COMMERCE CEUB FOUNDED in 1927, the Commerce Club is the official student organization of the School ot Business. Its aims are threefold: to unite the successive classes in the Business School; to foster a closer union among the faculty, graduates and undergraduates of the School and to maintain that union among the Alumni; to investigate and discuss oppor- tunities for guidance in a business career and to supplement the work of the classroom through discussu ns, lectures and forums. During the past year the Club and the School of Business celebrated their twen- tieth anniversary at Manhattan College and honored the Club ' s moderator and Dean of the School at a monster social and get-to- gether in Croke Park in December. In the Spring, the (Club ' s annual dance was re- inaugurated as large numbers of faculty, alumni and undergraduates gathered to mark one of the year ' s outstanding social events. The educational and social activities of the Club were climaxed by the regular Com- merce Club banquet at the end of the school year at which the newly elected officers of the Club were installed in their new offices. The officers who guided the club through the past year under the moderatorship of Dean James I. Fitzgerald were Charles J. Joyce, President; Stephen Ahmuty, Vice-President; |ohn Convy, Secretary, and Myles Ambrose, Treasurer. 188

T ■ after the term started, the Manhattan Col- lei e Phiyers with the co-operation of mod- erator-Professor Donald Carty and Mr. Little chose The Queen ' s Husband, a drawmg- room comedy by Robert Sherwood, as the play to be produced m May. Mr. Little, as director, immediately set about the selection of his cast. Sports talk around the campus no longer centered about the basketball team which had dominated the headlines for the past few months. George Eastment ' s track squad be- came the favorite of the Jasper sports- minded. February track meets at the Madison Square Garden brought out a goodly body of the Manhattan College student group. NFCCS Week at Manhattan m the middle of February was well received. A program explaining the workings of the National Federation of Catholic College Students was presented and an appreciation of its endeavors became more apparent than ever before. 187

MANHATTAN ENGINEERS THE Manhattan Engineers, founded by the Class of 1939, is by far the largest pro- fessional group on the campus. Jocosely re- ferred to as the only organization in which a Civil Engineer will support an Electrical En- gineer, it was with this very concept of co- ordinating the activities of all engineers that the Manhattan Engineers was instituted. The Annual Engineers ' Ball, one of the functions sponsored by the Society is the best indication of the success and uniticatuin achieved through the years. From its origin when the gymnasium was fully adequate for the Ball to last year when the Main and East Ballrooms of the Hotel Commodore had to be engaged, the Engineers ' Ball has always been the social event of the school year.
