The Rev. Anthony C. O ' Flynn, S.J., emphasizes an important point in his sermon at Mass. Before the annual Mass of the Holy Spirit begin- ning the school year, the university chaplain admin- isters the Code of Honor to the assembled freshmen. The Code sets standards regulating fair play, loyal- ty, respect for authority, and personal action. These are the qualities Loyola wishes to instill into her students. To accomplish this end, she offers many opportunities, and it is symbolic that she begin each year with Mass in Holy Name of Jesus church. Early fall is also the time for the Key and Seal ceremony sponsored by Cardinal Key honorary so- rority. Each senior receives a key symbolizing suc- cess in the future and each freshman a token seal of the university. The numerous sodalities on campus, formerly one for each school, are now effectively incorporated into three: the St. Thomas Aquinas of the colleges of business administration and arts and sciences, St. Cecilia sodality of the college of music, and St. John Berchman sodality of the college of pharmacy. The university chaplain is the Rev. E. Paul Heck- er, S.J. The beauty of Holy Name church ' s gothic architecture is one of the things on campus in which Loyolans tal e pride.

Campus Life Not until one has walked down a university path in the twilight of a Friday evening and listened to the silence of a deserted campus does he feel the es- sence of which campus life consists. He knows then how his university years will ex- ist in his future memory: unlike a yearbook sec- tioned off neatly, it will be a thousand sights and sounds, a million faces and sensations and thoughts and noises. It will be a veritable kaleidoscope of color and emotion covering four years, in which he was at least as many people in the ever-changing currents of his youthful self. Recollected in the calmer waters of a mature mind, the memories of the college years will be as priceless as they are unreal. It will take turning of many pages of the university yearbook to bring the lovely pictures into focus. Oh yes, there ' s John,- but doesn ' t he look young? . . . Ah, but the cam- pus was so bare then . . . Who could have thought that I could be as timid as that with so mild an old man as that professor? . . . What struggles I had with such simple truths! . . . And the volume closes, the pictures fade, and the kaleidoscope fold softly about us once more. But for a moment the past existed again as surely as the present. For those who work on a yearbook like the Wolf, the joy of creation such as this is an honor which makes the task infinitely worthwhile. Regina Bolanos, BA [unlor, gasps over her exam. 22
