THOMAS PETER COYLE, A. B. Football, ’26, ’27, ’28, T HERE are some people who are consciously humorous, and there are others who add to their wit by suppressing their self-consciousness. The former are selfish because the ultimate object of their mirth is their own enjoyment; while the latter are generous in that their obvious purpose is to make others forget the seriousness of life. A typical example of the former is one who laughs at his own jokes and witticisms, and to our mind the best example of the latter is Tom Coyle. Tom is not a Baltimorean, like the most of us, but on the contrary is a native of Philadelphia, which city he has forsaken for the last four years in order to pursue the flowery path of learning at Loyola. As a student, an ath- lete and an all-around good fellow he ranks above the average. Consequently, when he returns to the City of Brotherly Love, if his achievements there are of the same kind as those which for four years past have characterized his Balti- more career, we have no doubt of his future success. Brevity is the soul of wit.” — Hamlet. T wentu-eiaht

WILLIAM JOHN BUNTING, JR., A. B. Football, ' 25. ' 26, ' 27, ' 28: Basketball. ' 26, ' 27, ' 28. ILL calls Philadelphia the “Wonder City.” And why shouldn ' t he.’’ That is where this powerful giant resides. Anyone who has watched 24 r ' the performances of our William at tackle on the Greyhound eleven during the past four years will certainly admit that Baltimore has be- held at least one of the wonders from the City of Brotherly Love. His strength and generalship on the football field were the main factors in his election to the captaincy of the team for the 1928 campaign. Bill has also seen consid- erable action on the basketball court. As a guard on the varsity he displayed some excellent ability at taking “rebounds” from the opponents’ baskets. Yet, notwithstanding his athletic prowess, Mr. Bunting is philosophically inclined, and many have been the intellectual encounters in the lunchroom be- tween him and his friendly adversaries. It is our earnest hope that success will perpetually be yours, Bill. “For thou art framed of the firm truth of valor.” - — King Henry V. T wenty -seven

JOHN EDWARD DOYLE, A. B. Assistant Manager, Basketball, ' 29. ffl vO, ERE, gentle reader, we have an ardent follower of Scholasticism and a true Peripatetic. John also embodies something of a Demosthenes, and it seems a shame that his eloquence should be hidden in the laboratory, where, we understand, John ' s future will be spent, rather than adorn- ing the Forum. This young man is the possessor of an inquiring mind, and is gifted with a knack of prying into things rather than accepting them upon superficial appearances. Such is his love of argumentation that we have often been led to wonder whether, in the absence of a discoursive antagonist, he does not argue with himself. Unquestionably John has mastered what the Solons tell us is the secret of success, tireless application and unending perseverance, which predict a bright future for our comrade. And so in parting we, his classmates, send along with him our joint and several good wishes for a bright and happy future. ‘Whose honor and whose honesty Endured all weathers.” — Winter ' s Tale.
