Living within a stone's throw of the School, he takes time out from boosting Newton to serve as publicity agent for his father's dental prowess. From all accounts he cuts quite a figure in local drug store society, although he has been known to muster up sufficient courage to ask for the family car and then drive carefully, avoiding all poles except The Totem variety. Together with his brother Tom, the luminary of the Sophomore class, he is reconciled to finishing second in any popularity poll taken of the Barrettes, for his classmates in their gallantry would bestow the palm upon his charming sister. Here at St. Sebastian's Mike has been a very integral part of the School scene. His nervous laugh and hasty speech were part and parcel of our classroom day, and neither he nor we can forget the occasion on which he drew fire from Fr. Keating. A slow starter along academic lines, he always gathered momentum as the year progressed and in first year had the distinction of winning second honors in Latin. Athletically, the Newton lad devoted his talents to the football and basketball squads in his early years, but in his Junior and Senior terms assumed a managerial role for all teams, and ended his career as Undergraduate Manager of all sports. Having trained himself by climbing Nonantum Hill for four years, our hero plans on conquering collegiate and post-graduate heights. He takes with him our sincere best wishes for success, and leaves with us a host of happy memories. May that long-legged stride and infectious grin carry you to the pinnacle of your ambition, A'Mike !

THE ATHLETES ROM the aspiring Athlete is required that he candidly F manifest his inherent abilities to his Mentors, at- tentively heed their instruction and faithfully engage in the exercises they prescribe. The Class of l946'has endeavored to fulfill these requirements over a period of four years: whatever native ability we had was easily discernible to the practised eyes of our professors, and for the most part we paid zealous attention in class and methodically fulfilled home assignments. With our training period at St. Sebastian's now at an end, we are ready to enter the Arena of Life, and prove ourselves true Athletes of Christ.

For four years now the Newton lad has dominated the intellectual sphere on Nonantum Hill, and has been a heartening consolation to all the members of the Faculty. It must not be thought, however, that his popularity ends with the teach- ing branch of the School, for his classmates have chosen him Class President for four consecutive years. Far from being a social hermit, he is in all respects a regular fellow who openly admits a fondness for Sherlock Holmes and mystery stories. Horror movies are his meat , for he has been known to take in Dracula and Frankenstein at a single sitting. A thorough workman in all fields he does not exclude the dining room where he has won the title of champion trencherman, mashed potatoes being his specialty. From an extra-curricular viewpoint, reading, soda- jerking and driving like Barney Oldfield take up his leisure moments. The list of Byron's accomplishments in our midst stamps him as our quiz kid . Awarded a scholarship at the end of his freshman year, he added to his laurels in winning the editorship of The Wolmrn, the sports editorship of Tlve Arrow and in serving as St. Sebastian's spokesman on The Junior Town Meeting of the Air . In athletics he gave himself wholeheartedly to two major sports: Football and Baseball. The gridiron saw in him a speedy end for three years, and the diamond recognized him as a fancy-Dan at the initial sack where his familiar breeze it past him was a constant source of encouragement to Red and Black hurlers. It is safe to say that no member of the class of '46 has derived as much from his sojourn at St. Sebastian's as this scholar-athlete. It is equally safe to say that none of us has given as unstintingly of himself to his School and his classmates as the same Myron. Those two qualities will,We feel, be typical of his life as he lives it to the fullest and devotes himself unselfishly to the service of God and his fellow man. qnufm 7 Bal
