Composed of some twenty members, meeting once a week, the club has endeavored to teach its members much useful information con¬ cerning the principles of radio. Immediately upon organization, officers were elected. Jerry Diver was elected president. The duties of secretary and treasurer fell upon Lee Hess. Diver, presiding over a brief business meeting at the first, turned the re¬ mainder of the meeting over to Brother John. The working of experiments based upon principles of electronics, the tracing of circuits, and the explana¬ tion of various parts of the radio constituted the better part of the lecture period. The meeting ended with a time for questions and the working of personal experiments. Each member learned a great deal of helpful infor¬ mation. Page fifty-one

n eiuman The Newman Club is an organization devoted to the arts of the theatre. The students, through the actual presentation of dramatic material, particu¬ larly plays, are given practical help in the development of their speaking ability. More generally, in all the activities of the Club, the goal is the en¬ livening and encouragement of the appreciation of all that is worthwhile in the field of drama. The Club was originally founded for juniors and seniors, but was extended to the entire student body this year. In its meetings the members are trained in the procedures of parliamentary law. The members take this opportunity to express their sincere gratitude to their moderator, Rev. Lawrence Hieman, C.PP.S., for his excellent guidance and help. This year the major production of the club was the presentation of “His Father’s Son,” a comedy in three acts. The leading roles were portrayed by John Rowell and Charles Stoddard, as father and son, respectively. Bottom row, left to right—R. Woodcock, R. Hession, J. Tripple, R. Gallivan, J. Hession, J.
