Nichols Secretary President Treasurer Vice-Preisdent The .Junior Class History HE cryptonym which should aptly encompass the awed and wondering conglomeration of eager eyed gossoons awaiting their first class, three years ago, must remain unknown. Suffice to say they were there and waiting for that bell which was to precipitate them on their four year cascade into the hallowed waters of Alumni, Nor did they, sprawled carelessly on sward and sill, realize that they were to elect, as their President and leader, Jack Durkin, and re-elect him during the year to comeg he to be followed by Art Riordon in Junior year. l-low were these rude hopefuls to realize that, standing in their own sibilant gatherings and breathing that some air which they were breathing, were Campbell, McCusker, Bolger, McDevitt, Carney and Riley, each of whom was to achieve glory on the grid? Were these incipient philosophers ta suspect that the elongated form, stretched across a table and two chairs in the cafeteria, was that of Gooley, and those with whom he spoke, Kauffmann, Maher and Nash, who were to vie with their own sturdy limbs against those tapering ones on the cindered path of Track?

Among those who have been so affected predominate the McKees, the Lowerys, Carson, Bolger, Fitzpatrick and the two McFaddens, whose typing keys aided in successful editions of the school's two publications. Those who revealed this annexed culture as thespians included Rock, Bennington, Carr, McDevitt and Jones, while the debating halls reechoed the applause of the astute strategians, Carson and Connor. Nor was this trlennial era of learning a thing without its sun-bright side, for Mullen, Quinn, Pesce and their numerous cohorts were ever present to dispel any dark clouds that seemed to creep into the halls which all have loved so well, Seventy-seven
