His angelic countenance evidences a modest and humble disj)osition. Blushes al the thought of having led the class alphabetically for seven years, and hides his Philosoj)hy medal and Classics ijremiums where none hut the si)irits can see them. Keen of intellect and ex- tremely elastic of longue, he can win the laurels of almost any dis- putation, whether the subject he “Kthics” or “free lunch.” A thor- ough student and friendly adviser. Agrees with florace on the ques- tion of moderation, hence mixes work with recreation and heaj)s of sleej). Ed is recognized l)y the class as the most widely known clul)man, since rei)ort has it that he controls all the “wet” cIuIjs of South Baltimore. Started out to educate himself socially Init soon found himself trying to educate society. Being a connoisseur of art, he naturally sought to become ac- (|uainted with “Terpsicliore,” but a lack of reci|)rocation caused him to discontinue his achances on that fair damsel. A Philosoj)her through and through, he philosojjhizes on the “movies ” It is an easy matter I ' or him to tell you offhand the characteristics and histrionic ai)ility of any i)rominent motion ])iclure actor. Budded forth as a i)ul)lic speaker in Freshman and has been consj)icuous in oratorical contests since. No one knows what course of life Eddie will j)ursue, but no one thinks it worth while to learn, since all concede his ability and aptitude to reach llu ' ajjcx of any literary or scienlitic hill he strives to climb. 22

effect that alteration ot mind so necessary to make us intelligent advo- cates in tlie cause of truth and morality, ffhe fruit of his work has been a deep and lasting imprint on our character. Our last year at Loyola was blessed with the advent of the affable Father Burkett. Master of the science of Ethics, he thoroughly ingrained in us an extensive and profound knowledge of this practical liranch of Phil osoi)hy. With a view to the interest of the student, Father Burkett instituted the St. Thomas Philosopliical Society, whose members con- tril)uted an essay subject to the criticism and discussion of their class- mates. Father Burkett’s year at Loyola was one of great benefit and continual joy to the student. Ungrateful would we lie if, in passing, we failed to pay a tribute of respect and gratitude to Father Fleming. Ever solicitous for our wel- fare, he established a Senior English class which he himself volunteered to teach. Fortunately for us this stej) was most o])})ortune, as it enaliled us to review the essentials of our language, which even a Senior is apt to forget. Father Fleming’s useful and jiractical talks in this class rendered us an incalculable service. Tims we have completed our memorable days at Loyola. In them we find only jojv happiness and contentment. Without them our life would he but a great void, with every kind of capabilitj unsatisfied. Now that these days are over and the critical period of our existence has arrived, we feel with particular keenness the need of th e guiding hand, the wise and sagacious counsel of our Alma Mater. Assuredly she shall not be found wanting. For though we leave her sac.rcd walls to enter uj)on the manifold and divers paths of our ambitions, her omnipresent spirit shall remain, penetrate and ennoble our lives, in- vigorate and enlighten both body and soul in the mighty struggle for our heavenly goal.

A consistent student and enthu- siastic athlete may well character- ize our friend Johnny, from Govans. Although uncompromis- ing even to obstinacy in many of his views, John is no shirker and gained the friendshij) of his class- mates as well as the respect of all those with whom he has ever come in contact. As manager of the hasehall team he deserves special credit for his zealous work in preparing a schedule that held out exceed- ingly bright j)rospects for Loyola ' s name in this sport. In his early years Johnny has been the win- ner of many i)remiums and has figured more or less prominently in public scholastic exercises. He is an authority on nature ' s pro- ducts and claims some preten- tions as a judge of high art.” However, we will not vouch for his ability in this department. He has the greatest actual displacement ability ot liis classmen, although his Irulky stature does not interfere with his nynn)h-like agility. In the social activity of Govans he seems to liloy a very important part, and has the unenviable reimtation of always having something to sell. But Johnny will simjily tell you that it is a charitable purpose and thus obviates all objections. John’s determination of mind will he a great asset towards Ids success in the jirofession of law, which he contemplates entering. We wish him luck in a sjilendid and joyful iuture. 23
