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

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 are his debtors. He has, however, his serious moments. Acquaintance with Frank has only served to heighten our appreciation of him. When he leaves us, he will leave behind him a lasting memory of one who served to lighten the cares and worries of his fellow- students. еее Jounston, Thomas Mason: During his two years in our midst, Mase has demonstrated in many ways that he has travelled widely and has acquired a vast fund of knowledge on practically every subject. His residence at Ottawa has fostered his bent for diplomacy; very useful this has been on several occasions. Judging from the many long hours he has spent in a white coat and a smelly lab., and from his keen delight іп disecting anything from flies to rabbits, we can easily guess the career for which he is Кы Не has the honour of being the social lion of the Flat. As а football player, Mase cuts а rare figure and opponents аге advised to think twice before stepping in front of his charging form—if they want to think any more. Perhaps his greatest achievement in the realm of sport was his recent demonstration of the perfect slide. We wish Mase every success in his future work, as there is always a place for a good doctor. Activities: ames End,'' Lieutenant Osborne; о Intermediate otball '33, '34; Intramural Hockey '34, '35; Softball '34, '35. p pw ¥ Kerry, Myles: In the autumn of 1931, Catholic High sent us a football player of note, a gentleman and a scholar—to wit, one Myles Kelly, familiarly known as Spike. During the last four ycars, he has carved a niche that is peculiarly his own in our football Hall of Fame. He is always a game player. His expert downfield tackling, his general ability and resourcefulness have left а kindly COLLEGE REVIEW — and favourable impression in the minds of all. This emphasis upon his athletic ати is по apology for academic eficiency. Far from it. Myles has always been a keen student. When he ventured an opinion, he was listened to with respect. One felt that his judg- ments were carefully weighed before B utterance. His ability in matters orensic has been favourably commented upon by those in a position to know their debating. All in all, Loyola ma feel justly proud, and not a little =. as she witnesses the leave-taking of one of her elect. Activities: Sodality '32—'35; Intermediate Foot- ball '31-'34; Class Hockey; L.C.A.A. Coun- cillor 34, 35; C.O. T.C. Sergt. 35. еее Клевлм$, Eric: Іп these few inadequate words we bid farewell to опе who has occupied a prom- inent place in College life during the past four years. His unusual success in studies no longer impresses us: we ex- ct it of Eric; just as we expect to see im smiling. Two incurable habits. He has done much for the class and the College by his tireless energy, organiz- ing ability, capacity for work, and— much more—by his generosity. His versatility is reflected by the long list below—it show s him a scholar, debater, athlete. As an executive, he has filled positions on most of the major college committees. In football and hockey, he has earned his laurels. He is a veteran on our debating teams. If true greatness is measured by success, Eric's rank is one to be envied. Since the common estimate is general- ly a safe criterion, his popularity among his classmates is a fitting tribute to his ability. It is with reluctance that we see him go. May all true success be his. Activities: Sodality '27-'35, Officer 35; “Тош- ney's End, Lieutenant Raleigh; Debating Society, Councillor '34, President '35; Debates, Inter-University Debating League '33-'35; Montreal Debating League '32-'35; Loyola Е | 10 k-
