they seem only yesterday. But today, well, today is Commencement Day. Gazing over the list of our fellow gradu- ates today, we cannot help but grow nostalgic when we read the names of men like Jmimy Worst and Mike Kostynick, and other mem- bers of the football teams that were so in- strumental in bringing excitement to our col- legiate days before the war. Jim ' s single- handed defeat of Duquesne in 1942 will al- ways be cherished by his classmates and all Manhattan fans in general. And then there are the Ciold Dusr twins, Eddie Walsh and Eddie O ' Toole, as typical as any two Irishmen who ever donned the Green and White or strolled the Quadrangle. Captains, respectively, of track and crt)ss- country, Walsh and O ' Toole were constant buoys to our ht)pes of a fifth leg on that I. C. 4-A. trophy. Leo Casey and Johnnie Quigley came back severely handicapped by war in- juries, but with the spirit that has always made Manhattan teams great, chipped right in and ran as never before. There are a lot of other names that are well-known and will be recalled often: peo- ple like Jim Brady and Jim Houlihan, Busi- ness School Lotharios; Malley, Fitzgerald, and Finneran, the publications triumvirate in the Arts School; and Hughes, Barrett, and DeLeo in Engineering. These are the men ever in the fore during their college careers. These are the men who have led so well and welded our conglomerate numbers into what will always be remembered as the Class u( 1947. If it were at all possible to pen a true history of a class, this humble work will have to suffice for ' 47. But it is impossible to even attempt to outline the work of such a group. Hybrid we may be, but the experience and maturity that is ours, we are confident of being able to take our rightful place as an- other preat Manhattan class. 135
