Its main purpose is to promote interest and discussion concerning current affairs. The monthly meet- ings of the Club are primarily devoted to these discussions. This year, club members were fortunate to have been addressed by Carmen Pillai, a stu- dent at Georgian Court, and a native of Hong Kong, China, who spoke on the customs and geography of Hong Kong as well as on the con- dition of the city during the war. At another meeting Dr. Erich Juhn, lecturer in foreign languages at Georgian Court, related interesting personal incidents which he experienced during the war years abroad. Also on the agenda was a panel discussion concerning the Problem of Displaced Persons.

Science Club THE Science Club was founded for the purpose of enabling science students to discuss topics of popular and practical importance. Under the guidance and helpful supervision of Sister Mary Grace, its moderator, the Club has fur- thered interest in the fields of Biology, Chem- istry, and Physics here at the Court. The first activity of the year was a trip to Squibb's Laboratories in New Brunswick, where tl1e members were taken on an extensive tour of tl1e plant. They saw streptomyacin and peni- cillin, prepared commercially. They also wit- nessed the assaying of Intercostin by the use of rabbits. In order to raise funds for student relief, the Science Club sponsored a program on Pasteur. At this time, Iris Margarida with the aid of slides, related the life history and important discoveries of this famous scientist. After the discussion a roast turkey was raffled off, proving that the Science Club has its lighter side. Next in the line of events was an interesting talk on the life of George Washington Carver by Trudy Hayes. In the spring, the members were privileged to view an operation at Mount St. Vincent's Hospital in New York. Maria Victoria Balbas, President, with the help of her assistants Eleanor Odgen, Vice Pres- ident, Matilda DiStefano, Secretary, and Helen Pappas, Treasurer, brought the activities of the club to a close with a party in the latter part of May. 4
