t- APPRECIATION It is no more surprising that The Wolf dedicate its 40th anniversary volume to the Rev. Francis Janssen, S.J., than it is that the Earth turn green come spring. Father Janssen, of course, v as our first moderator. But that is not surprising, either. For this remarkable Jesuit, nov assistant director of admissions, has participated In the establishment of almost every major organization on the Loyola campus since his arrival from his na- tive Belgium in 1919. With Moise Thibodeaux, its first editor, he helped found The Wolf in 1924. Among the institutions he helped start are The Maroon, campus news- paper, the Student Council, Beggars social fraternity, the campus intramural program and the first all-university dance. I vk as young, I was interested, I liked the students, and they liked nne, says Father, by way of explana- Mon for his remarkable success. That he was much more than that is the -eason for this dedication: in the deep- est sense, Loyolans are in his debt. looking over some of The Wolf annuals published in the last 40 years, Father Janssen, ' S reflects over the long series of events that have come to be catalogued annually in the yearbook he helped to found in 1924

Its essence is something far less tangible and far more meaningful than its material form. For 40 years The Wolf has had the joyful and immeasurably worthwhile task of cementing between its covers priceless moments which, except in the memory, can never in eternity be lived again. So it is duly recorded that during this term, Hootenannys were in and folk songs echoed from the cafeteria to the classroom. Coeds ' hairdos fell to normal hei ght, skirts ' fickle hems hung to the knee and both ROTC and campus queens looked right in boots. Lord of the Flies was the prestige book to read and foreign art movies, heavy on symbolism, were definitely the type to prefer. But these, like the yearbook ' s covers and the library ' s bricks, were mere superficials. The students were remarkably the same: growing up and finding it hard, they struggled from term paper to quiz to Thespian tryout. They wrote news stories, analyzed chemicals and fought to shake off the remnants of adolescent awkwardness at dances. Most seemed to enjoy every moment of these remarkable years, and lined up for blocks to receive their Wolf and keep the years for- ever, ready to be relived at the turn of a page.

Through the disciplines of study and re- search, they ripen their faith into the maturity necessary for leaders of the laity which many of them will soon become and for peace in life within a peaceless world. Loyolans above their fellowmen are for- tunate beyond measure. Jesuit faculty members attend the Mass of the Holy Spirit which officially opens the academic year
