THE llllllllll STAFF Our modern library is of great aid to stu- dents engaged in research work for term papers and reference works. Its primary use is for the pupils' own personal enjoyment, as there.is a large selection of novels and bio- graphical works. The volumes are replaced as soon as they are damaged and new books are constantly being added. The library is under the capable management of Bro. Long. assisted by Christopher Boland, Rm. 442, Iames Whitfield 454, Donald Fay 246, and Raymond Dickey 241. IHI BAHIC lIlIIB Wherever the sons of Erin traverse they have brought with them the faith and culture of their motherland. No small wonder then that we find in Rice a large representation of Irish-American boys eager to learn the language of St. Patrick and St. Brigid, and to show their prowess in Gaelic football, and in the history and literature of their fore- fathers. Our boys will be well represented this year at the Peis and the Aeridheacht and the football team has reached a peak beyond all expectations.

CAMERA ClUB The success of every school paper and yearbook depends largely upon the capabili ties of the camera club. One of the reasons why the Founder and the Edmundian have such appeal to the students is the pictures they contain. Many of these pictures were taken and developed by members of the Camera Club. This valuable activity is under the careful supervision of Bro. E. McEnroe and consists of a small, but skilled number of stu- dents of photography. At any track meet or baseball game you are sure to find a member of the camera club with his trusty camera. The Rice darkroom is fully equipped and has modern facilities for developing, printing, and coloring photos. During the vocation week, the camera club displays its beautiful collection of pictures taken at the West Park Novitiate. SPA ISH P PER Oye organ of the Span sh Department at Rice has received commendation from several educational sources throughout the City Professor Velez head of the Depart ment has instituted this periodical to bring home in a more forceful manner to the Stu dents in his Department the complete un derstanding of the culture of the Spanish Language. Edited and published by the Spanish Club under the Professor's super- vision, this school activity has been instru- mental in arousing a greater interest in a great language.
