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 do graduate study in Latin American countries. The club has grown rapidly since its inception and is constantly search- ing 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 officers of the Spanish Club for 1949-50 were as follows: Ioseph Ryan, President: Charles Luther, Vice-President: Alice B. Wittlin, Secretary: Robert Newton, Treasurer. The faculty advisor is Dr. George H. McKee, Head of the Language Department at Suffolk University.

Rifle and Pistol Club Embarking on its third year, the Rifle and Pistol Club still proves to be one of the most popular clubs at Suffolk. The Rifle and Pistol Club aims to promote shooting as a sport. It pro- vides competent instruction 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 ex- perience 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 Common- wealth Armory. There the number of shooters is unlimited by range regula- tions. 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.

Throughout its long career as one of the oldest clubs of the university, it has brought many pleasant hours of entertainment and enjoyment to interested students. During the school year 1949-50, 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.
