REVEREND FRANCIS L, ARCHDEACON, S.J. REVEREND JAMES G, DALY, S.J. FR. ARCHDEACON, S.J. 1923-1924, 1925-1935 A name very closely associated with Regis and en- shrined in the hearts of her alumni is that of Father Archdeacon. Having been among Regis' first teachers, Father also served two terms as Perfect of Studies. The long duration of his prefecture combined with his loving interest and indefatigable labor enabled him to raise the scholastic standing of Regis to heights never before attained. To Father Archdeacon, whose extraordinary influence on behalf of Catholic culture is now enjoyed by the New England province, every Regian raises his voice in hearty thanks. FR. JAMES G. DALY, S.J. i924-i925 On the first Friday of February, l938, after eleven years of fruitful labor, Father James G. Daly, S.J., the gracious, gentle and beloved Superior of the Jesuit mis- sionaries in Occidental Misamis, Mindano, Philippine islands, ended a glorious career as a missionary of outstanding holiness and zeal. We were grieved at this sad news but in another sense felt honored that Fr. Daly had been Prefect of Studies at Regis. His conduct of Regis during his short term of office was marked by a practical interest and spiritual zeal in keeping with his great work of Christanity. The present Regions may well draw inspiration from this model of charity for God and fellow man. Twenty-four

From the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, he is all mirth. The court jester ot Senior A has joked his way into enviable popularity, as his posi- tion of Vice-President of the Senior Class proves. Jean's familiar smile is known to all his fellow students. But he can be serious sometimes, when the occasion requires it and never more so than when he churns his way through a fast one hundred yard back- stroke. This combination of good-humour and sincerity will carry him tar towards his success.

We elected him to our highest office, President of the Senior Class, not because of his high scholastic standing, or his excellent playing on the bas- ketball team, but because of his unteigned modesty, the dominant note ot his personality.
