H ERE’S Jimmy” — the biggest man in Senior year. He’s so good natured, it’s annoying. Never in four years has he lost his smile. If geniality and agree- ability are heralds of success, Jimmy need have nothing to worry about. Nor will his worries come from a social field, for ’tis whispered that he is on the verge of the one and only step about which a man should think twice. Scholastically he’ll have no worries; in fact we doubt if Jim has the faculty of worrying. At least he’s never manifested it in our four years of acquaintance. If Varsity football hadn’t gone hay-wire this last year, we might have seen Jim do a bit of varsity cavorting for ye ol’ Green and Gray. As it is, we content our- selves with a vivid memory of undeniably good form displayed prominently between the halves for three years. But we did see Jim in one dramatic athletic triumph; he did appear and as suddenly disappear as the heavy-weight boxer of the college. So brief was that appearance that it is with difficulty we convince ourselves that it was not all an illusion. We have viewed Jim with wonder; we wonder where he’ll go and what he’ll do. But wherever it is or whatever it be — we know that success will go with him as it has since first we met him. His cares are now all ended.” twenty-eight

GREEN 3C GRAY 1 9 3 5 CLINTON PRICE COLVIN 2206 Mt. Holly Street Baltimore, Maryland Matriculated 1932 B.S, Born 1908 Price Mendel 2, 3, 4; (Sergeant at Arms 2) ; Euclid Club 2; Varsity Basketball 2, 3, 4; (Captain 4) ; Tennis 2, 3, 4; (Captain 4.) P RICE COLVIN is known as the Grand Old Man of Loyola. By this strange cognomen we do not wish to convey the impression that he is in any way decrepit. On the contrary, many a Loyola foe will testify that on the basketball floor and tennis courts he is a very nimble fellow. And Price himself, although admitting to be more than somewhat past voting age, strenuously denies the approach of senility. An- other patent denial of Father Time’s grip on Colvin is the grace and agility with which he cavorts daily around the college billiard tables. Athletic prowess is not Price’s only endowment. His unfailing good humor en- ables him to give and take much strenuous kidding, and enables him, also, to bear up bravely under the trials of Ethics tests. We are all agreed that, since the day in our Sophomore year when Price first appeared at Loyola, the class of ’35 made a great profit by his decision to join us. And don’t let’s forget that Colvin was the captain of the classy Greyhound bas- ketball team of this year. was wont to speak plain and to the purpose:’ twenty-seven

GRAY 5 GREEN 8C 1 9 3 FRANCIS CUMMINGS 15 W. Mulberry Street Baltimore, Maryland Matriculated 1931 A.B. Born 1914 ” Sliver” Social Science Club 4; Latin Circle 1; C hemistry Club 2; Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Varsity Tennis 2, 3, 4; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3 ; Junior Varsity Basketball 1, 2. T he tallest, yes, and if good humor and friendliness are measured by height, would that we were all six feet four — (or is it five, Frank?). Ever and anon have we heard the opinion expressed that the generously proportioned are pos- sessors of jovial temperaments. But in this case we claim that our Mr. Cummings is the exception that proves the rule. For girth is not one of this gentleman’s salient possessions. In fact the exact opposite is true, and to such an extent that some one of the more clever members of the class, away back in Freshman, was inspired to refer to him as Sliver” — a nickname which he has had to bear for four long years. Tennis and swimming are Frank’s outstanding athletic accomplishments, although he has had no opportunity of proving his mettle in the latter line of endeavor at Evergreen. A good fellow and a fine student, Frank is the sort of fellow one takes pleasure in knowing, not only because of his friendliness, but because of that certain quality in his temperament which seems to bespeak a calm and stable outlook on the ramifica- tions of this old world of ours. Such a disposition augurs success. ”That spirit of his in aspiration lifts him from the earth” twenty-nine
