PETER CORNELIUS COUGHLIN ATHER, do you think that proof is very clear, Father?” Thus does our doughty representative from Locust Point claim for the less brilliant philosophers in our midst a better understanding of a thesis, since we know from Peter’s bi-weekly marks that the difficulty is not his own. Next to philosophy the scene of Pete’s best endeavors is the chemistry laboratory where his unique tests for cobalt and nickel will always remain the awe of less expert manipulators. In biology too, the professor owns his skill, for even though his attempt to Burbankize into oysters a means of defense in the form of stingers has not met with complete success, he is able to report progress due to an intimate study of that unhappy shellfish’s natural enemy, asterias rubens. Though Pete is not forced to wrestle with the dictums of Aristotle, Aquinas and Augustine, we have heard that his title of Boy Wrestler is not an empty one. As guard on the basketball team, Pete made himself valuable at a time when he was sorely needed. At putting the shot he is no novice having won several medals and being the college’s only representative in this sport for a time. Pete un- doubtedly is one of the best tennis players the college has produced in the last two years, never losing a singles set and at one time turning in the only victory for his team. Pete is a very deter- mined person, as the fact that he is the only mem- ber of his section of second high to graduate will testify. We can safely predict in consideration of this determination of Peter’s that he will make a successful member in whatever walk of life he will enter. 27

THOMAS PATRICK DOUGHNEY OME people are born great, others achieve greatness, others have greatness thrust upon them. But when it comes to wit, Tom must have been born great for he could not have acquired it in such a short time, though he is a descendant of the most humorous race. Even in earlier days Tom was always known for his ever ready humorous answers and witty remarks. Again when things were dull “Our Boy” would always be on hand with one of his famous jokes. Tom is the idol of the Freshmen and often one sees him “handing out” fatherly advice to the yearlings. The embryo doctor seems to be training him- self for years to come when he (as a M. D.) will give medical advice to his patients. Atta Boy, Tom, get an early start. In the class-room, “The Boy”, ranks among the leaders. As a philosopher, he stands on a level with Aristotle and the rest of the great masters. Moreover, it is rumored, that he can dissolve twenty- five pages of the intellectual food in his great mind in at least two hours. How does he do it? Patrick is also an enthusiastic ath- lete. Swimming claims most of his spare moments. On many afternoons he can be found at Patterson or some other note worthy pool, swimming in actually six feet of water. He is also a frequent visitor at the Maryland Swimming Club. But on these visits a certain somebody always accompanies him. Sh — Tom has a canoe. Every class has its own politician and Tommy is our solitary boast. Great things are reported to be in store for him in the political world. But Pat’s place is in the hospital, where his winsome smile can do good to those who need his assistance. Good luck, Tom, old boy, we wish you success in your undertaking, for we all agree that the medical profession will receive a worthy student. 29
