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

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

of the College always giving a performance of rare artistic merit. The selections played at Loyola Night were greeted with avid applause, and the performance at the Parents’ Day celebration was equally well received. We cannot refrain from adding here a word of thanks and appreciation, which has been too often forgotten, to the members of the orchestra, and especially to its director, Father Hacker. Glee Club Becomes Respectable From a very humble beginning a few years ago, the Glee Club has now risen to a position from which it can command the respect and attention not only of the student body as a whole, but of the general public as well. It too makes its appearance at most of the major social functions at Loyola, and in addition has given several com- mendable concerts at the Maryland Casualty, and recently entered the nation-wide glee club contest conducted by Fred Waring. Its success is traceable to the general enthusiasm of the members, but more especially to the untiring efforts of its director, Mr. Bolek. 21
