VERY  REV.  WILLIAM  L  KELEHER,  S.J. 


With  the  turn  of  the  year,  the  committee  in 
charge  of  the  Public  Campaign  decided  to  ter- 
minate the  activity  of  the  District  Committee. 
While  our  quota  was  not  readied,  we  feel  that 
we  have  gone  about  as  far  as  we  can  go  in  this 
particular  area  and  after  a  careful  study  of  the 
situation  arrived  at  our  decision.  Let  me  take 
the  occasion  now  to  thank  most  sincerely  the 
local  chairmen  who,  under  the  direction  of  Mr. 
Garrity,  served  so  loyally  and  generously  in 
their  respective  areas.  I  think  I  appreciate  the 
difficulties  you  faced  and  so  now  I  congratulate 
you  most  earnestly  for  what  has  been  accom- 
plished. 

As  a  by-product  of  the  campaign  a  year  ago  and 
of  this  last  campaign  we  hoped  for  a  rebirth  of 
the  local  Boston  College  Clubs.  I  note  with  in- 
terest and  pleasure  that  many  of  these  clubs  are 
reorganized  and  I  sincerely  hope  that  others  will 
follow  their  lead.  Many  thanks  and  my  congra- 
tulations go  out  to  those  individuals  and  clubs 
which  have  reorganized,  and  to  them  I  promise 
the  full  cooperation  of  the  College  in  all  their 
interests  and  activities. 

In  other  fields  of  the  campaign  we  shall  go  on 
hoping  that  the  spring  of  1948  will  be  as  happy 
as  was  the  spring  of  1947  and  that  Alumni  Day 
in  June  will  afford  an  occasion  for  us  to  an- 
nounce success  again.  There  remains  about 
$200,000.  to  be  reached,  if  we  are  to  attain  our 
goal  this  year  as  we  did  a  year  ago,  and  I  feel 
that  with  the  cooperation  of  all  this  goal  can  be 
attained. 

Speaking  with  the  students  here  at  the  College, 
I  find  one  objection  frequently  repeated,  a  ques- 
tion put  to  them  by  the  Alumni:  "Where  is  the 
money  we  gave  for  the  Memorial  Gymnasium?" 
To  clear  up  an  apparent  difficulty,  let  me  assure 


yon  that  the  promise  we  made  a  year  ago  has 
been  fulfilled,  that  the  money  is  still  here  intact 
as  yon  gave  it  to  us  and  will  remain  so  until  we 
can  put  il  t<>  the  purpose  for  which  it  was  do- 
nated. II'  the  Alumni  body  feels  that  the  amount 
which  has  been  contributed  will  erect  a  suitable 
memorial  to  their  sons  and  brothers,  I  am  ready 
to  go  ahead.  If  on  the  other  hand,  they  would 
prefer  to  build  this  fund  until  we  can  erect  a 
fitting  memorial  to  our  war  dead,  then  we  shall 
delay.  Personally,  I  lean  towards  the  latter  plan. 
However,  it  is  the  contribution  of  the  Alumni 
and  I  feel  that  you  should  make  the  decision  in 
this  matter. 

I  must  remind  all  again  of  the  change  of  dates 
for  the  applications  for  the  class  entering  in 
September  1948.  All  applications  should  be  filed 
at  the  College  before  March  1st  and  the  exam- 
inations are  scheduled  for  early  in  April.  May  I 
ask  all  who  are  interested  to  cooperate  with  us 
in  this  matter  in  order  that  the  already  over- 
burdened staffs  in  the  offices  of  our  various 
Deans  may  clear  applications  in  good  time  and 
get  back  to  the  successful  applicants  word  of 
acceptance  at  an  early  date. 

We  have  made  every  effort  here  to  acknowledge 
all  contributions  to  our  Building  Fund  Cam- 
paign. Perhaps  we  have  slipped  in  cases,  so  I 
take  this  occasion  to  communicate  to  all  my  own 
sincere  appreciation  and  that  of  all  at  Boston 
College  for  the  generous  support  given  us  by  the 
members  of  our  Alumni  Association.  We  thank 
you  sincerely  for  what  you  have  done  yourselves 
and  all  the  fine  contacts  and  friends  you  have 
made  for  the  College.  It  is  our  sincere  wish  and 
prayer  that  the  graduates  of  the  College  will 
measure  up  to  the  confidence  you  and  our  friends 
have  placed  in  us  this  year. 


ALUMNI    N  EWS 


THE     HISTORY    OF 
BOSTON  COLLEGE5 

How  well  do  you  know  Boston  College?  How 
well  does  any  alumnus  know  his  college?  You 
know,  of  course,  your  own  classmates,  with  whom 
you  spent  four  years.  You  know,  too,  the  three 
classes  that  preceded  your  own,  or  at  least  the 
more  prominent  members  of  these  classes.  You 
know,  probably  less  well,  the  three  classes  that 
followed  yours.  You  know  the  campus,  the  build- 
ings, one  or  more  of  the  rectors,  and  many  of  the 
faculty.  Very  specially,  you  know  the  football 
teams  and  perhaps  the  baseball  and  basketball 
and  hockey  and  track  teams.  If  you  have  a  fair 
share  of  college  spirit,  you  have  attended  ban 
quets  and  reunions,  and  have  looked  with  equal 
amazement  at  the  old  fogies  who  give  allegiance 
to  numerals  that  antedate  your  birth,  and  the 
very  young  fry  who  could  not  conceivably  have 
finished  a  regular  college  course.  All  in  all,  you 
know  your  college  only  in  a  very  limited  way, 
and  in  relation  to  a  narrow  period  of  time.  You 
belong  to  a  definite  college  generation,  which  has 
heard  reports  of  the  "good  old  days,"  but  which 
has  no  integrated,  balanced  and  complete  picture 
of  the  College  as  a  whole,  in  the  full  sweep  of 
its  history. 

This  was  true  of  the  writer  and  of  his  friends, 
as  well  as  of  the  rest  of  the  Alumni.  It  would 
necessarily  remain  true  until  some  tireless  soul 
would  take  on  the  long,  tedious,  meticulous  task 
of  research  and  compilation,  and  then  set  forth 
the  results  in  a  History  of  Boston  College  which 
would  be  complete  and  accurate,  and  at  the  same 
time  interesting  and  readable.  It  is  true  no 
longer  for  this  reviewer,  and  need  not  be  true 
for  you.  The  research  and  compilation  has  been 
done :  in  the  archives  of  Boston  College  and  other 
Jesuit  houses  in  the  United  States  and  Rome; 
in  the  archives  of  the  Archdiocese  of  Boston 
and  elsewhere;  in  contemporary  reports  in  the 
daily  papers,  the  Pilot,  the  Stylus  and  elsewhere ; 
in  magazine  articles  and  books.  The  data  thus 
revealed,  surprisingly  rich  and  colorful,  has  been 
compiled  and  organized,  so  that  the  apparatus 
of  learning  is  nowhere  embarrassing  to  a  non- 
technical reader,  and  yet  is  present  to  guide  pro- 
fessional historians  in  further  studies-  The  text 
itself  is  lucid,  and  the  narrative  runs  smoothly 
and  well.  Granted  a  reader  who  is  interested  in 
the  College,  the  new  History  will  be  not  merely 
informative,  but  fascinating  as  well- 
Quite  properly  and  of  necessity,  Father 
Dunigan  has  restricted  his  History  to  the  Col- 
lege itself..  He  does  not  treat,  save  in  passing 
mention,  the  history  of  athletics:  Nat  Hasenfus, 
'22,  has  done  that  well.  There  is  no  attempt  to 
tell  the  story  of  the  Alumni,  —  who  they  were, 
and  what  they  did :  these  records  must  be  sought 
elsewhere.   But  it  is  the  story  of  Boston  College 


''A  History  of  Boston  College"  was  re- 
viewed by  Rt.  Rev.  Eric  F.  MacKenzie, 
President  of  the  Class  of  1914  and  Pastor 
of  the  Sacred  Heart  Church,  Newton. 

The  author,  Rev.  David  R.  Dunigan,  S.  J., 
is  a  member  of  the  Boston  College  faculty. 


itself,  in  all  its  origins:  what  new  thing  hap- 
pened, when  ,how  and  why. 

To  this  reviewer  at  least,  the  beginning  and 
the  end  are  the  most  interesting  pages:  how  the 
College  actually  began,  and  how  and  why  it  has 
expanded,  in  modern  times,  in  all  its  various 
schools  and  courses.  There  are  124  pages  needed 
to  describe  the  slow  and  difficult  preparations 
for  the  first  awarding  of  AB's,  in  1877:  an  in- 
spiring history  of  dogged  faith  and  unconquer- 
able enthusiasm  which  won  victory  over  obstacles 
of  every  sort,  economic,  social  and  political ;  and 
there  are  about  140  pages  to  tell  of  the  modern 
period  of  the  College,  since  it  came  to  University 
Heights,  filled  with  information  as  to  all  the 
developments  in  college  activities  since  that 
memorable  day. 

But  above  all  else,  the  History  gives  a  unified 
perspective.  In  its  beginnings,  its  middle  years, 
or  these  its  latest  days,  the  College  lived  its  own 
organic  life,  independently  of  (though  influenced 
by)  the  ever-changing  rectors  and  professors  and 
students.  There  was  and  is  a  constant  purpose: 
to  bring  to  each  latest  generation  a  disciplined 
training  in  the  accumulated  wisdom  of  the  ages ; 
in  religion  and  philosophy  and  the  arts  and 
sciences.  A  basic  plan  of  operation  is  constant: 
but  the  form  and  direction  and  extent  of  action 
varies  as  do  the  times  and  the  opportunities  of 
the  day.  To  see  this  and  to  appreciate  it,  is  to 
acquire  a  new  understanding  of  what  Boston 
College  was  and  is.  It  is  a  necessary  and  inspir- 
ing viewpoint  for  every  Alumnus ;  it  should  be  a 
required  reading  for  every  undergraduate.

CANDLEMAS  LECTURES 

The  Declan  X.  McMullen  Company  of  New 
York  (225  Broadway)  announces  the  publication 
of  last  year's  Candlemas  Lectures  on  Christian 
Literature.  "The  Heresy  of  Courtly  Love",  by 
the  Rev.  Alexander  J.  Denomy,  C.S.B.,  Ph.D., 
of  the  Pontifical  Institute  of  Medieval  Studies, 
has  already  been  highly  praised  as  a  most  val- 
uable contribution  to  the  study  of  medieval 
literature  in  general  and  an  unusually  keen 
analysis  of  the  origin  and  character  of  courtly 
love  in  particular.  The  author,  who  is  editor  of 
the  scholarly  journal  Medieval  Studies  and  who 
was  awarded  a  Guggenheim  Fellowship  during 
the  past  year,  is  known  as  one  of  the  best  medi- 
evalists of  our  time.  In  his  lecture  he  traces  the 
idea  of  romantic  and  passionate  love  current  in 
modern  life  and  literature  back  to  its  source: 
Courtly  Love,  the  literary  invention  of  the  Pro- 
vencal troubadours  of  the  early  12th  century. 
He  discusses  the  basic  features  of  that  invention, 
and  attempts  to  explain  the  anomaly  of  its  ap- 
pearance in  a  Christian  age  as  a  phase  of  the 
enduring  influence  of  Arabian  philosophy  on 
Christian  thought. 

The  volume,  which  makes  a  dignified  and 
handsome  appearance  in  a  maroon  and  gold 
binding,  carries  an  introduction  by  the  Rev. 
William  Lane  Keleher,  S.J.,  President  of  Boston 
College.  Copies,  which  sell  for  §1.50.  may  be  had 
from  the  publisher  or  at  the  Boston  College 
Bookstore. 

The  Candlemas  Lectures  for  194S  were  given 
on  February  1  and  8  in  the  College  Library  by 
Dr.  Bernard  M.  Peebles,  of  St.  John's  College, 
Annapolis.  Dr.  Peebles'  subject  was  "The  Poet 
Prudentius."

FOOTBALL 

The  football  season  is  now  a.  matter  of  history 
—  a  season  of  live  victories  and  four  defeats. 
Since  the  entire  year,  with  the  exception  of  the 
Jloly  Cross  game,  was  covered  in  the  December 
issue,  there  is  no  point  in  repetition  here.  The 
Holy  Cross  game  was  crushing  from  a  Boston 
viewpoint,  for  the  Crusaders  roared  to  town  in 
a  game  sparked  by  the  splendid  play  of  a  Holy 
Cross  backfield  that  played  its  best  game  of  the 
year.  Bobby  Sullivan  and  Bobby  Farrell  were 
outstanding,  as  they  followed  devastating  inter- 
ference, especially  on  the  Holy  Cross  single  wing- 
offensive.  Our  lads  fell  victim  to  the  three  major 
errors  of  the  season — fumbles,  penalties,  and 
offsides,  else  the  purple  tinge  would  not  have 
been  so  pronounced.  Bright  spots  of  a  dull  and 
cheerless  afternoon  were  the  fight  that  the  Eagles 
showed  in  the  last  quarter  and  the  fact  that  they 
did  not  quit  even  in  the  face  of  discouragement. 

BASKETBALL 

Basketball  is  having  a  successful  year,  for  the 
play  of  the  five  is  far  smoother  now  that  it  no 
longer  depends  on  the  lanky  Elmore  Morgan- 
thaler.  The  present  record  of  five  victories  and 
three  defeats  is  very  creditable  to  the  coach  and 
the  team.  Siena  College  cahght  the  Eagles  prac- 
ticeless  during  the  Christmas  holidays  and  de- 
feated them  twice,  but  except  for  this  New  York 
State  team,  the  only  club  to  down  B.  C.  was 
Rhode  Island  State,  perennial  top-notcher. 

The  season  opened  with  a  76-58  loss  at  Rhode 
Island.  Here  Tom  O'Brien  vied  with  Ken  Good- 
win for  scoring  honors.  O'Brien  gives  notice 
that  he  may  become  B.  C.'s  best  basketeer  since 
the  days  of  Tommy  Murphy.  Lining  up  for  the 
new  edition  of  the  Eagles  were  Carr,  Woolf, 
Higgins,  Kenney,  Letvinchuk,  Crimmins,  Fitz- 
gerald, O'Brien,  Ryan,  Stagoff,  and  Strug.  Dan 
Bricker,  Brooklyn  star,  was  outstanding  in  a 
thrilling  67-61  win  over  St.  Anselm,  for  the  tall 
sophomore  scored  IS  points,  closely  followed  by 
O'Brien  with  17  and  by  Letvinchuk  with  13.  The 
good  work  continued  against  A.  I.  C,  66-51,  Bos- 
ton leading  all  the  way.  Kenney,  highest  scorer 
in  other  years,  but  victim  of  an  operation,  had 
an  excellent  night,  but  Bricker,  Letvinchuk, 
O'Brien,  and  Carr  scored  the  most  points.  Hig- 
gins was  excellent,  and  Mort  Stagoff  did  well. 

Harvard  was  beaten  in  a  distinct  upset,  62-50, 
a  victory  made  possible  by  the  superb  play  turned 
in  by  O'Brien  and  Bricker.  Higgins  had  a  field 
day  as  B.  C.  gained  some  meed  of  satisfaction 
for  a  long  Crimson  series  without  a  previous 
Boston  triumph. 

Siena  College  defeated  the  Eagles  twice,  both 
at  Albany  and  at  Boston.    Team  play  was  lack- 

ALUMNI    NEWS 


ing  and  shooting  was  entirely  off,  as  the  Sienans 
won  59-50  and  51-31.  On  the  road  the  Eagles  led 
until  i lie  end;  at  home  they  were  never  in  the 
hunt,  although  Bricker  starred.  Two  victories 
over  highly-rated  clubs  followed  the  Siena  series, 
for  Providence  was  outscored  62-43  and  Man- 
hall  an  66-57.  Both  visitors  were  prime  favorites, 
but  an  ever-improving  team  play  and  the  shoot- 
ing of  Higgins,  Stagoff,  Bricker,  O'Brien  and 
Letvinchuk  made  victory  possible. 

HOCKEY 

The  hockey  team  has  outdone  the  most  san- 
guine hopes  of  Coach  Kelley,  for  at  present 
only  Harvard  has  trimmed  the  Eagles,  while  the 
outstanding  upset  of  the  year  was  provided  by 
the  Maroon  when  it  won  4-3  over  Jeremiah's 
great  Dartmouth  six.  Excellent  play  by  Bernie 
Burke  at  goal,  by  Songin  at  defense,  and  the 
hustle  of  the  whole  team  have  turned  the  season 
into  a  pleasant  surprise.  Harvard  edged  the 
Maroon  1-3,  when  Bob  Mason's  goal  was  short 
by  one  to  catch  the  lead  taken  by  the  Crimson. 
B.  C.'s  goals  were  scored  by  Songin,  Gallagher, 
and  Mason.  Devens  College,  new  member  of  the 
N.  E.  League,  was  beaten,  4-2;  then  M.  I.  T., 
despite  the  loss  of  both  defense  regulars,  Songin 
and  Gallagher,  injured  in  an  automobile  acci- 
dent, and  lost  to  the  team  for  weeks.  A  wild- 
and-wooly  thriller  ended  in  a  7-6  victory  over 
Northeastern,  when  Mahler  drove  in  the  clincher. 

The  return  of  Songin  was  a  deciding  factor  in 
the  Dartmouth  game,  for  he  led  such  an  assault 
on  the  Green  net  that  the  Eagles  astounded  the 
ice  followers  in  a  thrilling  upset  victory,  4-3,  in 
one  of  the  best  games  ever  played  at  the  Arena. 
To  the  Kelleymen  went  the  honor  of  being  the 
second  team  to  defeat  the  Indians  in  three 
years.  Threadgold  was  the  high  scorer,  with  two 
tallies,  Songin  scored  one  himself,  while  Johnny 
Kelley  drove  in  the  fourth  counter.  Hats  off  to 
Coach  Kelley,  who  is  doing  an  excellent  job ! 

TRACK 

The  track  season  is  in  its  infancy,  yet  we  feel 
that  we  can  have  hopes  that  it  will  be  successful. 
In  Captain  Tom  Greehan  we  have  an  excellent 
leader,  who  has  recovered  his  old  speed,  as  is 
evidenced  by  his  tying  his  old  mark  in  the 
hurdles  when  he  lowered  the  mark  for  the 
NEAAU  meet  in  Maiden  to  5.2,  and  also  for  his 
eye-lash  and  not  unquestioned  loss  to  Matt 
Branche  at  the  Y  meet.  At  Huntington  Ave., 
Ryder's  boys  did  not  do  badly,  for  among  the 
heat  winners  or  point  scorers  on  a  very  much 
abbreviated  B.  C.  entry  list  were  Greehan,  Gil 
Walker,  Irving  Howe,  Sarkis  Dakasian,  Richard 
Newhouse,  and  Ed.  Caskin. 


OUTING  CLUB 

New  to  the  Alumni  is  the  latest  sports  activity 
on  the  Heights,  the  Outing  Club.  This  club 
opened  its  intercollegiate  career  with  a  notable 
victory  over  Brown,  Tufts  and  Northeastern  at 
West  Ossipee.  The  new  sport,  organized  a  year 
ago,  made  its  debut  at  the  invitation  of  the 
Northeastern  Skiers  Carnival  Committee,  and 
scored  144  points  to  edge  out  Brown  by  one 
point,  Northeastern  by  3.3  and  Tufts  by  3-7.  The 
meet  was  featured  by  slalom  races,  in  which  the 
skier  zigzags  through  a  path  of  poles  set  along 
the  course,  and  by  open-trail  races  at  breakneck 
speed.  Mai  Connor  led  the  pack,  scoring  righest 
honors  for  the  day;  John  Ginty  and  Paul  Dono- 
van aided  the  total  by  excellent  work,  while  Bob 
Hardy  took  two  seconds  and  a  third.  Other  scorers 
were  Bob  Scannell  and  Tom  Sweeney.  Other  B.C. 
men  who  competed  were  Paul  Guinee,  disquali- 
fied because  of  a  tumble  when  he  was  on  his  way 
to  victory,  Larry  MacKenzie,  and  Ed  Isaac.

CONNECTICUT  CLUB 

(Several  hundred  people,  including  many 
Alumni  and  members  of  the  Club,  attended  the 
annual  Autograph  Dinner  of  the  St.  Thomas 
More  Crusaders  at  New  Haven  last  November 
twentieth.  The  dinner  was  in  honor  of  Joseph 
Dever,  '42,  on  the  publication  of  his  first  novel, 
"No  Lasting  Home."  The  Crusaders,  who  are  in 
the  forefront  of  Catholic  Action  in  Connecticut, 
arranged  to  have  Ray  Drugan,  '22,  introduce  the 
guest  of  the  evening,  who  autographed  dozens  of 
copies  of  his  book  at  the  conclusion  of  his  talk. 
The  sponsors  considered  the  evening  a  complete 
success,  and  apparently  enjoyed  the  restatement 
of  the  Boston  legend  and  the  B.  C.  saga  as  pro- 
pounded at  the  speaker's  table. 

BOSTON    COLLEGE 


Prominent  among  new  members  now  resident 
in  Connecticut  is  John  J.  Gleason,  '37,  assigned

with  the  FBI  for  more  than  ten  years  and  holds 
a  law  degree  from  National  Law  School,  Wash- 
ington, D.  C. 

Other  Alumni  residing  in  Connecticut  who 
have  not  yet  joined  the  Club  should  notify  Presi- 
dent Joseph  A.  Fitzgerald,  '13,  Superintendent 
of  Schools,  New  Haven,  so  that  they  may  receive 
notices  of  the  club  activities.  His  home  address 
is  102  Barnett  Street. 

Members  have  been  asked  to  forward  sugges- 
tions as  to  the  location  and  program  for  a  meet- 
ing planned  for  the  early  spring.  Unfavorable 
weather  has  prevented  meeting  during  the  winter 
months,  and  some  comment  has  been  received  to 
t  he  effect  that  a  theatre  party,  symphony  concert, 
or  glee  club  recital  might  offer  a  pleasant  eve- 
ning for  all-  If  sufficient  interest  is  shown,  the 
affair  can  he  held  at  New  London,  Bridgeport, 
or  any  city  other  than  New  Haven  and  Hartford, 
where  most  of  the  activities  have  been  centered.

dTlThe  Class  of  1911  held  its  sec- 
ond dinner  within  a  year  at  the 
Hotel  Puritan  Sky  Room  the  night 
before  the  St.  Mary's  game.  Eight- 
een members  attended,  among 
whom  were  the  two  New  Yorkers, 
George  Leonard  and  Leo  Noonan. 
We  were  glad  to  welcome  back 
Father  Tim   Sheehan   whose  illness 

11 


prevented  him  from  attending  the 
May   dinner. 

To  make  up  for  lost  time,  the  Class 
decided  to  hold  two  meetings  a 
year  from  now  on.  A  dinner  the 
night  before  one  of  the  big  football 
games  and  a  get-together  at  the 
Commonwealth  Country  Club  on 
Alumni  Day  after  the  ballgame. 
Later  in  the  evening  attending  the 
Alumni   meeting. 

A  Memorial  Mass  was  celebrated  in 
November  by  Father  Sheehan  for 
the  deceased  members  of  pur  Class, 
twelve  in  number.  This  is  a  custom 
we  hope  to  follow  in  the  years  to 
come. 

Miah  Falvey  was  treasurer  of  the 
Varsity  Club  dinner  held  at  the 
Copley  Plaza  on  January  11.  Mem-

members  of  the  Class  eligible  to 
join  the  Varsity  Club,  among  whom 
are  Fathers  Frank  Cummings,  Joe 
Burke,  Ed  Hartigan,  Al  Finn,  Frank 
Low  and  Tim  Sheehan.  Also  Vin 
Greene,  George  Leonard,  Pat  Mc- 
Donald, John  McEleney  and  Fred 
Dunfey.  Why  not  join  up?

nual  banquet  at  the  Harvard   Club 


12 


on  January  29.  It  was  one  of  the 
finest  ever  held — the  setting  was 
ideal  and  the  food  perfect.  We  were 
surprised  to  see  so  many  of  our 
teachers  present.  Father  Stedler 
came  on  from  Buffalo  and  he  looks 
as  virile  as  he  did  in  1913.  Father 
Geoghan,  who  is  stationed  in  Long 
Island,  is  in  excellent  shape.  Some 
oi  the  other  Jesuits  present  were 
Fathers  Brock,  Wennerberg,  Jack 
Reed,  Jim  Brennan,  Bill  Murphy, 
Tarn  McLaughlin  and  Louis  Logue. 
Frank  Mahoney  impersonated  a 
Monsignor  from  New  Zealand  and

lieved of  his  duties  as  Executive 
Secretary  of  the  Holy  Name  Society 
and  will  devote  all  his  time  to  his 
parish,  St.  James',  Boston. 
Jack  Atkinson  had  all  the  speeches 
recorded  on  a  wire  recorder  and 
perhaps  our  absent  brethren  will 
be  able  to  hear  them  transcribed 
some  day.  By  the  way,  Jack's  fame 
is  growing.  In  a  period  of  two  weeks 
twenty  communties  sought  his  ser- 
vices. 

Dr.  Falvey  left  last  month  for  Cuba 
and  Dr.  Roy  Heffernan  is  due  dowu 
there  this  month  to  give  a  talk  to 
the  Medical  Society. 
We  learned  that  Leo  Daley  had  the 
best  football  assignment  of  the  year. 
He  was  the  umpire  at  the  Sugar

War  Crimes  Prosecution  Commis- 
sion. A  year  ago  while  preparing 
the  case  against  the  defendent  Jack 
interrogated  Tojo  51  times  in  Su- 
garao  prison.  Just  before  taking 
over  the  prosecution  Jack  was  re- 
lieved and  his  place  taken  by  the 
chief  of  counsel  for  the  prosecution, 
Keenan.  We  shall  have  to  wait  to 
find  out  what  the  story  is. 
Tom  McDonough  has  been  with  the 
First  National  Stores  since  the  in- 
corporation of  the  company.  Prior 
to  that  he  was  with  Arthur  Dorr. 
Between  managing  the  store  in  Cod- 
man  Square  (one  of  the  best  in  our 
opinion),  Dorchester,  and  commut- 
ing to  Waban  where  he  lives,  Tom 
has  been  a  busy  fellow.  We  hope  to 
see  him  more  often. 
Father  Gus  Hargedon  has  been 
transferred  as  parish  priest  from 
St.  Patrick's  Church,  Groveland,  to 
Star  of  Sea  Church,  Marblehead. 
Arthur  Doherty  was  in  touch  with 
us  a  year  ago  just  before  he  was 
due  to  visit  Boston.  We  did  not  see 
him  then  nor  have  we  heard  from 
him  since.  Arthur  is  a  manager  in 
Rockland,  Maine,  where  he  has  been 
for  a  number  of  years. 
Father  Joe  Merrick,  S.J.,  is  back  at 
Baghdad  College.  His  Christmas 
Greeting  from  Iraq  consisted  of  his 
Annual  Messenger  of  1947  and  his 
Christmas  Story.  Father  Joe  will 
be  delighted  to  hear  from  class- 
mates. 

Jack  Fleming  and  his  family  have 
extended  Christmas  Greetings  from 
Houston  to  the  class. 
Bill  Welsh  has  been  doing  a  credit- 
able job  as  Superintendent  of 
Schools  in  Peabody.  He  has  served 
on  important  state  committees  of 
school  superintendents. 
Mike  Hickey  is  still  a  resident  of 
Brookline  and  unmarried.  He  has 
been  with  the  Division  of  Employ- 
ment Security  for  the  past  ten 
years.  Mike  promises  that  he  will 
be  more  faithful  in  his  attendance 
at  class  meetings. 
George  O'Day  has  eluded  us  suc- 
cessfully for  years.  We  manage  to

Nick  Petrocelli  reports  that  his  son, 
Joseph,  is  a  freshman  in  the  Busi- 
ness School.  Young  Joe  established 
quite  a  reputation  while  in  B.C.H.S. 
as  a  footballer.  If  his  work  in  school 
permits  he  should  make  the  varsity. 
To  The  Alumni  Secretary: 
At  our  Twenty-Fifth  Anniversary 
we  had  our  first  gathering  which 
brought  the  husbands  and  wives 
together.  Since  then  there  has  de- 
veloped a  friendly  association  a- 
mong  the  wives.  No  doubt  many  of 
them  belong  to  Philc-matheia. 
On  a  smaller  scale  they  have  come 
together  through  our  class  activ- 
ities and  have  become  better  ac- 
quainted with  one  another.  One 
group  has  been  active  in  one  of  the 
larger  organizations,  the  Catholic 
Charitable  Bureau.  Each  summer 
an  informal  day's  outing  for  couples 
is  held  down  on  the  Cape — one  of 
those  parties  where  the  ladies 
bring  the  "eats"  and  each  one  does 
as  he  or  she  wants  to  do.  We  really 
have  a  good  time  and  enjoy  one 
another.  The  ladies  have  indeed 
become  an  auxiliary  to  the  class. 
It  took  us  twenty-five  years  to  de- 
velop this  adjunct.  Perhaps  our  ex- 
perience has  been  that  of  other 
classes.  Perhaps  some  have  matured 
earlier  than  we  did.  However,  I  feel 
it  is  safe  to  say  that  our  class 
spirit  and  loyalty  to  Alma  Mater 
has  improved  through  the  help  of 
our  wives  in  class  activities.  As 
Secretary  of  the  Alumni,  Jack,  per- 
haps you  can  pass  this  on  to  the 
younger  classes  and  encourage  them 
to  get  their  auxiliary  started  soon. 
Yours, 

Tom     Craven

dear  John 

%mi  used  to  worry  about  getting 
these  lines  to  you  before  your  dead- 
line but  from  now  on  i'm  stopping 
that  because  i  want  you  to  know 
that  i  have  signed  a  new  four  year 
contract  with  the  class  on  writing 
these  and  now  with  my  security  i 
will  not  worry  over  anything  but 
character  and  by  that  i  mean  the 
characters  of  19-20  and  as  i  have 
no  news  of  them  for  this  issue  i'm 
calling  on  all  the  members  of  the 
forty  thieves  to  aid  in  a  roundup  of 
jeff  conway,  ed  gervais,  ray  cham- 
pagne, dan  breen  and  joe  burke

ing towards  lake  street  on  a  June 
afternoon  some  twenty  eight  years 
ago  with  a  diploma  under  their 
arm  and  an  education  under  their 
hat  and  a  ticket  each  for  a  trip  on 
the  voyage  of  life  and  what  we 
want  to  know  is  where  they  landed 
and  so  if  anyone  has  any  clues  as 
to  where  they  may  be  located 
please  get  in  touch  with  the  class

GORDON  F.  IRONS 
9  Emmonsdale  Rd.,  West  Roxbury 
d£L  On  December  30,  twenty-six 
members  of  the  Class  attended  the 
Class  banquet  at  the  Hotel  Ven- 
dome.  It  was  an  enjoyable  get- 
together  and  it  was  a  pleasure  to 
see  one  another  again,  especially 
to  see  a  few  fellows  who  had  been 
away  from  Boston  for  a  long  time. 


Morgan  Ryan  was  the  toastmaster 
and  did  an  excellent  job  introducing 
several  classmates  who  spoke  brief- 
ly and  informally.  Those  present 
were  Monsignor  Walter  J.  Furlong, 
Father  John  F.  Donovan,  Father 
William  E.  Culhane,  Father  Edmund 
J.  Haynes,  Jack  Burke,  Frank  Con- 
nors, Arthur  J.  Donovan,  Charlie 
Coyle,  John  Dumas,  Bob  Foy,  John 
J.  Foster,  Thomas  N.  Foynes,  James 
A.  Gookin,  Dr.  I.  Francis  Gregory, 
Edwin  F.  Hannon,  Gordon  Irons, 
Dr.  Vincent  J.  Kelley,  John  J.  Mc-

Mahoney,  John  A.  Mahony,  Hugh 
O'Regan,  Morgan  T.  Ryan,  Eugene 
J.  Sullivan,  Harold  W.  Sullivan,  and 
Judge  John  J.  Sullivan. 
Father  John  F.  Donovan,  pastor  of 
Our  Lady  of  Victory  Church,  Brook- 
lyn, N.Y.,  was  welcomed  by  his 
classmates.  Father  Donovan,  hav- 
ing been  in  Brooklyn  for  many 
years,  has  been  unable  to  attend 
other  meetings  of  the  Class  and 
was  delighted  to  be  present.  He  is 
also  Censor  Librorum  for  the  Dio- 
cese of  Brooklyn. 
Harold  Sullivan  was  asked  to  tell 
about  some  of  his  experiences  since 
he  left  Boston  several  years  ago. 
During  the  war  Harold  was  con- 
nected with  the  Intelligence  Branch 
of  the  service  and  was  commission- 
ed a  lieutenant  colonel.  He  related 
several  interesting  incidents  he  ex- 
perienced while  he  was  in  the  ser- 
vice. Harold  proved  he  still  retains 
his  old-time  ease  and  polish  in 
speaking. 

Charlie  Coyle  was  recently  reap- 
pointed executive  secretary  of  the 
Massachusetts  Hotel  Association  at 
theia-  annual  meeting. 
Tom  Foynes  is  now  president  of  the 
Electric  Mutual  Liability  Insurance

tric Company.  Tom  is  also  Chair- 
man of  the  Board  and  has  twenty- 
six  Boston  College,  Holy  Cross,  and 
Georgetown  men  in  his  company. 
Dr.  I.  Francis  Gregory,  after  living 
many  years  in  Maine,  has  announced 
the  opening  of  his  office  at  837 
Massachusetts  Avenue,  Cambridge, 
Mass.  Dr.  Gregory's  son  is  a  senior 
at  Boston  English  High  School. 
J.   Henry    Higgins  is   Assistant  Su- 


perintendent of  schools  in  Peabody, 
Mass. 

Father  Edmund  J.  Haynes  is  at  St. 
Charles'  Church,  Waltham. 
John    J.    Foster   is   an    attorney   in 
Waltham. 

Ed  Hannon  has  the  important  posi- 
tion of  Referee  in  Bankruptcy  for 
much    of     the    territory     south     of 


Arthur  Donovan  has  been  appointed 
Diocesan  Clerk  of  the  Works  Con- 
struction program  for  the  Arch- 
diocese of  Boston. 
We  were  all  deeply  grieved  to  hear 
of  the  death  of  George  F.  Murray, 
who  passed  away  in  November. 
George  was  assistant  professor  of 
history  at  St.  John's  College,  Brook- 
lyn,   New   York. 

We  extend  our  sincere  wishes  to 
Everett  Ford  for  a  speedy  return  to 
health.

Jubilee  Broadside  of  the  Class  was 
fired  at  the  Parker  House,  Wednes- 
day, February  4,  when  the  annual 
banquet  was  held.  President  Walter 
("Tony")  Camerford  welcomed  the 
fine  outturning  and  Scriptor  acted 
as  chairman  assisted  by  several 
co-chairmen  and  a  committee  of 
over  two  dozen.  Plans  were  made 
for  a  series  of  events  in  connection 
with  the  Silver  Jubilee  celebration 
of  the  class. 

Laetare  Sunday,  this  year,  occurs

been  so  successful  that  undoubtedly 
it  will  be  followed  again  this  year. 
You  will  be  hearing  more  about 
this  through  the  mails. 
We  want  to  get  Father  Norbert 
Mclnnis  back  to  his  rightful  parish 
of  St.  John's  in  Winthrop  after  the 
printer  in  the  previous  issue  walked 
him  from  the  Holy  Name  parade 
to  a  parish  in  Dorchester.  He  didn't 
walk  that  far,  but  Father  Bill  Carty 
did — and  to  his  rightful  station  at 
St.  Ambrose,  Fields  Corner. 
Father  Patrick  H.  Collins,  S.J.  was

FRANCIS     X.    SULLIVAN 

51    Presentation    Rd.,   Brighton   35 

%/»J  The  Christmas  reunion  and 
reception  to  Monsignor  Walter 
Leach  was  a  huge  success.  Thirty- 
eight  members  of  the  Class  braved 
the  mountainous  snow  drifts  and 
biting  cold  weather  to  gather  at  the 
Bostonian  on  December  29. 
Fr.  Joe  Quane,  S.J.  of  Boston  Col- 
lege, spoke  for  the  clergy  of  the 
Class,  while  Fred  Harkins,  Pres- 
ident of  the  Archdiocesan  Holy 
Name  Society,  represented  the  lay- 
men. Monsignor  "Bud"  was  pre- 
sented with  a  set  of  breviaries  as 
a  memento  of  the  occasion,  fitting- 
ly inscribed:  "To  our  beloved  and 
honored  classmate  from  the  Class 
of  '27".  Walter  is  the  first  of  our 
group  to  receive  special  papal  rec- 
ognition. Let's  hope  that  in  the  near 
future  we  may  be  running  testi- 
monials for  others  in  the  Class. 
Among  the  clergy  present  were 
Fathers  Jimmy  Normile,  from 
Brockton,    Bob    Hilton    from   Salem, 


Joe  Lyons  from  Roxbury  and  Jim 
Geary,   S.J.  from  Boston   College. 

Notices  went  out  to  all  the  members 
oi  the  Class  even  to  those  in  Europe 
ar.d  Puerto  Rico.  The  longest  trip 
to  the  reunion  was  made  by  Frank 
Hurley  who  is  principal  of  North 
Arlington  High  School,  North  Arl- 
ington, New  Jersey.  John  Lynch, 
who  proposed  the  December  meet- 
ing last  June,  hopped  a  plane  from 
New  York  at  the  last  moment  and 
appeared  as  was,  without  even  a 
toothbrush.  His  (folks  and  in-laws 
live  around  Boston,  out  Melrose 
way,  I  believe,  so  he  didn't  have  to 
spend  the  night  away  from  friends. 
Dr.  Bob  Welch  popped  in  a  little 
late  from  Brockton.  Charlie  Hay- 
den,  principal  of  Norwood  High 
School,  was  in  attendance  after  an 
absence  of  some  few  years.  He  has- 
n't changed  a  bit.  John  E.  Sullivan 
(Revere)  had  a  good  story  to  tell 
about  his  being  confused  with  John 
E.  (Beaehmont,  now  of  Ashmont). 
The  latter  is  now  assistant  to  the 
president  of  the  Fisher  Business 
College. 

In  the  round  table  discussion  which 
is  always  the  best  part  of  the  eve- 
ning the  usual  and,  we  might  say, 
inevitable,  happened.  There  is  al- 
ways a  "star"  born  on  these  occa- 
sions. If  it  isn't  someone  "putting 
over  the  point"  it  is  another  one 
recounting  his  life's  history  or  the 
vicissitudes  of  married  life,  or  some- 
thing. This  time  Jim  Sullivan  from 
Everett  grabbed  the  spotlight  and 
regaled  the  Class  members  with 
an  account  of  our  civic  duties,  esp- 
ecially as  they  pertained  to  pro- 
curing political  and  professional 
advancement  for  B.C.  men.  Space 
prevents  our  reviewing  the  speech, 
but  those  present  haven't  had  as 
much  fun  since  the  night  we  rode 
with  J.  E.  on  the  Narrow  Gauge  or 
tried  hard  to  put  the  point  over 
with  R.  F. 

About  two  weeks  after  the  meeting 
I  received  a  letter  from  the  Head- 
quarters of  the  Allied  Military  Gov- 
ernment —  British  -  United  States 
Zone,  Free  Territory  of  Trieste, 
from  Lt.  Col.  Leo  Keefe  7177  Mil. 
Gov.  Det.  A.P.O.  209,  c/o  P.M.  New 
York). 

Leo   wrote  "Your  announcement  of 


16 


the  Class  Reunion  for  29  December 
arrived  here  today  (Jan.  5).  While 
I  cannot  attend,  it  is  still  pleasant 
to  receive  the  notices.  The  Alumni 
Magazine  keeps  me  well  posted  so 
that  while  physically  absent,  I  am 
always  with  the  old  gang  in  spirit." 
Leo's  family  is  with  him.  Originally 
he  was  assigned  as  Judicial  Officer 
for  the  Province  of  Venezia,  Guilia, 
having  under  his  direction  all  the 
courts  of  both  the  Italian,  Austrian 
and  Military  Government,  review- 
ing cases  and  occasionally  taking  a 
turn  on  the  bench.  A  scandal  in  the 
Public  Works  Division  caused  au- 
thorities to  place  him  in  charge  of 
that  sphere  also.  He  had  a  chance 
to  travel  a  great  deal  in  Italy — likes 
the  country  very  much.  "The  Ital- 
ians are  an  alert  and  loveable  peo- 
ple." The  present  assignment  will 
last  for  two  years. 
His  closing  paragraph  is  significant 
— "The  Army  i3  a  great  professor. 
My  one  regret  is  that  I  waited  so 
long  before  undertaking  it.  It  is 
gratifying  to  know  that  B.C.  now 
has  an  R.O.T.C.  unit.  You  will  re- 
member many  years  ago  my  ad- 
vocacy of  such  a  measure.  It  would 
have  meant  more  commissions  and 
higher  grades  for  our  graduates. 
In  spite  of  all  that  the  College  did 
a  great  job  in  the  war." 
The  next  meeting  will  take  place 
in  June  when  '27  will  assemble  at 
the  Archdiocesan  Eucharistic  Shr- 
ine of  St.  Clement's  to  offer  up  the 
Holy  Sacrifice  of  the  Mass  for  the 
deceased  members  of  the  Class  who 
now  number  26.  Monsignor  Leach 
will  celebrate  the  Mass. 
Our  sincere  sympathy  is  extended 
to  Ray  Finnegan  upon  the  death  of 
his  mother,  to  Jerry  Sullivan  on  the 
tragic  death  of  his  daughter,  and  to 
Walter  Waldron  upon  the  death  of 
his  mother-in-law. 
Tom  Hayes  was  recently  appointed 
the  first  bail  commissioner  in  Con- 
cord. He  is  also  chairman  of  the 
Veteran's  Housing  committee.

JOHN    J.    SPENCER 
527   Broadway,   South    Boston  27 
Jim    Dean,    the    tallest    member    of 
the  class,  visited  Boston  during  the 
holidays    from   his    Michigan   home 
and   was   disappointed   to  find  that 
the    annual    dinner   was   not   to   be 
held    on    the    customary    Thursday 
after  Christmas  date. 
About   the    dinner,    George    Donald- 
son polled  a  number  of  members  of 
the  class  and  found  that  what  with 
tl^e    increasing    families',    of    class 
members    the    holiday    season    has 
become  so  wearing  that  it  was  be- 
coming more  and  more  difficult  for 
classmates   to  attend. 
It  has  been  determined  to  have  the 
dinner  immediately  after  the  Lent- 
en season  and  class  members  will 
be  notified  in  ample  time. 
Another    caller    about    the    dinner 
was    Leo    Donahue,   the   Somerville 
schoolmaster,  who  has  yet  to  miss 
one. 

Seen  at  the  Varsity  Club  dinner 
at  the  Copley  Plaza,  where  the  fine 
attendance  after  a  disappointing 
football  season  was  a  tribute  to  the

energy  and  organizational  ability 
of  Attorney  John  Mahoney,  our 
class  president,  who  served  as 
chairman,  were  Gene  McLaughlin, 
Attorney  Henry  Leen  and  your  cor- 
respondent. 

Cheers  for  Coach  Myers  at  the  con- 
clusion of  his  moving  address  were 
led  by  Attorney  Leen,  a  vociferous 
rooter  of  the  T-formation  exponent. 
Henry  used  to  root  the  same  way 
for  Professor  Charles  Dowd  in 
Fresh  D. 

Court  Clerk  Ed  Lee  and  family  are 
at  this  writing  vacationing  in  Flo- 
rida, to  the  ill-concealed  envy  of 
his  classmates  and  courthouse  as- 
sociates including  the  venerable 
Superior  Court  Justice  whose  court- 
house he  deserted  for  the  warmer 
regions. 

Father  Joe  Connell,  S.J.,  is  the  first 
of  the  Class  to  hit  the  motion  pic- 
tures. He  appears  in  several  scenes 
of  the  Jesuit  community  in  Bagh- 
dad taken  by  Father  Bernard  Hub- 
bard, S.J.,  the  Glacier  Priest,  for 
a  motion  picture  exhibited  in  Jordan 
Hall  in  January. 

Father  Frank  McDonnell  is  at  St. 
Agatha's,  East  Milton,  after  an  as-

The  usual  nice  Christmas  card  was 
received  from  Harry  Kievenaar. 
The  card  always  depicts  the  same 
scene  before  the  fireplace  in  the 
family  home  on  Crehore  Road,  West 
Roxbury.  but  the  number  of  persons 
shown  continues  to  increase  stead- 
ily. This  year's  card  showed  four 
little  Kievenarrs  with  Harry  and 
Jul.

Again,     congratulations     to     Jerry 
Mahoney    on   his   great  job    at  the 
Varsity    Dinner. 
Let    you    know    about    the    dinner 


1930 

JOHN  J.  GRANDFIELD 
731  Hyde  Park  Ave.,  Roslindale  31 
After  a  great  deal  of  serious  con- 
sideration President  Jerry  McCar- 
thy reluctantly  decided  to  postpone 
the  annual  class  dinner  and  reunion 
until  some  time  shortly  after  East- 
er. The  severe  winter  weather  and 
the  accompanying  miserable  driv- 
ing conditions  coupled  with  the 
fact  that  Lent  is  early  this  year 
forced  Jerry  into  this  decision. 
Jerry  and  the  committee  in  charge 
are  making  plans  for  a  very  fine 
program  at  this  affair,  and  it  is  ex- 
pected that  there  will  be  many 
features  to  round  out  a  well  bal- 
anced evening  for  all.  A  special 
announcement  will  be  sent  to  all 
members  of  the  class  as  soon  as 
final  details  have  been  arranged. 
Jerry  has  been  troubled  with  sick- 
ness in  the  family  but  we  are  happy 
to  learn  that  things  are  looking  up 
in  the  McCarthy  household. 
At  press  time  "Red"  Hoban  was 
sweating  out  a  new  arrival.  He  tried 
to  give  the  impression  that  he  was 
rather  nervous  about  the  whole 
thing  but  your  inquiring  reporter 
woke  our  worried  prospective  fa- 
ther out  of  a  sound  Sunday  after- 
noon nap  on  the  day  that  Red's 
family  was  due  to  be  increased 
from  two  to  three. 
Joe  Whitehead  has  established  him- 
self in  the  real  estate  and  insur- 
ance business  down  Cape  Cod  way. 
Joe  has  bought  a  house  and  some 
property  on  Route  28  next  to  the 
water  tower  at  West  Dennis,  Mass., 
and  has  set  up  his  office  there.  He 
is  specializing  in  Cape  real  estate. 
Joe  would  be  only  too  pleased  to 
have  anyone  passing  by  drop  in 
and  say  hello.  His  mailing 
is  Box  151.   Dennisport,  Mass.

Father  "Luke"  McGowan  was  sched- 
uled to  leave  for  Washington,  D.C.. 
around  the  first  of  March  to  take 
charge  of  the  new  hospital  program 
of  the  National  Catholic  Welfare 
Association.  We  understand  that 
his  duties  will  include  the  unifica- 
tion and  standardization  of  essent-

pitals throughout  the  country. 
Reports  coming  in  from  Lowell  in- 
dicate the  family  of  Dr.  Bill  Green, 
formerly  of  West  Roxbury,  has  had 
a  recent  addition  in  the  person  of 
his  second  son,  the  fourth  child. 
John  Dwyer  had  the  pleasure  of 
dropping  in  on  Bill  at  his  office  in 
downtown  Lowell  shortly  after  the 
first  of  the  year  just  before  the 
prospective  B.  C.  student  arrived  on 
the  scene. 

John  "Mush"  Magner  was  dis- 
charged from  the  Navy  recently 
and  now  is  associated  with  the 
South  End  Hardware  in  Boston's

still  is  carrying  on  with  G.E.  in

It  is  surprising  to  learn  that  one 
of  our  more  ardent  winter  sports 
enthusiasts  is  John  M.  Foley,  orig- 
inally of  Roslindale  who  now  lives 
down  Wollaston  way.  John  is  re- 
ported to  favor  Goff's  Falls  and 
North  Conway  for  his  skiing  activ- 
ities and  is  said  to  be  just  as 
healthy  looking  as  ever. 
Tom  Kelly  enjoyed  an  inspection 
tour  of  the  new  control  tower  at 
Logan  International  Airport  unde*- 
the  personal  supervision  of  Henry 
Lynch.  Tom  recently  suffered  a  frac- 
tured toe  under  rather  mysterious 
conditions  in  the  quiet  and  peace 
of  his  home.  However,  Bill  Sullivan, 
our  popular  medico,  fixed  him  up 
and  Tom  is  able  to  kick  just  as 
well  as  ever  now. 
Dr.  "Jack"  Foley,  formerly  of  South 
Boston,  very  quietly  took  unto  him- 
self a  bride  a  few  months  ago  a- 
round  Thanksgiving  time.  The  new- 
lyweds  have  leased  a  single  house 
on  Beacon  Street,  Waban,  for  the 
present.  "Jack"  is  specializing  in 
the  practice  of  dermatology.  His 
office  is  located  at  1101  Beacon 
Street,   Brookline. 

A  recent  announcement  in  the  Bos-

culty of  Baghdad  College,  Iraq,  for 
a  number  of  years.  Although  we 
haven't  seen  "Sid"  for  quite  a  while, 
it  was  easy  to  recognize  him  in  the 
group   picture.

t^Sj  There's  not  much  reading  ma- 
terial in  this  corner  for  this  issue 
and  I  suppose  this  can  be  traced 
to  that  wonderful  weather  we  have 
been  plagued  with  this  winter.  At 
any  event,  all  this  correspondent 
has  to  report  is  a  couple  of  rumors 
which  will  either  be  denied  or  con- 


25 


firmed  in  the  next  issue  when  those 
classmates  who  make  the  news 
come  out  of  their  winter  hiberna- 
tion and  make  themselves  known. 
Rumor  1N0.  1:  Willie  Murphy  has 
packed  up  and  gone  down  Maine 
where  I  hear  he  is  Assistant  Head- 
master at  some  school  in  that 
northern  state.  Rumor  No.  2:  Jack 
Fahey,  whom  we  once  elected  class 
"social  lion"  has  ceased  social  Hon- 
ing and  has  gone  and  married  him- 
self off  to  an  Emmanuel  girl.  My 
source  of  information  says  it  was 
January  10th  but  we'll  have  to 
check  this  one  for  more  news. 
Joe  Murphy  has  left  Babson's  Re- 
ports and  is  now  working  with 
Mass.  Bonding  Co.  Ernie  Damon 
has  been  skiing  on  Maine's  snowy 
slopes  in  between  classes  at  Tulfts 
Medical.  Jack  O'Keefe  sent  his 
best  to  all  from  St.  John's  via  his 
Christmas  card.  And  that  takes 
care  of  all  the  "news." 
In  the  last  issue  we  mentioned 
rather  vaguely  the  possibility  of  a 
class  meeting  and  reunion.  The 
response  was  overwhelming  and 
heartening.  The  only  catch,  how- 
ever, is  that  none  could  agree  as 
■to  the  date  of  the  affair.  So,  may 
I  once  again  ask  all  you  good 
gentlemen  to  communicate  direct- 
ly with  this  correspondent  and  after 
consulting  your  appointment  calen- 
dars let  me  know  which  date  is 
preferable  and  more  convenient. 
Also,  if  you  will,  include  a  second 
choice  so  that  some  sort  of  unan- 
imity as  to  date  may  be  had.  The 
only  restriction  is  that  it  be  some 
time  in  late  Feibruary  -or  March. 
You  can  take  it  ifrom  there.  I  can- 
not stress  the  importance  and  need 
for  such  a  reunion.  We  have  been 
out  of  the  college  near  three  years 
now  and  it  is  not  too  soon  to  start 
planning  our  five-year  celebration 
and  gift  to  the  College.  Temporary 
plans  have  been  drawn  up  and  will 
be  presented  to  you  at  the  forth- 
coming meeting  for  your  approval. 
Thus  the  need  for  a  majority  to  be 
present  is  obvious.  Ergo:  Please 
don't  delay  in  sending  me  the 
dates  you  will  be  available..

DONALD  R.  MgARDLE 
61  Mt.  Vernon  Avenue,  Braintree 
£&.<  A  very  successful  business 
meeting,  of  the  Class  was  held  at 
the  Hotel  Bostonian  on  November 
15.  Election  of  a  new  Board  of 
Governors  was  held  and  the  follow- 
ing men  were  elected  to  hold  office 
for  the  coming  year:  Gerry  Kirby, 
chairman,  Mike  Gargan,  vice-chair- 
man, Harry  McGrath,  treasurer, 
Tom  Patten,  secretary,  and  Ed 
Boyle,  Joe  Minahan  and  Jim  Cotter. 
Several  meetings  of  the  new  Board 
have  taken  place  and  plans  have 
been  made  for  a  Class  dinner  to 
be  held  the  latter  part  of  February, 
a  Communion  Breakfast  and  a 
Spring  dance. 

The  Board  has  also  taken  a  glance 
at  a  very  much  depleted  treasury 
balance  and  decided  that  it  would 
be  necessary  to  assess  each  mem- 
ber of  the  Class  for  annual  dues  of 
$11.00.  The  purpose  of  this  assess- 
ment is  to  establish  a  permanent 
working  capital  for  the  Class.  This 
working  capital  is  to  be  a  reserve 
fund  that  will  always  be  available 
in  oases  of  emergency  when  com- 
mitments have  been  made  for  some 
social  function  and  income  has  not 
been  large  enough  to  discharge 
them.  It  is  the  hope  Of  the  Board 
that  the  drive  for  funds  will  be 
successful  and  that  there  will  never 
again  be  any  financial  embarrass- 
ment in  the  Class  of  1944.

wishes  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Robert

Food  News  Is  Big  News 


f\  RECENT  CHECK  of  a  large  metropolitan  newspaper  revealed 
that  of  a  total  of  483  stories,  excluding  sports,  printed  in  a  single 
week,  58  referred  to  food. 

Food  made  12  per  cent  of  the  headlines,  including  several 
prominent  spots  on  page  one.  More  items  appeared  about  food 
than  about  any  other  subjects  excepting  national  and  inter- 
national affairs. 

Editors  know  that  food  news  is  big  news  because  it  deter- 
mines the  health  and  well-being  of  every  family  in  the  nation  and 
affects  the  livelihood  of  millions  of  Americans  engaged  in  pro- 
ducing and  marketing  the  things  we  eat. 

A  &  P  has  been  making  food  news  since  1859  when  it  was 
founded  on  the  new  principle  of  straight-line  movement  of  foods 
from  farm  and  factory  to  dinner  table. 

Every  time  A  &  P  has  found  a  better  way  of  bringing  quality 
food  at  less  cost  to  more  people,  it  has  been  news  of  deep  personal 
interest  to  millions  of  American  families,  for  it  has  given  them 
better  shopping  conditions  and  higher  living  standards. 

By  doing  the  nation's  most  efficient  job  of  food  distribution, 
the  men  and  women  of  A  &  P  have,  for  88  years,  been  makinc 
good  news  for  producers  and  consumers  alike.
