A graduate of Nlargaree Forks lligh, Pat journeyed up from Nlargaree, across the Strait and ended up in Antigonish. where he finally dragged his weary feet to the University on the hill. During the year of 1947-48 Pat was out of school. but returned in the fall of'48 and got back into the groove in no time. Aside from being a great supporter ofall college activities, Pat has shown his ability in the interclass basket ball sphere and can be seen during the spring training camp held by the Nlocklerites going through strenuous workouts as a pitcher and a tielder. Those in personal contact with him know Pat to be as quiet as he is big and good-looking. ln the academic field, Pat will walk out ofthe llalls of X with a B. A., and plans post-graduate work. We wish him ranks. We wish you all the luck in the world, Doug, and the patience of Iobl success in all future endeavours. BERNARD ALASDAIR GRAHAM Glace Bay, N. S. Entering St. F. 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
