Donald Sulli- van, Moderator. jors, Dr. Durick's words were regarded with the reverential awe that is possible only to those stu- dents of the majestic language while Fr. Sullivan and Prof. Hartnett led scholarly pre-meds to the promised land of wisdom. The nucleus that is St. Michael's had not changed and most of the old Michaelmen breathed a sigh of relief. Under the direction of Fr. Paulin, elections were held and the nnal tally showed that jack Cahill was president, Robert Billups, vice-presi- dent, Frank McMahon, secretary, and john Quin- lan, treasurer. At this time it was announced that a Student Activities Council was to be formed and was to act as the official representative of the student body before the administration. Carl Cof- fey and Tim Evatt were chosen to represent our class and Carl won the distinction of serving as the first president of the council. We grew in wisdom and in stature and ma- tured beyond our years , but many of us felt that we had matured too fast. We looked in the mirror and wondered if Wildroot Cream Oil would do the trick. But even the worry over our thinning thatching couldn't prevent us from en- joying Mickey Crowley's portrayal of The Lady That's Known as Lou in the class play presenta- tion of The Shooting of Dan McGrew . Mickey gained a spot in the all-star cast for his perform- ance. In fact, most of the class was engaged in some sort of activity. Our group, although small in number, was a potent force in every field, whether it be the pursuit of literary achievement through the media of the Lance or the rllirhaelfzzmzg or whether it pertain to the disputation of world af- fairs in the Newman Debating Society, or whether it be the exploring of the mysteries of materia medica in the Biology Club. In all the various academic, social and religious organizations the 49er's showed the way to the multitudinous undergraduates who followed. That spirit was prominently displayed in the N.F.C.C.S. student relief drive that was success- fully conducted under the leadership of Mario Marini. That spirit was typified in another sense by the amazing athletic achievement of St. Wil- liam's Hall in the intramural leagues, this hall being made up for the most part of Q'fi9er's . That spirit was exemplified again in the junior Prom which was presented for the Seniors under the skillful engineering of Dan Alfieri. The dawn of September 22, 1948 broke bright and clear and many were the Michaelmen who leaped from their beds the moment the sun peeped

Manners are at a minimum. The boarding house reach and the stiff-arm are the only means to an end. September shade saw the first of the freshmen off on the beginning of a long boat- ride.
