Sociologists Go To Prison , Insane Asylum On a bright Tuesday afternoon in M arch, thirty-six seniors ful- filled the prophecy oft-given by their elders that more than half of the Class of ’42 would wind up behind the bars sooner or later. But, un- fortunately for public peace and prosperity, all three dozen of the miscreants were at large again by nightfall, their release having been obtained through the intercession of Father Joseph J. Ayd on the plea that they all belonged to his Loyola Social Science Club. Later, this same group again manifested their belief in the naivete of the pub- lic officials by visiting Mount Hope Retreat. While all this cavorting was going on in the name of gaining a practical insight into social problems, these same problems were being tackled theoretically in a series of seminar lectures which included President Joseph B. Cro- ghan’s “Juvenile Delinquency,” Frank Ayd’s “Insanity” and Frank Hansen’s “Heredity.” SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB : First row — Harmon, Gallagher, Walton, Reahl, Croghan (President), F. Ayd, Hansen, Weinberg, Owen. Second row — Lancaster, May, Fitzpatrick, Stedem, Waltjen, Price, Ventura, Conlon, Barlage, Christoffel, Crook, Corasaniti. Third row — Canter, Schmidt, Kaltenbach, Russell, Boone, Barrett. Top row — Bock, Plummer, Father Ayd (Moderator), Corcoran, Thobe. 22

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

Greyhound Picks Up --For a While Under the capable editorship of Chuck Barrett, the Greyhound achieved new heights in bringing the news of Loyola to students, alumni and friends. With t lie creation of the new posts of News Editor and Associate Editors, the work was handled with much more dispatch, and the issue was usually ready for the printer by the un- heard-of early time, eleven o’clock of a Sunday evening. Compara- tively few items were left until the last minute; in fact, nearly every- thing was done by Friday except the Book Reviews, the Cold Spring Mnrmurings, the Political Column, the Feature Story, and six or seven news articles, and the Editorial was always in the hands of the printer by noon Tuesday. On Friday, everyone turned avidly to Jack Helfrich ' s column to find out the latest developments in his efforts to reform the Cafe but the crusade had little practical effect. 23
