These three words seem to fit him perfectly. The sum of the first two equals the third, if we may be- come mathematical. Although the Varsity fullback (and a good one at that) may object to the “rotund,” we will have it no other way. Take away Chick’s rotundity and you rob him of the quality we hold most dear. His inherent good humor and bubbling enthusiasm are responsi- ble for the second title. Rarely is Chick depressed, unless we count his many “beefing” moods, which we have learned to regard as trivial. His pleasant barytone voice is continually crooning the latest song, thus earning for him the title “Bing.” Keep the smile. Chick, and life will be easy for you. May success and good fortune be yours. ' HIEF” has combined a bril- liant scholastic record with an equally stellar performance as an athlete. Testifying to his emin- ent success in the pursuit of knowl- edge has been the habitual acquisi- tion of medals and prizes. But these testimonials of his ability as a scholar depict but one phase of a notable collegiate career. For Loyola’s sport world will best retain a quickened memory of him for his unbroken four-year dis- play of superb basketball as re- bound specialist and defensive ex- pert in general. Both on the court and in the classroom a studied course of procedure assured more than satisfactory results. With sympathetic and ready assistance an attentive ear was ever turned to the puzzled queries of his class- mates, ■4 23 h-

' HE sophisticate of ’33; king of social lions. The memory of Buck’s -widely acclaimed tonsorial perfection will linger on and on. But not only in this narrow and restricted field did he excel. The list of his interests is longer than his name. Name an activity and you name Buck, usually as a leader. Football manager, managing editor, debater, actor, committeeman — all are in the line of his achievements. But most of all, what accounts for his universal popularity is his winning personality, his natural capacity for leading, his complete self-possession, his recognition of the troubles of others, his perfect willingness to throw his whole self to anyone’s assistance. And so in parting we feel certain that the same traits which he displayed among us will carry him to success in whatever he undertakes. ■LT ERE’S our old friend, Steve, ever smiling, ever genial and always ready to steal a little sleep; oh yes, and always ready to croon. His aggressive play and steady tackles made him the bulwark of, first the Freshman, and later the Sophomore team in the Annual Class contests. Who would believe that this out- spoken and matter of fact Steve had a gift for poetry? Yet, his “Triolet of Weakness” was one of the highlights of the Anthology which the Class published from its work in Freshman year. Gradua- tion will be a real achievement for Steve. He has had the perseverance to hold a steady position along with his regular class work. Steve de- serves a great deal of praise for his pluck and ability and the Class of ’33 cheerfully gives it to him. ■4 22 Ir-

NE November afternoon, four years ago, during the progress of the football game between Loy- ola and St. John’s, an unknown Loyola Freshman, playing one of his first games for the College, got away from scrimmage and made a spectacular 65 yard run for a touchdown. The star of that play was Vince. It was the beginning of a brilliant career in the history of Loyola athletics. For three years, now, Vince has been one of the best backfield men in the State and besides that a dazzling basketball forward. On the academic side, also, he has maintained equally as fine a record which is a noteworthy accomplish- ment. All of these successes have left Vinnie the same simple and generous friend he has always been. TAO NOT be deceived by this in- nocent expression. Loyola’s man about town and gay sophisti- cate is pictured before you. As a result of his many and varied worldly experiences Willie has come to look upon life with a broad and sympathetic philosophy. For a man who has such personal con- tacts we have often wondered how he has been able to retain that ethereal look. It is not entirely misleading, however, for it shows in a manner, that quality of sincerity which, of all his virtues, predominates. Bill was a true friend. We would like to add something to this statement in order to show exactly how we feel about having known him for four years, but no words seem to do very well. We must hope, in its simplicity, it is expressive. -4 24
