FLYING CLUB: Waltjen, Szell, Hawkins, McManus, Brown. F lying Club Has Wings Clipped After December 7, the winged activity of the Loyola Flying Club was considerably curtailed by the wartime restriction on flying. However, the Executive Board, comprised of Norm Waltjen, Charles Hawkins, and Joe Brown, have found other aeronautical activities to interest them at Curtiss- Wright airport. All three have turned most of their attention to the instruction of novices in the handling of Piper Cubs, Wacos, Taylorcrafts, and other gol’durn contraptions of the same species. Math Club Finds Ciphers Romantic The program of the Mathematics Club this year was a unique schedule, to say the least. In October, President Walter Siwinski 15

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

The opening lecture on “Mathematics and In- tuition was given by Dr. Arnold Dresden of Swarthmore on Novem- ber 14. A group of student lecturers followed, one of which baffled his audience by the drawing of a regular dodecahedron with protractor and compass. The series was concluded by Dr. Sheraton of American University who talked about “Geometric Stereograms. Chemists Haue Famous Lecturers In the matter of obtaining nationally known guest speakers, the Chemists’ Club has no equal on the campus. In fact it monopolized the field in this respect for many years and its supremacy was un- challenged until the Math Club and the Accounting Academy sprang into existence. But these infant clubs could not hold the pace and this year, as in every year. Father Richard W. Schmidt’s fine organization swept the field with such well-known men as Dr. A. L. Gettler of the 10
