THE CLASS OF 1945 ST. SEBASTIAN'S ALUMNI TWO classes of St. Sebastian graduates have left Nonantum Hill to pursue higher studies in various colleges. That they still cherish fond memories of hap- py days spent in our company is evidenced by the frequency with which they visit the School and also by their faithfulness in corresponding with the Headmaster and members of the Faculty. To keep in touch with their Alma Mater, they took steps last Fall to form St. Sebastian's Alumni Association and Jimmy Collins '45 was elected the first President. They have the intention of sponsoring two Com- munion Breakfasts a year at the School, during Christmas and Easter vacation periods, and the first of these has been arranged for Sunday, April 13th. Shortly, the Class of 1947 will find itself in the ranks of the newly-formed Alumni Association, and we wish to assure the founding fathers of the group that we shall follow in their footsteps as Alumni as loyally as we did as students. Hav- ing enjoyed their companionship as fellow Sebastianites for either two or three years, we feel that their achievments, since leaving St. Sebastian's, deserve special mention in this record of our prep school life. BAKER, GEORGE A. After almost three years of Navy duty in the Pacific, George was discharged from the service too late to be admitted to College last Fall. Not the type to mark time, the Okinawa veteran has been refreshing his scientific back- ground at the Wheeler School with an eye to entering Catholic University or M.I.T. next September. BAKER, ROBERT J. Like his brother George, Bob did his stint in the Navy and spent nearly a year in Japan. To acclimate himself to the scholastic whirl once again, Bob spent the first four months of this aca- demic year with us at St. Sebastian's. At that point he began his Freshman year at Catholic University where he is now intent on Business subjects. BARRY, HENRY G. Perhaps our busiest alumnus, Hank has almost completed his Sophomore year at B.C. in the A.B. fMathJ course. Despite the difficult course he has elected, he still finds time to coach Basket- ball and Baseball at St. Thomas High School and to cover schoolboy sports for the Boston Herald. CARROLL, JOSEPH V. With the expert ence of a Navy yeoman in Japan behind him, Joe embarked upon his College career at Georgetown last September and enrolled in a pre-legal A.B. course. Using his leisure hours profitably, he has just been named Assistant Sports Editor of The Hoya, an honor never attained before by a Freshman. COLLINS, JAMES J. Having served two years as a bluejacket of Uncle Sam, Jimmy was discharged last Summer, just in time to enter the B.C. Business School where he is now wrestling with three-hour problems in Accounting. In addition he is now serving as President of the Alumni Association. COURTNEY, EDMUND J. Before Uncle Sam claimed him for the Navy, Ed had com- pleted one year at Holy Cross. Shortly after his enlistment, he was stricken with pneu- monia and a long convalescence ensued. Since that time he has taken refresher courses here and at Manter-Hall Prep, with the hope of resuming College studies in the Fall.

CRYAN, WILLIAM M. After beginning his College work at Holy Cross, Bill trans- ferred to Boston College and at the present time he is nearing the completion of his Sophomore year. DERMODY, FRANK M. Frank is an- other Sebastianite who saw Tokyo via the Navy. Since enrolling at Holy Cross, he has been attaining honor grades and has been most active in extra-curricular activities like the Debating Society, French Club and His- tory Society. In addition he is a member of the Executive Board of the Outing Club. DONAHUE, RICHARD J. Richie's com- paratively long distance from the School prevents him from visiting us often. After two and a half years in the service, Dick is doing general work in his local George- town, Mass., and attending a business school in Haverhill. GIBBONS, DONALD. Upon graduating from St. Sebastian's, Don entered the Mari- time Academy at King's Point and had the opportunity of seeing Africa frequently. Discharged from the Naval Reserve early last Fall, Don will enter B.C. next Septem- ber and in the meantime he is refreshing at Newman Prep. Don Gibbons, Bob and George Baker, Jimmie Lydon chat with Miss Meuse and Miss Kenney of the School's Secre- tarial Staff. GILBERT, GEORGE F. George left the Hill to enter the Navy V-12 program, sub- sequently went to gunnery school and after- wards figured in many Pacific invasions. Back to civilian life after three years in the service, he is pursuing a B.S. in History course at B.C. and, as might be expected, do- ing a great job at the books. GLASHEEN, HUGH F. Now an acceler- ated Junior at Notre Dame, Hugh has been attaining honors in his Business course and in consequence has been elected to mem- bership in the Business Club. However, he still finds time to assist the Fighting Irish in a managerial capacity during the Football season. KELLEY, LEON E.-Leon's talents have placed him on the Dean's List at Holy Cross, where he matriculated after passing up a chance to continue in radar work with the Navy. Studying Business, he is active in the Sodality, the History and Debating Soci- eties, and has revived the defunct Outing Club at Mt. St. James. KELLY, SHAUN. With one year of his Social Science course completed at George- town, Shaun was called to Army duty and sailed for the Orient shortly after Christ- mas. Currently, his mailing address is Kumamoto, Japan. LYDON, JAMES G. Jim will complete the Sophomore year of his pre-medical course at Harvard this June. Active in the French and History Clubs and getting his exercise at Squash, he was still able to make the Annual Retreat with us here at St. Se- bastian's this year. MCCARRON, CHARLES A. His pre-legal course at Harvard interrupted by a brief term in the Navy, Charlie was not dis- charged by Uncle Sam in time to re-enter the Crimson halls last September. A short career in the work-a-day world occupied him until he returned to Harvard last Feb- ruary. 45's GRADUATES RETURN FOR '46 GRADUATION
