18 LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW LOYOLA BOYS AT THE FRONT PIN б ' It is with feelings of genuine pride, feelings not unmixed, however, with a certain amount of anxiety, that we have beheld the long and rapidly growing list of Loyola Old Boys off to the Front. The list we have is certainly incomplete, and of course, as the War goes on and as our country needs them, many more Loyola Old Boys will be added to the roll; but at present we have been able to count no less than thirty-two on active service. Some have been wounded, but as yet we have had no deaths to mourn. It was most gratifying to see what efforts several of our Old Boys made to pay а visit to the College on their way through Montreal. Thaddeus Armstrong, ex '05, was one of our callers. He gave up a splendid position in British Columbia, and resigned his lieutenancy in a local regiment in order to get to the front. He came through at Christmas acting as sergeant-major in charge of three hundred Westerners. He paid a visit from Quebec and has written from the trenches.

He went on active service only a week after his marriage with Miss Marguerite Forget and left with the Second Contingent. Ray Ryan is another of the boys of the early days of Loyola. Не has gone with the Third Contingent, a Lieutenant in Borden's Armoured Battery. Henri Panet is the only one of Loyola Boys to choose the Army as a pro- fession. Не passed into Kingston Military College after a brilliant entrance | examination that placed him first on the list with no second in sight. Не had one year more to spend at Kingston, but the need of Officers gave him his Commission at Christmas time. Нейв now at the front. Clarence Doheny, the phenomenal goal-minder of our all-but-champion hockey team of 1906, left with a battalion from Toronto. Ernie Grimes left from Ottawa. Frank Maguire, who qualified as Captain, but was unable to secure a Commission in time, enlisted as a private, and now as sergeant in a | я |
