Father Burke, pursuing one of his favorite hobbies . . . notewriting. whose knowledge of mathematics is matched only by his ability to speak the English language (with some ethnic variations.) Mr. Strauch, a veritable newcomer from Notre Dame, and the only teacher to marry one of his students, spends his time some- where between Mt. St. Agnes and Loyola. Mr. Higgenbotham, a perennial Yankee rooter, will long be known for his wash-and-wear clothes, and the informal atmosphere of his classes. The commuter train between R.I.A.S. and Loy- ola College received much use this year. Dr. Gum- nick, head of the Physics department, spent time advising on the construction of the new Taj Mahal, research at R.I.A.S., and reading us Physics. Dr. Peiffer, a little known lecturer from R.I.A.S., is a man who gives reams of notes and expects the best from his students. Mr. Heisey, who taught the Pre- Meds calculus — much to their chagrin — is a rocket specialist who built the plasma jet . . . it’ll never get off the ground. Mr. DiBagio, of Italian — Norwegian descent, skied from class to class, carrying pictures of his son. The three senior engineers were sometimes confused to find their lectures being given either in Norwegian, or given by themselves. Mr. Wolsey part time lecturer from Westinghouse, rushed to his eight o’clock class every morning, only to find that his three students had slipped out the back door, or were thinking of new ways to make him split his pants. Due to the plethora of “dismal days,’’ Dr. Negh- erbon condescended to limit his tests to one per semester. Though it is a long way to Harford Father Houber, head of the Chemistry department, is a summertime commuter between Baltimore and Ocean City.

Dr. Gumnick, Mr. DiBaggio, and Dr. Weigman dis- cuss final physics grades . . . and conditions at R.I.A.S. Mr. Heisey, Mr. Kammel, and Mr. Strauch put their heads together to discuss a new math curriculum. of Dr. Varga’s cla.ss, we look back on the past in anger, on the present with relief and to the future with an awareness of onr firm foniulation in Poli- i tical Science. Though he sides with tlie Sheriff of Nottingham (he must have taken Fr. Higgins’ fj course) he was kind enough to stop looking for a i ' j certain term-paper. (Eh, Norris?) (j Dr. Boyle, the oidy remaining woman teacher iri on campus, was kept busy weighing the efforts of f; ' her students (in her mind), while testifying before IL a Senate committee on “Equal Wages.’’ Mr. Sweit- I;) zer, part of a father-and-son team here at Loyola, in must not be too bright. He’s still here, hut his son p has graduated. The reams of mimeographed notes jj in Mr. Carton’s briefcase were invaluable to his students. Fine Arts took on a new mecining in the || way he taught it. Mr. Powers, a successfid lawyer ■ in his own right, did much to inspire Loyola Stu- j- dents to a similar career. Fr. Convey teaches ac- | counting and juggles . . . er . . . balances the hooks for the Campus Shop. j Dr. Weigman, one of “the inseparable pair’’ in || the Physics department, is also the acting head of j the Math Department. This is indeed a tribute to i his versatility. As to his punctuality . . . well, some I recent graduates are still waiting for the results of tests. His Monday afternoon classes at a certain j! local establishment were indeed a welcome relief. j Mr. Bradley, the cowboy-turned-theoretician, or vice versa, is the only man who drives a Plymouth ,1 with a saddle on it. Both the cigar he smokes and li the chalk he uses are “’bout as big as your trigger ' finger.” Our friend from Brooklyn, Mr. Kammel - (or whatever kind of an accent that is) is a man

Mr. Hoegberg, Fr. Lavin, Dr. Hands and Mr. Voci can ' t agree on an interpretation of Donne ' s allusion. County, he always would take time after class to spend a few hours with his students. Fr. Burke, who claims that “cigarettes are definitely linked with lung cancer,” spends most of his time chas- ing mice about his research room in the Dell Build- ing. Dr. Duffy is a relative newcomer to Loyola, and a real “bug” on insect physiology . . . ooh! Fr. Hauber has two laboratories, one at Loyola, and the other somewhere in Ocean City, and can be found in one or the other according to the sea- son. We learned to “wipe off the reagent bottles,” and, “find our unknowns” (in the easiest way pos- sible.) Dr. Freimuth, state toxicologist and profes- sor of forensic medicine at the U. of M., achieved the distinction of holding the first Saturday 8:00 class at Loyola. His students found it a unique ex- perience. Mr. Thompson gave his “wise-cracker special” on tests, and always knew where every- thing was. From Princeton and Carnegie, respec- tively, come two alumni. Doctors Miller and Zaszak, to fill out and strengthen the Chemistry department. They are both from Highlandtown, and are a welcome addition to Loyola. Mr. Colirnore, between the daily quizzes he gives, is sure he will find the time and funds this year to take the tennis team to Europe for a match. The school’s tape recorder was again confiscated by Mr. Jordan this year for his Spanish classes. When not having a recording session . . . that is during the summer ... he heads for studies in Mexico. Mr. Pritchett, the only professor whose dog speaks three languages, is famous for the Amer-
