Working zealously in an effort to germinate in young Catholic manhood the seed of true Christianity, Bishop Alter taught his charges the spiritual responsibility which the Catholic man of today must accept. Our Bishop has set an example which accurately charts and directs our course of living toward heavenly channels. His peerless guidance has left in us an enduring impression which cannot fail to find its way into our future. We express our deep apprecfation for his fatherly solicitude, his personal interest in our beloved alma mater and his continued support of all our undertakings. May Almighty God grant him richest blessings and strength to carry on, his struggle against the onslaughts of modern evil.

Cha- mfnade, therefore, offers its students ample oppor- tunities both to learn their religion and to practice it. With the essential Truths of our Catholic Faith explained and the practical application of the vir- tues and teachings of Christ imparted, the students of Chaminade receive a true education. Daily, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is offered in the school chapelg Confessions are heard both before and after classesg Benediction is also held and prayers for special intentions are frequently said. This year the recitation of the Litany of the Blessed Virgin every Friday morning by the entire student body augmented the schoolls religion exer- cises. The coordination of these religious activities is smoothly handled by Chaminade's C.S.M.C. Among the various activities sponsored by the C.S.M.C. was the Holy Year Pilgrimage. On the feast of Christ the King over 400 students took part in this demonstration of faith. Beginning at Em- manuel's Church, the students moved on to Sacred Heart, then to Holy Trinity. The pilgrimage then proceeded to St. Joseph's Church where it was solemnly concluded with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. G. Zwisler, D. Ferdelman, T. Egan, A. Krystofik and J. Kurz receive gold pin.
