(Ulip (ElaHH nf 1920 3 DAY was drawing to a close — a day filled with the joy and happiness of which oiir very souls ])artook. A day when such good-fellowship reigned supreme that we scarcely anti- cipated the shadows that foretell its close. We recall the morning of our school days, the light-liearted, carefree moments the noontime of more studious hours and sober thought; bask- ing in the afternoon sunshine of loyal friendships, loving associations and congenial atmosphere. In tlie fading sunset we stand at the thresli- old of ap])roaching night, wondering, (treaming, hoping, gazing into that iinex])lored, uncarved reality — tlie future. No more shall we meet in llie corridors of old Loyola. Yes, the day is drawing to a close. With conflicting emotions we gaze ui)on our Alma Mater, slowly becoming enwraped in the gathering mists. We are not de])resse(t, sad as it may he, to leave so true a friend. For, Atina Mater, you have infused your ideals into us. Your very name means much to us now. Yes, we have come to the j)arting of the ways, each perhajis taking a different ])ath, all striving for the ultimate goal Success. It is ditiicult to say just when our class had its beginning. “Joe” Doyle, though he came from “prep,” diet not join us until tliis year. “Charlie” Ciotti joined us in Freshman, whilst “Tom” Kelly can still recall the da s of Joyful High Scliool. “Tom,” like “Joe” received the fundamentals of Latin and Greek from Rev. M. A. Purtell. It was not long before the class that was destined “not to be” had passed from under the guiding hamt of llie strict, hut sympathetic. Father Josei)h Huefner. So much did he love us lhat our comj)any was desired for a short ])eriod each afternoon. With the ])assing of another summer we returned to the Halls of Loyola to be met by Mr. Francis O ' Hara, S.J. Resides having tlie most perfect system of “jugging’’ we have ever met he was the organizer of our once famous class team. June of 191 6 found twenty-six of us lighting hard, under the leadership of Father Geale, to gain that much coveted prize- a High School diploma. Upon our return to Freshman many familiar faces were missing. Rut our ranks were strengthened when Charles J. Ciolti joined us. The god of fortune was kind indeed in sending the unsuriiassable Father Hargadon to guide our footsteps, and just when we were beginning to realize the importance of our jiosi lions the saddest event of our college career took place, for praclically half of our class, heeding the call of country, marched off to war. 5

When we returned the following September our members had decreased to six. In passing it is but fair to recall those old classmates, for surely no one could pass by without mentioning Hauf, Herrmann, Rakow, Hiskey, Hodges, Barrett, Monaghan and our departed but much esteemed friend “Bill” Wickham. So the class of “we are six” passed a wonderful year under the ever smiling Father Finegan. We don’t know why he smiled, whether it was because of our efforts in Cicero or because of our attempts in Demosthenes. As we stood on the brink of Junior we were startled, indeed half- afraid, of the magnitude of the subject before us. Our fears were soon dispelled and with complete confidence in our guide we saw the indus- trious Father Ooghe carry us across the ever-widening vales of knowl- edge. For two years he carefully instructed and counseled us, and now at the pinnacle of our efforts instead of feeling our own importance, we realize our sheer insignificance in this world. We also appreciate another man. Father Henry McLoughlin, whose good humor fitted in precisely with our mathematics and chemistry. Anyone who could forget the throbbing of his heart when, after having been called for a recitation, he could not answer, surely could never have been in Father McLoughlin’s class. To Mr. Thomas J. Love, S.J., who treated us to physics we owe a great debt of gratitude for his painstaking efforts to have us properly mentally equipped. Let us not forget Father Richard A. Fleming, a mention of whose name is sufficient to recall many pleasant years — years filled with vali- ant efforts to keep alive the spirit of goodfellowship in the school. Ungrateful would it be not to mention Father Stinson. Always solicitous for our welfare he formed a biological laboratory, worthy of the name. His practical talks each Friday morning have helped greatly in forming our characters. Thus have we completed our memorable days at Loyola. Our story has been told and in a few more days we shall pass from the walls that have so long sheltered us. Soon we must face the world. Oh Alma Mater, fighting for the principles you have infused into us. May your spirit never leave us! May your counsel remain with us forever, so that in the days to come we may ever point to Loyola and exclaim : “My strength, my ideal, my guide.” May the day never come when our Alma Mater would he ashamed to say: “My Child.” May our future days retlect back the crystallized principles you gave us, and may our actions be ever in accord with that motto you tried to impress on us, “Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.” Thomas P. Kelly, ’20. 6
