SENIOR CLASS John J. Boyd Class Football, 2; Vigilance Committee President, 2; Debating, 1-2; Social Science Club; Sophomore Dance Committee; Sodality, 2. The battle is over, the smoke has cleared, the din and furor have ceased, and John, better known as “Major,” has gained another victory on the scholastic field. John, let us assure you, is a scholar of repute and a depthless well of infor- mation. Long and lanky, he ea ily fortifies his distinction of being the tallest man in the class. To list John’s interest in this thing called life is to call upon Webster for words with which to paint them. The history of the Civil War runs with an easy nimbleness through his mind. The quaint by-ways of Baltimore are friends to his rambling and the philosophy is his mental play- ground. March on, Major, your ability should simplify your progress. Richard M. Carlin Debating, 1-4; Sodality, 1-2-3-4; Chemists’ Club, 2; History Academy, 2,-3; Social Science Club, 4; June Week Committee, 4; Junior Prom Committee; Greyhound, 4; “Green and Gray,” 4. Richard is one who is endowed with scholastic ability and the rare gift of a bubbling sense of good humor. Dick believes in burning the mid- night oil and sailing the galley of knowledge deep into the morning hours. Those of his asso- ciates who were with him in high school days have cause to remember the eloquence of his re- citals. A scholar and an orator is Dick, and his deep, rolling voice has a richness all his own. His customary and habitual expression is, “Oh, yea,” and he says it with a forceful vividness that does not mince its meaning. In the “chem. lab.” our lives were often jeopardized by violent explosions and effusions of chlorine gas that originated from his hood. His ability as a writer i ; known and va ' ued by the staff of the Grey- hound. We sincerely hope the Fates decree suc- cess his lot and grant him full measure of hap- piness. 28
