EVENING STUDENT ORGANIZATION The purpose of the Evening Student Organization of the School of Education is two-fold. The group acts as a medium for cooperation between the Morn- ing and Evening session and serves as the coordinat- ing body of all Evening student activities. An executive meeting of the new officers together with Mr. Leo Kearney, Moderator, was held on October 1, 1947. The ofiicers of the year were as follows: President, john Lundyg Vice-President, Doris De Gall, Secretary, Margaret Sniderog Treasurer, Frances Cassey. Early meetings were concerned with promoting a membership drive and compiling an activity calendar for the year. Olive Newton, President of the Student Council, and john Kearny reported to the Evening Students in regard to the Student Council's work for the year. Olive asked the group to nominate two alternates to the Council. Elections were held on November 24, resulting in two new alternates: Lee Painton and Arthur Berger. LEO I. KEARNEY Moderator Following this was the Christmas Party at which contributions were made for Friendship I-louse. On january 5, the finished constitution was accepted with the approval of Father Hooper. Plans were made for the Annual Communion Breakfast to be held in February.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council of, the School of Education serves to coordinate student interests, and to provide a channel for the How of suggestions from the student body to the faculty. Through this past year under the tutelage of Miss Kathryn I. Scanlon, Moderator, Olive Newton, President, Walter Hassett, Vice-President, and Betty Ferrigan, Secretary, it has functioned effectively toward the attainment of many noteworthy accomplishments. Reviewing the busy 1947-48 semesters, we observe a host of matters having engaged the Council's attention. At the outset the Council approved a full and varied social calendar for the school year. Student problems, relevant to improved spacing of midterm examinations, and requests for courses, were presented to the faculty by a committee of three, consisting of Walter Hassett, KATHRYN SCANI-ON Elinor Andreoli, and George Cobb. M,,,ye,,,,,,,t Consideration was given to the proposal that the School of Education be affiliated with the National Student Association, although final decision was not reached on this matter. Ed Cook and Harry Barletta were appointed interim representatives to the Asso- ciation. As a result of a poll taken from the entire student , body, the Annual All School Affair, sponsored by the Student Council took the form of a musical revue and dance and was held in the Campus Gymnasium. The affair was dedicated to Dean Francis M. Crowley, to honor him during his tenth anniversary at 'Ford- ham. 60

The publication of a Yearbook demands much ingenuity, patience and cooperation on the part of those who hold responsible positions on its Staff. The 1948 Grail Staff has not been lacking in any of the above qualities, and it is the wish of the Editor that this page be devoted to the recognition of those who have contributed to mak- ing this book an actuality. We started working together as a Staff back in November with the selection and approval of Morning and Evening Session Associate Editors. Mr. Frank P. Jay was appointed Moderator and we immediately started interviewing printers and photographers. We soon had selected Delma Stu- dios to do the photography work, and the Robert W. Kelly Publishing Co. as our printer and en- graver. While Seniors were making appointments for pictures with june Callow, Walter House was busily mimeographing subscription blanks, pledge and booster slips. With Father Barnett's permis- sion we went on an active selling campaign and made our headquarters at a booth in the lobby. It was over a bottomless cup of the BfG's coffee that we decided to conduct a raille and within four days Ann Rossi and Walter House had made and distributed the chance books, Connie FRANK P.
