Scholastic ii-2 James Gallagher If any man will come after me, let him deny himself. James Gallagher was graduated from Phillipsburg Parochial High School in 1935. After leaving school James obtained a position at the Ingersoll Rand Company where he worked with great dilience. He is studying at Saint Joseph's College, Princeton, where he intends to enter the Seminary of the Vincentian Fathers. We are pleased that James has succeeded in attaining his long-desired goal. Do you want to know why he succeeded? Well here are four good reasons: l. He is neat 2. He is mannerly. 3. He is intelligent. 4. He is spiritual. These four reasons would help any boy to succeed in his vocation whether Merchant, Lawyer, Doctor or Priest. WILLIAM KIRGAN FORTY FIVE

1939 Brother Borgia, C. F. X. If you have succeeded in putting one truth into circulation or demolishing one falsehood, y0u'ue done a good days work. Brother Borgia C. F. X., known to his schoolmates and friends in Phillips- burg as Bernard Coley was called by God to serve Him in the spiritual life. After graduation he entered the Christian Brotherhood at the Sacred Heart Novitiatc in Fortress Monroe, Virginia. Brother Borgia will continue studying his schol- astic Work at Catholic University in Washington, D. C. During his school days he was Editor-in-Chief of the Year Book and is credited by his colleagues as doing an immense amount of work to make The Scholastic the success it was that year. To all his underclassmen he was known as the Major Bowes of St. Philip and St. James' School for having sponsored the Amateur Hours which were enjoyed by everyone who heard them. Since he has entered the Holy Life of Christ, we expect him to attain loftier heights, not only by being an assistant operator but to be a great pilot in the squadron of Christ's Army.

1939 Joseph Butchko, Army Flyer Joseph Butchko, a graduate of St. Philip and St. James' High School with the class of '36 is carrying the banner of Parochial High on his long march in the ranks of the United States Army Air Corps. He is now iilling the position of Bombardier at Langly Field, Virginia, and participated in the recent war maneuvers. He has visited the Senior and Junior classes of Sts. Philip and James' High School on several occasions and has given very interesting talks on Army life to the boys. He is most enthusiastic about the work that the United States Government is doing for the youth of the country. Joe as he is better known, inspired many of us with the desire to join the service. The educational and social advantages he particularly emphasized, medical and dental care, as well as good eats. I sincerely hope that some of the Class of '39 will follow the example of Joseph Butchko. JAMES GARNET FORTY SIX Scholastic
