an ae Rev. Peter A. Coad, Moderator. First photograph of the then newly formed Glee Club. Glee Club The Mount St. Mary’s College Glee Club was without doubt one of the most outstanding organizations on campus. The Club was chartered by the Student Council and recognized by the Dean’s office as an integral part of a broad educational program. The singers were off campus as much as on, however, as they made trips near and far in full dress uniform, spreading the name of the Mount. They performed at schools, hospitals, and prisons, and appeared over TV from Baltimore. Combined musicals with St. Joseph College were presented. It is a tribute to our class that the Glee Club had its be- ginnings with a group of the men of ’52 back in the spring of 1949. Our classmates responded to the call of Father Coad, who was instrumental both in the formation of the Glee Club and in securing Father Shaum as director. The choral group was then known as the Freshman Glee Club. The Club was later opened to all four classes and had its name changed, making itself into what all appearances was a permanent pert of the Mount. Fathers Coad and Shaum devoted freely of their time and effort and must share with the students in the laurels. 32

hnights of Columbus Council No. 1965 Mount St. Mary’s Council No. 1965 of the Knights of Columbus was the second oldest college council, being - formed in 1919 through the efforts of Msgr. Bradley, then president of the College. However, our council was unique in that it had a combined membership of college and semi- nary students. The members were most active and successful in the past four years in living up to their boast that they belonged to the greatest Catholic fraternal organization in the world. Thus, they were provided many avenues for personal de- velopment, and the aims of the national order were : fostered. . ) oe The Class of 1952 provided much of the impetus for the Orricers: First row: William Fitzgerald, Gerald Gre en, Grand Knight; above and other functions.
