Tremblay Releases
Second Book
Paul Tremblay's new novel No Sleep till
Wonderland was released on Tuesday,
February 2. A sequel to The Little Sleep,
the story once again features narcoleptic
detective Mark Genevich, who this time
finds himself in the middle of a murder
investigation and soon becomes the target
of the police, a sue-happy lawyer, and a
violent local bouncer.
Author Tod Goldberg commented,
“This is a novel filled with black humor, but
an even blacker subtext that makes the
reader question the nature of reality and
self. Wonderland is positively magnetic
fiction.” Publisher’s Weekly added, “The
clever writing will keep readers turning the
pages.”
Alumni Arrows Honored
at Annual Dinner
Well over 100 alumni, representing the
Classes of 1945 through 2004, attended the
Alumni Dinner on Tuesday, March 9. This
year’s dinner paid tribute to the
accomplishments of alumni who
participated on five Arrows sports teams. It
is the goal of the Alumni Association to use
future dinners to highlight other teams
from the School’s history.
Following welcoming remarks by
Headmaster Bill Burke and grace by Fr.
John Arens, Pat Hegarty ’89, President of
the Alumni Association, thanked his fellow
alumni for attending the dinner and
supporting the School. He gave an update
of this year’s Annual Fund and mentioned
the special gifts that would be given at the
end of the evening to the athletes being
recognized.
Headmaster Bill Burke returned to the
podium after dinner, where he introduced
the event’s first speaker, U.S. Senator Paul
Kirk ’56, who spoke about his service in the
Senate and the role he played as an assistant
coach for the 1960 football team, a team
being honored at the dinner for obtaining
an undefeated season. Coach Tom Green
’49, who led the 1960 football team, was
next to speak. He recounted stories of the
team’s success and commented that despite
his advancing years, he can still clearly see
the names and faces of the students who
played for him whenever he closes his eyes.
Current faculty member Dan Williams
’64 spoke fondly of his coaching experience
at St. Sebastian’s. In particular, he talked
about the ISL Championship 1991-92 and
1992-93 hockey teams which he, along with
Jack Doherty ’62, coached to ISL
Championships.
Athletic Coordinator Bob Souza, who is
best known as the longtime coach of the
School’s football team, talked about the year
he, along with assistant coaches George
Morelli and Paul Lepley, led the 1996
baseball team to an undefeated season in
the ISL, the only ISL school to this date to
hold that honor.
Faculty member and former assistant
basketball coach Jim Rest concluded the
evening when he spoke of the 1996
NEPSAC Class C Championship basketball
team which he, along with John Borden,
coached. He highlighted the
accomplishments of the team, noting that 4
of the 12 students in the School’s history to
be 1,000 point scorers were part of that
team.
Math Department faculty member Paul
Tremblay released his newest novel, No
