For that very reason, it seems, he did not come to us until but a few months ago (so works Fortune in jealous mood). In this short time, however, he afforded us ample evidence of his talents. A place on the GREYHOUND staff was almost the official notice of his arrival. When he puts down the pen he takes the bema just as naturally, the flow of spoken word rivaling the written. Like all interesting characters, Marty has his mystery. Why does he incessantly wear a black tie. It hardly agrees with his colorful personality. The best solution offered is that the tie is meant to be a contrast for his jovial spirit, for in truth, we have yet to see the lad without a smile or a crisp and per- fectly harmless quip. If we may presume to suggest it, we hope your pen will cavort in the nation ' s leading journals, that we may continue to have you with us at least in spirit. ■ 4 20

THOMAS G. GRAY This young gentleman, with many of us an associate foi eight ' years — and may those years increase — holds an unusual record in the gentle art of repartee. Blessed with the gift of dry humor, his witty remarks have frequently dispersed the storm clouds and caused the sun to break through the desultory skies of test days. Tom is noted as a man about town, giving the impres- sion that he has seen the world at its best and in all its moods. A trip across the continent, and the experience gained thereby, adds a note of authority to what he says. His work on the class Basketball team will long be remem- bered — he hath not his height to no good purpose. He showed his powers of discernment in serving as character reader of his fellowmen in this publication. Think not that Tom contemns the arts. However much Greek poetry may remain Greek to him, he surely knows the poetry of dance, and proved himself a true follower of Terpsichore in his work on the Junior Prom of a year ago. We congratulate the world in being so blessed as to be slated to welcome our dapper good fellow as a prominent citizen. 1 9

Green Gray Gy 1 928 - --- - - — S-f-H JAMES F. KAVANAGH The contribution of Mount St. Joseph’s to the success of the Class of ’28 is this young chap, who answers to the name “Jim.” His specialty is Physics: the Bermudas of which he knows well enough to boast — which he doesn’t — of being Assistant in that department to Father Love, the professor. Though he may suppress his jolly good nature while pro- fessorially inclined, Jim finds expression for his witty self in the spare corners of the GREYHOUND. While never taking an active part in cleating up gridirons, Jim has always been found a m ost ardent supporter of every sort of team that sported the colors of Loyola. He bids fair to carry his enthusiasm into the ranks of the Alumni. Jim proved to be a storehouse of energy, inspiration and assistance as a high light of the Prom Committee. He has always been a good student, especially partial to the different branches of the sciences. It would seem that the future calls him to the higher pursuit of one of these. His intimates avow that Jim will one day add the M. D. to his name. We wish him the best of Fortune’s smiles. -4 21
