Class Poem .....,5Hg,...- The sands that mark the hours as they pass Are falling ever swiftly, one by one. Thus, swiftly to the bottom of the glass Our golden sands of high school life have run. And others, now, will occupy our place, And other laughter echo through your hallsg New, happy lads, clasped tight in your embrace, Will find a haven deep within your walls. Faint sounds of battle echo in our ears, And Life's loud trumpet summons us from play And books. We dof the cloak of carefree years To don youth's shining armor for the fray. In silent peace before the battle's start, We kneel a precious moment at thy feet, To make a final vow before we part To drink the wine of victory or defeat. Whether we bear our banner to the fore Or, crushed and broken, lie behind the line, Our lives and deeds shall be as candles pure, That burn forever brightly at thy shrine. 'ma aural..

WILLIAM J. LANIGAN, S.J. MR. ALBERT A. BECKWITH, S.J. Four fleeting years ago, in September of 1933, the portals of Loyola opened to receive us,-a frightened, yet hopeful, group of boys. From that moment on, our careers have been crowned with pleasant surprises and intellectual labors. But even the word labor lost its dreaded meaning, as we made all four years pleasant by our friendships, contact, and en- thusiastic support of Loyola in her chain of activities. We have advanced in wisdom and age, and now, as Seniors on the eve of Graduation, we pause to reflect on those four years which have passed all too quickly. Our first year as Loyola boys was spent at Calvert Street, and we soon became accustomed to the manner and teaching of These Terrible J esuitsf' Then, in our second year, our big desire was realized when we moved to Blakefield, the new and beautiful Loyola. Here, inspired by the beauty of the surroundings and the freshness of the atmosphere, we made our iirst bid for recognition as true sons of Loyola. We learned that an inti- mate and enthusiastic participation in all activities was a characteristic of a real Loyola man, and we determined to do our part. Those represent- ing our class in athletics performed creditablyg this year, they were fore- most in number and ability on the various teams wearing the Blue and Gold. Our activities were by no means limited to athletics. Many ener- getically entered scholastic activities and we are proud of the work which our classmates have accomplished in the Sodality, in Debating, and in the Dramatic and Literary Societies.
