CTNEIL, DANIEL JQSEPH. Great zs the reward 0f z4CIZiC?'Z,'677Z67Zf.U Born in Toronto, Dan is a graduate of St. Paulfs Separate School and then imbibed higher training at St. Marys College, Pa. In 1910, just as Halley's Comet appeared in the horizon, Dan made his debut among the constellation of Onety-Fives intellectual stars and began his Arts course proper in 1911. Dan has a weakness for handball and debating, his record in the lnter-Ca- tholic Debating Union and in the inter-class frays proving his worth as an orator. His Quiet dignity and genial manner have Won for him a host of friends throughout his University course, who will follow with interest his future career. Dan is an ey- tensive reader and the libraries will miss him. PQCOCK, IQHN HERMAN. Olz! ffs nice fo get up in the 'HZOI'IlZ.llQ. but its nicer to lie in your bt'd. ' St. Thomas has the enviable distinction of being the birthplace of the above para- gon. llihile yet unborn to fame, he migrated to London and attended the collegiate of that town, but longing to thread the mazes of philosophic lore, Herman entered Class Onety-nve at St. Michaels in 191 I. Premier of the Students' Parliament. Prefect of the Sodality of the Blessed Yir- gin, St. Michaels representative on the Torontonensis and Assistant Manager of the Year Book, what further need has he of praise?

CTCONNQR, THOMAS SOMERS. And still the wonder grew How one small head could carry all . he kizetvf' Qur history of Somers dates only from the period of his entrance into Junior Mat- riculation Class of IQ1 I. Since then it has never been our pleasure to see him experi- encing the painful delights of cramming at the end of the year, for by consistent ap- plication he has always found himself prepared for the worst, He specializes in Carterian Philosophy, French, tlanguage and chocolatej, Liberal Politics and story- telling. Somers takes a peculiar delight in witnessing surgical operations and even of taking part when the patient has despaired of recovery. XVe attribute much of Mr. OlConnor's success to his morning cold baths. - OTEARY, ISHN. Night after higlzz' he sat and blearcd his eyes rcfifh Z200h5. ' Iackls troubles began in Peterborough in the early nineties. After receiving a thor- ough primary education, he betook himself to Norwood High School. Then, lured on by her ever-spreading fame, he came to St. lX'lichael's, matriculated and entered Arts with Class 215. His record is indeed enviable. Vlfith un- tiring energy he has applied himself to sports, studies and other College activities, being Speaker of our Parliament and a member of other executives. The friends won by his self-sacrificing characteristics and geniality are legion, and while sympa- thizing with St. Michael's in the loss of one of the brightest of her starry cluster, they are united in wishing him a happy and suc- cessful future. l26l

Jim retains few reminiscences of Pickering, Ont., his birth-place. St. Helen's School and SMC., Toronto, can behold with pride the fruits of their labours in educating him. And he is a meteor light in the constellation of illuminaries that com- pose Onety-five, His cheerfulness is a by- word on the Irish Flat. At St. Michaels his career is marked by three outstanding fea- tures, a close study of philosophical prob- lems, a courageous defence of the prestige of his Alma Mater in the I.C.D.U., and un- tiring endeavors as manager of the Junior O.H.A. boys in 1915. And the hearts of all his class-mates go with him in his future enterprises. RYAN, JOHN. 'Suaz'iz'c'r in modo, forfitef' in raft 'iJohnnie's first plaintive cries were heard in Wfellsville, N.Y. But his lucky star lured him northward to St. Michaels and Class 315, where everything points to an enviable career. Classroom and campus set forth in vivid form his sterling quali- tiesg having figured on three football cham- pionships, picked as best outside wing in Canada, and plays handball, baseball and hockey equally as well. His kind and un- assuming manner has won the esteem of professor and student alike and their best wishes go with him. His departure is both a loss and a gain to St. Michael'sg a loss of one of her best students, and a gain of more honour and glory by his unquestion- able future. l28l 05 . . A .
