LOYOLA COLLEGE Page 8 REVIEW LAWRENCE TALLON | Tus accidental death of Lawrence Tallon on January 24th deprived Loyola of a son indeed. Last September Lawrence was assigned to First High B; his consistent efforts in the classroom and study hall assured a steady advance in school work. In his games he showed a manly spirit, at once energetic and restrained, which attracted the attention of many older students, one of whom paid Lawrence a boy's spontaneous praise, He was a swell little lad who knew his place! In Chapel, too, he “knew his place — on the evening of his death his missal was found marked for the next day's Holy Sacrifice. No doubt he knows another place: God's fitting re- ward for a boy's job well done. One of his best friends, Lorne Brown, was asked to tell us something about this youngster who had met such a tragic end. Lorne's obituary is eloquent in its simplicity: Lawrence Tallon was a friend of mine from Clarke eu which is a long way from Montreal. I think Loyola can be very proud of him for he went to Holy Communion every morning. He was an eg Ke hockey player, and his friends certainly miss Иш in their games. Не was quiet and had а deep respect for the Blessed Sacrament. boom all Lawrence Tallon was a gentleman. R.I.P. Van Gogb's Gachet I stood before a picture, rich and sad, And showing where Van Ce: in frenzy had With ragged, playing lines, boldly portrayed A silent, wistful man,—’Twas he who laid The genius in his grave. Gauguin had mocked The works of his wild, flaming art; men flocked Outside his House of Light and, jeering, cried “Madman!” And at Anvers, before he died, He painted this Gachet. Then darkness won Into his painting and drove out the sun. One day his weary mind recalled again His fathers rectory, the white linen, The grinning neighbours, Montmartre, the dread Sie insanity. And it is said That there he died, in the sunlight. Warm air Stirs the golden sunflowers growing there That with their gilded petals praise the day— This tribute planted there by good Gachet. . WILLIAM HARCOURT, 46.
