Devlin, and treasurer, Margo Fick.
On October 25 fhe IRC Club held its annual fall picnic at Kutsky
Park. On November 3 and 4 many members of the IRC Club journeyed to Hamline University, and on November 11-12, traveled to St.
Catherine's College. The purpose of these meetings was to recognize
fhe growing international responsibilities of the United States and its
citizens.
On December 15, 1955, the IRC joined forces with the Future
