T IS ALMOST an impossibility to depict Mike by a stroke of the pen. Possessing a na- ture that is lively and humorous, he does not know the existence of worry. You rarely see Mike without his companion, that unceasing smile, accompanied by a good nature. It is an every-day occurrence to see him in the Blue Room entertaining his classmates by singing one of the latest songs, or relating an interesting event that hap- pened the day before. So, in this way, he has become very popular and an extremely interesting member of the senior class. But his popularity does not exist merely among the students, for he has gained the favor of many of the teachers by his ability to get his lessons. His recitations in Latin are praiseworthy, as well as his Work in mathematics. Mike has been an attentive member of the Senior Debating Society, and has also backed up all the other activities of the school. He also seems to be very popular with the fair sex, for he regularly attends the dances held by the Blue and Gold Club, and we hear that he is a good asset to any party. But why shouldn't he be with his jovial mood and winning smile? As this chapter of our school life closes, Mike, we wish to thank you for your smil- ing countenance, which always seemed like a beacon light in our careers. We hope that the coming years with the burden of experiences will not dim that smile, but that it will carry you to success. .QI 27 Ig..

ROM THE FAR-OFF district of Pikesville comes this gentleman-student known fa- miliarly to us as Johnny. He is the dazzling light of 4-B3 the standard bearer of our large squadron of smart uns. Ever since the time when, back in 1926, he joined us, he has ever been a true friend, a willing helper, and a constant plugger, and with time the class has come to depend upon Johnny. Whenever a diilziculty presents itself-a difliculty of such magnitude that the class is unable to cope with it-then all eyes turn hopefully to the front of the room where our-might we say savior-sits in regal sway. And invariably he has volunteered, cleared up the diiiiculty and earned the grateful praise of the entire class. However, Johnny's talent is confined not only to studies. A crafty man to watch on the Basketball court he is still more tricky on the gridiron. In the senior interclass Football game, he bore the brunt of the backfield's work, taking the ball again and again for constant gains. For his work in other fields also Johnny might be given Commendation. For his con- stant attendance at the weekly meeting of Our Lady's Sodality and his devoutness to the Blessed Virgin, Johnny has time after time been complimented by the moderator. Again in the Debating Society we see him carrying off the honors. The individualities of his style, and the earnestness with which he applies himself and the unlimited amount of common sense that he displays in his arguments are all worthy of a Cicero. .QI 26 Ig..

His STUDENT,S fame lies chiefly in his ability at wielding a pen. Many are his in- teresting humorous essays which have been published in The Loyola. However, writing is not his only forte. In the scholastic realm he has always been one of the honor members of his class. Latin holds no puzzle for him, and the ease with which he can translate Greek sentences is marvelous. Another proof of his prowess lies in his facility in performing the most intricate probems of Trig. He has also dispelled the gloom of many a period by his well-chosen humor. At his graduation the school will lose a loyal, noble son, his classmates will miss his cheery disposition, the magazine will lose a promising humorist and the lunch counter will part with an expert in the art of balancing meringue pies. To such a friend it is hard to bid farewell. I-Iowever, we have now reached the part- ing of our paths, after four years of friendship. With all sincerity we wish you good luck, although we feel certain that your natural talents and earnest perseverance will carry you to the front without any luck. .QI 28 Ig..
