LOYOLA COLLEGE activities which have not claimed his earnest support. Football and hockey have had no more tireless adherent; but it is in track that John has achieved greater glory. Placing second in the Quebec marathon is just one of his many successes on the cinder path. Contrary to popular belief, success in Athletics has not detracted from his success in the lecture-halls. His high marks in Physics, the bugaboo of all Seniors, have amply shown that. Hav- ing absorbed everything possible from Loyola, John is now ready to continue his studies at the university and we Есе! sure that he will succeed in the future as he has in the past. Activities: R. S. Sodality 1926-33 Officer; St. John Berchman Society 1926-33; Secretary 1930-32; L.C.A.A. Councillor 1930-31; Inter-Class De- bating; Track Captain 1930-32; Intramural Hockey 1930-33; Intermediate Football 1929- 32; Intermediate Hockey 1930-33. О’Ввтем, John Joseph “Si fractus inlabatur orbis Impavidum ferient ruinae . Horace. If we accept as a guiding criterion Newman's classic definition of gentle- man, we cannot do otherwise than hold Jack O’Brien in high esteem, for sterling REVIEW qualities do not remain hidden through- out eight years of closest association. Calmly accepting disappointments and reverses with a ка Е shrug and a cheerful smile, unobtrusively genial at all times, the Big Man includes every member of the class of '33 among his sincere friends and well-wishers. Jack seems to be one of those fortunate individuals who possess a very distinct notion of what they want, and the happy faculty of attaining it unheralded by any fanfare of ungracious sclf- assertion. His Alma Mater may con- fidently expect a notable career for this young man, whatever he may choose as the field for his life's work, whether ditch-digging or bridge-building, com- petent as he is in both. If we may be permitted the plagiarism, an orchid to you, John J!

LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW him. In a word, Ed is a steady worker, an able physicist, a careful mathemati- cian, a philosopher par excellence, an organizer with a passion for getting things done (as evidenced by his tri- umphs as Quarter-Master Lieutenant of the Loyola C.O.T.C.). A good fellow апа... а bridge player sans pareil. Activities: Scientific Society 1932-33; Loyola College кш and Debating Society 1932- 33; Secreta i Eta Fraternity; C.O.T.C.: Lewis Gun Team 1929-30; Q.M. Stores 1930- 31; О.М.5. 1931-32; О.М. Lieut., 1932-33. McGovern, John Edward Jack is one of those fortunate men work cannot upset. Although he spends a minimum of fifteen hours a week in the laboratories of the various depart- ments, he is ever found smiling and singing, immune to the petty worries of everyday life. Jack possesses that rare ability to be serious when it's time to be serious and to be gay when it's time to be gay. Besides his regular duties, he also takes an active part in the C.O.T.C. ranking, strange to say, as a cavalry officer. He made his first appearance in the Intramural Hockey League this year after an absence of three years and gave a strong helping hand to the boys to win the champion- ship(!) Another of Jack's pastimes is to walk, either West where he can get his two pohrk chopps, wun glaz meelk’’ from George ae can find nickels in your ай: ог to walk East for his late afternoon tea. Jack's graduation will deprive the College and the Chem lab of one of the very few lyric tenors Loyola has ever produced.

LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW —н Ryan, Charles Ross In joys, in grief, in triumphs, in retreat, Great always, without aiming to be great’’. Roscommon. In the early autumn of 1923 the ill- fated ''Vestris inward bound from Rio de Janeiro, carrying the usual mysterious cargo that comes from South America, deposited on the New York quays a small boy. His through ticket read Rio to Montreal and it was whispered about the promenade deck that the young traveller had come across a continent to attend Loyola College. There being no band to greet him, and seeing that the New York City Reception Committee had failed to arrive, he gathered up his luggage and started on the last trek of his journey. After many such trips, Ross is now ready to purchase a homeward-bound ticket, but we hope it will not be marked опе мау”. After being milled about іп the natural course of his college life and being further brushed down on the foot- ball field, one is surprised to find this tall, well-knit, well-balanced sane figure no longer any part of the youngster of the Vestris trip. Ross has spent many years with us and has his presence felt not only in his class but in every branch of College life. He is of a retiring disposition but there- in lies his strength. Ross will go a long way and Loyola will always remember him for his good sense and kindliness.
