The Newman Club The Suffolk University Newman Club has once more succeeded in furthering the purpose for which it was established. As a member of the nation-wide National Catholic Students Group, it promoted the spiritual, in- tellectual and social relationships of its members in our non-sectarian uni- versity. Under the spiritual direction of our new chaplain, Father Theodore C. Peterson, C.S.P., PhD., S.T.L., and aided by faculty advisor, Dr. Frank M. Buckley, Sr., informative lectures were presented throughout the year. Our delegates attended the local, regional and national conventions as members of the Federation of College Catholic Clubs. The featured functions of the past year consisted of a Communion Breakfast held on Sunday, Ianuary 8, 1949, at the Hotel Bradford, with Secre- tary of the Commonwealth, the Honorable Edward I. Cronin as guest speaker: a timely lecture on EUTHANASIA by Father Peterson: a lecture on MAR- RIAGE by Father Ioseph L. Quinn, C.S.P., New England Director of the New- man Clubs: and the year was highlighted by a Communion Banquet held on April 16. 1950 at the new Child's Old France restaurant. The club's membership drive succeeded in doubling the number of en- rollments.

Suffolk University Club of Lowell The Suffolk University Club of Lowell was organized on February ll, 1948, by a handful of Lowell students who felt the need of a fraternal organi- zation for the growing Lowell attendance at the Beacon Hill school. The movement was almost spontaneous and from the outset a spirit of cooperation and willingness to work was displayed by the organizers. In two years, the club has earned the reputation of the most active col- lege 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. During the school year, the club promotes a number of dances, ban- quets and get-togethers. At the second annual installation last year, the club honored President Walter Burse, who remarked that the spirit of he organiza- tion was the most remarkable thing he had seen in his three years at the Uni- versity. When Robert Munce was appointed as Dean of the School of Liberal Arts the club feted him at a banquet. Dean Frank L. Simpson of the Law School was the honored guest at the third annual installation ceremonies last April. With many graduates remaining in the club as alumni, the club con- tinually grows as each new freshman class enters Suffolk. Many applications for membership have been received from alumni who graduated as long as twenty years ago.

Press Club The Press Club of Sufiolk 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 departments to join and actively participate in club functions. Officers of the club for 1950 were: Iohn Clancy, Chairman: Robert A. Devin, Vice-Chairman: Barbara Savini, Secretary: and Don Woodrow, Treas- urer. The club constitution was drawn up by Robert A. Devin and Victor Campisi. The outgoing members of the club wish to extend their very best to the remaining members and hope the plans for the coming year will in- clude an alumni press association.
