A demolisherl phonograph and a successful experi- Math Society usic Societ When first opened, the music lounge was a major point of interest. Left to the discretion of the stu- dents, however, the record collection rapidly dwin- dled and the lounge was finally closed when the phonograph was playfully demolished. After indica- tion of a resurgent interest, the Verdi Music Society was founded in the Fall of '50 to supervise recorded concerts for interested students. Attendance throughout the year has proved the experiment highly successful. The 1950-51 school year saw the reactivation of the Math Society, which had been discontinued in 1941. It has the distinction of being the only activity on campus that offers one semester hours of credit. Working in pairs, members investigated the work of great mathematicians as part of the year's program: the History of Math. ' Officers were jack Garrity, Joe Morin, Ed Keon. Faculty moderator was Mr. Joseph Ezycli. The Math Society . . . a reactivation and a semester hour of credit-

Tower Staff Easily one of the more demanding of college activi- ties, the TOWER has become perversely, the least re- warding. Although TOWER editors have constantly sought to improve the school' paper, student apathy and administrative policy have generally tended to restrict their efficiency. Most important change in the TOWER, however, was wrought this year with an entirely new format, which doubled both Wordage and attractiveness. Chuck Austin, Frank Murray, Bill Early, Noel Trottier, and George Goodreau are the men to Whom most of the credit is due for their selflessness in running the TOWER during the past year.

ed Key Society Since 1934, the Red Key Society, Rho Kappa Sigma, has attained the stature of one of the more outstanding campus organizations by its long record of meritorius service to the college. In the last four years alone, the enterprises of the Key have so ex- panded that much has been added to school tradition. Perhaps the most important of the Key's func- tions has been, however, that of acting as an organ- ized medium through which the whole student body may act. Its planning of such events as the annual Field Day and the basketball rallies Cthis year,s first will long be rememberedj are the more obvious ex- amples. But by accepting the responsibility of presenting sweaters and letters to the college teams as a reward for their outstanding efforts, the Key has proven its true mettle. This symbolic gift of gratitude from the student body has been made possible by such events as the annual winter Sport Smoker, dances, etc. The leadership of such men as Ed. Moran, Don jacques, Tom Duffy, and Nordo Nissi has made the Key the success it has been during our four years, and such an organization clearly indicates to what dc- gree Catholic Education has succeeded in training re- sponsible leaders and mature citizens. ,Its field days are examples The Red Key-expanded enterprises . . . a responsibility and a symbolic gift.
