Fish -- Hilt Hilt was the first of three Collupy brothers to make an appearance at St. Sebastian's and he has had a most colorful career here on the Hill. Always ready to see the humor in a situation, he developed a special interest in Father Harrington and once engaged him in a duel - with water pistols. Far from being a socialite, Fish prefers the environment and facilities of his own home and takes full advantage of them. A Helpful Henry in the house, his painting, carpentry and odd-job forays have been expensive to his father, not to mention the installation of the Basketball court in his backyard. That Basket- ball court was constantly guarded by Hilt in the Winter time, lest his brothers turn it into a Hockey rink, Although he attended proms regularly, the eldest Collupy seemed to stand in awe of girls and his greatest problem was what to use for conversational material when in their company. Behind the wheel of the familiar green DeSoto, he had the unusual philosophy that to drive slowly was to court accidents and he revelled in the long trips made by the School's athletic teams, Despite the fact that English was his favorite class, Fish was often taken ill on examination days in that subject, but he always managed to make a quick recovery and reported back with the test matter well in hand. While he would be the last to admit it, Hilt is undoubtedly one of the finest all round athletes developed at St. Sebastian's. ln Football, he was a tall, rangy end who was an ideal pass target and a sure-fisted receiver who gave a home to Jack Boyle's and Tommy Green's aerials. His clutches in the first St. john's Prep and Hopkins games were especially memorable, and he can also cherish the recollection of the oval he hugged in the end zone to give us a 7-0 decision over St. Clement's in '47, Basketball was more popular with Fish and he played it zestfully, not permitting even a dislocated shoulder to keep him out of a Tournament play-off game, A great center and board clearer on the court, he was equally great as our Mr. Shortstop on the diamond, and his base-running caused pitchers many an ulcer. To ring down the curtain on his Red and Black Baseball career, he had the satisfaction of hitting a prodigious home run that came within an ace of winning a plaque for himself and his Blues. Off to neighboring Boston College, Hilt takes with him a host of friendships and memories. Godspeed to your every effort, Hilt, and may we have occasion to see you often on the paths of life!

couuypraiu H 'tw -l-ll refs I X. J ' ssa lps JAMEs JosEPH COLEMAN, JR. ll-lim!! An old tune bewails the fact that it is a long way to Tipperary, but Jim Coleman maintains that it is even farther to West Roxbury. For two years now our sandy-haired classmate has been using his charm to obtain transportation to and from St. Sebastian's and by this time he has such a long list of patrons that he is able to pick and choose the best of several cars each day. On first impression, jim's drawl and mild manner disposi- tion were very deceptive to us and we did not suspect the bubbling humor and genuine friendliness that we discovered later. To the classroom, jim brought superlative talents in the sciences and it was no cause of surprise to us when he walked off with First Honors in Physics, Despite the ease with which he grasped all angles of scientific problems, he was always willing to trace out a process step by step for less fortunate c assmates. At the Science Fair, Sandy demonstrated the technique of raising submerged wrecks from the depths of the sea and his exhibit was roundly praised by the highly impressed judges. Not one to shatter the decorous silence of the classroom, Jim preferred to save his quips for the informal atmosphere of Dick Keelan's car and on occasion he was known to patronize the West Roxbury version of Highland Hall. As a junior, the West Roxbury lad reported for Football and saw some service at an end post, but it was reserved for his Senior year to bring him into the spotlight of prominence, Going into the Thayer game, the Red and Black was without the services of a punter because of injuries to Murph and Gibby who had taken care of that depart- ment. Without any previous experience, Jim was sent in to kick with the ball deep in our territory early in the game and he got off a sky-scraping punt that traveled from the St. Sebastian 25 to the Thayer 11 where it bounced sharply and went out of bounds. After that we had no worries about the kicking department and Jim's fine booting was responsible to a great degree for the inspiring game that the Arrows put up against a powerful foe. Short passes were also a Coleman specialty, for he gave many of Tom Green's bullets a good home. As these lines are written, jim is rather undecided about his future, Although his college prospects are bright, he may decide to enter his dad's business at once and comiplete his education by part-time courses. Whatever he essays in life is bound to yiel him success and he knows that his St. Sebastian classmates will always be his most loyal' boosters. :-I 27 I-1

to-P J- i pfsg, -f :tiff-f-'galil 2 W l ft J H s i f 'MASSAGX RICHARD PAUL COLLUPY Dick - Minnow I Minstrel Show patrons of the past two years need no introduction to Minnow , His Whippenpoof Song in the '48 extravaganza and his Figaro this Spring convulsed the audiences on both occasions. We Hrst heard of him as Fish's brother, and what could be more natural than that he also be given an Isaak Walton nicknameg hence the Minnow . For four years now we have been enjoying the mirthful gleam in his eyes and the gravel tones which he employed in conversations as well as recitations. Habitually a peaceful citizen, he saw no incongruity in violent arguments with Hilt and he could very easily be induced to horseplay between classes and during recess. Always able to keep the academic situation under control, he became Father Flanigan's authority on Virgilian similes as well as Father Harrington's Question Man. Socially, Dick is a lion and his conquests are too numerous to mention. On the dance floor, he is grace personified and could easily be mistaken for Arthur Murray. The annual Alpine ex- cursions will always rate among his fondest memories of St. Sebastian's: the time that he uprooted a lady skier, the dance at which his fair partner won the first fall with a body slamg the night for early morningj that he was doused by Bill O'Brieng the oc- casion on which he was the victim of jack Cochran's revealing flash-light photography. As a Freshman, Dick was almost the innocent cause of a heart attack when he asked his father if he could buy Football paraphernalia to play with Father Keating's J.V.'s. The consent obtained, he proceeded to become a game lineman who saw service mostly at a tackle st. When Hilt turned to Basketball, Minnow figured he could do the same and, alfhough he played mostly Second Team ball, he lived to see the day when he contributed four points to the Varsity total in a game against Coyle. In the Spring, he exhibited his boundless energy on the Tennis Court and showed skill enough to repre- sent the School in Varsity competition. His final Spring was spent as Official Scorer for the Baseball team and he coolly decided between hits and errors with a competent complacency. Even when he was not taking part, the Minnow exhibited a loyalty to St. Sebastian athletic teams that was exceeded only by his father's. Boston College bound, Dick leaves with a multitude of friends and the best wishes of his classmates for a future as blithely serene as the four years he spent on Nonantum Hill. Au revoir, Minnow! 29 I-1 'jg Xi 7440 Wi o' 'O f AR cv' 'fc J'
