In a Catholic School, the Largest Club
Seated: Henneberry, Krauska, Siegel, Gauna, Kneafsey.

The National Federation of Catholic College
Students is composed of seven organizations,
all of them pictured on the following pages.
FORENSICS SOCIETY: The forensics voice
was not silent in spite of the members' lack of
experience. A series of discussions on WOC-TV
was held with the various forensic organizations in the Iowa region. The programs were
telecast one Saturday of every month beginning in March and ending in May. Several other
discussions were also held with colleges in the
Iowa region.
HUMAN RELATIONS: The Human Relations Committee is the newest group in the
Iowa region. Its aim is to give the students a
broader view of social problems based upon
Christian principles.
LITURGY COMMISSION: By conducting
polls among the students, the Liturgy Commission has encouraged people to think more about
active participation especially in regard to the
Mass. The Commission has also been helping to
supply servers for the daily Masses here on
campus.
FAMILY LIFE: One of the younger collisions of the NFCCS in the Iowa region strives
to supplement the courses taught on Christian
Marriage. Its purpose is to show the students
how they can live a fuller and more Christian
Married life.
This commission sponsors dances and other
social events between the schools, discussions
on the proper aspects of dating and marriage,
discussions on social problems at and between
the schools, and works in conjunction with the
administrations in carrying out its ideas.
MARIOLOGY: The Mariology club holds
regular discussions about Mary, the mother of
God. Besides the discussion groups, the Mariology group sponsors the daily and living
rosaries.
YOUNG CHRISTIAN STUDENTS: The Y.
C. S. has, by study and discussion groups, attempted to advance the learning ability of the
students. The past two years have been spent
exclusively in the attempt to set up a freshman orientation program. Y. C. S. has its own
religious exercises which are designed primarily for the benefit of the group itself.
PRESS COMMISSION: This organization
distributes Catholic literature on the campus.
It also maintains a Catholic periodical rack
near the college snack bar.
