The Belmont boy joined our ranks in September 1943 and he has used his three years to such good advantage that he stands out as the most im- proved student on our roster. Our first impressions stamped him as a shy, retiring lad, but the intervening years have allowed us to discover in him the genuine qualities of sincerity and frankness. lntellectually curious, he is ever ready to be enlightened, but, at the same time, he has a flair for discussion in which he sticks to his guns with relentless tenacity. Up to the present writing Craigie is a confirmed misogynist, for he feels that the boon companionship of Quigley, McKinney, Killion and McGoldrick more than fulfills his social requisites. Off the campus, his diversions range from a quiet week-end with his stamp collection to a riotous holiday high- lighted by attendance at a movie, preferably a pirate thriller. In the realm of sports, Art and his pals were familiar figures on Autumn days as they tore up and down the sidelines to win glory in the tag-rush league. When Basketball arrived upon the scene, the speedy lad put himself under the tute- lage of Fr. Redding and Coach Murphy, and proved to be a tireless forward who was endowed with amazing stamina. Upon graduating from St. Sebastian's, Art plans to stake a claim at Georgetown with a view to preparing himself for entry either into Law or Journalism. In taking leave of our Class Secretary, we have no doubt but that the qualities which char- acterized his years with us will continue to win distinction for him all through the course of life.

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

Football 3 Hockey 3 Baseball 3 Many of the members of '46 will always be associated in our minds with antique vehicles that labored asthmatically up and down Nonantum Hill. To Tom Dewire, however, will always belong the distinction of having driven the smoothest car to put in an appearance at St. Sebastian's. Its putting power delivered Tom to the classroom door promptly each morning on the stroke of nineeno earlier and no later. Having arrived, the Newton squire's facial expression of studious solemnity cast its radiance over the scene and automatically excluded its owner from any inquiring suspicion on the part ofthe Faculty. If, however, the finger of circumstance seemed to point in his direction, his innocent Who? Me, Father? cleared him immediately. Tom spent only one accelerated year with us, but in that brief period he dug deep roots into St. Sebastian life. Quiet, soft-spoken and even-tempered, he made an admirable companion both on and off the campus. At the Totem Pole, Tom and Joe Phelan were practically as well known as Baron Hugo, and, in addition, 'AT.D. made frequent excursions into Brae Burn, Marblehead and Tabor Society. In the held of competitive athletics, Tom made a substantial contribution to our Varsity teams of 1944-45. His first few months in the School found him carving out a regular line berth for himself on the gridiron where his diagnostic ability and shiftiness made him an outstanding tackle. Hockey, too, magnetized him and he made an effective defense reserve who saw plenty of service. The Navy's needs cut short his diamond career, but up until his departure from us he placed his natural talents at the disposition ofthe School. Since leaving our ranks, Tom has had rather rough sailing which, we suspect, he took with characteristic imperturbability. Stricken with pneumonia on the West Coast, our blue-jacket spent a considerable period in sick-bay. Recuperated at last, he knows now how anxiously we awaited news of his progress. Smooth sailing for the rest of your hitch, Tom, and rest assured of a welcome anchorage always at the dock of '46, raves TYYES- W-6 4 ix xi sl 5 X a 5 fm, GI o r 37 9
