Attorney Arthur Schaub's address
closed the formal toasts. He spoke
on the general spirit of the Loyola
club. Mr.. Schaub thinks that it is
wise to provide wide range of
amusements for the club members,
and that necessity is the feeling of
proprietorship in each member of
the organization. Every member
must do his share, and each member
I should make it his duty to solicit the
/ membership of other eligible young
people. The spirit of fraternity and
of friendship should prevail. The
spirit of Catholicity should also pre-.
! vail"

this will be very prosperous and
successful year for Loyola club
