Interracial Club Quest speaker. Those of us who were Evening Session stu- dents partook of an entirely different tradition in social activities-punch-substituting for the traditional Nedick's Orange Drink at all our functions. This distinctive feature of Eve- ning Session socials was a living exhibition of the philosophic principle of the analogy of be- ing. Succumbing to the preferences of its various authors, each edition of punch was distinctively different from all past and future batches and yet exhibited certain basic features common to all. This common element derived from the fundamental ingredients of all re- cipes, grapefruit juice and gingerale. Those of us who stayed after ten on Wednesdays, attracted by the coffee and cake the Interracial Club offered at its meetings were rewarded with benefits far in excess of our original anticipations in joining the organ- ization. Dedicated to the Christlike devotion of seeking social justice in interracial affairs, the club succeeded in making Chrstians of many of the bigots in the School. ln it, many of us were first convinced of the urgency of the problem of interracial justice and through it we made our small contribution to the ad- vance of justice and charity in the world. The object of the club is twofold-self- education in the problem of social justice for the minorities and practical aid in its solution. ln our forums, discussions and lecture series we learned the various subtle ramifications of this great contemporary problem and convinced ourselves of its pertinence in our lives. By our educational programs, charity drives, and the help and cooperation we offered together agencies in the field, we attempted to educate other students in the school and provide service to our fellow members in the Mystical Body of Christ. ln our third year, largely through the efforts of Mr. Sullivan, a Morning Session group was organized within the structure of the previously existing Philosophy Club and in Senior year it became a separate entity. It would be difficult to treat of the aims and activities of this truly Catholic endeavor without speaking of the leading spirit in its activities. Mr. Sullivan, its moderator, has for many years devoted much of his effort to this problem and it is through his personal interest and the interest he developed in his students that the club has enjoyed its great success. interracial Club. Columbus Day saw us sailing up the river to Bear Mountain for a repeat performance of our freshman outing. ln this we did exactly what we had done the year before. Section B aided and abetted by expatriots from other sections one again defeated section C in a free-scoring Softball Game. The girls once again romped through a contest to the amuse- ment of the bystanders. We went boating, Morris Dancing and explored the Nature Trail as before and once again Lois Johnson fell off her horse to round out a perfect day.

Arithmetical curiosities, the history of man in his quest for mathematical explanation of reality and the interrelation of this study with the other physical sciences vie with the study of problems outside the realm of classroom investigation for the attention of the Math majors and their mentor Mr. Andrew Kirby at the club meetings. During our Sophomore year, we figured largely in the organization of a new and entire- ly different extracurricular activity, the Bas- ketball Team. This- only outlet for the athletic enthusiasms of the male members of the School of Ed. was founded largely through the joint efforts of George Zimmerman '50 and Mr. Ralph Lane. With Zimmerman acting as manager and the ever-cooperative Mr. Lane as moderator, the organization soon attracted a great deal of interest among classmates and two ,Sopho- mores, Harry English and Wally Yanett were chosen to co-captain the team through its ini- tial season of competition. Along with Joe Pessarelli, Jim Ryan, John Belson and other Sophomores, the School of Ed. Rams enjoyed a very successful opening season of competition with teams from the Senior C. Y. O. leagues and Junior Colleges. Though losing quite a few games to the city's best C. Y. O. teams in their second year, the spirit that resulted in the fielding of a team of any sort was a success in itself and promised better teams in the future. The team owes its very existence to the enthusiastic cooperation and help of Mr. Ralph Lane, its moderator, who, in every possible way has shown his interest and willingness to help this newcomer to the School of Ed's activities program. Mr. Lane enjoyed a very personal triumph this year when he succeeded in ob- taining the Campus Gym for his stalwarts to use for eight Sundays.
