,Conununion Breakfast The Voice of America my N f Wfmtftfw On Palm Sunday, April l4, the annual Communion Break- fast was held in the Mural Room of Keating Hall following the Mass in the University Church, celebrated by the Reverend James J. McGinley, S.J., Dean of the School of Business. Although attended principally by the students and staff of the School of Business, many alumni were present to com- pliment the large turnout for this Lenten Breakfast. The principal speaker for the occasion was the Reverend Thurston N. Davis, S.J., editor of America and prominent speaker on current religious and moral problems. The topic of his talk was Censorship and Martin Luther. Father Davis' first hand treatment of this provocative subject proved to be both interesting and informative, All those in at- tendance benefited from his straightforward presentation and enlightenment. The Chairman of this year's Breakfast was Mr. Eugene P. Spadaccini. Gene expressed his thanks and appreciation for the aid given him by his Assistant Chairman Raymond J. Meany, Sales Chairman Leonard E. Bielski and Financial Chair- man John W. Kelly. ln the spirit of the day and the Holy Season of Lent many attended the matinee performance of O My People after the Breakfast. The activity of the day proved to be both spirit- ually successful and socially enjoyable. ' Distinguished Alumni. i A A ,. - A 'zoe f J

A.B.K. keys are awarded to . . . Among the memories firmly lodged in our minds will be the one of December l, i956 when the Twenti- eth Annual lnterclass Dinner was held. l-low well it lived up to the theme of One Enchanted Evening became obvious as the night progressed. Everyone wanted to come, but there just were not enough tickets. Those of us fortunate enough to attend the affair at the Brass Rail saw a capacity crowd 'of faculty and students mingling socially. We were particularly honored by the attendance of so many of the administration, especially Very Rev. Laurence J. McGinley, S.J., President of the Universi- ity, and Rev. James J. McGinley, S.J., Dean of the School of Business. , The awards were many, taking up the major por- tion ofthe program. After Gold Medals for scholastic achievement had been presented, the Dean's List read, and the Alpha Beta Kappa keys awarded to Seniors for outstanding participation in extra-curricular activ- ities, the students who had won Industrial and Com- Interclass petitive scholarships were introduced. The address by Charles A. Patterson, Chairman of the New York City Transit Authority proved keenly interesting as he dis- cussed our underground railway system and how it personally effects us. An added feature was a brief talk by Vincent McKeon '52, President of the Busi- ness School, Alumni, encouraging everyone to become active in the organization after graduation. The icing on the cake came with the presentation of The Real Tales of the South Pacific. The audi- ence thrilled to Patrick Dunleavy as Emil de Becque and Marty Barrett as Lt. Joe Cable singing the incom- parable love songs to Patricia McGovern as Ensign Nellie Eorbush and Lorain Meola as Liat. With the chorus composed of City Hall students, and mostly Seniors, they helped to make the dinner unforgettable. Our thanks goes to this group, and to Dick Mc- Keon and Roager Musetti, Co-Chairmen of this highly successful event, for the wonderful job they did. The new look. 208 Well done, R.A.M.
