THE SENIOR CLASS March on, men; march on, men; march onward to the fray ” . . . these words from the spirited athletic song of Loyola College strike the keynote of the sentiment with which Loyola College regards her sons in these troubled times. And so it is, with this traditional admoni- tion ringing in their minds and memories, that the Class of January 1944, graduates. The storm clouds of distrust and aggression had just begun to darken the peaceful international sky two and a half years ago when our class first assembled. It was a large class then, confident in its numbers, active in its united enthusiasm. These original one hundred and thirty- five, faced with the demands of a nation at war, slowly but inevitably dwindled to a mere thirty seven. But, in spite of our lack of numbers, our class was not found wanting in energy or enthusiasm, in loyalty or confidence, in endeavor or achievement. We presented a united front to the other classes of the College and proved that the ability of a class to lead is commensurate only with the quality of its members and certainly does not depend on numbers. One of the principle reasons for the outstanding successes of the Senior Class is energetic, likable Tony Leary, four time President of the Class, once by a unanimous vote. Another is the very evident har- mony which exists among the various sections: such harmony, though often unavoidably missing from College life, undoubtedly arose from the decrease in numbers. But by far the most important reason lies in the fact that Loyola trains its sons to succeed. In them are inculcated sound moral principles and a proportionate sense of values, the exercise of which is a firm guarantee of success. With the honest pride and justifiable satisfaction of men who, in times that try mens’ souls, have done their duty well, we take leave of the school that we love, hopeful that we may have added, in slight measure, to the mass of glorious tradition that is Loyola. But the sorrow that we feel at leaving Loyola is tempered by the sweetness of the reali- zation that we have merited to call her Alma Mater” and the remem- brance of her as a loved and loving mother shall remain forever. This sentiment which we are trying to convey, a sentiment heartfelt by every Senior, is very beautifully and aptly expressed in the lyric of our Alma Mater” song: Years may come in between, seas may us part; still will loyal sons keep Evergreen, Loyola in their hearts Page Nine
