Much of the success of the Fordham Friars, whose H55 A.D.H outshone all previous Manhattan Division dramatic efforts, was due to the efforts of Daniel Huttenhrauclc, President, Horace Sharrow, Vice-President, and Charles lVlcCahe, Executive Nlemher. Seniors John Hennessey, Francis Walsh, and Francis Clooney were executives of the Loyola Business Cluh. John Conifl was President and John Powers, Secretary, of the Nlulry Council of Dehate. This year the Ricci Science Cluh loecame one of the more important extra-curricular activities with Vincent Baniszewslci in the Presidentys chair and Charles lVlcCahe as Secretary. Timothy Costello, President of the Suarez Circle, did much to further the important aims of that philosophical society. The Sodality of the immaculate Conception, John Hennessey, Pre- lectg Peter Purchia, First Vice-Pretectg John Meehan, Second Vice-Pre- fectg Vincent Baniszewslci, Secretary, John Conill, Treasurer, and Nor- man lVlacDonald, Lilorariang made all its activities alllairs of importance attended hy large and zealous numhers. The Sodality of Uur Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, Edward McCarthy, prefect, Francis Whelan, First Vice-Prelectg William Callahan, Second Vice-Prelect, and Donald Knowles, Secretary, not only increased its membership during 1956-1957, hut in coming to the Annual Communion Breakfast on the Fordham University Campus over one hundred strong, surpassed all previous at- tendance records. Since it is the most influential of non-spiritual school organizations, the Student Council is deserving of special praise. With Seniors Horace Sharrow as President and John Conifl as Vice-President, it was guided to great heights. It made the Manhattan Division of Fordham College and School ol Business Administration a more important factor within the Uni- versity and a more widely lcnown one in the outer world. By its many tra- ditional activities, especially the great lnterclass Dinner at Keating Hall, as well as its innovations, principal among which was the lnterclass Social, it gained much credit for itself as an organization, and hrought honor to its student directors and its moderator. Vvith the completion of this Senior year our last hreath as part of Fordham life has expired. Has our college career heen worthwhile? Have we developed in accordance with the plans which we drew four years ago? If in the years to come we maintain the moral and intellectual principles which have heen emhossed upon our characters hy our Fordham training, .the answer now and forever will he a confident affirmative.

Septemloer 1955 presented a discouraging economic picture. Nevertheless, the mem- bers ol the present senior class, realizing their laclc of full loaclcground, turned to Fordham to help them lauild it. That they were serious oi pur- pose was shown lay that which they proposed to accomplish. Freshman Year was a period of trial. Vvere all of us ready for colle- giate studies and were all of us fitted to devote a four year period in the Y most important stage of our material lite to education? Freshman Year showed us that attendance at Fordham meant full college life with Soda- lity, delnating cluhs, dramatics and other student activities outside the class- room. Long lmelore the close of the year we were convinced of the wisdom of our choice, of the value of a Jesuit educational institution. The loeginning of Sophomore Year meant the renewal of friendships among ourselves and with our studies. Gone was the timidity of Freshmen, increased was the will to further study. ll we were guilty of Sophomorismf that attitude of intellectual pride, it was soon driven from our minds. Ethics and Government courses proposed novel and difficult prohlems and our minds were loroadened in their solution. Our interests outside of class were shown in the continued and greater success of extra-curricular activities. The last ialf ot our years as Fordham men was begun in Junior. Though our class was halved lay the exodus to the Law School, increased fellowship and cooperation compensated for the laclc of numlmers. Chem- istry lorought with it the trips uptown and unveiled the mysteries of the Periodic System. Philosophy emphasized the lallaciousness of the Onto- logical Argument. American Literature lorought with it a personality not easily to he forgotten. Specialization divided us into prospective educators and political scientists. The training of this penultimate year helped us to grasp the power of not too distant maturity. June 1957 is upon us. The last year of Fordham life has closed. ln this, our Senior Year, besides attaining full intellectual growth, We have been the leading force behind school activities. Paul Kingston and Vin- cent Baniszewslci were President and Secretary-Lilorarian respectively of 1' F M' 'A Q.. 20 .ii 'ui.
