He is, without doubt, the quietest boy leaving Coyle this year. It is a well known fact that a pleasant, re- tiring young fellow is always an asset to any organizationg this may account for Bizz's popularity around the school. While he did not engage in any major activities at school, he aided the Senior Class to win the inter-class title in basket- ball. The Fates have not made known what Herman's future will be. Bon chance, Herman! Our best wishes go with you. JOSEPH A. BIRD Joe is the foremost humorist in the Senior Class. He is always ready with a gag or pun for every occasion, and the manner in which he puts it over brings forth hilarious outbursts from those present. However, Joe is also athletically inclined, as his two successful years of varsity basketball well attestg his pass-snatching in football is very well known, especially among Coyle opponents. Joe's spirit of good cheer, his amiability, together with a penchant for making tin cans talk, will be sorely missed on the campus next year. JAMES J. GORMAN Jim is the tall, dark, handsome member of the Senior Class. He hails from Bridgewater where he attended the public high school for two years. Jim tops the list of mound artists on the Coyle nine this year: he also helped out the cause in both basketball and football. The school orchestra profits by Jim's abilities in things musicalg he handles a piano with some dexterity, and can pipe a mean note on a bass horn. If the crystal ball is not telling us weird tales, Jim will be piping a high note at Holy Cross College a year hence. CHARLES F. MCKENNY Chuck is, without doubt, one of the most popular fellows at Coyle. Having a ready smile, and the ability to get along with everyone, this carefree fellow is known as an actor, stu- dent, and all around good sport. Chuck was the most outstanding actor in the Dramatic Club during the past two years. Although not a participant in any sport, Charley gave his full support to all of them in a tangible way by his vigorous cheerleading. Nothing definite has been released concern- ing his immediate future. Photography is his hobby.

1 GERARD J. GAMACHE Although the most diminutive member of his Class, jerry looms large as an equestrian of quality. Despite the fact that he weighed only one hundred-thirteen pounds, jerry played at the general's position in several of the Blue and Cold gridiron battles. He has interrupted many a class with his famous guffaw. His smile has the quality that softens hearts however firm may be their purpose. The handwriting on the wall has not yet been deciphered for Jerry: still, we feel confident that he can squirm his way through many a tight place. ROY J. MENARD When Roy came to Coyle he brought with him a kind of in- definable spirit, one which was not bubbling over with en- thusiasm, but one, unflagging, determined, if not ostentatious. Though not active in extracurricular affairs, Roy managed to make friends a-plenty. Certainly his quiet nature will prevent him from becoming embroiled in any great trouble. Nothing definite can we say of Roy's future employmentsg at any rate, here's wishing him luck. CORNELIUS V. LYNCH Blondy first came to us as the opposing fullback in the Somerset game last year. The esteem in which we held him that day became still greater when he joined us later as class- mate. Blondy has participated in all three major sports. and in all three excelled. He has always managed to do well in every activity, mainly because he put every ounce of him- self into it. Now as we consult the augurs for Cornelius' future, we find that Notre Dame will be his stopping-off place September next. DANIEL J. MULHERN In history, Daniel the Prophet was a genial sort of person: leastwise, he won the lions over to his side at a time most oppor- tune to himself. The Senior Class has its Daniel: and while we wouldn't care to have anyone infer that that august body is a den of lions, yet we say unhesitatingly that Daniel Mulhern has won the esteem and respect of everyone in the school. Dan confined his varsity attempts to football where he essayed the linesman's tasks: he helped the Seniors win the inter-class basketball crown. He also is a member of both the Glee Club and Orchestra. Dan may study medicine. Page seven

EDWARD j. HARRAGHY ln listing the brilliant scholars of this year's graduating class, we have no difficulty in finding a ready place for Ed, since he ranges very near the top. Throughout his stay here, his name appeared consistently on the activities list. This year he demonstrated his forensic ability when he took second honors in the school oratorical contest. Though not an outstanding athlete, he gave his all in trying for the football team. He leaves to the school an example which every remaining student might well emulate. May his future enterprises be blessed with success. l GEORGE REILLY The genial Major never found it difficult to secure friends either in or outside the school. Seemingly. he always had the crowd with him-whether he was flipping miraculous shots into the basket, or just performing in a bit of a skit for the lads around. Major took part in a number of the school activi- ties: in football he worked as a linesman, performed well as a center in basketball, and romped in the outfield for the baseball nine. George may return to Coyle next year to further his studies. JAMES V. TONER Fleet of foot, facile of hand, and prolific of mind: that's james V. Toner, Attleboro's contribution to Coyle High. His speed and deception on the football team gained him the rather appropriate cognomen. Buzz . Buzz also starred on the baseball team, doing a creditable job in the field, and excelling at bat. Off the athletic field jim is not wanting in skill, for with a pen or pencil he can do a sketch that would do justice to some professionals. ln the classroom Jim ranked with the best. Holy Cross is Toner's objective for next September. , . ADAM YURGUTIS The old adage, silence is golden , has its personification in staunch Adam: if our first male parent maintained as strict a guard over his tongue as does this twentieth century name- sake, then it's no wonder he lived some nine-hundred years. Our Adam's personality and manner speak far louder and more eloquently than any words can express. Adam, for the most part kept out of extracurricular affairs: however, he did lend the orchestra some support by his trumpet-playing. With his diploma securely tucked under his arm, Adam will trek back to his old farmstead where he intends carrying on the paternal tradition. Page nine
