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

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.

He well fulfilled the promise indicated by his eagerness to enter the School. Steady, loyal and sincere, he has participated in every activity the School has undertaken. We may well say that he has placed everything he had at the School's disposal. Charlie has been outstanding in football and baseball. The line loses a steady heads-up center with his departure to college. Once Charlie had shaken off forty pounds of unwanted weight, he developed into a catcher whose arm kept the foe close to first base. He had only one great weakness. He could always manage to break one finger a year, with or without provocation. In his junior year, Charlie was elected President of the Student Council. In carry- ing out his duties, he represented the student body faithfully and Well before the Faculty. That same year he was Chairman of the Junior Prom Committee. This was one of the most successful affairs the School had sponsored since its opening. Charlie set a fine precedent in that department of the School's life. Q It appears to us that Charlie is set for a fine career. He is manly, firm, determined, decent and ambitious. We are all with you, Charlie.
