How oTTen have we dropped inTo The booksTore only To be meT wiTh a quick smile and an assisTing hand? ln TacT, a visiT To Joe Cahill was more The case. QuieT and reTiring, neverTheless forward in maTTers oT kind- ness, here was a classmaTe whose company we enjoyed. A TervenT Tollower oT Virgil and Homer, Joe has come To know The classics wiTh perhaps a greaTer inTeresT Than many oT us. l-lowever, Joe is by no means a Bookworm. On The conTrary, Joe is a regular Tellow oT The highesT degree. GraduaTion may spliT our com- pany buT will sTrengThen our memories of a grand class- maTe.

Imagine if you will a Tall, dark, sparkling-eyed individ- ual who always is ready To lend a helping .hand and you have Don. WheTher in The classroom or in aThleTics, Don does everyThing wiTh greaT earnesTness. His ouT- sTanding characTer is Tormed by a mixTure oT sTudious- ness and humor. We have come To The conclusion ThaT he is a Tellow worTh knowing and ThaT he is made of ThaT sTerner sTuTf ThaT makes men go Tar in Their vocaTion. RICHARD PATRICK COTTER 657 AbboTT Road ST.

Well liked by all, Dick is an ideal pal, a disTinguished connoisseur of good Times and one willing To do whaT he can To make liTe enjoyable Tor oThers. Because oT his sTeady wiT and good-naTured Triendliness he has been a TavoriTe oT us all. His pen. dipped in experi- ence and omnivorous reading, has produced wriTings ThaT conTribuTed To The success oT The Arena. His colloquial genius on The plaTTorm will be remembered in Behrens l-lall. To say goodbye seems a biT Too per- manenT. so To Dick we'll say, AUT Wiedersehenn and may laurels oT success adorn your brow. page TwenTy-Tive
