LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW CUMMINS, John. А fellow of infinite jest; of most excellent fancy. — SHAKESPEARE. From Champlain Academy in 1920, John journeyed all the way to Montreal and became one of us. He tossed around a baseball and a few jokes on his arrival, and from then on has speedily gained in the estimation of all. Putting aside John’s cleverness in class, we will re- member him more for his football and his poetry. Always a quick thinker both on the gridiron and the tennis court, John’s speed evinces itself in other fields as well, especially by his ready and witty repartee, which is the delight of the Flat. He possesses a keen sense of humour; it is said, betimes, that he even finds humour in a physics’ oral(?). It may be well to add that he has his serious moments and these are mostly taken up in invoking the Muse of Poetry; this he does with great suc- cess, for his poems are always in great demand. His fine imagination is the raison d'étre of many hilarious meetings in the Seniors’ camp, for he can relate your personal experiences better than you can yourself—truly a man of fifty- seven varieties! Activities: К.П.Х., '25-28; Intermediate Foot- ball, 26-28; Class Tennis, '25-28; Class Baseball, 25-28; Scientific Society, 27-28; Dramatics, '28; Class Hockey, '25-'28; De- bating Society, '25-'28. Dacenats, Clovis. ‘Harmless mirth is the best cordial against the consumption of the spirit.” —T. FULLER. Clovis is one of those little rays of sunshine which never fail to lighten the darkness or the gravity of the spot whereon they fall; he is a little candle valiantly throwing his beams into a naughty world of dark scientific mys- teries, where to his dismay they so often prove unaccountably refractive. His ready answers to metaphysical difficul- ties and his vigorous attacks on Social- ism are convincing proof of soundness of mind and nimbleness of wit. Although Clovis entered Loyola two years ago, we are still discovering new qualities and abilities in him, and this makes it all the more difficult to say good-bye. We are assured, however, that the future holds for such a fine personality nothing but the gifts of prosperity. Activities: C.O.T.C., '27-'28; Kappa Pi Sigma, 17-28; Debating and Scientific Society, '27-'28. Жаз?

LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW — AvTOTTE, J. Esdras. “Ала weigh'est thy words before thou giv’ st them Breath.’ —SHAKESPEARE. Esdras is one of the silent members of the class who have let their actions speak for them. He has played in a regular position on the Junior Football team and has made himself valuable to the Intermediates. His success on the class hockey and baseball teams have won him the esteem of his classmates. These activities have not interfered with his class work; in the physics laboratory he is an unrivalled master at manoeuvering electrical machines. He has also found time to take the C.O.T.C. examinations and we may expect to seea Lieutenant Autotte among the foremost of the army against any odds and any enemy. It is more probable, however, that this quiet young man will do honour to Loyola in the world of com- merce where fresh laurels are surely awaiting him. Activities: (ШЕ Football, 728; Intermediate Intercollegiate Rugby, '28; Class Hockey, 27-28; Class Baseball, '27-28; C.O.T.C.; Debating Society, '27-'28. The Seniors Through Junior Eyes Butter, Reynolds. “Мол blameless is be, centered in tbe sphere Of common duties.” —TENNYSON. Reynolds entered Loyola in 1918, left us and then rejoined the class of '28. During his short stay he has shown him- self to be a, persevering student and an enthusiastic supporter of all College activities. He was the first of his class to enter the lecture ficld and we feel sure that those who listened to his dis- courses derived any amount of practical information therefrom. In the more active sphere Reynolds takes part in tennis and hockey; moreover, what is rather unsuspected in so placid a gentleman, he has taken the examination preparatory to Certificate A in the C.O.T.C. We have heard that Rey- nolds intends to enter Law; we are as- sured that his conscientious persever- ance, his training as a lecturer and his practical knowledge of economics will bring him to the very front ranks of his chosen profession. Activities: Class Hockey, '28; Golf and Tennis, '28; С.О.Т.С., '28; Kappa Pi Sigma, ‘28; Debating Club, '28. 4 по |

LOYOLA COLLEGE Dotan, Wilfred. Placed on his chair of state be seems a god While Sophs and Freshmen tremble at bis пой. —Byron. It was in the Fall of 1924 that “ВШ” first graced the academic precincts of Loyola. Since that time he has met with success in innumerable fields of en- deavour. Among a veritable legion of good traits and natural gifts there stands out one more personally characteristic of him than all the rest: it is that happy faculty of genuine witticism. Such a faculty, Voltaire has said, enables one to turn the most solemn situation into the most ridiculous,—or mayhap, the most ridiculous into the most sublime . . and maybe ‘‘Bill’’ does not utilize it! But this is only one phase of his versa- tile individuality. There are others, and they are numberless. His ability in public speaking was demonstrated by winning a debate against the Knights of Columbus; and his histrionic talent evinced itself in the important róle he assumed in the presentation of The Merchant of Venice. In athletics also he held his own, and it will be hard to replace him in hockey. Activities: Int. Hockey, '25-'28; Junior Football, 25-726; Int. Football Manager, '27; Lacrosse, '25-'27; Dramatics, '26-'28; Class President, 17-28; Debating Society President, '28; К.П.2. Vice-President, '28; L.C.A.A. Presi- dent, '28; C.O.T.C. Officer, '28. REVIEW Dowonvz, Arthur. “Не could distinguish and divide A hair 'twixt south and southwest side.” —Вотікв. Art first graced the time-worn door- steps of his Alma Mater in 1919. Since then he has more than held his own in both studies and athletics. As Vice- President of the Scientific Society, his words of wisdom demanded an admira- tion from his class-mates that could not be withheld. When he repaired to his laboratory no one dared disturb him for fear that the gods in their wrath would dole out vengeance mercilessly, for it was rumoured that Art was fathoming a theory that would divide the mighty atom. For amusement and exercise, Art engaged in the noble sports of Lacrosse and Hockey. As a Lacrosse player he excelled. He is also a hockey player of great ability, and the speed and accuracy of his shots from his usual position at right wing are surprising. For all his endeavours, they say he has adopted but one motto: ‘‘Justice is not dead, it is only sleeping, and it is my duty to wake it ир.” Activities: K.II..Z, 24-26; Secretary, '27; Junior Hockey, '24; Junior Football, 26; Scientific Society, Vice-President, '27; Lacrosse, '25- '27; Chairman, '28; Class Baseball, 25-728; Class Tennis, '25-'28; Class Hockey, '25-'28; Senior “Ат Home Committee, '28. ір}
