The words, genial and president, perfectly express the regard the class of '27 has for lyall and are also a perfect portrayal of his character. 1Vall'.r ready wit and humor were the salvation of the pre-meds, in the dark and gloomy days of Iunior. There was no cloud so dark that he could not put a silver lining in it and help the boys forget their woes. As chief consultor on Lower Alumni, Middle Beaven and Middle Loyola, his room was a rendezvous from late in the morning till late at night. Through the four years l17all showed a marked bent for leadership, for behind his witty speech and cheerful mien there was much hard, common sense and wisdom and few were slow to take advantage of both. We can now only look forward to reunions at which lyall will once again spread merriment and laughter with recollections of Freshman and Sophomore G, Iunior Biology and the bursted pillow. It is a blow to us all to lose lyall but we are only saying, Auf Wiedersel1enQ Clzemlwl Club Pl'6.Tl.d6l2f, 4 Purple Key, 4 117 alerhury Club Prefidenl, 4 fllendel Club, 5, 4 B. V. 171.

urnle 'iTDatcbe1' .lgnd nd f IAMES PATRICK KANE lfforcewler, z7Ia.r.faclzu.rell.r Jim first claimed our attention way back in Freshman year on the occasion of the first reading of the marks. It was then that we realized that the Class of Twenty-seven was blessecl with a real scholar. His high scholastic rating continued throughout the entire course and the ease with which he mastered the intricacies of the principles of St. Thomas, el al, was a source of wonder- ment to we more unfortunate ones. Aclmirative of things athletic it was but natural that Jim shoulcl connect himself with some branch of sport, for Jim was a star linesman for three years at St. Iohn's High, but at Holy Cross Jimff first thought was for the books. However, his devotion to the football squad of which he was a member was generous and constant. Rumor has it that Jim will enter the teaching profession. Knowing as we do his character and ability, we prophesy a truly successful future.

R - ' gf- le afthe urn 1' QF? f IOHN MARTIN KELLY Jamey Cilg, 1Vew Jenreg Jack absolutely refuses to be worried, and fails to see the propriety of taking one's self or the world too seriously. Every situation is met with the amused insouciance of the true Metropolite. His ability at pantomiming prominent characters is amazing, almost as amazing as his consistent popularity wherever the Glee Club may chance to wander. His rich basso voice is one of the features of that organization. Jaclcff success among the four hundred is the envy of his less adept co- sufferers who gaze with sorrowful eyes on his ever growing correspondence, and his success in keeping the faculty well disposed has been as steady if not as sensational. Armed with the twin lances of sociability and perseverance, Jack is headed for great successes. Vice-Pre.ria'enf Frewhman Clam, I Debafing, 1, 2, 5 Purple Palcher Burr.
