Irish Cultural Society CINCE taking form in 1939, the Irish Cul- tural Society has been composed of stu- dents who are interested in learning and spreading the glorious heritage of Ireland, the culture of a people admired by all. Bi-monthly meetings and lecture periods have always taken place before a large and enthusiastic audience. The official organ of the Society, ' ' The Irish Record, ranked with the best of the campus publications before it ceased to exist because of wartime conditions. The guiding force last year behind the re- birth of the group was energetic John P. Grady, Junior Arts, President. Helping to unfurl the creen banner at greater heights than e er before was Vice-President, Tom Donahue; Secretary, Jim Keane; and Treas- urer, Jim Griffin. A year of successful activity commenced with the first annual forum featuring Pro- fessor Collins Healy. Other activities included a tea dance, sponsorship of a school song contest and a well attended dance at the Concourse Plaza on March 12. The bit: event of the year was of course the St. Patrick ' s Day parade where the march- ing group was organized into the most for- midable array of Manhattan representatives in the history of the parade, thanks to the work of the Irish Cultural Society. 191
