ROBERT O’KANE Engineering “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” Bob is best known as “Keen Kane”, as the originator of the O’Kane dike in Mechanical Drawing and as the only one who managed to have three final examinations scheduled for the same hour at mid- term. His quiet manner and optimistic outlook through High School and College have been a great comfort to many when the work piled up before examinations. His ready smile and willingness to cooperate have made him one of the best-liked fellows in the class. His firm personality will be a great asset when he enters the busi- ness world. ACTIVITIES: Intramurals: Football ‘56-59, Hockey Manager ‘57-'60; Glee Club ‘58- ‘60; Science Tours Chairman ‘59-’60. GEORGE J. PAJUK Chemistry “Tho’ the sun in the heaven desert you, love will find out the way.” Neither the invasion of Poland nor the examinations at Loyola have been able to discourage George. He has shown himself to be a man of outstanding perspicacity and foresight, and has exempli- fied himself in instructing and controlling the “Marianettes” in the Chemistry Lab. Because of his ever present Slavic smile, he has been a source of encouragement to all about him. In his position as head of the guest speaker’s committee he has presented Loyola with many an interesting speaker other than himself. ACTIVITIES: Intramural Soccer ‘58; Varsity Soccer ‘59; UMUN: Delegate ‘60; P S Club: Vice-President ‘59-60, Member ‘58-60. RICHARD PIEDALUE Civil Engineering “Why not?” Dick came to Loyola from D’Arey McGee High. With his smooth sense of humor and personal charm, “Puddles” has become one of the most affable characters of his class. The past two years have deemed him as the most improved player in intramural hockey and basketball. There have been few men who have attended the Col- lege, who could ski better than Dick. We all wish him continued suc- cess at McGill where he will take up Civil Engineering. ACTIVITIES: Intramurals: Hockey ‘57-60, Swimming ‘57-'60, Skiing ‘57-'60. 31

JOHN Q. O’BRIEN Engineering “Recta sapere.” Success could not be more immanent for a man like John whose sterling qualities have made him extremely well-liked by all of his acquaintances. “Chappy”, it seems, can resist everything save the temptation to laudit the national status of Britain being as we know a very impartial observer. Throughout his four years at the college he has maintained such proficiency in his studies that he has been able to devote his attention to sports, taking Varsity Soccer very seriously. John’s clear-headed thinking, his adapt sense of humor and his ability to make friends stand him in perfect stead making his advancement in the world a positive certainty. ACTIVITIES: Intramurals: Bowling ‘59-'60, Swimming ‘58-60, Tennis ‘59-'60; Varsity Soccer ‘59-'60. NICHOLAS E. O’CONNOR Pre-Medical “Not to see what dimly lies ahead but to do what clearly lies at hand.” Nick was the last addition to the class, arriving two years ago from Queen’s.. He rapidly adjusted to the more rugged way of life, both by gaining many friends and building up a reputation as the one challenge to teachers in both Philosophy and Theology that the sciencemen could put forward. Outside of class, Nick specializes in biology lectures to the uninformed, ethical arguments and running the Sodality, none being the easiest of tasks. Next comes medical school, and the qualities shown so far point up the fact that Nick should have little trouble. ACTIVITIES: Intramurals: Football ‘58-’60, Hockey ‘58-'60, Swimming '59-’60; Pre-med. Society ’58-'60; Sodality:; Member ‘58-’59, President ‘59-60; ASFA Chairman ‘59-'60. NEIL O’GALLAGHER Civil Engineering “There but for the grace of God go I.” Neil came to Loyola from St. Patrick’s High School in Quebec City. Like a true Quebecois, hockey is his natural art. A stalwart center, he has distinguished himself as a “pro” in intramural hockey and when on loan to the Warriors, a “semi-pro”. An ardent philosopher, Neil had become a favorite among his philosophy professors. His four philosophy courses this year are a good indication that Neil will further his education in Civil Engineering at McGill next year. ACTIVITIES: Intramurals: Hockey ‘55-60, Swimming ‘57-'60, Volleyball ‘59-'60. 30

CARL PIGEON ‘Physics “To win without hardship is triumph without glory.” This year’s football captain, football MVP for two years running, what else is there to say? In fact, Carl’s ability to talk football 365 days a year has won him an early distinction. Fortunately, the quali- ties he has shown on the football field have not been left there, but have been carried on into all activities that he has turned his at- tention to. Carl’s future looks bright, with good reason to be. ACTIVITIES: Intramurals: Basketball ‘'56-’60, Hockey ‘57-60, Swimming ‘58-’60, Volleyball ‘56-’60, Bowling ‘56-60; Referee: Basketball ‘56-'57; Varsity Football ‘58- ‘60, Football MVP ‘58-'60, Football Captain ‘59-’60; LCAA Vice-President ’59-’60; Class Sports Manager ‘56-58; Carnival Committee '57-'58; EIGHT YEAR MAN. HERMAN H. SCHMIT Mathematics “So much is a man worth as he esteems himself.” Rabilais Herman came. to us as a prize product of Cardinal Newman. He has always been a brilliant student of mathematics and ever ready to put forth his philosophical arguments over a glass of ale. During his stay at Loyola he has been interested in a variety of activies both athletic and otherwise. Of late, his interest in economics and his liking of mathematics have combined to determine for him his life work. Yes, Herman is now undergoing intensive training to become an actuary, and in the majority opinion, is destined to succeed. ACTIVITIES: Intramurals: Football ‘56-60, Basketball ‘56-’60, Volleyball ‘56-'60, Bowling ‘56-'60; Varsity .Soccer ‘59; Debating ‘56-60; P S Club: Member ‘57-60, Social Director ‘59-60. GYTIS J. VAZALINSKAS Mechanical Engineering “The helping hand you're looking for is usually at the end of your arm.” Loyola’s answer to Al Capp came to us at a tender age filled with cartoon talent. He thus decided that with such a talent an Engineer- ing career was right for him. Since his stay at Loyola he has proven himself a hard worker and a good sport. Many a promotional job would have fallen through if it had not been for his fine posters. A basketball player, par excellence, his talents have not gone unnoticed. Gytis plans to continue his studies in Mechanical Engi- neering at McGill University. ACTIVITIES: Intramurals: Basketball ‘57-’60; Senior “B” Basketball ‘56-'57. 32
