-ii -sf r-l- f' -- a 5 tHe moment The swift, fleeting measure of time by which men record the memories to cherish for a lifetime. These are the long-to-be remembered moments of a Loyola lifetime . . . The academic moments of inquiry, understanding, intellectual fulfillment. The spiritual moments when the heart instinctively seeks for God. The cultural moments when great literature, art, and music contribute to the elevation of the soul. The happy moments of good will, merriment, convivialityg the sad moments of shared disappointments, sorrows, and unexpected failure. 111 'I 1 u,xXX K , 3 I s ,. Xxx
