Loyola was once a sea of youthful faces. Here they congregate in the chapel for a special function... Well my dear son, some day you will be writing to your own, and although | never earned or won a prize, | have lived to cherish fond memories of my days at Loyola, and | hope you will enjoy similar and in the process make good friends and keep them as you would pre- cious souvenirs—souvenirs such as a Hingston, a Divine, all of the Mics and the Macs, a Hol- land, a Nelligan, the Keating brothers, a Kennedy, a Bartlett, a Mulcahey — a McLennan, a Walsh, a Lalley, a Filion, a Downes, a Chabot, a McCarthy, a Kelley, a Leahy, and others as the famous and unforgetable Thomas |. Gascon, of Boston Col- lege fame, with the rear and flanking guards of the Stanfords, a Malone, a Deslauriers, and a Smeaton. Should you not find a solution to any problem you may en- counter at College, and wish to seek outside help, you might contact Judges Paul Casey or Emmett McNanamy for guid- ance, and if they fail or disap- point you, then rely on another friend and historian, Timothy Patrick Slattery, but above all, and as a final source, seek out Joel McCrea, of The Bell. Your mother asked me to write a very long letter to you, to brighten you up a bit during your first week at Loyola, and | believe | have pretty much ful- filled her wish. Don't show this around, but use it as a ‘quo vadis , as it might give you a soothing idea of the frightful transition from that period of which. | write, where there was quiet and calm, to meet this period of the ever encircling quest for that some- thing that has so spirited our so-called intellectuals of today, in their maddened rush for the capture of that social and eco- nomic security, without patience or moderation, and much less with any work and sacrifice that such a goal should demand.

Sher NES BRS e: Once the chemistry lab, the room above now nests the main student lounge in the Administration Building. Where once were racks of neatly stacked tubes now rest cigarette-burnt chairs and newspaper-strewn floors. From all of these beginnings, we have Rusty Davis and a Robert Emmett Dolan, who have done well for themselves in the musical world, together with Eric Zimmerman and his sister, Maria, and a number of others. George Daly never intended to become the world's best organist, but he exercised a great influence and set a standard from which one could judge his own capabil ities. The Cuddahy brothers were always available to compliment Cuthbert Scott's mandolin club, and while Mark Girard tried to teach George a new theme of hymnal, only to give up the effort for lack of co- operation, he went his own way with the im- provisional music during chapel exercises, to the complete dismay of the McLean sisters, but with- out disturbing the good fathers, as most Jesuits are not generally musical. 18 I
