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.

0xiS UN7Pya K , J, gsawa m ir S Q, , 1 f i X .5 qwmww ROBERT CIGGI Bob Choir 4 No record of our sojourn at St. Sebastian's would be complete unless it included an account of a special student in our midst, whose love for learning led him to journey daily from Weymouth to Nonantum Hill. 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

It is Dick's distinction to be the one Sebastianite who arrives and departs each day in the luxury of a taxi. The reader, however, would be in error if he pictured ourjamaica Plain classmate in the role of a plutocrat lolling back in cushioned ease, for by the time the cab opens its doors on Nonantum Hill it resembles the circus car in discharging scores of students whom the benevolent Dick has picked up en route. Rich entered our ranks as a transfer from Cranwell in Junior year, and in no time at all was made a full-fledged member of the firm. Undoubtedly his generosity with his time, ability and funds impressed us from the start, and we shall never cease to marvel at his prodigious storehouse of sports data. Without question he is the outstanding athletic fan in the class, and his sporting blood leads him to back the team of his choice with more than cheers. In the class- room his inseparable brief case is as much part and parcel of the scene as the black- board, and between classes he voices disapproval of over-buoyant spirits with the growl you fool! Although he is the heaviest man in '46's circle, his bird-like appetite amazes his table mates, and makes him a much more popular neighbor than Myron. Off the campus he guards against possible vitamin deficiency by downing two and three floats at a sitting. A consistently good student, Dick spends Fall afternoons in the tag-rush league, where his ability to heave the pigskin farther than any one else in the School arouses the envy of Varsity passers. Indoors in the cage, he demonstrates an exceptionally keen eye for basket shooting. It was entirely appropriate, we thought, that he should be selected Official Scorer for all the School's contests in his Senior year. His indispensability in this regard was brought to public attention when The Walrzzf' wondered what Fr. Flanigan would do without Dick Killian . In his two years with us, Dick has been Holy Cross' greatest rooter in our midst and we felt no surprise when he enrolled and was accepted at the Worcester college. Success cannot long escape this happy warrior, and his classmates wish him a life- long possession of it. FX. 9-Yu vu L WITH REQ r' ,Q ,I T -QA I, 5. 1 W2 43
