THE POWERS THAT BE' '- THE STUDENT COUNCIL .fcatedr Bullock, Shea, Father Mclnnis, Wiles, Lydon .fmndingf W. Gibbons, Heavey, Pickard, O'Shea, Doyle FOURTH YEAR We are now in our last and final year. George Baker, Jimmy Collins and Ed Murphy have joined the Navy. They were all very much part of our lives, they were very much part of St. Sebastian's. More are soon to go. The days in the dining hall class-room are awfully far away now. And they had been happy. The freshman class is a very large one. Fifty boys fill the two freshman class- rooms. There are one hundred and thirty-five boys attending the School. Father Collins was sent to the Catholic University for advanced study. Father Beatty and Father Clifford are new professors, assigned to the freshman class. The School moves again on its way, by this time, its routine way. The traditions are setting. Too bad that study, and hard study, is the traditional way of scholastic success. We have sponsored a play offered by the Tributary Players, in Boston. It was Julius Caesar . The affair was very successful. As the first graduating class, we are in the throes of publishing a yearbook, to be called The Arrow . Already it is assuming noble proportions, in spite of the fact that there will be only ten of us left on graduation day. The Juniors, whom we have fostered, literally, as children, are following in our footsteps very properly. They have held their junior Prom and, strange to say, it was as successful as our own. The football season was most successful. Our team won all its games save the last one, which we lost 7-6 to the Priory School. The departure of Father Collins for the Catholic University created a serious vacancy in the professorial staff. He had not only taught Latin with great success, but had been the Faculty Manager of all our athletic teams. He had supervised our efforts during those earlier days which brought much glory and few victories to the School, as well as more recently when glory and victory were on more intimate terms. But Father Redding took over the Latin with dehnite insistency, and Father Cuffe has proved conclusively that the play can always go on. We are now moving into the second term of our last year at St. Sebastian's Country Day School. We came as boys, approaching a new experience with timidity and yet with great expectations. We are about to leave the School, boys in many ways, and still with hopeful expectations of what life holds in store for us. And whatever that may be, We can assure our loved ones and our friends, that we are better pre- pared for our very uncertain future by the years we have spent in the soldierly arms of St. Sebastian.
