Green Gray •♦■ft — — Gy 1928 WILLIAM J. BULLEN Behold a future Secretary cf Treasury, one with three years of practical experience in financial farming. He finds it a study in psychology to take account of the sundry excuses he receives instead of silver. Bill is truly a man of wide experience. He has held posi- tions that afforded him abundant study in human nature, all of which has had a telling effect on him in every way save one — it has not added a tone of seriousness to his genial disposition. Never fear that he will be a pessimist: rather is he destined to give adverse fortune the laugh. Bill lays claim to something of managerial ability. The worth of his claim finds vindication i n the excellence with which he handled varsity activities in his own choice of athletic endeavor. Our fine friend finds opportunity to do justice to his sound- ness of judgment in the meetings of the Student Council, wherein he nobly takes the part of the athletic life of the college.

Green Gray Qy 1928 . = r -, ■ -r - --j :=z= 7- GERALD O’D. BOWERSOX Smiling Jerry, of whom you ' ve heard; He spoke so much without a word. This epigram is quite apropos to the man you see before you. He always greets you with a smile, such a one as has disarmed many an irate infringer upon his good nature. In his four years at Loyola no one confesses to having ever seen Jerry in a hurry: he simply ambles along, doing what he is sup- posed to do, no more, no less. Not that he considers his share of the world’s work to be small, but he considers the huge amount of it to be no more than his due. Jerry is a man of numbers. As manager of the Basketball team he kept his eye on calendar dates; as storekeeper at all games he kept the figures true. His keen interest in matters athletic shows that Jerry prefers to follow the Greeks to fame through the palaestra. Let it be recorded in bronze that Jerry helped bring fame to ’28 in the first Soph-Frosh football tilt. - 1 2 llJs—

1 928 Green Gray JOSEPH F. DANAHER St. Charles’ College claimed our fair friend before he came to us. We are glad for our own sake that it did not claim him longer, for Joe has stood forth among us in defense of activities that might otherwise have gone the path of forgotten days His solicitude brought him its own reward: Joe was elected President of the History Club and well is he proud of the honor. No one claims to have seen Joe in football togs, but the cheerleaders affirm that he gave his vocal cords ample exercise. He has some pretentions to being a singer too: often has he helped to swell the chorus in chapel, only to degrade his art, alas! by going second tenor a note or two higher in modernistic quartets. We do not assume any prophetic powers, yet we feel safe in saying that if Joe applies his manly character and diligence to the role allotted him in professional life as well as he did in our lowly midst, then will the gods smile graciously upon him. 1 4
