So here goes. The students of Mount St. Mary’s College through the efforts of those journalistically inclined published the Mountain Echo in the New Chem Lab each month of the academic year in order to keep students, faculty, and alumni well informed concerning the affairs of the Mount and Mount- men. But no newspaper is complete without a bit of editorial- izing. During the ’51-’52 year the production of approxi- mately 3,000 copies each issue rested in the hands of Jack — Andrews and “Hoot”? Werner, two outstanding members of the class of 1952. Their ability and efforts during their first three years earned them this position. Father Cogan guided them in a manner equal to that of his predecessor, Father Kline. The editors directed a staff supported by other experienced seniors. To those students unfamiliar with the art of publication, a night spent at the Echo office would prove to be enlight- ening and would contribute greatly to their appreciation of the finished product. Between the editorial meeting at which the contents of the coming issue were determined to the mailing of the last paper, it took the combined efforts of the various staffs to bring you the Echo which you leisurely read in the comfort of your room.

Kneeling: T. Beet: J. Smith, J. Biker, H. McPartland, W. Andrews Monogram Club The purpose of the Monogram Club was to promote interest in athletics, to bestow recognition on athletes who were worthy of such recognition, and to create a sense of responsibility towards the honor of wearing a monogram. To each and every student who gained a berth on a varsity athletic squad and was fortunate enough to survive the sea- son was awarded a huge white ‘M,’ many of which could be seen displayed on front of the blue sweaters of our sportsmen. J. Gelish, P. Cosenza, E. Ward, J. Walsh, J. Freeman, J. Denman, T. Kachnowski. Background: F. Tumulty, J. Adams, W. Cavanaugh, L. Dawes, L. Clarke, R. Evers, W. Whittaker, F. Satie V. Gulbin, R. Ferry, C. McCourt, J. Sherman, J. Galvin, E. Egan, P. Sharpe. Slobbovian Humor Society Upon all those students assigned rooms in DuBois Hall fell the dubious honor of being a bona-fide member of the Mount Humor Society, better known as the Slobs. When the members of the sophomore class took up residence in this building in our final year, they took it upon themselves to band together and refresh Mount spirit under the name of the Slobbovian Humor Society, a post-war organization which had lost its initial impetus after rallying Mount enthusiasm to an all-time high. With enough offices, such as “‘Admiral of the Fleet”’ and “Judge of the Criminal Court,’ to allow everyone to be Sophomores of DuBois posing as the Mount Humor Society. 37 more than a peasant, the Slobbovians went full steam ahead with their policy of having fun and raising campus morale. They held a pep rally at the beginning of the basketball season and literally brought the house down with the antics and cheerleading which they also displayed at most of the Mount’s home games. Marked by their official black and blue Slob jackets, the sophomore Slobbovians may be credited with doing their best “to form a more perfect union of the student body, establish jocularity, censure the mystic tranquillity, and promote Mount spirit...” FILIBUSTERS OF FURY: Maurice Gable, Fred Altemus, Jerry Leary, Dick Kelly.
