International Relations Club The International Relations Club, which had been rela- tively inactive in preceding years, was rejuvenated by members of the Class of 1952 during their senior year. James R. Ridenour, who was later elected president of the organization, led in this reactivation work. The Club had the laudable purpose of presenting a bet- ter understanding of international affairs to the members of the Mount student body who had an interest in such | problems. The Club conducted its own panel discussions, held joint meetings with the St. Joseph College branch of the organization, and attended conferences in common with other I.R.C. clubs of various colleges in this region. A special feature during the past school year was the presentation of guest speakers at club meetings, including Dr. John Morrison and Dr. Edward I. Fenlon of the Mount faculty and Dr. Annabelle M. Melville of the St. Orricers: Standing: Dominic Britti, treasurer; Charles Swett, vice-prest- Joseph College faculty. dent; C. Ethelbert Abell, secretary.

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.

Athletic Association No one can deny the Class of 52 the distinction of hav- ing provided the leaders that made the Athletic Associa- tion’s program for 1951-52 the most successful in the history of the school. The gap caused by the loss of varsity football was immediately filled by a new, yet well organ- ized intramural program. If Echo field was not crowded with gridiron or softball enthusiasts, both the new Me- morial Gym and old Flynn Hall resounded to the hoops- ter’s balls. No one could complain that he did not have an outlet for his spare-time energy, whether he was a weight-lifter or excelled at tiddley-winks. In addition to the perennial basketball and diamond leagues, there were organized badminton, handball, and pool tournaments. Besides keeping down the waist lines of the non-varsity competitors, the A.A. also managed to sponsor a few social affairs, including a dance. President Bill Cavanaugh and his right-hand man Ed Ward had learned their business well as underclassmen, working for other good A.A. prexies. With the guidance of coaches Bill Clarke and Frank Apichella and the coop- eration of underclassmen such as Hoot Evers and George Downs, our two boys directed the entire program, made everybody happy, and provided everything from trophies to league winners to new flags on the golf course markers. Few will ever forget the many good times on the field or on the floor. This organization is the best example of student initiative putting to good use the facilities provided by the “big wheels.” Seated: R. Evers, E. Ward, W. Cavanaugh, president; T. Brown. Standing: J.
