THOMAS BARTON HARRINGTON Like the chrysanthemum and aster, blossoming late in the summer of life, Bart burst forth in the delicate flower of oratorj in his senior year. We envy him, few of us have similar ambitions, indeed we all accepted life as it came, avoiding as much as possible everything savoring of labor. As president of the Dramatic Association and portrayer of the royal role in Henry IV, Barton proved himself to be an actor of quality, and the success of the annual Shakespeare production was greatly due to his skill and untiring efforts. Like all great artists our erstwhile king is quite a connoisseur of the beautiful. The concern that was thoughtful enough to place linoleum on Lex- ington St., would have shown much prudence had they asked our class politician to wear lighter soles. Triangular love affairs were ever in- tricate. Sometimes the hypotenuse is victor sometimes one of the other sides. But when neither is victorious and when the hjqDotenuse and one of the other sides can’t even form parallel lines the situation is in- deed horrible. In the game of life Bart holds four aces: Ingenuity, perseverance, personality and diplomacy. Always quiet and unassuming Bart has long been one of the best liked and most respected men at Loyola. 23

ALOYSIUS CHESTER KEARNEY At a recent meeting of the College Athletic Association, “Ches” was acclaimed the “one real sport” of senior class. Of this there can be no doubt. For seven years on the basket-ball court he has done credit to the College. Always game, fighting to the last, a good sport, a clean player, and consistent shot, are just a few of the things we might write of his activities. Then too “Ches” is one of the few men of his age that can boast of being a Fourth Degree member of the Knights of Columbus. Apparently he isn’t easily seduced by the winsome wiles of the flap- per, nor by the staid complacency of those who have passed the “deb” age and are now reading David Graham Phillips, Robert W. Chambers, Sinclair Lewis, etc., ad nauseam with a vengeance. Another and not the least of Chester’s qualities is his power of im- personation. The comedians of the screen have nothing that Ches can- not imitate and improve upon. And to have Chaplin or Harold Lloyd perform in the person of Ches is the daily experience of the senior classmen. While most unconscious of his ability as a comedian, Ches exhibits the utmost reticence relative to his hi monthly trips to Philadelphia and insists that he would not go oftener if they ran excursion trains every week. Whatever may be his future work here’s every best wish to him. “Chosen for large designs he has the art Of winning with his humor and he went Straight to his mark.” 1921 25
