IAMES SKELLY '36 IFTEEN years have passed since the GARGOYLE first made its appearance in Cathedral in the form of a small four-page paper. During the years succeeding that memorable date, the available literary talent produced such varied and extensive material that the paper assumed new proportions. When the world was threatened with the terrible crisis during the dark days of the depression, the GARGOYLE was affected by the unsteady state of conditions about it and, lacking support, entered upon the stormiest period of its career. lt survived the burdens that threatened to overwhelm it and 1936, the Fifteenth Anniversary of its inception, finds it nearer its former state, still accomplishing its important mission to provide the student with a medium for the written expression of thought. The GARGOYLE has embarked upon a new era of development under the skillful management of lohn Donelon, Editor-in-Chief, and lames Skelly, Busi- ness Manager, through whose efforts the proposed improvements were made possible. As Editor-in-Chief, Iohn is to be highly commended for the excellent Work he has performed in turning out the greatly improved GARGOYLE. l-le has increased the number of pages and has made the magazine more attrac- tive by his novel arrangement and originality. Especially deserving of praise is the November issue, the Anniversary number which contained statements of the former editors. Tribute of praise is likewise due lim Skelly, who has been most influential in making this the most successful year in the history of the GARGOYLE. By his untiring efforts he has obtained an unusual number of ads and has kept the staff free from financial Worries. A word of praise for the remainder of the staff and department heads who have contributed much toward making each issue of the GARGOYLE a success. loe Buckley, author of By ye olde Lamplightf' proved a very inter- esting and humourous columnist. The Gargrins, edited by William Wanerka and Gerald Ryan, both demon jokesters, were amusing and provoked smiles from all the readers. Tom McGlade and Mike Fleming, the sport commenta- tors, Frank Tyrrell, the inquiring editor and author of Did You Know? g Ed McHugh and Benack, the book reviewers, lohn Donelon in the Observers Seat , Roddy Greene and George La Flare, society editors, and Billy Lohmann comprise the remainder of the staff. The most enjoyable article of the maga- zine was that submitted by the celebrated and mysterious Dinkle, whose wit confounds all his readers. The articles by Paul Meconi and Robert Welsh proved very interesting. No one ever failed to read the stories written by George La Flare, who has shown great ability as a short story writer. Every issue of the GARGOYLE was eagerly anticipated by the student body and was joyfully received. Again, congratulations, Donelon and Skelly, on the Fifteenth Anniversary of the GARGOYLE. 105
