The White and Blue of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Four Daniel Joseph Collins “DAN” “DEEDY” “PRES” “Well, Honor is the subject of my story.” “An abridgment of all that ivas pleasant in man.” Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Dramatics 1, 2, 3, 4. President of A. A. 4. Vice-President 3. A. A. Reception Committee 1, 2, 3, 4. Varsity Shop Committee 2, 3, 4. Class Football Team 2, 3, 4. F YOU want to meet the best that we have, here is “Deedy,” the most popular man in ’24. To enumerate Dan’s qualifications would fill a year book of his own. An honor man in the class room, he was also the versatile, practical genius of the class and the all around athlete that helped ’24 to sweep aside her interclass opponents. Two years as leader of the Athletic Association would have been enough work for any other man, hut Dan is an exception. Let either his Alma Mater or his class have called for volunteers in work that required talent and Dan was first on the list. A born leader and a gentleman in his every action, Dan is a rarity of the kind that you like to keep when you can find them — hut try to find them. Any qualities not found in Danny must he put down as faults, for he has perfectly combined all the elements of ability plus personality that spell success. Four years we have delighted in and profited from his presence, and during those four years he has been our model for culture, studies, and everything worth while. Many of our fondest recollections in class and outside the halls are centred about you, Dan, and you will remain with us just as long as those memories are retained — forever . To wish success to a man of your calibre is like forecasting the inevitable. A wistful, vest-pocket edition of optimism, true blooded sportsmanship, wisdom and wit, you go forth “Deedy” — a real son of a real college. 10

The White and Blue of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Four James Michael Coyle “RED” “JIMMIE” “In arguing too, James owned his skill For even tho’ vanquish’d he would argue still.” Dramatics 1, 2, 3, 4. Class Football 2, 3. Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Varsity Shop Committee 3, 4. Manager of Basketball 3. Chairman of A. A. Reception Committee 4. Trustee of Setonia Club 4. HE indomitable James has always been a prominent character at Seton Hall. His talents were representative of the activities that contributed to the fame of ’24. Aggressive in argumentation, his voice frequently thundered at class meetings, pertinaciously insisting that difficult tasks could be accomplished which would redound to the glory of the class. Holding the managerial reins of the varsity basketball squad of ’23, he directed their athletic achievements to a fame which will forever ring within the walls of “Old Setonia.” In spite of the fact that outside the class room much of his time was taken up with work pertaining to the social and athletic activities of Seton Hall, “Red” never lost sight of the fact that he had an obligation to perform in the class room. He was continually exerting an effort in the interest of Setonia, to such an extent that he was very often forced to sacrifice much of his free time in order that he might not neglect his studies. Your classmates bid you adios, “Jimmie,” with a sincere wish that you will achieve success commensurate with the earnestness and determination which you manifested in all your efforts. 11
