The speakers of this year were Barry ilyoub, Bob Blomuficlrl, Did.: Blackstociiz and Dulce Ilolbrnolf, and the Il'le1'ks were Lee Sinmums, Elin Agostini, Bill Pratt and Dave Iloldcn. We feel that they did an excellent job. The Polikon f'luli's currieuluin also included our attendance at the Model UN. in Toronto. The five delegates to this meeting and the following com- mittee meetings were Dick Bluchxstnclf, Dave Ilolflcn, Dare Ilolbrook, Ed Soyko, and Petri' Bucchler. They all felt a little inexperienced in this type of a. meeting and thus generally listened to the proceedings. They all felt that they had learned a, great deal and wished that they had taken a more active part. On XVednesday, May the 9th, the club had its final banquet at which Mr. Jluirslznll- Crowe was the guest speaker. He spoke on Connnunisin in Russia and its dangers to the VVest. His speech was thought-provoking and extremely informative.
