RAY DECJiENE Faculty Advisors .................... MR. ROBERT RUSSELL MR. JOHN BELNIAK In November, 1946, a group of 22 students formed the "'Baccacia" Society to promote good fel– lowship and lasting friendships. In an effort to dispel pre-exam depression, Bac– cacia presented their first annual Gloom Ball, January, 1947. In March, complete with corpse and coffin, they honored the Irish with Patty's Wake. At the beginning of the new school term, the organization put on the Shipwreck dance in true nautical style. An Academic Aid Committee for the benefit of its members has aided many a "gloom-ball" victim. Not content with being scholars, the Baccacians have proved themselves in the field of sports. They are actively represented in the college intramural football and basketball leagues, finishing high in both sports. A recent addition to Baccacia activity was the scholarship fund set up by the organization to help worthy individuals. The first award will be made in November, 1948. 93
