DOWNEY '42 3l'lBOUGl-IOUT the years, the GABGOYLES primary purpose has W been and will continue to be, to provide the students with a medium for the written expression of thought, This year more vu than ever though, Cathedrals quarterly has tried to nurture our young promising literateurs. ln the high school particularly, with the aid of the English professors, an extra effort has been made to bring out any latent talent for writing in the students. ln the luvenilia section of the Gargoyle. under the direction of Bill Hughes, we've seen this year many fine demonstrations of penwork from the younger members of the school. We hope that this will be continued, for in the future years upon them will lie the brunt of producing a worthwhile Gargoyle. Under the guiding hand of Fr. Bushford as director and Ierry O'Brien as editor, the Gargoyle this year has lived up to its ever high standard of literary production. Particularly with regard to the men who write the columns, is deep appreciation and gratitude due. lim Brown as the Lamplighter was one whose writing was especially fine, being filled with rich humor, choice expres- sion of language and an easy flowing style. As a literary competitor we have Dick Lane, who was this year's Observer and we were privileged to have a fine display of light writing from his pen. Tom Minogue has ably handled Activities , Ed. Garvey gave us his Things and Stuff, and Bob Milde has contributed a very amusing column entitled Exchanges . A capable presentation of news about the Alumni was made possible through the efforts of lack Burns and lack Wilson. Another noteworthy con- tributor was George Gildersleeve who ran a very interesting sports column. lack Weiss, with his usual thoroughness, covered a Wide scope as Book Review Editor and many clear and succinct book criticisms were due to his credit. We were pleasantly surprised this year, however, when the class poet of Sixth Year, Pete Chiara, turned from the field of poetry to that of the humorous essay. Most entertaining were two of his pieces entitled, Recollections of a Freshman and Sophomoric Sideglancesf' Without financial assistance the publication of the Gargoyle would be impossible. For that reason the Business Manager with the worthy assistance of his aids procured sufficient revenue by the subscription of money through advertising to make its production feasible. All in all, the class of '42 has upheld the past traditions and accomplish- ments ot the Gargoyle, and we of the present staff sincerely hope and pray for 't t' . 1 s con inued success IOSEPH A- DOWNEYI ,42 CATHIEDRAL COLLEGE ANNUAL
