Don King It's been worth it. The frustrations. the disappointments. the aggravations. and the failures have been outweighed by the growth I've experienced as a person thanks to the new people and ideas l've encountered here at Loyola. There have been very unique and beautiful people here as well as trying disagreeable ones. There have been very creative and liberating ideas nourished here, as well as overemphasized trivialities. But I can say without a doubt that my life is different now from when I came to Loyola. and in many ways that I had never anticipated. thanks to those new ideas and people. I suppose that when a person can say that he has encountered new things which have carried his life to a point that he had not anticipated. that person has been engaged in an adventure. I like to think of my years here at Loyola as an adventure. I like to think of life as an adventure too. Maybe that's what makes everything worth it. 9 Wiggfd fl at 5:3 if . i1TFT f'f' .af--.,f':,:. -' -- a 1 xngmyz, ,v -Y l 5 6-firm? iifszisi fsfililffw ' 1 V 1. fi .e eil- ' . .2 P' , I gg ml Z' 17X Frank Giambrone When I was asked to write something about my experiences at Loyola for the yearbook. a series of events flashed through my mind-events both en- joyable and otherwise that I will never forget. My first two years at Loyola were spent like those of most other students: going to an occasional class. going to work. and going out to date and drink. But after those two years. I was able to come into contact with the other Loyola. the Loyola that unfortunately. few students get to know. I believe my experiences with the SAB will be invaluable to me. For example. how many people can say they have been able to persuade a Congressman to swallow a goldfish? If the opportunity ever arises again, I shall be ready. fish in hand and phone booth nearby. LThe glories of a well-rounded education are endless.D Later. I was fortunate to become chair- man ofthe SAB. an honor rivaled only by the fact that I was lucky to be classified I-A three times in two years. In the role of chairman. my horizons widened con- siderably. and dotting those horizons were the problems I encountered. There were for example. the tyechb ARA. l'm sure there are words somewhere that would adequately and fittingly describe the Loyola food service organization. but it is better perhaps that they be left un- written. And there was registration fthe day the earth stood stilljz finals La belated Merry Christmas to alll: and finally. basketball ia study in losing as taught by the coachj. But above all else. there were the close friendships and more enriching experiences that have made the whole thing worthwhile.

I look back on fifty years to that September day in l922 when I came to the North Shore Campus of Loyola from St. Ignatius High School where l had been teaching for four years. Father William Agnew. with whom I was ordained in I9l5. was Rector, now called President. Many changes have taken place in personnel. in buildings. in courses offered today. in familiar faces, in the general makeup of the University. So. too, there are changes in the at- titudes of minds and hearts. Students have about the same characteristics. They come to study. do so according to their capacities which are somewhat cur- tailed bythe common mode of life which has taken over and which has brought on a greater liberty of life and freer expres- sion of thought and feeling. This is all to the good if they are open to the direction of those who do the teaching and who have more experience in life. the source of finer and more accurate judgments. Fifty years ago. the student body was smaller. each one knew his neighbor and there was a universal camaraderie between teachers and those who sat on the benches to learn. Life is more diver- sified today. but with all the changes I find the students friendly and loyal in the Loyola tradition. Fifty years ago. there was more ioy. the fruit of a deep seated faith in God. This seems to be lacking today. The result is that there is an absence of personal responsibility. in a goodly number, in fulfilling the duties and obligations we owe God. ln contrast. there are those who. in spite of the smoggy atmosphere. are genuinely spiritual and generous in their service of God. This is as it should be in Jesuit education at Loyola University. --so-W we-,ww '24, wx ev 4 5 :Bi

'xx im Lanahan Whos the keeper of the keys that's plea- sant as can be? J-I-M L-A-NMA-H-A-N Hey there, Hi there, Ho there, he's Mertz Hall's celebrity! J-I-M L-A-N-A-H-A-N Lanahan! Lanahan! Forever let us hold our ID's high! Come along and sing our song join Mertz's family! J-I-M L-A-N-A-H-A-N Yeah Jimmy! Yeah Jimmy! Yeah Jimmy Lanahan! Earle W. Otto Earle Otto is the Superintendent of the Physical Plant. ln his domain are the care of the power house, which supplies both heat and air-conditioning to all Lake Shore Campus buildings, the custodial services, maintenance of both grounds and buildings, as well as all new con- struction and remodeling. Approximate- ly one hundred of the staff personnel report to Mr. Otto. The preparation and administration of all projects pertaining to the Physical Plant, except security, are in his charge. Mr. Otto is a family man, married to Paula in I942. He has two married daughters who live in Glenview, Illinois and Southport, North Carolina. He brings broad experience to his work at Loyola which began in June of l97O. After five years of service in the U.S. Army Engineers Corps, terminated in I946. he went to Northwestern Universi- ty, Chicago Campus, Building and Grounds Department. He stayed there until I952 when he joined the staff of IIT. As for his contacts with Loyola faculty and students, he feels that they have been on a high and human level. He has tried to be available to expressions of needs and service, although his resources are not unlimited and so has occasionally had to work out some kind of compromise between the desires of faculty and students and the realities. He finds the Loyola students and faculty hard-working and dedicated to im- proving the school, with his cooperation, by all the means at their disposal. He takes great satisfaction in his contribu- tion to the efforts that build up the Loyola University community and lead to the goals that the community is work- ing for. In I972, he and Mr. James Lanahan were the recipients of service awards from SAB. He was both surprised and delighted, as was his wife. l ' ,wa e i- i . ,.,., A ur' A .. Q-
