BELLARM INE DEBATING SOCIETY: Sitting— Kalten- bach, Crook, Thaler (Presi- dent), Zacharski, Barrett. Standing — Fitzpatrick, Baker, Helfrich. Debaters a Success On the Whole At its annual prize debate, the Bellarmine Society bade farewell to its moderator for the past three years and to three veteran debaters, President Tim Thaler, Secretary Caz Zacharski, and Ed Kaltenbach. During the course of the season, the society came to grips with such formidable opponents as Swarthmore, St. Peter ' s, Princeton, North Carolina, Johns Hopkins, St. John ' s of Brooklyn, and the University of Toledo, to mention only a few names on its extensive schedule, and while we cannot claim that our men came out victorious on all oc- casions, we can claim for them a creditable showing under any and all situations, and on the whole, chalk up another successful campaign. SODALITY : McManus, Chase, Feild, Ullhorn, Father Herlihy (Junior Moderator), Father Ward (Senior Moderator), Reahl (Senior Prefect), Smith, Leonard (Junior Prefect). 19

Bench ley Society Fills Hole In the spring of 1938 when the Class of 4 2 first came to Loyola only one thing was lacking, to wit — a representative, modern literary society. Since then, this deficiency has been remedied in a manner surpassing their wildest dreams, with the formation of the Robert E. Benchley Literary Society. Now the flaming torch of culture must be handed on. Melpomene, who delights to transfer the laurel from one brow to another, must turn a smiling face to our successors, the erst- while juniors. Stiff upper lip, Melpomene. BENCHLEY LITERARY SOCIETY: Barrett, Kal- tenbach, Ilelfrich, Burke, Russell. 18

ORCHESTRA: Auer, Zacharski, Dubovik, Whalen, Johnson, Strickroth, Kessler, Schmidt, Middleton, F. Machacek, L. Machacek. Sodality Carries On The activities of the Sodality were carried on without interruption during the course of the year, despite the fact that the departure of Father North at midterm necessitated the appointment of Father W ard as the new moderator of the sodality and student counsellor. All the traditional activities were carried on in their usual successful manner, coming to a climax at Christmas time, with the annual dis- tribution of Christmas baskets to the poor, and again during the month of May, when the Sodality pays special homage to Mary at the May Devotions, with daily talks being given by senior members. The interest shown by the entire student body in the activities of the Sodality, and the number of new members received was gratifying. And the Band Played On ... ” Under the capable direction of Father Hacker, the orchestra ap- appeared at many of the affairs of major importance in the social life 20
