I ' HEARD it said of “Len” that he left home some four years ago a delightful unspoiled youth to go to St. Mary’s. After his first year in College he returned home a fully developed young man and a perfect gentleman. This is all perfectly true though St. Mary’s cannot claim the credit for making him a gentleman. Not that that gift lies beyond her power, but rather because there was no need to confer it. “Len” is a gentleman by nature, a gentleman of the first rank. In school life “Len” has always been most active both in and outside of the classroom. As a student he stands among the highest. As an essayist and a college journalist he ranks with the best. During his Junior year he served as editor of the I lour Glass and established for our college paper at that time a most enviable reputation. On the tennis courts we find “Len” at home. For three years he has been a member of the tennis squad. During the last two years he has served as captain of the team, in which capacity he has proved his ability as a leader and has always shown a fine quality of sportsmanship. “Len” surely deserves to be called a good sport and a true comrade. At parting it is our sincerest hope that good fortune may attend his every undertaking in life. Page Thirty-seven

JOSEPH MAURICE HOWARD Columbus, Ohio “Jake Sodality, '20-'27: Acolythical. ’20- 27; Mission Society. Vicc-Pres.; C lass President. ’26-'27; Philalethic, 27; Hour (ilass, ’2.?-’27; Dial Quarterly Editor. '27; Football. ’25-’26; S M Club. ’26- '27. AKK HOWARD and Cal Coolidgc are brothers in spirit. Both say little and think much. Everyone always wonders what Jake’s secret ambition is. ()ne day someone asked him. 11c answered tersely, “To get married.” His answer staggered the hearers. They couldn't believe it. Howard the misogynist, the lone wolf, the silent, the thoughtful, the dignified, the quiet—saying a think like that! But Jake never lies. So if he is looking for bis dream girl we’re going to help him out. Girls, here arc bis weak points. Possessing more common sense than the average man. which the class as a whole had the good sense to realize, he was elected class president for two successive years. Jake is good at both study and play. In bis studies he leads the class, excelling in Latin. In athletics lie won a place on the Kansas All-State football team for two years. He also knows baseball and knocks a mean two bagger. His strategy at quarterback on the varsity football team won a game or two for St. Mary's and his brainy running of the team won for him the admiration of both the coaches and spectators. But lake finds time for more than studies and play. He has been president of about every student organization on the campus. To enumerate these would bore the reader and make Jake foam at the mouth. He has always been unassuming and he doesn't know what conceit means. This is one reason why Jake has always been the most popular man on the campus. Next year Jakes takes up constitutional law. Best of luck, Jake. We hope that you will be president some day, too. Page Thirty-six

They were listening first to the old German band and then to messages of farewell to a much beloved departing citizen. The train pulled in and the honored citizen stepped aboard amid the cheers of the populace. The whistle shrieked and the giant locomotive pulled out. As the train got further and further down the track four hundred hearts, mostly those of young women. tis true, were breaking. For wasn’t Frank Bushev, the pride of Wheaton, going away to college? When “Bush” arrived at St. Mary’s it was a different story. There was no band, no cheering people. Only Brother Dooling who slowly inquired about his trunk, lie settled down, lie studied, and studied, and studied. Came his Sophomore year. He went out for basketball and became the star of the team. Students began to wonder. Sport writers began to take note. “Who is this Bushev ?” 1 lis Junior year came. I Ie excelled in basketball, baseball and in his scholastic work. 11 is wit became famous. The school’s most familiar expression was “Did you hear the one ‘Bush’ pulled yesterday?” His Senior year was Bushev’s big year. His worth was recognized. He received the unanimous vote of the Conference coaches as captain of the All-State team. School is out and Bushey returns to Wheaton.
