Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sub Turri, 1936
Street, Arlington, was born on November 25, 1913, in Somerville. John soon moved to the town Of Arlington. For four years he found James Street Prep an admirable place to study the wanderings Of Ulysses and the adventures of Aeneas. His speed and ?ash made him an efficient and capable ice performer and he was a regular member Of the Eaglet Squad for three years. When the Spring grass turned green then Red smote a little white pellet around the turf for the golf team. When thoughts Of college came to John, his eyes turned towards Newton and he discovered that Boston College was sit uated in a place that was conducive both to study and play.
The lure of the ice came again and he was a varsity performer in freshman and sophomore years. Irksome and tedious as Were the duties of beadle Red carried them out with ability and dexterity. It was Mr. Ahearn this or Mr. Ahearn that and always with a smile he carried on. At the football games he was cheer leader and was always an inspiration to his class-mates, urging them on to cheer for Alma Mater.
The wonderland they call New York City appealed to him in 1933 and he mentions that trip as the most memorable incident passed in college years. The future will find this sincere Arlington lad an asset in the ledger Of life and the journal of the accounting world.
