Those of us who know “Jimmy” or “Owl” f Hewis can easily trace the cause of this condition in his own home town, for during those years Jim has been a resident of St. Mary's. Jimmy possesses a very pleasant and jovial personality. He is one of the class leaders. 1 lis favorite subject is philosophy. 11 is conscientious application to study and his jolly spirit of good fellowship have made him one of the most popular members of the class. In dramatic work he has displayed a real talent, both in presentations by the College Dramatic Clubs and in acting as a producer himself. As business manager of the Dial Annual, as a director of the State Catholic Tournament, as manager of the bastball team of this year, and in other managerial capacities he has shown all the characteristics of a successful business man. We are certain that the home town with eager longing anticipates the completion of Jim’s education for then her favorite son will take the business in hand of putting Wichita back on the map. Jim has not disclosed to us his secret ambitions, but we will hazard a guess that his managerial ability will first be given a trial in the motion picture industry. Who knows? Whatever he takes up after graduation, we are confident that he will make a success of it and of life. Page Forty-three

CM HAILS from Kansas City, and is, as his name signifies, one of the “Fighting Irish.” However, his Irish spirit lias been utilized in activities k ggS other than sports. As a Freshman Tom was an outstanding participant in all literary endeavors. From that time till the present he has taken a prominent part in all forensic and elocution contests. He is an orator of no little merit. So beware! Take our advice and do not attempt to get the better of him in an argument. He has been a member of the debating team for several years, and has gained honor for himself and for the school in intercollegiate debates. Probably the most noteworthy feature of Tom’s activities is the fact that he finished his college course in three years. Anyone who is capable of doing this is deserving of a great deal of praise and admiration. But the man who does this and gets class honors each semester and is in addition active in literary work not connected with the prescribed course, deserves special commendation. Tom’s career should be a brilliant one. We are not certain what profession lie intends to follow, but. judging from his literary and oratorical ability, so aptly and so frequently displayed while at St. Mary’s, we would predict a very successful future for him as a lawyer or as a figure in politics. ‘tin?

Wk (This is daily manifested in the city courts where every witness will give a different account of an automobile accident.) Thus it is with Charlie Marchesseault. Everyone who knows him gets a different impression of him and no one seems to get him right. Charlie is the hoy with curly red hair who hails from Junction City. Polo is his hobby, but being studious is his profession. Charlie makes it a point to see all and know all. 11 is adventures and experiences have been manifold and he tells his best stories well. Charlie is happiest when riding his horse. Many a sunshiny day he may he seen cantering down the road on a spirited steed. His expression while riding is his usual one of quiescent boredom but you can lay a five-to-one bet he isn’t thinking about his horse or the surrounding territory. More than likely he is instead unknotting some difficult problem in philosophy. For Charlie is a philosopher “de luxe.” As a Junior he led the class and as a Senior he is recognized as the student authority on any philosophical twister. His ability to expound is probably due to the experience he gained in teaching school two years before entering college. Marchesseault is the type that does a thing and tells you about it afterwards. So we don’t know what he intends to make of himself. Whatever it is we arc sure it won’t be anything ordinary for Charlie’s most characteristic trait, next to being bored, is being different.
