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.

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.

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!

No theory in philosophy is too difficult for him; a moment’s concentra- tion, a deep breath, and with a long- drawn-out Ahhhh,,,'' he has the solu- tion on the tips of his fingers.

ХУ дізн, Vincent Owen Vinney came to Loyola in the old Prep days, and enjoys with Ross Ryan the reputation of oldest inhabitant . Vincent has acquired for himself by diligent care and constant application in the realm of calculus and analytical eometry, the enviable position of Presi- dens in the ancient and honourable order of the Xi Etas. А physicist of some note, Vincent is a member of the Champion Physics team, and possesses ‚ а technique which is the envy and des- pair of all. However when allowed to roam at large in the Chem lab he takes a particular fancy to glass-ware in eneral, and funnels in particular, with isastrous results. As a theologian, he is unparalleled and with only the slightest provocation he will quote texts from the scriptures, councils and fathers. With graduation the C.O.T.C. 412}
