In similar fashion, the Saint Sebastian world respects the accomplishments of its scholars and admires the trained prowess of its athletes. The former receive an abiding laurel wreath of Honor Roll awards, First Honors credit and annual scholarships. The latter win passing praise that may prove evanescent unless their exploits are recorded for posterity. Athletic contests may well be regarded as sham battles in which the For-titude of the competitor is tested in the natural sphere. Life itself will be the real battle in which supernatural For- titude will assert itself. COU 3 5 5 fl- -04 S Q Qin .H L ,ij q'MAssA0

more successful invasion of North Conway in which twenty-live ski enthusiasts took part. The topic of sports conversation already is the coming Baseball season which will hold sixteen games for the Arrows and give them a real testing, in the course of which they will not be able to depend upon Bob McNabb who is still convalescing. Beyond the diamond campaign, Senior Week is being planned me- ticulously and at its end we shall take our places among the Alumni of St. Sebas- tian's. Preferring to look back upon our School past intead of gazing into the unknown future, we recall certain kaleidoscopic incidents and traits that deserve recording for posterity: Fr. Stocklosa's corny jokes-Fr. Keating's anecdotes-Fr. Flanigan's tours through the aisles-Heavey's ties- Keithie's antics-Horrigan's professed inno- cence-Ford's inopportune remarks-Kendrick vs. Phillips-Freddie Golden Ter- ror Buttner and his many adversaries-paper airplanes with the lights as objec- tives-Frank O'Donoghue's near miss of the Headmaster-Kehoe's poetry-com- pulsory cold water showers-towel battles and their consequences-Buttner's in- carceration in the locker-the Magno-Magno peril which made Keith fear for his life-the blood and thunder ping-pong battles-diplomatic approaches to Mary the cook-Fr. Keating's piano playing-Miss Meuse's generous assistance on all occasions-Miss Kenney's arrival--the applause which greeted the dropping of a tray-Fr. Flanigan's ever-loyal game reports-Fr. Mclnnis' jubilee observance-re- ports from Miss Byrnes' Dancing School-the reading of the first Arrow - Graduation Week musicales-the loss of a Hockey game to Malden on St. Sebas- tian's feast day-Eddie Linnane's triumph over the skunk- after-dinner smok- ing sessions in which so many problems were settled-the universal wonder as to the author of The Carpenter Replies. While we naturally rejoice in anticipation of the happiness that graduation will bring, at the same time we realize that during our sojourn on Nonantum Hill we have dug our roots deeply into St. Sebastian life. Far from endeavoring to ex- tirpate them, we shall use the passage of the years to bind us even more closely to Alma Mater by living our lives in accordance with her ideals. 4 00 S 'Q P ljpiiii-H git zz ij, QE '41 Q gl! -52 y 4' -K. pl.
