Outside interests of Verne's include intermural softball and interclass track. He did much ofthe interclass track coaching during his Sophomore year and the results of his work can be readilv seen this year in some ot our track athletes. A uiet and unassuming fellow, Verne is very ambitious and believes in 'live anld let live.' He has plans concerning Aled. School and we hope to see him hanging up the shingle in the not too-distant future. The best wishes of his classmates are with him as he leaves St. F. X. tor further study. STANLEY IOSEPH FARRELL Montreal Quebec D'Arcy McGee has produced many great students who have come to St' F. X. and Stan Farrell is one of their greatest products as far as we are concerned. He arrived from that revered High School in l947, entering HX' as a Sophomore. Stan, a veteran of Macpherson House, has found time to come out from the blaze of hydrogen sulphide of the Chemistry lab, is an active member of Exokoi and is interested in photography to the extent that he is a regular member of the Camera Club. Besides this, he enlisted in the U. N. T. D. and has been with that organization for three years. Usually Stan can be found in the Chem lab and intends to do post-graduate work in this field. Hope you don't blow up Stan-we mean your experi- ments don't blow up! 54
