RECORD ENROLLMENT AT LOYOLA

Registration Nears Thousand Mark

This fall has seen the largest registration in L oyola ’s fifty -y ear history. From the original half dozen class-rooms in the Junior Building, Loyola has expanded to include some twenty-two classes catering to the educational needs of over 900 students.

A graph o f the registration in the last ten years shows a slow but steady increase from 1936 to 1942, follow ed by a sharp rise in subsequent years. In 1936, we had 384 students, o f whom 133 were College, and 251 High School. In 1939, the first war year, there were 433 registered, only 115 being College men. The College registration show ed a slight decrease during the war years, but the High School regis­tration mounted steadily. W ith the introduction o f the Science Course in 1943, the College regis­tration rose to 147, while the High 'School num bered 444 stu- denta. Last year. saw -201—in Col­lege and 526 in H igh School.

W ith the end o f hostilities, many form er students in the for­ces returned to com plete their interrupted studies. Alterations have been necessary to accom ­modate the increased number o f students.

The exact registration is not yet available. There are approxi­mately 915 students in all, with about 650 in the High School, 215 in the College, and som e 50 already registered for the re­fresher course.

VETERANS INVADE OLD CLASSROOMS

Last week multitudes of vet­erans all over Montreal and throughout Canada returned to the classroom after an absence o f years. Thousands of soldiers, sailors, airmen and merchant sea­men, taking advantage o f the R e­habilitation Educational Benefit o ffered through wise legislation, buckled down to the preparation o f a better future for themselves and Canada.

L oyola was happy to welcome its own large share of ‘vets’ and saw them further sw ell its all­time enrolm ent. The ‘vets’ are w ell represented in classes of both the Arts and Science Courses at Loyola, but the m ajority o f them are contained in a special M atriculation Class.

Elsewhere in these pages and in future issues o f the News will be found names, details o f decora­tions, citations and deeds. W hat we, at this moment, find most noteworthy and heartening is the attitude and spirit o f these men. They are all eager, keen. Not for them the bitterness bred by the erroneous notion o f “ Wasted Years” . Their years o f Service have only made them stronger, wiser, m ore determined. They have returned well disciplined in

Latest Equipment Installed In Labs

Improvements Made For Expanding S c i e n c e C o u r s e s

In the past two weeks many o f us have wondered what changes in the labs necessitated the al­most com plete extinction o f the Smoker.

The Chem istry Lab, with the addition o f one table, w ill be able to handle 175 General Chemistry students each week. Several no­table im provements have been m ade in this lab, am ong them are the new Terrazo flooring, a new hood, under which to perform toxic experiments and a new wir­ing system that w ill perm it the installing o f fluorescent lighting as soon as the equipm ent is re­leased by the government.

Besides these im provements in the existing lab a new lab has been built in the form er Junior classroom, for the use o f the stu­dents taking Organic and Advan­ced Analytic Chemistry. This new lab contains four tables said to be the most modern in M ontreal. They are equipped with gas, water, electricity and steam, and were designed by members o f the Faculty. There is a highly e ffic i­ent ventilation system which, it is hoped, w ill rem ove all odors before they permeate the build­

ing. Also included is a new hood for toxic experiments which al­lows fu ll control o f gas and water from the outside.

The size o f the Sm oker has been decreased by the construc­tion o f a special balance room for the use o f the students o f Analytic Chemistry.

The Physics lab has been ra­dically changed by the construc­tion o f a corridor through fhe centre, with a lab on either side. The lab at the rear of the build­ing is for Physics and by the use o f three long tables, can ac­com m odate more students at one time than could the larger lab last year.

The other half o f the lab is to be shared by students o f E lec­tricity and Physical Chemistry. It has accom m odation for forty stu­dents in Electricity and twenty- four in Physical Chem.

The construction o f these laDS has been in progress all summer, under the supervision of Fr. Mac­Kinnon S.J., who has done a marvellous job , nothwithstanding the difficulty in procuring labour and materials.

TIMES WRITER OPENS SERIES

Mr. Hallett Abend, chief far eastern Correspondent for the New Y ork Times, brings his m anifold adventures and experiences to Loyola Auditorium on Sunday night, as the first in a group of ten featured speakers being pres­ented by the Loyola Alum ni Ladies’ Auxiliary.

The recent arrival o f V-J Day, the signing o f the peace treaty on the Missouri and the successful occupation o f the Japanese home islands all make this lecture one of prime importance. Mr. Abend has chosen as his subject, “ Outlook in the P acific .” To those who have follow ed the situation in the East, this topic w ill a fford much food for thought and w ill answer many o f the difficu lties which are still question marks confronting the A llied leaders. Mr. Abend knows the enemy, he has travelled through their lands, and, know ­ing their temperament and their religious fanaticism , he is in a position to enlighten us on the prospects o f bringing democracy to that land.

Besides his contributions to the Saturday Evening Post and Read­er ’s Digest, Mr. Abend has also written, “ Japan Unmasked” , “ Tor­tured China” and many other im­portant books. His analysis of P acific problem s has made him an authority on this subject, and everyone who hears him on Sun­day night w ill be filled with a new understanding o f the conquered Japs, their customs, and their land.

Many other famous lecturers w ill be heard during the com ing season. Am ong them are Gerald

What About Parish Spirit ?

During the course of a student’s life at a College he real­izes the necessity of acquiring and maintaining a solid school spirit which will form a healthy and happy atmosphere about the College. Loyola has been admired for its indomitable spirit, manifested so often on the field, on the stage, on the ice, m the News Room and in many other activities about the Campus. This has strengthened Loyola and has been a great factor in

When war was declared in September, 1939 Loyola alumni and students could be seen in re­cruiting offices throughout Can­ada. During the grim years since there has been a never-ending flow of Loyola men to the Armed Services. Since their induction most of them have m aintained a sporadic correspondence with old friends back at the College, so that they have always been re­mem bered at Loyola.

nder the Towerwith Bob Guimond

making'the student’s stay aTCollege a happy one.Hoavever, there is a tendency for many students to lose

what might be termed Parish Spirit. There is a definite lack of participation on the part of these students in the three lives of a parish, the religious life, the financial life, and the social life.

The Parish expects its educated members to become active leaders in the activities of the parish, and is disappointed to find them, in many instances, with a careless attitude. What was an asset to the College becomes a disappointment to the Parish.

If this is too prevalent the net result is that the Parish languishes, its parishioners become indifferent, and the strong bond that should join Catholics to their Parish is weakened. The evil consequences of this are all too obvious.

Catholics who have the privilege of a college education (*ffSW»a-duty imposed "pon them automatically. This duty is to make use of their talents and their education to support the different activities of their parish as far as they are able. By fulfilling this duty they are strengthening their parochial unit and building up a parish spirit that can fill any parish withlife and vigour. R. B.

What Now ?Victory has brought us more than glory, much more than

soon forgotten exuberance. Now we, the Youth of Canada, an important member of the United Nations, stand with a large share of this fearsome burden on our war-weary shoulders. the responsibilities of the victor— a wealthy and powerful vic­tor— towards the vanquished and towards Posterity.

The vanquished are watching us intently, scrutinizing our attitude. They think: “ It is your move now. You have fought successfully for what you thought was right; now let us see how right it really is.” Such is the crux of the problem of peace as it now stands before us. The success we achieve in coping with this problem will determine the influence we shall have over the attitude of the vanquished and the judgment ofposterity. ! 1 «

As Catholic and Canadian young men we have a clear-cut part to play in the peace effort. We imust nqw, collectively and individually, review our code and strengthen our purpose. W e must behave ourselves in such a way that our fellowman will believe us and imitate us. More than ever before must we now determinedly stand our watch beside our principles. Everywhere around us can be found inspiration to renewed effort.

Our College Arms offer a simple and adequate code: Bravery, Honour, Generosity. They were brave who carried our arms to the fields of battle, who landed under fire on the beaches of France, who defied the flak over Germany. They were brave, the oft-imperilled seamen Who repeatedly re­turned to the task. So must we be. Our enemy can no longer be seen. He wages a subtle, relentless war, assuming various, hanmless-looking shapes: complacency, laziness, in­difference, selfishness. He can be deadly and must be fought ruthlessly. Honour—“To thine own self be true. ^Ve must remain conscious of the importance of our position in the bat­tle. Generosity. Let us not forget how generous they were who unselfishly contributed the “ last full measure of devo­tion.”

Dieppe . . . El Alam ein . . . Casablanca . . . Sicily . . . Saler­no . . . France . . . Burma . . . in nearly every theatre o f war, Loyola men have been present and their prowess in battle has been marked by the number of decorations, M.C.s, D.F.C.S and others, they have received.

The greater number o f them have come through the war un­scathed, by the G-race o f God; the few who still lie under for­eign skies will ne*er be forgotten by Loyola.

Now that the actual fighting has ceased, a number o f our vet erans have returned to L oyola to continue their studies; to them and to all other returned men, Loyola says: WELCOME HOME.

So Unnecessary A chatty little blonde girl, age

4, neatly solved the streetcar prob­lem o f overcrow ding before an amused load of passengers recent­ly. “ M ommy,” she inquired, “ why is everybody standing up when there are so many laps to sit o n ?”

Cautious and Shrewd The two angry candidates o f

opposing political beliefs rushed at each other. Friends stepped :n to separate them. Each struggled to get at the other. The first, see­ing the extremely violent e ffort o f the other, exclaim ed: "M ore of you men hold Jones! One man can hold m e !”

Keeping the Record Straight Motion Picture D irector ito

publicity ag en t): “ Listen, Mon­tague, why do you keep telling the people I aim an optim ist? I ’m in the m oving picture business -—not an eye d o c to r !”

Nowadays a GI never knows if a bride’s blush is embarrassment or the flush o f victory.

Well, here we are again, boys. It took us a little longer than we expected, but we’re off now to what we hope is a fly­ing start. W e had planned to have an issue out for the first day of College, but things didn’t pan out that way. First of all we had to change printers, and then half the staff was taken away by scholastic duties. Come to think of it, we’re lucky to have got started at all. However, now that we have started, you’ll be hearing from us regularly from now on. This marks, I believe, the twenty-first birthday of the News, and as we come of age we hope to bring you bigger and better News every time out.

Since we’ve been gone the College has changed quite a bit. All the labs have been eidgjrged, the Smoker has shrunk to half its former size, (and new classes have sprung up in the most unlikely places. Luckily the rooms (have all been num­bered, nevertheless don’t be surprised if pome gasping Senior or Junior begs you to tell him fcvhere Number 10 or 04 can be found. I won’t say it’s crowded, but every time Champ Cami- rand enters one end of the Smoker three (men leave College. But every bit of space is being used to (advantage: even one

of the phone booths is reported as being readied for Junior Science. ' ^

Many will be pleased if the rumoured cut in C.O.T.C. par­ades materializes. It is said that there will only be one parade a week this y£ar. Wonderful if true. Speaking of C.O.T.C. this corner hears that many of last year’s Lance-corporals will be this year’s one pippers. S'o take hope, you perennial. .Cadets, you might get those stripes yet.

This year, it appears, is going to be our year in football. Two Sundays ago we had the jpleasure of witnessing the most one-sided .game .ever held on the Campus. As you no doubt know, Loyola defeated McGee 57-0. Our next game is with our arch-rivals, West (Hill. This igaane takes place this Monday coming, and don’t be {surprised if We iavenge our­selves after last year’s 1-0 defeat for the city (title. Con­gratulations and good luck, fellows!

Congratulations are also due to Kev Keirans and Paul Brennan, who both won the M.C. during the summer (more about them elsewhere in the issue). Many familiar faces have returned to the College this semester, among them, Eddie Asselin, Bill Doyle, Tubby O’Connell and others. To them a heartfelt thanks and a hearty welcome.

The reported return of College Football to Loyola was just a lot of wishful thinking. There is some slight hope held in soime quarters, hut it looks like we’re out o f luck this year. It’s too late now to get the ball rolling. The best thing to do is to adopt the cry of the Dodgers fans, “ Wait till next year.”

As you probably already know, Loyola is holding a re­fresher course for the vets, and jquite (a few of them are old

Loyola students. Returning are Dave WiHcock, Jerry Mc­Donough, and many others who have been well known and

Ulr«xl around Loyola. To all of Loyola’s returning servicemen we echo the words of the Rector in his Welcoming Address to the College. We never forgot about you: we remembered you in the Chapel every (day.

Somewhere in this issue you’ll find an articlfe CSh&feing the enrolment this year. We understand that stands at about 900 students. If my meimory serves me right that means that the College has trebled its enrolment in eight years. This also means an increase of from two to three hun­dred over last year. It also means that,Bill’s is very, very crowded these noon hours.

Junior and Senior held the elections for the Loyola Debat­ing Society, and to the delight of all Yves Menard was elected second in command to Joe White, and Jerry (that’s my boy) St. Cyr was elected Secretary. Despite the applause of his supporters, Jerry refused to make an inaugural address. Re­turning to Loyola this year is a former Ed. of the News, Frankie Higgins. Also Keith English and Frank McKinney after a spell in the Army. Rog Carriere is campaigning for students to represent Loyola in the Solemn Thanksgiving for peace. W e understand that there will definitely be no Fresh­man week this year. W e seem to be following the lead of M c­Gill and other Universities in this matter.

Well, it’* about time ,to close, but before we do we’d like to extend « sincere welcome to ail |the many newcomers to Loyola and hope that their stay here (will be lengthy and successfuL * '

In his four years at Loyola, Don Pare has taken part in almost every activity. He has played Ban­tam. Junior, and Senior Football, and is one o f the best ends on the Learn this year.

W hen he was in first high, Don had a leading role in ‘M acBeth’ , and has recently become a member o f the stage crew for future Loyola productions.

He Used to Eat There

Intra-Mural FootballIntra-mural F ootball has re­

turned to Loyola H igh School, after two years o f inactivity. Be­cause o f the increased number o f classes, the league will now op­erate in three sections, instead of the original two.

The Senior section is made up o f fourth and Third High the Intermediate group comprises only the Second H ighs; while the Junior section includes First Highs and Prep.

The opening game was or i­ginally scheduled for last Mon­day, but was postponed on ac­count o f rain ; and so the first games were not played until W ednesday, when the Senior league opened with 3A defeating 3C in a wide open game. Over on theCOTC field, the Junior league

opened; 1C overcom e IB by a score o f 11 to 5.

In the senior league game, 3A fielded a strong, fast team, which was too hot for 3C to handle. Barrette was the high scorer in the game with two touchdowns. Soubrani scored one FiTe-pointe'FT" ~ and 'Crawford kicked a rouge to make a total o f 16 points.

F or the losers, M orel went over on the receiving end o f a freak pass from Fraser. Several players had their hands on the ball before M orel finally did the catching. Fraser accounted for another point on a rouge. Final score, 16 to 6.

On Thursday, the Interm edi­ates opened hostilities with 2B beating 2A one to nothing, in an uneventful game. Boucher kick­ed a rouge for the only point o f the game.

j High School HighlightsBy DON SUDDABY

Greetings and salutations to one and all as we finish the first month of Loyola ’s fiftieth year. We extend our best wishes to all the new boys for a fruitful start at Loyola and we feel quite sure they will carry on in the best tra­ditions of the school.

W hile this genial mood is still with us. we must congratulate Loiiis Fortin, o f the College, who so kindly explained the Loyola crests in this issue. Up to this time we hadn't met anyone who could;

In the intra-mural front the senior league is slowly com ing to life, and from the looks o f things at the moment it is going to be a bitter battle. Captain Don Burke has his 4A team holding closed practices at the far end o f the campus. On the other hand, ru ­mours have reached us of 3C’s triple-threat, ‘M ousie’ Fraser, who led his team to v ictory on W ed­nesday, who will bear watching.

Loyola has tried som ething new this year, namely individual closed retreats at the start o f school for Third and Fourth High classes. At this point half o f these are com ­pleted, and we note they are an unqualified success. Dave Mc- Athey was heard to remark, “ It was the best retreat I ever made.” That many words from McAthey is an achievement indeed.

The new system o f eight peri­ods a day agrees favourably with the vast m ajority o f the boys for the simple reason that they haven’ t time to tire o f one sub­ject, before they have switched to som ething else. Of course it has its drawbacks, the primary one being that it is decidedly d ifficu lt to sleep in classes with so many bells ringing.

A decided increase in the num­ber o f students at Friday morning Mass was noted but there Is still room for more, many more. So com e on. Fellows, make a small sacrifice and fall out o f bed forty- five minutes earlier.

Inflation has set in at B ill’s i with the price o f both sandwiches

and hot dogs rising to staggering heights. W hen questioned about this, the w orthy man merely flushed a disarm ing smile and said, “ you go see de m inister” . That ended that.

Hartland Punt deserves a round o f applause for his splendid work arranging the tennis tournament. W e feel sure that under his care­fu l management every thing will be run o ff sm oothly and that is a change for Loyola tennis tourna­ments.

Mr. Fred W hitm an has kindly o ffered to take the graduating class o f ’ 46, High School to Ot­tawa, in order that they m ight sit in on a session o f the House ol Commons. Also promised is an in­terview with Prime Minister King. This trip is greatly looked forward to by everyone in the class.

W e have heard from our agents that there w ill be no play this term by the Dramatic Society. This will be a disappointment to many, since L oyola ’s dramatic offerings have always been well received, and a huge success.

In onr m ental department we are pleased to report an im prove­ment in Dave 'McAthey. He has only small relapses now. On the other hand Malcolm Fraser is los­ing ground daily, but there is still hope.

Ah, Hark! H ark! the lark, I must fly. So ‘Au R evoir' till next time.

FLASH FROM DEAN’S OFFICE.

Joe Roney, prom inent Fresh­man offic ia l o f last year, active in skidoodlers, Savonarola and the radio play, has been an­nounced the honorary president o f Freshm an Class. H e w ill re ­tain this post till the election o f class president takes place in two m onth’s time.

W hen asked to explain a recent shiner, the sergeant stated: “ I got it in a guessing game. My wife called up on the phone and faid: ‘Guess who this is, d ear? ’ ”

In both K.B.S. and Sodality Don has worked hard, and as treasurer last year he did much for the suc­cess o f the S.O.S. stamp drive last year.

Tlie activity for which he is most renowned is skiing, he has been a mainstay o f the Junior Ski team for the past two years.

In all ways Don has shown him­self to be a traditional ‘Loyola Man’ .

The navy has many men like this veteran o f convoy routes and landing operations. His duty done, he’s coming ashore to put his training to civilian use.

He has learned a lot and learned it thoroughly; at sea there’s no room for half­measures. For a ship to survive, each one o f the crew must know his job and do it with authority. Whether he’s an engine-room artificer, a coder, telegraphist, stoker, writer or gunner, he’s an expert and well capable o f applying his specialized know­ledge in many civilian fields. T o that end he’s been taking special Vocational Training along those very lines.

T o employers needing competent men accustomed to responsibility and sparked by initiative, he and his mates are sure bets.

NEW FRENCH COURSE IN H.S.

For the past few years the ques­tion o f a revision o f the High School French course has been un­der consideration. It w^s felt that Loyola in com m on with othei English-speaking schools has been turning out too many men who, in spite o f several years’ study of French, are still for all practical purposes unilingual. As this is a serious handicap in both business and professional life in Canada, Loyola has decided to do som e­thing about it.

Fortunately a great deal o f re­search has been done in the last twenty-five years on the subject of Modern Language teaching. Hence new and more efficient methods are available for modern needs.

The emphasis in Modern Lang­uage teaching is on conversation. Teach the student to speak. This does not mean that correct speech is the only aim, but that the oral approach is the primary one. Through speaking he w ill learn also to understand, to write and to read.

From the very first class the student is taught to express him­self orally in French. He w ill use regular and irregular verbs In­differently according to the needs o f the moment. Later he will learn to classify them. The student is always taught how to say the French expression first, without worrying for the moment why it is said that way. Once he is familiar with the French expression he is then shown how to analyse it and to in fer the principle involved.

The science o f Phonetics has been o f incalculable aid in the study o f foreign languages. The student is taught to pronounce correctly the sixteen French vow el sounds and to recognise the distinctive symbol for each sound in phonetic spelling. The stu­dent’s ability to pronounce cor­rectly is checked by regular oral examinations.

SENIORS PREP FOR WEST HILL CLASHAnnual Classic Slated For Thanksgiving Day

A fter three or four weeks of hard practice, the senior gridders spurred on by the fine coaching o f Gordie M ariotte opened the sea­son with a 57-0 victory against McGee. W atching the boys take the toll o f the Pine Ave. aggrega­tion brought back mem ories of last year’s teams that almost clinched the city laurels for Loyola. Having lost through gra­duation or otherwise a goodly number o f players, fifteen to be exact, the team in its first few workouts failed to impress even the most faith ful o f the railbirds. A fter the clash with McGee there were many am ong the huge crow d who were w illing to bet that this was the team for all others to try to beat. Looking over the roster we could easily reason why the lads had com e through so handi­ly. There is Sammy Davidson who is still breaking the hearts o f his opponents with his spectacular runs. There is “ Shifty” Harry Kelly, a man showing all kinds of promise for the season. Hank Tous is still tearing those lines to shreds. Quarterbacking the team is “ Chinny” H effernan who is d o ­ing a masterly job o f calling the plays and throwing the passes. Turning our attention to the front wall we see “ W hitey” Schutz, a converted backfielder, now doing the underhand passing from the center position. John Pytlick and Bob Perras, both veterans o f last year’s team, are again featured at the inside spots. Jack Clayton takes end passes in brilliant fa ­

shion and the tackling o f M ayville at the other end post is spectacul­ar. Keep your eyp on the per­form ances o f some of those back- field men; lads like Don Suddaby, Bob Marchessault, Moe Malone and Paul O’Neill. Any o f these can be singled out for stardom.

NO. C.H.S. GAME It would have been enjoyable

to see the outcom e o f the sche­duled Loyola-iCatholic H igh tilt. Both teams have com e through with victories in their opening games. In com paring the two teams it would be fair to say that it would be nip and tuck all the way. H owever judging from the reports o f the C.H.'S. -Montreal High game it is probable that Loy­ola would com e out on top. But as the game will not take place until Nov. 4, we w ill have to wait for the result.

W K STH ILL NEXT The annual Thanksgiving Day

classic against W esthill w ill again take place, on Oct. 8. Many o f us w ill remember the game o f last year which saw Loyola bow 11-1. This gaipe was just a forecast of what was going to happen and of what did happen when these two teams met in the City Finals, with Loyola being on the short end o f a close 1-0 thriller.

W esthill are in som ewhat the same predicament as Loyola in that they too are heavily hit by graduation. H owever Coach R oy Chesley has again m oulded a strong machine that has been go­ing very strongly in their open-

ing games, with victories against W estm ount and Montreal High. But we again point to the score and the play against McGee. That speaks for itself. Incidentally here is some news that w ill un­doubtedly fill the hearts o f the faithful with joy . Vince Amen­gual, All-Star Middle o f last year, and Keith English, another A ll­Star backfielder, have both been reporting for practices and will see action in the W esthill contest. W e can ’ t forget the return o f Ronnie Sutherland to the team. Ron did much to spark the team in its many victories last season.

Bantam Highlights

Every season people begin to ask : ‘ How are the Bantams doing this season ?” The reason for said question is fairly obvious. For the Bantams o f to-day are the Seniors o f tom orrow. And as they are the im portant team o f the school then it is also necessary that the coach be one who knows his business to the letter. Anyone w ho knows Eddie Meagher and his playing record can easily se«. that he is the proper man for the job . Ed has spent the last two years coaching various Loyola

teams and as he starts on his last year at the College he takes over the mentorship of the Bantam en­try.

A smart young aggregation has been form ed around Bucky Orr, George Mean, Lorne Brown, Bill Boyd and Herbie English. La- roque, “ M ichigan” Flynn Mulcair and Aubien have been instrument al in bringing the line into such prominence.

Since very little difficulty was encountered in the McGee game, which the boys took handily 33-5, we can expect that they w ill have little more trouble with the other teams o f the league.

SENIOR SENSATIONSAlthough alm ost two weeks

have passed since the Maroon and W hite Seniors were unveiled to the public we still can ’ t get over the fact that it was really a Loy­ola team at work. Never can we remember having seen such an ef­ficient and well-coached squadron in the colors of Loyola. The whole affair becomes m ore startling if you recall that many o f the play­ers, particularly the backfielders, were making their first start in Senior company. It rarely hap­pens that such a collection of former Juniors can be moulded together into such a strong band. All this goes to show that Coach Gordie Mariotte must really have som ething on the ball. His abili­ties as a football player, treated elsewhere in the paper, are varied, and his fine record implies that he knows much about the game. Just wander out to the campus any afternoon after class and you ’ ll see what we mean. The man­ner in which he drives his charges is som ething to see. Again much of the success is due to the play­ers themselves who under the leadership o f Sammy Davidson are determined to make this year “ Loyola year” in the football world.

A W ORD OF WELCOMEIt w ouldn ’ t be right to continue

any further without first saying a few words o f w elcom e to our re­turning veterans. These are the men who w illingly gave up Loyola and all its activities to attend to a matter which was o f greater im ­portance. These are the men who unflinchingly faced grave danger and even death itself in order that we who were fortunate enough to remain at Loyola m ight benefit bv their sacrifice. W e can still re­member how in our jun ior high days we looked upon these college men with a fond feeling o f admi­ration as they carried the colors o f Loyola on the playing fields. They were our heroes then and

they remained our heroes during the dark days o f war. Loyola did not forget them and now welcom es them back with the hope that some day soon we may see them once again carry the colors o f their beloved college.

Intra-M ural Notings W e see that the High School

lads are taking the Intra-Mural situation to heart, and have form ed quite an im pressive league. Such a thing seems to recall memories o f the old days when Intra-Mural play was an important activity around the scnool.

It has o f late become dormant and its resurrection w il do much to increase the spirit o f the High School.

THANKSGIVING DAY In past years it has been the

tradition for Loyola to engage in a gridiron duel with the boys of W esthill. As time progressed these yearly struggles have taken on a greater im portance, because near­ly every season both schools are able to field teams o f almost equal calibre. None o f us can easily forget last year’s tussle and the game that follow'ed in the City Finals. Both were thrillers from start to finish. H aving had an opportunity to watch both teams in action we can readily predict that This w ill without a doubt be the game o f the year. Loyola has already impressed with its first v ictory and the Red and Grey can always be looked upon to give a good account o f them­selves. H ere then is an opportuni­ty for all Loyola men to show their loyalty. An opportunity to get be­hind their team and help it through to victory. Be there to support your team on Thanksgiv­ing Day, Oct. 8.

SIDELINE GLANCES W e note that Keith English,

V ince Am engual and Ronnie Suth­erland have returned to the Senior roster. W ith those three alone we could take alm ost any team. Johnny Gutelius is still limping around on a badly damaged leg,

JUNIOR GRIDDERS NOW TOP LEAGUE

W hen the News reporter at­tempted to gather some inform a­tion from the Junior coach, John Meagher, all that he was told for the most part was that the Junior team o f this year was without a Boubt the best outfit to represent the school. A lthough somewhat surprised, in listening to Coach Meagher's description o f the play­ers we were able to com e to the conclusion that perhaps he did have som ething to boast about. A l­ready the team has one victory under its belt, that being over McGee, and as they are scheduled to play on Oct. 1 we can only hope that they w ill have accomplished this feat again.

The Coach began his discussion by explaining that the team is com posed o f last year's Bantams with a sprinkling o f new material from first year men. Em ile Chu- mandy, the only rem aining Junior, is considered to be the main stem o f the line. Little Paul Gallagher, the captain, after being shifted from one position to the other finally wound up playing in the number four spot in the backfield. The backfield is com posed o f Don Malone at quarter, the surprise of the year; Dick Tremblay, high scorer o f last year’s Bantam s; Bob Mudie at fly ing wing, $.nd Jim ­mie O’Brien at half. There are other backfield men in the person o f Reg Clayton, Keith K err and R oy Nichols. On the line Jack W alsh holds down the center spot with O’Shaughnessy and H ecklin- ger at insides. Most o f the team ’s w eight lies at middle where Emiil Cham andy and Sam MteGee hold forth. Ralph Hibbard and Paul Laroque hold down the ends.

Perhaps the most important man to any team is the manager, and the Juniors have one o f the best in Hank (Skittles) McCaig As the team is viewed from the stand it looks m ore than probable that the team is well on the way to garner the Laurels for Loyola.

and may not see action for the remainder o f the season. Note to some o f the H.S. and College lads; It would be nice to see a large turnout to watch the three teams practice, they’d like a bit o f sup­port on days other than those o f the games. Could be that there will soon be news forthcom ing o f the building o f a new stadium across Sherbrooke street. Plans have already been drawn up. Don’t forget that W esthill game, gang, it promises to be the battle o f the year. Come early and don ’ t be disappointed.

Gordie Mariotte Leads Seniors In Title Hunt

Once in a very rare while is there found the coach who can be considered the ideal coach, one who has all the qualities o f a mas­ter. Ability to mould a contender from the material at hand, ability to inspire his charges to greater efforts, and the ability to teach the fundamentals o f the game clearly. Such a coach has been found in the person o f Gordie Mariotte, m entor o f this year’s Maroon and W hite squad.

W hen it was discovered that Jake Shaughnessy, leader o f last season’s outfit, would be unable to return due to his enlistment in the United States Army, the L.C.A.A. were at a loss to find som eone to fill his shoes. Then like "M an­na from Heaven” appeared Gordie, returning to his Alma Mater in the role o f coach. He is certainly no stranger to form er students o f Loyola who remember him during his years here, 1932-1937. In ath­letic endeavors Gord reached the pinnacle o f success not only while at Loyola but after he had left for other fields o f endeavour. After starring on College and High School teams from ’32-’ 37, Gordie then proceeded to McGill where he took up the study o f law and played rugby and hockey for the Redmen. Not confin ing his talents to one or two sports in particular Gordie next turned to the old game o f Lacrosse where he coached and managed the Lachine Lacrosse team o f 194 3 which took the Senior Provincial Lacrosse title. The follow ing season he took up duties as General Manager o f the Senior Lacrosse league. Returning to the football wars he was a mem­ber o f the All-Star team o f the Q.R.F.U. which in 1943 played an All-Star aggregation from the armed forces.

In returning to the scene o f his

form er school days Gordie brings with him a wealth o f experience, and the necessary qualifications necessary to hand over that experi­ence to his team. As we watched his team humble the McGee squad we could not help but feel that there was the touch o f the master, the manner in which his men ran o ff their plays and the manner in which they broke up the attacks o f the opposition. A lthough highly underated by those who watched the team in pre-season practice his team proceeded in no uncertain manner to show just what a squad under his leadership could do.

Since the C.H.S. contest origin­ally scheduled for last Sunday has been postponed till Nov. 4 then the Senior collegians will not play again until the meet with the pow erful Red and Grey o f W est­hill in the annual thanksgiving classic on Oct. 8. This is one game that you can’ t sell Loyola short on.

Any team that is coached by Mariotte is sure to be a tough aggregation to beat. Being a little bit on the optim istic side we can just about predict that you w ill see these same two teams, W esthill and Loyola, clashing in the No­vember final for the city trophy.

It’s just about a certainty that W est Hill and Loyola will be on top o f the Protestant and Catho­lic sections respectively, when the regular league schedule It cum-— pleted. The Red Raiders have chalked up convincing triumphs over W estm ount (30 -5 ) and Mont­real (2 0 -6 ), the only other teams in their section, and Loyola white­washed D’Arcy McGee (57-0) and should be able to defeat Catholic High without too much exertion.

After w orking hard all sum­mer. it certainly is en joyable to return to the halls o f learning, even though in our absence they have become so narrow that some o f our stouter students have to grease their girdles to get through them. This feeling is only tem­porary, however. It w ill pass. It was pleasant, also, to see the large number of Freshmen cluttering up the place and trying to buy your books Nor do we subscribe to the dim view taken by a senior who claim ed that: “ Every year there are more and m ore Fresh­men, and they get more and more Fresh.” A very ungrammatical Senior, that boy. But for the bene­fit o f all new students we feel it would be a very good thing to lay down a few rules o f conduct.

1. When talking to a senior re­move your hat, and hold it in your hand. This shows your great re­spect for his august position, and protects your hat at the same lime.

2. W hen in the company of a Junior put your hat on, otherwise you might catch cold in the draught.

3. D on ’t even try to talk to a SophomoYe, unless it’s a dark night. Their positions are so shaky they’re afraid that if they are seen talking to a Frosh, that they will be put back a year.

4. Always wear running shoes in the library, its the only chance the librarians have to sleep.

5. W hen you are rushing up­stairs to a class, always run on the right hand side so you w on ’t get knocked down by people running downstairs to a class.

- —1-fay in g done our duty by themob, we recall with horror that on the opening day a vividly coloured pyjama-coat, disguised as Gordon Panneton, managed to get into the auditorium. A fter the session was over the body was carried outside and shipped back to Harry Gold for drastic alterations. Guess that means our straw boater has to stay in the closet.

Some o f last year’s students must have wondered what has happened to Russel A lcock, the boy scientist. A fter what happen­ed to Japan there should be no doubt whatever. W » always knew Russ was on the track o f som e­thing big. but d idn ’t realise that he was going to usher in the Atom ic Age all by him self. So that’s what he was doing in the lab last year. Some people often wondered.

Speaking of scientists, re­minds us o f Jimmy Leahy, a very fast party with a slide-rule in the engineering game. Young James decided to associate him ­self with a large electrical bunch for the summer, when he was told that he should pick up a lot o f handy gen on electrical equip­ment. Hah! (IHe picked it up all r igh t). L ift that box! T ote that hale!

W e note with great .pleasure, that all members o f the class of ’ 47 Poker and Sm oking society are now hack, v iciously attack­ing their studies. But the name of the organization will have to be changed. A fter a year in the Navy, the Vice-President in charge of cigars, Charlie Phelan has joined most of his com pat­riots in (Sophomore. But it is just a vicious rum our that Charles hasn’ t shaved since he left in an e ffort to grow one o f those pusser beards so popular in the Navy. Charlie shaves every month whether he has to or not.

The other day, we happened to drift past the disorganized la­boratories, and paused to watch the work. One of the professors, Mr. O’Connor was pacing up and down the floor, flicking ash into

The College Crest of a cut which appeared in the Belvederian—Annual published by the Belvedere College, S.J., Dublin— sometime previous to 1916. It shows the coat of arms separated “ per bend” — obliquely— with the Loyola coat in the position of honour.. The third drahving is that of the Class pin of the “ Pioneers” of the “ new college,” classes of_ ’ 16 and ’17. It has the two coats separated “ per pale”— by a vertical line.— This design seems to have become a favourite among students for it is very commonly met with on class pins.

Loyola has its own coat of arms. It was decided upon in 1920 during the rectorship of Father Kingston, S.J., and ap­pears on the cover of the General Prospectus. A reproduction of it constitutes the fourth drawing of the above series.

It is interesting to note that the device which we generally refer to as the College Grest is not truly a crest from the heraldic point of view. A crest is a distinctive symbol appear­ing above the Arms of a shield. On our College Crest appear the arms of two noble Spanish families.

In 1916 Father Eugene Chabot, S.J.— then just plain Eugene Chabot, student—published in the Loyola College Re­view an article entitled “ The Loyola Arms,” giving the origin, evolution, meaning and heraldic peculiarities of what devel­oped into the college crest.

Anyone entering the College Chapel can find, in the ves­tibule, just to the left o f the center door, a plaque inscribed with the dedication of the chapel and adorned with two shields, One showing seven red bars on a field of gold and marked Onaz; the other showing two wolves with their front paws resting on a kettle hanging from a chain, and marked: Loyola. Such were the arms of the two families into which was born Saint Ignatius, Founder of the Society of Jesus.

The Onaz arms, with their seven red bars, commemorate the bravery of the seven Onaz brothers. These red bars were granted them by the King of Spain as a mark of honour.

The Loyola shield tells a more intricate story. First of all, the nalrae Loyola is represented symbolically by the wolves and the pot— “ lobo v olla” , Spanish for, literally “ wolf and pot.”—Furthermore, the wolf, in those days, stood for Nobil­ity. The design as a whole, according to Father Raphael Perez, S.J., represents Generosity. It seems that the Loyolas showed such liberality that even the wolves might have feast­ed copiously after the whole Loyola retinue had been supplied from their pot.

In 1261 Don Lope de Onaz married Dona Ines. de Loyola and the two above-described shields were combined into one. As the Onaz family was the father’s family the original com­bination shows the Onaz arms in the place of honour— i.e.: to the right o f the wearer. As years passed the two falmilies caime to occupy but one castle, that of Loyola, and the Loyola arms eventually gained the position of honour.

The drawings accompanying this column represent a few of the various combined shields that have been encountered through recent years. The first one appeared on the hack of the College Catalogue at the time of Father Chabot’s article and on various occasions since then. It gives the arms of each familv their proper position. The second illustration is that
