ALOYSIUS F. ARTHUR. A.B. 1332 Lexington Avenue NEW YORK CITY Fordham Prep, ’16 Al Assistant Baseball Manager (3); Baseball Manager (4); Circulation Manager. Fordham Monthly (4): Frisch Testimonial Committee (4). WHEN memory alone is left us, and our college days arc a thing of the past, we will all remember Al—if all else be forgotten—for his sticktoitiveness. He is genial, he spreads sunshine with that smile of his, which we never remember seeing him without, excepting when a certain white-haired Prefect of Discipline used to appear on the horizon. He has, in fact, a great many qualities by which we should remember him. but the one that stands out above the rest is that general plugging-at-a-thing-till-he-gets-it air with which he tackles every tiling. Witness this year’s baseball schedule. Our hats arc off to Al for that accomplishment, for it was the best schedule ever arranged by a Fordham manager, a schedule which could not have been put together without the hardest and most persevering kind of work. Al is quiet and unassuming, a hard worker, and when he becomes interested in one undertaking every other activity must yield. Every once in a while he pulls himself away from his schedule, leaves a game pending, and puts in an unexpected appearance in class. With the same regularity and incvitableness as the weekly paper in psychology, you may see Al at every recess plunge into the office, and reappear a few moments later with whole sheafs of mail. These engross him for the following period, since he answers them immediately, in pursuance of his custom of promptness. We like to picture the Al of the future as a man behind the neatest desk in the world—he has an absolute passion for system—doing two days’ work in one. and gettins? there with that aggressive insistence that is so peculiarly his. Keep it up. Al! It is the panacea for lots of ills in this century of ours.
