PAUL XORMILE Bloomington, Illinois Mission President. '25-'26: Class Secretary and Treasurer. '26-'27; Oratorical, '26; President Pltilalcthic. ’25-’26; Football. '22-’25-'26. Captain '26; S. M. Club. ‘22-27; 11. S. Tournament Director, '26-'27; Hour Glass; Dial. ’25-'27. ME TYPE ()F MAX that Paul Xormile is. and the high esteem in which he is held by the students, was displayed in 1025 when the Varsity football men elected him to the captaincy of the 1926 football team. That he merited this honor has been decisively proven for was it not Paul who led the team of 1926 in victory: and was it not the same Paul who. in the face of defeat, pleaded and implored for just one more ounce of fight from his fellow teammates? Taking his loyal and unselfish spirit and his qualities of leadership into consideration, we promise that the name of Xormile will never be forgotten by the boys of St. Mary’s. Paul has been a leader in athletic circles but his name has also been seen on the Honor Roll for scholastic endeavors. The success of the State High School Tournament was largely due to his efforts as a director. During his presidency the Mission Society enjoyed a most successful year. As circulation manager of the Dial and the Hour Glass he proved to be an ardent worker for these student publications. In short, he engaged in and took a vital interest in every student activity. We wish to extend to Paul best wishes for success in whatever ventures he undertakes. And it is with true appreciation of him that we thank Bloomington for the loyal son she has given the school. We shall remember him always as a true and loyal friend. Poge Forty-seven

TIMOTHY MURPHY “Steer Denison, Texas Sodality; Acolythical; Mission Society Officer, ‘26; Hour Blass; Dial; Dial Annual; Football Squad. ‘25. Varsity, ’26; League Football, ’23. All-Star. '24; Basketball Manager. ‘27; S. M. Club; Class Basketball Team; K. of C.; Tournament Committee. '26-27: Sen-Juns; Pbilaletbic; Baseball Class Team. () HAVE SPENT seven years at St. Mary’s. t have attained scholastic honors during his years at this school, and to have become the possessor of two coveted S. M. letters, one in football and the other as a manager in basketball, is the happy feat of Tim Murphy. Back in 1920, Tim made his initial appearance at St. Mary’s. He came from the Lone Star State. His complete entrance into the spirit of the school gave assurance that St. Mary’s would bestow a high school diploma upon him. and four years later a bachelor degree. Perhaps one word would describe the character of Tim, “stick-to-it-iveness.” His determination to gain the end at which he aims has been displayed throughout his career. His scholastic honors came as a reward of earnest and persevering endeavor. His athletic honors have been his principally because of this same quality. Nothing has been left uncompleted that he has started. Studies, publications. athletics, have all been seriously undertaken. He has always been held in high esteem by his fellow classmen, by his professors, and by the student body and faculty as a whole. At the close of this seven-year period of faithful devotion to duty, lie surely deserves the best wishes from his more recent classmates for success in the years to come.

But whether we have or not wc must concede ') U that it is true in the case of “Rosie.” Ever since “Rosie” came to St. Mary’s three years ago he lias worked hard and honestly. 11 is will to work has characterized him every day with the result that this year he merited a place of honor among the best students in the school. “Rosie’s” aspirations to greatness are not confined to the classroom, however. I le has shown his ability l oth in the field of athletics and in the social world. And though his activities in the latter field have been more or less limited to a few visits to the nearby borough, his popularity as a social light has been widely acclaimed there. In all the major sports “Rosie” is both a participant and an authority. If there is any score of any game national or local you wish to know, just ask him about it. Or if you wish to know the outcome of any game or tournament to be played in the future Rathe’’ Shay is the man to call on. lie is called “Rathe” because he sees all, knows all. But to return to what we said in the beginning. “Rosie” is a hard and determined worker. For this reason wc have no fear concerning his future success. In passing we have only one regret and that is that we must lose the close companionship of so true a friend. Page 'orly-eight
