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.

• 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.

Student Leaders Diseuss Pressing Issues Student Council proceedings of the past year took on a new air of proficiency and expediency. Under the presidency of Howard J. France, the Council was quick to adopt a new constitution, a task handed down by a previous Council. At the start of the year, election of Council offi- cers put Lawrence Rodowsky in as Vice-president; Joseph Blair, Secretary; Joseph Serio, Treasurer; John Seal, Parliamentarian; Edward Pula, Social Secretary and Dr. Harry Kirwin, lay faculty moderator. The Rev. Joseph K. Drane, S.J., repre- sented the religious faculty at the meetings. Important precedents were established by the body. Most notable were the use of the Council as an arbiter of disputes between organizations and the recognition that the governing group must play an active instead of a passive role in fostering the activities of its members. Two new members were added to the organiza- tion; Eta Sigma Phi and the Industrial Manage- ment Club. HOWIE FRANCE
