RIOFRIO,
С.
M.
Former Professor of Languages at
St. Vincent’s College Passes
Away Suddenly
Death claimed suddenly the well
known Vincentian, ReY. Daniel J.
Riofrio, Monday morning, April 26,
when he suecombed to a sudden at¬
tack of heart failure. For some weeks
passed he had not bpen over well,
but on Monday morning as usual he
had said Mass at the Los Angeles
Orphanage, of which he was the chap¬
lain, and afterwards had gone out to
visit some of his sick parishoners.
While at the home of one of these the
dttack came on. He was assisted to
a couch and a physician was called
but before his arrival Father Riofrio.
had passed away.
Father Riofrio, was born in Ecuador
in the year 1865. As a young man he
joined the Vincentian Fathers and
completed his studies for the priest¬
hood at Popayafi, Colombia. For some
years he taught philosophy in several
seminaries in South America. In
1908 he was forced to leave his native
country because of religious' persecu¬

FIELD DAY
Annual Inter -Class Meet
Coming Soon
Loyola’s yearly fun-fest is approach¬
ing in a short time. Rector’s Day will
be here and with it comes the annual
Field-Day, on which day our speed
merchants, high-jumpers, and other
star performers don their speedclothes
and: goggles and thus go forth to
mangle all known records of the track
and field. Tommy Milton’s gas bar-
row can put no fear into the hearts
of our speed performers.
Individual ^nd class prizes are one
of the big features of the classic. The
winning class in this year’s meet will
probably receive as a prize, Boob
McNutt’s well known top-piece, the
loser will be presented with Amestoy’s
special Raspberry, which he ihas been
saving for the occasion. The indi¬
vidual prize winner shall be given a
ride on one of Hickson’s line drives
while first money for the midgets shall
be Tschergfs seven league boots.
The senior classes of the college
and high school are expected to wage
a bitter fight for first place and the
scrap between these departing classes
should draw spectators from all parts
of the city. But The Cinder refuses
to allow these high and mighty to
think that they alone have this meet
won, every class in the school has a
good chance to sneak in a winner.
This is one day of the year oh which
every student becomes an athlete gbod
or bad, it matters not, and this year
should furnish no exception to this
custom so long established, because if
only a certain few enter the meet and
the rest of the student-body stand on
the side lines the meet can not be the
success it has always been, fto doubt
we shall enjoy watching the meet but
it's a. whole lot more fun to be up and
doing.

All ye “old timers” harken! On
Monday evening May the twenty
fourth, 1920, the Loyola Club Will
hold another one of its famous “old-
timers” round-ups. Thd “rodeo” will
be held at the college. On that even¬
ing, as in the past the doors of Loyola
College, will be thrown open and the
entire building turned over to the “old
crowd” of Loyola, formerly St. Vin-
cehts. This will be the first Club
smoker this year and plans are under,
way to make it the biggest gathering
q£ all the “old timers” in the history
of the Loyola Club. This reunion is
of special importance because the
Officers for the coming year will then
be chosen.
What is the Loyola Club ? The
Loyola Club, quoting its constituiton,
is an organization whose object is
“to uphold the reputation of the col¬
lege, to promote mutual good fellow¬
ship and to perpetuate the friendships
formed while at Ldyola. College, form¬
erly St. Vincents.” Who may and
should become members? All grad¬
uates * of the High School, together
with all those who have attended for
two consecutive years and then ter¬
minated their attendance with the
High School Department of Loyola
College. Every one therefore, who is
eligible and is not a member of the
Loyola Club should be present Mon¬
day evening, May 24, and file his ap¬
plication for membership. The Club
desires every one hf the “old timers”
numbered among its members.
The Loyola Club grew out of a
vivid realization on the ' part of the
High School Class of ’17. The neces¬
sity, of whht may be termed a High
School Alumni was evident at Loyola.
Fully awakened to this dire need the
Class 'of T7 met on Tuesday evening,
April 16, 1918, with Mr. Lawrence C.
Devlin as temporary Chairman and
Mr. Leo Aggeler as temporary Secre¬
tary, and founded the Loyola Club.
The first officers of this organization
were chosen at this meeting. They
consisted" of Rev. Z. J. Maher S. J. as
Chaplin, Mr. Bernard G. Hiss, Presi¬
dent; Mr. Oscar W. Haseneamp, Vice-
President, Mr Leo Aggeler, Secretary,!
Mr. Lorence M. Malone, Treasurer.
A committee was oppointed that even¬
ing being comprised of |he newly-
elected officers^ together with Law¬
rence C. Devlin and Mr. Edward
H. Tynan. This Board met on Wed¬
nesday evening, May 1, 1918, drafted
a constitution and gave the Club its
name. Loyola Club was then a real¬
ity with a charter membership of
thirty-nine. Enthusiasm had not
slackened but was still at its height.
As a result the first of the “old timers’
round-ups” was held at the Collejge
on Monday evening, May 20, 1918, with
a large crowd of “old timers” present,
still filled to overflow with that dis¬
tinctive Loyola “pep.” From that time
down to the . present it has been the
custom of the Loyola Club; to hold a
reunion once every four months, or
three /times a year. The Club’s ac¬
tivities include also various other so¬
cial functions. j
