O'Mai1ia. Business Club The O'Mailia Business Club, for many years, has been a source of information on current business topics. Members are addressed at the bi- weekly meetings by leaders in commerce and industry who answer questions and discuss matters of interest to students. Guest speakers are usually former Fordham students who 'have made their mark in the business world. Often, movies are shown and demonstrations given in order to keep the student abreast of current events, and at least once a year, a field trip to some large company is held. 1 Among the guest speakers this year was Mr. John Sheridan, Director of the General Accounting Department at American Machine and Foundry Corporation, who spoke on the mergers-and subsequent growth of his company over the past ten years. The Club was also honored by the appearance, as speaker, of Benedict T. Harter, Controller for American Cable and Radio Corporation. Mr. Harter, who is chairman of the Board of Governors of the School of Business Alumni Association, spoke on the Fordham reputation in the business world and the benefits to be reaped by Fordham graduates, based on that reputation. As is the custom, both speakers lectured for thirty minutes and held a fifteen minute question and answer period. 'SW ll .nr- 'T' JJ Front Row: P. Everich, D. Berry J. McDermott, A. Herold, J.

A Loyola meeting. The Loyola Business Club had a very successful and active year under the direction of Robert L. Koerner, the club moderator. The primary purpose of the organization is to acquaint students with the career opportunities in the various fields of industry and business. To accomplish this end, guest speakers were invited to address the group. Such companies as the Advertising Federation of America, Burroughs, l.B.M., J. C. Penny, Westinghouse and a host of others, were represented by speakers who addressed the group. Besides those mentioned, many corporations, trade associations, and employment agencies also sent most Business Club A Christ Drakopoulos President informative representatives to address the members of the club. During the second semester we incorporated a program of specific interest and value to the Freshman class, in order to give them an understanding of the major studies offered at Fordham. The chairman of the respective school departments were contracted and asked to address the freshmen on the particular values of and requirements for the field of study they represented. This year's program not only made the meeting more interesting, but proved beneficial to the members who will someday take their place in world of commerce. Front Row: H. Meschi, J.
