Our pet project, "Operation Scholastic," managed to get into full swing and at this writing, we have the Scholastic in nine of the local high schools. The club members feel that the presence of the Scholastic in the various Guidance Departments and Senior Rooms may play a major role for Seniors who are undecided as to where to con tinue their education — we also encourage other clubs to adopt this plan. The December meeting was held at Gibsons Colonial Inn, Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Joe McCabe and his group of men dcscr\'e a pat on the back for their fine job of arranging the details. This was an open meeting — members could bring guests — and after this meeting was over, the feeling that tve would soon have an auxiliary grew by leaps and bounds. The business meeting was very short due to the fact that the members wished to attack the dining tables and also to partake in Holiday festivities. The January meeting was held at the Pine Tree Inn, Ncwburgh, N. Y., and the group led by Jim Flanagan made it possible for us to have a gala time. The two major items of business were the Man of the Year Award nominations and the ND Glee Club. The Glee Club project was dropped from the agenda as there was no open date on their itinerary. The Man of the Year Award committee chairman, John Kuhn, met with his group and a candidate was chosen. As of this writing, the February meeting will be held at the Hotel Kirkland, Kingston, N. Y., at which time the list of candidates for club offi cers will be made up and initial plans for Uni versal Notre Dame night will he set into motion.
