DISCUSSION OPENS MANY NEW DOORS TO LEARNING Newly established this year is the paper back Book-of-the-Month Club, sponsored by the departments of instruction of St. Joseph's College. Membership in the club, which is open to faculty, staff, and students of the college, along with citizens and students of the adjoining com- munity, has been set on a very informal and inexpensive basis. Members are asked simply to read the book recommended each month by the appointed educators, which is available at the college bookstore or at neighborhood agencies. A discussion of these books is held once a month at Raleigh Hall, for those interested in attending. Free coffee is served at these meetings. The book to be read is chosen by a different department each month. The college is sponsoring this project in order to improve members' knowledge of current affairs by the reading of good, low-priced books, to develop members' reading habits, and to help them build up their own library at a very low cost. The college hopes to promote worth- while reading in this manner. 29

JOSEPH M. GURGONE President ARTHUR KUREK CHARLES A. LILEIKIS Vice-President Secretary JOSEPH CHRUSTOWSKI Treasurer SENIOR HIGHLIGHTS The senior stands on the final step of a phase. Over his past three years he has acquired a valuable background comprised of an incalculable number of facets-many large, many more small-reflecting the student way of life. Equipped with this ready knowhow, he is a true vet- eran fully prepared for his last all-important offensive. Looking at the offensive from its social vantage point, the senior decided to make it an all-out effort, and scored heavy victories at Kannes, Wahls, and South Side. Viewing it with an eye to sports, the senior dominated the grid and captured its reward, the IM football title. One part of his offensive he could not neglect. This was the decision that every senior had to make, the one that would bring grad school to some, the workaday world to others, the mili- tary life to yet others. With the successful completion of his offensive, the senior closed his brief phase. The doors of college had been opening ever wider during the short span of the past four years-opening to worlds of ideas previously unknown or little explored by the intellect, to sources of strength but lightly touched on by the physique, the heights of inner contentment never before experi- enced by the spirit-in short, to a wholesome development of mind, body, and soul. Now the opening was widest, the doors farthest apart, the phase finished. Although the senior must leave his alma mater, he will not easily lose the effects that its opened doors have had upon him. Rather he will take them as the foundation on which he will build still greater achievement. The senior stands on the first step of a new phase. To him we wish the best of luck with it.
