14 LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW cox) accomplishments of Loyola in this sphere. Seated also on the stage was the Rt. Rev. John Forbes, Bishop of Uganda, who favoured the gathering with a few words. і The Annual Track and Field Meet was held оп Monday, the nineteenth, on the College Campus. Very keen had been the disappointment among the students who had trained strenuously to get into condi- tion for the scheduled date when the in- clement weather of that day necessitated postponement. All who have any familiar- ity with physical training can readily understand that two days of enforced rest makes quite a difference. Nor was this all. The Campus had been gaily decorated with flags for the occasion and all was in readi- ness for a Lawn Social after the meet was finished. With the coming of the rain both of these naturally disappeared. However, when the morning of June 19th dawned with a bright sun shining, foretelling very favourable weather, spirits again ran. high. The preliminaries were held in the-morning and the finals in the afternoon. Several new records were estab- lished. This ; асе, when we consider the sodden. condition of the ground, reflects great credit upon the ability of the winners. Not a few old boys present saw the records they had established give way before the bursting strength of youth. The details of the various events, recorded elsewhere, show that’ many noteworthy times and distances were made. The event was en- tirely successful and, despite the postpone- ment, was witnessed by a good crowd. That evening at 7.30 o’clock a banquet was tendered to the Old Boys at the Col- lege. A large number were present in the anticipation of an evening rich in the reminiscences of former days. Nor were they disappointed. The evening was one which will be long remembered. Several fine speeches were made; speeches totally devoid of empty phrases and platitudes; Speeches containing humorous references to incidents which happened many years before; speeches that revealed the affec- tionate regard and high esteem which every Old Boy has for his Alma Mater. Class- =P mates united after long years of separation. Old friends renewed and strengthened their freindship by the recollection of happy days spent together within Loyola. The kindly spirit of comradeship prevailed. In proposing the toast “Our Alma Mater” Major Charles (Chubby) Power, M.C., M.P., expressed his delight at being privi- leged to be with so many of his former class-mates, with whom he had first learnt to play the game of politics. He further, recalled the fact of his being taught by the Rev. Fr. Gregory O'Bryan, S.J., that his first duty was always to be a Chris- tian and a Catholic gentleman. Replying to this toast, Rev. Fr. Hingston, S.J., the present Rector, declared that he was sincerely gratified with the way in which the Old Boys were maintaining the tradi- tions of Loyola. In the course of his speech Ет. Rector read messages of con- gratulations from His Holiness, Pope Pius XI, from the General of the Jesuit Order, the Very Rev. Wlodimir Ledochowski, and from his Eminence, Cardinal Begin, of Quebec. With reference to Fr. Quirk, S.J., who proposed the toast to the “Old Boys’ Association” we could not do better than to quote from “Loyola Old Boys’ Associa- tion Bulletin.” “Ет. Quirk was the hero of the evening. His brief, picturesque, and eloquent ad- dress brought everyone to the pitch of that spirit which should characterize an Old Boys' Re-union. His eloquence was a revelation. His devotion to the Old Boys and his affectionate tribute to the glorious dead struck a responsive chord. His jeal- ousy for the preservation of the ideals of Loyola was ап inspiration. He was the same Fr. Quirk of other days, but most of us discovered in him a personality that had escaped us in the days of the ‘Black Book . This toast was very ably responded to by Mr. John Kearney, president of the Loyola Old Boys’ Association. Brief speeches were also made by Very Rev. Fr. Filion, S.J., Fr. Corbett McCrae, Mr. J. T. Hackett, K.C., Dr. Conroy, and many others.
