FRIENDS OF THE CLASS OF 1948 In publishing this record of our St. Sebastian days, we have been given every encouragement by the enthusiastic response of many friends who have patronized The Arrow of 1948. We take this opportunity to express our profound gratitude to them and to voice the hope that they will see in the finished work an indication of our effort to live up to the confidence they reposed in us.

5 an fs 4 H 4 ' . will q'MAs f-V ROGER FRANCIS VORCE RAJAH Class Secretary 1 Choir 1, 2, 3 junior Prom Committee XValrus Staff 1, 2, 3, fliditorj 4 Senior Debating Society 4 French Circle 4 Built more like a sunflower than a rose, Roger nevertheless has all the blushing proclivities of an American Beauty. Four years ago he made his way here from Belmont, a shy, modest and blushing little boy. Today he tips the scales at 208, blushes only infrequently and is no longer shy. The reasons for this metamorphosis are many: first, he discovered that he could handle anything that the Faculty thrust upon him, although he was willing to admit some lack of proficiency in the Latin department, second, as a Walms reporter and later as Editor-in-chief, he found that he could not only interview a member of the Faculty without faint- ing, but also could write up an account of the experience sanelyg third, he learned how to smoke cigarettes fwith or without a holderj, drive a car fsmoking at the same timej, and appreciate the fact that the feminine segment of humanity plays a part in the comedy of life. Roger has always been a good student, but undoubtedly he would have won more honors, had it not been for an ear that cravcd Guy Lombardo melodies during the witching hours of evening study periods. Another, but minor, distraction has been his habit of collecting interesting things like stamps and autographs. His School spirit brought him to almost every athletic contest our teams engaged in and the long trip to New Haven last Fall did not daunt him a bit. According to reliable information received, that Hopkins junket marked his first coming to grips with The Law . Feeling a pang of hunger on the journey home, our hero stopped the car at an apple orchard and pickedosome luscious fruit just as a prowl car happpened along. Reprimanded for is deed, he was heard to cry out in an agony of remorse: Crime does not pay . Athletic honors in the Vorce family go to his sister, Mary Lee, as ardent a St. Sebastian rooter as her brother, but Roger did throw himself into j. V. Football in his first year. As a disciple of Isaak Walton, however, he spent a great part of his Summers angling and one day a saga will be built around a furious battle which he had with a tuna that he hooked OH Cape Ann and eventually conquered three days later in the vicinity of Deer Island. As he leaves our midst, the Belmont citizen is tending in the general direction of Medical School, with the idea of specializing on the heart, the source of altogether too much human misery. Ad astra, Rocger, and be sure to carry into your consulta- tions the same charm that characterize your years with us. -I 49 I- IT S ROGERS TURN T0 REU TE v f I r' ,P .. l 7- 5 ,g fn,- V 5
