An industrious, friendly student, Dick was a hard worker and had plenty of school spirit. Since he had to earn his Way through Prep, Dick came to appreciate a Catholic education and all that it stands for. The death of Dick Brady was another appalling loss to Gonzaga.

i tnEntc.aTioN The 1958 edition of the Luigian is respectfully dedicated to an out- standing priest and educator and a great first son of the Northwest, Father Michael O'lVlalley. Born in Ireland in 1875, Father O'lVlalley spent his early life in his native country. After graduating from the Jesuit College at Limerick, Father left the green soil of Erini and embarked for the United States where he entered the Jesuit Novitiate at St. Louis. After completing two years of study there, Father set out for the Northwest where he worked among the Indians and studied for the priesthood. Un June 6, 1909, together with three other priests, Father O,lVIalley was ordained at St. Aloysius Church. Since his ordination, Father has been stationed throughout the Pacific- Northwest. His first position as a priest was among the Irish sheepherders in Southeast Oregon. He also worked with the Indians for many years. Father spent two years in Alaska. He has served at several parishes in Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and Lewiston. A year ago, Father received his present assignment at Gonzaga Prep. When asked what he thought was the greatest change in the Northwest since his arrival, Father replied, 1 think it is the campus of Gonzaga University. When 1 first arrived at Gonzaga, there was but one building, and a pile of rocks and brush. Now it is one of the finer campuses in this region. Father also stated that if he had his life to live over again, he would make it a carbon copy of the ,lesuit life he has led for the past sixty years. llllx 3.
