Bob Giggi first fell in step with us during the early days of thellast September, and the intervening period has proven him a boon companion who grew on us with each successive day. He could always be relied upon to enliven the tedium of recitation periods with both questions and answers, while between classes he was kept occupied by the zealous attentions of White and Reynolds, his Scylla and Charybdis. With characteristic generosity, the Weymouth boy put his talents at the disposal of the School Choir and Mr. Whelan and also gave ardent support to every St. Sebastian activity. As long as Bob was on the scene, the Red and Black athletic teams could rest assured of leather-lunged support. When the Junior Class asked the support of '46 in conducting its annual Prom, the unselflsh newcomer was among the first to pledge assistance. We know by now that Bob has the highest ideals and aspirations, and we wish him every success in the ultimate attainment of them. We feel sure also that the character of his life and achievements will always lead us to look back proudly on the happy days we shared at St. Sebastian's. vet wzfai X in N...' 41

FLYNN Bob Football 1, 2, 3' Alpine Club 1, 2, 3, 4 Senior Prom Committee Parents' and Friends' Day Chairman Arrow Staff Waltham may be The Watch City, but that suburb ought to convert to alarm clocks for the sake of Bob Flynn. For years now this worthy has been terrorizing Fr. Keating's 9 o'clock class by making one point landings within inches of the teacher's platform, just after the History session has begun. Some have said that it was to counteract this menace that Fr. Mclnnis erected the statue of Our Lady just in front of the Senior classroom. Bob and his car are always at odds. l-ie has a formula for starting it, that is all his own. When the rear end refrains from falling out, the transmission is sure to cave in. However, it is worth its weight in gold- if for no other reason than that it provides its pilot with an inexhaustible source of alibis-for being tardy. Bob's four years with us have given us the opportunity of enjoying his enviable personality which prompts him to work like a Trojan at times and yet allows him to be uproariously gay at others. In support of the serious aspect of his character we need only point to his prodigious improvement in Math. As far as the lighter side is concerned, who will forget his use of a movie star's picture to publicize Andrea before he brought her to the Junior Prom? Until lately, chocolate ice cream was a much more important factor in his life than the opposite sex, but recently we have heard tales of invitations to Academy of the Assumption socials, and, as a result, now we are not so sure. In sports, Bob survived the gruelling V. football pro- gram for two years under Fr. Keating, and his play always evidenced plenty of in- testinal fortitude. It must be noted also that the junior Flynn was a charter Alpine Club member, and as such could not have worried too much about the integrity of life and limb. Bob is looking at the future from the viewpoint of engineering and, according to our survey, he is sure to make the grade. A sincere welcome will always be his right when he comes back to join the circle of the Class of '46,

HIGGINS Bob Football 1 Alpine Club 1, 2, 3, 4 junior Prom Chairman WulruJ Staff 3, 4 Arrow Editor and Business Manager Cardinal Newman's definition of a gentleman as one who never consciously gives offense is verified in the person of Bob Higgins. Mild-tempered, suave and always agreeable, he is capable of adapting himself to any circumstances. That he adapted himself successfully to St. Sebastian's is proven by his attainment of an academic scholarship, and by his adroit organization of class activities. No one would seriously dispute his selection as the social lion of '46, for his week-ends are always taken up with a ceaseless round of functions that take him to house parties, dances, plays and operas. He has too definite a yen for meeting celebrities, and he goes into raptutes over the voices of Hildegarde and Frank Sinatra. His prom-singing and his affectation of long hair give him an artistic touch, and the second character- istic also made money for him on a memorable occasion involving Fr. Cuffe. St. Sebastian's has no more loyal supporter of school activities, for he always attends and usually brings with him a host of Belmont friends. Football and Baseball were Bob's athletic choices in his first year with us, although these gave way to Track, Squash and Tennis in later days. The change was more than likely due to his submersion in such time-consuming duties as Chairman of the Junior Prom, Walrus reporter, and Editor-Business Manager of The Arrow . A winter sports enthusiast, Bob was one of the three charter members of the Alpine Club, and reliable sources report that he found ski-ing much less hazardous than acting as Fr. Hannigan's co-pilot on the 8:50 flight from Belmont each morning. With a business career ahead of him, our socialite affiliated himself last summer with a swank shop on Boylston Street, where his charm and Old World manner con- vinced patrons that he must be either Mr. Bigelow or Mr. Kennard. Bob's im- mediate goal is Holy Cross, and we have no doubt but that he will be a distinct contribution to the scholastic, fraternal and social life of his future classmates. Happy landing, Bob, may your shadow never grow less.
