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

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

Green Gray Qy 1928 = -— r- ■■ rr - — — .- ...■ ■ - —rrr gf - WILLIAM F. KILLIAN Another veteran of the old school from Calvert Street way. This dapper Arab can make a friend quicker than a social climber, and with easier methods: one witticism, and there you are. Gus” — who ever wished such a nickname on such an Apollo. — would be most pleased to be set down in these annals as the boon companion of the be-spectacled chap inter- viewed a few pages back. In him we have another of rare accomplishments. He it was who “ptesidented” the Junior Prom, and consequently, led the promenade. When there is a question of ways and means, Bill — not an alias — can well devise raffles. Did you ever see his smile! Count it as something great, for it sums up his entire personality. Small wonder that every- body likes him. He is a great man: born great is the part of the famous phrase that best describes him. And being great, he is an optimist, seeing the bright side of everything. Even the famous Soph-Frosh game had its bright side, and he, to be sure, was on that side. Bill has received the tribute of his mates: he was twice President and twice Vice-President — behold the evidence of the golden mean! 22 -
