30 LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW The glory of the sunsets flare Finds fitting rival in his hair. Who is that GORDON CARROLL. handsome youth advancing up the drive with firm step, . and smiling visage at a quarter past nine? Why, “Red” Carrol, of course, one of the leading members of the class of '24. Let me tell you a few things about him while he's getting a late slip from the Prefect. Gordon has been with us quite a number of years and during that time his sterling personality, pleasant character and honest blue eyes have gained for him the trust and admiration of the whole student y. His record in sports is an enviable one and he has long been connected with the L.C.A.A. in some executive position. During the last glorious football season he was one of the big men behind the team, and no small part of their success was due to his untiring efforts on their behalf. His extemporaneous speeches to awed multi- tudes in the recreation hall have loosened many a pocket string. His fame extends Кол the confines of the College and we often hear of Gordon's activities in his home parish. In losing this sturdy son of Erin, we, the students, lose a popular hero and a steadfast friend; and Loyola, for whom he has done so much, may well be proud of him. А man may smile and smile and be a Villain. Class Pres. (4); L.C.A.A.

The genial Paul is little PAUL CASEY. less than a fixture at the College to which he came a full decade ago. During these ten years he has shown his disgust for everything connected with the College with the possible exceptions of the C.O.T.C. and the Intermediate Hockey Team. Anoblechampion of His Majesty's Training Corps, he published in the Philos- орћу Daily an excellent history of the ог- ganization, the fruit of painstaking, devoted research. The Intermediate Hockey Team, which he organized and managed, never lost a game, and this was due in no small part to the work of their popular playing manager. His stoic appearance and baff- ling remarks, whether about his classmates or Aristotle, have been at all times amaz- ing. On his going, the College loses an earnest student and a loyal supporter of the Zoology class. That the medical profession will profit, we doubt not in the least, and we wish him every success.

He might correctly be called the grand old man of Loyola, not because he is old in years, his youthful countenance contra- dicts that, but because he has just finished his ninth year at Loyola. Eddie revels in propounding learned objections in phil- osophy. He held down an inside wing position on our championship rugby team. In hockey his skill is surpassed only by that of his renowned progenitors. He is the other half of the Skelly—Brannen com- bine, who receive in their mahogany suite at any hour of the day or night. Tho’ not generally known, it is rumoured that he is tardy in the early hours of the morning. This latter failing, if it must so be termed, is accounted for by excessive study in the wee sma' hours (?). His activities are by no means apart from the artistic, and we often hear the strains of his clarinet, the outlet for his artistic soul, though few there are lofty enough to interpret them. Did he really acquire the art of clarineting in Carolina? Eddie is a most active member of the Pan Club, and around the 21st of Decem- ber is wont to stroll about most nervously with furrowed brow, calculating deeply. O Cuckoo! Shall I call thee bird, Or but a wandering voice? Class Baseball (1, 2); Class Tennis 2); Class Hockey (4); Class Beadle (2). Whom the thriving HUGH ALLEN. town of Port Colborne proudly claims, is an energetic supporter of all indoor and outdoor forms of athletics. “Hughie,” as he is known to the undergrads with whom he is quite affable, has not been known to wager since losing a good bet on McGill Seniors in their first encounter with Queen's last fall. Many paths are open to this enterprising student who has al- ready achieved success as a critic of theatrical art and domestic science; but so far Hugh has kept secret his intentions for the future. The Juniors all wish this leader, alphabetically, of the class of '24 a full measure of success.

Leaves us this year PAUL CUDDIHY. with a record that anyone might envy. He has brought honour to his class on the Rugby field and on the ice, although his efforts on the violin have not been sufficiently appreciated by his classmates. His quick wit, which he must have inherited from Irish forefathers, has often lightened the heavy atmosphere of the lecture room and awakened us to renewed interest in the beauties of universals and the cosmic order. Paul’s hobby, if such an uplifting and re- served personality could be associated with hobbies, is Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. His clear solution of our many difficulties has won for him a warm spot in our hearts and next year we shall surely miss the intellectual atmosphere which his presence creates. Paul is slated in after years for a high position in some distinguished organi- zation from which point of vantage he may accomplish his ideal of working night and day for the benefit of mankind in general. Consistency? He never changed his mind, Which is and always was to live at ease.

A good many years MORRIS DAVIS. ago, in the days when Loyola was situated on Drummond Street, there came amongst us one known as Morris, alias “Rusty,” alias Red. He won our hearts with his beguiling manner and captivating laugh, and now, as he leaves his Alma Mater after a sojourn of many years, we can say that he will be greatly missed. A shining light in the art of piano play- ing, he has at various College functions shown his worth as a Paderewski. Oft times on Wednesday night, Rusty was wont to arrive at the College in search of knowledge, for to-morrow was Thursday and that meant a test. And when Thurs- day came, invariably, about the hour of one the same voice was heard in the Flat, “Who has a pen to lend те, I left mine at home to-day.” We are sure that success awaits Rusty; our greatest hope is that in years to come we may have the pleasure of hearing Morris as a master pianist of the world.
