S. B. Credit Union. She received her Literary X after acting as Al. S. B. Editor during '49-and in '50 became an Associate Editor. Nl. T. came to St. F. X. in the fall of '46 to obtain her B.

Bill hails from Boston, the Hub of the Universe, and came to X in the fall of 1946 after having served in the olive drab of' Uncle Sain's army. Xvhile at X he served on the Board ol' Executives ofthe Credit Union and his success 5 at this position was due to that willingness to work, which Bill possesses. Although, not an active participant in sports. he is a faithful supporter of all St. lr. X. learns. Bill's favourite extra-curricular activity was taking part in 'bull sessions' concernin f the political question ofthe day, especially tlioggg pcrtaining to his native U. A. As forthe future, we feel sure that Bill, with his sincerity of purpose, and zeal for work, will attain whatever goal he may strive for. EDWARD WILLIAM JOSEPH COADY Little Bras D'0r, N. S.

Ioe plans further study next year heading to a Bachelor of Commerce degree. During his four years at X Ioe has played interclass hockey and tennis and intra-mural basket- ball. He was usually seen with the boys from Duf:fy's Tavern. Yve feel sure that loe will be succewful in whatever he undertakes in the future, living up to the motto of the Xaverian family Quaecumquae sunt vera. IOHN GREGORY CURRIE Glace Bay, N. S. A graduate of St. Anne's lligh in 1946, Greg came to St, F. X. in the fall of the same year. Greg, slightly on the whippish side, has spent most of his four years at College in a lah of some sort. A member of lfxokoi, he has also been an instructor in both Physics and Chemistry labs. Greg is one of those quiet types, but certainly has not spent all of his time in academic pursuits. He can be seen at all the College dances, and takes an active part in house sports, hockey, tennis and baseball being singled out for special attention. l'le rad- uates this year with a B. Sc., and, armed with this, he plans further stujv at Nova Scotia Tech. A man ofauthority on practically any subject whatsoever, Greg could always be counted upon to add his 'two Bits' to carry on the argu- ment. A hard worker, we are confident that he'll succeed in whatever future career lies in store for him. 5?
