Some of the Canterbury Club's functions in- cluded socials, panels, and guest speakers. iii' T Lutheran Students Assutiatiun The followers of Martin Luther find this club the club for their religious devotion. The program of this organization has both a reli- gious and social value. As a member of the Baltimore area LSA, the Towson group was active with Lutheran groups from other near- by colleges. This past February the Baltimore area acted as host to the entire eastern coast association of Lutheran students in Pennsylvania. ewman Club The Newman Club is composed of the Cath- olic students and faculty of State Teachers Col- lege. It is under the guidance of Father M. Schallenberg, Immaculate Conception Church, Towson, who provides spiritual and moral as- sistance to all members. Many of the activities this group carry on are in conjunction with the National Organization of Newman Clubs. The daily rosary, trips to local and neighboring city churches, and social and business meetings are important functions of this group. The in- itial use of the school chapel was a success that insures a new year full of both spiritual and social progress.
