Y w'gemzt-at-Arm: Celebrating with a banquet held at the beginning of the 1935-1956 school year, the Architectural Society of Catholic University opened its twenty-fifth year of exist- ence on the campus. This year has been one of particular activity for the organization. Besides con- tributing the regular design projects to the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design in New York City, the Architectural students prepared the United States portion of the world- wide exhibition of the Catholic Press to be held in the Vatican City during the summer of 1936. By this commission the school is especially honoured because in nearly every other country in the world the work has been entrusted to registered architects only. The Alumni of the Society sponsored two dances in the past year both of which were welcomed by the undergraduates and proved to be most enjoyable anairs. Fin!

SCANLAND ........................... Treamrer FRANCIS P. GILLIAM, JR. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Serretary The Student Branch of the A. S. M. E. is formed from members of the upper classes in the Mechanical Engineering Department. Its activities are confined to monthly meetings at which either students or professional men discuss current topics of interest. The members of the society have the opportunity of meeting engineers in the fields of their interest, and through them have the chance to establish contact which is of value to the young engineer. In the spring of the year, sectional meetings are held at colleges throughout the country. At these meetings representatives from about fourteen or fifteen colleges deliver papers on engineering subjects and compete for prizes. This meeting climaxes the activities of the student society for the year.

Shahan Debating Society REV. MAURICE OLEARY, O.P. ......................Direct0r- JOSEPH SPITZIG ..................................Pre;z'dent JACKTHRALLS ............................PublicityManager JOSEPH ANGERS ..................................Secretary This year the University's arguers, directed by Rev. Maurice O'Leary, OR, at- tempted an innovation. Besides its usual intercollegiate activity, the Shahan Debating Society inaugurated a plan whereby young and inexperienced speakers were afforded an opportunity of speaking before an audience, by conducting round-table discussions of the topics of current interest. This plan furnished an opportunity for self-expression and supplied many clever arguments which were later used in varsity debates. The suc- cess of this dual plan of activity was evidenced by a greatly increased interest and attendance in meetings of the society as well as in intercollegiate contests. The traditional schedule, Loyola, Dayton, Manhattan, West Virginia, besides many notable new opponents, such as Yale, Emory and Henry, and Upsala furnished the opportunity whereby the Shahan intercollegiate pleaders maintained the high standard of accomplishment set by the Catholic U. Teams in the past. ll2
