LOYOLA + BraBANT, Maurice: Our representative from Valois has busied himself with so many activities that one hardly knows where to begin to enumerate them. Our college teams have known him and have been the better for it. His position of С.5.М. of the O.T.C. was filled, we venture, to say, as never before. His incisive com- mands have become as familiar as those of the O.C. himself. Among his favor- ite pastimes is to play in the infield of the Valois Softball Team, and allowing unsuspecting motorists to delude them- selves that he and his motorcycle re- present the provincial officers. We ex- tend our best wishes to ““Мое and hope that when he is soaring through sunny Californian skies he will remember us. Activities: Track '32—34; Intermediate Football '32-'34; C.O.T.C., С.5.М. 35; Mess Secretary 35; Class Hockey '32—'34. еее COLLINS, GEORGE: Georgie, the Magnificent, bids a final farewell to the College that has been a home to the Copper Cliffite for eight long years. To know George is to like him, and because of this he has made a host of good friends. His phenomenal powers of oratory can be attested to by all, especially by his brethren on the Flat. Baseball and tennis are the major sports for George, and we don't wonder why when we see him in action. Of course it isn't neces- sary to tell you that he plays hockey too —and what a game! А walking ency- clopedia, dictionary and quite the stat- istician is George, the argument-settler. He will undoubtedly make a success of whatever he undertakes, as once inter- ested in any project he will see it through. Floreat! Activities: Sodality '29—35; St. John Berchman's '30-'35, Councillor 33, '34; “Journey's End, The Colonel; Glee Club, Librarian '33; Foot- ball, Junior College '31; Hockey, Intra Mural and Intermediate 34; Baseball 30- 35; Man- ager '31-'34; Tennis, College Champion 34. COLLEGE REVIEW Curran, Richard: Always quiet and self-effacing, Dick's qualities generally seem to thrive unseen and unsung, His diligence and thor- oughness are evidenced by the fact that he is one of the hardest workers in the class. Diffident and unostentatious, he has won the esteem of all who have come to know his sterling qualities. His audible expression of merriment is one of his chief characteristics. Asso- ciation with Aubut and St. Cyr has mellowed it somewhat, thus proving that competition exerts its baneful in- fluence in every sphere. We entertain no doubts as to Dick’s future success; reat deeds and achievements go hand- in-hand with hard work and determina- tion. Activities: Sodality 33-35; Intra Mural Hockey 32-35; Debating Society 34. еее БО Аксу, Leonard Bourke: During the past four years Len has taken part in nearly every college activ- ity. A very noticeable improvement has been made in the standards of the St. John Berchmans' Society since he took over the office of President this year. As secretary of the Debating Society, he has ably acquitted himself, especially in the intercollegiate finals. Len has the faculty of being able to express his thoughts in a clear, concise manner whenever the occasion presents itself. One of his outstanding qualities is his determination to see a thing through once he has taken an interest in it. He possesses a very pleasant manner and a cheery disposition which should be a great asset to him in his chosen profes- sion. Knowing him as we do, it 15 only natural to expect big things from him in the future. Activities: Sodality Secretary-Treasurer '32—'34; St. John Berchmans' Secretary 34, President '35; Junior Football 33. Debating Society: Secretary '35, Intercollegiate Debating '34, '35; Journey's End, Lieutenant Hibbert. {8

LOYOLA COLLEGE “Е REVIEW The Seniors Autimas, Raymond: We are quite sure that the Crusaders must have been men very much like Ray. Since First High an enormous amount of his free time has been devoted to the interests of some athletic team or other. The weather is a particular foe of his—weather that brings rain on the day of the Bishop's game, or a thaw in the middle of the winter. But think not that Ray has no lighter moments. As a member of the Debating Team, and Manager and representative of every athletic team in the College, he has naturally had many an opportunity to travel. Ray leaves a noble record at Loyola, after his eight years within her walls. Possessed ај enough College spirit for a dozen ordinary students, loyal, hard- working, and sincere, we are sure that he will find his métier in life. With our best wishes we pen this humble tribute. Activities: Debating: Intercollegiate Debating League 35, Montreal Debating League 32- 34; Junior Hockey, Manager 31; Football Business Manager 34; Intermediate Hockey Manager 35; LCAA. Treasurer 32, 33, President 35. APP AMBROSE, Patrick: Scholastic Philosophy has failed! Despite two years of St. Thomas Aquinas, Pat remains imperturbable in his Stoicism. It is odd that one whose mind is so unwaveringly fixed on the Eternal Truths should be frequently involved in material—mostly financial —matters. Pat cannot help it; due to an almost legendary acquaintance with People at the City Hall, he can always be depended upon to spin those wheels within wheels. With a box of cigars under his arm, Pat's future as a politi- cian would be assured. But we suspect that his abilities will be directed toward a loftier plane. Far more than any of us realize, he has been a great example at the College. Good-humored, carefree, idealistic, and kindly, he has shown many of us that this world is not such a bad place after all. It cannot be while it harbours people like Pat. Activities: Dramatic Committee, '34, '35; “Loyola News, Associate Editor, '34; Debating Society '35. еее Аивит, Gerald: Gerry 15 another of the Old Guard. Pre-eminence in hockey and football is only опе of his many attributes. Не has graced the teams with his presence for the past eight years, and a great deal of their success was undoubtedly дие to his efforts. Вис іс 15 in ethi cs lectures that his talents are really shown. In length of objections he is found tied with D'Arcy and Frederickson; in vari- ety he is unsurpassed, and like the gentleman from Missouri, he takes a lot of convincing. His particular character- istics are twirling the only watch chain in the class and a particularly infectious laugh. Both are genuine. With his departure, Loyola athletics is losing a strong and reliable supporter. Activities: Intermediate Football '32, '33; Junior Football Manager '34, '35; Executive L.C. А.А. 32-34; Intermediate Hockey '32-'35; Junior Hockey 31-34; Intermediate Football Manager 34, 35. Я7Е

LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW ж Реумм, Royden: One finds it hard to do Roy justice in this brief eulogy. Always quiet and reserved, his nature does not lend itself to ostentation and display. Perhaps the best tribute we can pay him is to say that everything that he has done has been well done. In the C.O.T.C. stores his duties were fulfilled efficiently and with despatch. This efficiency and at- tention to detail undoubtedly accounts for much of his success in his studies and other undertakings, and augurs well for his future. Capability and talent are the threshold to greatness. Roy has both and we expect to hear more of him in the not too distant future. Activities: Sodality 33-35; Debating Society 35; С.О.Т.С., О.М. Stores. бег FREDERICKSON, John: After quite а long absence from our midst, John casually joined our ranks once more in Junior. He ranks with Walt Miller in the brevity of his aca- demic pursuits. Despite the fact that we do not see as much of John as we would like, we have been impressed by the range and depth of his knowledge. One would have to travel far to chance upon another who introduces subjects for philosophic controversy with such ease and frequency. John and the Angels” will long be remembered. Like the gladiators of old, he may be oc- casionally considered down, but never out; his aggressiveness and tenacity of purpose heed not the rebuffs of fortune and the blows of fate. Which is another way of saying that John is well equipped to carve out his own destiny. гг е GRIFFIN, Daniel: Ап officer іп the C.O.T.C., а mathe- matician of note, and a hockey player of ability. When Dan's time is not taken up in helping Shaughnessy to read the sport columns that deal with «фе Shaughnessy's doings, he is over іп the Stores conciliating some irate soldier, or waging a patient war of extermina- tion against the moths. So far the honours are even. By dint of chemical warfare Danny outflanked the foe; the foe's progeny retaliated by harrying Danny's nether garments—carrying the war into the enemy's country, $0 to speak. Our physicist is much in demand whenever a knotty problem presents it- self, which, indeed, is mute testimony to his ability and talent. These few poor words can give but scant appreciation of one to whom the whole class feels deeply indebted. Activities: Class Hockey; Junior Football '33; Intermediate Hockey '35; College Orchestra '34; C.O. T.C. Lieutenant; О.М. Stores 33-35. гео СвотнЕ, Paul: Раш is а person of distinction and shows the reason for this eminence in his every action. If hard work, as some onc has remarked, is half the battle, Paul is undoubtedly on his way to great success. Always а painstaking and dili- gent student, his ability in matters scientific has been evinced ever since his entrance into our halls of learning. He was the perennial fountain and extra- curricular source of knowledge, and with Griffin he helped constitute the Senior Brain Trust in the sciences. There is no one who does not wish him well. Activities: C.O.T.C. Lieutenant 34; ‘‘Journey’s End, Sergeant-Major. еее Наммп,, Егапк: Frank, the Іасопіс, has been with us even since we can remember, and to good effect; some one had to act as a damper on the more boisterous spirits in the Senior class. His pointed humour has interrupted more than one serious gath- ering, and has lent some colour to our otherwise uneventful lives. For this we or
