LOYOLA Page 11 (o COLLEGE I REVIEW Seniora Remember SECOND HIGH 41-42 Wi could hardly guess that the changes about the College were to mark the beginning of a period of expansion which would culminate in the erection of the Central building: the new C.O.T.C. building that seemed almost incongruous as an annex to the aging Stadium; the new Sodality Chapel in the Junior Building and other minor changes around the College. The reputation of the Dramatic Society was considerably enhanced by the truly out- standing production of Who Ride on White Horses and Loyola's position of prominence among amateur theatrical groups was consolidated. The play was successful from every aspect: staging, technical effects, direction and execution. Dave Asselin almost achieved perfection in his brilliant portrayal of the heroic Edmund Campion. Jack O'Brien, Guy Desjardins, Robert O'Connell and Pat Devaux combined under the direction of Mr. David Stanley, S.J., to make this play an epic in the history of Loyola dramatics. The College went in for Debating in a big way that year. It had one of the heaviest schedules in its history. The school participated in the I.U.D.L. and the M.D.L. and featured such able debaters as Kev McKenna, Bob Joyce, Frank Mercier and John Doyle (our present College Prefect). The Junior High School Hockey team also achieved glory by winning the City Championship. College football, cancelled for the duration, was to us the most tangible reminder of the war. The Senior football team lost the Catholic championship to Catholic High. The entry of a Loyola team in the National Defence Hockey League was good news. The Loyola entry was coached by Dinny Dinsmore and featured such players as Jack Warren, later killed on active service, Hugh Braceland, Tom Davis, who is now back at Loyola after several years' service in Italy, Jimmy O'Connor, Ross Hutchings who coached the Intermediate Hockey team at McGill, Allan McDonald and Tubby O'Connell both of whom are now studying for the priesthood. In the play off, however, Loyola lost to Bucky Buchanan and his mates in straight games. Pearl Harbour was startling even to a student of Second High. The relentless advances of the Japanese armies and the continued bombing of Britain created a world crisis which was guite beyond the comprehension of a student who was, as yet, almost unaffected by the great turmoil. The C.O.T.C. was expanded to full strength and the Air Cadets were inaugurated; but these were for us merely an inconvenience and did not bring the war any closer to us. The only inkling we had of danger was the gravity of our elders and the ever growing Honour Roll of Loyola students in the Services.

S. “Къ KNIGHTS OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT are boys under sixteen from Prep., First High and Second High who have banded together for the good of their souls. A Communion Breakfast was held every Friday morning to aid the boys in fulfilling their pledge of weekly Holy Communion. Mass was said in the main chapel, and breakfast was served in the cafeteria. Despite its religious character, the K.B.S. sponsored many non-religious activities. At weekly meetings held in the auditorium current matters were discussed and projects presented. Committees were formed for different purposes. For example: by designing posters for the bulletin boards, the Poster Committee kept every project of the organization before the eyes of the whole student body. During Advent a food drive was organized to help provide Christmas dinners for some of the poor families of the city. On March 11th, 120 boys, after solemnly promising to uphold the purposes of the group, were admitted to the society and received the emblem of their spiritual Knighthood.
