Just two words ...

Yes, I have heard about two words; and now and then three words-but "They Sat­isfy" means"To gratify fully. "

Why do these two words " they sat isfy " fit Chester­fields? Because Chesterfield Cigarettes are milder. Be­cause Chesterfield Cigarettes taste better.

Chesterfield's way of blend­ing and cross-blending fine Turkish and D omestic tobac­cos brings out better flavor and aroma.

Reverend Daniel O'Connor, former Treasurer of St. Viator College and now at Spring!ield, was among the guests at the Graduation Banquet, and Commencement Exercises.

His class was the fi rst to recog­nize his ability as an organizer , and he held the position of secr etary with them during his Sophomore, Junior , and Senior years.

To his laurals as an thlete and a leader Ed added another , his adept­ness in the field of dramatics. H e has played a leading part in coUege produd ions of the last four years, which include the plays, The Two Shephards, Marco's Millions, and tbe light opera The Mikado.

For his wo rk in the field of dra­matics, Ed deserves a world of praise and encouragement to his ever to­creasing abi lity.

The final word of a ll his fr iends and classmates is that he ever keeps in life the high ideals he exemplified as a Son of Viator.

EVANGELJl'o'E LEGRI S Memorial Day Poem 4

11.iss Legris has lent her suppor t to a ll s tudent organizations. She has been a very devoted worker for the advancement of t he interests of the student body, particularly the Social Sorority. H er a bility as a studen t, especially in the fi eld of philosophy, is unquestioned. She is a real schol­ar, one who has worked assiruous ly and thoroughly.

Possessed of a vivid personality Miss Legris has become one of the mos t prominent figures in student life. Her perfect parisian accent, derived from forbear ers to ' whom their native tongue was sacred even in a fo reign land, has led her to adopt F rench as her most appreci­ated subject, altbough English was her major .

Miss Legris intends to teach next year. Everyone wishes her good luck.

Mr. Hoover' s accomplishments s peak for themselve and for him. H e has been a true leader of s tu­dent opinion. His conduct in the College Club Elections of this yea.r proved him to be ~ real parliamentar­ian. His record as a debater, as one tu be feared by all opponents, has bee n exceptiona.ily brilliant.

The Engllsh essayist, John Ruskin, r ea.Jized that a s tudy of the beautiful leads men closer to God and nature. And today we need a re turn of the splr! t of Ruskin to guide us towards a true appreciation of the beautiful.

Beauty Is nothing more than God's reflection in nature, and our needs must uphold the beautiful to under · stand the other two e ternal princi­pl es. Ther e can be beauty In every act man performs, but th ere can like­wise be ugliness If he does not ap­ply the proper co-ordJnaUon .

The r e will be a baseball game In the afternoon , but as yet, the teams have not been picked. But we may say with assu rance that lhe gam e will be one w ell worth watching as they always have been in past year s at these celebrations. For those who would prefe r themselves, to indulge, the re will be t ennis , handball, or swi mming. And there is no be tte r pool to be found- non e so cool and refreshlng~as that of S t. Viator' s, at the gymnasium . As ide from a ll these, there wUl be the midway whi ch wi ll offe r games and entertainment of all kinds.

The evening will hold jus t as much exci t emen t and enjoym en t. The r e will be dancing in the Gymnasium, with a popular orches tra providin g th e music. There will also be a monster demonstration of fireworks which shou ld appeal to the old as well as the youn g.

There's a day that is r eally ClUed with entertainment, and s urely, you can't afford to miss it. So, le t's all m eet at St. Viators on the Fourth for one big day that'll be f illed with fun.
