BOOSTER CLUB 1942 The spirit pushed forward by the Booster Club was undoubtably a potent factor in the success of the various activities throughout the year. Through the capable man- agement of Brother Louis Weber, SM., this small group of students kept the traditional spirit high by their paintings and posters in the school halls. These drawings which depict wins and encouraged wins over athletic rivals spurred many a student to come to the games and helped the team by their enthusiastic shouting to win many a hard fought battle. Besides boosting the athletic spirit they fur- nished unaccountable aid in the success of the annual drives. This club kept the students and the fac- ulty members well posted as to the events that were taking place. Through their artistic designs they furnished many inspirations to the student body. These drawings, however were not made by the flip of a finger. They took many hours of ardent work on the part of the student. Of this small group of students and their faculty advisor it is fitting to say that they were a valuable and indispensable organ- ization here at Chaminade. 26

Father Dannely says Mass, while boys from Mt. St. lohn sing. structions, spiritual readings, and devotions to the saints. lt had its inauguration on the morn of St. Patrick's Day, Tuesday, March 17, and terminated on Friday of the same week. An outstanding religious gesture was made by the student body with the presentation of a spiritual bouquet consisting of Masses, reception of Holy Communion, visits, and ejaculations, to our principal, Brother Iulius May on the occasion of the celebration of the feast of St. Iulius, his patron and name- sake. Brother May expressed his sincere gratitude to the students and compli- mented them on the excellence of their choice of gifts. ln speaking of matters religious it would be sheer negligence if we should fail to mention the Solemn High Mass that was offered for the repose of the soul of Lt. Charles Litkowski, former teacher at Chaminade, who, like so many others at Bataan, gave the last full measure of his devotion that this nation might live. We at Chaminade shall always remember the ceremonies with which we paid final tribute to one whom Christ must surely have had in mind when He said, No greater love hath a man than to lay down his life for a friend. 25

CUR FRIENDS One of the most important instru- ments used in school-lite is the li- brary.
