RICHARD RYAN GENERAL Success is relative. One of Loyola’s more colorful graduates, Rich possesses a particular type of individu- ality that never fails to leave a favorable impression behind. Seeing the “Blond Bomber’s” big broad smile appear around a corner, one prepares himself to share in the latest get rich quick gimmick (Christmas trees already successfully behind him, a trampoline center seems imminent for the summer). Rich is quite determined not to fall into the rut of the “organization man” but will certainly find his niche in the professions or some other form of self employment. Indeed the hallowed halls of Loyola will seem lifeless without him. ACTIVITIES: Intramural: Football ‘57-'58; Bowling ‘57-'58; Drama Society ‘57-'61; Carnival: Variety Show ‘57-'60; Review: Advertising ‘58-59. ROBERT SKELLY GENERAL A fool is a man who is not addicted to your own brand of folly. On meeting Bob, one comes into contact with a reserved young man with an un- mistakable air of self-assurance. One more fortunate in being more intimately acquainted with him, however, will inform you that, behind this mysterious exterior, there lies a wise-cracking, fun-loving person, given not infrequently to day-dreaming. These eccentric moments serve as a source of amusement to by-standers. Most pro- fessors, however, do show such occasional traits of inconsistency, and Bob is a future professor. We are confident that the experience he has emassed from his years at Loyola will reflect on his students. JOHN SWIDERSKI HONOURS ENGLISH “,.. to venture wholly to be oneself, as an individual . . .” Kierkegaard A Senior Matriculation graduate from D’Arcy McGee, John entered Honours English at Loyola in Sophomore year. A reserved personality added to a penchant for the esoteric and fine arts has bestowed the title of “the scholar” on him. His reputation for erudition and hard work has gained the respect of professors and students alike besides a few bursaries to boot. With this background, his intention to pursue further study in the field of literature is, we feel, a happy choice. JAMES TETU HONOURS HISTORY Never put off until tomorrow what c an be done today. Jim is the man in the class whom you can’t miss seeing. Easygoing and unassuming on the exterior, he has a keen sense of: humor. His quiet personality and serious manner have won him many friends during the course of his days at Loyola. He hopes to continue on in his study of History and eventually to teach it. His hard work in his studies will prove to be a great help in the achievement of his goal. EIGHT YEAR MAN. 23

PINARD PRE-MEDICAL Physicians, of all men, are most happy; what good success soever they have, the world proclaimeth, and what faults they commit, the earth covereth. Gil has made speed and excitement a necessary element in most of his interests and activities, whether at full gallop on horseback, at full speed on a toboggan, or full throttle in Grand-Prix racing.

STANLEY RICHTER HONOURS HISTORY Quarere verum Stan has passed his four years at Loyola asking everyone in sight the question “why”. This continuous, painstaking search for knowledge is what his fellow students will remember most about him. If, however, in a moment of weakness, they should give the matter any further thought, théy will also remember the narratives he has delivered at the caf. Stan now moves on to continue to ask “why” at Law School where he should win the same large number of friends he has gained at Loyola.

ROSS-MICHAEL ROCHFORD GENERAL As we advance in life we learn the limits of our abilities. I will try all things; 1 achieve what I can. Many men try and fail but the true man rises to try again. With graduation this spring, Mike culminates an outstanding tenure at Loyola which began in the high school. An athlete of no little ability and an active partici- pant in non-athletic endeavours, he found a happy medium between the two, gaining a multitude of friends in all phases of college life. An energetic leader and gifted organizer, any event was assured of success if Mike was at the helm. He plans to put his experience to work in the business world and judging by past experience, he cannot help but be a success.

MICHAEL HAMILTON WALKER GENERAL It behooves the nature of man to love and honour a great thing, even when it happens to be himself. Michael, in his four years at Loyola has been conspicuous for his individuality and his explosiveness. Trapped between a keen sense of distinctive criticism and an ardent interest in western music, he has nonetheless seen fit to devote a few of his leisure hours to agreeing with his inferiors. Endowed with a proloific vocabulary and an inquiring intellect, he has routed and confused many an opponent and captivated the interest of several of the fair sex, generally termed “tremendous”. One should not be deluded by this biting intellect, however, for behind it is a sharp wit and warm sense of humor accompanied by an appreciation of all that is intelligent or intelligible. ACTIVITIES: Intramurals: Football '57-'59; Tennis ‘59; Swimming ‘58; News Staffer '57-'58; Debating Society ‘58-’59; Drama Society ‘59-'60; Review Staffer ‘59. JOHN WILLIAM WATERS GENERAL I don't speak the English very am, But I try the best I are. John is ample proof of the benefits of higher education. Despite a basically intro- verted disposition he has managed to rack up a record of achievement that will leave his alma mater much to remember him by. His efforts on behalf of the REVIEW finds that publication much in his debt (which fortunately makes him unique), and his goal scoring ability is a matter of much comment among his peers in intramural athletics. He now leaves a successful college career and if he does decide to scrap the retirement plans, everyone who has known him is sure he will be successful in whatever venture he undertakes.

CHARLES WILLIAM J. WILLET GENERAI Brevis a na turnia nobis vita data est, at memoria bene reditae vitae sempiterna. Chuck, a product of the American Revolution, has spent all his scholastie life in Canada, including eight years at Loyola. No doubt his satiric humour and rather “laissez-faire” attitude have sustained him where perhaps a more intense personality might have failed. Of light heart but with a serious bent to his studies he leaves Loyola. With such assurance, he may certainly look confidently to the future in the vocation of his choice.
