• History Academy A complete survey of world, and particularly American history, was the ambitious undertaking of the John Gilmary Shea History Academy, during the past year. John Seal, serving his second term as Academy president, led the historians through a maze of topics ranging from the “Red Herring” investiga- tions of the Truman administration to the cultural development of ancient China. Dr. William D. Hoyt, Jr., of the History Depart- ment is Academy Moderator. Other officers in- cluded vice-president Malcolm Rose, and secre- tary-treasurer Richard Wojtek, both of whom were also serving second terms. • IRC The International Relations Club successfully sought to develop and foster interest in world prob- lems anywhere from the suffrage rights of Ubangies to differences of Communist vs. Democratic ways of life. The group endeavored to stimulate under- standing of the purpose, scope and function of the United Nations. Interchange of ideas was carried out at IRC meetings with other member schools. Active seniors were President Andy Alcarese, Joe Sills, Jack Seal, Gayle Phillips, Larry Rodowsky, Tony Spartana, Neale Smith, Wilfred Von Mayer and Joe Steffens. • Cosmopolitan Club Travelers to our halls of learning banded together as the Cosmopolitan Club. Under the presidency of John Flach, the club sought to acquaint out-of- towners with the intricacies of modern day living in Baltimore. Many social affairs were sponsored by the Cosmos in conjunction with the Kymry Club of Notre Dame of Maryland.

Lettermen Contingent ‘A f . • Vs ■■ W ' The Block “L” Club took time out from their athletic activities to sponsor a full program that was a success, both financially and socially. Under the direction of Athletic Association president Jim Bullington, who is automatically Block “L” prexy, the lettermen started the ball rolling with their traditional “Athletes’ Fete’’ in the Fall. Later in the year they held several record dances, a stag smoker, and also made tentative plans for a Homecoming Week in early Spring. George Franz was vice-president, George Kim- merlein treasurer and Tony Spartana secretary. NFCCS NSA JIM BULLINGTON The National Federation of Catholic College Students sat up and listened as Loyola’s delegation headed by Ed Pula and Jim Gumnick propounded their views. The spread of Catholicism in colleges through the medium of an all-student organization was their achieved goal. Loyola added its 600 voices to complete the 800,000 of the National Students Association in its continuing battle to uphold the rights of students on campuses and in the halls of Congress. Larry Rodowsky carried the banner for Evergreen, assisted by Frank Stafford and Jerry Murnane.

The Fourth Dimension and Math Club the Fifth Quadrant Physics Club A step into the realms of the calculi reveals both theorist and practitioner, or, in words of fewer syllables, members of the Math Club and Physics Club. The organizations have primarily the same objec- tive — to complement the work of the classroom by providing initiative to personal research and development in the respective fields. The activities consist mainly of lectures delivered by individual members of the clubs.
