C31 f' I Q 7wJ.'hxQ-ep lf rig AERO CLUB A 3 LTHOUGH only in the second term of its existence, the Aero Club has already attained an enviable position in the scale of Harris club- dom. This sudden rise to fame was due mainly to the club's exhibi- tion of model airplanes which was held in the library during the early U r fV'a weeks of this semester. Mr. Bannister, the clubis faculty advisor, whose entrance into Harris oc- curred the same semester that the club was formed, is responsible for a great portion of the club's success. Having served in France with the Air Corps dur- ing the World War, he is, without doubt, Well-qualified to advise the club and lecture to it on the various branches of aeronautics. rThe study of aeronautics seems to have excited the interest of a great number of Harrisites, as shown by the clubls large membership, and the ex- cellence of the exhibition models.

Con- 1-Vb scientious and earnest practice has been the by-word. 3 ' In an atmosphere where figures and symbols reign supreme, the members of the squad meet every Week and revel in the abstruse sci- ence of numbers. Mr. Newman has supervised their activities and has aided them to achieve the perfecton for which they strove. Much credit is due to this instructor not only for proving himself so excellent a coach, but also for having given so generously his time and energy to the improvement of the calibre of his squad. Ruben Fine, whose Wizardry in things mathematical and scientific has gained recognition, is the captain, and Joseph Kaff is the manager of the team. The other members of this team are Herzog, Hauser, Roeder and Sher- iff, while Mendelssohn, Roos, and Chasick act as alternates. Page One Hundred Six

L! is JUN1oR NEWMAN Ap, HE Junior Newman Club has again provided students of the Catholic faith in Townsend Harris with an interesting semester's program. It has developed into one of our most successful clubs chiefly through its social activities which far exceed those of any similar organization i ' in the school. These activities are due largely to the society's affiliation J I with the junior Newman Association of America. As is the custom, several faculty speakers addressed the club at various times during the term. Prominent among these were Messrs. Flynn, Fitzpat- rick and Keleher, all members of the English department. The officers of the organization merit much credit for having carried on the affairs of the society so well during the absence of Mr. Fitzpatrick, the energetic faculty advisor. - They are: Prefitienf .... ................... ..............
