xsxs COUNIPP 4 af:- E ssh t 'lg 1 k If H f QVWUASSAT-A 5 During our four years at St. Sebastian's, the lower classmen have contributed greatly to our School life and it is our wish that they have their chapter in this edition of THE ARROW . In accordance with the democratic ideals of the School, we have come to know the present Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen almost as well as our own classmates and they have a very definite place in the memories that we are taking away from Nonantum Hill. To make those memories permanent, we are including in this record a salute to all the students with whom we have spent this final year at St. Sebastian's Having spent the greatest number of years with us, the juniors come first to mind and we shall long recall the temporarily missing mariners, Bob Murphy and Bill Gibbons, and their contributions to the School's athletic life. As partners in crime, the quartet of Jack Cochrane, Ralph Donnelly, Bill Brooks and Dick Collupy were always in each other's company and of one of our fondest recollections will always be Minnow's rendition of the 'Wwhippenpoof Song at the Minstrel Show. The junior Greeks were in a class by themselves scholastically: Quiz Kid and Basketball Captain-Elect Fran Kett, all-round student-athlete Bob Kelly, impifh Paul Corcoran, suave Paul McDonald and the watch-charm lineman, Dave Connor. Athletically, the talented toe of Bob Joyce, the guard play of George Hayes, the slugging of Henry Lane, the fancy ball-handling of Tom Green, the pass- snatching of Hilt Collupy, the goal-tending of Bruce Harrigan and the managerial efliciency of Dick Keelan are connected with a flood of memories. Thoughts of recess periods bring to mind Jim Clifford's haste to reach the gym, Jack Baker's high pitched voice and giggle, jim Coleman's basso profundo, Sam Hefler's Yankee business sense, Park Hurley's ineradicable good-nature, Bob Neville's political views, Bob Cochrane's triumvirate with Art Dias and Tommy O'Shea, Gerry McCourt's bouncing stride and Charlie Sullivan's mildness. Among the quiet members of the class, A1 Hughes preferred to let the Chapel organ speak for him, Paul Clogan consistently turned in good recitations, Murray Regan became a charter member of the Debating Society, Clem Dore surprised us with his blackface work in the Minstrel Show, Gordon Doucette spoke fluent French on the Quebec trip, Paul Sullivan amazed us with his gas-producing Science Fair exhibit, john Sherry grew more apple-cheeked as the year progressed and Reed Gomperts found plenty to discuss with jimmy Delay. Because of his Buick, Bill O'Brien found it easier -l 163 I-
