Loyola College Keview Class of 1949 Proceed with the same pains and toil. CT uis year’s graduating class takes pride in the fact that, in numbers, it is the largest in Loyola’s fifty-four year old history. Perhaps this pride stems from belief in the aphorism that, There is strength in numbers.” Be that as it may, sixty nine men with subtle minds and happy memories will descend upon the world, intent upon serving the greater glory of God. Many will continue their studies, some will enter the business world, others take on the Cloth; but all will always be guided by the unchanging principles now deeply imbedded in their minds and hearts . .. And so the graduates proceed; perhaps recalling a line of Shakespeare written for occasions such as this, Parting brings such sweet sorrow. The sorrow is the thought of no longer hurrying in and out of familiar lecture halls with a class of close friends; of no longer having intellectual appetites satiated by the various phases of Eternal Truths, as spoken by men who have dedicated their lives to the mould- ing of intelligent gentlemen. The sweetness is the satisfaction of having successfully completed a course of Philosophy, the Sciences, Literature, and Languages . . . Now is their hour, the time they have strived for diligently and faithfully for four years. Well equipped with Truth, they anticipate their future with no fear, except a proper fear of God. The steady hand that will direct them through the vicissitudes of life is found in the words of Edmund Campion, Jesuit and Martyr, scholar and educator, “Only preserve, do not degenerate from what you are, nor suffer the keen eye of your mind to grow dark and rusty.” HALDANE, GILBERT; Science PRESIDENT “Those who think must govern those who toil. An eight year man, Gib returned to the college in freshman after a five year term in the R.C.A.F. Since then his activities around the college and his contemplative and mature judgment prompted his classmates to elect him President of the student body. He will begin graduate studies in the field of chemistry. Activities: Class President, '47; C.S.R. President, '49; Sodality, '49.

BONHOMME, CLAUDE; Arts. “The true ship is the shipbuilder.” For eight years, Claude’s intense studious- ness has only been rivalled by his courteous and obliging disposition. In his leisure mo- ments he has been engaged in pursuing the des- tinies of “Les Habitants” and in constructing new sail boats. He plans to study medicine at U. of M. next year. Activities: Intra-mural hockey, '46-'47. BROWN, RUSSEL; Arts “The first great work (a task performed by few) is that yourself may to yourself be true.” Russ is one of the graduating class’ eight year men one who will long be remembered for his congenial spirit and ready smile. Stung at an early age by the travel-bug, he intends to com- plete his studies in Medicine at the University of British Columbia. Activities: C.O.T.C., '46-'49. BREMNER, JOHN; Science. Deeds, not words. John, a man of few words but many thoughts, is a product of Catholic High School. Averse to talkative people, he has silently and faith- fully devoted his four years at Loyola to the study of science. His scientific acuity will un- doubtedly be of great assistance in achieving his goal of an M.D. degree. COHEN, JACK; Science. `` Attempt the end and never stand to doubt; Nothing's so hard but search will find it out.” From Strathcona Academy, Jack entered Loyola in Sophomore Science. Militia-minded, he immediately entered the C.O.T.C. and has since been sincerely striving for his captaincy. He is still uncertain concerning his future, but his fellow Grads will not be surprised if he goes into the magazine business. Activities: C.O.T.C., '47-'49.
