7 e School 1951 Scacm DEDICATION The Members of the Class of 1931 respectfully dedicate this year ' s Beacon to Dean Robert Munce, for his unhesitating assistance and guid- ance throughout their years at Suffolk. WALTER M. BURSE President of the University ' Pieaictmt To the Class of 1951: Your class secured its collegiate education during a period of international chaos. From your entering day to graduation th e political, economic and social world has been in constant turmoil. In spite of these conditions you have demonstrated the ability of the true scholar to rise above and beyon d his environment. Through the study of history you have learned that fundamentals do not change; through your readings in literature you know that people always react in a familiar pattern. Knowing these facts you have a foundation upon which to create your personal faith. Having learned how to search for and find the eternal truths of life, you have developed competence, character and courage. Knowledge is the anchor of life, and with it you can ride out life ' s storms. Having seen you, as undergraduates, develop in these years of uncertainty and unrest. Alma Mater is proud to place its seal of approval upon you. With full faith and confidence in you. we salute you as educated young men and women whose contribution to the future of America we know will bring credit to Suffolk as well as to each of you. TVcdter 7K. Saw, President ROBERT J. MUNCE Dean of the University 4 TMeteaye l%om me De ZK To the Class of 1951: A Class of merit is about to be added to the Alumni group of Suffolk. Uni- versity. The Alumni group will profit by the assimilation of the Class of ' 51. And you, both as a Class and as individuals, will benefit by your continued partici- pation in the affairs of Suffolk. The Alumni group is to be congratulated on its newcomers with such fine personal characteristics. It is my honest opinion that as the years roll by, the class of ' 51 will promote the growth and stability of the University — in surprising ways. You have long since demonstrated the appropriate spirit, the imagination and the initiative. The University, on the other hand, owes much to the Class of ' 51. and you shall be compensated by our growing and becoming ever more worthy of being the Alma Mater to the men and women who have received our instruction and have socialized in our hallways. You have reached your peak of responsibility and accountability. You need only to sharpen your techniques by worthwhile experiences. No matter what your experiences may be in the near future, it is indeed an unusual activity if a respon- sible person can not squeeze some good from it, particularly to strengthen character and to develop courage in handling future situations. The world is looking for responsible people and they have a better chance to break through when economic and social levels are in a critical state. Be flexible and timely. Education gives one the necessary awareness and alertness. Education does not automatically give the answer to the many problems, but it helps in recognizing them. Once the problem is recognized and understood, the solution is less difficult. In this chaotic period when we are forced to live dangerously, we nevertheless, can act courageously. We may be perplexed about other things but we need not be confused about our character, culture and responsibility in life. Now that we are, in a sense, at the crossroads of civilization, and fears and passions are almost overpowering, we can call on our educational disciplines and attitudes to clear our understanding of the current events. A truly educated person can see through the distortions of the times and can minimize the strains. Now that you are graduating from Suffolk University, I can only bid you to continue to have understanding and courage. DONALD W. GOODRICH Registrar edgar l.

We walked up Stamford and Temple Streets from North Station. We took a short cut through the State House from the Park Street subway. Laden with suitcases and packages, we came by taxicab from South Station. We came from homes and high schools in New York, Oklahoma, Cali- fornia. We came from the European theater, the Asian theater, the Pacific theater. We met at Suffolk University. It was then that this history began. We never dreamed in the mad flurry of that first day when we nervously stood in the bookstore line, walked cautiously into classrooms, read and re-read rules and regulations, saw past Dean ' s Lists, checked club schedules, examined veterans ' in- formation, and discussed World War II that four years later we would graduate under the threatening clouds of another war. We were college freshmen. We spent that first year studying hard, making friends, joining clubs, trying out for athletic teams. We were becoming part of college life. The fall of ' 47 introduced us to our first mid-semester exams. George D. Kirwin took over the dramatic club, and we laughed until our sides ached at the melodrama, Fashions, or Life in New York. 1948 was ushered in with semester finals. We made the grade, breathed our sighs of relief, and witnessed the birth of a new endeavor at Suffolk, the Radio Workshop. Under the direction of Mr. Richard Strunsky, the Workshop aired a show every Saturday afternoon at one o ' clock over station WVOM. With Norman Ruby announcing the news and John Clancy interviewing name personali- ties, the Workshop introduced Pops conductor Arthur Fiedler, actor Jackie Cooper, Governor Paul A. Dever, vocalist Judy Valentine, and Juanita Hall and Martin Wolfson of South Pacific. ' 48 also saw fourteen members of the Senior Class honored by being selected to appear in Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities. We danced to Bob Dennis ' music at the Varsity Club ' s annual Sportsters Hop at the Hotel Bradford. Larry Green, Al Capp, and Jack Edwards selected Beatrice Butler as the University ' s first Miss Suffolk. The library was the scene of a Look for a Book dance to help raise reading matter for State Prison inmates. The admission price was one book — remember? Summer came. Some of us took courses at the University, others went home or to jobs or vacations at beaches and resorts all over the country. Tanned and reliving summer adventures, we registered at Suffolk once again — this time as Sophomores. We met two new classmates, one from Palestine, the other from Arabia. It was during that September of ' 48 that Jane Wyman received a Suffolk University certificate of merit for her portrayal of a mute in Johnny Belinda. The Journal not only predicted Miss Wyman ' s Oscar, but also achieved nation-wide fame for its student-polled prediction of the Truman-Dever landslide. More than 500 students and their dates danced to the music of Freddie Guerra at the third annual Thanksgiving Dance at the Imperial Ballroom of the Hotel Statler. Joe Valcour and Jerry Noonan starred in Charlie ' s Aunt, which followed Beyond the Horizon, a Eugene O ' Neill drama. Another summer sped by and we were back once again to swing into our majors and start the second half of our college careers. Johnny Johnston, movie star, helped select Betty Humphries as the University ' s second Miss Suffolk. Joe Saponaro was knocking off all competition in the Inter- collegiate Billiards Tournament. George Kirwin stepped across the footlights to score a tremendous success as Sheridan Whiteside in the Dramatic Club ' s production of The Man Who Came to Dinner. 1949 roared along with the Sportsters Dance in April, the Junior Class dance, the NSA Festival, the Esplanade Picnic. Dick Stukas took second place in the Hearst Oratorical finals in New York. The Junior-Senior Ball at the Somerset, May 13th, featured Al Navarro with Ruby Newman ' s orchestra. Betty Humphries appeared at the Meadows with Vaughn Monroe. September of ' 49 saw Dean Robert J. Munce appointed as the new Dean of the University. There was talk of a S. U. football team, and Who ' s Who honored eleven Seniors. The Thanksgiving dance was held at the Hotel Statler ' s Georgian Room. It was announced that the University could grant Master ' s Degrees in the Colleges of Liberal Arts, Journalism, and Business Administration. A Christmas Pageant entitled, When the Chimes Ring, starred seven-year-old Stephen Edgar DeForest, son of Suffolk ' s director of student affairs. Frances Balukonis, Greg Finn, and John Clements were featured in the Dramatic Club ' s melodrama, Bertha, the Beautiful Typewriter Girl. Manny Strauss produced a talent show which was won by Law School baritone Jim McCarthy. Featured were Dave Saliba, Charlie Ayers, and Suffolk ' s new band. The show was M.C. ' d by the inimitable Jack Clancy. We saw the birth of the Press Club, Ted Williams made an Honorary member of the Varsity Club, and the Sportsters dance at the Hotel Bradford. The student teaching program was rolling along, and S. U. ' s Debating team scored successes at the National Tournament at Boston University. Gilda Corso was elected Miss Popularity, and for the first time, Suffolk ' s Queen was chosen by popular vote of the students. A sparkling show, headed again by Jack Clancy, made the Coronation a delightful ceremony. The office of the Dean announced that the fall semester ' s Dean ' s List was one of the largest in the University ' s history, nineteen percent of the student enroll- ment making it. Mayor Hynes returned to his alma mater to address the student body. The Roving Reporter ' s question was: Is the faculty attempting to avoid sponsoring its own talent show? On March 23rd and 24th, the Dramatic Club presented The Hasty Heart, starring Paul Murphy, Mike Marmer, and Betty Jackson. The S. U. Hoopmen closed their season with a 123-42 win over New England College of Pharmacy. The student newspaper published its first April Fool issue, the only complaint being that there weren ' t enough copies. Miss Virginia Kellog, noted author and free-lance reporter, lectured in the auditorium. Merrill Marmer, Norman Ruby, and Francis Donoghue were named to the top posts on the Journal. Doctor Henry Gould, famed Scandanavian psy- chologist, amazed and delighted Suffolk students with a brilliant demonstration of hypnotism and mental telepathy. May 5th saw the Class of 50 ' s Senior Prom at the Hotel Statler, and the very next night the Sophomore Spring Dance at the Dorothy Quincy Suite of the John Hancock Building. Governor Dever, Attorney-General Kelly, and many judges helped honor Frank L. Simpson, Dean of the Law School. The annual Recognition Day was held on May 19th, when outstanding students of the Uni- versity and Law School were honored. Summer! June 25th — Korea! September! The Class of 1951 now became the SENIOR CLASS . . . our class . . . our year. A class consisting of 75 percent veterans of World War II was going to graduate into another international crisis, was going out to face a world which was once more staring war right in the eye. But at Suffolk the headline read, Journal Last Rites. The Suffolk Journal would be the Journal no more. A new name, the Rambler, would appear on her masthead. The Variety Club and its Talent Roster was born. George Karavasilis was elected president of the Alumni Association, and the Suffolk University Theater would have its first student director. October was the month for organization and re-organization of activities. The Student Council reincarnated the old Yowler with a new bloop sheet, the Marquee. Vera Caspary ' s Laura was selected as the year ' s first drama. The Rec Hall was now dubbed, Ram ' s Cove ; Zelma Goldberg became the first co-ed in the history of Suffolk to be awarded a Varsity letter, and all clubs started hustling for members. Gertrude Lawrence received Suffolk ' s second Oscar, a drama was recorded on sound tape for the first time, and S. U. Law graduates accounted for over twelve percent of the mid-year admissions to the Massachusetts Bar. We met a new for- eign student, Evangeline Theofilis of Athens, Greece. Jim Caras was elected Senior Class president, with Bill Mullaney, Don Wood- row, and Dave O ' Meara as Vice-president, secretary and treasurer. Bob Kav- anaugh, Leo Hammer, and Bluma Glickstein would represent us on the Student Council. The Debating team took eight decisions at the University of Vermont, and 1500 people were thrilled by the University Theater ' s production of Laura. The Wig and Robe Society and the Suffolk Club of Lowell held succesful fall dances; the Yearbook committee under Ranee Donoghue promised the best yearbook possible. The Jerry Lester craze was sweeping Suffolk, and the cry was George, and What time does the balloon go up? The Seniors promoted the Harvest Ball at the Empire Room of the Hotel Vendome on Thanksgiving Eve. Twenty-four Seniors were honored by Who ' s Who. These students, an increase of thirteen over last year, included: Ernest Amaral, James Caras, John Clements, Theodore Curley, Francis Donoghue, John Donovan, Francis Gallagher, Earle Gerson, Bluma Glickstein, Leon Hammer, Joseph Hughes, Stanley Jarvis, Robert Kavanaugh, Francisco Lagrotteria, Merrill Marmer, Edgar McQuarrie, George Murphy, David O ' Meara, Stephen Panagio- topoulos, Irving Pickering, Norman Ruby, James Shea, Thomas Sulivan, and Donald Woodrow. November 17th witnessed the unveiling of the Variety Club ' s Talent Roster, which was a howling success. For the first time since the end of World War II, American colleges and universities showed an enrollment drop. Those unfortunate souls known as Reservists were being picked off one at a time. We heard from grads who had been called back, and settled down to Sweating out ou r Senior year at Suffolk — the final months of college for most of us. The Debators were defeating all comers, and the University Theater announced a comedy as its next production. Christmas 1950. Peace on earth, good will toward all men? 1951! The mad scramble of the graduating class began. Senior class meet- ings to discuss the yearbook. Senior class meetings to discuss the Prom. Senior class meetings to discuss fund-raising campaigns, the Senior Show, the Moonlight Cruise, Senior Week, caps and gowns, and the thousand-and-one things for which Senior class meetings are held. Throughout those hectic five months we saw the cast being named for You Can ' t Take It With You, the riotous comedy being presented by the University Theater. The campaign was on for Suffolk ' s Sweetheart, the Queen, Miss Pop- ularity. Many S. U. students attended the gala opening of the Hub ' s first col- lege night club, the Campus Caste. It proved to be a novel and highly successful venture. Ram Icemen downed Holy Cross and Amherst while the Basketball squad was making its mark also. Miss Joan Blondell and a Variety Club show presided at the Coronation of Miss Suffolk. It was announced that the majority of American colleges would return to emergency accelerated programs. The Suffolk Rambler masthead looked like a pennant race in September. The Half Fare Transportation Bill was of interest to Boston students. The Sophs and Juniors were planning a combined dance for April. March 2nd and 3rd were the nights for You Can ' t Take It With You, featuring Terry Bresler, Ernest Amaral, Walter Steele, Barbara Savini, Jack Donovan and the largest cast ever seen in a University Theater production. Two hundred couples danced to Hal Reeve ' s music at the Varsity Club ' s annual Sportsters Hop at the Dorothy Quincy Suite of the John Hancock Building. At this writing, the Senior Show is in rehearsal. Directed by John Clements and Mike Marmer, this musical comedy revue is to be presented April 6th and 7th. . . . and so are recorded the highlights of the Class of 1951. Four years of friends and memories which will be climaxed at Commencement, June 13th. We will each have our individual memories — those little bits of nostalgia which couldn ' t be set in type. If, in ten or twenty or fifty years from now, you pick up this yearbook, read this history and remember how Suffolk gave it to you, then we have done our job. Here ' s a drink from the past, and a toast to the future. By Merrill Marmer FIRST ROW : Steve Panagiotopoulos, Ted Metros, James Caras, Francis Donoghue, Tom Lawton. SECOND ROW: Billie Glickstein.

Senior Class Executive Committee For the first time in a Suffolk University graduating class, the men behind the scenes of class activities were grouped into a single committee. The men who sell tickets, arrange meetings, plan for a yearbook, and do a hundred other odd tasks form the Executive Committee. Under the direction of Senior Class president, James Caras, various assign- ments were handed out to committeemen who organized details for all Senior Class activities. The Senior Class, one of the most active in Suffolk ' s history, had a full sched- xile almost from opening day. A successful Thanksgiving Day dance was held soon after school opened. The climax came during graduation week when a full program of activities for the Senior Class took place. By a division of work among the members of a large committee, no burden was placed upon any single man and a full program of activities flowed smoothly through the year. The idea of a Senior Class executive committee will probably become as traditional as class officers judging by the success of the Senior Class Executive Committee of 1951.

Dramatic Club The years 1950-1951 found the Suffolk Dramatic Club incorporated with the New Suffolk University Theatre under the direction of Mr. George D. Kirwim The Dramatic Club of Suffolk University has become indeed a versatile group of collegiate Thespians. On through the years since its organization in 1946, it has performed many and varied types of plays, from the sincerity of Eugene O ' Neil to the infectious laughter of Hart Kaufman. This year saw a definite step forward in its underlying purpose; namely, a prac- tical workshop in drama, by having its first student director, and providing an ex- perimental laboratory for those students interested, and majoring in Speech, Play Production, and Direction. The versatility of the Club is shown by the plays which it presents. This year it presented Laura in the more sophisticated manner. The hair raising mystery drama with its ultra-modern set was quite reversed in the second production of the year. The rollicking Hart-Kaufman comedy You Can ' t Take It With You proved beyond a doubt to all who participated that the title was indeed true. The final production lent an air of simple but true to life feeling in the famous tried and true play, Our Town. The homespun New England atmosphere created by this play left everyone, both on the stage and in the audience, with a feeling of serene security and peaceful happiness. MANAGEMENT FIRST ROW : R.

Business Club On Friday, October 6, 1950, Mr. Charles T. Johnson, Instructor in the School of Business Administration, called together a meeting of Business Administration students for the purpose of establishing a Business Club at Suffolk University. Mr. Johnson explained to the students that there never was sach a club established at Suffolk University and that its eventual success would depend upon the in- terest shown by the students. Mr. Johnson said that the aim of the Club would be to provide an opportunity for students to work together for job opportunities and to become better acquainted with their fellow students and the business field. Mr. George Murphy was selected to act as chairman until officers were elected. Mr. Francis Flaherty was selected as assistant to Mr. Murphy. The following committees were established: Publicity, Social, Requirements, Constitutional, Guest Speaker, and Survey. Members of committees were told to gather all information they could and report at the next meeting to be held October 16, 1950. On this date the Constitutional Committee presented the Constitution to the student body and adopted it with a few revisions. The various committees reported that they had started the ball rolling and it would be only a matter of time before the club actually got under way. At the next meeting held October 9, 1950 the officers were elected as provided for in the Constitution. MARKETING FIRST ROW: E. Izen, Society Chairman; F. Gallagher, Treasurer; G.

Business Club After the elections were held the club had its first guest speaker, Professor Charles H. Dufton, Chairman of the New England Chapter of the American Marketing Association, and member of the faculty of Northeastern University. Professor Dufton congratulated Suffolk as being the fifth school in Mass. to have such a club and he welcomed all members to the American Marketing Associa- tion, which each member could join as a result of being a member of the Suffolk Club. Professor Dufton told the students of the innumerable opportunities they had as members of their school club and of the National Club, and he left them full of enthusiasm and expectation of things to come in the future. On November 13, 1950 the Business Club had its second guest speaker in the person of Dr. Burns of Northeastern University. Dr. Burns had come to Suffolk for the purpose of informing the students of the opportunities that their club had in joining the Society for the Advancement of Management. Dr. Burns explained that this organization was national in scope and that even after graduation a student could continue to join the organization during his business career. The students were extremely interested in this club and the Business Club is still endeavoring to become eventually affiliated with this national organization. FIRST ROW: Michael Paratore.

Italian Club In its effort to preserve and maintain the rich cultural heritage of Italy, the Italian Club of Suffolk University has constantly endeavored to aid students to appreciate and understand that heritage. Throughout its long career as one of the oldest clubs of the university, it has brought many pleasant hours of enter- tainment and enjoyment to interested students. During the school year 1950-51, members and friends were treated to first hand movies of historical and delightfully beautiful scenes of charming Italy. Various famous arias were presented and the background and stories included therein. The parties of the club were no less exciting with the rich, exotic foods served. Officers made plans during the year for personal travel-talks, supper-meetings and lectures. The Italian Club joined with the other language clubs to sponsor a Language Club dance during the first semester which turned out to be one of the best attended dances of the year. Membership in the Italian Club is open to all students as are all student activities. The maintenance of a satisfactory scholastic standard is a prerequisite for participation in this club. Excellent Italian movies, travel talks by invited guests, and Italian folk song records provided the members with a full program of activities.

The Council Marquee The Council MARQUEE is this year ' s successor to the famous Monday Morning Bloop Sheet, the YOWLER. The name changed with the sponsorship when Suffolk ' s Student Council took over its publication. During the year, the MARQUEE ' s purpose has been to announce and publicize all extra-curricular events, to editorialize, and to supply a humorous interlude between classes, studies, and RAMBLERS. Since the MARQUEE is not bound by contracts and deadlines, the one, two, or more page mimeographed sheet appeared whenever coming attractions and current items could fill it. Varsity sport events, Dances, Variety Club Reviews, and of course, University Theater Productions, as well as visiting celebrities occasioned editions of the Council MARQUEE. Billie Glickstein, Vice-President of the Student Council, edited the MARQUEE with John Clements, co-editor. The rest of the Work, Worry, Wonder, and Write brigade included several associates in technical capacities, Carmine Pizzi, and Leo Hammer; a compositor, Joe Hughes; and two associates in literary and consult- ing positions, Norm Ruby, and Mike Marmer. Altogether, Glickstein, Clements, and Co., Ltd. produced a score of (news, features, sketch-cartoons, and witticisms compiled) MARQUEES during the year 1950-1951. The MARQUEE could well become another institution at Suffolk. This year students became accustomed to picking up the little sheet. It could grow into a habit. FIRST ROW: Charles Law, Advisor; J.

The club is composed of all lettermen of the University and the Law School, They meet weekly to keep abreast of their activities and to discuss current problems. The yearly varsity dance which was this year held in the beautiful Dorothy Quincy Suite in the John Hancock Building, is sponsored by the club and is the means whereby revenue is obtained to purchase sweaters for deserving athletes. The year 1950-51 saw the opening of a drive to enroll all the alumni who were once members and now have lost contact with the club. It is the hope of the Varsity Club to have a large representation thoughout the country in future years. Through the Varsity Club the name of Suffolk has already been spread throughout New England. Without a doubt the Varsity Club realized the cooperation and support that the student body and the Faculty has given to all its activities, and by this token the club hopes to go on to greater successes in the future. This year ' s officers are to be commended for their efforts in the club ' s advance- ment. They include: Don Shea, president; Jerry Shanahan, vice-president; Jack. Downs, secretary; and Don Woodrow, treasurer. FIRST ROW : Dean Munce, Frank Callagher. Robert Kavanagh, Billie Gliekstein, Leo Hammer, Stephen Panagiotopoulos, Ranee Donoghue.

Who ' s Who at Suffolk University Each year in more than six hundred American universites and colleges through- out the country, the names of outstanding seniors are compiled in WHO ' S WHO IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES. Outstanding seniors whose leadership, character, scholarship, success in extra-curricular activities show future promise are nominated for this award by a committee representing the faculty, administration, and student council. Since its founding in 1934, the prestige of this nation-wide organization has grown with each year. The book has become a standard reference of the young men and woman most likely to succeed. The editors of this publication establish a direct contact between colleges and the business and professional worlds by providing employers with information about college seniors who are promising potential employees. Each year at Suffolk the students who succeeded in making this selected group are presented a scroll at the Recognition Day exercises. This year because of the large graduating class, twenty-four seniors will be honored. One of the highest honors a student at Suffolk University may attain is nomi- nation for WHO ' S WHO IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COL- LEGES.

The Philosophy Club The Philosophy Club of Suffolk University was established for the purpose of arousing discussion and thinking upon matters of primary importance; it has con- tinued successfully to serve as an intellectual medium, wherein everyone may offer ideas to be spun into a well-knit, organized pattern. Various concepts, sophisticated and spontaneously sincere, have been offered by its members and guests, with man, his ideals and culture, and the problems arising from the conflict of different ideals in that culture being the focusing point for contemplation and investigation. Socially, the club has always been interested in fostering the building of com- mon ideals and the development of individuality in relation to our culture. Con- sequently, the doors are kept open at all times to new members and guests. The Suffolk University Philosophy Club conducts its meetings within the school building in an easy, liberal atmosphere, once every two weeks. Active mem- bership is offered to all students, with a minimum attendance of one meeting out of three being required. The club, under the guidance of Dr. Sahakian, continues to be one of the most active in the school. Each year its membership rolls grow largely through the Spring membership drive which caters to under-classmen. FIRST ROW: Norman Ruby.

Variety Club The Variety Club of Suffolk University, despite its youth, has functioned most actively since its inception a year ago. On several occasions, the Variety Club has presented original skits, and shows consisting of singing, dancing, and the like. The Variety Club was formed primarily for the purpose of establishing a Tal- ent Roster which could be called upon with very little notice to entertain both inside and outside the University. At the present time, plans are under way to present comedy skits for the entertainment of disabled servicemen in Army, Navy, Marine, and Air Corps Hospitals as well as Veterans ' Hospitals. The Club is open to all students who in any way, manner, shape, or form possess the spirit and talent as well as the desire to keep people happy. This Club affords to those students who don ' t have the necessary time to par- ticipate actively in other extra-curricula activities, the opportunity to gain valuable experience on the stage, and become popular among their colleagues through a min- imum of time and effort. Th enthusiastic ovations which the Variety Club received from its audiences insure its undaunted success in the future, and the anxiety with which it awaits another Variety Club Show.

Enjoy- ing wide success when first organized in 1949, it has enjoyed continu:d success, expanding its activities in other fields. The Club is dedicated to bringing about an understanding of current social problems to the student body, and to bring to light interesting sidelights on human relationships. One of the activities of the current year which attracted a large number of students was the field trip. The club visited famous prisons and mental insti- tutions around Boston, with favorable prospects for more trips before the end of the year. The officers of the club have endeavored to make the club one of the most outstanding of the University. Its large enrollment is an indication of its success. The officers elected were: Earle Gerson, President; Francisco R. Lagrotteria, Vice-President; Ruth Deroser, Secretary; Jean McPhee, Treasurer. Largely through the efforts of the officers, the club members enjoyed a series of educational movies presented at the regular meetings. Guest speakers rounded out one of the busiest years on record for the Sociology Club. The faculty advisor was D. Donald Fiorillo. FIRST ROW: Shirley Iiagdoian ; Gabriel Caggiano ; James Shea, Chairman of Board; E. Scleparis ; Edward Powell. SECOND ROW: Albert Norton, Richard Kenny, Robert Pease, Alan Kunian, Leonard Glazer, Sheldon Gold. Pre-Legal Club The Pre-Legal Club is the youngest organization in Suffolk University. It originated among a group of students currently enrolled in the college departments who plan to go on to Law School. It gives the students the advantage of becoming acquainted with their fellows who will later on in life become their colleagues. This year the club spent most of its time organizing and planning for future years. It could well become the nucleus of a future organization that may be the largest in Suffolk ' s history. Present plans call for weekly m eetings next year at which various lawyers and law instructors will be guest speakers. It plans also to run a series of social events including a dance during the school year. During the year 1950-51 the constitution was ratified and presented to the Student Council for approval. Officers were elected and committees appointed to carrry out the details of the organization ' s future plans. Membership is open to any pre-legal student in the University division. Meet- ings are held weekly and dues are payable monthly. The final meeting this year was for the purpose of electing officers for 1951-52. This enables the new officers to begin planning for the next year while continuing summer activities under the accelerated program in the University.

SECOND ROW: Barbara Savini, Jeanette Mezansky, Juanita Swindler, Gloria Boswell, Billie Glickstein. THIRD ROW : Mary Pomphrey, Peri Traunstein, Irene O ' Leary, Jean McPhee. Women ' s Association of Suffolk University WASU is the most important co-ed activity at Suffolk. Its purpose is to foster friendship among women students and it was amply fulfilled this past year. Under the guidance of the Advisor to Women, Miss Edith Marlcen, WASU swung into the Fall term with an informal reception and tea to welcome freshmen co-eds. This has become the traditional opening function of the Association and it is well received by the freshmen. Many worthwhile projects were sponsored to acquaint new students with college life and to stimulate their interest in extra-curricular activities. As a staunch supporter of school activities, WASU played an active part in student elections, ticket-selling drives, athletic events and school dances. One of their major accomplishments was the dance in the Rec Hall, an afternoon Record Hop. The purpose of the WASU is to further the general interests of women students of the University and to foster friendship among the members of the society. The members of WASU have always supported every University function almost as a body. The club could well be called the most loyal at Suffolk. The activity record this year was largely due to the efforts of the officers who were: Jean Smith, President; Hedy Fennell, Vice-President; Lucille Kane, Secretary; and Josephine Catalano, Treasurer.

SECOND ROW: Ted Metros, John Christenakis, Ronald Payne, Jacob Aronson, Ernest Zigerelli. THIRD ROW : Carl Sawtelle, John Regan, Norman Weiner. The Spanish Club The Spanish Club was organized in April, 1947. The purpose of this club has been to acquaint students with Spanish culture and customs. The lecturers, who address the club, speak in Spanish and the language is used as much as possible in carrying on the club meetings. The club is a medium for the practical use of the knowledge of Spanish the students have acquired. In this way, a personal interest in Spanish is aroused. The club has a special value for those who intend to work or to do graduate work in Latin American countries. The club has grown rapidly since its inception and is constantly searching for. additional activities which will interest its members. A library of Spanish records is being built up by the club and a varied collection has been acquired. The faculty advisor to the club is Dr. G. H. McKee, associate professor of languages. The eye-catching signs on the bulletin boards featured colorful representations of life in Spain and were a factor in acquiring a large turnout for the weekly meetings. In January the club had an extensive membership drive which lasted several weeks and added nearly fifty names to the roster.

Rambler At the outset of the school year in September the last Suffolk Journal was published. The succeeding publications were called the Suffolk Rambler, the new official name for the university ' s bi-monthly newspaper. The new name was a tie-in with the recently adopted nickname of Suffolk ' s sports teams, the Rams. The Rambler employed a staff of forty under the direction of Mike Marmer, Editor-in-Chief; Norman Rubby, Managing Editor; and Ranee Donoghue, Asso- ciate Editor. Members of the staff gained invaluable experience in newspaper writing and administration, and in the mechanics of makeup and layout. Assign- ments include news reporting, feature stories, columns and re-writing. Other departments include sports, business, advertising, photography, exchange and circulation. Staff membership was open to any student enrolled in the College of Journalism, Business Administration, Liberal Arts, Pre-Legal and Law. The Rambler established a close contact with the student body by publishing letters from students on its editorial page. This space gave the writers an oppor- tunity to comment on affairs of national and international significance. School affairs and sport contests were given prominent display and excellent coverage. All departments and staff members cooperated to make the Suffolk Rambler a com- plete school newspaper. FIRST ROW: Miss Marken, Advisor; Mike Marmer ; Norman Ruby; Don Woodrow ; Barbara Savini. SECOND ROW: R. Bowles, L. Kaufman, R. Dono K hue, A. Ablow, S. Toby, J. Mezansky. Press Club The Press Club of Suffolk University saw its initiation in 1950 as an effort to establish closer relations between the working press and the student journalist. Although the club has as its members, students in the school of journalism, it is not exclusive in this respect, but encourages the members of the various college de- partments to join and actively participate in club functions. This year the club held a series of parties and had at its meetings several speak- ers from the newspaper field. The editors of the Suffolk Rambler, the school newspaper, spoke to the members of the club on several occasions. The subject of their talks dealt with various aspects of turning out a school newspaper. For next year, the undergraduate members of the club have planned to form an alumni press association to embrace Press Club members who have graduated in recent years. This year ' s membership was largely composed of students majoring in journal- ism but an effort was made, toward the close of the year, to interest students in other departments in the field of journalism. Plans for next year also include visits by outstanding Boston newspapermen and tours of several publishing plants. Miss Edith Marken, head of the Journalism Department, was the club ' s faculty advisor. FIRST ROW: Leon Hammer, Norman Ruby, Alan Ablow. Zelma Goldberg, Jeanette Mezansky.

The Suffolk University Chapter of the Intercollegiate Zionist Federation of America (IZFA) was founded in October, 1949. Since then, it has assumed its place beside the other clubs in the university as an integral part of the extra curric- ula activities program. The chapter is a part of a national federation, embracing most of the major colleges and universities in the country. Within the short space of three years, Suffolk IZFA has sponsored many social events and cultural programs. In addition to the regular meetings within the university, the chapter has joined with the rest of the New England area in participating in weekend seminars and various other types of endeavor. It is hoped that the chapter will be able to send representatives to the national as well as to the regional conventions, both to be held very shortly. Since its foundation, the chapter has been one of the outstanding units in New England and it shall continue to represent Suffolk spirit in the future. The officers for next year were elected at the club ' s final meeting in May. They plan to initiate a membership drive in September among the students in the Law School. Plans for next year also include guest speakers and movies. FIRST ROW : Howard Richardson ; Billie Glickstein, Vice-President ; Robert Kavanagh, President; Irene O ' Leary, Secretary; Henry Hahn, Treasurer. SECOND ROW : Robert Haidukiewicz, Paul Keane, Robert Clay, William Lott, Mel Cariofiles, Carmine Pizzi. The Student Council The Student Council consists of three representatives of high academic standing from each class of the student body. These representatives are elected by their respective classes in May of each year. The purpose of the Council is to cooperate in joint representation with both faculty and students in coordinating and unifying the life of the university and to afford a medium for expression of undergraduate sentiment in an effort to elicit the specific needs of the student body by execution of the powers granted by its constitution. Under the able leadership of its president, Robert E. Kavanagh, this year ' s council has left a glowing record of successful achievements for its successors. The Council sponsored a Miss Suffolk Contest, a blood drive to obtain whole blood for the armed forces in Korea, a Record Show, supervised all elections, compiled an activities calendar, revised class constitutions, and appointed committees to regulate many minor details of student activities. Each year the importance of the Student Council grows largely because each member gives untiring energies to weekly meeting, committee work, hearings, con- ferences and full cooperation with other student groups to help put into force the policies desired by the classmates they represent.

Psychology Club Students interested in and majoring in Psychology will find the club ' s activities both stimulating and informative. Guest speakers are invited to lecture on topics pertinent to psychology. Field trips to the many psychiatric clinics acquaint mem- bers with psychological therapy in action. Included in the club ' s activities is the administering of personality tests which help each member to know his own personality pattern and learn the process of giving and correcting such tests. The Psychology Club enables the student to gain a better understanding of human problems and brings him up to date on the innova- itons in the psychology field. This year the club has played host to many guest speakers and the membership has increased to over one hundred. This year the Psychology Club conducted its annual Spring dance for the charity fund. It also participated in demonstrations of hypnosis by Dr. Henry Gould, famed Scandinavian psychologist, who delighted a capacity auditorium audience. Next year the club is planning on more such demonstrations as well as trips to out-of-state mental hospitals and psychiatric clinics. These trips will allow the students to compare the facilities of the various states and will introduce them to new methods of psychological therapy. FIRST ROW: Tom Sullivan. Secretary: Linwood Young, President; John McDonough, Vice-President. SECOND ROW: Howard Lewis, Frank Lagrotteria. Walter M. Burse Debating Society The purpose of the Walter M. Burse Debating Society — of any group of debators is primarily to stimulate thinking. Suffolk ' s oratorical representatives have proven their mettle in three consecutive Hearst speaking contests as well as in competition with all the New England colleges. The double loss of the faculty advisor and club president who were called to active duty, has been lessened somewhat by Mr. Tape Recorder. The acquisition of this portable echo has increased the skill and confidence of the debators by showing up errors in ennunciation and correcting the deficiencies in everyday speech. In a national tourney at the University of Virginia, and at tournaments held at Vermont, Tufts, and M. I. T., Suffolk ' s debators have held their own on the mental field of battle. Suffolk ' s team also debated with a team from Clark University on a home- and-home basis. The Debating Society, as well as stimulating thinking among the students, provides an excellent testing ground for pre-legal students who may in the future be called upon for professional debate. An excellent series of social events was provided the members throughout the year by President Linwood Young. FIRST ROW: Jean McPhee ; Robert Haidukiewicz, President; John Raccuia ; Jacob Aronson. SECOND ROW: Ray Bradley, Jr., David Battie, Saul Stearns. French Club Since its inception was approved by the Student Council in 1948, the French Club has achieved its goal of bringing to the student body a greater undestanding of France, its people, its language, and its culture. To ascertain its goal, the French Club has, upon numerous occasions, presented films, slides, and lectures. Medieval walled cities such as Carcassons, Chateaux of the Renaissance in Chambord, Blois, Ambroise and Azay-de-Rideau were shown. One of its many exciting guests was Monsieur Chambon, of the French Consul in New England. Besides observing pictures, and listening to guest lecturers the French Club participates actively in French Plays and discussions. This year under the capable guidance of Dr. Catherine Fehrer, Faculty Ad- visor, the French Club held its annual dinner at Club Henry IV in an entirely French atmosphere enveloped with the soothing strains of music by Debussy, Bizet, and D ' Indy. In April the club presented a French play in which members took part. It provided an excellent testing ground for the students ' knowledge of French drama. The program was under the direction of Dr. Catherine Fehrer. Officers for next year were elected at the club ' s final meeting in June. FIRST ROW: Costas Letsou ; Stephen Themeles : Thomas Hodgson, President; Fred Bardsley ; Stephen Panagiotopoulos. SECOND ROW : John Malliaros, James Farah, Francis Donoghue, Mike Maimer, Harv ey Korobkin. Suffolk University Club of Lowell The Suffolk University Club of Lowell was organized on February 11, 1948, by a handful of Lowell students who felt the need of a fraternal organization for the growing Lowell attendance at the Beacon Hill School. The movement was almost spontaneous and from the outset a spirit of co- operation and willingness to work was displayed by the organizers. In three years, the club has earned the reputation of the most active college club in Lowell by virtue of the number of social events it has sponsored, the civic pride it has shown, and the growth of its membership rolls. In the past years the club has honored at banquets in Lowell President Walter Burse, Dean Robert Munce and Dean Frank L. Simpson. The club also promoted a number of dances and get-togethers. With many graduates remaining in the club as alumni, the club continually grows as each new freshman class enters Suffolk. Many applications for member- ship have been received from alumni who graduated as long as twenty years ago. Officers for next year were elected during the April vacation. They plan to continue the drive for building the membership of the Lowell club to capacity. The success of this club has inspired similar efforts in other cities. FIRST ROW: Jacob Aronson ; Theodore Whitcomb. President; John Germann, Vice- President ; Robert Powers. SECOND ROW : Leon Hammer, James Caras, Ted Metros. Rifle and Pistol Club During its fourth year, the Rifle and Pistol Club continued to be one of the most popular clubs at Suffolk University. The club aims to promote shooting as a sport. It provides competent instruc- tion in the handling of firearms and the club serves to familiarize its members with the laws of the Commonwealth as they pertain to firearms. Applicants for membership must be at least eighteen years of age for the rifle team and at least twenty-one years for the pistol team. Previous experience is not essential, since former Marine Corps instructors explain and teach safety measures for both weapons. The rifle and pistol teams meet evenings twice monthly at the Commonwealth Armory. There the number of shooters is unlimited by range regulations. When the club was organized in 1947, its members purchased two trophies, one for each team. These trophies are awarded annually in May to members who win the club trophy matches. The annual elections were held in May. The new officers are planning com- petition shoots with nearby college teams for next year. Twice during the past year the club has seen movies taken by local sportsmen. FIRST ROW: Rev. Theodore Peterson, C.S.P. Chaplain; Dr. Frank Buckley, Advisor; J. DiGiacomo ; J. Greaney, President; R.

Newman Club The Catholic students ' organization in Suffolk University is the Newman Club, named in honor of the great educator, John Henry Cardinal Newman. Student membership in the Newman Club is both an obligation and a privilege. It is a source of genuine prestige for the student and for the entire Catholic effort in the University and Law School. Catholic students have a serious responsibility, as future college-trained Christian citizens to society and to the Church to preserve their Christianity and to understand how its principles supplement and vitalize the teaching of the secular classroom. The Newman Club recognizes the needs of Catholic students by welding them into a common union in order to deepen the spiritual and enrich the temporal lives of the group through a program of religious, intellectual and social activities, assisting the college and all its students whenever possible. Suffolk University Newman Club is one of over four hundred (400) Newman Clubs organized on the collegiate level affiliated with the New England Province, the National Newman Club Federation, and the Newman International Organiza- tion Pax Romana. Over 100,000 students in the United States are active members whose national unity is well expressed in the motto COR AD COR LOQUITUR — From heart to heart we speak. FIRST ROW: John Raccuia ; Jacob Aronson : Theodore Whitcomb, President; George Murphy, Treasurer . SECOND ROW: Robert Kavanagh, John Germann, Alan Ablow. Education Club The Education Club of Suffolk University is in its second year of activity. The purpose of the club is to promote the interests of teachers in training, by forming a closer bond among these training teachers, by means of fellowship and cooperation and also to increase the efficiency of education as a public service. Membership in the club is open to any student in the university of junior, senior or graduate standing, who is teaching, or is a teacher in training. Meetings are planned to coincide with the weekly conferences of student teachers, under the direction of the faculty advisor, Dr. Harold Copp, Head of the Department of Education at Suffolk University. The Education Club is a valuable instrument to the students in teacher train- ing. Here they bring their problems and council to the student members thereby paving the way for future cooperation between teacher and pupil. Officers of the club for this year were: Theodore Whitcomb, jr., President; Ernest Amaral, Vice-President; Nicolas Perella, Secretary; George Murphy, Treas- urer. Many former members of the Education Club are now permanently settled at teaching duties throughout the state. Occasionally members return for club meetings to keep abreast of the latest theories and methods in the field of education.

Hockey What promised to be Suffolk ' s best hockey team got off to an early start in November by holding practice sessions at the Boston Skating Club in anticipation of one of the toughest schedules in the history of Suffolk. The highly talented sextet was also to be the first in the history of Suffolk to play an Ivy college on a competitive basis. Suffolk met Brown University late in January and although losing, was not disgraced as Brown was rated as one of the best teams in the country. For a while, in the first frame, Suffolk led Brown and had the distinction of being one of the few teams to accomplish this feat. Most of the team members were from the freshmen, sophomore and junior classes. Their performances indicated more successful hockey years for Suffolk. Senior stalwarts, Captain Byron Balfour and Don Shea, turned in commendable performances. Suffolk was also fortunate to have a net minder with the talents of Pete Kontos, who also tends the nets for a team on the North Shore. He was widely praised for his ability. It is well to note this year ' s overall schedule as the power-houses represented are seldom seen on the schedules of colleges which are on a level with Suffolk. They included: Holy Cross, Brown College, Amherst College, Saint Anselms, Uni- versity of Massachusetts, Colby, Bowdoin, American International College, and Springfield College. FIRST ROW: J.

With the taller men of the past seasons graduated, the Blue and Gold had to fight hard for most of their eight victories in thirteen contests. Coach Charlie Law had his boys employ the fast type of ball playing in order to alleviate the opponents ' height advantage. Led by Lynn Classical alumnus, Jake Stahl, who tallied 213 points for a 17.9 average, Sal Caputo and Jim Kurios with an 11 point average, the Suffolk team turned in some of the most creditable performances on New England basket- ball courts this season. The game of the year was played at Worcester with Assumption College. Suffolk, classed by local newspapers as a 13-point under-dog, went on to defeat the Worcesterites by a 58-56 decision. Jim Kurios led the stunning upset with 20 points. With the current world crisis becoming increasingly unpredictable, Suffolk like other colleges, will do their best again to floor a capable and popular basketball quintet. FIRST ROW: Manager R.

Baseball Team Suffolk University fielded a fast, highly spirited baseball team this year which had the potential strength to compete with any of the larger colleges in the New England area. The totals at the end of the year showed six wins to four defeats giving the Rams an enviable .600 average. During the year, the Suffolk nine handled such teams as Boston Teachers College, Lowell Textile, Bridgewater, and New Bedford Textile easily. Besides defeating these teams, they threw a scare into Little Ivy League teams of Bowdoin and Colby. We must admit defeat but reconcile ourselves by realizing the facilities, abundance of material, and sponsored resources received by these teams. Coach Charlie Law, and Assistant Coach Dave Perkins took their charges in a trek each day to the other side of Boston and with perseverence and excellent response fielded a team that bottled Tufts, the New England representative to the NCAA play-offs in Colorado, to a losing but splendid 9-6 ball game. The Rams outhit and outplayed the Jumbos, but by bunching a few hits the Tufts aggregation took the decision. Capt. John O ' Brien took the mound to avenge a two year old thorn in his side. It was then John was out-lucked by the Tuftsmen by a 2-1 ninth inning defeat. Nevertheless, John gave a brilliant per- formance in the final game of his college career.

Soccer Team Soccer, or Suffolk ' s hard luck sport, was the exact blueprint of last year ' s team with the win and loss column remaining the same. Injuries and hospitalization both joined forces to handicap players and coach alike. Coach Mai Donahue was stricken with acute appendicitis at the half way mark in the season. His recovery was not in time to aid the team for the remainder of its schedule. On the favorable side, this year ' s team was a determined one, and although from a winning standpoint the season was not a successful one, the benefits that a player gets from Soccer surpasss the unfavorable. Soccer in most foreign coun- tries is a national sport and it is difficult for Americans to master. In most Amer- ican games the hands are taught to play an all important part, whereas in Soccer they are not used. Among most of Suffolk ' s collegiate opponents the foreign enrollment stands at a high figure and competition is great. Outstanding performances were handed in by virtually all team members. Pedro Kokaras, Suffolk ' s only player with foreign playing experience, played an outstanding game through most of the season. He was injured in the New England College game at Henniker, N. H, and had to spend some time in the Concord hospital. Led by Captain Bob Sparaco, the squad faced: Tufts College, Fitchburg State Teachers, New Bedford Textile, M. I. T., New England College, Bradford Textile, and Bridgewater State Teachers College. Sailing Team Twice a week during the spring months, the Suffolk sailing team hoisted their sails on both the Charles River and the Mystic Lakes. The sailing club of a few years ago has grown into a first class varsity sport, and last season won top honors in the Charles River Basin League. Under the leadership of Commodore Ed Younie, the Suffolk sailors sailed a few points over Harvard, and an even greater margin over Northeastern, Tufts, Boston College, Boston University, Babson, and M. I. T. Golf Team Golf, a minor sport that has growing pains, will probably develop into a first class varsity sport next year. Under the direction of Coach Jack Keane the Suffolk Golfers, in addition to playing most of the intown colleges, took trips to Tufts and the University of New Hampshire. The capable swinging of Captain Ted New- combe, and seniors Mitchell Abood, and Frank Gallagher made it possible to end the season with a fairly successful record.
