JOHN HOLMES Ionian 2. 3—Iona News 3 HERE is in every man’s make-up one salient feature—the ' ' spokesman of his personality—which distinguishes him from his neighbor. John’s spokesman is his non-committal silence. It speaks volumes and gives added importance to his words on such rare occasions when he chooses to make a statement. His manner in the class room is quiet and reserved, but not so on the campus. The fresh air seems to change him completely, and then he becomes the most loquacious of anybody and he is not averse to occasional jokes—wholesome ones. John will always be remembered in the nooks and crannies of Iona for his hair-raising cornet solo on Armistice Day. Never before was such fervid patriotism shown (or blown) by beast, woman or child. It was just too sad. (Page Twenty-six 1

 THOMAS HOLDEN Football 4 (( OM is another happy representative of the breeder of fron- tiersmen—White Plains. The climate of this native land has made him rugged and tan and as he tells the boys with much flourish plenty tough. Of course his long march down from the wind-swept and storm-beaten Plains has made a man of him, but he says he owes most of it to his diet of salmon which grows on every tree in his land. Despite these distractions. Tom still finds time for study and does well in his work. Tom. in his Senior Ye r. played football and made out very well due to his strength ano absolute fearlessness. In everything he seems to apply the same force although it is covered by an evi- dent happy abandon. He is constantly smiling and always in a jovial mood. His inseparable companion. Henny” Vier. gives him so many laughs that it is a common sight to see him fairly doubled up with mirth in some corner of the campus at some joke. Tom is equally quick at giving a joke as taking it. He makes an excellent companion and a very desirable fellow in a crowd. Just what college he will enter he has not disclosed, but we suspect that he sneaks mail down to Georgetown and gets important looking answers in returr We are confident, however, that wherever he goes he will win .iis way into everyone's heart just as he has into ours. Iona wll miss Tom Holden. [Page Twenty-five]

 LATHAM JEFFRESS Football 1. 2. 3. 4—Track 1. 2. 3. 4—Bas?ball 2. 3. 4 Basketball 3. 4—Senior Prom Committee (Chairman) Junior Prom Committee—Monogram Club—Class President 1 f LL hail the Prince of good fellows and a potential executive! •y I Magnanimous, frank, versatile and a gentleman. That's “Jeff . A cheerful word and a resounding whack on the back is his mode of greeting you. Jeff has always been conspicuous in class politics and his decisions have been most practical. He will try anything and by dint of continual practice overcomes any shortcomings he may experience. An outstanding athlete, he occupies responsible positions in the four major sports and his size and strength make him respected by all. Jeff” is the most oblig- ing fellow we know and he will gladly go out of his way to help a friend. It was as chairman of the Senior Prom that “Jeff” covered himself with glory. It was mainly through his foresight and perseverance that the Prom was such a business bonanza and a huge social triumph. It will be many a year before another Senior Prom will have surpassed or even equalled its brilliancy. Surely Jeff” is not blind to what he has accomplished, yet he is the one least affected and remains just as modest as ever. He intends to enter business when he graduates. Success is inevitable. We nominate “Jeff for the Hall of Fame. [Page Twenty seven)
