Green Gray Gy 1928 EDWARD S. MATALIS Coming along from High School spent at Calvert Hall. Ed brought with him the cognomen, “Old Pete.” Always a serious student and a successful one, the appellation seems to fit him well, for his college days have not warranted a change. He is a man of wide ability. Among the latest of his records is that of billiard champion. Those with longer mem- ories remember him as a tower of strength in the famous and first Soph-Frosh” football game back in ’26, when he stood bleeding, but unbowed with the French battle cry on his lips: ‘‘They shall not pass,” ‘‘Still waters run deep,” the sage tells us. Our philosophic Ed does not preach the dictum, but shows his belief in it by his quiet manner of accomplishing great things. May the future make of him another Faraday that his field of accomplishments may be complete. 23

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 -

Green Gray Gy 1 928 =====» • RAYMOND D. MENTON Ray, familiarly known as ‘ ' Pop, joined the class in Junior year after a year spent in the business world. Originally he was a member of ’27, but doubtlessly realizing the potentiali- ties of this year ' s class, he waited for us to catch up with him. Pop takes great delight in posing as a cynic, but his class- mates know only too well that when the time for action comes there is no more loyal student than this young man. Coming to Loyola directly from Loyola High School, Ray has been an active member of the student body since that time, with the interim mentioned breaking the continuity of years. He has ever been a good student, performing his work con- scientiously and thoroughly, as his standing among the leaders well signifies. Of his future Pop says but little. He is evidently a man who will do things first and say what little he will say about them afterward. 24
