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

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

KARL GLACKMEYER MINING ENGINEERING It takes men, minerals and midnight oil. Karl was born in Quebec City, in 1937 and apparently even then his ambition was to be hard rock miner. His main ambition is to be able to “dig” philosophy as well as he can dig a mine shaft. During his four years at Loyola, Karl has been an all round man, with his hearty laugh and cheerful influence has contributed much to the good humor of the group. As regards to the future, we all know Karl has the abilities and capacities for success and hence we wish him many opportunities to use them in his mining career. ACTIVITIES: Intramural: Hockey ‘58-'59; Swimming ‘58-'59-'60; Bowling ‘59-’60; Member of Engineering Institute of Canada. ANTHONY GRUNER BIOLOGY CHEMISTRY Our own heart, and not other men’s opinions, forms our true honour. Save for his fourth year of high school, spent at D’Arcy McGee, Tony has been at Loyola since he entered his prep year in 1952. An industrious student, he has spent the last four years in pursuit of a wide curriculum of courses in the Science Faculty. In his spare time, Tony specialized in dropping sand bags on actors during Loyola’s drama productions. The technical term for this sort of activity is stage-hand. Having received his degree from Loyola, Tony plans to spend the next few years working towards a Ph.D. in world travelling. ACTIVITIES: Intramurals: Volleyball ‘57-58; Football ‘60-61; Swimming ‘'59-’61; Stage crew ‘58-’60. ue 43 JOSEPH W. HOUGHTON ENGINEERING (PHYSICS) Accuse not nature! She hath done her part; Do thou but thine! Milton Joe came to Loyola from a small town, Campbell’s Bay, Que. in the Ottawa Valley. He may always be found either looking up the weather forecast to see if the weather will be suitable for a hitch-hiking venture home, or around the electrical lab looking up amplifiers. Joe plans to continue his studies at McGill in Electrical Engineering. An ardent worker and always willing to lend a hand or a smile, we feel he will succeed in his chosen field of Applied Research in Electronics. ACTIVITIES: Football ‘57-’58, ‘59-'61; Swimming ‘58-'59; E.1.C. ‘58-61. NESTOR KOWALSKY PRE-MEDICAL Nothing is so hard that it does not yield to that which is harder. Nestor (Is there a doctor in the house) Kowalsky entered Loyola from Cardinal Newman High as a sophomore science pre-medical student. Biology, chemistry, and flying are his three manias. His organizational talents were put to use in the Pre- Medical and Pre-Dental Society of which he became president in his senior year. He spent his summers in RCAF control towers directing air traffic. He hopes to do research in aviation medicine after completing his medical studies. His natural ability and deep interest in medicine will rank him among the best in his chosen profession. ACTIVITIES: URTP ‘59-61; Carnival Worker ‘59-’60; Flatterer ‘58-'59; Jester ‘59-’60; Boarders’ Society ‘58-'60; Pre-Medical Pre-Dental Society:- Secretary-Treasurer ’58-'60, President ‘60-’61. 31
