Burdett Men’s Club a Back from Europe and the Pacific with battle fatigue or whittled down by malaria, our G.I.’s are coming back home and into our schools and colleges. Such is the case at Burdett. The need for a plan to help the boys feel easy in their new environment was realized. This brought about the birth of the Burdett Men’s Club in January. The organization wel- comes all male students into the club. In this way, the problems of getting acquainted and recreation, were solved. Although the club has not been in existence long, it has sponsored the school paper ““The Accountant” and has held various social activities. Among one of the speakers who addressed the club was Mr. Healey, Employment Manager of the Boston Consolidated Gas Company, whose subject was “Business Management’. The officers are: President, Frank Spano; Secretary, Walter Oat; Treasurer, Manuel Freitas; and Faculty Advisor, Mr. Kingsmill. 43
