Page 1 1 Pep, vigor, action and dynamic intensity. Spice well with a wonderful humor, absorbing enthusiasm and a heady zest for good, clean fun and Catholic Action and you have a personage who, suspiciously enough, resembles our dear pal Father Marx. We must admit that he puts us to shame with his own youthful vim and vigor. Perhaps in remembrance here, we should use stiff, grateful words, but it is quite out of keepf ing with the man himself, so we will drop them. We're going to miss those jokes, those long, ribftickling stories that only he could build up to a masterpiece of suspense with surpassing skill. They say we are quite young, and that the best parts of our lives lie ahead of us, but Father Marx has made these high school years so full and rich with longflived, happy experiences that we won't ever be quite able to forget them or him. A lively spirit of comradeship and camaraderie is what he leaves us and it is .1 great, endearing gift. We cannot wish him anything better than a life full of happiness in serving God. Perhaps his Grail has been sought for and won. If not, let us say, in the words of Tennyson about Sir Galahad, O just and faithful knight of God, ride on! The prize is near. Whenever we think of our dances, basketball games and social events vxe must invariably think of him, for he was so much a part of them. We can truthfully say of Father Marx, that he put the Pep into Pep Meetings. Some writers say that they love to capture the man and picture him as he is. We'd like to have one of them tell how vigorous, how full of dash and cheer our good friend was. We, who came to know him well, marked how the black eyes danced as did the spirit within. And yet there was so much earnestness in his desire that through fun and companionship, we come closer to God and His Blessed Mother. Wherever we go, whatever we do in whatever land we find our' selves, we will remember those happy, wonderful days and the man who made them so-!Father Marx! REV. BENEDICT MARX. Athletic Director K
