Wk With; ---- , Maw wane ' g oyol AC Ile ge Address all communications to: LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW, SHERBROOKE STREET WEST, MONTREAL Price: THREE DOLLARS THE COPY, paper bound. All subscriptions will be gratefully received. 1952 MONTREAL, CANADA No. 38 Our readers will notice that the 1952 edition of the Loyola College Review includes a few innovations. Though we have done our best to please every reader, it has at times been difficult to do this. N everthclcss, we do feel that the ,52 Review is in most respects universally acceptable. For the second consecutive year, two books were printed. A High School staff publishes the High School book, while a College staff does corresponding work on the College edition. Each book covers its own particular aspect of Loyola, and each book is a separate entity in itself. It will be noted that this year the book has fewer pages than usual. Over the years, printing costs have skyrocketed, while the Review has remained virtually the same size, and always the same price, $1.00 per copy. In our first year under a new policyeone of sound nnancial basis-we have not been too successful, and the result is a cut in size. However, we did manage to shy away from a deficit, and we have learned some lessons which will be of great value in the future. Our readers are requested to take a close look at pages 26 and 27, and note that this year, not only have we recognized the leaders in athletic and other extracurricular activities, but for the first time in a good many years of Review publication, the academic leaders are recognized. These are the men who won prizes at the Convocation exercises, June 2nd, 1952. Note them well. They are to-morrowis leaders. We are also placing a certain emphasis this year on what are termed uthe artsii. Note the increase in interest in Debating, which included the debate at West Point Military Academy. There is also emphasis on drama, for it was Loyolais presentation of gThe Game of Chessii which won the Inter-Varsity Drama Festival, and with it the London F ree Press Tmphy. And was it not Loyolais production of Eliotis 2Murder in the Cathedralii which was so widely acclaimed throughout the city? At the request of Montreal critics, the play ran one extra night. Note also the guest articles on page nine. This is a reprint from the CCLoyola Newsii, and 18 one of the finest pieces of critical analysis that we have seen for some time. hContinued on Page 36i

713?; in W Ema! LEAFING back through the slowly fading pages of memory may not be one of lifeis more profitable occupations, but it can be one of its most pleasant. The old soldier didnit really enjoy his days in the line, but what- ever he went through then has been made up for a dozen times over by the oft-savored joy of telling his story. So it is with the years we spend at school: often we seem to get the most out of them when looking backward, recalling this game, or that teacher, or some problem or project which may only have engaged our attention for a short while but which is ours, as a pleasant memory or a lesson learned, for life. Psychologists tell us that we remember what we want to remember, and forget what we would rather forget. Perhaps itis just as well that we do, although in future years we shall probably be guilty of shaking our heads over those who have come after us, sadly proclaiming that g6the old spirit just isnit there any more? But surely now, just a few short months after the class of 52 has been sent on its way with speeches, handshakes, cheers and tears, we can look back over the record of the past year with some assurance that the pride we feel at the achievements there set down is not wholly due to the mellowing influence of time. WILLIAM FORBES President, Council of Student Representatives. Perhaps no one but we ourselves will ever be quite convinced that our football and basketball teams were splendid, fighting outfits for whom odds really didnit count. But thereis just no answer to the fact that the hockey team won its fourth Conference championship in a row: its in the record. And perhaps the effort put into the iidrivesii to clean up the Cafeteria, for instance, or 'to bring Christ back to Christmas, didnit all show up in the results achieved; but the drive to get blood for the Red Cross was more successful at Loyola than at any other college in Montreal, and that, at least, is in the record. The headaches involved in putting on a good play or putting out a good magazine never show up at curtain time or on publication day. But ccMurder in the Cathedralii was called a milestone in Canadian amateur theatre by Montrealis senior critic; ccThe Game of Chessii on the Inter-Varsity Drama F estival; this yearis Amphora was the best yet. And itis all in the record. Thereis lots more down there, too. The C.S.R., the L.C.A.A., the Sodality, the News, and all the rest, all seem to make a pretty good showing. Of course, you can waste time looking at a record. But you can learn something, too. You can learn that if you give your best to whatever happens to come up, the record will take care of itself.
