One Week acting as N.C.O.'s for the Freshman and Sophomore units, the second and third weeks as part of the Iunior Com- pany, and the fourth Week having rifle marksmanship practice in Collins basement. The most interesting and practical phase of the R.O.T.C. course was the six weeks of basic training undertaken during the summer of their junior year. Fort Bragg, North Carolina, was the site of this year's training, Where the men received training in Infantry, Armor, and Artillery maneuvers.

The interest in Writing and the literary field on the part of several of the students was stimulated by the suggestion of Dr. Joseph Moriarty that some medium be established through which they might express themselves and secure direct infor- mation on the field in general and this suggestion has resulted in our present activity. We were very proud to dedicate our society to -the late Bev. Alfred J. Barrett, S.J., who was associated with the School of Business for several years. A poet ,and playwright, Father Bar- rett Was to have been our first guest speaker. The main aims of the Literary Society are to provide an op- portunity for student to discuss their' own literary efforts and the production of others and to keep informed on the needs of ex- pression and communication in the World of commerce. During the year several guest speakers have addressed us and informal discussions of contemporary Writers rounded out our activities. We Wish to express our Warm thanks to our officers, James Slear, Presidentg Donald Fairbanks, Vice Presidentg Carol Kissel- bach, Secretaryg Stacy Kotsopulos, Treasurer, for their helpful efforts. Dr. Joseph Moriarty, our Moderator, was a guiding in- fluence in directing our Society and We are sincerely grateful to him. 236
