Gerald Sheridan This year, Loyola is sending forth in Gerald Sheridan one of the most versa- tile students who have passed through her hands in many years. A mainstay of the College football team for the last three seasons and a member of the Intercollegiate Hockey Team for an equal period, his talents are not con- fined to athletics. A fine debater, he helped Loyola to victory against Boston College,—not to mention his sensa- tional pep-talks . Perhaps a truer appreciation of Gerald's qualities may be had by realizing the deep respect which he inspired in his fellow-students. This was made clear by his class-mates when they elected him Class President, and by the whole student body when he was elected Prefect of Our Lady's Sodality. George Joly Besides being a Beau Brummel in Verdun, George is a Fox in elegance of diction and a Laurier in soundness of political views. The recent dominion titles won by Loyola in Intercollegiate Debating have been largely due to his keen argumentation and forceful de- livery. An honour man and editor-in- chief of the Loyola News, he found time during his course to advance every extra-curricular activity by his untiring energy. In the Philosophers’ Concert his interpretation of Der Fuehrer won the hearty approval of the audience, and their ready applause won for him the role of Uncle Aubrey in Leave it to Psmith. In everything he has undertaken he has been a credit to the College. A generous friend and a faith- ful student, George will be long remem- bered—and greatly missed.

ТОХОГА COLLEGE REVIEW Page 4 Art for Art’s Sake O sickly hour! when once the bursting breast, Fatigued, о ercome with work, lies down to rest, And feels the itching pangs of sorrow rise, Unchecked, to plague a foolish, rude surmise. Its surging passions, wild with rage, unkempt, Now gnaw him to the core: “О vain attempt! Yes, thee I served. To thee I gave my all. Ч furthered thee despite the Master's call.’ Look here, ye students, see this void within. He charmed the Muses and despised his sin. In their arcaded halls he loved to play. No moral code restrained him in his way. Behold him now, estranged at Virtue's gate. Th’ Avenger s task is done:—he finds too late That Knowledge dies beneath Oblivion' s gad, That naught remains but thoughts or well or sad. From V irtue's path бу pride and passion led, Along Ambition! s course he rushed ahead, To pause were death. To ask if it be wise Received in turn two fierce and gleamy eyes. Yet now those days of frenzy long are past, And with them faded all that he held fast. His knell is rung. Не lives but lives in vain. He lost his all,—the dregs of life remain. 0 you who long to come and learn, beware. The arts are arts indeed that man may share. But never must he fall beneath their yoke, —A slave to passion —No.— 'Twas God who spoke: Ч am the Lord thy God! Remember Me.’ Yes come, to learn of Beauty,—oh, to see,— To toil, to cherish Art. Adorn with fame Her courts majestic, but in God's sweet name. The arts are means—no, not an end—to raise Man's heart to thoughts divine. Along life's ways, Full drear, are strewn these priceless gems sublime, Affording him aesthetic joys in time. LAwRENCE Снвві.кү, 40.

LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW ERNEST TYLER Secretary DAVID BEDFORD Page 6 Ernest Tyler Eight years ago Ernie won a scholar- ship from St. Aloysius’ parish, and since the time First High captured the intra- mural football title, he has held a key position in the backfield of winning teams. This year he was captain of Loyola's major football and hockey teams, and this is no better criterion of a players worth to a team. Two things have helped to keep Ernie on the hop, his summers as bell-boy at Barkely house and the four year old Tyler twins —in fact with the expansion of the twins, Ernie had to board at Loyola to concentrate on philosophy. Wherever hard work was required Ernie was at hand, in sport, in study, in debate and dramatics, in every endeavour he was a leader in a class of leaders, a man of the best Loyola tradition. David Bedford Dave is one of the most reliable, industrious, congenial and popular men in the school. He has a perfect record for school attendance and that is a criterion of all his activities. ‘‘Most blameless he is centered in a sphere of common duty. From his first day at Loyola he won his way to the hearts of all. The Sodality has found in him a most ardent advocate and promoter; he has shown himself indefatigable in whatever duties were to be done about the stage, in providing properties, in any way whatever. His interest in athletics was not confined to one sport— whatever Loyola entered, Dave Bedford entered too. Whether successful or not in his strangely diverse enterprises his ready smile and cheery Good Morning betrayed the genuine and congenial gentleman.
