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

RAYMOND BERNARD FURLONG The minute-man of ’21. Ray’s activities are so numerous and varied that it is quite difficult to become concrete in discussing them. “Buddy” must be a Dynamist. He may not reach the same conclusions as Palmieri and his followers, but certainly, the all-pervading and radiating quality of his character is force. “Let’s Go,” “How soon will you be ready,” and “Do it now,” are his favorite and becoming platitudes. President of the Athletic Association, winner of the Jenkins Medal for proficiency in public debate, successful defendant of class rights before the Faculty, socially popular and scholastically prominent, Raymond sets a pace enviable to all Loyola. A hypocritical cynic, he would have you believe that he momentarily awaits plague and peril, while his intrinsic optimism is singular. Senior’s veritable A1 Jolson, the customarily sedate Mr. Furlong at proper times assumes the role of the monologuist and his discourses on such occasions furnish happy breaches in the unavoidable monotonj of the class day. If j ou would ask me when Ray would con- cede to enter the wiles and disappointments of the business world, my inclination would be to count the buttons on your vest and reply: “This year, next year, year after, never.” Rajmiond is professionally inclined and few of us would try to dissuade him from his course. Prophecy has it that reportorial work will have the advantage of his future endeavors, and we all, not onlv feel assured of his success, but will feel satisfied only when eminence crowns his career. “He knows what’s what, and that’s as high As metaphysic wit can fly.” IS2I 19
