I q'M4ssA0l ARTHUR SHAUN KELLY Little Kell - Niven Football 1, 2, 3, 4 Baseball 1, 2, 3 Basketball 1 Arrow Staff 4 Don't ask for Arthur Kelly if you're looking for Shaun. He's been Shaun , Little Ke1l and Moon to us, but never Arthur . He too was a charter member of St. Sebastian's first class, and his drawling friendly tones caught on with us at once. Far from being the fastest human, and certainly not the most excitable of men, he is ever to be remembered as the good companion , always agreeable and ready to listen to a proposition . His interests are many and varied, encompassing all the fields of competitive sports, the social world and the theatre. As a story- teller he reverts time and time again to the Hyannisport scene where he disports himself for the summer. A flair for poetry manifests itself in his fondness for rhyming phrases and words, while a more fantastic imagination is displayed in his creation of novel sandwich combinations which are not above using potatoes as filler parts. He is undoubtedly blessed with more relatives than any man alive, and this fact, together with the recollection of his hereditary headgear, will be recalled to us often as we reminisce about Kell . No football squad in our history overlooked Shaun's ability and he was likewise successful in making the baseball team. In the latter regard it is safe to say that no practice session was held without Shaun demonstrating his specialty of one-handed catches on long pokes to the outfield. Shaun's future plans include a college course at Georgetown and later a career in the business world. That success will crown his efforts we have no doubt, for his innate ability, coupled with his capacity for making friends, is certain to reap a reward.

Kell Football 3, 4 Arrow Photographic Editor 4 5 The day came. when Leon's native intelligence naturally led him to the portals of St. Sebastian's-. He boldly claimed to represent the finest in Wellesley's social whirl, when properly indoctrinated he came to represent the finest in St. Sebastian's scho- lastic traditions. Big, rangy and a lover of good talk, Leon rapidly bent his back beneath the yoke, and soon turned in one of the best records in the class to which he had belatedly attached himself. Leon was a good footballer, playing in the line at tackle position. He had one great weakness. He hated a cold shower. In fact, he had never tried one, until one fine day Fr. Flanigan, fully clothed, dragged the shrieking Adonis beneath the flow- ing ice Water of the gym showers. Many claimed that Leon did not regain his health for six months. Leon tutored in Latin and French, together with Frank Dermody, under Fr. Mclnnis. It was at this time that Leon learned the manly art of scholastic self- defense. Even though he might have been mastering the magical art of making something out of nothing with Ed Murphy's calling cards until ten P.M., the in- stinct of self-defense saw him at his French and Latin books till midnight. Leon's social instincts led him on occasion toward Natick, where he was known to have been received with friendliness and quiet reserve. Having taken no lessons with Arthur Murray, he was never received at Natick again. Leon intends to be a shoe manufacturer. That he will be successful, we are all sure. A man who fits himself to a size fourteen can always fit anyone else to any- thing. 4 S P- X N , . Q1 . X 1 Q NX

Editor jimmy is another member of the Old Guard who can recall that first class held at St. Sebastian's. Possessed of a quiet but friendly disposition, he grew on us over the period of our four years on the hill and stands today as perhaps the most popular member of the class. His keen mind enables him to take such things as examinations and assignments in unbroken stride, and in the scholastic marathons he is usually crowned with the honor-roll laurel. A ready wit and a glib tongue are also numbered among his assets and they arm him for his dinner and gym disputes with Joe Carroll and Ed Murphy. His impersonations of celebrities, the accounts of his dachshund's feats and his dramatic recital of the rowboat incident always gain him a willing audience. Leisure hours find him gratifying his taste for good reading, an avocation which is rivalled only by his fondness for coconut bars. Jap has played an important part in the school's athletic history, having been a fixture in our line for four seasons. His guard play showed superb courage, and his ability to break into the opposing backfield was most disconcerting to the enemy. Tackled by Lydon was the constant refrain that proved to be the swansong of many a ball-carrier's hopes. Jim's family traditions are interwoven with the medical profession, and he plans to embark on a physician's career. Present plans call for his enrollment at George- town University as a preface to medical school. It is with regret that we part com- pany with such a friend, but we feel that life has countlesss blessings in store for him. I l tx f ,ff f ga 45
