aw w V 6' if at lf 2 fa ,yi fa p A e iq' gf. , 6549 'MASSACXX RICHARD KILLION Dick Ofiicial Scorer 4 iiwdlfllfni Staff 4 Arrow Business Staff Bob Flynn may have his Chevy , McGoldrick may have his LaSalle , but Dick Killion has his 'ARed Cab . 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

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.

Incidentally, the class also took on more color when Mac arrived, for he brought with him a crop of red hair and The Voice . Among his tangible assets he listed also a T model Ford which he succeeded in unloading upon Mul , who in turn got out from under by transferring it to Bob Shea. Lane lost little time in establishing himself as one of the boys, for the records of the short-lived Magno- Magno organization would probably reveal him as its creative genius. A fiend for wrestling, his day would not be complete Without a bout with Paul Flynn. If anyone deserves the title of class ribber it is the Waban lad, and that talent, coupled with his agreeable personality, accounts for the fact that he is everybody's friend. He had too a yen for imitating people, especially editors of yearbooks. Along sartorial lines, Mac would rate as a dapper dresser when in the mood to be such, and in the same fashion he was always one who could take social life or leave it alone. Waban's pride and joy came to us in time to take part in only one football season. As a hard-running half-back, he was an important cog in the 1945 team, and reached his peak in the Rivers game by carrying the oval into pay dirt twice. In Hockey, Lane was a member of the champion 1944-45 sextet, and this year proved himself versatile enough to be used on the forward line as well as at a defense post. At the present time, Mads plans feature an immediate future at Georgetown, where he is bound to win friends and influence people . In taking leave of him we may say that our one regret is that we did not know him sooner, however, we look forward to having in him a life-long friend.
