Clllll llll llllll lllllll Wit, cleverness, imagination and inventive shrewdness ornament the short stories of the Crimson and Gray. Articles and features have been convincing and timely. The magazine in its fiftieth year tried to reflect the stabil- ity, good taste and Christian consciousness that are char- acteristic of the school from which it emanates. Avoiding the color-loud, disjointed, bizarre presentations popular among college magazines, the Hawk Hill Harpers sub- stituted thoughtful content and a balanced viewpoint informed by a hard and fast sense of Catholic educational tradition. A distinctive format and careful proof reading assured attractive makeup. Since its revival after World War II, the Crimson and Gray Magazine has embodied the maturity and strong purpose of young writers who are more serious and more chastened for their age than students whose names appeared over articles in former YCLIFS. The publication rack, contributed to by the many colleges in the U. S. and foreign countries.

The Business Staff-much work and little praise-. CAP A ll BELL The Dramatic organization of Saint joseph's College has afforded many the opportunity to give vent to their varied ambitions in the field of drama. Either by acting on the stage or working behind the scenes or in the business activities, we have learned many of the rudiments of the theatre and the problems of production. We have been very fortunate to have had both as friends and advisors: Father Gerald Kernan, S.j., our moderatorg Mr. Charles Boylan and Mr. Frank Olley, our directors. Throughout our four years at Saint joseph's the club has had many notable achievements since its reorganization following World War Il. .ox v- axe. ,fx . N 6-1-F,-fAL.ln l Q The Cap and Bells Club.
