Among the other medal donors before the first graduation were: Dr. E. J. McOscar, Rev. John Cavanaugh, C. S. C., Rev. John Quinlan, Hon. Stephen Fleming. 'The recip- ients were: Joseph Tompkins, Harold Carr, Don Weber, John Wyss. During those early years Bishop Alerding came often to see how his boys were doing, and he never went away without having made us happier. Wherever else you meet him you feel that he is the Bishop, but when you see him in school you only think of him as a kindly father. 1 Dare to be trueg nothing ca.n need a lieg A fault that needs it most, grows two thereby. -The Church Porch.

CENTRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL ECHO . - - Hen and Walsh, after they had tied some handkerchiefs around the wound, were haul- ing Bob toward the college when they met the priest and doctor in a sleigh with Jim. After the priest and doctor had performed their duties, Bob was taken to the hospital. The bullet was removed that evening, and as Walsh and Dowley and the other three were sitting by his bedside that night, Bob became con- scious and recognized his schoolmates. Within two weeks he was permitted to leave the hos- pital, to the great joy of his companions. VVatch me get that dare-devil who is lead- ing his men up Little Round Top, said Bob to Hen on the morning of July 2, 1863, as the sun came out to witness the triumph of the Union Army. And get him he did. After Lee's men were beaten back from Little Round Top, Bob and Hen went to look at the man that Bob got near the top of the hill. The recognized the unconscious form of lValsh. What! Walsh a rebel? Alas! 'twas so. I feel sorry for him, said Hen, and I think Iill try and find a doctor. Better bring a priest, too, said Bob. In a few minutes Hen returned with the priest and said that the doctor would come when he had tended to the Union wounded. After the priest had given XValsl1 absolu- tion, the dying man opened his eyes for the last time. and as they fixed themselves on the gray lock of hair above Bob's ear, he moaned aloud, Better bring a priest, too!, OU R GRADUATES By R. L. Beuret, '16. II-Charles Girardot. In the diocese of Indianapolis there isa quiet little Benedictine abbey called Saint Meinrad's. Connected with the abbey is a college for ecclesiastical students. We are told that it takes about two days to get to this place from Fort Wayneg but even if this be true, you will not regret the time you spend in going there if you inquire for Mr. Charles Girardot as soon as you arrive at the college. Tell him that you are from Fort Wayne and that you know something about the C. C. H. S. No more is necessary. You have found a friend. From him you will get some idea of what an entertainer is. An hour's 'visit Will seem but a few minutes, but before the hour is up you have seen the best parts of the school, gotten much information on various subjects, and heard no war talk. Indeed, Charlie is too peaceful to talk war, but never- theless he made a perfect fencing master in the Upstart,' while a Senior at our school. We believe that this was the only time he did not look peaceful, but Frank Biemer's paint is to be blamed for that. Yes, we feel proud of Charlie for many reasons. A young man of good sense, much talent, and noble character,.he was the first of our graduates to aspire to the priesthood. He heard the Master's call, and with all the generosity of a noble soul' that sees life at its worth, he determined to accept the invita- tion to the court of the King of kings. As soon as he was graduated in 1913, he obtained Bishop Alerdingfs consent to enter Saint Mein- rad's Seminary. He has,been pursuing his ec- clesiastical studies since, but he never fails to pay a visit to our school during the Christ- mas and summer holidays. He spends his vacations with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Al- phone Girardot, of Superior Street. . We wish you all success, Charlie, and we hope that your example will be followed. by many another of our talented and worthy schoolmates. AUTUMN LEAVES The verdure of the trees and iiowers Has heeded Autumn's call. ' And left the trance of summer sun To revel in the fall.

WEBER, Secretary VOL, I. NOVEMBER NO. 2 BOARD OF EDITORS Joseph Brennan Leo N. Weber Leo C. Behler C. M. Harkenrider Clarence Getz Paul J. Foohey Don A. Beck Harold Kramer A- Husuenard Leslie Logan We had thought of writing some great and learned editorial, something that would be treasured by the human race until the last man had buried himselfg but on second thought we concluded it would be better to write some- thing less far-reaching but, nevertheless, more pertinent for ourselves. 'We need more school spirit at the C. C. H. S. There is nothing like it. Without it a school is but a factory where work is done unwil- lingly, where each one is anxious to push his own selfish interests, wherethere is no sym- pathy of hearts, where there is no responsive- ness to those things that engender loyalty and devotedness. When we make the school cause our cause, when we not only refrain from criticism- our- selves, but do our utmost to discourage it in othersg when we have convinced ourselves that our school means more to us than any other school, that her ideals are the ideals of Christ the Teacher of men-then, and not un- til then, can we say we have school spirit. Let us then, fellow-students, put our should- ers to the wheelg let us push forward those ideals, those principles, those teachings, to which the Central Catholic High School is dedicated. Let us learn in youth to make HIGH SCHOOL ECHO h sacrifices for a good and necessary cause. Let us realize the honor that is ours in being students of a school that has built such a name for itself in so short a spaceof time. Let us not be seliish, but let. us build up that Work which those who have gone before us have thus far so nobly advanced. Let us say in the words of Webster: She is small, sir, but there are those who love her. Yes, resolve now to be one of those who love herg one of those who proves his love by boosting and strengthening every enterprise undertaken by her, one of those who in future years can look back with pleasure and say of every good thing: I helped to do that, not one of those air-domes who boast of th-e things they got away with while at school. LOCAL AND PERSONAL. A portion of the School Library has been transferred to the Senior room. Six Valuable reference books have been sent to the school by the Superintendent, Rev. A. E. Lafontaine. Two complete encyclopedias ar-e expected in a few days. These should be a great aid to us as we need books that present disputed events in a fair-minded spirit.

What are they for anyway? -lk wk DF Here's the latest Faculty Decree: Where- as many of our students who have been ac- customed to remain after school preparing their lessons for the next day have complained concerning the conduct of others who stay over time in order to amuse themselves, the Faculty deems it expedient and beneficial t.o introduce a study period of one hour after school. All who wish to take advantage of this .hour must keep strict silence from 3:30 to 4:30. All who come late in the morning or afternoon will be given special work 'to do during this period.
