ST. SEBASTlAN'S ALUMNI Aw' Tue present time, St. Sebastian's Alumni are the twenty-one young men who comprised the School's first graduating class, the Class of 1945. They were thc pioneers who endured the temporary hardships attendant upon the creation of a new educational ideal, and, at the same time, they were the trail-blazers who individually contributed to the formation ofthe St. Sebastian spirit and tradition. Having spent three years of our prep school years in their comradeship,we could not help but be influenced by them and consequently become deeply attached to them. They were so integral a part of our St. Sebastian life that we feel that this record of our life on Nonantum Hill would be incomplete unless they were included. It is in this spirit that we have endeavored to compile the story of their lives since leaving St. Scbastian's. GRADUATION SCENE, 1945 MUL HILNRY BARRY VIN DAN O'BRIEN SLATS
