But this is a many-sided man. His list of activities bear eloquent witness to his organ- izing abilities and his force of will to go through with a thing once started. As an orator you must picture him, not as a skilled rhetotician or a member-of-parliament type, but rather as a Mark Antony, a man whose strength and eloquence force men to act rather than persuade them to stir. Loyola is justly proud of this, her son, and will, we think, wait long to see his like again. Duranceau, Wilfrid 52. “Beside, he was a shrewd philosopher.” BUTLER. Wilf came to Loyola in Junior year from St. Mary's College. His personality im- mediately gained for him a host of friends. He is quite interested both in “the field of work and the field of play,” for he is a keen sport- fan. Besides taking an ac- tive part in sport he is also quite up-to-date in the more serious doings of life, especi- ally in things political. Не is often seen to “hold the floor,” discussing polit- ical questions with his col- | leagues, and supporting his views with very sound arguments. Great things may be expected of Wilf later on in life. He is one of our future lawyers. Al- ways a conscientious worker, he bids fair to make a definite success of his future profes- sion. Upon leaving Loyola, his sole regret is ‚that his stay with us was far too short. He takes with him our very best wishes for all his future undertakings. BUSSIERE, RENE (Сопга from page 7; culture, thought and science he has made his own. His hobby is art, and ofthe various forms of expression, he prefers music, his favourites being Beethoven, Bach and Debussy. With a splendid prospect of suc- cess before him, he possesses the further advantage of acquaintanceship with that precious thing of which so many fail to realize the existence,—an awareness and appreciation of life. Eglin, Jack “By Medicine, Life may be prolonged.” SHAKESPEARE. The glory of Israel is once more brought to the fore! Loyola has produced another su- perb blend of brains and brawn! Flanked on either side by formid- able foes in the shape of Physics and Philosophy —especially the former — Jack has managed to surmount all obstacles and has come through with flying colours. He secured his niche in the Loyola Hall of Fame by his successful conscien- tious objections against military activities, in any shape or form,— (Cont'd on page 11) Evans, John Benedict “The world knows nothing of its greatest men.” HENRY TAYLOR. For John has been unknown to us! He came from Regiopolis two years ago, and while in our midst his pet slogans have been work for the common good” and “dis- cretion in class. Quite recently, John's prowess has come still more to the fore. We were all familiar with the way in which he used to write off successfully any examin- ation in less than forty minutes, yet we had not fully realized the true extent of that phenomenally photographic memory of his. After the first term John disappeared from among us, only to return on the very morning of the first final examination,a month before grad- uation. This did not worry him very much; setting his powers of memory to work, he had no difficulty in grasping and retaining the matter. LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW Page nine

John’s talent and sincerity will stand him in good stead in his coming career, and we are sure that he will, as he has here at Loyola, win many a true friend. Gagne, Roger “I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.” JEROME K. JEROME. Alias “Baptiste,” alias Bap, Roger is a living proof that a moustache is not an impediment to be- coming a star hockey player. His rare abil- ity in this field is due to his well thought out plays and to his audacity on the ice. A glance at a certain cleft in his left cheek will reveal evidence of the spirit in which he has attacked our various opponents. But that is not why “Bap” came to Loy- ola from Brébeuf two years ago. He has since learned how to master the English language, and only his colleagues of the “Flat” know how many manuscripts of physical and philosophical treatises owe their existence to his pen. They do claim, indeed, that these are mostly prose. His many blended qualities go to make up the fine chap we know “Вар” to be, to whom we wish nothing but success in the vast metropolis and harbour of Sorel, and whom we shall always remember as a great French- man. EGLIN, JACK (Cont'd from page 9) with particular emphasis on the O.T.C. His ability in scrupulously avoiding this latter has earned for him not only the admir- ation of the students, but their enquiries as well. Industrious, far-seeing, and basically real- istic, he will go far in his chosen field. He leaves Loyola fortified with our best wishes for his forthcoming prosperity. Handfield, Paul “Industry, economy, honesty and kindness form a quartette of virtues that will never be improved upon.” JAMES OLIVER. One could hardly think of Jean-Paul without remember- ing him as a quiet, sincere and unselfish philosopher. Such traits might, possi- bly, cause him to remain amongst us were it not for the keeness of his intel- lect and the divers- ity of his mental act- ivities. These reveal infallibly the qual- ities he seemingly desires to hide from us. However, we have found a new way of discovering him, — should you hear the mighty and continuous voice of Tougas, you have there a good indication of Jean-Paul’s presence. Next year, while studying in Lyons, along with Balangero, it is to be hoped that he will not forget the many triends he has left at home, and when, after the lapse of five years, he returns as an accredited physician, we feel convinced that he will remedy all our ailments in a manner befitting the versatility of his talent. Haynes, Charles “Exceeding wise, fair-spoken and persuading.” SHAKESPEARE. If you ever want Charlie to explode a stentorian blast of verbal dynamite in your direction, simply mention Karl Marx or Adolf Hitler. Charlie can talk for hours on the former’s theories, claiming that most of the present exponents of Marxism profess warped versions of the original theory. For LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW Page eleven
