E 'V f 1 Page len . EDWARD J. DONNELLY The outstanding social lion of the year: Ned Donnelly. If ogles and glances were a criterion of fame, then Ned would sit high atop the pinnacle of Coyle's Hall. As a member of the football and basketball forces, Ned contributed much to any success that may have accrued to them during the last two years. His size, alone, prevented him from attaining absolute stardom. As associate editor on the Review he maintained a good standard of ability in his column: Hall of Fame. just now it is not known just where Ned intends taking up his career. JOSEPH F. lVlcAi.ooN joe belongs to the group of quiet lads of which the Senior Class seems to have an unusual number: however, his paucity of words is not indicative of indolence. On the contrary, besides being an excellent scholar and orator. he adds inter-class basketball. acting, and plenty of school spirit to his long list of achievements. Joe is one of the student athletic mana- gers, and in that capacity demonstrates in a tangible way what Coyle spirit means. To show in some way their appreciation for his work, both as a student and as a gentleman, his class conferred on him the honor of Commencement orator. The future still holds secrets for joe. BERNARD F1TzPATR1cK Fitz is the Class's most promising litterateur. His unusual ability as a sports writer has rendered him the position of sports editor for the Coyle publication. In like capacity is he employed by the local newspaper. The Senior class en- trusts him with whatever monies it might have by having him act as class treasurer. If everything turns out according to his present plans, Fitz will make his September hejira either to Notre Dame. or Annapolis Academy. As Class Valedic- torian he should have many interesting things to say. WILLIAM C. MCKENNY The herring will repeat their gymnastics all over again up at East Taunton when native son, Willie comes marching home with a high school diploma. Though not at all interested in setting the world afire, Bill nevertheless derives a huge amount of pleasure from life: his stay at Coyle in no way prevented this propensity, for Bill could smile even on a rainy day in Taunton. just where Bill intends striking out for after he unloads his diploma at East Taunton is not yet certain. We suspect that many a despairing motorist will pay tribute to him at the lVlcKenny garage in East Taunton.

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

EDWARD F. DONAHUE Edward F. Donahue. Remember this name because you will have occasion to hear it again many times in the future. Ed is unquestionably the most versatile member of the Senior Class. Here are a few of his achievements: twice president of his class: varsity third baseman for two years: winner of 1935 oratorical contest: Coyle's representative at the New England Catholic High School Oratorical Contest: member of the honor club for two yearsg editor-in-chief of the Coyle Reviewn: participant in both Dramatic Club offerings for this year. Eddie will trek off next September for either Notre Dame or Holy Cross. RAYMOND l..OVENBURY Fall River looks upon Ray as her native son: and a good reason why: he peddled all the local news to the Fall River publicity bureau. Of course, in doing this he had the welfare of his school at heart. He is alert, ambitious, ready to lend a helping hand to friend or foe. Many more things could be added concerning Fall River's Raymond, but the space alloted here does not permit of lengthy' panegyrizing. There is a possi- bility that Ray intends taking up where Rice, Broun, or Win- chell leave off. We wish him all success. JOHN T. LANE Though reticent by nature, John is a zealous chap, not afraid to try his hand at anything: his indomitable spirit won him a berth on the Coyle baseball team, as second-string catcher. His class marks attest his intellectual striving. His good nature has made him many friends. At the present we are not in a position to say what will engage John's time and talents in the coming years. Nevertheless, here's a toast to him. JOHN MCCARTHY John is a tower of strength: yet his modesty and reserve are in equal proportion to his physical prowess. Despite these latter qualities, his teammates were able to find out enough about him to realize that he was the logical man for leader on the gridiron: and this, he was. However, he did not allow athletics nor honors to stand in the way of scholastic pro- gress: always was he a worker at his studies. ln bidding fare- well to john, his friends remaining at Coyle, will be losing a Fine leader. an ardent scholar. ,lohn's plans for the future have not yet reached us.
