LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW — McNamara, Thomas Tommy came to Loyola five years ago from Sault Ste. Ma- rie bringing with him з those North Coun- try qualities of hon- esty, great sincerity and supreme frank- ness. Throughout his four college years, Tom has always been “а friend indeed ” and those who sought his advice were in- variably benefited by his kind and prudent counsel. He has more than manifested a i true school spirit in debating and especially in dramatics since he had leading roles in “Journey’s End, “the Private Secretary and in other productions. Of Tom we can truly say that Loyola’s loss is the world's gain. Nadeau, Claude In the short span of two years this congenial young French Canadian has included many Loyola boys in his wide circle of friends. Claude is a serious young man and his great perseverance and sense of respon- sibility will carry him far in the field of medicine which he intends to pursue at the University of Montreal. However, that is only one side of the man. He has a keen sense of humor and his genial attitude towards every- =— one at all times is the chief reason why Claude is so popular. Не is of an enthusiastic nature and enters all un- dertakings whole-heartedly—even the OT: C With such talents plus a magnetic personality, Claude should achieve, in his chosen profession, a success which will reflect credit both upon himself and upon the institution in which he has learned his philosophy. Thomas, Normie Normie started off his Loyola career in First High A, and is one of the few originals remaining from that class. He distinguished himself in athletic ability, being especially adapted to football, hockey and skiing. During the last few years he concerned himself with perfecting his golf game and when not “hooking” he drives a mean ball. Normie has also tasted no little success with his class work, keeping a good mean between it and sports. Our advice to you “N. E. Jr.” would be for you to keep your sense of humour, and to keep practising your ‘“‘imita- tion”. Good luck, pal! 4 18 k

LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW — walls for many a year, but he takes it all with a smile. Walter is a good hockey player and did yeoman duty for the Senior team in its march toward va fame. The most that can be said for his baseball is, that he plays it as well as he does football. How- ever, had he never hoofed a football, donned a skate or wielded a bat, Walter would be every bit as popular as he is now, for his infectious smile and warm congeniality have endeared him to ae both student body and Faculty alike. McGovern, Thomas “Tommie” is one of the old brigade at Loyola. Starting in High School “way back when he disappeared from our folds for two years, an absence that made him realize a great deal more the worth of Loyola. А finished public speaker Tom has been one of the main- stays of Loyola debating teams for four years and last year was a member of the Dominion Championship team in the I.U.D.L. He was victorious on the gridiron, the gold course and the social ring. His greatest conquest of course was that of his fellow students, by his constant good humour, adapt- ability and by the admiration he evoked by his solid determination to complete anything he undertook. Of Tommie we do not say that he gives promise of success, but that he is a success; Tom is more than a Loyola man, he is a leader of Loyola Men and we are proud of him. McKeown, L. Much more could be said of Lewis than what is contained in these brief lines. En- tering the High School in 729 he is one of the four re- maining out of that class who have run eight complete laps at Loyola. A keen rugby player, he is one of the best out- side wings Loyola has had in years and this year he acted as the Editor of the weekly News. Lew ever wears a smile ready to broaden into a grin at the shghtest provocation. His witty com- ment on the agrarian problems have never failed to brighten up the day. Although we do not know what the future has in store for him we do know that his talents make him equal to all the tasks that he will undertake and his personality assures us of his success. ЧЕ

LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW —r Unger, Benjamin C. Four years ago Nia- gara University yielded Benjy to Loyola and since then he has become well known throughout the College and High School too. A conscien- tious worker, he has good standing in studies, plays in many sports, and is especially efficient in baseball. With his easy- going and likeable nature he would rather suffer in- convenience himself than become angry at an un- just offender. Many know him as the German pris- oner maltreated in “Тоцгпеу'е End, and the officious butler of “Private Secretary . Verdicchio, Al. To give Al. the eulogy he rightly deserves would cover a multitude of pages, yet it would be well to note a few of his qualities, and activities as we see them here at Loyola. Coming to Loyola to begin his High School, he left at the end of his second year to continue his studies at Catholic High, where he matriculated. He 25 returned, however, to his first love— Loyola, to begin h is present series of pre-medical studies. Blessed with extraordinary physical and intellectual prowess, Al has made a success of all that he has endeavoured, whether on the Rugby field, on the ice, or in studies. His high average in both sciences and letters bear witness to his versatility in all fields. The fact that he was elected captain of the Rugby team proves his ability as an athlete, while his commission in the C.O.T.C. marks him out as a leader. The foregoing is dimmed, however, when we consider the number of friends and admirers he has among past students, present undergraduates, and the professors. This consideration is indicative of that remarkable quality, the capability of commanding the sincere admiration of all. Yeatman, James Richard Ever since he first entered Loyola’s hallowed portals seven years ago the outstanding trait of Jimmy has been his uncanny ability to place his finger on the most elusive of difficulties, coupled with the fact that he always has an answer for these difficulties ... needless to say a correct answer. In- deed throughout our whole school-life we cannot recall a single instance in which Jimmy was wrong. Were we obliged to make a list of his faults we should have to content our- selves with saying that the greatest of these is the fact that he is always right.
