The accent was placed upon an increased aware- ness of activity in the field and an all-round compre- We're not always serious-? iw: -I-4'-1-Iftlafir -25515 , .fliftd ' hensive understanding of it as an essential part of a business student's educational background. Dr. Joseph Moriarty, the Society's Moderator, has been a constant source of guidance and help in the formation, supervision, and development of the club. l-le was aided by Erich Augustin, President, Ted Rein- hard, Vice President, Mary Kay McAllister, Secretary, and Lorraine Curtain, Treasurer. lt is our sincere hope that the Barrett Literary Society will continue to flourish and expand as an in- trinsic part of the Fordham extra-curricular tradition.
