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

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

They call his native birthplace Brookville and we guess that such a place exists, although the only proof we have of the fact is the word of “Diz” himself. “Diz” was the manager of the football team of 1926 and by the unanimous consent of the players we arrive at the conclusion that Adrian was one of the best that ever accompanied the team on the road. Always solicitous for their wellbeing and comfort the fellows say he was never to be found without a few packages of chewing (gum of course) in his pocket. “Diz” held a position on the Varsity Basketball squad of 1926 and 192 • and did some neat work to aid in placing these two seasons among the most successful we have ever had. Adrian’s abilities in athletics are not his only claim to fame, however. His name is always among the leaders on Assembly day. “Diz” has trained himself well, and judging from his aptitude for public speaking we have in imagination assigned him the position of criminal lawyer in Brookville. We know that the crime wave there will be a negligible entity when “Diz” runs the town. When the sheepskins arc given in June we will miss an old face about the campus, one that, be it remembered, has been in evidence in every student activity for the past eight years. It is with real sorrow that St. Mary’s witnesses the departure of a favorite son. Fa go Forty-nine
