Fr. David H. Ryan, OSA Talce a pleasing personality, mix well with a double portion ot a deep and intimate knowledge ot things scientific, add a love tor music and tor hard and sincere worlc, and y-ou will undoubtedly come up with Father Ryan. Besides the heavy schedule of classes which Father Ry.an has talcen on, he is the director ot the Band here at Saints. lt is largely through his ettorts with the camera and in the dark-room that this annual is published. Despite his numer-ous activities however, Father Ryan always tinds time to help any student who is having a hard time with his studies. Father Ryan is a native San Diegan and an alumnus ot Saints, which perhaps accounts tor the tact that he is an avid supporter ot anything that Saints puts o-n.

Fr. Joseph O'Malley, OSA For the story ot Father O'Malley's stay at Saints, we have only to look at the basketball and baseball records tor the past tour years. As soon as winter ushers in basketball season, Coach O'Malley may be tound any and every afternoon, getting his team into condition tor a gruelling season. With the advent ot spring and baseball, he plunges into the task ot organizing a team tor the diamond sport. l-lis teams mean everything to him, and win or lose, he is noted and respected tor his al- ways apparent sportsmanship. Never one to say much, Father O'Malley can keep the boys in class in line with a tew well chosen words and has the admirable quality ot mak- ing studies interesting. When not otherwise oc- cupied, he may be found perusing the c-ontents ot the latest edition to the l-loosick Falls Stand- ard Press. W

Fr. F. M. Starrs, OSA c--fan Civ N 156- Wy For the past three years Patio atmosphere has been brightened by the enigmatic smiling of Father Starrs, caused, no doubt, by all the material furnished him by the local characters for his inexhaustible store of anec- dotes so readily and entertainingly recounted. ln fact, some of his daily classroom experiences have prompted Father to threaten to malce literary history in the field of autobiography, but he has never quite found time to begin work on his chef d'oeuvre . . . Lead- ing Upperclassmen through the intricacies and tedium of finding induced e.m.f. or the percentage composition of compounds has occupied most of Father's time since he came to San Diego from Chi, although almost every Tuesday evening finds him at the Fifth 84 Ash USO officiating at a meeting of the Glee Club . . . Long remembered will be the famous trio of Saints: Father Starrs, his Camels, and his chemistry.
