TJke Senior CladS SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS. First row: Malloy, Arthur. Second row: Shea, Connor. It seems like an omen of the good things to come that this year Loyola ivill graduate the largest class in its history. — 1922 Yearbook- It would be expected that the largest class to graduate in the history of Loyola College should also be the most complex in the college’s history, especially when the class graduates so soon after the war. Even among the sixteen graduates of the Class of 1922, there were one or two men whose education had been interrupted by the war. We seriously doubt, however, that any other class can match us in our prized complexity. Among the graduates of 1947, there are men who entered college as early as 1935 and 1936; there are also men who entered as late as October of 1944. The scale of ages within the class runs from thirty years to scarcely nineteen. We have our scattering of fathers throughout the class yet the father of the oldest child (four years) is himself not much older than the majority of the class. During the war, two men attained the rank of Major in the Army and one, the rank of Lieutenant Commander in the Navy. We have our share of Distinguished Flying Crosses, Air Medals and Purple Hearts. In the class there is a survivor of the U.S.S. Franklin and a former prisoner of war in Germany. But at least two men were too young to be eligible for induction into the Armed Forces until they were well into their senior year. Our plans for work after graduation also vary widely. We have more than the usual percentage of post-graduate students. One man is now a suc- cessful contractor who is already building small homes. And those two men will still be eligible for immediate induction into the Armed Forces if the Selective Service Bill is ever reactivated. Despite these wide divergences, the Class of 1947 is as much an unified whole as any other class before or after it. The spirit that binds us together is not merely the fact of common gradua- tion. During the past year, through the trials of ethics, the intricacies of the Aristotelico-Scho- lastic theories and the problems of theology, we have come to know each other so well that the harriers of age and different backgrounds have disappeared. We have also the realization to bind us together that we will be the class to preside over the next twenty- five years of Loyola at Evergreen. May we help to make this second era as fruitful as the first ! 28
