COYNE JAMES M. CRONIN IIBERNIEH is a quiet chap. His entrance to the Mount two years ago was rather providential. Since then we have had an ardent and enthusiastic support- er of all sports. One need not be an athelete to dis- play school spirit and this Bernie has demonstrated by his whole-hearted support of student activities. History and mathematics appeal mostly to him and although his future is yet undecided, we are sure he will make his mark in whatever occupation he may choose as his lifework. Bernie's high standing in class and natural studious demeanor denote a serious character whose only aim is true success. IN FEBRUARY of 1931, a quiet young man entered the Mount and in a very short space of time was classified as a close friend of all. He it was who gave us a fuller understanding of that old saying, Smile and the world smiles with you. Daily Jim's smile sent the students happily off to their studies. A great lover of the outdoors and interested in mechan- ics, this young fellow combines both avocations on a Saturday by breathing in country air while tinkering with his antediluvian Pontiac. After graduation Jim hopes to become a flying cadet and in due time win those coveted wings of the Army Air Corps. Happy landings, Jim! BERNARD J. COYNE E Bernie 2 sodalrify 3, 4. E E E 2 JAMES M.

Columbia Page twenty-four WILLIAM J. CHRISTOPHER MATTHEW F. CHARDE SHORT, fair hair, blue eyes, a smiling countenance -in short, Matt has been with us for his Whole high school course. A practical joker, he has afforded his classmates many happy moments by pointed quips and happy humor. In Freshman and Sophomore years, Matt proudly attended to his duties as assistant manager of the football teams. In third year he be- came affiliated with the O'Conne1l boy, other half of the Mutt and J eff team, and the close friendship has lasted to this day. Though small in size, Matt is big of heart, always ready to give a helping hand to him who needs it. From Mount St. Michael he will go to Manhattan to pursue a business course. We hope the high stool will in time give place to the banker's chair. WCHRISN hails from Lawrence, Mass., the place where football players are made. He became popular with the whole student body shortly after his arrival because of his jovial character and prowess on the gridiron. Whoever got in the way of Chris' straight arm had something to talk about after the game, even if he was a deaf-mute. The way he direct- ed plays from his position at quarter-back earned for him a place on the city All Star team for Private High Schools. Friendly towards all, he soon became ac- quainted with friends of his friends so that he did not long feel the results of migration. 'Tis said he even writes occasionally to some Westchester town. Columbia is the college where Chris will study busi- ness and play football. We expect to hear big things of him in both these activities.

DOOLEY JOHN entered the Mount in '31, A ready mixer, he soon made friends with all those with Whom he came into contact. As a writer he realized the high literary standards attainable at Mount St. Michael. During his stay here John showed his ability as a scholar and an athlete. In the latter field he Was prominent on the basketball court and baseball dia- mond. Much of the pitching duty was carried by him during the season of '33. His ready smile and humor have rendered him very popular with all of us. John expects to continue acquiring school knowledge at Manhattan College, and we are sure that his efforts will be crowned with success. TIMIDLY examining the new school he had just en- tered, back in '31, John calmly and seriously came to the conclusion that the Mount was the place he had been looking for. He was very quiet, and slow at get- ting acquainted. As his shyness wore off, the number of his friends increased at a surprising rate. He has shown his loyalty to his school by the active part he took in all student activities. On the Cross Country and Track teams, John showed his grit and determina- tion. In Senior year he made the Varsity Basketball team. Here he gave several fine performances by his calmness and deadly accuracy. Deacon , so named because of his non-excitable nature, has heard the Master's call and will study for the Priesthood. He leaves with our best wishes for a fruitful career.
