Clark University

Ray Shanahan '29 (deceased) earned eight varsity letters in the mid to late 1920s playing both basketball and baseball. An outstanding student-athlete, he was a four-time recipient of the Jonas Clark Scholarship and was president of the Gryphon Society.

The first athlete in school history to serve as captain for three years (men’s basketball), Shanahan also served as the student body president during his junior year. The Pasticcio, the University’s annual yearbook, named Shanahan the most popular student as well as the best athlete.
