.V. ROBERT LAWRENCE DAVIS There is but one of us in Senior blessed by Divine Providence with that very unique faculty of maintaining a reserved silence, yet at the proper moment bursting forth into a delicate flower of subtle oratory, comparable to Edmund Burke or Daniel O’Connell. All of us know, and envy his ability as an orator. On three occasions has he taken medals for public speaking. And as our representative in the St. Joseph- Loyola Debate he brought back a crown of glory. In the philosophic path of graces he has also cleverly passed every mother’s son of us, giving our dejected spirits naught but the little consolation of “Excuse my dust.” In recognition of his ability, a very versatile ability, positions of importance have been thrust upon him. President of Senior class, of the Dramatic Association, and Prefect of the Sodality. And ably did he accomplish the work incident to these various offices with that inborn quality of leadership. Perhaps he has an incentive. I say perhaps, yet that there can be no doubt of it. Anyone who takes such an attitude as to assert that the maxim “There is strength in numbers” in nowise applies to one’s enamouritas, certainly is not without some incentive. The Hawaiian Islands are the claimants of Larry’s years. What green eyed monsters we are, seeing him as we do, in the pale yellow moonlight, smiling, ever smiling, at the amber colored natives as they trip the light fantastic on the beach at Waikiki. “Reason’s whole pleasure, all the joys of sense Lie in three words — health, peace and competence.” 021 15

JAMES JOSEPH EGAN Meet Lochinvar, ladies! Let us present the matinee idol of all dramas and comedies portraying the gentle sweetness of Atfaire du Coeur. Not only is Joe the handsomest man in college and one of the best liked but he is appropriately conspicuous in the following ways; a good fellow, a true friend, a diligent student, a successful salesman, a graceful danseur, a famed horseman, and a game hunter. Joe is deserving of not a little praise and gratitude from the student body at large. Entering upon the duties of manager of the basketball team as a novice, wholly unacquainted with the position he arranged a schedule which has no equal in the College Annals. During his idle moments, which are very few Joe takes his class mates sight-seeing in his new machine, which is of such a type as to give the theorists of the gas engine ample practical experience. If Joe’s efforts in his proposed engineering career are as fruitful as liis work has been during his scholastic course, the next twenty years will probably see seven new wonders added to the architectural world. “His life was gentle, and the elements So mixed in him that Nature might stand up And say to the world. This is a man”. 17
