EL CAMINO THE ROBIN ' S RETURN Hail, joyous dweller of the vale, Sweet harbinger of Spring, Awake, awake, thou sluggard earth, We hear thee blithely sing. The new-born violets raise their heads, Thy thrilling call to hear; V ' hat magic, Robin, guiiles thee home With each succeeding year? Enticing Childhood to the fields To pluck the daisies gay, Its merry laugh, its wanton shout. Fit rivals of thy lay. For thee, sweet bird, the world is bright, Thy sky is ever clear; No note of sadness dulls thy life. No winter mars thy year. — Karl E. Von der Ahe .yt- — I 17 I

yji EL CAMIN oZTO SMy ' Dear Students: Ssto vir — be a man, was the ancient good advice given in Holy Writ to the youth of Qod ' s chosen people, for that people, afflicted with many and varied vicissitudes, required a sturdy manhood to lead them from slavery into the kingdom of freedom and delight. Clear thinkers, clean-hearted, courageous jews were required to guide the destiny of their great nation, and history attests that it was just that type of man that led the chosen people of Qod. SMy dear young men, the life we live today requires just those same characteristics, and so I bid you be a man. Our pathway is strewn with the briars of deceit and the brambles of intrigue; enemies from within and from without lurk along this pathway; the sun of comfort will not shed its rays upon us, and we are bid to press on. Only the stout of heart will mount this rugged path- way and co)ne to the eternal way. A real man will not be overcome by false friends, falsely accusing him; he will not be overcome by the wiles of Satan; he will not be overcome by poverty, sickness, labor, or anything else. ' Be a man — charge you never to forget this, so that when you are in the midst of your turmoil, of your trouble, you will look back to Loyola and remember that we told you Be a man. devotedly Tour ' President, V- . : I 19 ]
