а.к ж. А-а Ass Page 14 STEPHEN CLERK- Steve hails from Montreal, now lives at Mont St. Hilaire, Р.О. and came to Loyola from Catholic High, entering IIIB in September of 1941. Although Steve takes pardonable pride in his skiing prowess (you have to be good in Mont St. Hilaire) he is probably best known for his great work on the Loyola Stage crews. For the past three years, with his friend Hughie Kerrin, he has helped construct the sets for all the Loyola Stage productions . . . being at the same time a very quick man with a prop in an emergency. Steve is thinking of continuing the medical career he has already begun here at Loyola . . . but whatever be his goal he should certainly achieve it. Activities: Loyola Stage Crew, Savonarola, Traitors’ Gate, Hamlet. BRIAN DANAHER—Dan, as he prefers to be known, is a Senior Scientist (an engineer, that is) who started out at Loyola one September day in 1939, which makes him another of the eight-year boys. But that doesn’t tell the whole story, for he has been a hard-hitting player on the football and hockey teams ever since we can remember. A quick man with a joke, or smart remark on or off the field, and with a habit of smashing his nose, Dan, or ‘Cyrano’ as his friends of the draughting-room have dubbed him, has also played considerable intra-mural sports, and has had one brief fling at floor hockey. If Dan carries the same zest and willingness to work which he has shown on the sports scene into the engineering field we’re willing to wager he’ll land pretty close to the top of the heap. Activities: Senior High Football '43-44, Intermediate Intercollegiate Football '45-46 746-747, Intermediate Intercollegiate Hockey 45-46, Intra-mural Hockey, Basketball. GERALD JOSEPH FLANAGAN--Gerry, as you can easily surmise, is an Irishman, and not in name only but also in character and appearance. The standard Irish red hair and twinkling brown eyes harmonize very well with his Irish wit and humour. This Senior engineer, an eight year man, since his arrival in '39, has carved out quite an enviable record for himself, playing football, tournament tennis, and a great deal of Intra-mural sport. He had his big day when he won the Golf Championship of the college in his Sophomore year in a cloud of flying divots and broken mashies. On occasion he has turned out the odd article for the News and displayed in more than one instance a better than average ability to put his thoughts down on paper. Although Gerry claims his ambition is to be either a plumber or philosophy teacher . . . on the grounds that both offer the same remuneration and entail no work . . . nevertheless we suspect that his designs are upon the field of Civil Engineering . . . which, if he enters, promises a brilliant future. Activities: Senior High School Football ’43-'45, Intra-mural Hockey, Basketball, Bowling '45-'46,46-'47, College Golf Champion '44-45. ROBERT FOURNIER—Bob, the boarder, hails from Hull, Que. and we might say that few can match him. Coming to Loyola from the University of Ottawa, Bob entered Junior Pre-Law in September of 1945. Like most of his fellow boarders he prefers skiing, but is a good tennis player, reaching the quarter-finals in the College tournament last year, and sometimes heads for the golf links when the urge is strong. A favourite pastime is listening to swing records, in spite of competition from the noisy boarder next door. We imagine he intends to continue his Law career, and wish him the best in this endeavour. Activities: Tennis, Intra-mural Hockey and Basketball. JAMES BERNARD GOLLOP- Bernie proudly states that he makes his home in Verdun, Quebec's third largest city, and Verdun has equal reason to be proud of this industrious, Pre-Medical daily export from their fair city. A member of the Sodality since his Freshman year, Bernie was, this year, Prefect of that organization. In addition his hard work for the Review since '43 elevated him to the position of Editor-in-Chief this year. Despite his heavy schedule, Bernie still manages to indulge his passion for taking pictures of birds, and a sure sign of spring is to see him head out to the fields behind the college during the noon hour armed with binoculars and a camera. His interest in this hobby is such that he hopes to be an ornithologist, and we sincerely hope he realizes this unusual ambition. Activities: Sodality Executive '43-47, President 46-47, Review Executive 43-47, Editor-in- Chief '46-47, Loyola News: Photography Editor '44-'45, Reporter '45-46, Librarian '45-46,46-47, Fowling Executive '45-46,46-47. LOUIS GRAVEL—Louis is one of the boarders in Senior this year and comes to us from Quebec city, arriving at Loyola in '45 to enter Junior Pre-Law, having already completed the first two years of his Arts course at the Quebec seminary. Louis’ consuming interest is music, as any other unappreciative boarder will tell you. It seems that he has driven several former room-mates to the verge of-insanity with his passion for concertos, symphonies, and sonatas. But this is not his only diversion, for during the summer he becomes an avid, and sometimes dangerous, niblick wielder, touring the links as often as possible. When snow makes such excursions impossible he dons the barrel staves and heads for the steep hills (which he usually views from the bottom). His future plans are uncertain... but in whatever he chooses, we wish him “Bonne Chance”.

a Page 16 BRENDAN MICHAEL GRIFFIN- Brendan came to Loyola in '43, entering Freshman Arts, and was nearly ‘overcut’ inside of a month because the teachers couldn't hear his voice. However the situation was cleared up, Bren was seated in the front of the class, and is now one of the harder workers in the Pre-Law course. Although ordinarily very quiet he is a strong and willing debater . . . and revealed ability long unsuspected by his classmates. On several occasions he has taken the floor and has held forth on such varied and unusual subjects as “Тһе Road to Iceland” and “Should gentlemen bachelors wear moustaches ?” as well as on more serious topics. His favourite sport is skiing, and he shares with Louis Gravel a great interest in classical music. His future plans are unsettled, but we hope he enters Law where his sudden and unexpected flights in oratory should throw the opposition into great confusion and consternation. But whatever the field . . . our best wishes go with him. Activities: Sodality. MARIO GROSS- Mario is the linguist of Senior class, but since he was born in Zurich, Switzerland, this fact is not particularly surprising. He entered Frosh Arts in '43 coming from Catholic High with his close friends, Warren Brown and Mario Pasquale. His hobbies are painting and travelling and he hopes to continue the medical career һе has started here at Loyola. His secret ambition is to be a writer and his quick wit and ready humour ought to bring him laurels in this field if he so chooses. Although his gullibility makes him a butt for many of his class- mates' jokes still he takes it all with good grace and usually manages to turn the tables on the would be pranksters. GORMAN EDWARD HANRAHAN--Gorm has the honour of being the only one of this vear's Seniors who came to us from D'Arcy McGee. He has the further honour(?) of being the only Senior whose handsome face was once marred by the presence of a moustache. Never- theless, despite these awesome handicaps, he has managed to overcome the natural prejudices they entail and leaves Loyola without any blood having been shed. Gorm is one of those Senior Scientists who dared to major in Chem. He has passed through this phase without incident and intends to take up medicine at McGill this fall. His hobbies are automobiles and hunting and in spite of a strenuous scholastic schedule he has been able to participate in bowling and Intra-mural hockey. We hope he realizes his ambition to become a psychiatrist but also hope he never gets a chance to practice his profession on us. Activities: Montreal Debating League, Bowling, Intra-mural Hockey, Intra-mural Basket- ball '45. LAURIER CROSBIE HARVEY—Mr. Muscles of Loyola is the proud title of Harve, as he has developed his massive physique through arduous years of muscle tension and weight hoisting. He, too, is a Senior Engineer (Civil) and arrived in Prep. in September of '38. He has been a terror at Intra-mural hockey where his bone crushing checks have taken effect on more than one unwary forward. He has taken to the basketball courts intra-murally and was a booming success at the guard post. He bowls, hunts and plays golf while not tossing weights in the air and tearing 'phone books in half. As an Engineer you can be sure he'll have no trouble keeping his men under control and, if we guess correctly, he won't have to take off any kid gloves either. Activities: Bowling, Intra-mural Hockey and Basketball. RICHARD KENNEDY- Dick hails from Newfoundland and will boast of the fact to anyone who will listen to him. То be more exact his home is in Harbour Main, Nfld. Dick, who is a Pre-Med student, arrived here in September of '43 with a barrel of cod and a friendly word. Since then he has become President of the St. John Berchman's Society, President of the College Boarders and the Boarders' representative to the C.S.R. Dick is an excellent debater, especially when the subject deals, no matter how remotely, with his native Newfoundland. Dick intends to continue his medical studies and he will no doubt return to his native land to follow a successful career. Activities: St. John Berchman’s Society, President '47, Promoter, Apostleship of Prayer 46, Boarders’ Club President, C.S.R.—College Boarders Representative. WILLIAM W. KENNEDY—Although he was christened William W. not more than ten people know that that is his actual name, as he is almost universally known as Deuce. This Engineering Physicist is an eight year man having first seen the lights of First High B in September of 39. A friendly, mild mannered, easy-going type of fellow, Deuce is a favourite of his class- mates and returns their good natured ribbing in kind. He has played Intra-mural hockey and basketball with varied success and his bowling style is a thing of beauty. He will defend theo- retical science at the drop of a test tube. When he leaves Loyola he will leave a big gap behind him, for who else will get his haircut at Bob the Barber's ? Activities: Sodality, Intra-mural Hockey and Basketball, Bowling.
