The spirit dominating the atmosphere is one of joviality, gracious welcome, and cordial hand-shaking. Is this a great day, or is it an immense farce and pompous fake? Each alumnus cherishes most highly the affairs of the college which took place during his under¬ graduate ’ days. Second to these he relishes the BEST things which have happened since his departure from the school. But first in the mind of the average alumni is the “good old days,” when he went to Loyola. The best teams, the best classes, the best everything were those teams, classes, and things of his day. Then tomorrow when Loyola students of previous classes gather on the campus /to reiterate events, in the past tense, under graduates should listen humbly. For the love which cements an alumnus to his Alma Mater is the cherished me¬ mory of his days in school. So then, Home Coming is Great Day. We welcome you, Alumni! What of the Future Home coming is the day of “has- beens,” but ‘“has beens” are vital¬ ly concerned with activity of the future. The Grad who sits in the (Continued on Page 6) R.O.T.C.

Invitations have already been issued, and the response of the Alumni has proven most hearty* While both the Alumni of St. Vincents and Loyola are answering the call of Alma Mater in gener¬ ous numbers the whole hearted support of the Student Body is urged by the officers of the Alumni Association.

The prepara¬ tions made by the sponsors insure the fact that every Alumnus will receive a warm welcome back to old Alma Mater and that an eve¬ ning among their companions will bear them back to the scenes of school days. It is the pleasurable duty of every member of the Student Body to support this dance and help in any possible way to make this affair a real warm welcome and a true homecoming, long to linger in the memories of those present.

Kadaver Klub Organized by Pre-Medical A meeting for all Pre-Medical students was called on Wednesday afternoon, November the seventh by the acting President Erwin Tarsky. This meeting was for the purpose of organizing a new club that is to be known hereafter as the Kadaver^ Klub. Seventeen students were present at this initial meeting. The acting president, Erwin Tarsky, called the meeting to order. He spoke of effecting a permanent organization and he also explained the purpose of the club and the benefits that may be derived from participation in its activities. The first order of business was the election of officers. It had been previously decided that the offices of President and Vice-Presi¬ dent could be held only by upper classmen, however Freshmen were elgible for the offices of Secretary of Treausrer. In view of this two upper classman, Joe Pallermo and (Continued on Page 6) Lions Rated as Under Dogs Smith Men Class of Coast Fresh from decisive victories over St. Mary’s and St. Igna¬ tius, Coach “Clipper” Smith’s pack of fighting Gonzaga Bull¬ dogs invade the Loyola Lions’ den tomorrow afternoon to bat¬ tle with Peca~ovich’s fast stepping aggregation. The “Bulldogs” arrived in town New Manager For Cafeteria Under the skillful guidance of Mr. Jacobsburgh and Mrs. Ethel West the new administration of the school cafeteria bids fair to stamp itself as thoroughly capable to handle the business and the nour¬ ishing divisions to the best inter¬ ests of Loyola. With the aid of their corps of helpers they have undertaken a judicious reorganiza¬ tion. Already the quality of food has vastly improved and a safe margin of profit is assured under present conditions. The only lacking necessity and a very vital one is the co-operaton and support of students. All net profits will be used to suport stu dent activities alone.

Sullivan, S.J., our president was the recipient of many good wishes on the occasion of his birth¬ day, Tuesday, 30th of October. The Knights of Columbus gave a dinner in his honor at which many prominent persons were present. Costello Welcomes Alumni A hearty welcome to all the Alumni. After another year, *we reassemble on the old campus, and meet again the class¬ mates of yesterday, which perhaps will be our last home-com¬ ing on the present campus. Another year and the College shall convene on the hills of Del Rey. With the closing of this, the last year that the College will occupy the Venice Boulevard site, let us endeavor to do our part to make the year exceptional — a year that has not been equaled in our own hallowed time. The alumni should be the greatest supporters of College activities. They should be the advertisers of their Alma Mater achievements. The past years should amplify and quicken the memories of old. The recollection of the past should compel us to keep alive the old associations. These memories and associations can only be renewed on occasions such as this, when so many of our Alumni assemble tqgether to greet one another. The greater the attendance of the Alumni at functions of this sort, the greater is the pleasure of those who attend. You should, therefore, be very faithful in your attendance at all Alumni functions and in order to encourage the Student-body in their activities, we should likewise, be faithful in supporting thqir functions. . Mere attendance in itself is not sufficient. We must co¬ operate to a greater extent. We should ever endeavor to ad¬ vertise every activity as much as possible and in doing so en¬ courage every Alumnus to be present on the different occasions (Continued on Page 2) last Monday and have been work¬ ing out daily at the Pasadena Rose Bowl.
