as 55 ii My 7' tl i ji' va Q. 5.5 'MAssAf-9 PAUL KIMBALL MCDONALD Angus - Mac You will remember Paul singing I Want a Different Girl for Every Month of the Year in the First Minstrel Show and acting as interlocutor in the St. Sebastian Follies of 1949. Smooth, urbane and well-poised in the latter role, he did a superb job and then added to his laurels by rendering Faraway Places and Cruising Down the River. The last number was a duet with Miss joan Crowley and it has been reported that it occasioned considerable worry to Bob Murphy, joining our Freshman Class a bit belatedly, Mac was made to feel perfectly at home when Father Keating coined the nickname Angus for him, Early in his career at St. Sebastian's, he was interviewed publicly by Father Beatty and the ability he manifested on that occasion probably earned him his nomination to The Walrus staff. Later he rose to the eminence of Ulnquiring Reporter on the School paper and he contributed biographical material for the personal life-stories of classmates for The Arrow. iWhen Debating was inaugurated here at the School, Paul had the necessary forensic skill to compete with success and the result was that he appeared in the two Prize Debates. As a Senior, he and john Moore were voted the winning side, Paul's eloquence and rebuttal doing much to gain the decision. More at home in the extra-curricular activities mentioned above than in sports, Paul liked to take an occasional Hyer at Tennis and there is pictorial evidence extant to prove that he steered in his first serve with the aid of his tongue. A good dancer and a young man who seemed to belong in a Tux, the Newton Centre lad had all the social graces and could always be relied on to carry the conversational ball, Toothaches meant trips to Worcester for him and he will always recall the visit on which the power failed the dentist at the critical moment. While'he regarded Physics as a complete waste of time, he did well in his studies and was especially appreciative of Mr, Walsh's round- table sessions in the Library. On Father Keatings test papers his keen wit manifested itself in the creation of various pseudonyms, Certain to do well wherever he goes, Paul has not yet decided on the college of his choice. Keep smiling all your days, Paul, and we shall follow your career with interest and loyalty. y 1-I 51 I-: l s if oorir Hunny not it-4 W ive cgor aL 2 PLENTYOF f 'Q TIME Lf -D ggi C' ...f X

So I ssz TO golzusrel N l, f'iiii2f-! .ffm- fl if l f Z 49 p 00' ,gl in 2: at igmlg 4 ,ia 6' Wussr-09 JOSEPH FRANCIS MCCARTHY UIUC., The records list Joe McCarthy as a resident of the West End of Boston, but, ac- cording to the reports of impartial observers, he spends at least as much time in Brighton as he does in his home bailiwick. In the Summer, Marshfield enters the picture and he may be seen at the wheel of a flashy new convertible making the round of South Shore resorts. joe joined our class last September and his ready friendliness won him acceptance immediately, Bull sessions during recess periods proved him quite a raconteur of per- sonal experiences, most of which were prefaced with One day, Bornstein and I- . In Math and Physics our new comrade proved himself especially sharp, and he could always be relied upon to formulate a method of approach that was rief as well as correct. As his contribution to the Science Fair, joe did a great deal of research on bridges and turned in a treatise that was enthusiastically received by Father Harrington. For English and allied subjects, the 6'2 lad could not work up such a keen relish and Father Sylvester was often heard inquiring Do you work nights, Mr. McCarthy? , Truth to tell, Joe made a hobby of prolonged sleeps and quite often he made his appearance here without having given himself a Toni , Reporting for Football last Fall, joe soon formed fast friendships with fellow gridders like Ebber Ryan and Reed Gomperts. As a tackle, he proved himself a fine defensive player and on one occasion his eagerness to nail a ball-carrier cost him some chipped teeth 'when Tom Green arrived at joe's objective simultaneously. When Water Polo happened to us, the Boston boy was one of the first enthusiasts to sign up but he was forced to forego the sport on account of a sinus condition. Joe's future will revolve around an architectural engineering career and he plans to prepare for it at Boston College, with Norwich also a contender for his favor, Your days with us were all too brief, joe, so be suregthat you keep a bridge between yourself and the Class of '49 and use it frequently. :-l 50 l-:

1 i THATIS No.5..woup5n wHA'r HE GETS wneu ' Hes HEALTW OO r, t- I I I be 'tf bs' l',vFQB+5Sih w +lf + t w 'SQB ct ROBERT FRANCIS MURPHY Bob - --Murph Credit for catapulting the School's name into headlines must be given to Bob Murphy, not only because of his Hockey exploits but also because of his part in the lost-at-sea episode of 1947. Rumor has it that he never moved on that voyage any more than he moves on a dance floor. A Newton resident, Murph has been responsible for inflicting Henry Lane on the School and, in his early days here, was also responsible for many useless ties and T shirts. Friends of Bob will always revere the memory of his late, lamented Dad who made a St. Sebastian jacket the equivalent of a ticket for a box seat at Boston Garden. Gifted with the knack of making and keeping friends, Murph is as much at home in the Lane household as in his own and has taken a leading part in equestrian exploits at Westwood, Locally, he and The Splendid Splinter were seen often at Ellen Kelly's and the Totem Pole, although he has graduated recently to the clientele of The Meadows. At Falmouth last summer, he essayed the role of cook for Lane and Green, only to be rewarded by the necessity of maintaining an all- night vigil in order to protect his car-fare to Boston, On occasion, Bob has acted as porter for the baggage o Jack Boyle and a fair friend, but generally he is in the Number 1 spotlight as he was on the second night of this year's Minstrel Show. Ever since his entrance to St. Sebastian's, Murph has figured prominently in School athletics. Beginning as a Freshman center, he changed over to an end post during his Sophomore and Junior years and then ended his moleskin career as the Varsity climax runner. Gridiron enthusiasts will always remember his valiant completion of a jack Boyle aerial in the end zone that tied the Cambridge Latin game of '47 and set the stage for our victory, So great was his sense of loyalty to his team that he insisted on playing his regular position the day after his Dad was buried, In Hockey, Bob inherited the mantle of the legendary Mui and became the' Mr, Hockey of his day, For two successive years he was the outstanding individual player in the Catholic League and we all recall the time that he celebrated his conquest of pneumonia by scoring five goals in the first game he appeared in after his illness. A good golfer, he represented the School in that sport also and turned in fine scores for Father Hannigan, Lured by B.C.'s national championship of last season, Murph is planning on re- joining Mui in Maroon and Gold spangles. May life be good to you, Bob, and may we meet often to reminisce over the happy days we spent at St. Sebastian's. :-l 52 I-:
