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.

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-

Far from being depressed by the academic chores imposed by our Faculty, the Newton blond blithely committed himself to extra- curricular instruction in Spanish, dancing, piano and ski-ing. That this all-around development would one day pay dividends was demonstrated quite recently when Bud junior made a selection in the stock market that proved to be better than the choice of a more experienced adviser. We do think, however, that in the time to come he will probably change his present conviction that it takes 330,000 a year to live comfortably. A good student in the scientific branches of learning, Bill would be tremendously pleased to learn that Latin had been outlawed. Under Fr. Harrington's tutelage, he gained immensely from membership in the Science Club and even found time to sharpen up his argumentative talents by verbal exchanges in the Debating Society. Socially Bud was rather an enigma for at times he could not even remember the name of his charming companion and yet on other occasions he could be a fascinat- ing conversationalist quite ready to discuss the vagaries of Modern Art. Although he was a backfield candidate in his Junior year, Bud much preferred to play his sports on an informal plane. His devotion to the great outdoors made him a ski-ing enthusiast and he was highly pleased to be made a member of the Ski Patrol at Brae Burn. As an Alpine Club member he made the annual trek to the North Country and on local slopes even persuaded his father to risk life and limb. Yachting and Tennis competed for his attention in the Summer time and he was the proud skipper of his own 110. To make the Winter more alatable, he was among the first to join the newly-formed Swimming Club and to take advan- tage of the weekly sessions at near-by pools. Whatever the season, he could always keep in an athletic atmosphere by stepping into his dad's shop to greet the, devotees of all sports. To prepare himself for the commercial world, Bill will matriculate either at Holy Cross or Georgetown. Smooth sailing, Bud, and may we meet you often on the cruise of life! -I 22 1-
