GILLES DES RUISSEAUX ENGINEERING (PHYSICS) It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow. Upon entering Loyola from D’Arcy McGee High School, Gilles brought with him two qualities that have characterized him throughout the past four years: scholastic ability and willingness to work. His service in the University Reserves was the culmination of a number of years spent in the R.C.A.F. Reserve. Gilles plans to begin post-graduate works in Physics next year, the profession of teaching being his final goal. We are sure that his friendly attitude, combined with his ability and interest in scholastic matters will make him as successful in teaching as he has been in learning. ACTIVITIES: Intramural: Volleyball ‘57-61; Hockey ‘57-'61; RCAF University Reserves ‘57-’60. FELICE G. DIAMENTE ENGINEERING (PHYSICS) Imagination is more important than knowledge. Einstein Felice came to Loyola as a Sophomore. His fine imagination and ability to work hard has not only won him many friends but also will be a great asset to him in his studies. Although much of his time is spent in working in his chosen field, Engineering Physics, Felice has found the time to develop into one of Loyola’s best bowlers. Best of luck to him in his coming stay at McGill. ACTIVITIES: Bowling ‘58-'61. WILLIAM FINNEGAN GENERAL SCIENCE Life is not all beer and skittles, but beer and skitiles should play a very important part in every man’s life. Born December 26, 1937 in Kenagani, P.Q., Bill attended Kenogami Catholic High School. From there he went to College School in Toronto. After a short term at McGill, he entered Loyola in 58. ACTIVITIES: Curling; Intramural Football and Hockey. DONALD FISHER MINING ENGINEERING To dare, still to dare, and ever to dare. Don came to Loyola with a strong love for Canada’s wide open north country and there is little doubt in his or anybody’s mind that it is to this that he will eventually return. Known familiarly as the ‘Prospector’ he is noted for his time and truly un- believable stories of past experiences. F requently conversations with Don will come around to his strong convictions about such things as business, politics and women. During his last year adding to the popularity that surrounded him personally has been the unusual popularity of his bachelor apartment, especially among his parent-bestricken classmates! An ardent apostle and devotee of mining and geology he will find his methodical habits an asset in his future efforts in this field. ACTIVITIES: Intramural Swimming ‘58-’59; EIC Member. 29

DAVID BRYDEN ENGINEERING Thought is only a flash between two long nights, but this flash is everything. Henri Poincaré At his graduation from D’Arcy McGee High School, Dave topped his class and he has continued to do well in scholastics at Loyola. However, it is the organizing ability combined with this intelligence, that is sure to spell success for Dave in the future. He first displayed this quality as an active member of the Sodality and then came to the fore as president of the Science Students’ Association, doing, in the opinion of the majority of the science students, the best that has been done in this capacity in recent years. We forecast full success for Dave in his pursuit of architecture at McGill in the years following. ACTIVITIES: Sodality Member ‘57-'58, ‘60-'61; Sodality Vice-President ‘58-60; S.S.A. Treasurer ‘59-'60; S.S.A. President ‘60-'61; F.R.A. ‘59-'60; Stage Crew ‘61; Sodality Congress Delegate to New York ‘58, to Boston ‘59. JOHN W. BUSH CIVIL ENGINEERING He who knows he knows not is a wise man. One of the reasons John’s class has been prominent over the last four years on the intramural scene is partly due to John. He has shown many times over again that athletic skill is more important than size. This was well illustrated when, as a junior he won the Intramural Athlete of the Year award. Being soft-spoken and quiet, John has accepted acclaim quite becoming of his nature. His initiative extends from the athletic field to the classroom and to Pat’s home, where he maintains his best grades. John intends to continue his studies in Civil Engineering this fall at McGill University. ACTIVITIES: Intramurals: Hockey ‘57-’61; Football ‘57-'61; Basketball ‘57-’61; Volleyball ‘58-’61. GARY K. CARROLL ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Watts my line. Gary was born in Grand Falls, New Brunswick and moved to Montreal in his early teens where he attended Cardinal Newman High School. Following graduation, he enrolled at Loyola in Science. During his tenure here, he has become a credit to his school and to his class. Wherever he went an atmosphere of friendliness sur- rounded him; even when the going was rough Gary could be found with a smile. Grand Falls’ loss has been Loyola’s gain. His favourite pastime was dictating his notes to Agatha for typing, or did she do the dictating? He still insists that Faraday comes after Thursday. Gary will be continuing his studies at McGill in Electrical Engineering. ACTIVITIES: Swimming, 1.A.S. ROSS DEEGAN ENGINEERING (PHYSICS) Truth is mighty, and will prevail. Ross, a former student of Catholic High, came to Loyola in his freshman year. His quiet but good nature has won him many friends, all of whom look upon him with high admiration. His keeness he no doubt acquired in the RCAF, where he played an active role. In his senior year Ross was named Vice-Chairman of the Engineering Institute of Canada in the student section, an office which he managed skillfully. We wish him success at McGill where he will pursue his studies in En- gineering-Physics. ACTIVITIES: Intramurals: Football ‘57-’61; Basketball ‘57-'61; RCAF URTP ‘58-’61; Freshman Advisor ‘60-61; Vice-Chairman of the Engineering Institute of Canada ‘60-61.

RAYMOND FITZSIMONS PHYSICS Any person more right than his neighbors is a majority of one. Leaving D’Arcy McGee High School in 1958 with his Senior Matriculation, Ray began his Sophomore year at Loyola. By nature not a “joiner”, he has remained rather inactive in extra-curricular activities during his stay here. A disenchanted engineer, Ray, at the moment, plans on going to St. Joseph’s Teachers College next year. His ability to grasp ideas quickly and easily, to reason logically, and work well on his own have carried Ray to graduation and should serve him well in any en- deavour he may undertake. JOHN E. FLYNN GENERAL SCIENCE, BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY I have promises to keep And miles to go before I sleep. — Robert Frost John came to us from St. Willobrod’s High School in Verdun. His attraction to biology led to the rapid abandonment of the engineering course at the end of its embryonic freshman year. His favorite pastime consists in being a dilettante, for he likes to dabble into anything that might provoke discussion; whereby he has gained many friends by his wit and humor. In the near future he intends to make this more than a pasttime, by endeavouring to import some of his knowledge to his students. ACTIVITIES: SSA: Film Programmer ‘60-'61; Intramural: Football ‘57-'61; Basketball ‘57-'58; Volleyball ‘58. JOSEPH E. GERVAY For man is man and master of his fate. HONOURS CHEMISTRY Joe found his way to Canada from Hungary in 1957 and eventually to Loyola in 1958 to take the Honours Chemistry Course. Being an exceptionally diligent worker and well endowed with intelligence, this no small task was accomplished. Good natured, smiling and joking outside classes, his engaging personality and cosmopoli- tan manner have made for him a great number of friends among both students and faculty. No obstacle in the future will ever be too formidable for Joe to overcome. ACTIVITIES: Intramurals: Basketball ’59-'60; Tennis ‘60-’61; Member of Chemical Institute of Canada ‘60-61. J. ROBERT FORTIN CIVIL ENGINEERING Public opinion, a vulgar, impertinent, anonymous tyrant who deliberately makes life unpleasant for anyone who is not content to be an average man. Bob came to Loyola in 1957 in Freshman Science. Since then he has commuted regularly from Montreal to Richmond, his home town. His warm and friendly man- ner has earned him the esteem not only of his classmates but of all those who have come in contact with him. We wish him the best of luck in completing his education at McGill University next year. ACTIVITIES: Intramurals: Basketball ‘57-'58; Volleybalk ‘57-'59; Football ‘57-'61; Hockey ‘57-'61; Skiing ‘61. 30
