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-

to take his books home in the evening rather than the afternoon, jack Elston was a dependable chauffeur for the West Roxbury contingent and Bill Flanagan per- formed similar service for the Miltonites. Transportation was no problem for lanky lineman Ed Ryan, but it always bothered Dave Hanron on Mondays, Russ MacDonald's sister had a nerve to take his Latin book to Chicago, Jerry Burns made the long trip from California to enter St. Sebastian's, Paul Burke made many journeys to Milton, Frank Renaud went on loot-collecting expeditions with Fr. Harrington, Neil Campbell was missed by all of us during his long illness. Familiar as the Sophomore trio, joe Sheehan, Tom Atkinson and Lew Santora were loyal supporters of School activities: Joe has proven to be a most efficient athletic manager, Lew a model town builder and Tom an enthusiastic Alpiner. In Honor Roll awards, John Doherty tops his class with consistency, although Ed Connors, jim Cotter and Gerry Powers provide him with stiff competition. jimmy Carroll was a familiar figure in the sanctuary, Ted Molinari was often seen in the company of Griff Fallon who made his debut here wearing a Cranwell jacket, Richard Hurley was a big help to THE ARROW , Frank Murphy brought Herb Kopf to the Football banquet, jim Evans was the last to leave the Baseball field each day, Wally MacKinnon is now adding Tennis to his athletic accomplishments, johnny Gazzola turned out to be quite a sharpshooter with a basketball, Dick McCarthy has his own column in THE WALRUS when he is not weight-lifting, Jimmy Allen is on the way to being a fine inflelder, John Donahue whiffed 25 Middlesex lads, Dick Schiffman has a million dollar smile, John Griffin is quite a shutter-bug, Jim Delay runs a very efficient bookstore, Joe Shea will soon weigh as much as Park Hurley, Dick Blazo ought to be with the Varsity grid squad next Fall, Dave Oldfield is a V. four letter man, jim Canning makes a good Basketball guard, Bob Zock should be School Tennis Champ next year, Dick Callahan is becoming quite a socialite, Bill Carey's 30 points helped the Varsity hoopsters greatly this past season, jim Harnedy hit Andy McAuliffe pretty hard in the Red-Blue grid classic, John McCarthy made quite an impression in the Prize Debate, Peter Kean was a big help to the chorus in the Minstrel Show, George White ought to trade that laugh for Woody Woodpecker's, Dan Barbo is on the way to a Tennis letter, Ed Tedeschi was a big help to Fr. Keating the day of the show, Barry McDonough hits a mean golf ball, Jimmy Todd can't wait to begin Chemistry, Jerry Baker was like a breath of the Old West, Tom Clark got a big kick out of V. Football, Fred Elston ought to be the leading contender for right field on next year's Varsity nine. Looking back on our own Freshman days, we are amazed at the impression this year's Freshmen have already made on School life. In a short span they have contributed generously to every phase of St. Sebastian activity. Art O'Shea, Larry McCarty and Russ Masterson drew great ovations for their solos at the Minstrel Show, john Moore, joe Supple, jack Dunphy, Ed Deignan and Franklin Riley were assets to the managerial corps, John Smith forgets to wear his glasses, Paul Carey, john Condon and Dick Sullivan made the Varsity grid squad their first year, Joe Bonica is the Freshman Einstein, Alan Casey has a real ear-to-ear grin, Ronnie Schiffman is forever hot on Bucky's trail, Mike O'Toole and Rickie Greene love to pass around a Tennis ball, Willy Volante was a big wheel in J.
