Quiet and reserved at first, this West Roxbury booster soon became an integral part of our class and School life. Liked by every one for his sage, yet humorous re- marks, he always evinced a direct practicality and strong loyalty. With Bill Har- wood he constituted a Damon and Pythias partnership that was begun in kinder- garten days and strengthened by mutual participation in home-town and vacation escapades over which he loved to reminisce frequently. Perhaps it was in conse- quence of these that he arrived at his philosophy: Life is as easy as falling off a train. In the classroom, Snuffy was a consistent, industrious student, never one to volunteer information, he was always prepared to answer queries and often pro- posed questions in return. Latin was his strongpoint and his translations, whether prepared or from sight, were always scored superior. Senior English saw jim doubling for Lady Macbeth and giving a most creditable performance. That he had made his presence felt in our ranks was indicated by his election this year as Class Treasurer, after he had served efficiently in the role of Chairman of the Ring Committee. On the gridiron, Big jim was an important cog in our successes of recent years, for his hard charging opened many a hole and his guard play hauled down many a carrier. During his last year of service to the Red and Black, he shared the co-captaincy with his pal, Bill Harwood, and incidentally figured in one of the high points of the season. This came in the Milford game when jim inter- cepted a pass near mid-field and pounded all the way to cross the enemy goal. However, sad to say, the officials ruled that he had been assisted unduly by Paul King and the tally was not allowed. just to prove his versatility, our hero took a brief Hing at Basketball in his junior year and did a nice piece of work as a guard. As yet, jim is undecided regarding his future course of action but we can visualize it as an eminently practical one that will lead to success and at the same time provide genial contentment for the wayfarer. The best of everything, jim, and may you always strengthen the ties that bind you to the Class of 1947.

Football l, 2 J.V. Baseball 1, 2 Athletic Association 4 Blond, benevolent Bob Bullock is the ideal type of St. Sebastian gentleman. Kind and considerate in every way, the Newton Centre lad exhibits a natural chivalry that speaks volumes for the home training he has received. Four years of association with him have enabled us to discover in him a genial, friendly and loyal classmate who is at all times genuine and sincere. Gifted with a ready smile that easily turned into a nervous laugh, he often became the object of idle banter when his inherent shyness caused his dimpled countenance to assume a blushing red. A class wit, one of his favorite diversions lay in recalling favorite jokes and puns. In the scholastic sphere, Bob had a high standard to carry on, for he was expected to continue the Bullock tradition of fine scholarship, set by his alumnus- brother, Myron. At his desk, the popular Newtonite always struck The Thinker pose as he gave undivided attention to the problem of the hour. By combining hard work and native intelligence, he has been eminently successful in his scholas- tic endeavors, and yet he found time to make music his hobby and develop into an erudite critic of that art. It is safe to say that St. Sebastian's has never had a more enthusiastic supporter of School activities than Bob. President of his class in junior year, he provided the spark that made functions like School Proms and Athletic Association projects definitely successful. Faithful as an acolyte for four years, he was entrusted with the responsibility of handling the business affairs of the 1947 Arrow and in that role rendered valuable assistance to Fr. Flanigan. In his earlier years as a Sebas- tianite, the younger Bullock threw himself into j.V. athletics with great enthusi- asm and carved out regular positions for himself in both Football and Baseball. The grid campaigns found him holding down an end post, while the diamond seasons saw him at the hot corner which was made hotter by blasts from the bench. Next year, Bob will start his college career close to home. In the graceful towers of Boston College he sees typified his aspirations for a cultured, Christian life, and we have the conviction that he will realize them thoroughly. To The Heights, Bob, not merely for four years, but for life! mofwvoue Even 3 Tmyou Asour X f cmusrovutrz LYNCH 7 is 1 , 1 Lx A X X X

Many of his qualities had been conveyed to us in ad- vance by Bill O'I.eary whose promising prophecies were fulfilled and even sur- passed by Jack himself. Within a short time we discovered that the advent of our soft-spoken comrade was a milestone in our history. Quiet, friendly and very likeable, he soon attained a high rank in the School popularity poll, and Senior year found him elected to the office of Class President. In the field of studies his consistent effort and natural ability soon carried him to the forefront. If at times the pronouncements of the reverend instructors were not sufficiently informing, jack was quick to propound searching and enlightening questions. An evidence of his superior scholarship came when he was awarded First Honors in Inter- mediate Algebra in Junior year. Far from being a grind, the Milton Adonis finds time for an extensive but well-veiled social life and during the Summer he and his blue convertible alternate appearances between North Scituate and Brewster. No one can say, however, that his social conquests interfere in any way with his other interests. To complete his versatility, jack turns to athletics with equal success. Last Fall he was an essential cog in the grid machine and his end play reached its peak in the St. Clement's game. A gardener in the diamond sport, he snags long drives and sinking liners with facility. It was on the Basketball court, however, that jack rose to his greatest heights. No one can contest the fact that he was the key- stone of Red and Black quintets. Inspiring the team with his magnificent defen- sive play, he was adept at dropping in long ones with effortless grace. Never to be forgotten, his game-winning shot in the Cathedral contest of a year ago found the hoop from half-court and earned him the nickname Swish. On this occasion, as always, jack blushed violently at the thunderous applause. At present, jack is torn between Harvard and Holy Cross, but we have a feel- ing that the situation has more of a Purple than a Crimson tinge. Whatever his choice, we are certain that his entire future life will reflect added glory on St. Sebastian's. Z .4 if SWISH,
