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

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

President Atliletic Association, Cliairinan Alumni College Athletic Board, Manager College Basket- ball Team. Captain College Base- ball Team. President of the St. Thomas Philosophical Society and ex-President of the Loyola Debating Society. An “all around’” good fellow. The books he took from Loyola as premiums, both in High School and College, dem- onstrate that he is a consist- ent student. “Herb” has natural as well as accfuired beauty. His attractiveness and delicacy of car- riage prove irresistable to the gentler portion of the species, and a billet-doux in his admirable handwriting has sent many a modern Venus into a state of ecstacy. When it comes to oratory “Herb” outshines the ethereal lamp])osts. He made his debut in 1913, when he ca])tured the High School medal for excel- lence in public debate. Has now become an oratorical sjjecialisl on President Wilson and St. Patrick. But “Herb.” does not confine his activity to Classics and Philoso])hy. As an athlete he looms uj) consid- erably in football, baseball and l)askelball. As manager of tbe 1916- 1917 basketball team he merited a most enviable re])ulation. If Loyola had established a course for “politicians” “Herb” “couldn’t be beat,” and the College debt would increase by virtue of tbe innumerable medals he could not help but win. Fortunately, Romulus has chosen a j)rofession well suited to his ability and eccentricities, and some day we ho])e to find him a jirominent lawyer, but still more ])rominent as a tigure in Mary- land politics and a rival to the reputation of “Sonny” Mahon. 27
