The Glee Club started on their usual tive-stop circuit of Christmas concerts and ended up by demonstrating their remark- able talent to the School at the Dean's Christ- mas Party. All the while they were putting the finishing touches on their Catholic Hour reper- toire. The Sophomores began plaguing us with tickets to their rendition ot the Snowball and we entered upon all the traditional activities of Christmas at 302.

Several of the vets took their old Army uni- forms out of retirement as arrangements called for an inside job. Escape routes, alternate strategies, an intricate signallng system and a carfully arranged time table were worked out., A daring daylight raid had been planned. Pre- liminary connections with the larger metro- politan dailies and the various wire services had been established for eventual publicity pur- poses. Everything was in readiness. But no truck of sufficient size to transport the animal had been found and Moriarty's Marauders were doomed to disappointment. Those of us who shivered in the cold rain of Michie Stadium or sat in the warmth of televi- sion-blessed living rooms will not forget the first half of the Army game no matter how hard we try to forget the second. Beaten in the game the Rams nevertheless gained a moral victory, twenty-six teeth to seven. Fordham lost two more games that season before N. Y. U. finally came through and gracefully suc- cumbed in their traditional fashion. lt was during this time that we witnessed the coming of two new organizations to the School of Ed's activities program. November eighteenth marked the birth of the Fordham University Friends of Music. The fondest hopes of Mr. Walter J. Reeve were realized when, under the leadership of Joe Pessarelli, the club experienced an extra-ordinarily vigorous first year's growth. Prime movers in the new or- ganization were Maryalis Hornberger, colora- tura soprano, Pasquale Amato, our favorite violinist, Jeanne Peters, who composed a piano concerto, the Reeve String Quartette, composed of Mr. Reeve and three of his sons, which per- formed admirably and enjoyably for the group, and Ann Johnson and Anne Brady, listeners. Junior year was the year of the great Pinochle-Bridge feud. The old-line Pinochle traditionalists found their places at the card tables in the lounge being usurped by the lately arrived Bridge addicts. Jacob Weisberg, a lead- ing spirit in the Bridge movement succeeded on November twenty-second, in organizing a bridge club for his followers. With no focal point for organization, the pinochle devotees rapidly lost interest so that today there is only one perpetual pinochle game in the lounge while there are at least a dozen floating bridge contests always to be seen. The Interracial Club closed the month play- ing host to the Catholic Interracial Council of New York in the first of a series of monthly Communion Breakfasts held in the Lounge. The Student Council opened the valves of the first Blood Bank Drive and the members of the Science Club heard Jim Travis cover the field of Physics in his treatise at their meeting of the twenty-seventh. Carrying out its theme of The Christian in Action , the Sodality devoted its November activities to the foreign missions. The tradi- tional N. Y. U. ticket raffle and the Mite Box drive served as a means of material support to this worthy endeavor while in their meetings the Sodalists gave spiritual aid in the form of prayers and made an extensive study of Mis- sionary Activities of American Catholics. Cul- minating the activities was a lecture by the Rev. Matthew Fullam, S.J. who described his experi- ences in the Philippine Missions, the work of the Jesuit Philippine Bureau and the results that could be accomplished if more Catholics were more aware of their great responsibilities outlined in the exhortation to Teach all nations. Toward the end of the month we started rooting for Anne Brady, our candidate on the now traditional Snow Ball. In following in our footsteps the class of '52 had greatly elaborated our meager accomplishments and were involved with such big name personalities as Jimmy Durante, John Robert Powers and Wendy Barry in the promotion of their affair. .

w's the air up there? Fill 'cm up again. The Social Service Club met their goal of helping forty-three needy families of the Nativ- ity Parish in their second Christmas Drive and during the Christmas Party we watched the Thalians produce the third in their series of five one-act plays. The Freshmen had set up the Christmas tree and the Christmas cards had been distributed. Earlier in the month we had gone through the Italian Club's Christmas Party featuring Sal Miraliotta, George Sanger and Wanda Colangelo in Le Consegne Dell' Anno Nuovo , a traditional Italian Christmas play. George Sanger's interpretation of the white bearded Father Time will not soon be forgotten. During the last day of school our attention fluctuated between the E. S. O. Christmas Jol- lity Dance featuring Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and the Curved Horn Christmas Party featuring Marc Ratner as Left'nant Fifzfifz on the trail of the mad Mahdi of Ormdurman. On December twenty-eigth many of us assem- bled at the Gym to witness the crowning of Ann Hogan as the Snow Queen ll at the Sopho- more Snow Ball. A good time was had by allf End terms made January a lost month for most of the school. However, the Freshmen livened it up a bit with their first social and during that time, we watched the replacement of the old heavy cumbersome wooden doors with new heavy cumbersome bronze doors at the Broadway entrance to the School of Ed. The Duane Street doors continued on in their brown-painted shabby respectability. The Gannon Council's activities continued uninterrupted in January with debates wth Brooklyn College, Hofstra and N. Y. U. For the Glee Club, January was a month of tri- umph. On each of the five Sundays of that month the Glee Club appeared on the Catho- lic Hour broadcast and challenged Msgr. Fulton J. Sheen for top billing. Singing to the millions of Catholic Hour listeners from coast-to-coast, they enhanced their own repu- tation as well as that of the school. As a result of their NBC stint, they received requests from CBS, WJZ and WNYC to appear on addi- tional radio programs. Only CBS was accepted. Flitting wraithlike through the august halls of Radio City in our maroon gowns, we suc- ceeded in cultivating a new respect for the technical intricacies of Radio and impressed Keep your finger out of my cye. Now where were we? Turnabout is fair play. the occupants of the studio 6D control room with our professional polish. ln the process, we developed a hearty respect for Joe Daly's fund of musical knowledge. Early February was studded with lounge socials as everyone in the school strove to get in under the Lenten deadline. February third saw the '50 Grail make some money for a change on their Grail Carnival. The Italian Club sponsored an Italian Hopalong Barn- Hop on the tenth, complete with jelly apples for the benefit of the Italian war orphans, on the seventeenth the Basketball team sponsored their fun-raising Basketball The E. S. O. wound up the social spurt with their annual Cherry Festival on the twenty first.
