dc.description b&w photograph; nitrate
dc.description Fair condition: sides curling, photo yellowing and stained. The top left corner torn, a tear on top edge 8.5 cm from right corner, left edge frayed 10.5 cm from lower left corner and remnants of matte on reverse.
dc.description Group photo of 13 boys in two rows (1 row standing, 1 row sitting on chairs), found on pg. 41 of the 1922 Santamarian yearbook under the uninformative caption "Students '21-22." Bill Finn is in the back row (third from right) and Gerry Hayes (future teacher at Saint Patrick's Boys' High School) is in the front row (third from right). In 2015 J. Mills identified two boys in the back row: William Burns (fourth from left) and Harry Durney (second from right, a future Reverend). Both participated in senior level sports (see pg. 119-120), and Burns was a member of the combined first and second year Arts debating team. Right Rev. William Burns (Arts class of 1923) enjoyed a distinguished career as Vicar General to the diocese's Bishop (exercising executive powers) from ca. 1942-1959. He also served on Saint Mary's Senate and as Vice Chancellor ca. 1951-1959. As of 2017, it is not possible to pinpoint these dates more accurately.Three more boys were recognised from 98.04.0448. The other boys cannot be identified because frustratingly, the 1922 yearbook does not list the boys' names in any photo, nor does it specify the class subject of any group photo. This photo is identical to 06.04.0020.
dc.description Gerald A. Hayes attended Saint Mary's from 1916-1923. He is the founder and first editor for St. Mary's "Tatler" in 1922. He continued on to be the Alumni editor of the Collegian as well as the secretary and president of the alumni. In 1935 he was appointed to the Senate of the college where he was the youngest member to be elected. Additionally Hayes was the coach for the intercollegiate hockey and rugby teams, leading both teams to numerous championships. Hayes obituary found on page 66 of the 1935 Collegian. Written in pencil on reverse: 'Arts' and '21-22.' '20-21' had been written in pencil but was erased. Came in white matte with '45.0' written in pencil on reverse. From Art Gallery.
