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

A I ' . J W if 1 1' l L' fig: .ly , ,F D Page six GEORGE M. BAGGE George is the kind of fellow who fears neither man nor beast. To fool with him, one has to be pretty tough because George is not exactly what is known as a sissy. He has been in Coyle's backheld for the past two years, holding down the quarterback position. Besides being an athlete, he is also a scholar of some renown: his dramatic abilites are well known: and he possesses a pleasing baritone voice. just what the future holds for George, it is not easy to say: one can hardly picture him writing poetry for a living. ,IOHN F. HOGAN John, better known as Shanty , Hogan claims Fall River as his hometown. While at Coyle, Shanty displayed all sorts of ability as hash slinger, and ball slinger, the latter propen- sity making itself known on the basketball court. As an actor, John almost stole the show when he did the butler role in the Dramatic Club's presentation, lt Won't Be Long Now. Despite this rapid success, he does not intend seeking his fame or fortune on either the stage or screen, at present he is employ- ed by Western Union of Fall River. Providence College is his goal. WALTER B. HOGAN Unca Walt Hogan stands out as one of the popular seniors. Unlike many of his taciturn classmates. Walt believed that a little blatancy aided greatly in shaking down the mental cob- webs. This particular proclivity proved a boon to Walter. and won him many friends. Walt won his athletic laurels as a gridsterg when Sparkes was laid off last fall. Walt did a good job at center. We're still guessing as to what Walt intends doing after graduation, but here's a bowl full of punch to his health and happiness hereafter. .JOSEPH J. SULLIVAN If loquacity were a virtue, joe would be poorly off. Since it isn't, we may proceed to state that Joe's three outstanding qualities as a Coyle man are: unobtrusiveness, affability, and efficiency. While he did not participate regularly in any school activity, he was always present to assist in whatever work there may have been entailed in the interest of school activities. joe is the only member of this year's class to hail from New Bedford. If plans fall out correctly. Joe will matri- culate at Notre Dame next September.

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.
