Miss Mary Louise Jones, spoii-
ser of the Club, said that this
would be a year of building and
reorganization, but there is great
potential in the prospective mem
bers.
Thirteen new members have
been added to the Tennis Club.

“It seems as though tlie best
choices for the Republican iionii-
nation for President are men who
do not want to run!” Commented
Mr. Roberts, sponsor of the Young
Democrats, drily, when asked his
opinion of the present domestic
political situation.
This statement and many others
indicate the line of activity that
the newly formed Current Poli
tics Club will enter. This new
organization is a temporary com
bination of the Young Demo
crat and Republican Clubs, who
decided almost unanimously to
unite.
The basic motive for combin
ing forces is to help prepare for
next year’s heavier political activ
ity. According to Mr. Roberts,
there should be numerous benefits
from this temporary unification.
Students may learn to “face facts
and become real citizens.” This
new heterogeneous organization
will be a true “bi-partisan edua-
tional effort,” and Mr. Roberts
hopes that the uniting of the two
political clubs will help “over
come characteristics feminine ap
athy in politics.”
Although the two clubs have
joined for this year, each group
is retaining its separate auton
omy. Both the Young Democrats
and Republicans will continue to
exist while the Current Politics
“political confederation” hopes to
assist all in gaining a fuller uii-
der.standing of what politics is all
about.
The Current Politics Club is
overflowing with definite plans for
the year. The chief goal is to set
up a mock Republican convention

to be held from May 6-8. This will
be as true to life as possible. There
Avill be preliminary registration
procedures for voters in early
spring; the club warns that the
elections will be most realistic—
if you do not register, you do not
vote.
A week following the Conven
tion will be the actual elections,
and it is hoped that all St. Mary’s
girls will participate. Also in store
for the year are guest speakers,
hopefully Lieutenant Governor
Scott and Representative Gard
ner. There will be monthly St.
Mary’s polls on various political
issues.
Officers have been elected for
both separate clubs although it
has not been decided yet how the
whole Current Politics body will
elect its officers-at-large. The
Young Democrat leaders are:
President, Cathie Shoaf; Vice-
President, Nancy Richardson;
Secretary-Treasurer, Ann Keller;
while President Chris Crowley,
and combination Vice-President-
Secretary - Treasurer Joslin
Schwartz will run the Young Re
publicans.
