JACK - BULLET Class President 4 ' Class Vice-President 2 Football 2, 3, QCaptainj 4 Hockey 2, 3, 4 Baseball 2, 5, 4 Golf 2, 3 PersonalAthletic Award Plaque 4 The presidency of the Senior Class is an honor that is not lightly bestowed and jack Boyle has merited it in view of the character and talents he has displayed ir1 his three years with us. Gifted with the knack of blending the serious and the humorous in proper proportions, the Belmont commuter could always be relied upon to achieve honor grades in his studies and to make a lively contribution to any gathering. To hear him give vent to his characteristic gurgling laugh was an experience long to be remembered, and his ability to take it was often tested by allusions to Teddy Bear and baby-sitting. Together with Bud Greene, Bob Murgphy and Bill Gibbons, Jack was involved in Operation Atlantic last September an in the course of it was called upon to swim a half mile for aid in the dead of night. Although the whole expedition turned out to be a highly perilous one, now that it can be viewed in safe retrospect it has its humorous aspects which Jack never tires of repeating in his tipped-back chair. OH the campus, our Mr. Atlas is well known in West Roxbury, Newton and Westwood circles, making most of his visits in the vicinity of meal times. The report has reached us that he is seriously considering the marketing of Larry McAuliffe's chocolate cakes, for anything chocolate is an obsession with him. A powerful plunging back, Jack has been responsible for much of St. Sebastian's gridiron success in the last three years. Whenever vital yardage was needed, The Bullet delivered it and his prodigious passing gave us a superlative aerial attack. None of us will 'ever forget his 45 yard, game-tieing toss to Fish in the St. John's Prep game of '46, although his performance in the Cambridge Latin contest of '47 was a better display of his all-around ability. In the latter fray, he was responsible for our three touchdowns, the first by a 19 yard end jaunt, the second on a center plunge and the third via the air route with a 37 yard pass to Bob Murphy. Injured in the Hudson game and put out of action for the rest of the season, he proved himself a true captain by spurring on his mates from the sidelines. On the ice, he was an All-Catholic defenseman whose sweeping stick broke up many an attack on our goal, and on one occasion he had the distinction of racking up two goals within 20 seconds. Because of his happily-combined academic and athletic talents, the President of the Class of '48 will scale the heights of collegiate competition and reflect added glory on St. Sebastian's. Wear your laurels well, Jack, and rest assured of a vivid place in our memories of prep-school days. -I 20 1-

To the classroom he brought a keen and inquiring mind that seemed to relish the challenge of the classical curriculum and in no time he established a beach-head on the Honor Roll from which he rarely was dislodged. In recognition of his academic achievements, he was awarded a scholarship for his Sophomore and Junior years. Meanwhile, School activities Had also caught his fancy and he joined the athletic managerial staff to be molded painstakingly by the competent Hugh Glasheen. In this department he served most faithfully for three years until the pressure of other duties forced him to retire to literary circles in his Senior year. When The Walrus made its debut on the horizon, Tom was a natural choice for the stall and since that time he has been a faithful contributor whose work left nothing to be desired. Quite appropriately therefore in time he was chosen Editor of The Arrow and he assumed the task with characteristic enthusiasm and devo- tion. From his classmates also he received honors-membership on the all- important Junior Prom Committee and the class presidency in 1945. Although he was not a personal competitor on Red and Black teams, no school ever had a rooter more loyal than this Newtonite. Ex oilicio he attended all con- tests for three years and even after he relinquished his managerial responsibili- ties he could not resist the invitation to act as Official Scorer in Basketball and Baseball. At Football games he was sure to organize his own personal cheering section and to urge on our warriors with applause and encouragement. We hear also that he makes full use of his time when he is away from the Hill and Monday mornings always bring lively accounts of week-end activities in the com any of Bill O'Brien, Harry Field, Dom Morley and George Kelley. Furthermore, he has been known to cross the border into Wellesley and to return with eulogies of a Lux complexion. Having surveyed the collegiate world, Tom is inclined to follow Brother Mike to Georgetown, although Boston College and Harvard are not entirely eliminated from his consideration. While we regret the severing of our daily contacts with him, we are supremely confident that his business career will reap the harvest of success. -l191.. wouwrlr You THINK wav wouio LETYou srumr SANSKRIT L B -A HI h e

Once he had become interested in the School through the reports of his cousin, Dick Watson, the Belmont lad decided that he had been missing some- thing and promptly joined our ranks. It did not require many meetings with Hugh for the Faculty and student body to agree that the newcomer had all the qualifica- tions necessary to make him acceptable to both groups. To his studies he brought a keen mind and a zest for learning that satisfied every teacher and made his presence on the Honor Roll a foregone conclusion. The least mistake in his work disturbed him to the extent that he never committed the same error twice, and his painstaking accuracy reaped its reward when he was awarded a scholarship for his Senior year. Anything out of the ordinary he pronounced weird , although he would never use it in the same breath with Walt Disney characters which he so realistically reproduced in his doodlings . A talented artist, he put his gifts at the service of The Walrus and The Arrow and used his skill to enhance the decorative themes of proms and banquets. In the summer time he divided himself between the Widener Library and Portsmouth, N. H., but during the School year the St. Sebastian cage could always be relied upon to lure him from his Belmont and Cambridge associations. In the realm of sports, Hugh accorded the palm of favoritism to Basketball in which he excelled. Although he won a starting berth as a junior, it was not until this last season that he blossomed forth as a star of the first magnitude. He chose the Boston Garden as the scene of his peak performance and on that court racked up 19 points to pace the Red and Black to an impressive 34-19 win over Immaculate of Revere. In the Spring, the Belmont blond toed the mound now and again and, for some strange reason, batting practice was never too popular when he was serving them up. Tennis also attracted his fancy and he wielded the racquet effectively enough to become a finalist in the Annual School Tournament. Idealist that he is, Hugh has decided to join the Crusader ranks at Holy Cross ro prepare for a journalistic career. That he will be eminently successful and add prestige to St. Sebastian's is the unanimous opinion and fervent wish of all who have treasured his friendship on Nonantum Hill. -I 21 j.- Szsooo A veAP.1s sms MR msntv BUT I wsu.
