him- self to Coach Jesse Burkett early in Freshman year for the purpose of perfecting his play. Three years have passed since that memorable Spring, and how well Burkett succeeded in nurs- ing 'A Moose along is evinced by the fact that H Bill 1, was unanimously selected to lead the varsity nine for 1920. Today Moose is a finished product. He is a terrific hitter, a sure fielder, possessing an arm that is the equal of any in college balldom, and is very speedy on the paths for a man of his size., During the 1917 season, M Bill sat attentively by the side of Jesse on the WILLIAM T. DALY CAPT. . . . ' bench, absorbing a great deal of 1HSldC knowledge. One year of this sort of learning and if Bill 7' was fitted for regular varsity work. In 1918, Moose 7, figuratively set the college world on fire by his tremendous slugging, winning many games for the Purple by virtue of his timely stick work. He continued his sensa- tional work in Nineteen, at the conclusion' of the season being rewarded with the captaincy for the season of 1920. Owing to his eager desire to set an example for his teammates, the 4' Moose, while practicing for the return game with Brown, suffered a compound fracture of his ankle. This accident kept Bill out of the game for the latter part of the season and that his guiding power was missed was very evident. aMoose's7, athletic prowess was not confined to baseball alone, for on the gridiron his work accounted for many of the Purple's conquests. 6' Bill enjoys the distinction of being one of the greatest drop-pickers Holy Cross has had in some time. It was his trusty toe that sent Worcester Tech and Bates down to defeat in the Sixteen season. ln Eighteen and Nineteen Bill H was again listed among the Purple stars, his punting and all-around work being of the highest calibre.

IBILLI WHITE Holy Cross was fortunate when Hart- ford,Conn.,temporarilyparted with Capt. Bill White, as he journeyed up Linden Lane to start his four year grind. Billis track ability was an unknown quantity until the call for cross country candi- I dates was issued. He was a marked man after his first practice, and Bart nursed him along. Bill easily gained the goal of all athletes by annexing his H. C. in Freshman year. ln Sophomore he dupli- cated the feat he accomplished as a Freshman, and easily won his second varsity letters. Bill is a runner in name only, as he joined the navy in order that his favorite sport would not overtake him during the stormy days of the war. I He returned to school after being mustered out of the service, and in spite M' 'C of an injury to his knee succeeded in WILLIAM A, WHITE, CAPT, garnering his third consecutive letter. For his efforts Bill was selected to lead . Holy Cross' Nineteen Twenty track candidates. The honor could not have .rested upon a more deserving member of the squad, as Bill will not only be a competent leader, but also a living example to his men. He is a consistent runner for a small fellow, trains earnestly and has plenty of endurance. His famous axiom, if I smell a micef, stands him in good stead in all his races, as he immediately endeavors to ferret out his dangerous rivals, from the crack of the pistol. ln closing, we are proud to number Bill among the host of 'C Twentyis '7 letter men and anxiously look forward to the final award of track letters, when Capt. White's efforts will be rewarded for the fourth time, an unusual honor, but a fitting tribute to one who has trained so earnestly and consistently the past four years at lVlt. St. James.

Piugr: ZIIID ' IA Tttrark Resume From the first call of the announcer until the tape of, the final heat was breasted, Holy Cross may well be proud of the results of her indoor and outdoor representatives. Holy Cross, like all other colleges had to struggle against the existing conditions of an abnormal year. At the first indoor classic of New England+the Boston Athletic Associ- ation games-our consistent and trust- worthy quartet, Dignan, Maher, King and Mullen, for the frfth consecutive time, vanquished the Boston College A Four. Holy Cross was also fittingly represented in the open events. Danny Mullen finished second to Bowden of M. I. T. in the 660-yards run. In the fee mile run '4Slug Sullivan finished second to Connolly, the New England champion. Climaxing it all, Capt. Foley placed third in the forty-yard invitation race. J. E. FENTON, MCR. In the only other indoor games, the big event of the East-the New England championships--Holy Cross, as usual, was not to be denied her share of the laurels. Tom Dignan-the pride of Mt. St. Jamesecompeting in a field of the best men in the N. E. A. A. U., sprinted away with the three-hundred yard event. Earlier in the evening he finished second in the sixty-yard handicap. Entering the sixty-yard championship he also finished in second place. At the first meeting of the Eastern Intercollegiate Holy Cross finished fifth, with lflnw points. In the dual meets, Holy Cross conquered Springfield 78 to 48. In the other meet with the University of Maine, Holy Cross was nosed out by a six point margin on a soggy field. And thus the final tape was fittingly breasted at the close of a satisfactory and encouraging season. Page 210 -:L 3 N K , I N ' W n V mir, .ffyim 'fA' ' ' if jlwjf' . ' 4 W A V ,.

It has suffered from the inconvenience of arranging alternating schedules, due to the superficiality that surrounds the entrance into intercollegiate adage M Time alters all hardshipsf' finds a conditions on the hill. It is only after the is awarded his letter, or in other words, it competition in tennis. But the old suitable place in reference to tennis greatest success on the court a man is harder on account of regulations governing the sport to obtain a H. C. in tennis than in any other sport. Last year no one was fortunate enough to gain the distinction of winning the necessary points due to the unsettled conditions of college athletics. But this year things are blossoming forth and unless some unforeseen complications set in, Holy Cross will have one of the best tennis teams in her history, under the conscientious direction of Capt. Ed. Dineen. The outstanding feature of the interclass series was the enthusiasm manifested by the students of all classes. In the spring tournament ninety-five men competed for the honors. The promoters of the tournament were well paid for their efforts as a number of promising candidates were uncovered in the lower classes. In the class of 1920, we boast of Big Ed. Dinneen, Marrion, O,Callaghan, Geaney, and Hawthorne. We are anxiously awaiting the call for candidates, as we feel confident Capt. Ed. Dineen, Marion and O'Callaghan will be able to make the varsity. Hawthorne, if he displays his usual form, will likely make one of the uncertain positions on the team. ,lohn Geaney-the pride of Bridgeport, and genial Sinn Feiner, is liable to surprise any one on the squad, as he is very active on the court, besides being a close student of the game. We are awaiting the milder days of spring, when tennis will reap the rich harvest it has labored to gain the past few years. i Page 213 OFFICERS OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION JESSE C.

They, by their prowess, call to mind the generals and commanders of old-the Napoleon, the Caesar, the Hannibal and the cohorts of others. Still when we scrutinize their activities we find how incapable they would have been Without military authority and the support of the state. They kept their armies from disbanding not solely by an appeal to patriotism, but also by the coercion of the courts-martial. Here, however, we have a picture of two lead- ers, who, with no judicial support, led an army of fearless rooters to the scene of every battle. Theirs was an unap- preciated task. The future held no bronze and marble monuments, but the cheer leaders, Jakey and Bell, won their battles with the aid of the relentless weapon, the smile. They won by the esprit which seemed to emanate from them. lVlay the future wielders of the megaphone at Holy Cross meet with this same loyal support. Tribe Qtrusanz nt 1919 That the city of Boston should be treated to a gaze at 99.99 per cent. of Holy Cross' student body on the Fif- teenth day of November, 1919, was due to the energy and vivacity of the 4' Help Cleo Beat Cav 'i Publicity Committee. With a motto of M by hook or by hockf' they transported the spirit of Fitton Field to Fenway Park in the Hub. Par- ticular praise for this work is due to James Cletus lVIagner, known by the colloquialism, H the kid with the stulff' His actions should set a precedent for the classes that follow Nineteen Twenty down Linden Lane.

In football, our efforts always resulted most favorably, having tasted defeat but once in three years of competition. Such a record is one of which we are all justly proud. 4 In our Freshman year, three games were required to decide the winner of the Soph-Freshie tilt, the second year men finally emerging a winner by a scant margin. Our eleven displayed wonderful form, but with the breaks of the battle going against us, we were unable to produce the necessary punch to score. In Sophomore, Twenty placed an eleven on the field that compares most favor- ably with any that ever participated in a class series at Holy Cross. The Freshmen were swamped with little effort on the part of our representatives, while the Juniors likewise tasted defeat in a mighty struggle for the championship. The spectacular playing 'of Capt. H Bill Sullivan, H Punk Ryanf Jacobs, Devine and Carey deserves special mention here. It is needless to state that the M boys were able to live in luxury for some time afterwards, while the supporters of our defeated rivals were often seen on Front street, proceeding in the general direction of the depot, but that was not their destination, even though they were seen to cast many glances at their timepieces. Owing to the war, no series was staged in Junior, but with all the veterans in line Twenty would undoubtedly have presented another premier aggregation. The Senior-Junior struggle in 1919 produced no scoring on the part of either team. Although held to a deadlock, Twenty outplayed and outfought their bitter rivals. The all-around work of Capt. Keville featured, while H Ted U Comiskeyis end running was spectacular. Owing to the lateness of the season, no play-off was staged, thus robbing us of an opportunity to add another scalp to our already enviable heap. Page 218 Page 219 CUZIHES ZBHERZIIJHII lnterclass basketball has rapidly come to the fore until today it is looked upon as the most popular winter sport at Holy Cross. No doubt the extremely fast quintets representing each class has proved a great stimulation in placing the game upon such a high pedestal of esteem. As in the case of other class athletics, Twenty has ever placed a formidable quintet on the court, a 'G five that always made things most interesting for the leader. In Freshman, with HEd Riley and gclacki' lVlcDonough at forward, Capt. 'G Hub i, Duffy at center and 4' Jim Lucey and 'L Ray Carey as backs, we were in the running for first honors until the final whistle was blown, being nosed out for first honors by the heavier and more experienced Senior team. Again in Sophomore, Twenty battled its way to second place in the final standing. Weakened by the loss of Capt. Duffy and Riley, the Sophs forced the Juniors to exert their utmost in order to gain the top rung. The quintet was composed of Capt. H lim 'i Lucey, C' Jack m McDonough, 'G Dan W Collins, 4' Ray 5, Carey and 'G Bob Ruane. The wreath signifying 4' champions N rested serenely on the head of Twenty at the conclusion of the annual series in 1919. As Juniors, we placed a hard-working, united and clever passing aggregation on the fioor which swept everything before it. The competition was keen and spirited, but we were equal to the task. Our repre- sentatives were Capt. 4' Jim M Lucey, twice selected for a berth on the H All-Purple N five, ujackn lVlcDonough, who took first honors in individual scoring for the season, M Mickey 'a Connors, a wonderful defensive man whose work was most valuable, L' Ray Carey, one of the best defensive backs of the year, and H Axel lVlcCulloch, a steady player and a most dependable man on the back court. HPunk Ryan and 6' Bob 7' Ruane had no small share in pennant winning. On the court we were ne plus ultra. Page 220 Page 221 01ZIa55 Qtrack The date of the annual class track meet ought to be Bart Sullivan's birthday- this is the day when the peerless coach discovers many a promising championship contender. Many a cinder artist has come to Holy Cross unknown even to himself, only to awaken to his own worth on the day of the class track meets. uBill 7, White never ran after anything but a street car before entering Holy Cross, and today, a Senior, our captain of track is the big contender for New England two mile honors. Competition on class track days is as thrilling and fully as fast as some dual meets. When L' Axel 7, McCulloch topped the timbers in the low hurdles and high our Junior year, the timers were afraid to announce the reading. M Axel could always bring home to 6' Twenty 3, a few points in these meets. His coach was his pinochle partner, 4' Bob Cummings. 6' Bob 7' was a varsity hurdler and showed his protege the gamels fine points. ' Frank Calligan was a consistent point-getter in the half-mile all four years. 44 Tom O,Donnell and 'S Jerry Grady were our milers. In the dashes Jack Barnes and Teddy Comiskey were the surprise of the year when this pair made 64 Andy 7' Kelley do his best to nose them out. H Herm 7' lVlcCrath was our entry in the high jump and won third place our Sophomore and Junior years. H Jack 'l Connelly won his numerals with the Freshmen relay and competed in the hurdles. With the above mentioned contenders still on our roster, the class track meet this spring should find 46 Twenty, as ever, near the tape at the finish.

DUST QGTHU TEES .- 6516155 iiaistnry freshman war UA11 hail! the Freshman class appears NVith loud acclaim and mighty cheersf' In September of 1916 one more class added its name to the already lengthy roster of Holy Cross. After an innumerable succession of steps, hills, and more steps, which made the journey from the Auburn car to the sacrosanct quarters of our respected Prefect of Studies, one to be eternally remembered, we underwent the first operation-registration. In passing, let us recall how painful was this operation-a little matter of four hours or thereabouts, sitting patiently around the registrar's desk, waiting, just waiting. Although but a few hours in our new home, we quickly imbued the spirit of the surroundings and after that wonderful session in 9 Annex, we all knew one another like long lost brothers. We soon unharnessed our horses, took on the poet's mood and started our eventful ride through Freshman. At our first class meeting, Bob Sharkey, the Solon of Somerville, was selected to handle the reins and guide our destinies, the which he did with credit to self and Somerville. 4, There follows our first meeting with another class in athletic contest, namely our football game with the Sophomores, in which, contrary to precedent, we held our own and fought with such unity that the opponents defeated us-in a close game-- only after their much-touted team had been tied by our warriors in two bloody bat- tles, led on to the fray by the premier class band of 1920. The next important event in our young H. C. life was time-honored Holy Cross Night, our newest source of wonderment, and this introduction to our alumni brothers served as a new source for our college pride. To recount the various activities and events of this, our first year, would be impossible, yet we could not close our episode without mentioning our banquet and its post-prandials of Sancticrucian good-fellowship. Many happy moments will we enjoy recalling this, our first formal gathering, brothers all. Towards Spring a bombshell was thrown into our camp by the declaration of war. Men of 1920, with their college fellows, answered the call in goodly num- bers. Here we lay aside our freshman memoirs, passing our first milestone, peer- ing into the distance for the sign-post '4Sophomore',. Page 226 I Page 227 4HZIa55 leigtnry Snphnmnte was A year for fools, the sophists say, But every dog must have his day. When we had finally found ourselves back on the hill, in the Fall of 1917, it was a queer feeling that we experienced. No longer were we pierced with the pains of being Freshmen, yet we were halted in our enthusiasm by the realization that 1920 was still quite a bit distant. But there was strength in our numbers, and the one hundred and seventy of us were not hampered very long by any anxiety for the future. The first of Sophomore accomplishments was our defense of Alumni Bridge, when a Freshman rabble stormed it. Horatius had nothing on us, for our line was invulnerable. True to our Roman patron, we drove the hordes back, but not before the railing had given ,way and a few of us had landed on the terraces below with a strangle hold on a goodly number of the vanquished. The following day came class elections, and 'fTini'7 Daley of Burlington, Ver- mont, was elected to assume management. Under his guidance we thrived in every sense of the word. Before we noticed that time had been flying, we had al- ready returned from the Thanksgiving vacation, to find two new members annexed to the class. Hans and Pierre hailed from Porto Rico and, as they had been edu- cated in France, their command of English was extremely limited. But it was not very long before 1920,s tutorage had had its effect and the two brothers were in- corporated as Hfiegular Fellowsw. As we trailed along in the wake of Demosthenes and Socrates, there was not much time for uextrasw. But finally budding talent, for so long smothered, burst into bloom. The blooming took the form of a Class Smoker which we held in Fen- wick Hall the evening of February Sth, 1918. For the rest of our Sophomore year we were much engrossed in pursuing the classics, and when June rolled around, although some of the class had left for the service, those of us who remained, were only too glad to shake off the shackles of Latin and Greek and assume once more a cosmopolitan role. Page 228 Page 229 Glass laistnry Junior was A-nd now old Philos runs in riot, Prescribing theses for a diet. The class of 1920 has the very unique distinction of being the only class to make its Junior year in five and one-half months. And we are proud of this dis- tinction not because we escaped a few months' work but merely because we saw that in a crisis, men of 1920 had the ustuffn, fif you will pardon the slang ,ex- pressionj. ln a normal Junior year it takes a great deal of hard work to advance very amiably after having been introduced to Philosophy and Physics. But just imagine the concentrated energy expended to accomplish the feat in almost one- half the usual time. But we blush at mention of such compliments, so let's away with the bouquets. The middle of January saw the lights of Alumni flashing forth the news, uthey,re back, they're backw. And we were glad to be back and begin a much belated journey on the third lap of our course. Practically the first thing we did was to elect a Gubernator, classically speaking. And as we look back over the last two years we certainly manifested the best of udgment in electing 'flVlat Cavanaugh, of Dover, New Hampshire. When you say H Mat 5' is a Prince, you not only character- ize him but also his two years of Presidency over the class, for he was re-elected President at the end of Junior. As we waded through the Spinozism of philosophy, Easter came upon us before we were aware of it. But before Easter came prepara- tion for the Prom, and the Saturday evening after Easter, in the ball-room of the Bancroft, the Prom itself. To say it was a success would belittle it, for we had many successes, but we might consider it thus-the best of our successes. Shortly after this, at the Washington Club, Lake Quinsigamond, we ran a Smoker which did its best to rival the Prom. Spring sped along and with Spring came the dread of our first Philosophy Orals. But we plugged away and as we basked in the June sun, stretched out along the banks of the Blackstone, a Major in one hand, a lVlinor in the other, and a Cos- mology for a pillow, little did we realize that our stay at Holy Cross was one year nearer its end. Page 230 Page 231 QEIa55 laistnrg brains was From black-govvned Seniors We advance, To live and love, and work-perchance. With Hbatter up, our class stepped serenely and with confidence onto the dia- mond of Holy Cross College life for the last time. In Beaven Hall, the sacred haunt of seniority, we took up our abode and after having torn down all past Senior records, we raised aloft the standard of 1920's unique geniality. In keeping with our past good-fellowship, we entertained our younger brothers- Freshmen-at an informal smoker and minstrel, given in Beaven Hall, at the close of October. Here we took into our respect and regard the new influx of humanity which had come Mount St. Jarnesward, to become men of 1923. Holy Cross Night found us all prepared, deep in dignity and garbed in cap and gown, to uphold and to guard with progressiveness our untarnished escutcheon. George L. Conley, our amiable and capable Chief Marshal, arranged for us a pro- gram enjoyable in its entirety and well deserving of imitation in future years. To add to the honor of our already distinguished class, Eamon De Valera, Presi- dent of the Irish Republic, in the presence of Facultyfcivil notables and student body, was given by Reverend Rector the degree LL. D., and thus was added to the roster of 1920 his distinguished name. May we, before our first Annual Re- union, be in a position to cable our Alumni brother felicitations for his unselfish part in the world vindication of Ireland. Surrounded by snow, encompassed by cold, we spent the real New England Win- ter whiling away the hours via indoor sports. At length came Easter and the surcease of Worcester's blizzards. The longest lane has a turning, and so we were soon again in form, pursuing the elusive principles of Senior studies with the Final Orals as our goal. We have corne upon the last milestone, here the road forks. May its devious paths lead us to honest endeavor and sane success. May no one of us forget another of us. Let us say G'Vale with a wish in our hearts for the prosperity of each and every man of 1920's capable class, remembering what our class song tells us-'fa friend of 1920 will forever be a friendn. FINIS. Page 232 Page 233 Page 234 ibramatir Enemy Henry IV, Part I, was played and well, as wc remember, We were timid Fresh- men then, and our Marlowes in the making were content to appear on the pro- gram, and perchance have just a word here and there as the show passed on. Le Grand J. Bell and William Beattie of our year played the role of those silent actors who wear the uniform-their memory was perfect. The sentence, uThe carriage awaits without,'7 was recited with true artistic feeling by William F. Doyle, '20. In the production of 4'The Rivals our wearers of the buskin bloomed to the full. Jacobs, Ruest, Kennedy, White, and O'Donnell, were the class representa- tives and were actors inimitable and quite professional. This was in our Sopho- more year, and five representatives in leading roles awakened the eyes of all who looked on, that Twenty was an entertainer of more than fair ability. Beyond peradventure of a doubt, this, our Senior year, will be a blue ribbon period for our histrionic brethren. We contemplate putting on The Fatal Shotf' and before the curtain drops for the last time, we shall again share the happy ap- plause of a Worcester audience. N Dudley O'Leary, Jacob, and Clair, the Dor- chester Bard, under the histrionic and financial guidance of George Keville and Thomas O'Connor, all of Twenty, are expected to be the shining lights of the program.

Many a Daniel Webster, as these States can well testify, found his bud of oratory first opening in our halls at Holy Cross, and the good work goes on. As befits a college whose sole purpose is the teaching of the liberal arts for the formation of thinking minds and for the training of the nation's youth in oratorical composition and expression, Holy Cross has ever and always held an enviable rank in the field of pros and cons. To the brilliancy of this entity, Holy Cross, fame in debate, the Class of 1920 has contributed at least as much lustre as any class which ever trod the sacred halls of the College. But why should one be surprised? Upon reflection, one can- not fail to note the talent in the class, even today, although the class has lost several of its most prominent orators in the course of the last two years. And today 1920 reigns supreme in the art of debate. During the three years, 1917-'18-'19, Holy Cross has been a participant in four inter-collegiate debates. Brown and Georgetown were debated in 1917. Three of the four representatives of the Holy Cross team which invaded Providence were members of the Class of 1920. They were: Captain Denis Hurley, Philip H. Breen and T. Lawrence Foran. Mr. Hurley departed from our ranks in 1918, in order that he might do his share in the greatest debate of modern times-that of Democracy vs. Autocracy. We lost in him a power in logic and eloquence. The second debate in 1917 took place at Washington, D. C. Holy Cross was represented by Messrs. Foran, Breen and Harold Colgan, now a very important and invaluable member of the United States Investigation Commission on Profiteering. George- town was our opponent in this debate. In 1918, Brown and Georgetown were defeated in Fenwick Hall. The Class of 1920 was represented by Messrs. John Jacobs, P. Breen, L. Foran. The sterling orator from the West, unequalled for his thundering oratory, on both occasions led Holy Cross to an easy triumph. . INTER-CLASS DEBATING ln 1917, a team composed of Messrs. Hurley, Captain, Maurice Splaine and Philip Breen represented 1920. In 1918, Messrs. Jacobs, Captain, Breen and Foran led 1920 to an easy triumph against 1921. In 1919, for the first, the only and last time, 1920 failed to emerge victorious, and the decision was awarded, 'tis true, but by a scant margin, to 1919. The class was nobly represented by Messrs. J. Jacobs, Captain, William White, Arthur O'Leary and T. E. O'Donnell. We are confident that this year can bring only success to Holy Cross and 1920 in debating, and our only wish is, that each and every future class will be capable of living up to the standard set by the class about to graduate. Due to various circumstances, many a member of the class, skilled in oratory, has failed to show his worth, but in a class of so much talent, it is but natural that many have failed to accomplish what would be simple under other circumstances. Page 237 ilanly 033055 Bight 1'he Class of 1920 is justly proud of the Holy Cross Night which Was ob- served on November 10, 1919. We took pride in it particularly because of the unusual success that it Was. After a lapse of two years, due to the War, it might be expected that this great event of the school year would be, more than ever before, a time when Holy Cross Spirit would manifest itself in all its splendor-and, indeed, it was so. We also took pride in it because one of our classmates, George L. Conley, as Chief Marshal, displayed talents rare, genial and unexcelled for such an oc- casion. The Class of 1920, the student body, the Alumni and the Faculty, all are indebted to Mr. Conley for his un- tiring efforts in procuring a splendid corps of speakers from among the Alumni, and for furnishing us with enter- X G.

Sncizty This society, but now in its second year, already visions beauteous promise of even a more highly flavored literary spirit than has yet graced the hill where old Pan piped to the native red man. And this is the purpose of K. K. to develop a taste for the best in litera- ture and the perfecting of conversation and composition on subjects classical and contemporaneous. It acts as a spur to the steed of the fine arts, because admission to the Society demands an original paper worthy of acceptance by the Purple. ' The Constitution provides that only one honorary member be elected each school year-. Joseph J. Reilly, Ph. D., 1 '04, ,Was elected in the Spring of Nine- .L teen. This year Cardinal Mercier, the A. J. OQLEARY, PRES. W world-applauded Prelate- of Belgium, was invited to the folds of the K. K., and his acceptance was quickly re- ceived. The undergraduate members show their dexterity in many lines of college en- deavors, Purple contributors, wearers of the buskin, and debaters herald the K. K. merit. Mr. Raymond J. Mclnnis, S. J., the Moderator of the Purple, continues as Faculty representative, and his kindly, stout assistance is a guarantee for con- tinued success to the coterie. The following undergraduates have, by literary superiority, earned K. K. mem- bership: Arthur J. O'Leary, '20, Timothy F. Daley, '20, J. Robert Clair, '20, Ray- mond J. O'Callaghan, '20, James T. Mahoney, '20, John K. Ryan, '20, Joseph S. Balthrush, '21, John L. Kenney, '21, Joseph P. Keenan, '21, Matthew F. McGuire, '21, James J. Tennyson, '21, Thomas McSorley, '21, F..

The November number of our es- teemed friend is a product of the best in college journalism. The outstanding feature of the issue is, we think, the excellent quality of its poetic contri- butionsfi These are the opening sentences of a criticism extending over three pages in St. Vincentis College fournal, of Beatty, Penn.. for January, 1920. lt is a rep- resentative exchange tribute, the same tone of which runs through all the other sister publications that come to the Purple Sanctum. To base an opinion upon the critical testimony of onels con- temporaries is always trustworthy. We, therefore, think it is safe to affirm, with- Ollt any IOIIC of b03StlI1g, that OUI' J. ROBERT CLAIR, ED1T0R..IN.CH1EF Monthly ranks second to few, if any, in the field of college journalism. This good share, which MTwenty so happily offered, was borne in great part bv our Editor-in-Chief, J. Robert Clair, who was also Editor of Pan-on-Paclcachoczg. The Purple gladly accepted his offerings in Freshman days, and he was soon an associate editor. Since that year, seldom has the college journal appeared without containing at least two of his literary jewels. We feel safe in saying that a more effusive or sweeter singer has not graced the Purple,s pages for many years. His inclusion amid the elect contributors to HThe Poets of the Future, echoes well our praises. Among the H Twenty W men on the staff were R. J. O7Callaghan, Edward A. Dinneen, A. J. O'Leary, Clement V. McGovern, while among the names of contrib- utors may be found those of John K. Ryan, John F. Shea, James T. Mahoney, Philip H. Breen, Thomas F. O'Connor, Myles F. Costello, Francis A. Calligan, Clement C. Maxwell and Thomas E. O,Donnell. ln losing Philip F.. Shaw from our ranks, by enlistment, the Purple suffered a regretable loss. We must not forget to mention our genial Thomas J. Teehan, who greatly aided the business department in his Freshman and Sophomore years. Again let us say that 'G Twenty is justly proud of her literary men who, by their sincere and praiseworthy efforts, have done so much to place The Purple in her enviable and deserving place-far in the van of a myriad, and motley army of college publications. Page 243 x Page 244 ,..- .-+, I w P i r 5 1 r I I 4 4 G 1 4 9t9u5ir Music with all its charms is by no means a stranger on Mt. St. James. A very important event took place, when, under the direction and leadership of Mr. Berchmans Boland, S. J., and Mr. Francis X. Downey, S. J., the combining of the Glee Club and Orchestra was effected. Claiming no Carusos or Paderewskis, still the public were given the opportunity to put their seal of approval upon the talents of the Glee Club and Orchestra, on March 24th, 1918. This special event was given in aid of the Worcester War Chest Fund. The tremendous reception which was accorded to our entertainers, assured all on the Hill, that Holy Cross lived up to her traditions, fragrant with such entertaining features. Accordingly, on April 8, 1918, our promising musicians repeated their past achievement with the same success, at Leicester. Whitinsville was our hostess next, on April 24th, 1918, and we, by our rendering of the masterpieces, continued to charm. Lowell was the first city we visited after our appearance in Worcester. ln aid of the Chaplain's Fund, held under the auspices of the Catholic Women's Club, we once more held up our former success. On May 26, 1918, we made our fare- well appearance of the year in New Bedford. This concert, needless to say, met with the same successf Thus we closed a most successful year. However, during the fall of the following year, the evening dress was supplanted by the khaki and the blue. But the signing of the Armistice brought back the wearers of the hob-nails and the bell bottoms to Alma Mater. So we were all gathered once again on the Hill 'of Pleasant Springs, and Severe Winters. Mr. Berchmans Boland, S. J., who instructed and directed these gifted youths, is the leading figure in the success and fame attained by our aspiring musicians. Mr. Francis X. Downey, who was the business manager, also comes in for his share of praise. His assistant, George Leo Conley, was worthy of the honor bestowed upon him. A word of praise is also due to Edward S. Murphy, ,20, and Thomas Ryan, '20, for the composition of the H Marching Songf' which was presented by the Class of Nineteen Twenty to the College. George J. Jacob, James F. Mahoney, Edward A. Dinneen, Francis Sylvia, Stanley L. Sullivan, G. Clifton McCormick, John A. Arcari, Timothy F. Daley, Edward J. Comiskey, William T. Connell, James K. Donaghy, Leo F. lVlcAndrews, James J. McCulloch, George M. Fitzpatrick, Joseph C. Genereux, Elbert J. Hawthorne, Joseph L. Kinney, WilliamJ. Maloney, Cyril C. Marrion, Clement V. McGovern, Francis A. Galligan, J. Raymond O,Callaghan, Thomas E. O,Donnell, and Florian J. Ruest represented the Class of Nineteen Twenty in the great success attained by the Glee Club and Orchestra. As we leave the College ,on the Hill which has just passed the fiftieth milestone of her zealous labors, we feel that the Glee Club and Orchestra will meet with the same success which has been established during our four years' stay. Page 246 xo! Smnkzrs ann Banquets Unity is the keynote of success. Upon this principle nations have waxed powerful. Upon this principle has the Class of Nineteen Twenty become a solid entity, with one purpose, the doing of all in its power to make its stay at Holy Cross profitable and pleasant for each and every member of the class. The first get-together event in the history of the class was held at the State Mutual Restaurant on December 12, 1916. With Mr. J. Bresnahan acting as toastmaster, the evening passed pleasantly, a constant round of song, speech and merriment. From the moment that Robert L. Sharkey, the unanimous choice for president of the class in 1916, opened the fireworks, until the finale, the Alma Mater, not one dull moment ensued. Mr. T. O'Donnell, Mr. G. Jacob, the concentrated bundle of wit, Mr. Maurice Splaine, Worcesteris Own, and Thomas Dessie Desmond, the prince of story-tellers, aided materially in making the affair a huge success. Mr. O,Donnell's subject, 44 Our Mentorsf, was one which required a skill and tact seldom found in a freshman speaker, but the handling was in this case so finished that even the Rev. Rector, Fr. Dinand, remarked of it, 'cspeech par excellence. 4' Our Jake if toasted and roasted with equal vigor 64 Womanf, although as far as we can determine, he has never allowed an opportunity to pass by. He never passes.. But best of all, we banquetted regally. A delightful turkey dinner was appreciated by the boys, who thereby showed their foresight, for the World War and other nearer home circumstances have never permitted the class to really dine. Question No. 1: Why is Arakel a defender of the Order of Jesuits? We had no banquet Sophomore year, for the class decided that at such a time of need for the nation such an action would be unpatriotic. Other circumstances prevented Mr. Jacob from showing his ability as a toastlnaster, for a scheduled Junior year banquet was called off. Although the absence of a banquet was felt during Sophomore and Junior years, a very fine substitute was had in annual smokers. On February 17, 1918, the Class of Twenty held their first Smoker. President Tim Daley welcomed the class, enjoining them to get together. Throughout his address he lived up to all the fondest predictions of his most sanguinary and ardent admirers. Speeches by James Donoghue, John Howe, George Hogan and John Jacobs were received with tense rapture. Added color was superinduced by Florian Ruest's solo and the Symphony Six, Jerry Whitney, George Fitzpatrick, J. Legrand Bell, Joseph Rogers and J. Kinney in a 4'Rollicking Ramblegi' a sketch by Paul Lyons and John Kennedy, followed. Rapid fire exchanges of witticisms kept the audience in continuous laughter. The terpsichorean art was represented, and quite aesthetically, by Messrs. E. Keefe and C. L. Ryan. H Scissors, a sketch written by Messrs. O,Donnell and J. R. Clair, was the hit of the evening, in fact was so good that by special request of the faculty, it was placed on Holy Cross Page 248 Q a LEIQGNVH NVNHSHHJ Page 249 SIUURZI35 ann ZBHIIQLIZIS fC01ZZLf7Z'llUdD Night program as the feature event. The cast included Messrs. O'Donnell, Clair, J. Jacobs, W. Monahan and J. C. Magner. Mr. R. J. O'Callaghan carried out his duties as toastmaster nobly. Washington Club, Lake Quinsigamond, May 25, 1919, found M Twenty a merry crowd. The best time in the three years was had by the class, at least many so judged it, and recent events have made it a certainty that a better time can never be the fortune of any class to come. Much of the credit is due Mr. John McDonough, the hustling chairman of the arrangements committee. President M. Cavanaugh spoke the words of welcome, and throughout his speech the sincerity and other qualities which he possesses to a remarkable degree, were apparent, a justification of the class' action in making him president for two successive years. Mr. Edward Connors presided as toastmaster, and was the surprise of the evening. His sober mien but equally humorous speech aided greatly in making the evening a success. William White and J. Cletus Magner were present and imparted much of the air of gaiety by their well-timed speeches. The George Fitzpatrick gl Jacob charmed us with their respective tenors, parlor and -. T. O'Donnell carolled to us sweetly about our future relations with our sassiety college hillites. The quartet, Jake, T. 0'D., McGovern, J. Mahoney, together with a violin solo by Frank Sylvia, rounded out the eveningis program. On Halloweien evening, 1919, a reception was held by Nineteen Twenty in honor of Twenty-Three. H Twenty 7, Minstrels entertained the new-comers, all of whom voted the affair simply marvelous. Prominent in the cast were M. P. Cavanaugh, G. Jacob, T. E. O7Donnell, George L. Ryan, Arthur J. O'Leary, J. C. Magner and W. White. Much of the credit for the success is due to Mr. John McDonough, who, incidentally, is the only one in the history of the school who ever enjoyed the unique honor of being chairman of arrangements for two successive years. THE PATCHER will go to print before any other event is held by the class, but we can rest assured that any affair by U Twenty 7' cannot be anything but a huge success.

Fideli gubernatrici, ln certam proram, rege Words by Clement G. Maxwell, '20, Slaenhel Cfflluh The Mendel Club began its fourth and in many respects its most successful year last September, with the Class of Nine- teen Twenty guiding its destinies. The Mendel Club is a scientific and fraternal organization of not only undergradu- ates, who have manifested their interest in biology, but also of alumni, who are either at medical school or who have already engaged in the medical or dental professions. The club now numbers among its alumni members many renowned surgeons and practitioners who have attained an enviable reputa- tion in the medical world. The interest and enthusiasm of the club members during the past year has been very marked. The year began with L Raymond S. Keefe as President of the club. ln his inaugural address, he out- lined the jplans for the year, which included a smoker and an entertainment to prospective junior members, a series of instructive lectures by alumni and undergraduate club members, the publication of the H Mendel Club Bulletin, and also a reception and reunion of all members-alumni and undergraduate- at the college in June. Mr. John A. Frisch, S. J., is the Moderator, whose kindly assistance continues to be ever bountiful. R. S. KEEFE, PRES. The other officers of the club are: Vice President, John W. Spellmang Secretary, Joseph H. Groarkg Treasurer, Maurice F. O,Brieng Sergeant-at-Arms, B. Joseph O,Grady. The following club members contributedigenerously of their time to the prepara- tions of lectures, which were not only scholarly and extremely interesting, but also were an entertainment: Leo F. McAndrews, William C. McNamee, Christopher E. Dwyer, James P. Gilligan, Robert J. Ruane, Stanley L. Sullivan, George A. Garvey, Florian C. Ruest, Anthony C. Mitchell, Dermod C. Flynn and Edward S. Murphy. The Mendel Club has prospered and has accomplished an unprecedented and unexpected number of successes the past year. Who will say that this is not due in a very great degree to the inspiration of the Moderator, Mr. John A. Frisch, S. J., and also to the spirit of enthusiasm and the earnest work whichchas ever been characteristic of all the various activities to which the members of the Class of Nineteen Twenty have turned their attention? Page 252 Btientific Qntiztg A The Scientific Society of Holy Cross College, after a lull in its activities, due to the war conditions, was reorganized in the fall of 1919, with Mr. C. C. Mc- Cormick as President and Mr. Thomas O'Connor as Secretary. The other officers were Mr. Thomas Malumphy, '21, and Mr. Timothy O,Connor, 721, Treasurer. . Through the efforts of Mr. McCor- mick the Society had the unusual oppor- tunity of listening to a series of lectures upon the Manufacture of Iron and Steel A by Mr. V. E. Hillman, Notre Dame, 709, who is at present Chief Chemist and Metallurgist at the Crompton 81 Knowles Loom Works, Worcester, Mass. The subject was treated in detail, from the .Y mining of the ore to the study of the G. C. MCCORMICK, PRES. microscopic structure of the finished steel. Papers on the various physical aspects were delivered by members of the Society, and among them the following were by members of the Class of Twenty: The Principles of Metallography, G. C. McCormick, The Annealing of Steel, C. C. Marriong Chemical Reactions of the Blast Furnace, W. C. McNameeg Detection of Flaws in Steel by Magnetic Methods, M. F. O'Brien, Pressed Steel, T. J. 0'Connor, Some Applications of Physical Laboratory Methods to Metallurgy, E. F. Trainorg Steels and Their Physical Properties, T. J. O'Learyg Applications of Mechanics to Steel Tests, J. J. Brady, Cast Iron vs. Cast Steel, E. S. Goodwin. ' The papers and lectures were supplemented by tours of the American Steel and Wire Works, where the process from the charging of the open-hearth furnaces to the drawing of the steel wire could be seen in detail. Later, through the courtesy of the Crompton X Knowles management, the Society was privileged to study the various testing apparatus of the-Physical Properties of different steels, in the laboratories of their plant. An opportunity was also had of visiting the labora- tories of the Wyman-Cordon Co., in Worcester, where the heat treatment of steel has been highly developed. Moving pictures, exhibiting the various uses of steel were obtained through the efforts of the moderator, Mr. D. P. Mahoney, S. J., from the Bureau of Economics. The thanks of the Society for the series of interesting and profitable meetings was voted to the President for his constant activity, to Mr. Hillman for his gener- osity and to the Moderator for his encouragement and cooperation throughout the year.

Page 254 mhz jmfus Smitty The name of the society signifies a - connecting link between the Senior Class and the alumni. This link has been moulded and shaped by the Class of Nineteen Twenty, it remains for our successors to weld and temper it. This living bond owes its origin to the worthy Moderator of the Society, Rev. John X. Pyne, S. J. His desire for the advance- ment of Holy Cross men experienced a great discouragement when be saw the number of promising young men drift- ing like a ship without a sail upon the sea of business opportunity. He knew that the body of the Alumni was strong and that the spirit was willing. He saw the necessity for the aid and advice of the older brothers, it was the wind which could blow the wanderers safely into port. F. RUSSELL Rosa It is to his inspiration and guidance we owe the Nexus Society. The possibilities of the society are indeed a rich heritage we leave to our successors. lts foundation, built upon the spirit of brotherly love, of lending a helping hand to our struggling neighbor, is one of solid rock. The structure erected upon it will be a living monument to the Class of Nineteen Twenty. ' The first year of the organization of the society has indeed been a successful one. Distinguished members of the alumni, prominent in the business and profes- sional life, have sacrificed their time and energy to deliver lectures to the society. Many of the seeds of advice they sowed fell upon fertile ground and will bear fruit one hundred fold. The society has communicated with many of the alumni, and received in many instances not only advice but material aid in obtaining suitable positions for its members. The society in its infancy is sending into the world the men of Nineteen Twenty, devoted in their love to Alma lVlaterg eager in the practice of charity, determined that they will be ever watchful for the welfare of fellow members, that they will contribute to the advancement of their brothers, all to the greater glory of dear old Holy Cross.
