Warfare Entices History Academy The John Gilmary Shea History Academy originally picked the Civil War as its topic for the year’s research, with the intention of concentrating on the role of Maryland as a “border” state which was torn emotionally and economically between the two sides. Once more, in imagination at least, Massachusetts troopers were mobbed on Pratt St., once more the armies of Lee and McClellan collided in bloody combat at Antietam. But, after December 7, the topic of the year shifted from the war between the states to war in general, and soon the hoofbeats of Jeb Stuart’s Maryland Confederate Cavalry chal- lenged the guns of Jutland for acoustical supremacy of the Library Building. And as the Russian horde fought the panzer divisions to a stand- still, the philosophy of assault of Bedford Forrest (“git thar fustust with the mostest men”) was seen to live again. Happy surprise for the Academy was the discovery of Rev. Thomas P. Ward as a spe- cialist on naval history. HISTORY ACADEMY: Sitting — Putterman, Croghan, Father Ward (Moderator), Crook, Jr. (President), Price, McManus. Standing — Baggs, Molz, Connolly, Waters, O’Conor, Pugh, Siwinski, Lawrence. 13

Under the stimulus of the war and considerations which war brings to the field of international affairs, the International Relations Club became one of the largest and most active clubs at Loyola. Meet- ings, held on alternate Tuesday afternoons in the large map-posted classroom, 101, in the Library Building, were studious, serious, but informal. Particular aspects of the sections of the world under dis- cussion were developed in prepared papers but extemporaneous opinions expressed from the floor were never lacking. Off tl ie campus, President James R. Crook and Secretary William W aters gained wide recognition. The former twice delivered speeches before national conventions, the first at the Carnegie Foundation Convention at Lehigh, the next at the I.R.C. Convention at New Rochelle. Mr. Waters was elected vice-president of the I.R.C. of Catholic Colleges in the Capital area. 12

Dramatics Society Success is Miracle” Outstanding achievement of the Masque and Rapier Dramatics Society this year was a whimsical little job entitled “Father Malachy’s Miracle, which was presented at the Maryland Casualty Audi- torium on April 15. Master of miracles in the title role was James K. McManus. Backing him was a heavy supporting cast of clerics, which included George W. McManus, Frederick L. Dewberry, Joseph Smith, and Larrv Knox. Among the non-professionals of the cast were a Brooklyn promoter (Barney Goldberg), a tavern keeper (Donald Schmidt), a floor show manager (Bill Waters), a bartender (Bill Goodwin) and a Bishop’s brother (Harold Molz). Smaller tri- umph of the year was at Loyola Nite when “In the Zone and “The Wedding” won the plaudits of the crowd assembled. DRAMATICS: Sitting — Molz, Mackey, G. McManus, Smith, Mr. Lawton (Moderator), J. McManus (President), Hemelt, Muth. Stand- ing — Miller, T. Siwinski, Arthur, Waters, Galvin, Schmidt, Chart- rand, W. Siwinski. 14
