THOMAS DAY SHANNAHAN Physics "Tuck" Sparrows Point, Maryland Sparrows Point High School Webster Literary Society; Y. M. C. A.; Gamma Beta Chi Club; Monthly Staff, '23, '25; Varsity Tennis, '22, '23, '24, '25; Class Basehall, '24, '25; President Officers' Club. "When loo~s were fond, and words were few." "TUCK" is one of the quietest members of the class. Few know his real nature, and his perpetual reticence is considered by some to approach taciturnity. However, when that outer reserve is once pierced, "Tuck" reveals himself as a true comrade with enduring qualities which so many quiet Jads possess. We might criticize his lack of initiative in the formation of friends, but we have naught but praise for his steadfast devotion to those on whom he confers his friendship. In athletics, Shannahan's big sport is tennis. No report of his activities or character would be complete without an account of his achievements in this line. Every year found him a member of the varsity squad, and in his Senior year he . captained it to victory. "Tuck" is a man of merit. His scholarship is average and he has that inde- finable quality which makes anything he touches succeed. His cleverness along certain lines and his sincerity in all his actions seem to predict for him a rosy future, for he will surely be a "wen-ncr." [70]
