The Seniors Balangero, Eugene Je prends tout doucement les hommes comme ils sont: J accoutume mon âme à souffrir ce qu'ils font — Born of Italian par- ents, brought up in the French-Canadian envi- ronment of Brébeuf, Gene finally came to Loyola two years ago, and is now about to leave us. We understand that Lyons, France, will be his next stop, where he will pursue his studies in the medical faculty of the University. Banane is our cos- mopolitan, a citizen of the world, at home everywhere and friend- ly with everyone. He has no enemies, save, in a general way, pl uto- crats, capitalists and the army. He was once, during a lecture on the ethics of war, the proud possessor of a pair of C.O.T.C. trousers which adorned the rear wall of the room, bearing the uncompromis- ing legend, Down with War! Though а pacifist, Balangero fully possesses the qual- ities of a good warrior, his energy and per- severance have pulled him out of many a difficulty. That is why a glance at his future is reassuring, for he will undoubtedly achieve the abundant success that one may naturally expect from capabilities such as his. | Beauvais, Charles “There's nothing ill can dwell in such a temple!” р SHAKESPEARE. Four years ago, Catholic High sent one of its outstanding athletes to Loyola, and now, in that comparatively short time, Loyola is sending this young man, Charles Beauvais, into the world as an accomplished student as well. There was never any doubt about“Chuck” Beauvais’ prowess in football or basketball or skiing, and it was one of the most un- fortunate days in his college career when he was forbidden to play football because of an injured shoulder. “Chuck” still managed to distinguish himself in basketball, captaining the Intermediates in 1934-35, and to display unusual ability in skiing. Lately, he has added to these triumphs by making the musketry team, as one of our crack shots. Nevertheless, the man is reserved and quiet-spoken, “Chuck” is completely aware of the serious side of life. He attends to his studies faithfully, carries out his duties earnestly, plays his games intensely. He is a character not frequently encountered, for he deals with great exploits in few words, hides real thoughtfulness beneath a refresh- ing simplicity of language, and a genuinely appreciative heart beneath a sober demean- our. i We feel sure that with his personality and gift of earnest endeavour, Charlie will reach a definite peak of success in all that he undertakes.

Bussiere, Rene “This life... if any life at all is worth living, is the life that a man should live... in the contemplation of absolute beauty.” PLATO. Symposium. René is best known to us as a scientist. His well-earned success in all studies since he came to Loyola in 1929 was fittingly rewarded by his receiving the Amyot scholarship for the best record in the first three college years. Good- natured always, mind- ful of other’s feelings, he is ever willing to help his classmates and his ability is furtherproven by his splendid results in Physics this year. His interests cover all branches of learning, — (Cont'd on page 9) Chase-Casgrain, Alex “He is complete in feature and in mind, With all good grace to grace a gentleman.” SHAKESPEARE Seven very short years ago Alex joined us in Second High. The fact that he success- fully weathered the storm of succeeding years speaks well for his ability. Since his arrival, he has carved his name deeply (figur- atively speaking) in the fabric of the College. An active member of most College organiza- tions, he has devoted his energy and mighty strength to many and varied tasks, frequently in the róle of the all- important and useful “man behind the scenes.” сі i AN NS б, ЖҚ When he underwent ап operation for ap- pendicitis last year, the College football team lost a very promising player. By the winter he had recuperated sufficiently to indulge in his favourite sport, skiing. As champion skiier of the College, Alex excels in this line of athletic endeavour and ranks among the leading skiers of the Province. We must also mention his dramatic powers. In the production of Journey's End” he played his part extremely well and did not forget a single line. (Note: This may have been owing to the fact that he had none to remember!) With his numerous capabilities we are certain that his tenacity of purpose and capacity for work, coupled with his other delightful qualities, will carry him far on the road to success, whatever path he may elect to follow. Dubée, Matthew “Whatever Sceptic could inquire for For every why he had a wherefore ” BUTLER. When the class of 36 first came together they elected “М.О.” Class President, and this has gone on automatically each year until now the act has a touch of tradi- tion about it. The “Dubé's” great popul- arity with the class, and, in fact, with the whole school, is a good index of his character and personality. He is a natural athlete, one who can turn to any sport and be outstand- ingly successful. Evi- dence of thisis given by the fact that he has, in his career, at times al- most single-handed, won football, hockey, and lacrosse games, and there would be no end to the telling of the numerous instances of an almost Merriwellian nature when he, for example, running ninety yards in the closing moments of a football game, brought victory to a beaten Loyola team.
