T his past spring the Trinity Club of Boston hosted some interesting events. O n March 25, Doug Macdonald '89, the new treasurer of the Club, hosted a small group at the packedhouse showing of "Rebel Without a Cause" at the Wang Center. The theater offered a wonderful setting for the James Dean classic. The Club was also able to reinstitute its Alumni Education series this spring. On April27, Professor Michael Niemann of Trinity's political science department, presented a stimulating speech and question and answer session concerning "The War Crimes Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia." The event, hosted by Rich Maloney '89, was well attended on the first sunny Saturday morning of the season. One member of the Club's executive committee, Marc Chabot '85, was quite busy during the spring season. On the cultural side, Marc hosted the recently popular "Blue Man Group" and the always popular "Phantom of the Opera." Showing on May 9 and July 30, respectively, both shows sold out. Marc reports that "Blue Man Group" drew a strong contingent of young . alumni. O n the sports side, Marc also hosted the Club's second 路 squash outing of the year at the Boston Racquet Center. Once again the event was enjoyed by all in attendance. T he Boston Club is looking forward to the fall season when we will be attending a Red Sox game, enjoying a golf outing, hosting an alumni education
The young alumni in the Chicago area outdid themselves this spring with a fabulous happy hour for young-at-heart Trinity alums. Held at an area bar and organized by Scott Saperston '94, this event was the second annual reason-to-meeteach-other-and-not-have-tothink-that-much event. We are looking .forward to a busy fall with a send-off party for new and current students, a phonathon (November 18), and a faculty visit or two, kicking off with Professor Renny Fulco from the political science department and a discussion of the presidential debates. We hope to add a little culture to the group with our annual cultural outing in the late fall. Finally, the Admissions team will be busy once again with college fairs and interviewing. Thanks to the continued efforts of our core group including Liz McDonald '92 (our new president!), Scott
