T 1Rev. 3. JE. Gallon, 65.15. 'I 3511 jlllemuriam VVO years ago, the Year Book recorded the death of Vincent Tallon. It is its sad duty this year to record the passing of his brother, Edward. Both young men were in attendance at the College at the time of their deaths, and both succumbed to the after-effects of appendicitis operations. They were the sons of Mr. and Mrs. E. I. Tallon of Cornwall, and the Year Book staff and students of St. Michael's College wish to take this opportunity of offering to the family their sincere and deep condolence. Edward Tallon entered St. Michael's in 1915. He left school to answer the call of his country in the latter years of the war, but returned to graduate with a BA, degree, 1919. He attended the Qntario College of Education the following year, and spent 1920-1921 on the staff of Assumption College at Sandwich. In 1921 he entered St. Basil's Novitiate, and devoted his energy and talents to the education of youth and to his own preparation for the priesthood, He taught a year at St. Thomas College, Houston, Texas, and returned to Toronto to complete his theological studies. 4 On September 19th, 1925, he was ordained subdeacon, and was living in anticipation of December 19, when he would be raised to the awful dignity of the priesthood. But another call came! On October 16 he departed this life, The memory of Edward Tallon will live long in the Halls of St. lVlichael's. For ten years he had been more or less intimately connected with the life of the College, and in that time, had won for himself the love and admiration of all who knew him. The profound, respect with which he was held by his pupils, and the deep affection which his confreres had for him, speak volumes for his ability as a teacher and goodness as a religious. May he rest in Peace! i 8

llbaul nb. more Zin Memoriam N the Eleventh ol january last, the whole student body was deeply shocked to learn of the death of Paul Dore, one of the most popular of their number. Returning from his Christmas holidays, lilled with enthusiasm to complete his iirst year with the same success with which he had begun it, he complained of a pain in his side. An examnation revealed the feared fact that appendicitis had developed, and he was rushed to an operation. His youthful strength and vigour weathered the first attack, but complications set in, and much to the surprise and sorrow of all, took him from our midst. Paul, who was only twenty years of age, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. james NN. Dore of Hamilton, and a brother of Wfilfred, who is in fourth year theology at St. Michaels He was born in Hamilton, and received his primary and secondary education at St. Patrick's Separate and High Schools, coming to St. lVIichael's last fall to enrol in first year of the General Course. '.l'hough young, he was always a leader in boys, activities, and last year was Mayor of the Hamilton Boys' Council. VV e had known Paul only a short time when his Master called him to Him, yet we had learned to love him, and found in him the highest type of young manhood. He was quiet and unassuming, yet he won his way by his sincerity, devotion, and jovial manners into the hearts of all his classmates, and the days immediately following his ,death were filled with gloom for us all. Paul was one of the stars of the Mulock Cup Rugby Team, and was perhaps missed most by his team-mates, for he gave all he had and was a true sport. ' To his family and to his brother VV1lfred, we extend our most sincere sympathy for the loss oi one who must have meant so much to them, since we missed him so greatly after such a short friendship. Though his young life was amodel one, his dying moments were the most beautiful of all. Surrounded by his parents and his priests, shortly after receiving the Holy Viaticum, he went to liis God. He died a death as became his life, and has gone to his reward. Requiescat in Pace. 9
