' u . . . situated on a prominent foothill of the Allegheniesf' CLUB The Political Science Club earns its place on the St. Vincent campus by providing a source of understanding about the many facets of poli- tics. Under its able moderator, Father Armand, and president, Bob Fritschi, the club conducts classes on Parliamentary Procedure for future Parliamentarians and actively participates in the Intercollegiate Conference on Government. The club also conducts polls on current events and sponsors the annual Thanksgiving dance, this year dubbed the Cranberry Crawl. Under the auspices of the I.C.G., the club makes a trip to Harrisburg each spring to take part in the run- ning of the state government. It should also be noted that it was the Political Science Club which fostered the rise of two new clubs on campus: namely, the Young Republicans and the Young Democrats. The other officers of the Political Science Club are: John Arch, vice-president, Kenneth Schulstrom, secretaryg Paul D'Zmura, treasurerg and Edward Mulholland, parliamen- tarian. 5. 6-' John Arch and Bob Fritschi discuss the outcome of the Cranberiy Crawl. - E 5 5 4 je, 88 5' if'-W-L.

This year's photography club poses for their camera. METROPOLITAN CLUB Easily the most active- social club on campus, the Metropolitan Club is comprised of collegians hailing from the greater New York City area. Founded with the purpose to promote the name and tradition of St. Vincent College in and around the metropolitan area of New York, the club's activities consist mainly of dances, parties, and alumni reunions. This year, as has been the custom in past years, the club held their annual Christmas dance and alumni reunion at New Yorkis Waldorf Astoria with the musical accompaniment of Lester Lanin. Also the future St. Vincent freshmen are given the opportunity to attend a summer gather- ing held by the club at Jones Beach. The club's president is social lionf, James Beatty, and his assistants are Nicholas Bruno, Anthony LaMarca, and Herbert Becker. LENS AND SHUTTER The Lens and Shutter Club was organized to enable the student interested in photography to gain valuable experience and to express his own ideas in the art of picture taking and developing. The buildings and surrounding areas of St. Vincent provide an ample variety of subject matter and, with constant practice, the club members learn better methods of choosing prop- er lighting, angle shots, and the like. Provided to them, also, is a darkroom where they are able to perfect their techniques in developing, print- ing, and enlarging. The Lens and Shutter Club supplies the scenes used in the Review and Tower, and are seen wherever a college activity presents likely matter for their cameras. The inexperienced members are given help and advice on picture taking and developing by the senior members of the club, as Howard Frey, president, and Gerry Weigand. With a reserve of experience, Bob Cronin approves. .lim Beatty calculates the cost of this plans for the Met Club's agenda. YCHTLS Cl'1fiSlmaS dame- psunmnr
