MR. WILLIAM CAWLEY Quiet, businesslike, Mr. Cawley is a new-comer to our campus this year, and already he has succeeded in making his classes enjoyable ones. His capable handling of Math and the Sciences has established him as a fine teacher. Despite the fact that he is easy-giving and good natured, all his piupils respect him and give him their perfect attention. Always trying to invoke a little humor ’into the classroom, he has found that this is one of the best ways to keep the pupils from growing tired of the routine study. A parish boy, he graduated from our school with honors. He entered the N. R. O. T. C. and graduated from Harvard. After his graduation he served as communications officer on a ship in the South Pacific. While he was a student at Malden Catholic, he was drum major and assistant instructor of the Cadets. During the past Fall, he aided Mr. Fannon by giving the boys their daily calisthenics. This proved to be a great aid to Mr. Fannon, as he was very busy rushing to keep his eye on 110 candidates.

MR. FRANK HILL Mr. Hill, one of our new lay teachers, by his quiet infectious laugh has succeeded in quickly winning the friendship and co-operation of all his pupils. A graduate of Boston College, he comes to us after having spent three years in military service,. Two of these were spent with the Fifth Army in Europe. Both the fact that he is a recent graduate of Boston College and the fact that he served for ten months as an .Army instructor enables him to easily win the confidence of the boys he deals with. Helping him on his journey from North Andover each day is a Studebaker which has frequently proven unreliable. Completely natural at all times, he could frequently be found, during the Fall, lolling about the club house, talking and joking with the boys. Quite an athlete in his own right, his assistance has proven invaluable to Mr. Fannon as a line coach of the Junior Varsity football team. Under his supervision, the first J.V. baseball team has also been added to the many extracurricular activities now existing at Malden Catholic.

MR. RICHARD FANNON That amiable, middle-aged man with the sheaf of papers under his arm is Mr. Fannon. Despite the fact that he resides in Jamaica Plain, he can always be found cheering the boys on at any athletic contest. Through the years of experience he has had, in dealing with boys, he has acquired the gift of having his pupils thoroughly enjoy themselves in class at the same time they are learning something. Mr. Fannon not only enlightens the class with his keen knowledge of history but he likewise shortens the day by his sparkling humor. In the Fall Mr. Fannon devoted himself to teaching freshmen and sopho¬ mores the fundamentals of football. His success as a coach of the Junior Varsity is shown by the success his players have when they join the varsity. With Spring in the air, Mr. Fannon is preparing to get the baseball team into condition. The improvement of the baseball team since his arrival is a fitting tribute to his coaching ability.
