THOMAS WILLIAM CORBETT NEW IIAVEN CONN. Y Tom', Leader of Mandolin C'lnbC3bC4b Sec. of Gaston Debating Soc. CZJ Cllee Club Orchestra CZJCSBC-U I'hilodemie Society C33 C-lj Manager of llasehall C45 Prefect of Sodality C4 President of Glee Club C-U Director of Orchestra C-U During the first two years Tom led somewhat of a quiet and secluded life and wrapped himself in an air of mystery. It was not until this year that the mystery was unfolded and by the responsibilities and trusts that Tom is carrying so successfully it is apparent that these first years were spent in laying a solid foundation which is the corner stone of his success, Tom's propensity for adding a few days on to the end of each vacation is well known, and Dame Rumoru hath it that the ivy-covered walls of New Haven hold a peculiar fascination for the young man. JAMES D. CUNNINGHAM HOLYOKE, Mass. jimmy Varsity Baseball C25 C35 C45 All joking aside though, Jim can catch anything from Art Reynolds' fast one to the dark road lead- ing into E. Milnoceket. jim hits them, too. Aside from those accomplishments, jim is the leader of the Collier Harmony Hounds, on whose account many moments of peaceful slumber have been disturbed. To make a long story short, we have learned from a correspondent of the Associated Press, that in the future Jim will spend his time between baseball and his law office. WILLIAM H. DALY LAWRENCE, Mass. Bill Charley Managing Editor of H0ya C3D Chairman nf Banquet Com. CSD Philodemic Debating C35 C41 lfditor-in'Cl1ief of Hoyal' C43 Class Baseball C25 C35 Domesday Hooks Staff C45 Along in the fall of 1920, while prospects of a championship football team were in view, there stole into our midst a young man who was leaving Chest- nut Hill to continue his course of studies on the banks of the Potomac, and soon manifested his ability as a reporter on the t'Hoya', Staff. His rise to Editor-in-Chief is a matter of history and was a deserving tribute to his labor and sacrifice. But lest one gain the impression that his activities consisted of indoor sports, get Bill to tell you of the time when acting as the star hurler for 1923 he grooved one for his room mate.

CHARLES JOSEPH CONIFF VVHEELING, VV. VA. Bony f'Charlie', Manager Varsity Football C45 White Debating Society 415423 Class llaseball CD CZJ C31 C-U Class Basketball CID C21 C37 If one should ask how many bricks in the Healy building, and you are ignorant of the exact number, ask Charlie and he will tell you. Anything pertain- ing to Georgetown, Charlie knows, for in eight years of servitude you are bound to learn much. The only thing he isn't quite sure of is the altitude record in the Demerit Flight event open to all-liberal handi- caps. For although after many years of practice and privation in trying to break the bonds of Morpheus, Charlie finds them most overpowering. Much has been said about the time when the Sphinx will speak. He is the possessor of humor the aridness of which makes the Sahara a bounding main in comparison. FRANCIS JOHN CONWAY DETROIT, MICHIGAN Frank', White Debating Society C11 C23 Philonomosian Debating Society C31 C45 Student Council C53 Class Treasurer C35 Junior Prom Committee C35 A survivor. One of the original entrants. One who has lived through natural selection, sur- vival of the Fittest, arrival of the Heetest. But this lad fro11I the city of pinion gears has not conze through without the marks of a struggle with the paternal dis- cipline. Frank has not left the imprint of his spikes upon the diamond or track, nor has he spilled his gore upon the gridiron, but as for tripping the light fantastic in and about the 'fRose and Oak rooms of Washington-well, now, thatls his game. We abhor predictions and prophecies, but we know that in a short time the famous Fairbank slogan will be changed to Have you a Regent stove in your home. JOHN PATRICK COONEY, JR. HI.lN'l'SVILLE ALA. 5 Pete Member Publicity lTurcauC4J lintered from Spring Hill CollegeC3j Another added entrant, but this one from the cloistcred retreats of Spring l'lill. Pete spent the years of his adolescence i1I a place where the dis- cipline was more rigorous than the paternal atmos- phere of Georgetown. Bearing the earmarks and appearance of a sagacious man, Pete maintained his equilibrium by achieving success, socially and scho- lastically, especially in the art of terpsichore where the lightfootedness of his Southern ancestors C21l1lC to the fore. ,f

GEORGE MANSFIELD DEE LYNN, MAss. Manse White Debating Society C15 Freshman Smoker Committee C15 Track Squad C15 Class Baseball Team C25 C35 Class Football Team C15 C25 Senior Prom Committee C45 All you people 'Zt1l0, pan the damfiizg mastersi' livery class must have its Chesterfield, It is well for every class to have a Chesterfield as long as it is mild but satisfying. t'Really quite a remarkable fel- low. George is usually seen in person or in image, in the front line of national society, occupying the diplomatic roll of social ambassador of the Three Musketeers whose names became foremost among us as occupants of the Lace Room and proprietors of the Pool Room. Say, man, that's my game. WILLIAM JOSEPH FAHEY KINGSTON, PENNA. Bill, Valparaiso Univ. CLaw5 C15 U. S. Army 1917-1919 lloly Cross College C25 C35 Georgetown CLaw '24, Arts '235C45 Pennsylvania Law Club Providence must have thought we needed more sagacity in our midst. Thus we account for Bill's arrival during our last year. A man of wide and diversifled experience, having studied in the west and north before coming to Washington and Georgetown. A short glance over his record shows his attainments and these we must pass without comment for we cannot add to them. It has been our pleasure to know him, to have been associated with him and to say we have gained is hardly sufficient. THOMAS F. FITZGERALD, JR. DORCHESTER, Mass.

C15 C25 C35 C45 Student Council C45 VVhile it isn't necessary that a soldier be a runner, it really doesn't do any harm. If Tom were greedy he would deprive Burton Holmes of his protection from the hungry wolves of bed-time stories. Be- ginning at that prep school that has made the Granite State famous, Exeter, he went to France. Many a time and oft in the Quad, with chair legs to right of him, brickbats to left of him, water buckets before him, he has not only borrowed the ears of the multi- tude, but taken them as his permanent possession, by force of his oratory. A true son of the Athens of America, the Hub of the universe, we have not the slightest particle of doubt that Tom will run a 4.17 mile on the track of success and break the tape.
