DANISH all anxiety and care or you may not hold audience -with Tom. For in our long association ■with him ■we have arrived at the conclusion that it is a mandate of his nature that w o r r y be dis- favored. As scholar, musician, lin- guist and actor, he has shown a versatility whose dominance in the man can be challenged only by a spirit of benevolence and altruism. Both witty and profound, no one’s unwarranted lament escaped his parody while justified appre- hension found him solicitous. A wide knowledge and an insatiable inquiry into the philosophy of cur- rent affairs stamped him a respon- sible and intelligent thinker. Now we can only charge you to retain that cheerfulness and urbanity of mien so that we may keep faith with our memories of you forever. DAITH in the time-honored be- lief, “Perseverance gains its reward,” was immeasurably con- firmed when Ed was elected Presi- dent of the Chemists’ Club. It was the natural culmination of a well- defined plan, that had for its end the mastery of the principles of chemistry. His quest for the solu- tion of chemical complexities was characteristic of a nature that spared no effort in achieving its objective. In our lacrosse venture, Ed’s faithfulness and ability aided materially in the smooth function- ing of an uncertain undertaking. Ed possesses a steadiness born of experience and tempered with a sense of humor that flows from a deep well of human understand- ing. We prophesy the future suc- cess that is bound to resul t from any project that he may undertake.

Sodality 1, 4; Chemists’ Club 2, 4; Virg-il Academy 1; Greyhound, circu- lation Manager 3, 4; Circulation Manager, Green and Gray; History Academy 2, TIJERE is a fellow who would rather wrestle with an intri- cate math problem than enjoy a turkey dinner. A broad statement, but a true one. Paul’s most marked characteristic is his unbounded generosity. Never has he failed to help the puzzled chemist or physi- cist, and we’ll never forget him for his yeoman work in the latter branch. Although one would never sus- pect it, this modest and retiring young man answers to the frivo- lous cognomen of “Willie.” How- ever, this familiarity seems re- served for his most intimate friends. To the majority of us, Paul is Paul, and we resent such defamations as “Willie.” Paul has hinted that he intends to follow chemistry as his life’s work. May your test tubes yield unknown elements, bringing you fame and success.

T ESCRIBING Dave’s personality by alliteration is easy. Dy- namic, devoted and daring immedi- ately come to mind. There is noth- ing lukewarm about Dave. Whether he is expounding learnedly in a philosophical discussion or wield- ing a wicked lacrosse stick ; whether he is Hading the best in English and History or contemplat- ing a strategic chess move his enthusiasm, never lessens and he gives without stint the best in him to the work at hand. “Devotion to the cause,” might well be his family motto, as loyalty is one of his out- standing characteristics. A gentleman and a fair fighter, he is fearless in stating his mind and tenacious in his convictions. We are bound to see a good scrap in our Court Rooms after Dave has received his LL.B. degree. Good luck, Dave, we’re with you. •c!l 26

' T HERE are some people whose - ■ ability is never fully realized and appreciated because what they have accomplished has been done with such apparent ease and lack of display that an outsider con- siders it nothing apart from ,he natural course of their lives. Such a person is Ben — consistently good on the gridiron and in the class room. He is one of the finest football players Loyola has ever had on the team and yet we have often won- dered at the same matter of fact way in which he accepts either a bad break or a spectacular touch down. In the classroom, too, he keeps the same, even, happy dispo- sition, and also a high average in his studies. Perhaps Ben’s indif- ference to achievement has been, after all, our good fortune for he is now a real friend. T)HIL has been to us the living paradox. Over six feet of real man, feared in a boxing ring, he is the delight of small children who like to view the world from high places, and the courteous gentleman who shows older folks that there is still good in this younger generation. While carry- ing the title of “Mr. Flannery who never has an anxious moment’’ re- sults prove that his studies have not been neglected and that he is equal to any emergency. Phil was twice Captain of the Lacrosse team that functioned so well with the Freshmen and Soph- omores of 1930 and 1931. Through- out his activities Phil has retained that enviable insouciance so char- acteristic of the personality that has attracted to him not one or two groups, but everyone who has met him. Happy days, Phil! ■4 28 Ir-
