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
