X. as a Sophomore from St. Anneis High in Glace Bay, Al immediately established himself as an active member of University life. He has held positions in various societies and, now. in his Senior year, has tackled the toughest of all Campus positions, that of Editor-in-Chief ofthe Xaverian. That he has filled this position well will be granted by all who agree that the Xaverian output this year has been one of the best. During his Iunior year. Al also was linked up with the Xaverian as Sports Editor. ln hockey season of'48-'49 Al was a regular member in the Varsity squad line-up. He is the pos- sessor of both a Literary and Athletic X. Hence, in Al, we have a rare com- bination of literary and athletic successes. Since his interests are centered around English as a major subject, but with journalism more than a past-time we predict that AI will end up in the newspaper business. 34
