JJ ERE is ’33 s man of affairs. ■ ■ ■Four times Class President! That expresses rather concisely our opinion of Jack. Truly here is the outstanding Loyola man. Nothing was ever too difficult or arduous for him, if he thought it was for the best interest of the class or the school. One of his most note- worthy accomplishments was the formation of one of the most effi- cient Student Councils ever formed at Loyola. Jack put the project past the embryonic stage. Many happy hours have we whiled away drinking in some of Jack’s sure fire methods for mak- ing huge sums of money. His ram- bling debates with teachers were always things of joy, even when no one knew what he was talking about. Goodby, Jack. Don’t forget Loyola, and ’33, they will never forget you. AKE “Junie” from our midst, and by contrast, our world is one of sadness and gloom. Contin- ued witticisms, subtle humor, were all his own, and they became ours, too. He was to all his friends — and everyone was his friend — what wine is to a banquet, what Beeth- oven is to a recital. The Greyhound was his special extra-curricular interest, the Greyhound office the inevitable scene of his after class hours. The loss of him to the staff is a loss to the school. His pet aversion — engendered by his love of action, his constant restless urge to be “doing” — was chess. But even this his mates of the office forgave him. His associates of tomorrow will find the business of living more cheerful because of him. A happy future — “happy warrior”! -4 29 Ir-

' 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-

' pOM is the sincerest and most earnest member of the Class. Frivolity is not a part of his make- up, but then we wouldn’t want him to be that way. On the Greyhound and the Year Book Staff he was listed as an Associate Editor but every department made demands upon his willingness and ability. When there was work to be done Tom was there to do it. Every academy at Loyola has had the benefit of his co-operation. It is true, beyond doubt, that Tom was one of the most loyal students at Loyola. His presence at every activity was always assured and his cooperation taken for granted. It is an old maxim that if you want something done, give it to a busy man — that’s Tom, the busy and reliable man. No need to wish you success, Tom, your qualities assure you of it. CCIENTIST, gentleman, friend. — Need more be said of Al? That day — in Sophomore — when he decided to favor Loyola was a happy one for us all. Since then his animating personality, his ever- ready smile, his cheerful greetings have been an indispensible part of our daily lives. Scientist — for who but knows his interest in test-tubes, heats of combustion and freezing points. His many hours in the labs give mute testimony of his faith- fulness to his tasks. Gentleman — in line w ith the truest Southern cavalier traditions. Perfection in gentility and ease of manner. Friend — for knowing him meant loving him — always willing to help with anything — a friend of that rarest of types — in deed as well as in name. The best of luck, Al. May success attend all your endeavors. ■4 30
