Mums were exchanged for orchids and gardenias, stadium togs for more sedate evening apparel, and all were off to a splendid Hoya celebration. I ' our huni lred couples danced and swayed to the music of Jack Morton and his orchestra in the two spacious ballrooms, and the gaiety and color of the crowd lent itself to the many unofficial grand marches of pretty girls and their escorts under the flattering red and blue lights that were played from the ceiling.

o .CTOBER found the Hoya ' s har- ried editorial board in an inner sanctum get-together. Father Gal- lagher, S.J., moderator of the paper for the previous year, introduced the new moderator, Mr. William Troy, S.J., and outlined a plan for the ensuing year. From the start, the Hova was beset with post-war problems. Patience, hard work and cooperation won a ictory. To Mr. Troy, S.J., for his encouraging sup- port and outstanding leadership, to Pete Mul- len, for his industry and determination, and to such men as Joe Moone ' and Gordon R an, for their generous and unselfish zeal, readers of the HoYA owe a deep debt of gratitude.

CBcorgctottin College Journal IN this, its se enty-fifth year, the Journal doffecl its staid classical format and donned a more modern one. Although the Journal functioned during the war, its output from a handful of students was necessarily meager. This ' ear witnessed an influ.x of short story writers, poets, artists, and book critics. The tone attained by the new staff was elevating. The editions were popular and thoroughh ' read throughout the campus. Under the moderatorship of Re ' . Gerald F. ' ates, its Editor-in Chief, Paschal La Padu- la, and Managing Editor, Thomas P. O ' Keefe, the Journal has taken on new life and com- pares favorably with any college publication of its type. William Keenan wrote several fine sociological character studies and contributed a provocative article on Catholic Youth par- ticipation in international relations. George Edelen contributed some notable mood and satirical stories, while Thomas Collins was par- tial to melancholy impressionism in his poetry. The Heroic Image by Robert Hanlon voiced a plea for a new romantic movement and offered a one-act play, the publication of which was an innovation for the Journal. Music critics were introduced in the persons of John Austin Nammack and V. William Shedleski; several talented illustrators, notably Wade Ray, Jack Lee and Bernard Roth, enlivened the stories and injected a spot of collegiate humor, while Mr. Ray ' s artistry embellished many of the covers. Business was efficiently shouldered by John Bachman, Carl Eisenman and Edward Beacom. 96
