FOREWORD Depression, prosperity, and war — each has been a part of our environment during a brief college life. World unrest and wartime employment have drawn many of our earlier classmates away from the classroom and campus. Even we, who have completed the task we tackled, faced periodical weeks of bewilderment. Our long study hours have been challenged by the enticement of the world beyond the campus. We have resisted the challenge and helci fast to the paths ot liberal education, though hindered by wartime regulations and accelerated courses. Now, as graudates, we are leaving Loyola College. We are ready to cake our posts in the cask of unraveling the chaotic knots into which the world has been tied. After the present struggle has been won and man’s natural free- doms have been restored in the world, a peaceful calm will follow. Then in the new era of history — in the aftermath of reconstruction — Evergreen ’43 will enkindle memory-sparks of our college days at Loyola.

CAPT. ARTHUR A. NORTH, S.J., US A. Somewhere in the South Pacific there is a priest clad in the uniform of a United States Army chaplain. Day after day, beneath an umbrella of flying shrapnel and the deafening clacking of machine gun fire, he performs his priestly duties for the fighting service men. “The mosquitoes are very bad,” is his only complaint. This is Father Arthur A. North, S.J. For three years Father was at Loyola College. During that time, he could be best described as, “Catholic Action personified.’’ He possessed the unique ability of knowing how to live on twenty ' four hours a day. Father’s hustling leadership and ceaseless efforts in the Sodality, in the classroom, and on the campus, established fraternity and cooperative good- fellowship as an integral component of the Loyola man. Although he was a philosopher, professor and philologist, we of the Class of ’43 remember Father North predominantly as a very human student counselor. In the terminology of the present day. Father was a Mr. Fixit, a Dorothy Dix, and an employment bureau all wrapped into one. His ever-open office was a perpetual wailing wall for “student opinions.’’ In dedicating Evergreen 1943 to Father North, we of the Senior Class attempt to acknowledge the numerous kindnesses and favors we have received; and to thank him for the model he has given us of active Catholicism — in the classroom, in the office, in the war.
