Someone once said that life is one sweet dream. Although this sentiment has been repeatedly as- sailed, it finds a staunch supporter in Joe. Unruffled by any of life’s perplexities, Joey sees only the lieaceful, tranquil summer days in his existence, when the Jiirds sing sweet love-songs and the o])en wilderness extends its call to all. For accuracy, neatness and sys- tem, Joe has few equals among his classmen and may be safely attributed the distinction of be- ing the most lovable member of Senior. We often wonder whether there is anything but good nature in him, since he never shows the least perturbation when a joke is sprung at his expense. Among his many places of recreation, Joe holds a warm spot in his heart for “River View” park, whence he received the name “Potamoiisis.” As an authority on automobiles he stands high amongst his classmen, and his extensive information on practical topics is of great benefit to his friends. As surely as the sun rises and sets, so surely wall Joe not fail to take his daily walk on Lexington street. But as he is a keen observer of human nature perha])s this section of the city affords him a wade field of exj)erimentaiion. Our friend’s future seems to he the business world; we think him admirably adapted to this, and we feel his ability and good traits will reap for him a fruitful harvest. 25

I Our most ardent patriot. That “it is l)etter late than never” is a prineiple whieh Bill l)elieve(l and apj lied. But lie surprised every- one wlien he forsook studies and doinestie liajijiiness to he one of tlie first volunteers in Unele Sam ' s Naval Militia. The separation from former ties must have been a trying ordeal for him. To de- sert our Philosojiliy class was no easy matter for one who revelled in Philosophic “ditficultics.” How- ever, fighting will come natural to this son of the South. Bill is a clear thinker and a man of good judgment. It is fortunate that Philosophy did not obtain a stronger grip on him, for just as sure as the study of that great science tends to make jicrsons cynical. Bill would have become a full-fledged jicssimist. His deli- cacy, quaint taste and literary ability combine to make a unique jiersonality, which gains for him admirers and friends wherever he goes. If he were Presidenl all jiroteclive tariff would he abolished. He would follow the Democratic iiarty if it jiassed through Hades, and now de- fends their tenets and his own jiet theories with the tenacity and un- flinchingness of Stonewall Jackson. Bill is not a ])uhlic sjieaker, but he made famous the siieech of Portia in Shakespeare’s “Merchant of Venice.” Some seem to think he sjiends too much time in the study and jiractice of “Boology.” Like many other memliers of the class. Bill hears the call ol Law, and the call is not misdirected. When he re- turns glory-laden from tlie ranks and strikes out in civil life we hope for and antici])ate a career that will merit many laudations and laurel wreaths. 24

Hiisint ' ss iiiaiiagci’ oT The Ax- X ' l .vE, a roiiiu ' i’ Vicr-Pr( ' si(k ' nl of llu ' Loyola Daljaling Society, Vice- I ' icsidcMil ol llic present Senior, aie a lew oT the honored positions heslov. ' ed on our ever-siniling and aniiahle ciassinate. Voted the most ardent supj)orter ol’ all col- lege ' runctions. Jim has the unique iej)utation of never missing an athletic contest in his career. As an executive of the basketball team he did splendid work in con- structing an ellicient business de- partment, so indispensa])le to the suceess of the team. Reeenth elected the political authority of the class, his etiscussions on annex- eilion are ' a se)urce of valuable in- I ' oi Illation te) liis benighted col- le ' iigues. Usually reticent on all teijiies, but emce the peill of silence falls there is no telling when it will rise again. His delightful humor and pleasing disjiosition have gaineel him man} ' friends during his seven years sojourn at Loyola. Always willing to change an opinion when convinced of the contrary. Helel an intense aversion toward Philosojiby in Junior year, but ojiposition gradually melted into a love for this “Queen of Scienees.” Me now sjiends as much time imjiroving its usefulness as he did former- ly in heajiing condemnation on it. With the ladies, so gossip has it, .Jim holds a rather |)rominent soeial reputation. Perhaps this accounts for his fre({uent visits to Pkiston, where juany of our “fairer sisters ' ” dw( ' ll. Hoj)es to ( ' liter the jirofession of law. His talents will be his h( ' st assets, .limmy, we jiledgc ' our faith in your ability and wish you weallh, lu ' allh and hap])iness. 26
