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.

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

Co-partners and accomplices in this action were Tom Dunbar and Charlie Reynolds, and even a casual obsewerwould note thata flair for extra-curricular activities was the tie that bound the three together. Canters through the Blue Hills and yachting expeditions off Hull served to make the distance between Newton and Canton of little consequence. It was in September of '44 that Fred had the good sense to enroll at Saint Sebastian's, and the two years of our acquaintance with him have enabled us to bask in the charm of his calm, even- tempered disposition. On occasion, however, we have heard him resort to a vigorous protest that always took the form of: But I did it, Father . Having earned a reputa- tion for being practical, as the result of his suggestions in class meetings, Fred was chosen a member of the Class Ring Committee. In this capacity, as well as in others, he found it necessary to act as class chauffeur . At times his journeys have carried him North as far as Salem, although the explanation may be that he Was en route to visit Fr. Tom in Peabody. It is said, however, that he takes a firm stand against driving at night. The tag-rush workouts found Fred a faithful participant, and his love for the great outdoors also vented itself in membership in the Alpine Club. These activities, along with a brief flier at the Choir in his Junior year, took up the blond boy's time in our midst. The Towers on the Heights have been a magnet to Fred ever since he moved to Newton, and there he plans to pursue a course that will one day culminate in scru- tinizing tongues and noting pulses. Diagnosing his future, we see in it only the best! f l Q ULU Saqykls p w X 'Tn U55 'Ls 19:7 K . 45
