bewildered by new concepts and new faces . . . “My name
is” . . . part of a crowd and yet alone . . . “Pardon me,
sir” . . . herded by sophomores, singing the Alma Mater
on the steps of Tagastan Hall . . . then . . . you are sopho-
mores now, giving orders . . . “Put on that beanie, Frosh”
. . . laughing with friends . . . “Look at those freshmen!
We were never like that” . . . confident; self-assured; wise
fools . . . at last. Juniors . . . humbled by problems and
answers ive never knew . . . good times mingled with
responsibilities . . . “Soon you will be leaders” . . . Junior

The Carillon is the literary magazine of Merri-

their faculty moderator. The purpose of the
Carillon is to afford an opportunity for everyone
on campus to express his literary talent and to
have this talent recognized. The magazine is well
received and is sent out to colleges across the
country on an exchange basis. Since its inception
this publication has become one of the most popu-
lar features of the campus.
As editor of the Carillon, John Perreault works
closely with Don Misenti, the business manager,
striving to make this literary ])uhlication an out-
standing success.

their realistic portrayals of the 1930’s.
The “On-Stagers” is one of the few associations on campus
that has a two-fold purpose. In conjunction with being an
entertaining organization it has for its main objective an
academic fulfillment. It attempts to educate not only the
participants in the production but also the audience so that
they may achieve a degree of theatrical understanding. In
the last production, “A View From The Bridge” by the
Pulitzer Prize winning author Arthur Miller, the efforts of
the members were clearly shown by the enthusiasm of the
audiences and the sense of fulfillment that was experienced
by the cast itself and all who had been active in the production.

One of the group’s most appealing characteristics

function as a social organization and this aim is realized in the frequent
gatherings of its members.

Among: the active clul)s on campus is the Sociology Club,
which is under the capable direction of Mr. Peterson. Theclul) is comj>riscd of Sociology majors as well as others whoare interested in the Social Sciences and its related fields.
It fulfills its purpose by tlie presentation of guest speakers,
panel discussions and field trips to various institutions.

HERITAGE CLUB
The Cultural Heritage Club, like the literate walrus, speaks
of many things. All the facets of our variegated heritage are
examined and discussed in great detail. By their actual contact
with such things such as our history, the arts, politics, andforeign affairs, a greater understanding of our milieu is achiev'ed.
The members of this group strive to develop a greater knowl-
edge and appreciation of our culture.

BUSINESS
CLUB
The Business Club, coniprisinfi the majors of Marketing, Business Adminis-tration, Accounting, aiifl Secretarial Science, affords its members the oppor-tunity to hear national executives and j)rominent local businessmen. Applica-
tion of classroom theorizing as a result of informative speeches and conferences
enables the students to discuss managerial problems by means of informal
round table discussions. A liaison between student ami professor is thus
attained which is beneficial to the student.
SECRETARIAL
SCIENCE CLUB
The Secretarial Science Club consists of all students registered in the Secretarial
Course in the School of Business Administration. The officers of the club
plan various activities for the members such as field trips and speakers from
local and national firms and the alumnae. The most important function of
the club is the Annual Fashion Show which is run exclusively by the girls
and the proceeds of which are donated to the campus building fund. In this
manner pleasure and a worthy cause are interrelated.
71
ACCOUNTING CLUBThe Accounting Society, one of the most pertinacious
clul)s on campus, helps augment and amplify the in-
terests of its memhcrs with the aid of guest lecturers
from governmental agencies, national firms, and promi-
nent local accountants. This society sj)onsors a student-
alumni hanquet in the fall as well as its traditional
hanquet in the spring. Numerous field trips, confer-
ences, and discussions make up a year of hcneficial
endeavors for those interested in the field of accounting.
PHYSICS SOCIETY
The Physics Society is a medium through which the student of physics andother related fields such as engineering may increase their knowledge of
physical principles. The Society su])plcnients the student’s classroom education
with lectures and demonstrations which are conducted hy memhers of the
faculties of Merrimack College and neighhoring universities. Field trips arc
also undertaken in order to stimulate a greater knowdedge and understanding
of the science of physics.

ENGINEERING GUILD

The largest clul) on campus is the Engineering Guild. It is comprised entirely
of students in the Department of Engineering. The guild is composed of twoseparate groups: the American Institute of Electrical Engineering and the
Civil Engineering Guild. Both endeavor to familiarize the engineering students
wdth the various phases of their particular fields. One of the highlights of
the fall social season is the annual Transit Trot which is sponsored Ijv the
Engineering Guild.
EPSILON
DELTA
SOCIETYThe ability to understand Mathematics is a gift that
is possessed hy only a few. Beyond this understanding
it is necessary to develop an appreciation and an
interest in the field. The Epsilon Delta Society is an
organization that is mainly concerned with fostering
this interest and appreciation. Some of the projects
sponsored hy the members are underwriting guest fac-
ulty and student speakers and providing an opportunity
to visit neighboring research plants. The frequent ap-
pearance of their publication, “The Limit,” tends to
provoke interest and to serve as a stimulus for origi-
nality among the students. The society also tries to
develop in its members a realization of the effects of
Mathematics on an individuaTs personality and to showthat “the essence of mathematics lies in its freedom.”

PHI KAPPA THETA
Founded upon the principles of Catholic brotherhood, Phi
Kappa Theta has been active on campus since 1960. The year
1961 marks the terminus of its colonial status and the assump-
tion of full chapter affiliation. As the National Social Fra-
ternity at Merrimack, PKT has striven to realize the goals
of the national organization.
Under the capable leadership of its executive board, Phi KappaTheta aims to develop and grow with Merrimack and cooperate
with it in forming men of quality and character. This year’s
hoard is comprised of: Mike Thornton ’62. President; HarvevRowe ’63, Vice-President; Bill Gallagher ’63. Secretary; JimMcMorrow *62, Treasurer; and Bill Marion ‘63, Scrgeant-at-
Arms.
The Executive Board, Frank Girard, Ed Healy, Joe
McHugh, and Larry Goudreau, work hard to make the
fraternity a success.
SIGMA BETA KAPPAOne of the oldest and most outstanding organizations on campus is SigmaBeta Kappa, a social fraternity which stresses social life under Catholic aspects.
It aims at establishing a strong foundation for a lasting and true friendship
among the “brothers.” A sense of Christian morality instilled in the memhcrspromotes character development and campus leadership and is sup])lemented
by a well balanced religious and social program offered by the fraternity.
Sigma Beta Kappa undertakes the ta«k of serving as a welcoming committee
and also as hosts for many of Merrimack's social functions. Twice a year
the fraternity offers a pledging or initiation period to prospective members.
Anv freshman or sophomore is allowed to participate in this six week program
during which time the “pledges” are carefully screened ))y the memhers.
Sigma Beta Kappa truly fulfills its obligations as a Catholic fraternal organi-
zation.

the season was the road trip to Rutgers and Pennsylvania where they played

Shown reigning over the first annual Merrimack College Winter Carnival,
the newly crowned Queen, Natalie Frost, and her entire court heain their
appreciation. Although this was the first event of this nature held at Merri-
mack, the W inter Carnival was enthusiastically supported hy the student body
throughout all the manv events of the weekend. This gala affair promises
to he the social highlight of the College calendar in the years to come.

After a casual dance on Friday evening, a semi-formal
dance was held the following night featuring the informal
music of the formal Billy Rich orchestra.
The final event of the Winter Carnival found the Merri-
mack students clap])ing their hands in rhythm and delight
with the folk songs of the cavers.
It is spring again, but this ivill be the last for me here.
Each moment is precious and fleeting. This past year
was a time of laughter sprinkled with tears: the gay
moments of the Senior Dinner Dance, saddened by the
realization that May was drawing nearer. It was a lime
of earnest effort: long hours devoted to seminar with its
intimate exchange of ideas. It was a time of anticipation
of things to come, and then, of goodbyes. Unknowingly.
I memorize every pathway, every building etched against
the sky. Th ese have become a part of me, a part that
will live on in my memories. iSoiv the future, uncertain
and yet hopeful, stretches before me. There can be no
doubt, no sadness now. This is not an end, but a begin-
ning. . . .

DEDICATION DAY
The ceremonies of Dedication Day are a tradition
of this college which has been transferred to every
succeeding Junior Class. The tree, Hag, and the class
gift symbolize the tradition built up by this college
and rooted deeply in the hearts of her students. Fif-
teen years ago Merrimack College embraced an age-
old tradition, a Christian tradition, to which the stu-
dents and the faculty have contributed a distinctive
flavor. This characteristic quality, in turn, has been
an inspiration to all those intimately related to this
institution. We sincerely hope that this Christian and
democratic tradition will continue to be nourished and
to be forever perpetuated.
With skirts flying, the girls streak toward the finish line andpossibly a new world’s record.
IVo, the Seniors didn’t bring their children to school. This just
illustrates to what extent the co-eds go on their day at Merri-
mack. Just the same, they all had fun.
The annual Co-eds Day at Merrimack College is a highlight
of Junior Week, which is enthusiastically looked forward to
by all sophomore and freshman women. The Junior girls
dressed as they had in the first grade, and generally acted
as though they wished those days were here again. No one
on campus enjoyed themselves more than did those “frolicking
females,” but dreading their faithful return to the books and
the collegiate library the next day. Oh well!!, those are the
breaks.
“I knew these Junior girls were crazy!!” “Well, just one day’s
madness isn’t too had.”

The social climax of a long, wonderful week for
the Junior Class was the Junior Prom. The inter-
nationally famous orchestra of Woody Herman per-
formed in the dazzling atmosphere of the Hillview
Country Club, and the enthusiasm displayed by the
dancers was an indication of the complete success of
this gala event. At midnight, everyone sat down to
a wonderful meal while the Frankie Kahn comboplayed for dancing and listening pleasure. We are all
sure that this evening will stand out as one wonderful
memory in our four years at Merrimack College, andwe sincerely hope succeeding classes will enjoy as
much success in their endeavors.
Pat and Eddie have every right to l)e ecstatic. Their
hard work as co-chairmen of this, the most enjoyable
Junior Prom in Merrimack’s history, is certainly ap-
preciated by their classmates. Congratulations on a
job very well done.
